1 Ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi futhi, lisithi:
Shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti,
2 Ndodana yomuntu, profetha uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Qhinqani isililo: Maye ngalolosuku!
“Mwanakomana womunhu, profita uti, ‘Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: “‘Ungudza uti, “Haiwa, zuva iro!”
3 Ngoba usuku luseduze, ngitsho usuku lweNkosi luseduze, usuku olulamayezi; kuzakuba yisikhathi sezizwe.
Nokuti zuva rava pedyo, zuva raJehovha rava pedyo, zuva ramakore, nguva yokuparadzwa kwendudzi.
4 Lenkemba izafika eGibhithe, losizi luzakuba seEthiyophiya, lapho ababuleweyo bezakuwa eGibhithe; ngoba bazasusa ixuku layo, lezisekelo zayo zidilizelwe phansi.
Munondo uchauya pamusoro peIjipiti, uye kurwadziwa kuchauya pamusoro paEtiopia. Vakaurayiwa pavachawa muIjipiti, pfuma yake ichatakurwa ichienda kure uye nheyo dzayo dzichakoromorwa.
5 IEthiyophiya, lePuti, leLudi, labo bonke abantu abahlanganisiweyo, leKhubi, labantwana belizwe lesivumelwano, bazakuwa ngenkemba kanye labo.
Etiopia nePuti, Ridhia neArabhia yose, Ribhiya navanhu venyika yesungano vachaurayiwa nomunondo pamwe chete neIjipiti.
6 Itsho njalo iNkosi: Yebo, abasekela iGibhithe bazakuwa, lokuzigqaja kwamandla ayo kuzakwehla; kusukela eMigidoli kuze kube seSevene bazakuwa kuyo ngenkemba, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
“‘Zvanzi naJehovha: “‘Vanotsigira Ijipiti vachawa uye simba rainozvikudza naro richapera. Kubva kuMigidhori kusvikira kuAswani, vachaurayiwa nomunondo mukati pake, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.
7 Njalo bazachitheka phakathi kwamazwe achithekileyo; lemizi yayo izakuba phakathi kwemizi engamanxiwa.
Vachaparadzwa pakati penyika dzakaparadzwa, uye maguta avo achava pakati pamaguta akaitwa matongo.
8 Khona bezakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi, sengibeke umlilo eGibhithe, lapho bonke abasizi bayo sebephuliwe.
Ipapo vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha, pandichatungidza moto kuIjipiti uye vabatsiri vayo vose vachaparadzwa.
9 Ngalolosuku izithunywa zizaphuma phambi kwami ngemikhumbi ukuyakwethusa amaEthiyophiya onwabileyo, losizi luzakuba phakathi kwabo osukwini lweGibhithe, ngoba, khangela, luyeza.
“‘Pazuva iro, nhume dzichabva kwandiri dziri muzvikepe kuti dzindotyisidzira Etiopia kuti abve pakuvarairwa kwake. Ucharwadziwa pazuva rokuparadzwa kweIjipiti, nokuti zvirokwazvo rinouya.
10 Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Yebo, ngizaqeda ixuku leGibhithe ngesandla sikaNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni.
“‘Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: “‘Ndichagumisa vanhu vose veIjipiti noruoko rwaNebhukadhinezari mambo weBhabhironi.
11 Yena, labantu bakhe kanye laye, abesabekayo bezizwe, bazalethwa ukuzachitha ilizwe; njalo bazahwatsha izinkemba zabo bemelene leGibhithe, bagcwalise ilizwe ngababuleweyo.
Iye nehondo yake, rudzi rwakaipisisa pakati pendudzi, achauyiswa kuti azoparadza nyika. Vachavhomora minondo yavo kuti varwise Ijipiti, uye vachazadza nyika navakaurayiwa.
12 Njalo ngizakwenza imifula itshe, ngithengise ilizwe esandleni sabakhohlakeleyo, ngilichithe ilizwe lokugcwala kwalo ngesandla sabezizwe; mina Nkosi ngikhulumile.
Ndichaomesa hova dzeNairi, uye ndichatengesa nyika kuvanhu vakaipa; namaoko avatorwa ndichaparadza nyika nezvose zviri mairi. Ini Jehovha ndazvitaura.
13 Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ngizabhubhisa lezithombe, ngiqede izifanekiso eNofi; njalo kakusayikuba khona isiphathamandla esivela elizweni leGibhithe; njalo ngizaletha ukwesaba elizweni leGibhithe.
“‘Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: “‘Ndichaparadza zvifananidzo uye ndichagumisa mifananidzo yeMemufisi. MuIjipiti hamuchazovizve nomuchinda, uye ndichaparadzira kutya munyika yose.
14 Ngenze iPatrosi ibe lunxiwa, ngibeke umlilo eZowani, ngenze izahlulelo eNo.
Ndichaita kuti Patirosi ive dongo, ndichapisa Zoani, uye ndicharanga Tebhesi.
15 Ngithulule ulaka lwami phezu kweSini, amandla eGibhithe; ngiqume ixuku leNo.
Ndichadururira hasha dzangu pamusoro pePerusiami, iyo nhare yeIjipiti, uye ndichaparadza vanhu vose veTebhesi.
16 Ngibeke umlilo eGibhithe; iSini izakuba lobuhlungu obukhulu; leNo izadatshulwa phakathi; leNofi izakhathazeka nsuku zonke.
Ndichapisa Ijipiti; Perusiami ichazvonyongoka nokurwadziwa. Tebhesi richakukurwa nedutu; Memufisi ichagara iri munhamo.
17 Amajaha eAvene lePhibhesethi azakuwa ngenkemba, lale imizi izakuya ekuthunjweni.
Majaya okuHerioporisi neokuBhubhastisi achaurayiwa nomunondo, uye maguta achatapwa.
18 Njalo eThahaphanesi imini izakuba mnyama, lapho ngizakwephula khona amajogwe eGibhithe, lokuzikhukhumeza kwamandla ayo kuzaphela kiyo. Yona, iyezi lizayisibekela, lamadodakazi ayo azakuya ekuthunjweni.
Zuva iroro richava rerima paTapanhesi, pandichavhuna joko reIjipiti; kuzvikudza kwesimba raro kuchapera ipapo. Richafukidzwa namakore, uye misha yaro ichatapwa.
19 Ngokunjalo ngizakwenza izahlulelo eGibhithe. Khona bezakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.
Saka ndicharanga Ijipiti, uye vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.’”
20 Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wetshumi lanye, ngenyanga yokuqala, ngolwesikhombisa lwenyanga, ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi, lisithi:
Mugore regumi nerimwe, mumwedzi wokutanga pazuva rechinomwe shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti,
21 Ndodana yomuntu, ngiyephule ingalo kaFaro inkosi yeGibhithe; khangela-ke kayibotshwanga ukuthi kunikwe ukuphola, ukuthi kufakwe uhlaka lokuyibopha, ukuyiqinisela ukubamba inkemba.
“Mwanakomana womunhu, ndavhuna ruoko rwaFaro mambo weIjipiti. Haruna kusungwa kuti rupore kana kuiswa chiseketo kuti ruve nesimba rokubata munondo.
22 Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngimelene loFaro inkosi yeGibhithe, njalo ngizakwephula ingalo zakhe, elamandla, laleyo eyephukileyo, ngenze inkemba iwe esandleni sakhe.
Naizvozvo zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Ndine mhaka naFaro mambo weIjipiti. Ndichavhuna maoko ake ose ari maviri, ruoko rwakanaka norwakavhunika, ndigoita kuti munondo uwe kubva muruoko rwake.
23 Ngihlakazele amaGibhithe phakathi kwezizwe, ngiwasabalalisele emazweni.
Ndichaparadzira vaIjipita pakati pendudzi ndigovadzingira munyika dzose.
24 Ngiqinise ingalo zenkosi yeBhabhiloni, ngibeke inkemba yami esandleni sayo; kodwa ngizakwephula izingalo zikaFaro, abubule phambi kwayo ngokububula kogwaziweyo.
Ndichasimbisa ruoko rwamambo weBhabhironi uye ndichaisa munondo wangu muruoko rwake, asi ndichavhuna maoko aFaro, uye achagomera pamberi pake somunhu akuvadzwa zvokuti achafa.
25 Kodwa ngizaqinisa ingalo zenkosi yeBhabhiloni, lengalo zikaFaro zizawela phansi; njalo bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi, sengifake inkemba yami esandleni senkosi yeBhabhiloni, isiyelule phezu kwelizwe leGibhithe.
Ndichasimbisa maoko amambo weBhabhironi, asi maoko aFaro acharembera pasi. Ipapo vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha, pandichaisa munondo muruoko rwamambo weBhabhironi agouvheyesa kuti arwise Ijipiti.
26 Njalo ngizahlakaza amaGibhithe phakathi kwezizwe, ngiwasabalalisele emazweni. Njalo bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.
Ndichaparadzira vaIjipiti pakati pendudzi ndigovadzingira munyika dzose. Ipapo vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.”
