Nahumu 3

1 Ninive rankumapima nemaniza vahe'mota kva hiho. Tamagra havige nehuta vahe zamahe nefriza vahe mani'naze. Ana nehuta hapinti vahe feno zantamina rohu zamareta Ninive kumapina eri ante avite'naze.

Maye kumuzi wezingazi, wonke ugcwele amanga lempango! Okuphangiweyo kakusuki.

2 Ha' vahe'mokizmi sondia vahe'mo'za karisi zamifi mani'neza hosi afu zamima sefu'ma rumeki nezami'zama neazageno neria agasasane, karisi zamimofo tazamo'ma havema refaragu'ma vazino ne-ea zamofa agasasane, hosi afuzamimo'zama vagari vagarima hu'za esaza zamofo zamagasasankea antahigahaze.

Umsindo wesiswepu, lomsindo wokugedlezela kwamavili, lowamabhiza amathayo, lowezinqola ezeqayo.

3 Ha' vahe'mo'za hosi agumpi manine'za taragi'za ne-eazageno, bainati kazi zamireti'ene karugaru keve zamiretira ru marave marave nehanige'za egahaze. Ana nehu'za rama'a vahe eme zamahe frisnageno, frisaza vahe'mokizmi zamavufagamo'a hihi huno amne zankna huno hamprigara osugahie. Ana hanige'za vahe'mo'za zamaga ana zamagofetu re'za vano nehu'za tanafara hugahaze.

Umgadi webhiza uphakamisa kokubili inkemba ephazimayo lomkhonto ocwazimulayo, njalo kulexuku lababuleweyo, lenani elikhulu lezidumbu; yebo kakulasiphelo sezidumbu; bayakhubeka phezu kwezidumbu zabo.

4 E'i ana zama fore'ma haniana na'ankure, Ninive kumamo'a mago knare agi agonane monko a'mo'ma safeza huno vene'nema zamavare agrarega atreankna huno, maka kumatamimpi vahera zamazeri savari hige'za eme monko avu'ava zana nehazageno, safe'zama nehia zantamina rempi huzamige'za ana avu'ava hu'nazagu anara hugahie.

Ngenxa yobunengi bokufeba kwesiphingi, inkosazana ekhangayo yobuthakathi, esithengisa izizwe ngokuphinga kwaso, lemideni ngobuthakathi baso.

5 Hankavenentake Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nehie, Ninive kumamoka hara hugante'na siketi kenaka'a erisga hu'na kavugosa refitenunka kavufga kavapako oti'nesanke'za maka ama mopafi vahe'mo'za negagesagenka tusi kagazegu hugahane.

Khangela, ngimelene lawe, itsho iNkosi yamabandla; ngizakwembulela amalogwe akho phezu kobuso bakho, ngitshengise izizwe ubunqunu bakho, lemibuso ihlazo lakho.

6 Nagra himna vu'nesania tetemuteti kazeri haviza hugahue. Nagrama kazeri havizama hanua zana maka ama mopafi vahe'mo'za negesu'za kiza zokago ke hugantegahaze.

Ngiphosele amanyala phezu kwakho, ngikwenze udeleleke, ngikumise njengento yokubukelwa.

7 Ana maka vahe'mo'zama kagri'ma kagesaza vahe'mo'za, zamagia zamefigati reme reme nevu'za amanage hugahaze. Ninive kumamo'a haviza huno kugusopafi maseanagi, iza eno zavira eme atenentesigeno, iza eno eme asunkura hunenteno azeri so'ea huntegahie? hu'za hugahaze.

Kuzakuthi-ke wonke okubonayo akubalekele, athi: INineve ichithekile. Ngubani ozayililela? Ngizakudingela ngaphi abaduduzi?

8 Naeli ran timofo ankenaregama Tebesi kumamo'ma knare'ma huno me'negeno'ma, timo'ma kagintegeno'ma me'nea kumara kagra Ninive kumamoka rugaterenka knarera hu'nampi? Ana kumamofona hagerimo vihugnara huntegeno timo'a maka asoparega keginagna huno mekaginte'neno agura nevazie.

Ungcono yini kuleNo-Amoni eyayihlezi phakathi kwemifula, elamanzi inhlangothi zonke, omthangala wawo wawululwandle, umduli wawo wawusukela elwandle?

9 Itiopia mopafi vahe'mo'zane, Isipi mopafi vahe'mo'za Tebesi rankumapi vahera ozmatre zamazahu vava nehaze. Ana nehakeno ana knafinena Puti mopafi vahe'mo'zane Libia mopafi vahe'mo'za zamagranena Tebesi mopafi vahera zamaza huke hara hu'na'e.

IEthiyophiya leGibhithe kwakungamandla ayo angelakuphela; iPuti leLubhimi babengabasizi bakho.

10 Hianagi Tebesi rankumara ha' vahe'mo'za eme ha' hunte'za eri haviza nehu'za vahera zamavare'za kuma zamirega kina ome huzmante'naze. Ne'onse mofavre naga zaminena zamazerite'za maka kumamofo kantu hanafi ruragati'za zamahe'naze. Sondia vahe'mo'za satu zokago re'za nege'za, Isipi kamanimofo eri'za vahera refko hu'za eri'za vahe'zami zamare'naze. Ana nehu'za Tebesi rankuma'ma kvama hu'naza kva vahetamina seni nofiteti kina huzmante'naze.

Kanti yona yathuthwa yaya ekuthunjweni; lezingane zayo zachotshozwa esihlokweni sazo zonke izitalada; njalo benza inkatho yokuphosa ngabahloniphekayo bayo, labo bonke abakhulu bayo babotshwa ngamaketane.

11 Ninive kumamoka, kagranena aka ti ne'naza vahe'mo'za neginagi nehazankna hugahane. Ana nehunka ha' vahe'mokizmigu koro nehunka frakisana kumaku hakegahane.

Lawe-ke uzadakwa, uzacatsha; futhi wena uzadinga isiphephelo ngenxa yesitha.

12 Kagri'ma ha'ma eme hugantenaza vahe'mo'za, kumamofo vihu keginaka'a eme tapage hutrenageno, mago vahe'mo fiki zafa eri tagosi tagosi nehigeno, ese'ma afure'nea fiki ragamo evuramino vahe agipi freankna hugahie.

Inqaba zakho zonke zizakuba njengezihlahla zemikhiwa ezilezithelo zokuqala; uba zinyikinywa, ziwela emlonyeni wodlayo.

13 Kagri sondia vahe'mokizmia, a'nemofoma hiaza huno hankave zamia omane amane hanige'za mago zana osugahaze. Kagri mopafima ha' vahe'mo'zama efresaza kamo'a ruhagro hugahie. Ran kumamofo kafante'ma eri rusima nehaza zafa tevemo teno eri hana hugahie.

Khangela, abantu bakho bangabesifazana phakathi kwakho; amasango elizwe lakho azavulekela kakhulu izitha zakho; umlilo uzaqeda imigoqo yakho.

14 Kagri ha' vahe'mo'zama kuma'ma eme avazagi kagi sagenka'ma kumamofo agu'afima mani'nenka'ma nesana zana tina afinka retro huo. Ana nehunka kumamofo vihu kegina eri hankavetio. Higo mopa kafinka eri hapa hapa hunka simentia tro hutenka, kuma kegina hunka eri hankavetio.

Zikhelele amanzi okuvinjezelwa, uqinise izinqaba zakho; ngena odakeni, uxove ibumba, uqinise ihondo yezitina.

15 Hianagi Ninive kumamoka kagria tevemo teno eri hana nehanige'za, ha' vahe'mo'za bainati kazinteti vahera eme zamahe hana hugahaze. Ha' vahe'mo'za kenu'mo traza neno eri fananema hiaza hu'za tamagrira tamahe vaga nere'za, nazamo'ma zamavugama evania zanena kege'za otre ne'za eri fanane hugahaze. Tamagra kora kenu'mo hiaza huta rama'a vahe fore huta eri hakare hu'nazanagi, tamagrama freta ome tamagu'ma vazisaza kana omanetfa hugahie!

Lapho umlilo uzakuqeda, inkemba ikuqume, ikudle njengesikhonyane, uzandise njengesikhonyane, uzandise njengezintethe.

16 Monafi hanafi'ma me'neama'a rugatere'za zagorema nanazama atre'za eri'zama nehaza vahe'mo'za tamagripina kora mani'nazane. Hianagi kenumo'za zafani'na vatari hana hute'za, zamageko'na rutare'za hare'za frazankna hugahaze.

Wandise abathengisi bakho ngaphezu kwenkanyezi zamazulu; iqhwagi liyona, liphaphe lihambe.

17 Tamagri sondia vahe'mo'zane, kva vahe'mo'za zamagranena kenukna hu'nazanki'za, zasi ko'matia knafima kenumo'zama magopi hare'za e'za keginare eme rukamarazankna nehaze. Hianagi zagema hanatige'za ana kenu tamimo'za hare'za frazankna hu'za, inantego frazage'za vahe'mo'za nozamagaze.

Abetheswe umqhele bakho banjengezintethe, labalawulimabutho bakho banjengentethe ezinengi, ezimisa inkamba ezintangweni ngosuku lomqando; ilanga seliphumile, ziyasuka zibaleke, ingabe isaziwa indawo yazo ukuthi zingaphi.

18 Asiria kini ne'moka, sipisipi afute kva vahekamo'zane, eri'za vahekamo'zanena zamavu mase'naze. Ana hu'nazage'za sipisipi afute kva vahe omani'negeno sipisipi afutamimo agona agona panani huno freankna hu'za, kagri vahe'mo'za panani hu'za ufre efre hu'naze. Ana hu'nazankino mago vahe'mo zamazeri tru hugara osu'ne.

Abelusi bakho bayawozela, wena nkosi yeAsiriya; abakhulu bakho bazahlala; abantu bakho bazahlakazeka ezintabeni, njalo kungekho obabuthayo.

19 Kagrama hazenkema eri'nana zamo'a, mago namunkna hu'neankino marasinimo'a kazeri kanamaregara osu'ne. Kagrama hazenkema erina nanekema vahe'mo'zama antahisu'za, muse nehu'za zamaza ahegahaze. Na'ankure kagra mago vahera otre havi avu'ava zama huzamante vavama hu'nana zanku anara hugahaze.

Kakukho ukupholiswa kokwephuka kwakho, inxeba lakho libuhlungu; bonke abezwa umbiko ngawe baqakeza izandla ngawe; ngoba kukubani obungadlulanga kuye ububi bakho njalonjalo?
