1 Raajii dubbii Waaqayyoo kan karaa Miilkiyaasiin gara Israaʼel dhufe.
Umthwalo welizwi leNkosi kuIsrayeli ngesandla sikaMalaki.
2 “Ani isin jaalladheera” jedha Waaqayyo. “Isin immoo, ‘Ati akkamitti nu jaallatte?’ jettanii gaafattu. “Esaawu obboleessa Yaaqoob hin turree?” jedha Waaqayyo. “Taʼus ani Yaaqoobin jaalladhee,
Ngilithandile, itsho iNkosi. Kodwa lithi: Usithande ngani? UEsawu kasuye yini umfowabo kaJakobe? itsho iNkosi. Kanti ngamthanda uJakobe,
3 Esaawun garuu jibbeera; ani tulluuwwan isaa lafa onaa godhee dhaala isaas waangoo gammoojjiitiif kenneera.”
loEsawu ngamzonda; ngenza izintaba zakhe incithakalo, lelifa lakhe laba ngelamakhanka enkangala.
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.
Lanxa uEdoma esithi: Senziwe abayanga, kodwa sizabuyela siyekwakha amanxiwa; itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Bona bangakha, kodwa mina ngizadiliza, njalo bazababiza ngokuthi: Ngumngcele wobubi, labantu iNkosi ebathukutheleleyo kuze kube phakade.
5 Isin waan kana ija keessaniin argitanii, ‘Daarii biyya Israaʼeliin gamatti iyyuu Waaqayyo Guddaa dha!’ jettu.
Lamehlo enu azabona, lani lithi: INkosi izakhuliswa kusukela ngaphetsheya komngcele wakoIsrayeli.
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 iyamhlonipha uyise, lenceku inkosi yayo. Uba-ke nginguyihlo, kungaphi ukuhlonitshwa kwami? Uba-ke ngiyiNkosi, kungaphi ukwesatshwa kwami? itsho iNkosi yamabandla kini, bapristi elidelela ibizo lami; kodwa lithi: Silidelele 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.
Lisondeza isinkwa esingcolileyo phezu kwelathi lami, lisithi: Sikungcolise ngani? Ngokuthi kwenu: Itafula leNkosi liyadeleleka.
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.
Njalo nxa lisondeza okuyisiphofu kube ngumhlatshelo, kakukubi yini? Lalapho lisondeza okuqhulayo lokugulayo, kakukubi yini? Ake ukusondeze kumbusi wakho; angathokoza ngawe yini, kumbe angabemukela yini ubuso bakho? itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
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.
Khathesi-ke ake lincenge ubuso bukaNkulunkulu ukuze abe lomusa kithi; lokhu kube ngesandla senu; uzabemukela ubuso benu yini? itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
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.
Ngubani okhona ngitsho phakathi kwenu ongavala izivalo? Njalo lingabaseli ize umlilo phezu kwelathi lami. Kangithokozi ngani, kutsho iNkosi yamabandla, njalo kangiyikwemukela umnikelo esandleni senu ngentokozo.
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.
Ngoba kusukela ekuphumeni kwelanga kuze kube sekutshoneni kwalo, ibizo lami lizakuba likhulu phakathi kwezizwe; lakuyo yonke indawo impepha izatshiselwa ibizo lami, lomnikelo ohlambulukileyo; ngoba ibizo lami lizakuba likhulu phakathi kwezizwe, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
12 “Isin garuu maaddiin Gooftaa ‘xuraaʼaa dha’ nyaanni isaas ‘tuffatamaa dha’ jechuudhaan maqaa koo xureessitu.
Kodwa liyalingcolisa ngokuthi kwenu: Itafula leNkosi lingcolisiwe; lesithelo salo, ukudla kwalo, kudelelekile.
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 lithi: Khangela, ukudinisa okungakanani! Njalo likuchilela amakhala, itsho iNkosi yamabandla; njalo lilethe impango, lokuqhulayo, lokugulayo; ngokunjalo lilethe umnikelo. Ngikwemukele lokhu yini ngokuthokoza esandleni senu? itsho iNkosi.
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.
Kaqalekiswe-ke umkhohlisi oleduna emhlanjini wakhe, ofunga ahlabele iNkosi okonakeleyo; ngoba ngiyiNkosi enkulu, itsho iNkosi yamabandla, lebizo lami liyesabeka phakathi kwezizwe.
