Zulu - Obadiah

Obadiya ISAHLUKO 1 1 Umbono ka-Obadiya. Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova ngo-Edomi; Sizwile umbiko ovela kuJehova, kuthunywe inxusa phakathi kwezizwe ukuthi: 'Sukumani, simvukele ukulwa.'

2 Bheka, ngikwenze waba mncane phakathi kwezizwe, udelelekile kakhulu.

3 Ukuzidla kwenhliziyo yakho kukukhohlisile, wena ohlala emifantwini yedwala, okhaya lakho liphakeme; othi enhliziyweni yakhe: “Ngubani oyakungehlisela phansi na?

4 Noma uziphakamisa njengokhozi, noma ubeka isidleke sakho phakathi kwezinkanyezi, ngiyakukwehlisela khona,” usho uJehova.

5 Uma amasela efika kuwe, uma abaphangi ebusuku (yeka ukuchithwa kwakho!) bebengayikweba baze basuthe na? uma abavuni besivini befika kuwe, bebengayikushiya izithelo zomvini na?

6 Yeka ukuthi zihlolisiswa kanjani izinto zika-Esawu! zifunwa kanjani izinto zakhe ezifihliweyo!

7 Bonke abantu besivumelwano sakho sebekufikisile emngceleni; abadla isinkwa sakho babeka inxeba phansi kwakho, akukho ukuqonda kuye.

8 “Ngalolo suku,” usho uJehova, “ngingayikubhubhisa abahlakaniphileyo kwa-Edomi, nabanokuqonda ezintabeni zakwa-Esawu na?

9 Amaqhawe akho, Themani, ayakushaywa luvalo, ukuze bonke ezintabeni zakwa-Esawu babulawe ngokubulawa.

10 Ngenxa yobudlova bakho kumfowenu uJakobe, ihlazo liyakukusibekela, unqunywe kuze kube phakade.

11 Ngosuku owama ngalo ngaphesheya, ngosuku abafokazi abathumba ngalo amabutho akhe, nabafokazi bengena emasangweni akhe, benza inkatho ngeJerusalema, nawe wawunjengomunye wabo.

12 Kodwa ubungafanele ubheke usuku lomfowenu mhla engowemzini; futhi ubungafanele ujabule ngabantwana bakwaJuda ngosuku lokuchithwa kwabo; ubungakhuluma ngokuzidla ngosuku losizi.

13 Bekungafanele ungene esangweni labantu bami ngosuku lwenhlekelele yabo; yebo, ubungafanele ukubheka ukuhlupheka kwabo ngosuku lwenhlekelele yabo, noma ubeke isandla empahleni yabo ngosuku lwenhlekelele yabo; 14 Futhi ubungami ezimpambanweni zomgwaqo, ukuze unqume abaphunyukayo bakhe; futhi ubungafanele unikele abaseleyo bakhe ngosuku losizi.

15 Ngokuba usuku lukaJehova luseduze phezu kwezizwe zonke; njengalokho okwenzileyo kuyakwenziwa kuwena; umvuzo wakho uyakubuyela phezu kwekhanda lakho.

16 Ngokuba njengalokho niphuzile entabeni yami engcwele, kanjalo izizwe zonke ziyakuphuza njalo, ziphuze, zigwinye, zibe njengokungathi azizange zibe khona.

17 Kepha entabeni yaseSiyoni kuyakuba khona ukusindiswa, kube khona ubungcwele; indlu kaJakobe iyakudla ifa layo.

18 Indlu kaJakobe iyakuba ngumlilo, nendlu kaJosefa ibe yilangabi, nendlu ka-Esawu ibe ngamabibi; akuyikubakho noyedwa owasala endlini ka-Esawu; ngoba uJehova ukukhulumile.

19 Abaseningizimu bayakudla ifa lentaba yakwa-Esawu; badle ifa lezwe lakwa-Efrayimi nelaseSamariya, uBenjamini adle ifa lakwaGileyadi.

20 Abathunjwa baleli butho labantwana bakwa-Israyeli bayakudla ifa lamaKhanani kuze kube seSarefati; abathunjwa baseJerusalema abaseSefaradi bayakudla ifa lemizi yaseningizimu.

21 Abasindisi bayakukhuphukela entabeni yaseSiyoni ukwahlulela intaba yakwa-Esawu; futhi umbuso uyakuba ngokaJehova.
