UJeremiya 47
1 Leli yilizwi likaThixo elafika kuJeremiya umphrofethi mayelana lamaFilistiya ngesikhathi uFaro engakahlaseli iGaza:
Hagi Fero'a Gaza kumara hara eme huonte'negeno, Filistia vahete'ma fore hania zankura Ra Anumzamo'a kasnampa ne' Jeremaiana amanage huno asami'ne.
2 UThixo uthi: “Khangela ukuphakama kwamanzi enyakatho; azakuba ngumfula okhukhulayo. Azakhukhula ilizwe lakho konke okukulo, amadolobho lalabo abahlala kuwo. Abantu bazakhala, bonke abahlala elizweni bazalila
Ra Anumzamo'a huno, antahiho, noti kazigatira mago ranti hageno ne-eankino mopa eme refi'neteno, maka'zanena refitegahie. Ana nehuno rankuma'ene ana kumapima nemaniza vahe'enena zamahe refi'netesige'za, vahe'mo'za tusiza hu'za kezatigahaze. Ana nehanage'za ana mopafima nemaniza vahe'mo'za tusi zavi krafa hugahaze.
3 ekuzweni umsindo wamasondo amabhiza agijimayo, lekuzweni umsindo wezinqola zesitha lomdumo wamasondo azo. Oyise kabayikuphenduka ukuba basize abantwababo; izandla zabo zizalenga zingelamandla.
Hagi hosi afutamimo'za zamagare'za ne-esageno, zamagiafintira vagri vagri nehina, karisiramima ne-esigeno agafinti'ma agasasama rania zama vene'nemo'zama antahisu'za, mofavre naga'zamia rukrahera hu'za ozamage fregahaze. Na'ankure zamazamo'a stino zuzufrinige'za anara hugahaze.
4 Ngoba usuku selufikile ukuba abhujiswe wonke amaFilistiya, lokuqeda bonke abasilayo abangasiza iThire leSidoni. Sekuseduze ukuba uThixo abhubhise amaFilistiya, insalela emakhunjini eKhafithori.
Hagi Filistia vahe'ma knazamo'ma eme zamazeri havizama hania knamo'a hago meni efore hu'ne. Ana hu'neanki'za Tairi vahe'ene Saidoni vahera zamaza osugahaze. Na'ankure hageri amu'nompima Kriti kumateti'ma Filistia vahe'ma osi'ama emani'naza vahera, Ra Anumzamo'a knaza zamino zamazeri haviza nehie.
5 IGaza izaphuca ikhanda layo ilila; i-Ashikheloni izathuliswa. Lina nsalela esemagcekeni, lizazisika kuze kube nini na?
Gaza kumapi vahe'mo'za zamasunku nehu'za zamaseni zamazoka nehare'nageno, Askeloni kumapintira mago zamofo agasasa omanetfa hugahie. Hagi agupo kokampima osi'ama maniza vahe'mota, tamavufgama taga nehazageno korama nehia zana ina zupa atregahaze?
6 Likhala lisithi, ‘Maye, nkemba kaThixo, koba nini ukuze uphumule? Buyela emgodleni wakho; khawuka ungathi nyiki.’
Hagi Ra Anumzamofo bainati kazimoka vahe'ma zamazeri havizama nehana zana nazupa atrenka amnea manigahane huta tamagra kezatiho. Kagra bainati kazimoka kuka'afi ufrenka, akohenka umanio.
7 Kodwa ingaphumula njani yona ilaywe nguThixo, ithunywe nguye ukuba ihlasele i-Ashikheloni lamakhumbi olwandle na?”
Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'ma bainati kazimofoma hunteno, Askeloni rankuma'ene hagerimofo ankenaregama nemaniza vahe'enema ha' ome huzamanto huno huntesigeno eno, eri'zama eme e'nerisuno'a, inankna huno mani frua hugahie?
