“Ngilithandile,” kutsho uThixo. “Kodwa liyabuza lithi, ‘Usithande njani?’” UThixo uthi, “U-Esawu wayengasimfowabo kaJakhobe na? Yebo uJakhobe ngimthandile,
3 Esaawun garuu jibbeera; ani tulluuwwan isaa lafa onaa godhee dhaala isaas waangoo gammoojjiitiif kenneera.”
kodwa u-Esawu ngimzondile, futhi ngenze izintaba zakhe zaba lugwadule lelifa lakhe ladliwa ngamakhanka asenkangala.”
4 Edoomiyaas, “Nu caccabnu iyyuu, diigama sana deebisnee ni ijaarra” jedha taʼa. Garuu Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Isaan ni ijaaru taʼa; ani garuu nan diiga. Isaan Biyya Hamaa, saba yeroo hunda dheekkamsa Waaqayyoo jala jiraatu jedhamanii ni waamamu.
U-Edomi angathi, “Kungaze kube sinyathezelwe phansi kodwa sizawavuselela amanxiwa.” Kodwa nanku okutshiwo nguThixo uSomandla, uthi: “Bangakha, kodwa ngizadiliza. Bazakuthiwa Yilizwe Elibi, abantu abazahlala bethukuthelelwe nguThixo.
5 Isin waan kana ija keessaniin argitanii, ‘Daarii biyya Israaʼeliin gamatti iyyuu Waaqayyo Guddaa dha!’ jettu.
Lizakubona ngawenu amehlo lithi, ‘Umkhulu uThixo, angale kwemingcele yako-Israyeli!’”
6 “Ilmi abbaa isaa, garbichis gooftaa isaa ulfeessa. Egaa ergan abbaa taʼe, ulfinni naaf malu meerre ree? Ergan gooftaa taʼe, kabajni naaf malu meerree ree?” jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu. “Yaa luboota; isintu maqaa koo tuffata. “Isin garuu, ‘Nu akkamiin maqaa kee tuffanne?’ jettanii gaafattu.
“Indodana iyamesaba uyise, lenceku iyayesaba inkosi yayo. Aluba nginguyihlo kungaphi pho ukwesatshwa kwami? Aluba ngiyinkosi kungaphi ukuhlonitshwa kwami na?” kutsho uThixo uSomandla. “Yini, hawu baphristi, eleyisa ibizo lami. Kodwa lingabuza lithi, ‘Sileyise ngani ibizo lakho?’
7 “Isin nyaata xuraaʼaa iddoo aarsaa koo irratti dhiʼeessitu. “Isin garuu, ‘Nu akkamiin si xureessine’ jettanii gaafattu. “Maaddiin Waaqayyoo tuffatamaa dha jechuudhaan.
Libeka ukudla okungcolileyo e-alithareni lami. Kodwa lingabuza lithi, ‘Sikungcolise kanjani wena na?’ Ngokuthi itafula likaThixo liyeyiseka.
8 Isin yoo horii jaamaa aarsaadhaaf dhiʼeessitan, sun balleessaa mitii? Isin yoo horii naafa yookaan horii dhukkubsataa naaf qaltan, sun balleessaa mitii? Mee horii sana bulchaa keessaniif kennuu yaalaa! Inni isinitti ni gammadaa? Inni isin harkaa ni fudhataa?” jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.
Nxa liletha izifuyo eziyiziphofu ukuba ngumhlatshelo, kambe kakukubi lokho na? Nxa lisenza umhlatshelo ngezifuyo eziyizilima loba ezilezifo, kakukubi lokho na? Ake lizame ukukunika umbusi wenu! Angalithabela lina na? Angalithanda kambe lina yini?” kutsho uThixo uSomandla.
9 “Egaa mee akka inni garaa nuu laafuuf Waaqa nuuf kadhadhaa. Isin yoo aarsaa akkasii qabattanii dhiʼaattan inni isin harkaa ni fudhataa?” jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda dandaʼu.
“Ngakho-ke ncengani uNkulunkulu ukuthi abe lobubele kithi. Ngeminikelo enjalo ephuma ezandleni zenu, kambe angalamukela?” kutsho uThixo uSomandla.
10 “Isin keessaa namni tokko akka isin ibidda faayidaa hin qabne iddoo aarsaa koo irratti hin bobeessineef utuu balbala mana qulqullummaa cufee jiraatee! Ani isinitti hin gammadu; aarsaa tokko iyyuu isin harkaa hin fudhu” jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.
“Oh, sekuze kungathi omunye wenu angavala iminyango yethempeli ukuze lingabi lilokhu libasa imililo engelamsebenzi e-alithareni lami! Kangithokozi ngani lina,” kutsho uThixo uSomandla, “njalo kangiyikwamukela umnikelo wezandla zenu.
11 “Maqaan koo baʼa aduutii kaasee hamma lixa aduutti saboota gidduutti guddaa ni taʼa. Iddoo hundatti ixaannii fi aarsaan qulqulluun ni kennama; maqaan koo saboota gidduutti guddaa ni taʼaatii” jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.
Ibizo lami lizaba likhulu phakathi kwezizwe, kusukela ekuphumeni kwelanga kusiya ekutshoneni kwalo. Ezindaweni zonke impepha leminikelo ehlanzekileyo izalethwa ebizweni lami, ngoba ibizo lami lizakuba likhulu phakathi kwezizwe,” kutsho uThixo uSomandla.
12 “Isin garuu maaddiin Gooftaa ‘xuraaʼaa dha’ nyaanni isaas ‘tuffatamaa dha’ jechuudhaan maqaa koo xureessitu.
“Kodwa liyalingcolisa ngoba lithi, ‘Itafula kaThixo ingcolisiwe,’ lokudla okukulo, ‘Kuyadeleleka.’
13 ‘Kun dadhabbii dha!’ jettaniis tuffiidhaan itti cirriiqfattu” jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu. “Isin yoo horii hatame, kan naafate yookaan kan dhukkuba qabu fiddanii aarsaa gootanii dhiʼeessitan, ani isin harkaa fudhachuutu narra jiraa?” jedha Waaqayyo.
Njalo lichila amakhala ngokweyisa lithi, ‘Kuyasidina thina lokhu!’” Kutsho uThixo uSomandla. “Nxa liletha izifuyo ezilimeleyo kumbe ezigulayo lizozinikela zibe yimihlatshelo, lithi ngizemukele yini ezandleni zenu?” uyabuza uThixo.
14 “Namni bushaayee isaa keessaa korbeessa jaallatamaa qabu kan korbeessa sana aarsaa dhiʼeessuuf wareega kennee garuu sobee horii hirʼina qabu Gooftaadhaaf dhiʼeessu abaaramaa haa taʼu. Ani mootii guddaadhaatii, maqaan koo saboota gidduutti sodaatamuu qaba” jedha Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu.
“Uqalekisiwe umkhohlisi olenqama enhle emhlambini wakhe, athembise ukunikela ngayo, kodwa abesenikela ngesifuyo esilesici kuThixo. Ngoba ngiyinkosi enkulu,” kutsho uThixo uSomandla, “njalo ibizo lami kufanele lesatshwe phakathi kwezizwe.”
