Zefanaia 2

1 Tamagaze zama omane Juda vahe'mota, tamagra magopi eme eritru hiho, eme eritru hiho.

Buthanani ndawonye, buthanani ndawonye, wena sizwe esiyangisayo,

2 Anumzamo'ma keagama huramantesiana knamo'ma ome'nesigeno, kagrama kagu'ama rukrahe'ma hanana knamo'ma witi honama zaho'mo ame huno eri hareno viaza huno ovanigeno, Ra Anumzamofo arimpa ahe'zama ome'nesire,

isikhathi esimisiweyo singakafiki losuku ludlule njengamakhoba, ukuthukuthela okwesabekayo kukaThixo kungakafiki kuwe, usuku lolaka lukaThixo lungakafiki kuwe.

3 tamavufga eri anteramita nemanita, Ra Anumzamo'ma hihoma hianke'ma amage'ma nentaza vahe'mota Anumzamofonku hakeho. Fatgo avu'ava zana hankavetita nehuta, tamavufga anteramita maniho. Ana'ma hanageno'a Anumzamofo arimpa he'zamo'ma esania knazupa, Agrama kegava huramantesigu'enena ontahi'naze.

Dingani uThixo, lonke lina abathobekileyo belizwe, lina elenza lokho akulayayo. Dingani ukulunga, dingani ukuthobeka; mhlawumbe lingavikelwa ngosuku lwentukuthelo kaThixo.

4 Hagi Gaza kumapina vahera omanitfa hanageno Askeloni kumara maka eri havizantfa hanageno, Astoti kumapi vahera kinagama senkeno'a ha' vahe'mo'za e'za eme zamahe panini hanage'za nefresage'za, Ekroni kumapi vahera trazama vati'netreaza hu'za maka zamahe vagaregahaze.

IGaza izadelwa le-Ashikheloni isale isingamanxiwa. Abantu base-Ashidodi bazaxotshwa emini, le-Ekroni isitshulwe.

5 Hageri anke'nama nemaniza Kereti vahe'mota kva hiho. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a Kenani mopafima nemaniza Filistia vahe'mota keaga huramanteno, tamazeri haviza hanigeta maka vahera omanita huza fanane hugahaze hu'ne.

Maye kini lina elihlala ngasolwandle, lina sizwe samaKherethi; ilizwi likaThixo limelana lani, wena Khenani, lizwe lamaFilistiya. “Ngizakutshabalalisa, njalo kakho ozasala.”

6 Hagi hageri ankenaregama me'nea Filistia vahe mopafina, traza nehagesigeno, sipisipi afu'ma kegavama nehaza vahe'mokizmi nontamimo'ene sipisipi afutamimofo keginamo'ene anampina megahie.

Ilizwe elingasolwandle lizakuba yindawo yabelusi lezibaya zezimvu.

7 Juda naga nofipinti vahe'ma osi'ama ofri manisaza vahe'mo'za anampina trazama nenaza afu'zamia kegava hu'za manigahaze. Ana nehu'za hanima hanige'za Askeloni vahe'mokizmi nompi umasesageno Ra Anumzana zamagri Anumzamo'a kegava hunezmanteno, zamazeri knare hugahie. Kumapinti vahe'mo'za atre'za fresageno azumateni'a nontamimpi eri nafa'a hu'za manigahaze. Na'ankure Juda vahe'mokizmi Anumzana Ra Anumzamo so'e avu'ava hune zamanteno, ete zamazeri knare nehanige'za makazampina knare hu'za manigahaze.

Ilizwe lizakuba ngelabaseleyo abendlu kaJuda; bazathola amadlelo khona. Kusihlwa bazalala phansi ezindlini zase-Ashikheloni. UThixo uNkulunkulu wabo uzabalondoloza; uzabenza baphumelele futhi.

8 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Moapu vahemo'zane Amoni vahe'mo'zama Nagri vahe'ma huhavizama hunezmante'za kiza zokago kema hunezmante'za, mopazmima zamazeri koro hu'za erinaku'ma nehaza zana Nagra ko antahi'noe.

“Ngizizwile izithuko zeMowabi lokuchothoza kwama-Amoni, abathuka abantu bami besongela lelizwe labo.

9 Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Nagra kasefa hu'na mani'noa Anumzana Israeli vahe'mokizmi Anumzamo'na tamage huanki'na, Moapu vahe'mo'za Sodomu vahe'mo'zama hu'nazaza nehanage'za, Amoni vahera Gomora vahe'ma hu'noaza hu'na ozamatre maka zamazeri haviza hanugeno, anampina ave'ave trazamoke nehanigeno hagema kafiza eri'naza kerimoke'za hugahie. Nagri naga'ma osi'ama manisaza vahe'mo'za, ana vahe'mokizmi fenozana rohu zamare'za e'neriza, mopazmia eri nafa'a hugahaze.

Ngakho ngeqiniso elinjengoba ngikhona,” kutsho uThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, “impela iMowabi izakuba njengeSodoma, ama-Amoni abe njengeGomora, indawo yokhula lemigodi yetshwayi, ilizwe elichithekileyo nini lanini. Abaseleyo babantu bami bazabaphanga; abaphephileyo babantu bami bazathatha ilizwe labo.”

10 Hagi Moapu vahe'mo'zane Amoni vahe'mo'zama zamavufaga rama hu'naza zamofo mizama'a erigahaze. Na'ankure zamagra Monafi sondia vahe'mokizmi Ra Anumzamofo vahera huhaviza hunezamante'za, kiza zokago ke huzamante'nagu anara hugahaze.

Lokhu yikho abazakuthola kungumvuzo wokuzigqaja kwabo, ngenxa yokuthuka lokuklolodela abantu bakaThixo uSomandla.

11 Ra Anumzamo'a maka ama mopafima me'nea havi anumzantamina eri haviza huvaga nereno, vahera zamazeri koro hugahie. Ana hanige'za kokankokama nemaniza vahe'mo'za mopazamire manitere hu'ne'za, Ra Anumzamofona monora huntegahaze.

UThixo uzakwesabeka kubo lapho esetshabalalisa bonke onkulunkulu belizwe. Izizwe ezisemakhunjini wonke zizamkhonza, ngulowo elizweni lakhe.

12 Hagi Itiopia vahe'motanena Nagri bainati kazimo tamahe frigahie!

“Lani futhi, lina maKhushi lizabulawa ngenkemba yami.”

13 Ra Anumzamo'a azana rusuteno noti kazigama nemaniza vahera hara hunezamanteno, Asiria vahera zamazeri haviza hugahie. Ana nehuno ugagotama hu'nea Ninive kumara eri haviza hina, vahera omanisigeno ka'ma koka fore hugahie.

Uzakwelulela isandla sakhe enyakatho achithe i-Asiriya, atshiye iNiniva itshabalele ngokupheleleyo njalo yome njengenkangala.

14 Hagi ana kumapina trazante afu'tamimo'za e'za anampina eme vano nehanageno, afi zagagafamo'za e'za anampina emanigahaze. Ana nehanage'za komutomo'za nontamimofo azeri hanaveti zafare umani emani hu'ne'za krafa nehanageno, zamagerumo'a zaho'ma eri kafanteti atiramino evu evu hugahie. Faragu vaziramino hihima hania haveramimo, nomofo kafaramina rehiza hugahie. Ana nehanigeno noma vazisgama hu'nea sida zafaramimo'a amate megahie.

Imihlambi yezimvu leyenkomo izalala phansi khonapho, lezidalwa zezinhlobo zonke. Isikhova senkangala lomandukulo kuzahlala ensikeni zakhe. Ukukhala kwazo kuzezwakala emawindini, imfucuza izakuba eminyango, imijabo yemisedari ichayeke.

15 Ninive ran kumapima nemaniza vahe'mo'za kora tusi muse nehu'za zamavufaga erisga nehu'za, zamagrama antahi'zana mago zana tavatera fore osanigeta knare huta manigahune hu'za antahi'naze. Zamagra hu'za mago kumamo'e huno tagri kuma knara osu'ne hu'za nehaza kumamo'agi menina evuramino haviza hige'za, afi zaga kfamo'za anampi eme nogi'za mani'naze. Ana hazage'za karankama evaza vahe'mo'za ana kuma'ma nege'za, kiza zokago ke hunente'za zamazana ruharakihariki hu'naze.

Leli lidolobho elingakhathaliyo elalizihlalele livikelekile. Lazitshela lathi: “Ngiyimi, kakho omunye ngaphandle kwami.” Yeka ukuchitheka eseliyikho, isikhundla sezinyamazana zeganga! Bonke abadlula kulo bahleka usulu balikhombe ngeminwe.
