2 ngizabutha zonke izizwe, ngizehlisele esigodini sikaJehoshafathi, ngizigwebe khona ngenxa yabantu bami lelifa lami uIsrayeli, ezibahlakaze phakathi kwezizwe, zalaba ilizwe lami,

Ana nehu'na mika kokankoka vahetmina Jehosafeti agupofi zamavare atru hu'na, mareri feno zani'agnama hu'naza Israeli vahe'nima zamahe panani'ma hazage'za panani'ma hu'za vahe mopafima umani emanima hazage'za, Nagri mopama refkoma hu'za eri'naza zantera keaga huzmantegahue.

3 zenza inkatho yokuphosa ngabantu bami, zanika umfana ngewule, zathengisa inkazana ngewayini, ukuze zinathe.

Hagi zamagra vahe'nima zamavarenakura satu zokago re'za nege'za, ne' mofavreramina monko a'nere nona hu'za eneriza, mofaneramina waini tinte nona hu'za zami'naze.

4 Yebo-ke, lilani kimi, Tire leSidoni, lani lonke mingcele yeFilisti? Lizangibuyisela umvuzo yini? Uba-ke lingibuyisela, masinyane ngokuphangisa ngizabuyisela umvuzo wenu ekhanda lenu.

Hagi maka Tairi vahe'ma, Saidoni vahe'ma, Filistia mopafima nemaniza vahe'motanena nahigetma e'inahu zantamina hunantaze? Tamagra mago'a zante nona huta nazeri haviza hu'za nehazo? Tamagrama mago'a zante'ma nona hunanteta nazeri havizama hunaku'ma ana'ma nehanazana, Nagra ame hu'na ana zantamina eri rukrahe hu'na, tamagrira tamazeri haviza hugahue.

5 Ngoba lithethe isiliva sami legolide lami, laletha izinto zami eziloyisekayo ezinhle emathempelini enu.

Na'ankure Nagri silvane goline, mareri fenoza ni'araminena tamagra eritma havi anumzantamimofo mono nontamimpi ome ante'naze.

6 Lathengisa abantwana bakoJuda labantwana beJerusalema ebantwaneni bamaGriki, ukuze libasusele khatshana lomngcele wabo.

Hagi Juda vahe'ene Jerusalemi vahe'enena zamavareta Griki vahete zagore zamatrazage'za zamavare'za kumazmia atre'za afete moparega vu'naze.

7 Khangelani, ngizabavusa endaweni elabathengisa kiyo, ngibuyisele umvuzo wenu ekhanda lenu.

Hianagi Nagra anama zagore'ma zamatre'nazaregatira zamavare vagare'na ne-ena nazanoma huzmante'naza zantera, nona hu'na tamagrira ana huramantegahue.

8 Njalo ngizathengisa amadodana enu lamadodakazi enu esandleni sabantwana bakoJuda, abazabathengisa kumaSabeya esizweni esikhatshana; ngoba iNkosi ikhulumile.

Hagi ne'mofavretamine mofa'netaminena zamavare'na zagore Juda vahete atranena, zamagra zamavare'za Sabia kumate vahetega zagore zamatre'nage'za afete'are vugahaze. Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na nehue.

9 Memezelani lokhu phakathi kwezizwe; lingcwelise impi; livuse amaqhawe; kawasondele enyuke wonke amadoda empi.

Hagi ama ana nanekea kokankoka vahera huama hunka zamasamige'za ha'ma hanagura sondia vahezmia retro nehu'za, makamo'za emareri'za erava'o hiho.

10 Khandani amakhuba enu abe yizinkemba, lengqamu zenu zokuthena zibe yimikhonto; obuthakathaka athi: Ngiliqhawe.

Hozama reko'ma neriza ainia rukuta huta bainati kazinkno tro nehuta, zafa azanku'nama romaseta eri hagroma nehaza kazintamia rukuta huta karugru keve tro hiho. Ana nehinkeno hankave'ama omane vahe'mo'a, nagra hankave vahe mani'noe huno hino.

11 Phangisani lize, lina zizwe zonke ezizingelezeleyo, libuthane; Nkosi, yehlisa amaqhawe akho kuleyondawo.

Hagi mika kokankoka vahe'mota ame huta vahe'ma refkoma hu agupofi eme atru hiho. Hagi Ra Anumzamoka sondia vaheka'aramina zamavarenka eramio.

12 Kazizivuse izizwe zenyukele esihotsheni sikaJehoshafathi; ngoba kulapho engizahlala khona ukugweba zonke izizwe inhlangothi zonke.

Hagi mika kokankoka vahe'mo'za zamagra'a zamazerinte trotra hu'za Jehosafati agupofi omeri atru hiho. Na'ankure e'i anante Nagra mani'nena mika kokankoka vahera keaga huzmantegahue.

13 Fakani isikela, ngoba isivuno sivuthiwe; wozani lehlele phansi, ngoba isikhamelo sewayini sigcwele, amafatshi ewayini ayaphuphuma, ngoba ububi babo bukhulu.

Hagi agena fagagi kazinteti apritma hoza hamareho, na'ankure hozamo'a uzate'ne. Hagi eta grepia eme regatati hiho. Na'ankure krepima regatati'ma hu kumara grepimo'a aviteno varehirami'ne. E'i anahu kna huno ama ana vahe'mokizmi kefo avu'ava zamo'a aviteno varehirami'ne.

14 Amaxuku, amaxuku esihotsheni sesinqumo; ngoba usuku lweNkosi luseduze esihotsheni sesinqumo.

Hagi rama'a ohampriga'a vahe kevumo'za keagama eri fatgoma hu agupofina avegante'za mani'naze. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamofo knamo'a, hago erava'o ana agupofina nehie.

15 Ilanga lenyanga kuzakuba mnyama, lezinkanyezi zigodle ukukhanya kwazo.

Hagi zagene ikamo'enena haninkisakeno, ofumo'a remasa osugahie.

16 INkosi izabhonga-ke iseZiyoni, ikhuphe ilizwi layo iseJerusalema, kunyikinyeke amazulu lomhlaba. Kodwa iNkosi ibe yisiphephelo sabantu bayo, lamandla abantwana bakoIsrayeli.

Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Saioni agonaretira kezana netinigeno, Jerusalemi kumapintira agerumo'a monagema hiaza hugahie. Ana hanigeno monane mopanemokea imima eriaza huke momi'momi hugaha'e. Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a Agra'a vahe Israeli vahetera fraki havegazmi manigahie.

17 Ngalokho lizakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi, uNkulunkulu wenu, ohlala eZiyoni, intaba yobungcwele bami. Njalo iJerusalema izakuba yibungcwele, labezizwe kabasayikudlula phakathi kwayo.

E'ina'ma hanugeta tamagrama keta antahitama hanazana, Nagrikura Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamo'a ruotge agonare Saioni mani'ne hugahaze. Hagi Jerusalemi kumamo'a ruotage hanigeno, ru vahe'mo'za mago'enena hara eme huzamagate oregahaze.

18 Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku izintaba zithontise iwayini elimnandi, lamaqaqa ageleze uchago, lazo zonke izifula zakoJuda zigeleze amanzi, lomthombo uphume endlini yeNkosi, uthelele isihotsha seShithimi.

Hagi ana knafina agonaramimpina grepimo'a rama'a hanigeno, haganentake wainimo'a avitegahie. Ana nehanigeno bulimakao afutamimo'za ana agonafina ome rama'a nehanageno, bulimakao amirimo'a avitegahie. Hagi Judia kazigama me'nea tintamimo'ma tane'nea tintamimo'za kampu'i hanati'za evugahaze. Ana nehanigeno Ra Anumzamofo mono nompinti kampu'i tina hanatino Akasia agupofina nevuno, maka zana tina amino vugahie.

19 IGibhithe izakuba lunxiwa, leEdoma ibe yinkangala elunxiwa, ngenxa yodlakela olumelene labantwana bakoJuda, ngoba bachithe igazi elingelacala elizweni labo.

Hianagi Isipi kokamo'a haviza nehanigeno, Idomu kokamo'a hagege koka fore hugahie. Na'ankure zamagra Juda vahera hazenkezami omane vahe zamagri mopafi zamahe'za korazmia eri tagi'naze.

20 Kodwa uJuda uzahlala kuze kube nininini, leJerusalema kuze kube yisizukulwana lesizukulwana.

Hagi Juda mopafina vahera mani vava hu'za nevanageno, vahe'ma forehu anante anante'ma hu'za vanaza vahe'mo'za Jerusalemi kumapina mani vava hu'za vugahaze.

21 Ngoba ngizahlanza igazi labo, engangingalihlanzanga; ngoba iNkosi ihlala eZiyoni.

Hagi zamagri'ma zamahe'za korama eri tagi'naza zante'ma nonama osu'noa zantera, Nagra nona huzamante'na zamahegahue. Na'ankure Nagra Ra Anumzana Saioni nemanua Anumza mani'noe.
