Hagi Babiloni vahete'ma fore'ma hania zana avana'gna zampi Ra Anumzamo'a Amosi nemofo Aisaiana averi higeno ke'neana amanahu hu'ne.
2 Phakamisa uphawu phezu koqaqa oluligceke, umemezele kubo, ubaqhwebe ngesandla ukuba bangene emasangweni asesikhosini.
Hagege agonafi mago avame'za eri oti'nenka ranke hunka kezanetinka, kazanu avame'name huge'za zamagima me'nea vahe'mo'zama rankumapima unefraza kafanteti ufreho.
3 Sengibalayile abangcwele bami, sengiwalayile amaqhawe ami ukuba afeze ulaka lwami, lawo athokozela ukunqoba kwami.
Nagra zamazeri ruotage'ma hu'noa vaheni'ama hankavenentake sondia vahera huzamantesnuge'za, Nagri narimpahe'zana eriama hu'za Babiloni vahera hara huzmantegahaze. Hagi ana sondia vahe'mo'za muse nehu'za hara hugahaze.
4 Lalelani, umsindo phezu kwezintaba, onjengowexuku elikhulu. Lalelani, ukuxokozela phakathi kwemibuso njengezizwe zibuthana ndawonye! UThixo uSomandla ubutha ibutho elibuthela impi.
Kagesa antenka agonaramimpinti'ma neria agasasankea antahio, ana agasasana rama'a vahe'mofo agasasankino, kokankoka vahe'mo'za hate vunaku sondia vahetami zamavare'za emeri atru nehu'za nerazankna agasasa nerianki kagesa antenka antahio. Hagi ana sondia vahera, Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo ha' hunaku sondia vahe zamavare tru nehie.
5 Bavela emazweni akude, emikhawulweni yamazulu, uThixo lezikhali zolaka lwakhe, ukuba kuchithwe ilizwe lonke.
Ana sondia vahera afete moparegati e'naze. Ra Anumzamo'a ana sondia vahepi huvazino arimpa ahe'zana eriama nehuno, ana maka mopa eri haviza hugahie.
6 Lilani ngoba usuku lukaThixo seluseduze. Luzafika njengokuchithakala okuvela kuSomandla.
Hagi Ra Anumzamofo knamo'a hago erava'o nehianki zavi krafage hiho. Ana knazana Hankavenentake Ra Anumzamo'a tusi'a knaza atre'nigeno egahie.
7 Ngenxa yalokhu izandla zonke zizakuba buthakathaka, inhliziyo zabantu bonke zizaphela amandla.
E'ina hu'negu mika vahe'mo'za zamazana erisga hugara osanageno, tumo'zamimo'a hapatigahie.
8 Bazakuba lokwesaba okukhulu, baphathwe yibuhlungu losizi; bazabhinqika njengowesifazane ehelelwa. Bazakhangelana bemangele, ubuso babo bungamalangabi.
Ana nehina zamagra tusi koro nehu'za, mago a'mo mofavre anteku atagu nehiaza hu'za zamatagura nehu'za, zamagra zamagogogu nehu'za ovufi avufi nehanageno zamavugosamo'a korankifa hegahie.
9 Khangelani usuku lukaThixo luyeza, usuku lwesihluku, ulaka lokuthukuthela okukhulu, ukwenza ilizwe lichitheke, kubhujiswe izoni eziphakathi kwalo.
Hanki antahiho, tamagerfa huno Ra Anumzamofo kna ne-eankino ana knama efore'ma hanigeno'a, Agra tusi'a rimpa ahenezmanteno ama mopa eri ka'ma kokaneseno, ama mopafima mani'naza kumike vahera ranknaza zamino zamahe vagaregahie.
10 Izinkanyezi zezulu lemithala yazo akuyikukhanyisa. Ilanga eliphumayo lizafiphazwa lenyanga ayiyikukhanyisa.
Hagi ana knafina monafima me'nea hanafitamine, atruma huterema hu'za nemanaza hanafi'mo'za remsa osugahaze. Ana nehanigeno zahufama hanatinoma marerisia zagemo'a ete rehani nehina, ikamo'a remsa osugahie.
11 Umhlaba ngizawujezisa ngenxa yobubi bawo, lababi ngenxa yezono zabo. Ngizaqeda ukukloloda kwabazikhukhumezayo, ngehlise ukuzigqaja kwabalesihluku.
E'inahu hu'na Ra Anumzamo'na ama mopafi vahe'mo'zama havi zamavu'zamava'ma nehu'za, kefo zamavu'zamava nehaza zantera zamazeri haviza hugahue. Ana hukna hu'na zamavufaga rama nehaza vahera zamazeri haviza nehu'na, vahe'ma zamazeri haviza nehaza vahera zamahe vagaranena ana zamavu'zamava zana omanegahie.
12 Ngizakwenza abantu basweleke okudlula igolide elicengekileyo, basweleke okudlula igolide lase-Ofiri.
Hagi vahera knare goligna hu'za osi'a vahe mani'nageno, Ofiriti'ma knare golima ke'zanku'ma amuhoma hu'za nehakazankna hu'za vahekura hakegahaze.
13 Ngakho-ke ngizakwenza amazulu anyikinyeke; lomhlaba uzamazame endaweni yawo ngokuthukuthela kukaThixo uSomandla, ngosuku lolaka lwakhe oluvuthayo.
E'ina hu'negu Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'na tusi narimpa aheanki'na ana zupa mona azeri kazakaza nehu'na, mopa eri tore hanugeno tore'vare hugahie.
14 Njengempala ezingelwayo, lanjengezimvu ezingelamelusi, omunye lomunye uzabuyela ebantwini bakibo, omunye lomunye uzabalekela elizweni lakibo.
Hagi ana knafina vahe'mo'za Gazeriema nehaza dia afu ahenaku nehigeno koro huno nefreaza nehanageno, kva vahe omanigeno sipisipi afutamimo panani huno freaza hu'za, vahe'mo'za panani hu'za vahezmiregane mopa zamiregane fre'za vugahaze.
15 Lowo ozathunjwa uzagwazwa; bonke abazabanjwa bazabulawa ngenkemba.
Hanki izano ha' vahe'mo'ma azerisnia vahera bainati kazinteti zamarenefri'za, izano ha' vahe'mo'ma azerisimofona bainati kazinteti zamahe frigahaze.
16 Izingane zabo zizamahlazelwa phambi kwamehlo abo; izindlu zabo zizakhuthuzwa, omkabo babanjwe ngodlakela.
Ana nehu'za ne'onse mofavre nagara, negesnage'za a'nanemokizmi zamazampinti hanare'za ruragati'za mopafi zamavuga atresnage'za frigahaze. Hagi nozamia tapage hu'za fenozamia eneri'za, a'nanezamia zamazeri havi'za hugahaze.
17 Khangelani, ngizabavusela amaMede angelandaba lesiliva, njalo engalijabuleli legolide.
Hagi ko, Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na Midia vahera zamazeri o'netuanki'za e'za Babiloni vahera hara eme huzmantegahaze. Zamagra silvagu'ene goligu'enenkura hu'za Babiloni vahera hara eme huozmantegahaze.
18 Imitshoko yawo izabulala izinsizwa; kawayikuba lozwelo ezinganeni loba abe lesihawu ebantwaneni.
Hagi zamagra kevereti nehazaveramina zamahe nefri'za, amima nenesaza mofavre naga'ene, ne'onse mofavre nagara zamasunkura huozmante zamahe vagaregahaze.
19 IBhabhiloni, igugu lemibuso, ubukhazikhazi bokuziqhenya kwamaKhaladiya, lizachithwa nguNkulunkulu njengeSodoma leGomora.
Hagi Babiloni rankumamofo konaririmo'a, knare zantfa huno ruga'a kumatamina agatere'neane. Ana hu'nege'za Kaldia vahe'mo'za ana kumakura tusi muse nehazane. Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a Sodomune Gomora kumatre'ma hu'neaza huno, Babiloni kumara eri haviza hugahie.
20 Akuyikuhlalwa kulo futhi loba kwakhiwe kulo kuzozonke izizukulwane; akulama-Arabhu azamisa amathente awo khona, loba umelusi ozaphumuza imihlambi yakhe khona.
Hagi ana kumapina meninteti'ma agafama huteno'ma nevanigeno, henkama forehu anante anante'ma hu'za mani'za vanaza vahe'mo'za magore hu'za ana kumapina nona kiza nomanisnage'za, anampina Arapu vahe'mo'za seli nonkuma'zamia eme ante'za omanigahaze. Ana nehanage'za sipisipi afu kva vahe'mo'za sipisipi afu'zamia anampina atre'nage'za e'za tra'zana onegahaze.
21 Kodwa izinyamazana zeganga zizahlala khona, amakhanka azahlala ezindlini zakhona lezikhova zizahlala khona, lamagogo aqolotshe khona.
Hianagi anampina afi zagagafamo'zane afi kramo'za nozamifina enemanisnage'za, komutomo'zane Ostretiema nehaza namamo'zanena anampina emanigahaze. Ana nehanage'za anampina afi meme afu tamimo'za takaure takaure hu'za vano hugahaze.
22 Impisi zizakhala ezinqabeni zakhona, amakhanka ezindlini ezinhle zobukhosi. Isikhathi salo sesizafika njalo insuku zalo kaziyikwandiswa.
Hagi Hainema nehaza afi kramo'za vihufi emani'neza krafagea nehanageno, Zekoriema nehaza afi kramoza kini vahe nompina emanine'za krafagea hugahaze. Tamagerfa huno Babiloni kumamo'ma havizama hania knamo'a hago eme kofta nehiankino, zazatera manino ovugahie.
