2:10 Ke mna ndaninyusa ezweni laseYiputa, ndanikhokela entlango iminyaka emashumi mane, ukuze nilihluthe ilizwe lomAmori.
2:11 Ndavelisa koonyana benu abokuba ngabaprofeti, nakumadodana enu abokuba ngabazahlulileyo. Hi, akunjalo na, nyana bakaSirayeli? utsho uYehova.
2:12 Ke nisuke nabaseza iwayini abazahlulileyo; abaprofeti nabawisela umthetho wokuthi, Ize ningaprofeti.
2:13 Yabonani, ndiya kunixinzelela phantsi, njengokuba ixinzelelwa phantsi inqwelo ezele zizithungu.
2:14 Wokhohlwa kukusaba onamendu, owomeleleyo angawaqinisi amandla akhe, igorha lingabusindisi ubomi balo.
2:15 Nophethe isaphetha akayi kumisa, nonyawo zinamendu angazisindisi, nokhwele ehasheni angabusindisi ubomi bakhe;
2:16 nontliziyo ikhaliphileyo phakathi kwamagorha asabe eze ngaloo mini; utsho uYehova.
3:1 Liveni eli lizwi alithethileyo uYehova ngani, nyana bakaSirayeli, ngayo yonke imizalwane endayinyusayo ezweni laseYiputa, lisithi,
3:2 Ndaze nina nedwa emizalwaneni yonke yehlabathi; ngenxa yoko ndiya kubuvelela kuni ubugwenxa benu bonke.
3:3 Bakha bahambe ndawonye na ababini, bengavani?
3:4 Ikha ibharhule na ingonyama ehlathini, ingenanto iyiqwengayo? Ingonyama entsha ikha igqume na emqolombeni wayo, ingabambanga nto?
3:5 Ikha yeyele na intaka esibatheni emhlabeni, kungekho sango liyithiyeleyo? Wojuba na umgibe emhlabeni, ungabambisanga nokubambisa?
3:6 Khona khe sivuthelwe na isigodlo phakathi komzi, bangothuki abantu? Khe bubekho na ububi phakathi komzi, engabenzanga uYehova?
3:7 Inene, ayikhe yenze into iNkosi uYehova, ingathanga iluhlakaze ucweyo lwayo kubakhonzi bayo abaprofeti.
3:8 Ingonyama ibharhule, ngubani na ongoyikiyo? INkosi uYehova ithethile, ngubani na ongayi kuprofeta.
3:9 Memezani ezingxandeni ezinde zaseAshdode, nasezingxandeni ezinde zezwe laseYiputa, nithi, Hlanganisani ezintabeni zelakwaSamari, nibone isaqunge esikhulu esiphakathi kwalo, nabacudisiweyo abasesazulwini salo.
3:10 Kuba abakwazi ukwenza okuthe gca, utsho uYehova, abo bafumba ugonyamelo nobhuqo ezingxandeni zabo ezinde.
3:11 Ngako oko itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Umbandezeli uya kuba ngeenxa zonke elizweni; uya kuwathoba amandla akho kuwe, ziphangwe iingxande zakho ezinde.
3:12 Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Njengokuba umalusi ehlangula emlonyeni wengonyama ooxhongo ababini, nokuba sisiqwenga sendlebe, baya kwenjiwa njalo ukuhlangulwa oonyana bakaSirayeli, abahlala kwaSamari phezu kwephundu lesingqengqelo, naphezu kweengubo zomandlalo eziluhlobo lweDamasko.
3:13 Yivani, ningqine kwindlu kaYakobi; itsho iNkosi uYehova, uThixo wemikhosi.
3:14 Kuba, mini ndiya kuzivelela izikreqo zendlu kaSirayeli phezu kwayo, ndiya kuzivelela ezibingelelweni zaseBheteli, zixakaxwe iimpondo zesibingelelo, ziwe emhlabeni.
3:15 Ndoyichitha indlu yasebusika, kunye nendlu yasehlotyeni, zitshabalale izindlu zeempondo zeendlovu, ziphele izindlu ezininzi; utsho uYehova.
4:1 Liveni eli lizwi, nina zimazi zaseBhashan, zisezintabeni zakwaSamari, zizicudisayo izisweli, ziwavikivayo amahlwempu, zithi ezinkosini zazo, Zisani sisele.
4:2 INkosi uYehova ifunge ubungcwele bayo, yathi, Yabonani, nizelwa yimihla eniya kuqweqwediswa ngamagwegwe, nabokugqibela kuni ngamaqerhu okubambisa iintlanzi.
4:3 Niya kuphuma ngamathuba okuqhekezwa kodonga, elowo aphume ngelilunge naye, niye kuphoswa eHarmon; utsho uYehova.
4:4 Yiyani eBheteli nikreqe; yiyani eGiligali, nandise ukukreqa; nizise imibingelelo yenu imiso ngemiso, nezishumi zenu kanye ngemihla emithathu;
4:5 niqhumisele umbingelelo wemibulelo ngento enegwele, nimemeze imibingelelo yokuqhutywa yintliziyo; memezani, kuba nithanda njalo, nyana bakaSirayeli; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
4:6 Kananjalo mna ndininike ubumsulwa bamazinyo emizini yenu yonke, nokusweleka kwesonka ezindaweni zenu zonke; anibuyanga nize kum noko; utsho uYehova.
4:7 Kananjalo mna ndayithintela imvula kuni, zisentathu iinyanga zokuba kuvunwe; ndayinisa komnye umzi, andayinisa komnye; esinye isahlulo somhlaba sanelwa yimvula, esinye isahlulo esinganelwanga satsha;
4:8 imizi emibini, emithathu, ibhadulele kumzi omnye, ukuze isele amanzi ingakholwa; anabuya nize kum noko; utsho uYehova.
4:9 Ndanibetha ngembabala nangexoshomba; imiyezo yenu nezidiliya zenu, nemikhiwane yenu, neminquma yenu emininzi, yadliwa yinkumbi enqunquthayo; anabuya nize kum noko utsho uYehova.
4:10 Ndathumela phakathi kwenu indyikitya yokufa, ngokuya kwaseYiputa, ndawabulala ngekrele amadodana enu, kwanamahashe enu angamaxhoba, ndanyusa ukunuka kweminquba yenu, kweza ezimpumlweni zenu; anabuya nize kum noko; utsho uYehova.
4:11 Ndibabhukuqile abanye benu, njengoko wabhukuqa ngako uThixo iSodom neGomora, naba njengesikhuni esinyothulwe emlilweni; anabuya nize kum noko; utsho uYehova.
4:12 Ngako oko ndiya kwenjenje kuwe, Sirayeli; ngokokuba ndiya kwenjenje ke kuwe, zilungiselele ukuhlangabeza uThixo wakho, Sirayeli.
4:13 Ngokuba, yabona, uloyila iintaba, ulodala umoya, uloxelela umntu into okuyiyo ukuthelekelela kwakhe, ulowenza mnyama isifingo, ulonyathela phezu kwemimango yehlabathi: nguYehova uThixo wemikhosi, igama lakhe.
5:1 Liveni eli lizwi ndiliphakamisayo ngani, esi simbonono, ndlu kaSirayeli.
5:2 Iwile, ayisayi kubuya ivuke intombi enguSirayeli; ikhahleleke emhlabeni, akukho uyiphakamisayo,
5:3 Ngokuba itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Umzi ophuma unewaka, uya kusala nekhulu; ophuma unekhulu, uya kusala neshumi kwindlu kaSirayeli.
5:4 Ngokuba utsho uYehova kwindlu kaSirayeli, ukuthi, Quqelani kum, niphile;
5:5 musani ukuquqela eBheteli, ningangeni eGiligali, ningaweleli niye eBher-shebha; kuba iGiligali, inene, iya kuthinjwa, neBheteli ibe yinto engeyakonto.
5:6 Quqelani kuYehova, naniya kuphila; hleze ayifikele indlu kaYosefu njengomlilo, utshise, kungabikho uwucimela iBheteli,
5:7 nina abo bajika okusesikweni kube ngumhlonyane, babukhahlele phantsi ubulungisa emhlabeni.
5:8 Quqelani kulowenza isiLimela namaKroza, uloguqula ithunzi lokufa libe ngumso, imini ayenze mnyama, ibe bubusuku; ulobiza amanzi olwandle, awathululele phezu komhlaba: nguYehova igama lakhe.
5:9 Ngulotshangazisa imbuqo phezu koliqele, imbuqo iyifikele inqaba.
5:10 Bayamthiya owohlwayayo esangweni, bamenze isikizi othetha okugqibeleleyo.
5:11 Ngako oko, ngenxa yokusigqusha kwenu isisweli, nithabathe kuso unikelo lwengqolowa, niya kwakha izindlu ngamatye aqingqiweyo, ningahlali kuzo; nityale izidiliya ezinqwenelekayo, ningaseli wayini yazo.
5:12 Kuba ndiyazazi izikreqo zenu ukuba zininzi kwazo, nezono zenu ukuba zikhulu kwazo; nibandezela ilungisa, nisamkele isicengo, nisijike isigwebo samahlwempu esangweni.
5:13 Ngako oko, onengqiqo uthe cwaka ngeli xesha; kuba lixesha elibi eli.
5:14 Funani okulungileyo, ningafuni okubi, ukuze niphile; aze uYehova, uThixo wemikhosi, abe nani, njengoko nitshoyo.
5:15 Thiyani okubi, nithande okulungileyo, nimise okusesikweni esangweni; mhlawumbi uYehova, uThixo wemikhosi, wowababala amasalela kaYosefu.
5:16 Ngako oko utsho uYehova, uThixo wemikhosi, iNkosi, ukuthi, Ezindaweni zonke zembutho kukumbambazela; ezitratweni zonke bathi, Yoo! yoo! Babizela umlimi esijwilini, babizela abasaziyo isimema, bathi, Mbambazelani.
5:17 Ezidiliyeni zonke kukumbambazela, ngokuba ndicanda esazulwini sakho; utsho uYehova.
5:18 Yeba ke, nina banqwenela imini kaYehova! Iyintoni na imini kaYehova kuni? Ibubumnyama, ayikukukhanya.
5:19 Injengokuthi umntu abaleke engonyameni, aqubisane nebhere; angene endlwini, abambelele ngesandla eludongeni, inyoka imlume.
5:20 Ayiyi kuba bubumnyama yini na imini kaYehova, ingabi kukukhanya? Ayiyi kuba sisithokothoko, yini na, ingabi nabumhlophe?
5:21 Ndiyithiyile, ndiyayicekisa imithendeleko yenu; andilisezeli ivumba lengqungquthela.
5:22 Ngokuba, xa nithe nandinyusela amadini anyukayo, neminikelo yenu yokudla, akakholeki kum; nombingelelo wenu woxolo wamathole atyetyisiweyo andiwubheki.
5:23 Yisuse kum ingxokozelo yeengoma zakho, nokubetha kwemirhubhe yakho andikuphulaphuli.
5:24 Makugaleleke umgwebo njengamanzi, nobulungisa njengomlambo ongatshiyo.
5:25 Imibingelelo neminikelo yokudla naniyizisa kum yini na entlango, iminyaka emashumi mane, ndlu kaSirayeli?
5:26 Nasuka nathwala umnquba wokumkani wenu, noseko lwemifanekiso yenu, inkwenkwezi yoothixo benu, enazenzelayo.
5:27 Ndiya kuni fudusela kude ke ngaphaya kweDamasko; utsho uYehova; nguThixo wemikhosi igama lakhe.
6:1 Yeha ke abatyeshileyo eZiyon, nabakholose ngentaba yakwaSamari; abadumileyo ngamagama kwintlahlela yeentlanga, eza kubo indlu kaSirayeli!
6:2 Welelani eKalene, nibone; nisuke khona niye eHamati enkulu, nihle niye eGati yamaFilisti; ukuba ilungile na loo mizi kunezikumkani; ukuba mikhulu na imida yayo kunemida yenu.
6:3 Nina, baba imini yokubi ikude, basondeza isihlalo sogonyamelo;
6:4 nina, balele ezingqengqelweni zeempondo zeendlovu, banabe emandlalweni yabo, badle amatakane emhlambini, namathole asesitalini;
6:5 nina, baphololoza kukubetha umrhubhe, bazicingela ukwenza izinto zokuvuma njengoDavide;
6:6 nina, baseli bewayini ngezitya zokutshiza zemibingelelo, bazithambise ngentlahlela yeoli, bangahlabeki kukwaphuka kukaYosefu.
6:7 Ngako oko baya kuthinjwa bemke ngoku, kwasentloko kubathinjwa, iphele ingxobotshane yabanabileyo.
6:8 INkosi uYehova izifungile, utsho uYehova, uThixo wemikhosi; yathi, Lisikizi kum iqhayiya likaYakobi, ndizithiyile iingxande zakhe ezinde; ngako oko ndowunikela umzi nenzaliseko yawo.
6:9 Kuya kuthi, ukuba kuthe kwasala amadoda alishumi ndlwini-nye, afe.
6:10 Umntu wophakanyiswa nguyisekazi, umngcwabi wakhe, ukuba awakhuphe amathambo akhe endlwini, athi kosentla endlwini, Kusekho na okuwe? athi lowo, Akusekho nto; wothi yena, Thwize; ngokuba alingekhankanywa igama likaYehova.
6:11 Ngokuba, uyabona, uYehova uwisa umthetho, bayibethe indlu enkulu ibe ngamavithi, nendlu encinane ibe ziintanda.
6:12 Amahashe ayabaleka na phezu kweengxondorha? bayalima na khona ngeenkomo? ukuba nikujike nje okusesikweni kube bubuhlungu, nesiqhamo sobulungisa sibe ngumhlonyane;
6:13 nina bavuyela okungelutho; bathi, Sizenzela iimpondo ngawethu amandla.
6:14 Ke yabonani, ndinivusela uhlanga, ndlu kaSirayeli; utsho uYehova, uThixo wemikhosi; luya kunixina, luthabathele ekuyiweni eHamati, luse esihlanjeni seArabha.
7:1 Yenjenje ukundibonisa iNkosi uYehova: Yabona, idala imiqikela yeenkumbi ekuqalekeni kokuhluma kwesihlabane sotyani; naso isihlabane eso, emva kokusikelwa kokumkani ingca.
7:2 Kwathi, yakugqiba ukuyidla imifuno yelizwe, ndathi mna, Nkosi Yehova, khawuxolele; wothini na uYakobi ukuma? kuba mncinane yena.
7:3 Wazohlwaya uYehova ngenxa yoko: Oko akuyi kubakho; watsho uYehova.
7:4 Yenjenje ukundibonisa iNkosi uYehova: Nantso iNkosi uYehova ibiza umlilo, ukuba yohlwaye ngawo; wawagqiba amanzi amaninzi enzonzobila, wasitshisa isahlulo sehlabathi.
7:5 Ndathi, Nkosi Yehova, khawuyeke; wothini na uYakobi ukuma? kuba mncinane yena.
7:6 Wazohlwaya uYehova ngenxa yoko: Nako oko akuyi kubakho; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
7:7 Yenjenje ukundibonisa: Nantso iNkosi imi eludongeni olumpuluswa, iphethe ngesandla ilothe yokulungelelanisa.
7:8 UYehova wathi kum, Ubona ntoni na, Amosi? Ndathi, Ilothe yokulungelelanisa. Yathi iNkosi, Yabona, ndibeka ilothe esazulwini sabantu bam amaSirayeli; andiyi kubuya ndiphinde ndidlule kubo.
7:9 Ziya kuchithwa iziganga zakwaIsake, zibengamanxuwa iingcwele zakwaSirayeli, ndisukele phezulu kwindlu kaYarobheham ngekrele.
7:10 UAmatsiya, umbingeleli waseBheteli, wathumela kuYarobheham ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, esithi, Ukucebile uAmosi esazulwini sendlu kaSirayeli; ilizwe alinakuwanyamezela onke amazwi akhe.
7:11 Ngokuba uAmosi utsho ukuthi, Uya kufa likrele uYarobheham, amaSirayeli aya kuthinjwa, afuduswe emke elizweni lawo.
7:12 Wathi uAmatsiya kuAmosi, Mboni, hamba, urhole uye ezweni lakwaYuda, udle khona isonka sakho, uprofete khona;
7:13 kodwa uze ungabi saphinda uprofete eBheteli, kuba yingcwele yokumkani khona, yindlu yakomkhulu leyo.
7:14 Waphendula uAmosi, wathi kuAmatsiya, Andimprofeti, andinyana wamprofeti; ndingumalusi weenkomo, ndingumbuthi weziqhamo zomthombe.
7:15 Kuba uYehova wandithabatha ndisalusa umhlambi, uYehova wathi kum, Yiya uprofete kubantu bam amaSirayeli.
7:16 Ngoko ke live ilizwi likaYehova. Uthi wena, Akuyi kuprofeta kumaSirayeli, akuyi kuwisa ntetho kwindlu kaIsake.
7:17 Ngako oko, utsho uYehova ukuthi, Umfazi wakho uya kuhenyuza phakathi komzi, bawe likrele oonyana bakho neentombi zakho; umhlaba wakho wabiwe ngolutya, ke wena ufele emhlabeni oyinqambi; amaSirayeli aya kuthinjwa, afuduswe emke elizweni lawo.
8:1 Yenjenje ukundibonisa iNkosi uYehova: Nantso ingobozi ineziqhamo zasehlotyeni.
8:2 Yathi kum, Ubona ntoni na, Amosi? Ndathi, Ingobozi, ineziqhamo zasehlotyeni. Wathi uYehova kum, Isiphelo sibafikele abantu bam amaSirayeli; andiyi kubuya ndiphinde ndidlule kubo.
8:3 Ziya kuba kukubhomboloza iingoma zetempile ngaloo mini; itsho iNkosi uYehova. Zininzi izidumbu; uziqungquluzisile ezindaweni zonke; thwize!
8:4 Yivani oku, nina bawazondayo amahlwempu, ukuba nibaphelise abaziintsizana belizwe, nisithi,
8:5 Kuya kugqitha nini na ukuthwasa kwenyanga, sithengise ngengqolowa? Iya kugqitha nini na isabatha, sivule izisele zengqolowa, ukuze sinciphise iefa, sikhulise ishekele, sigqwethe isikali, sibe sesokukhohlisa?
8:6 ukuze sizithenge izisweli ngesilivere, namahlwempu ngeembadada ezimbini, sithengise ngomdlungu wengqolowa?
8:7 Ulifungile uYehova iqhayiya likaYakobi, esithi, Inyaniso, andiyi kuzilibala naphakade izenzo zabo zonke.
8:8 Aliyi kugungqa na ngenxa yoku ilizwe, benze isijwili bonke abemiyo kulo? aliyi kunyuka na lonke liphela njengoMnayile, lisuke amadlu, liwuthe njengoMnayile waseYiputa?
8:9 Kothi ngaloo mini, itsho iNkosi uYehova, ndilitshonise ilanga emini enkulu, ndenze ubumnyama ehlabathini ngemini elisileyo.
8:10 Ndiya kuyijika imithendeleko yenu ibe sisijwili, neengoma zenu zonke zibe sisimbonono; ndinxibe ezimnyama zokuzila ezinqeni zonke; ndichebe zonke iintloko, ndikwenze konke oko, kube njengesijwili esenzelwa umntwana okuphela kwamzeleyo, nokuphela kwako kube njengomhla okrakra.
8:11 Yabonani, kuza imihla, itsho iNkosi uYehova, endiya kuthumela ukulamba kulo ilizwe, kungabi kuko ukulambela isonka, kungabi kuko ukunxanela amanzi; kube kukulambela ukuva amazwi kaYehova.
8:12 Baya kubhadula bethabathela kolunye ulwandle, base kolunye ulwandle; bethabathela entla, base empumalanga; betyhutyha, befuna ilizwi likaYehova, bangalifumani.
8:13 Ngaloo mini uya kuwa isiduli umthinjana omhle nomlisela, linxano.
8:14 Bona abo bafunga ityala lakwaSamari; bathi, Ehleli nje uThixo wakho, Dan; bathi, Ihleli nje indlela yaseBher-shebha: bona baya kuwa, bangabi savuka.
9:1 Ndayibona iNkosi imi ngasesibingeleweni. Yathi, Zibethe iinqanam, inyikime imigubasi yomnyango, uziqobe ezo zinto, ziwe entlokweni yabo bonke bephela, ndibabulale abokugqibela babo ngekrele. Osabayo kubo akasayi kusinda, angasindi nokuzisindisa kubo.
9:2 Ukuba bathe bagqobhozela elabafileyo, sobathabatha nakhona isandla sam; nokuba bathe benyuka baya ezulwini, ndobahlisa nakhona.
9:3 Nokuba bathe bazimela encotsheni yeKarmele, ndofuna, ndibathabathe nalapho; nokuba bathe bazisithelisa phambi kwamehlo am emazantsi olwandle, ndoyiwisela umthetho nalapho inyoka, ibalume.
9:4 Nokuba bathe bathinjwa phambi kweentshaba zabo, ndoliwisela umthetho nalapho ikrele, libabulale, ndiwamise kubo amehlo am, ukuba kube kubi, kungalungi.
9:5 INkosi uYehova wemikhosi ngulophatha ilizwe, linyibilike, benze isijwili bonke abemiyo kulo; linyuke lonke liphela njengoMnayile, libuye liwuthe njengoMnayile waseYiputa;
9:6 ngulowakhela emazulwini amagumbi akhe aphezulu, nophahla lwawo alusekele phezu kwehlabathi; ngulobiza amanzi olwandle, awathululele phezu kwehlabathi: nguYehova igama lakhe.
9:7 Aninjengoonyana bamaKushi na kum, nina nyana bakaSirayeli? utsho uYehova. Andiwanyusanga na amaSirayeli ezweni laseYiputa, amaFilisti eKafetori, ama-Aram eKire?
9:8 Yabonani, amehlo eNkosi uYehova asebukumkanini obonayo, ndibutshabalalise, bungabikho phezu komhlaba; kodwa andiyi kuyitshabalalisa iphele indlu kaYakobi; utsho uYehova.
9:9 Ngokuba, yabonani, ndiwisa umthetho, ndiyihlungule indlu kaSirayeli ezintlangeni zonke, njengoko kuhlungulwa ingqolowa ngesihlungulo, kungawi nokhozo emhlabeni.
9:10 Baya kufa ngekrele bonke aboni babantu bam; abo bathi, Abuyi kusifumana, abuyi kusithintela ububi.
9:11 Ngaloo mini ndiya kuwuvusa umnquba kaDavide, lowo uwileyo, ndizivingce iintanda zawo, ndizivuse iindawo zawo ezigungxulweyo, ndiwakhe ube njengokwemihla yamandulo;
9:12 ukuze bawathimbe amasalela akwaEdom, neentlanga zonke, ezibizwa ngegama lam; utsho uYehova okwenzayo oku.
9:13 Yabonani, kuza imihla, utsho uYehova, aya kuthi afumanane umlimi nomvuni, umxovuli weediliya afumanane nomhlwayeli wembewu; iintaba zivuze incindi yeediliya, neenduli zonke zinyibilike.
9:14 Ndiya kukubuyisa ukuthinjwa kwabantu bam amaSirayeli, bayakhe imizi engamanxuwa, bayihlale, batyale izidiliya, basele iwayini yazo, benze imiyezo, badle iziqhamo zayo.
9:15 Ndobatyala emhlabeni wabo, bangabi sanyothulwa emhlabeni wabo endabanikayo; utsho uYehova uThixo wakho.

1:1 Ke kaloku kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kuYona, unyana ka-Amitayi, lisithi,
1:2 Suk ume, uye eNineve, kuloo mzi mkhulu, umemeze ngawo; kuba iindawo zawo ezimbi zinyukile, zeza phambi kwam.
1:3 Wesuka uYona, ebalekela eTarshishe, emka ebusweni bukaYehova. Wehla ke waya eYafo, wafumanana nenqanawa eya eTarshishe. Wayirhola ingqesho yayo, wehla, wangena kuyo, ukuze aye nabo eTarshishe, emke ebusweni bukaYehova.
1:4 Ke uYehova wagalelekisa umoya omkhulu elwandle; kwabakho umoya omkhulu ovuthuzayo elwandle, inqanawa leyo yanga iza kwaphuka.
1:5 Boyika oomateloshe, bakhala elowo kuthixo wakhe; bayijulela elwandle impahla ebisenqanaweni, ukuziphungulela bona. UYona ke wayehle waya ezantsi enqanaweni, wasindwa bubuthongo walala.
1:6 Wasondela kuye umphathi wababheqi, wathi kuye, Wenzani na, thongorhandini? Vuka, ubize kuThixo wakho; mhlawumbi uThixo angasikhumbula, singabhubhi.
1:7 Bathi omnye komnye, Yizani, senze amaqashiso, sazi ukuba kungenxa kabani na ukuba sibe nobu bubi. Benza amaqashiso, iqashiso laphuma noYona.
1:8 Bathi kuye, Khawusixelele, kungenxa kabani na ukuba sibe nobu bubi? uyintoni na umsebenzi wakho? uvela phi na? liphi na ilizwe lakowenu? ungowabaphi na abantu?
1:9 Wathi kubo, NdingumHebhere; ndiyamoyika uYehova, uThixo wamazulu, owenza ulwandle, nomhlaba lo womileyo.
1:10 Oyika amadoda lawo ngoloyiko olukhulu, athi kuye, Yintoni na le uyenzileyo? Ngokuba amadoda lawo ayesazi ukuba ubaleka emka ebusweni bukaYehova; kuba wayewaxelele.
1:11 Athi kuye, Masenze ntoni na kuwe, ukuze ulwandle ludambe, lusiyeke? Kuba ulwandle belusiya lusilwa.
1:12 Wathi kuwo, Ndifunquleni, nindijulele elwandle, ludambe ulwandle, luniyeke; kuba ndiyazi, ukuba lo moya, mkhulu uvuthuzayo, uphezu kwenu, ungenxa yam.
1:13 Atyhudisa emazeni amadoda, ezama ukuyibuyisela emhlabeni owomileyo inqanawa; akhohlwa, kuba ulwandle lwaya lusilwa phezu kwazo ngeenxa zonke.
1:14 Anqula uYehova, athi, Gxebe, Yehova, masingafi, masingafi ngomphefumlo wale ndoda, ungalibeki phezu kwethu igazi elimsulwa; ngokuba wena, Yehova, wenze ngokuthanda kwakho.
1:15 Amfunqula ke uYona, amjulela elwandle; lwazola ulwandle, lwakuyeka ukujala kwalo.
1:16 Amadoda amoyika uYehova ngoloyiko olukhulu, abingelela kuYehova umbingelelo, abhambathisa izibhambathiso.
1:17 UYehova wamisela intlanzi enkulu ukuba imginye uYona. UYona waba sembilinini wentlanzi iimini ezintathu nobusuku obuthathu.
2:1 UYona wathandaza kuYehova uThixo wakhe embilinini wentlanzi, wathi, Ndakhala kuYehova ndisembandezelweni, Wandiphendula;
2:2 Ndazibika ndisesiswini selabafileyo, Waliva wena ilizwi lam.
2:3 Ngokuba wawundiphosa enzulwini, embilinini yeelwandle, Umlambo waba ngeenxa zonke kum; Adlula phezu kwam onke amaza akho alwayo, namaza akho agugumayo.
2:4 Ndathi ke mna, Ndigxothiwe phambi kwamehlo akho; Noko ke ndiya kubuya ndibheke etempileni yakho engcwele.
2:5 Andirhawula amanzi, ada eza emphefumlweni; Andijikeleza amanzi enzonzobila; Ingca yolwandle yayithi jize intloko yam.
2:6 Ndehla ndaya ezikhondweni zeentaba; Lona ihlabathi, imivalo yalo yandivalela ngonaphakade; Wasuka wabunyusa emhadini ubomi bam, Yehova Thixo wam.
2:7 Ekutyhafeni komphefumlo wam ngaphakathi kwam, ndakhumbula uYehova: Wafika kuwe umthandazo wam etempileni yakho engcwele.
2:8 Abagcine amampunge angento yanto Bashiya inceba yabo
2:9 Ke mna ndiya kubingelela kuwe ndinezwi lokubulela: Endakubhambathisayo ndiya kukuzalisa. Usindiso lukuYehova.
2:10 UYehova wathetha nentlanzi, yamhlanzela uYona emhlabeni owomileyo.
3:1 Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kuYona okwesibini, lisithi,
3:2 Suk ume, uye eNineve, kuloo mzi mkhulu, umemeze ngawo umemezo endithetha lona kuwe.
3:3 Wesuka ke uYona, waya eNineve ngokwelizwi likaYehova. Ke kaloku iNineve ibingumzi omkhulu kuThixo, iluhambo lweentsuku ezintathu.
3:4 UYona waqala wangena kuloo mzi uhambo losuku olunye, wamemeza, wathi, Zisaya kuba ziintsuku ezimashumi mane, iNineve ibhukuqwe.
3:5 Amadoda aseNineve akholwa kuThixo, amema uzilo, ambatha ezirhwexayo, ethabathela kwabakhulu bawo, esa kwabancinane bawo.
3:6 Lafika ilizwi elo kukumkani waseNineve; wesuka etroneni yakhe, wayisusa wayibeka phantsi ingubo yakhe ende, wazigubungela ngezirhwexayo, wahlala phantsi eluthuthwini.
3:7 Wathi, makudandulukwe kutshiwo eNineve ngomthetho wokumkani nezikhulu zakhe, ukuthi: Umntu nempahla enkulu, iinkomo nempahla emfutshane, mazingevi nento; mazingadli, mazingaseli namanzi;
3:8 maze azigubungele ngezirhwexayo umntu nempahla enkulu, akhale kuThixo ngokunamandla, abuye elowo endleleni yakhe embi, elugonyamelweni olusezandleni zakhe.
3:9 Ngubani na owaziyo ukuba akangebuyi kanti azohlwaye uThixo, abuye ekuvutheni komsindo wakhe, ukuze singabhubhi?
3:10 UThixo wazibona izenzo zabo, ukuba babuyile ezindleleni zabo ezimbi; uThixo wazohlwaya ngenxa yobubi, abethe uya kubenza kubo; akabenza.
4:1 Kwaba kubi kuYona kakhulu, wavutha ngumsindo.
4:2 Wathandaza kuYehova, wathi, Camagu, Yehova! Labe lingelilo na ilizwi lam eli, ndisesemhlabeni wakowethu? Ngenxa yoko ndaphanga ngokubalekela eTarshishe; ngokuba ndandisazi ukuba unguThixo obabalayo, onemfesane, ozeka kade umsindo, onenceba enkulu, ozohlwayayo ngenxa yobubi.
4:3 Ke ngoku, Yehova, seluwuthabatha umphefumlo wam kum, kuba ukufa kum kulungile kunokuba ndidle ubomi.
4:4 Wathi uYehova, Uyalungisa na ukuthi oku, uvuthe ngumsindo?
4:5 Waphuma ke uYona kuwo umzi, wahlala ngasempumalanga kuwo umzi, wazenzela khona umnquba; wahlala ngaphantsi kwawo emthunzini, ukuze ade abone ukuba kuya kuthekani na kuwo umzi.
4:6 UYehova uThixo wammisela umhlavuthwa; waphuma, wenyuka waba phezu koYona, ukuba ube ngumthunzi entlokweni yakhe, umhlangule ebubini bakhe. Wawuvuyela uYona umhlavuthwa lowo, wawuvuyela kakhulu.
4:7 UThixo wamisela intlava, ukuthi qhiphu kokusa ngengomso, yabetha umhlavuthwa lowo, woma.
4:8 Kwathi ekuphumeni kwelanga, uThixo wamisela ulophu lwasempumalanga; ilanga labetha kuYona entloko, wawa isiduli; wawucelela ukufa umphefumlo wakhe, wathi, Kulungile ukufa kum, kunokuba ndidle ubomi.
4:9 Wathi uThixo kuYona, Uyalungisa na ukuthi oku, uvuthe ngumsindo ngenxa yomhlavuthwa? Wathi, Ndiyalungisa ukuthi ndivuthe ngumsindo kude kuse ekufeni.
4:10 Wathi uThixo, Wena unenceba ngomhlavuthwa, ongabulalekanga nguwo, ongawuhlumisanga, okhule ngobusuku, wadaka ngobusuku:
4:11 ndingabi nanceba na ke mna ngenxa yeNineve, loo mzi mkhulu, unabantu abangaphezu kwekhulu elinamanci mabini amawaka, abangakwaziyo ukunene kwabo kwikhohlo labo; kwanempahla enkulu eninzi?

1:1 Indoda enkulu ibhalela uGayo oyintanda, endimthandayo mna ngenyaniso: ithi,
1:2 Ntanda, ndinga ungathi ngezinto zonke usikeleleke uphile, njengokuba usikelelekile umphefumlo wakho.
1:3 Kuba ndavuya kunene, bakufika abazalwana, bangqina ngenyaniso ekuwe, njengokuba wena uhamba enyanisweni.
1:4 Andinaluvuyo lungaphezu kolu, lokuba ndive ukuba abantwana bam bahamba enyanisweni.
1:5 Ntanda, wenza okuthembekileyo, oko sukuba ukwenzela abazalwana nabasemzini,
1:6 abalungqineleyo uthando lwakho phambi kwebandla; owothi ukuba ubaxhobisele indlela ngokufanele uThixo, ube uyatyapha;
1:7 kuba baphuma ngenxa yegama lakhe, bengathabathanga nto kuzo iintlanga.
1:8 Thina ngoko sifanele ukubaxhasa abanjalo, ukuze sibe ngabasebenzisana nabo kuyo inyaniso.
1:9 Ndalibhalela ibandla; ke usuke lowo uthanda ukuzenza mkhulu kubo, uDiyotrefe, angasamkeli.
1:10 Ngenxa yoko, ukuba ndithe ndafika, ndomkhumbuza imisebenzi yakhe ayenzayo, ephololoza ngathi ngamazwi angendawo; enganeli koko, usuka angabamkeli abazalwana ngokwakhe, abalele abanga bangenjenjalo, abakhuphe ebandleni.
1:11 Ntanda, musa ukulandela okubi, landela okulungileyo. Lowo wenza okulungileyo ungokaThixo; ke lowo wenza okubi akambonanga uThixo.
1:12 UDemetriyo ungqinelwe ngabo bonke, nayiyo inyaniso; nathi ke siyangqina; niyazi ukuba ubungqina bethu buyinene.
1:13 Ndandinezinto ezininzi endingazibhalayo, kodwa andithandanga kuzibhala ngainki nangalusiba;
1:14 ndiyathemba ke ukuba ndokubona kwakufuphi nje, sithethe ngomlomo. Uxolo malube kuwe. Ziyakubulisa izihlobo. Zibulise izihlobo ngegama. Amen.

1:1 UYakobi, umkhonzi kaThixo neNkosi uYesu Kristu, ubhalela izizwe ezilishumi elinazibini eziziintsali, ebulisa.
1:2 Kubaleleni ekuthini kuluvuyo olukhulu, bazalwana bam, xa nithe nagaxeleka ezilingweni ngezilingo,
1:3 nisazi nje ukuba ucikido lokholo lwenu lusebenza umonde.
1:4 Umonde ke mawube nomsebenzi ozalisekileyo, ukuze nibe ngabazalisekileyo, abagqibeleleyo, ningaswele nto.
1:5 Ukuba ke ubani kuni uswele ubulumko, makacele kuThixo, onika bonke engenakumbi, engangcikivi; wobunikwa.
1:6 Ke makacele ekholwa, engathandabuzi; kuba lowo uthandabuzayo ufana nokulatyuza kolwandle, luqhutywa ngumoya, luntsileka.
1:7 Kuba loo mntu makangabi uya kwamkela nto kuyo iNkosi.
1:8 Indoda emphefumlo umbaxa iyahlozinga kuzo zonke iindlela zayo.
1:9 Ke umzalwana othobekileyo makaqhayise ngako ukuphakama kwakhe;
1:10 osisityebi ke makaqhayise ngako ukuthobeka kwakhe; ngokuba uya kudlula njengentyantyambo yengca.
1:11 Kuba lithi lakuphuma ilanga, kunye nolophu, liyitshise ingca, ize ke intyantyambo yayo ivuthuluke, buthi nobuhle bembonakalo yayo butshabalale; siya kwenjenjalo nesityebi ukungcumbeka eluhambeni lwaso.
1:12 Inoyolo indoda ekunyamezelayo ukulingwa; ngokuba yothi, yakuba icikidekile, isamkele isithsaba sobomi, ebabeke ngedinga iNkosi abo bayithandayo.
1:13 Makungabikho namnye utshoyo akuhendwa ukuthi, Ndihendwa kwaThixo; kuba uThixo akanakuhendeka kokubi, akahendi namnye ke yena.
1:14 Elowo ke uhendwa akutsalwa, abanjiswe, yeyakhe inkanuko.
1:15 Ithi inkanuko, yakuba ithabathile, izale isono; sithi ke isono, sakuba sikhulelwe, sizale ukufa.
1:16 Musani ukulahlekiswa, bazalwana bam baziintanda.
1:17 Sonke isipho esilungileyo, naso sonke isipho esigqibeleleyo, sesaphezulu; sihla sivela kuye uYise wezikhanyiso, ongenabuyambo nasithunzi sakujika.
1:18 Uthandile, wasizala ngelizwi lenyaniso, ukuze sibe yintlahlela yazo izidalwa zakhe.
1:19 Ngoko ke, bazalwana bam baziintanda, makathi umntu wonke enze msinya ukuva, enze kade ukuthetha, enze kade ukuqumba;
1:20 kuba ingqumbo yendoda ayisebenzi bulungisa bukaThixo.
1:21 Kungoko endithi, yithini, nibubekile nxamnye bonke ubunyhukunyhuku nokuphuphuma ulunya, namkele ninobulali ilizwi elimiselweyo kuni, elinako ukuyisindisa imiphefumlo yenu.
1:22 Yibani ke ngabenzi belizwi, ningabi ngabaphulaphuli kodwa, nizidephisela.
1:23 Ngokuba umntu, ukuba ungumphulaphuli nje welizwi, engemenzi walo, lowo ufana nendoda eqiqa ubuso bayo bobuntu esipilini;
1:24 kuba iyaziqiqa, imke, ilibale kwaoko ukuba ibinjani na.
1:25 Ke yena oqondela emthethweni ogqibeleleyo wayo inkululeko, ahlale ehleli kuwo, lowo, ethe nje akaba ngumphulaphuli olibalayo, esuke waba ngumenzi womsebenzi: yena uya kuba noyolo ekwenzeni kwakhe.
1:26 Ukuba ubani kuni uba ungonqulayo, abe engalubambi ngomkhala ulwimi lwakhe, elukuhla intliziyo yakhe, unqulo lwalowo alunto yanto.
1:27 Unqulo lona oluhlambulukileyo, olu ngadyobhekileyo phambi koThixo uBawo, lulo olu: kukuvelela iinkedama nabahlolokazi embandezelweni, yabo: kukuzigcina engenabala kulo ihlabathi.
2:1 Bazalwana bam, musani ukukuphatha ngokukhetha buso bamntu, ukukholwa yiNkosi yethu yozuko, uYesu Kristu.
2:2 Kuba, xa kuthe kwangena endlwini yenu yesikhungu indoda enemisesane yegolide, inengubo eqaqambileyo; kwaza ke kwangena ihlwempu, lineengubo ezimdaka;
2:3 naza nakhangela kulowo uvethe ingubo eqaqambileyo, nathi kuye, Hlala apha kakuhle wena; nathi kulo ihlwempu, Yima phaya wena; mhlawumbi, Hlala phantsi apha ngasesihlalweni seenyawo zam:
2:4 anicalulanga na ke phakathi kwenu, naba ngabagwebi abanezicamango ezingendawo?
2:5 Yivani, bazalwana bam baziintanda: uThixo akawanyulanga na amahlwempu eli hlabathi, ukuba abe zizityebi zokholo, neendlalifa zobukumkani, awababeka ngedinga abo bamthandayo?
2:6 Ke nina nilihlazisile ihlwempu. Izityebi azinishicileli na? Zona azinirholeli ematyaleni na?
2:7 Zona azilinyelisi na igama elihle elo, nabizwa ngalo?
2:8 Ukuba okunene niyawuzalisa umthetho wakomkhulu, ngokwesibhalo esithi, Uze umthande ummelwane wakho ngoko uzithanda ngako, nityaphile;
2:9 kodwa ukuba nikhetha ubuso bomntu, nisebenza isono, niyohlwaywa ngumthetho ngokwabagqithi.
2:10 Kuba yena oya kuwugcina umthetho uphela, akhubeke mthethweni mnye, unetyala layo yonke.
2:11 Kuba lowo wathi, Musa ukukrexeza, ubuye wathi, Musa ukubulala. Ke, ukuba akukrexezi, kodwa ubulala, usewuthe waba ngumgqithi-mthetho.
2:12 Yithini ukuthetha, yithini ukwenza, nenze njengabaza kugwetywa ngomthetho wenkululeko.
2:13 Kuba umgwebo awuyi kuba natarhu kulowo ungenzanga nceba; kananjalo inceba iyawuqhayisela umgwebo.
2:14 Kunceda ntoni na, bazalwana bam, ukuba umntu uthi unokholo, abe imisebenzi ke engenayo? Lunako yini na ukumsindisa ukholo lwakhe?
2:15 Ukuba ke umzalwana, nokuba ngudade, bathi bahambe ze, beswele ukudla imihla ngemihla,
2:16 athi ke omnye wenu kubo, Hambani ninoxolo, yothani, hluthani; nibe ke ningabaniki izinto ezo ziwufaneleyo umzimba: kunceda ntoni na?
2:17 Ngokunjalo nalo ukholo, ukuba luthi lungabi namisebenzi, lufile ngokukokwalo.
2:18 Wosuka omnye, athi, Wena unokholo, ke mna ndinemisebenzi; ndibonise ukholo lwakho olungenamisebenzi yakho; nam ndokubonisa ngokwasemisebenzini yam ukholo lwam.
2:19 Wena uyakholwa ukuba uThixo mnye; uyatyapha; nazo iidemon ziyakholwa, zibe namanwele.
2:20 Uyathanda na ke ukwazi, mntundini ungento, ukuba ukholo olu, ingekho imisebenzi, lufile?
2:21 UAbraham, ubawo wethu, akagwetyelwanga na ngokwasemisebenzini, akumnikela uIsake, unyana wakhe, phezu kwesibingelelo?
2:22 Uyabona ukuba ukholo lwalusebenzisana nemisebenzi yakhe, lwenziwa wagqibelela ukholo ngokwasemisebenzini?
2:23 Saza sazaliseka isibhalo esithi, Wakholwa ke uAbraham nguye uThixo; kwaza oko kwabalelwa ebulungiseni kuye, wabizwa ngokuba sisihlobo sikaThixo.
2:24 Niyabona ke ngoko, ukuba umntu uyagwetyelwa ngokwasemisebenzini; kungabi ngokwaselukholweni lodwa.
2:25 Ngokunjalo ke, noRahabhi, ihenyukazi, akagwetyelwanga na ngokwasemisebenzini, akubamkela ngobubele abathunywa, abakhuphele phandle ngayimbi indlela?
2:26 Kuba, kwanjengokuba umzimba, ungekho umoya, ufile, ngokunjalo ukholo, ingekho imisebenzi, lufile nalo.
3:1 Musani ukuba ngabafundisi abaninzi, bazalwana bam, nisazi nje ukuba siya kwamkela olona lukhulu ugwebo.
3:2 Kuba siyakhubeka kaninzi sonke. Ukuba umntu akakhubeki zwini, lowo uyindoda egqibeleleyo, enako ukuwubamba ngomkhala nawo umzimba uphela.
3:3 Yabona, sifaka imikhala emilonyeni yamahashe, ukuba asithambele, siwajike umzimba wawo uphela.
3:4 Yabona, nayo imikhombe, imikhulu kangaka nje, iqhutywa nje yimimoya enamandla, ijikwa ngomthi wokujika omncinanana, iye apho sukuba umlawuli angxamele ukuba ingaya ngakhona.
3:5 Ngokunjalo nalo ulwimi, lulilungu elincinanana nje, luyagwagwisa kakhulu. Yabona ke, umlilo omncinane utshisa ihlathi elikhulu.
3:6 Nolwimi olu ngumlilo, lihlabathi elizele kukungalungisi; lunjalo ulwimi ukuhlala phakathi kwamalungu ethu. Lona luyawudyobha umzimba uphela, luvuthisa intenda yobomi; lona ke luvuthiswa sisihogo somlilo.
3:7 Kuba zonke iimvelo zezinto ezizitho zine, kwanezeentaka, nezezinambuzane, kwanezezinto eziselwandle, ziyadanjiswa, kanjalo sezikhe zadanjiswa yimvelo eyiyeyabantu;
3:8 ke lona ulwimi alunaye noko amnye ebantwini, unokuludambisa; lubububi obungenakubanjwa, luzele bubuhlungu obubulalayo.
3:9 Ngalo siyambonga uThixo uYise, nangalo siyabaqalekisa abantu abenziwe ngokomfanekiselo kaThixo.
3:10 Kwakulo mlomo mnye kuphuma intsikelelo nengqalekiso. Akufanelekile, bazalwana bam, ukuba ezi zinto zibe nje.
3:11 Umthombo umpompoza amnandi nakrakra kwangelo liso linye, yini na?
3:12 Unako yini na, bazalwana bam, umkhiwane ukuvelisa iinkozo zomnquma, uthi umdiliya uvelise amakhiwane? Ngokunjalo akukho namnye umthombo ongavelisa amanzi amtyuba namnandi.
3:13 Ngubani na olumkileyo, owaziyo kakuhle phakathi kwenu? Makayibonise imisebenzi yakhe ngehambo entle, enobulali bobulumko.
3:14 Ke, ukuba ninomona okrakra neyelenqe entliziyweni yenu, musani ukuyiqhayisela nokuyixoka inyaniso.
3:15 Obo bulumko asibubo obuhla phezulu; bobasemhlabeni, bobemvelo, bobeedemon.
3:16 Kuba apho kukhoyo umona neyelenqe, kubakho isiphithiphithi nemicimbi emibi yonke.
3:17 Ke bona ubulumko baphezulu ukuqala bunyulu, buze bube boboxolo; buyancendezela, buthozame kakuhle, buzele yinceba neziqhamo ezilungileyo; abunankani, abunaluhanahaniso.
3:18 Isiqhamo ke sobulungisa sihlwayelwa ngoxolo ngabo benza uxolo.
4:1 Zivela phi na iimfazwe nokulwa phakathi kwenu? Aziveli na apha eziyolweni zenu, eziwaphumela umkhosi amalungu enu?
4:2 Niyakhanuka, ningabi nakuzuza nto noko; niyabulala, nizonde, ningabi nakufumana nto noko; niyalwa, nenze imfazwe, ningabi nakuzuza nto ke, ngenxa yokuba ningaceli.
4:3 Niyacela, ningamkeli noko, ngenxa enokuba nicela kakubi, ukuze oko nikuchithele iziyolo zenu.
4:4 Bakrexezindini, bakrexezikazindini, anazi na ukuba ubuhlobo balo ihlabathi bubutshaba kuye uThixo? Othe ngoko wanga angaba sisihlobo salo ihlabathi, uzenza utshaba lukaThixo.
4:5 Okanye niba isibhalo esi sifumana sisitsho na, ukuthi, Umoya owahlala ngaphakathi kwethu ulangazelela ukukhweleta?
4:6 Ke ubabala kakhulu ngakumbi. Kungoko sithi, UThixo uyabachasa abanekratshi, abababale abazithobileyo.
4:7 Mthobeleni ngoko uThixo. Mchaseni ke uMtyholi, wonibaleka.
4:8 Sondelani kuye uThixo, wosondela kuni. Hlambululani izandla, boni, nenze nyulu iintliziyo, nina bamphefumlo umbaxa.
4:9 Yibani ziindwayi, nikhedame, nilile; ukuhleka kwenu makujike kube kukukhedama, nalo uvuyo lwenu lube kukuthi dakumba.
4:10 Zithobeni emehlweni eNkosi, yoniphakamisa.
4:11 Musani ukuthetha okubi omnye ngomnye, bazalwana. Lowo uthetha okubi ngomzalwana, amgwebe umzalwana wakhe, uthetha okubi ngomthetho, agwebe umthetho; ke, ukuba uyawugweba umthetho, akumenzi wamthetho, ungumgwebi.
4:12 Mnye uMmisi-mthetho, lowo unako ukusindisa nokutshabalalisa; ungubani na wena, umgwebayo omnye?
4:13 Wenani kaloku, nina nitshoyo ukuthi, Namhla, nokuba kungomso, siya kuya kulaa mzi, senze khona umnyaka ube mnye, sirhwebe, sizuze;
4:14 kanti nina aba anikwazi kakuhle okwangomso. Kuba buyintoni na ubomi benu? Bungumphunga obonakala ixesha elincinane, uze ke uthi shwaka.
4:15 Endaweni yokuba nithi, Ukuba iNkosi ithe yathanda, saphila, siya kwenza le nto, nalaa nto.
4:16 Ngoku ke niqhayisa ngokuqhankqalaza kwenu; konke ukuqhayisa okunjalo akundawo.
4:17 Ngoko kowaziyo ukwenza okuhle, angakwenzi, kulowo kusisono.
5:1 Wenani kaloku, zityebi, lilani nenze isijwili ngeenkxwaleko zenu ezizayo.
5:2 Ubutyebi benu bubolile, neengubo zenu zidliwe ngamanundu.
5:3 Igolide nesilivere yenu idliwe ngumhlwa; umhlwa wazo uya kuba lingqina ngakuni, uyidle inyama yenu njengomlilo. Niziqwebele ubutyebi ngeemini zokugqibela.
5:4 Yabonani, umvuzo wabasebenzi, abavune amasimi enu, lowo ubandeziweyo nini, uyakhala; kwaye ukubhomboloza kwabavuni abo kungenile ezindlebeni zeNkosi yemikhosi.
5:5 Nadla ubuncwane emhlabeni apha, naxhamla iziyolo, nazondla iintliziyo zenu njengamhla kuxheliweyo.
5:6 Namgweba, nambulala olilungisa; yena akanichasi.
5:7 Nyamezelani ngoko, bazalwana, ide ifike iNkosi. Niyabona, umlimi uyasilinda isiqhamo sawo umhlaba esinexabiso elikhulu, anyamezele ngaso, side samkele eyaphambili neyasemva imvula.
5:8 Nyamezelani nani, zizimaseni iintliziyo zenu, ngokuba ukufika kweNkosi kusondele.
5:9 Musani ukukrokrelana omnye nomnye, bazalwana, ukuze ningagwetywa; yabonani, uMgwebi umi phambi komnyango.
5:10 Bathabatheni, bazalwana bam, abaprofeti ababethetha egameni leNkosi, babe ngumzekelo wokuva ubunzima, nowokunyamezela.
5:11 Yabonani, sithi, banoyolo abo banyamezelayo. Unyamezelo lukaYobhi naluva, nesigqibo seNkosi nasibona, ngokuba iNkosi inemfesane enkulu, inenceba.
5:12 Ke kaloku, ngaphezu kweento zonke, bazalwana bam, musani ukufunga, nokuba lizulu, nokuba ngumhlaba, nokuba sesinye isifungo esiyini; makathi ke uewe wenu abe nguewe, nohayi abe nguhayi, ukuze ningeyeli ekugwetyweni.
5:13 Kukho mntu na phakathi kwenu uva ububi? Makathandaze. Kukho mntu na unomxhelo owonwabileyo? Makenze indumiso.
5:14 Kukho mntu na ufayo phakathi kwenu? Makabizele kuye amadoda amakhulu alo ibandla, athandaze wona phezu kwakhe, akuba emthambisile ngeoli, egameni leNkosi;
5:15 wothi umthandazo wokholo umsindise lowo uleleyo, iNkosi imvuse; nokuba ubethe wenza izono, wozixolelwa.
5:16 Xelelanani iziphoso, nithandazelane, ukuze niphiliswe. Sinamandla kakhulu isikhungo selungisa, siyeyisa.
5:17 UEliya wayengumntu oluvo lunjengolwethu, wathandaza umthandazo ukuba ingani; ayana emhlabeni iminyaka emithathu eneenyanga ezintandathu.
5:18 Wabuya wathandaza, laza izulu lanika imvula, umhlaba wavelisa isiqhamo sawo.
5:19 Bazalwana, ukuba uthe omnye phakathi kwenu walahleka enyanisweni, wathi ubani wamguqula,
5:20 makazi ukuba lowo wamguqulayo umoni ekulahlekeni kwakhe, woba usindise umphefumlo ekufeni, wagubungela inkitha yezono.

1:1 Isihlabo esisingisele kwiNineve. Incwadi yombono kaNahum wase-Elekoshe.
1:2 UYehova nguThixo onobukhwele, ophindezelayo; uYehova ngumphindezeli obushushu bukhulu; uYehova ngumphindezeli kubachasi bakhe, ezigcinela iintshaba zakhe umsindo wakhe.
1:3 UYehova uzeka kade umsindo, mkhulu ke ngamandla, ongakhe amenze msulwa onetyala; uYehova, indlela yakhe isesivunguvaneni naseluqhwitheleni, namafu aluthuli lweenyawo zakhe.
1:4 Ukhalimela ulwandle, alutshise, ayomise nemilambo yonke; intshwenyile iKarmele neBhashan, intshwenyile intyantyambo yaseLebhanon.
1:5 Iintaba ziyanyikima phambi kwakhe, neenduli ziyanyibilika; liyafukuka ihlabathi ebusweni bakhe, elimiweyo nabemi bonke abakulo.
1:6 Ngubani na ongemayo phambi kobhavumo lwakhe? Ngubani na ongaziphakamisayo ekuvutheni komsindo wakhe? Ubushushu bakhe buphalazeka njengomlilo, namawa ayadilizwa nguye.
1:7 UYehova ulungile, uligwiba ngemini yembandezelo; uyabazi abazimela ngaye.
1:8 Ke uyayiphelisa indawo yayo ngomkhukula ehamba phandle, azisukele iintshaba zakhe emnyameni
1:9 Nicinga ntoni na ngoYehova? Uyaphelisa yena; imbandezelo ayisayi kuphakama izihlandlo ezibini.
1:10 Kuba bofanelana bephinyelene ngokweziphingo, benxila yiwayini yabo emnandi: baya kudliwa kuphele, njengeendiza ezomileyo.
1:11 Kuphume kuwe ocinga okubi ngoYehova, oceba ubutshijolo.
1:12 Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Noko bapheleleyo, bebaninzi nokuba baninzi, baya kusikwa noko benjalo, badlule. Ndikucinezele nje, andiyi kuphinda ndikucinezele.
1:13 Ngoku ke ndiya kuyaphula idyokhwe yakhe, ingabikho kuwe; ndiziqhawule izitropu zakho.
1:14 Ke uYehova uwise umthetho ngawe, wokuba akusayi kuba sahlwayelwa nto inegama lakho; endlwini yothixo wakho ndowunqumla umfanekiso oqingqiweyo notyhidiweyo; ndiya kulenza ingcwaba akho; kuba wafunyanwa ulula.
1:15 Yabonani, zisezintabeni iinyawo zabashumayela iindaba ezilungileyo, abavakalisa usindiso. Yenza imithendeleko yakho, Yuda, zalisa izibhambathiso zakho; ngokuba akasayi kubuya acande kuwe olitshijolo; unqunyulwe kwaphela.
2:1 Kunyuke umhlekezi, weza phambi kwakho, Nineve; londoloza inqaba yakho, bonisela endleleni, qinisa izinqe, khupha amandla kunene.
2:2 Ngokuba uYehova ulibuyele iqhayiya lakwaYakobi ngokweqhayiya lakwaSirayeli; ngokuba abathi qongqololo bathe qongqololo; bawonakalisile amasebe abo emidiliya.
2:3 Ingweletshetshe yamagorha akhe yenziwe ingqombela, amadoda anobu kroti athiwe wambu ngezibomvu; iinqwelo zokulwa zinomlilo ophuma ezintsimbini ngemini yokuxhoba kwakhe, izinto zemisipres ziyatyityimba.
2:4 Iinqwelo zokulwa ziyadlongozela ezitratweni, ziyagilana emabaleni; ukubonakala kwazo kunjengezikhuni ezitshangaziswayo, zibaleka njengemibane.
2:5 Ukhumbule iingangamsha zakhe; ziya kukhubeka ekuhambeni kwazo; zingxamela eludongeni lwayo, selimisiwe ikhuselo.
2:6 Amasango asemilanjeni avuliwe, linyibilikile ibhotwe.
2:7 Kugqityiwe kwelokuba iya kuhlutywa, imkiswe, nabakhonzazana bayo badumzele ngokwelizwi lamavukuthu, bebetha ezifubeni zabo.
2:8 INineve injengechibi lamanzi, kususela koko yabakhoyo; bayabaleka noko; kuba angathiwa, Yimani, yimani! hayi, akubikho uphethulayo.
2:9 Phangani isilivere, phangani igolide; akunakuphela ukuxhotyiswa ngobuninzi beempahla zonke ezinqwenelekayo.
2:10 Kuthe qongqololo, kwathi qongqololo, kwaba selubala; intliziyo inyibilikile, amadolo ayagevezela; yinimba emanqeni onke, ubuso bonke buphela buba luthuthu.
2:11 Siphi na isikhundla seengonyama, nedlelo elo leengonyama ezintsha, ebilihamba ingonyama induna nengonyamakazi, ithole lengonyama, kungekho wothusayo?
2:12 Ingonyama le iqwenga okwanele amathole ayo, ikrwitshele iingonyamakazi zayo, izalise imingxuma yayo ngexhoba, nezikhundla zayo ngento eqwengiweyo.
2:13 Uthi uYehova wemikhosi, Yabona, ndikuchasile; ndozitshisa iinqwelo zakho zokulwa zibe ngumsi, ikrele lizidle iingonyama zakho ezintsha; ndilinqumle ehlabathini ixhoba lakho, lingabi savakala izwi labathunywa bakho.
3:1 Yeha, umzi wamagazi! Uzele kwaphela luhanahaniso nakukudlavula; akumki kuwo ukuqwenga.
3:2 Isithonga seziniya, nesithonga sokugoqoza kweevili, nokuphala kwamahashe, nokuxhuma kweenqwelo zokulwa;
3:3 abamahashe besenza amagqasi, ukubengezela kwamakrele, nokumenyezela kwezikhali; ukuba baninzi ababuleweyo, izigigaba zabafileyo; ewe, azinakuphela izidumbu; bayakhubeka ezidumbini zabo;
3:4 ngenxa yobuninzi bezihenyuzo zehenyukazi elihle, elinesoya, umnikazi-kukhafula, othengisa iintlanga ngezihenyuzo zakhe, nemizalwane ngokukhafula kwakhe.
3:5 Uthi uYehova wemikhosi, Yabona, ndikuchasile; ndozityhila iingubo zakho, ndiziphose phezu kobuso bakho, ndizibonise iintlanga ubuze bakho; ndizibonise izikumkani ukucukucezwa kwakho.
3:6 Ndiya kukugalela ngezinto ezinezothe, ndikwenze inqambi, ndikwenze ube njengento ebonelwayo.
3:7 Kuya kuthi, bonke abakubonayo bakubaleke, bathi, INineve ibhuqekile; ngubani na oya kuyikhuza? ndokufunela phi na abathuthuzeli?
3:8 Uyidlule ngokulunga yini na iNo ka-Amon, eyamisa emijelweni yoMnayile, amanzi engeenxa zonke kuyo; elungqameko lwayo ibilulwandle, udonga lwayo lululwandle?
3:9 Ayengamandla ayo amaKushi kwanamaYiputa, engenakuphela ndawo ke; amaPuti namaLubhi avengabancedisi bayo.
3:10 Nayo ke leyo yafuduswa, yathinjwa, neentsana zayo zacunyuzwa ezimbonjeni zezitrato zonke; amadoda azukileyo kuyo bawenzela amaqashiso; bonke abakhulu kuyo babakhonkxa ngemixokelelwane.
3:11 Nawe lo uya kunxila, uya kufihlakala; nawe lo uya kufuna igwiba ngenxa yotshaba.
3:12 Zonke iinqaba zakho ziyimikhiwane enamakhiwane aqalelayo; ukuba avuthululwe, owa emlonyeni wowadlayo.
3:13 Yabona, abantu bakho bangamankazana phakathi kwakho apho; avulekile amasango elizwe lakho, avulekela iintshaba zakho; umlilo utshisa imivalo yakho.
3:14 Zikhelele amanzi angqingo, qinisa iinqaba zakho; ngena eludakeni, uxovule udongwe; lungisa iziko lokutshisa izitena.
3:15 Khona apho umlilo uya kukutshisa; ikrele liya kukunqumla, liya kukudla njengenkumbi ekhothululayo. Zandise njengenkumbi ekhothululayo, zandise njengenkumbi eyandayo.
3:16 Ubandisile ke abarhwebi bakho ngaphezu kweenkwenkwezi zezulu; inkumbi ekhothululayo igalelekile, yabhunyula, yabaleka yemka.
3:17 Abaluluhle bakho banjengeenkumbi ezandayo, abathetheli bakho banjengemiqikela, ngemiqikela yeenkumbi, ezilalisa ezintangweni mhla ngengqele; lithi lingaphuma ilanga, zibaleke zimke, ingazeki indawo yazo, ukuba ziphi na.
3:18 Balele abalusi bakho, kumkani Asiriya; zilele phantsi iingangamsha zakho; bathe phangalala abantu bakho ezintabeni, akukho ubabuthayo.
3:19 Akuhlangani ukwaphuka kwakho; inxeba lakho lelibulalayo. Bonke abazivayo iindaba zakho babetha izandla ngawe; ngokuba ngubani na ezingadlulanga phezu kwakhe izinto zakho ezimbi ngamaxesha onke?
