1 Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kimi, lisithi:
Shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti,
2 Ndodana yomuntu, misa ubuso bakho bumelene labantwana bakoAmoni, uprofethe umelene labo.
“Mwanakomana womunhu, ringira chiso chako pamusoro pavaAmoni uprofite pamusoro pavo.
3 Uthi kubantwana bakoAmoni: Zwanini ilizwi leNkosi uJehova: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ngoba wathi: Aha; ngenxa yendawo yami engcwele, lapho ingcoliswa, langenxa yelizwe lakoIsrayeli, lapho lalichithiwe, langenxa yendlu yakoJuda, lapho baya ekuthunjweni,
Uti kwavari, ‘Inzwai shoko raIshe Jehovha. Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Nokuda kwokuti imi makati, “Toko waro!” pamusoro penzvimbo yangu tsvene panguva yayakasvibiswa napamusoro penyika yeIsraeri payakaparadzwa, napamusoro pavanhu veJudha pavakaenda kuutapwa,
4 ngakho, khangela, ngizakunikela ebantwaneni basempumalanga ube yilifa, ukuthi bamise inkamba zabo phakathi kwakho, benze izindawo zabo zokuhlala phakathi kwakho; bona bazakudla izithelo zakho, bona banathe uchago lwakho.
naizvozvo ndichakuisai kuvanhu vokuMabvazuva kuti muve vavo. Vachadzika misasa yavo uye vachamisa matende avo pakati penyu; vachadya michero yenyu uye vachanwa mukaka wenyu.
5 Njalo ngizakwenza iRaba ibe yisitebele samakamela, labantwana bakoAmoni babe yindawo yokucambalala yemihlambi. Khona lizakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.
Ndichashandura Rabha rikava mafuro engamera uye Amoni kuti ive nzvimbo inozororera makwai. Ipapo muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.
6 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ngoba utshayile isandla, watshaya phansi ngonyawo, wathokoza emphefumulweni ngokudelela kwakho konke umelene lelizwe lakoIsrayeli;
Nokuti zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Nokuda kwokuti makauchira maoko enyu mukadzana-dzana netsoka dzenyu muchifara noruvengo rwose rwemwoyo yenyu rwamunovenga narwo nyika yeIsraeri,
7 ngakho, khangela, ngizakwelulela isandla sami phezu kwakho, ngikunikele ube yimpango kwabezizwe, ngikuqume usuke ebantwini, ngizakwenza ubhubhe emazweni, ngikuchithe. Khona uzakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.
naizvozvo ndichatambanudza ruoko rwangu pamusoro penyu ndigokupai kuti mupambwe nendudzi. Ndichakubvisai chose kubva kundudzi uye ndigokupedzai munyika dzose. Ndichakuparadzai; uye muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.’”
8 Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ngoba oMowabi loSeyiri bathi: Khangela, indlu kaJuda injengezizwe zonke;
“Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: ‘Nokuda kwokuti Moabhu neSeiri vakati, “Tarirai, imba yaJudha yafanana nedzimwe ndudzi,”
9 ngakho khangela, ngizavula uhlangothi lukaMowabi kusukela emizini, kusukela emizini yakhe, kusukela emngceleni wakhe, ubuhle belizwe, iBeti-Jeshimothi, iBhali-Meyoni, leKiriyathayimi;
naizvozvo ndichaisa pachena rutivi rwaMoabhu, kutangira pamavambo maguta okumuganhu anoti Bheti Jeshimoti, Bhaari Meoni neKiriataimi iko kukudzwa kwenyika iyoyo.
10 njalo ngizayinikela emadodaneni empumalanga kube yilifa ngimelene labantwana bakoAmoni, ukuze abantwana bakoAmoni bangakhunjulwa phakathi kwezizwe.
Ndichapa Moabhu pamwe chete navaAmoni kuvanhu vokuMabvazuva kuti vave vavo, kuti vaAmoni varege kuzorangarirwa pakati pendudzi;
11 Ngizakwenza izahlulelo laphakathi kukaMowabi; njalo bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.
uye ndicharanga Moabhu. Ipapo vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.’”
12 Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ngoba uEdoma enze ngokuphindisela impindiselo emelene lendlu kaJuda, wonile ngokona, waziphindisela phezu kwabo;
“Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: ‘Nokuda kwokuti Edhomu akatsiva pamusoro peimba yaJudha vakava nemhosva huru pakuita izvozvo,
13 ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Lami ngizakwelula isandla sami phezu kukaEdoma, ngiqume kuye umuntu lenyamazana, ngimenze incithakalo kusukela eThemani, njalo kuze kufike eDedani bazakuwa ngenkemba.
naizvozvo zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Ndichatambanudza ruoko rwangu pamusoro peEdhomu ndigouraya vanhu vose varo nezvipfuwo zvavo. Ndichariparadza uye kubva kuTemani kusvika kuDhedhani vachaurayiwa nomunondo.
14 Njalo ngizabeka impindiselo yami phezu kukaEdoma ngesandla sabantu bami uIsrayeli, benze kuEdoma njengokwentukuthelo yami lanjengokolaka lwami; khona bezakwazi impindiselo yami, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
Ndichatsiva Edhomu noruoko rwavanhu vangu, uye vachaitira Edhomu zvakafanira kutsamwa kwangu nehasha dzangu; vachaziva kutsiva kwangu, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.’”
15 Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ngoba amaFilisti enze ngempindiselo, aphindisela impindiselo ngokudelela emphefumulweni, ukuthi achithe ngenzondo yaphakade;
“Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: ‘Nokuda kwokuti vaFiristia vakazvitsivira vakatsiva noruvengo mumwoyo yavo, uye noruvengo rwamakore namakore vakatsvaka kuparadza Judha,
16 ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngizakwelulela isandla sami phezu kwamaFilisti, ngiqume amaKerethi, ngibhubhise insali yokhumbi lolwandle.
naizvozvo zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Ndava pedyo nokutambanudza ruoko rwangu pamusoro pavaFiristia, uye ndichauraya vaKereti ndigoparadza vaya vakasara pamhenderekedzo.
17 Ngenze izimpindiselo ezinkulu phezu kwabo ngokukhuza kwentukuthelo; khona bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi, lapho ngibeka impindiselo yami phezu kwabo.
Ndichatsiva nokutsiva kukuru pamusoro pavo uye ndichavaranga muhasha dzangu. Ipapo vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha, pandichatsiva pamusoro pavo.’”
