Bible Reading Plan – Day 232

Luvakele udaba oluvela kuNdikhoyo;

sigalelekile ezizweni isigidimi, sisithi:

“Vukani, siye kulwa naye uEdom!”

₂UNdikhoyo uthi kwiEdom:

“Uyabona, ndokwenza ube mncinane phakathi kwezizwe;

uya kusuka udeleke mpela.

₃Ikratshi elisentliziyweni yakho likukhohlisile.

Wena uhlala ezimfanteni zamawa,

wena ukhaya likweliphezulu,

xa uzithethela uman' usithi:

‘Ngubani oya kundithula andise emhlabeni?’

₄Noba ungade untinge njengokhozi,

ewe, noba usezinkwenkwezini umzi wakho,

nalapho mna ndiya kukuthoba.”

Lowo ke ngumlomo kaNdikhoyo.

₅“Xa ufikelwe ngamasela,

ewe, nokuba zizihange ebusuku,

aya kûba kangangoko anako,

akushiyele kodwa.

Nabavuni beediliya bavuna bagqibe,

kushiyeke umkhwahlazo.

Kodwa eyakho intshabalalo iya kugqithisa.

₆Kaloku, wena Esawu, uya kugqogqwa uphengululwe,

konke okwakho okunexabiso kuthinjwe.

₇Oogxa bakho bokududulela emideni.

Izihlobo zokukhohlisa utsho woyisakale.

Abo ubusidla kunye nabo bokugcayisela,

kodwa sobe uyiqonde loo nto.”

₈Nguwo lo umlomo kaNdikhoyo:

“Mhla ndamohlwaya uEdom

ndozitshabalalisa izilumko zakhe,

kungabikho mntu uqiqayo kwezo ntaba zakwaEsawu.

₉Ke wona amadoda omkhosi waseTeman osuka arhwaqele;

bonke abakwiintaba zakwaEsawu baya kunqunyulwa babulawe.

₁₀Ngenxa yobundlobongela obenze kumntakwenu,

nditsho umninawe wakho onguYakobi,

ihlazo liya kukugubungela,

utshatyalaliswe ngonaphakade.”

₁₁“Ngaloo mini wena wema bhuxe

ngeli xesha utshaba luthath' ubutyebi.

Iintlanga zangena emasangweni,

zenza *amaqashiso ngeJerusalem,

suka wena waba njengomnye wazo.

₁₂Akwaba ubungamdelanga umntakwenu,

nditsho ngemini yakhe yelishwa.

Akwaba ubungagcobanga ngenxa kaJuda

ngemini yakhe yentshabalalo.

Akwaba ubungaqholosanga

mhla lalibhek' umoya kuye.

₁₃Ngewungangenanga kumasango abantu bam

ngomhla wabo wesithwakumbe.

Ngewungabajongelanga phantsi ngenkxwaleko yabo

ngemini yentlekele yabo.

Ngewungabuxhaphazanga ubutyebi babo

ngomhla weshwangusha labo.

₁₄Akwaba ubungemanga eziphambukeni

ukuze unqakule iimbacu zabo.

Amasalela ngewungawanikelanga elutshabeni

mhla kwakugos' okwaphukayo.”

₁₅“Ewe, kuzo zonke izizwe imini *kaNdikhoyo isondele.

Loo nto uyenzileyo, wena Edom, iya kubuya yenziwe nakuwe;

isikhuni siya kubuya nomkhwezeli.

₁₆Njengoko nina nayisezwayo ibhekile yesohlwayo entabeni yam engcwele,

ngokunjalo nezinye izizwe ziya kuyisezwa,

phofu ziyisele zingayeki.

Ewe, ziya kusela zibimbilize,

zide zibe ngathi zange zabakho.”

₁₇“Ke kwintaba iZiyon kuya kubakho abasindileyo;

yona yobuya ibe yindawo engcwele.

Indlu kaYakobi iya kulixhamla ilifa layo,

libe sezandleni zayo.

₁₈Indlu kaYakobi iya kuba ngumlilo,

indlu kaJosefu ibe lidangatye.

Ke yona ekaEsawu ibe ngumququ,

bayintumeke umlilo itshe iphele.

Akusayi kubakho masalela kule ndlu kaEsawu mpela-mpela.”

Etshilonje *uNdikhoyo, utshilo.

₁₉“Ke zona iintaba zakwaEsawu zomiwa ngabantu belasezantsi;

ke bona abakumazantsi eentaba beme kumhlaba wamaFilistiya.

Bowuthatha umhlaba kaEfrayim nowaseSamariya,

abakwaBhenjamin beme eGiliyadi.

₂₀Iimbacu zamaSirayeli ziya kuyithimba iKanana ziye kutsho eZarefa,

iimbacu zaseJerusalem eziseSefaradi zithimbe iidolophu zelasezantsi.

₂₁Abahlanguli bophuma eZiyon,

bazilawule iintaba zakwaEsawu,

ubukumkani bube bobukaNdikhoyo.”

₁“Thuthuzelani, bathuthuzeleni abantu bam,”

utsho kaloku uThixo wenu.

₂“Thethani kakuhle neJerusalem;

dandulukani niyixelele ukuba umzabalazo wayo ufezekile.

Kaloku izono zayo zixolelwe;

*uNdikhoyo uyibonelele ngaphezu kunobugwenxa bayo.”

“UNdikhoyo mhlahleleni indlela entlango;

uThixo wethu mgeceleni uhola kwelibharhileyo.

₄Zonke izigingqi mazidityelelwe,

iintaba neenduli zidilizwe zibe ngamathafa,

ke zona izixhobo zigqalwe zibe ziintili,

amageduka aletyelwe abe zizithabazi.

₅Ke ubungangamsha bukaNdikhoyo buya kutyhileka,

lonke uluntu lububone.

Kaloku lowo ngumlomo kaNdikhoyo.”

₆Ndeva ilizwi lisithi:

“Suka udanduluke uthethe.”

Ndibuze ndathi: “Ndithethe ndithini na?”

“Yithi: ‘Bonke abantu banjengengca;

ubomi babo bulingana nobeentyatyambo.

₇Kaloku ingca iyabuna, ivuthuluke intyatyambo

yakubethwa ngumoya kaNdikhoyo.

Ngenene uluntu nqwa nengca.

₈Ingca iyatshaza, yona ke intyatyambo ibune,

ke lona ilizwi loThixo wethu lohlala lihleli.’ ”

₉Phakama unyukele entabeni, wena Ziyon,

sigidimi seendaba ezimnandi.

Danduluka umemeze, wena Jerusalem,

mvakalisi weendaba ezimnandi.

Sukoyika, danduluka umemeze.

Yithi kwiidolophu zelakwaJuda:

“Nanko ke uThixo wenu.”

₁₀Kaloku iNkosi uNdikhoyo iza ngokomelela;

iya kutsho ngolawulo olungqongqo.

Kananjalo iphethe neziqhamo zomsebenzi wayo;

ewe, ihamba nebuyambo lemigudu yayo.

₁₁Yona njengomalusi iyawulondoloza umhlambi;

amatakane iwaqokelela iwafunqule,

ke zona ezanyisayo izithundeze.

₁₂Ngubani okhe alinganise amanzi ngethende lesandla,

okanye olinganisa isibhakabhaka ngesandla?

Mlinganiselo mni ongavalela uthuli lomhlaba,

isisiphi isikali sokulinganisa iinduli neentaba?

₁₃Ngubani ongaze amazi ncam uNdikhoyo,

ingubani khona omcebisayo?

₁₄Kakade uThixo lo ubhenela kubani,

ingubani ongamfundisa okusesikweni?

Ngubani ke omphokozela ulwazi,

aze ambonise indlela yobulumko?

₁₅Ngenene izizwe zifana nethontsi lamanzi ethungeni,

nqwa nothuli azivakali nasesikalini;

neziqithi ngokukwanjalo.

₁₆Amahlathi aseLebhanon akawanele umlilo,

neenyamakazi zakhona azilanele idini elitshiswayo.

₁₇Izizwe zonke azinto kuThixo;

yena akazazele nto konke-konke.

₁₈Angalinganiswa nabani na uThixo?

Khona, angafanekiswa nantoni?

₁₉Akafani nomfanekiso oqingqwa yingcibi,

uze utyatyekwe ngegolide ngumnyibilikisi,

uhonjiswe ngamakhonkco esiliva.

₂₀Ihlwempu elingenasiliva nagolide

lithatha umthi ongàdliwayo yimpehla,

lifune ichule lomchweli,

lona loqingqa umfanekiso ongashukumiyo.

₂₁Ngaba anazi na?

Ngaba zange nive na?

Zange nixelelwe na kwamandulo?

Anikuqaphelanga ukusekwa kwehlabathi?

₂₂Kaloku ladalwa ngulo ungqendeve esihlalweni

emajukujukwini ngaphaya kwesibhakabhaka;

kuye uluntu olu lunjengentothoviyane.

Ngumtwabululi-sibhakabhaka njengomkhusane,

asaneke njengentente yokuhlala.

₂₃Iinkosi uzitsho zigqush' eluthulini,

izithwala-ndwe azivuthulule zingabi nto yanto.

₂₄Zithi zingekatyalwa nokutyalwa,

ewe, zingekamili nokumila oku,

suka azibhudle ngomoya zibune,

isaqhwithi simke nazo njengomququ.

₂₅“Ngubani ke eningandilinganisa naye,

ingubani endingade ndifane naye?”

Uyabuza uThixo onguYedwa.

₂₆Khawujonge phezulu esibhakabhakeni;

zidalwe ngubani ezi zinto?

Lo uzikhokela njengomkhosi iinkwenkwezi

yena uyalazi nenani lazo.

Uzibiza ngamagama zonke ngazinye;

ewe, akanganganto amandla akhe,

ngoko akunakulahleka nob' ibe nye.

₂₇Ngani ke, Yakobi, ukuba ukhalaze,

nditsho wena, Sirayeli, ukuba uthi:

“UNdikhoyo akabuqondi ubume bam;

uThixo wam akandazeleleli nganto”?

₂₈Kanti ngaba awazi na?

Ngaba zange uve na?

UNdikhoyo nguThixo onguSonini-nanini;

yena ngumdali wehlabathi jikelele.

Yena soze adinwe atyhafe,

nengqiqo yakhe ayiphengululeki.

₂₉Yena ngumhlaziyi wâbo batyhafileyo,

umomelezi wâbo bangenamandla.

₃₀Kanti ke nolutsha luyadinwa lutyhafe,

abafana bakhubeke bawe,

₃₁kambe ke bona abakholosa ngoNdikhoyo

bosuka bahlaziyeke bomelele.

Bosuka bantinge baxel' ukhozi;

noba sebebaleka, soze badinwe;

ewe, baya kuhamba bangaze batyhafe.

₁“Yithini cwaka niphulaphule, ziqith' ezikude;

lungelani ukuxoxa, nina zizwe.

Sondelani nizithethelele;

yizani ke sihlangane, sinik' isigwebo.

₂“Ngubani lo uqhway' iqhaji empumalanga,

lo ulinik' indwe konke nje jikelele?

Nguban' olenza loyis' izizwe nezikumkani,

omkhonto wakh' uzenza zifane nothuli?

Iintolo zakhe zibatsho bathi saa,

basarhake okomququ emoyeni.

₃Libasukelisa libaleqe lula nje.

Asimendu! Ntaka yakwabani!

₄Yaz'ba ngubani na umphembi wale ntlekele?

Ngubani owasimiselayo esi sishiqi?

Mna *Ndikhoyo, yaba ndim kwasekuqaleni;

ewe, yoba isendim nasekugqibeleni.”

₅Iziqith' ezikude nazo zibonile;

ewe, iziphelo zomhlaba zitsho zarhwaqela zangcangcazela.

Nâzo ziqokelelana zisiza.

₆Ziyancedana esinye nesinye;

ewe, zikhuthazana ngelithi: “Yomelelani!”

₇Umchweli ukhuthaza umnyibilikisi,

nàlo ugudisa umfanekiso ukhuthaza lo uwudibanisayo.

Uthi: “Hayi, ngunonca!”

Batsho babethelele isikhonkwane, uqine nkqi umfanekiso.

₈“Ke wena, sicaka sam Sirayeli,

nditsho wena, ndlu kaYakobi,

wena uluhlanga endilunyulileyo,

uyinzala yesihlobo sam uAbraham.

₉Ndakulanda eziphelweni zehlabathi,

ndakubiza kwiindawo ezisekudeni,

ndaza ndathi: ‘Usisicaka sam.’

Andikubukulanga; ndakunyula.

₁₀Ngoko ke ndinawe, sukoyika;

ndinguThixo wakho, sukuphakuzela.

Ndiza kukomeleza ndikusize,

amandla am asindisayo akuxhase akukhusele.

₁₁“Ke bona abo bakusunduzayo baya kuhlaziswa;

ewe, abakulwayo soze babe nto.

₁₂Iintshaba zakho uya kuzifuna,

kambe ke sobe uzifumane.

Abalwa nawe bophel' emehlweni.

₁₃Mna ndinguNdikhoyo, uThixo wakho;

ndokugcina ndikomeleze,

ndithi kuwe: ‘Sukuphaphazela, ndiza kukunceda.’

₁₄“Ewe, mna Ndikhoyo ndithi:

‘Ubuthathak' unjalo, Yakobi,

nimbalwa ninjalo, Sirayeli,

kodwa sukoyika, ndiza kukusiza.

Mna Yedwa, Thixo kaSirayeli,

ndim okukhululayo.’

₁₅Ndokutsh' ube ngathi usisileyi sokubhula

esinangayiway' amazinyo amatsha.

Wozicol' iintaba uzivuthulule,

iinduli uzicole zibe luthuli.

₁₆Uya kuzijiwuza emoyeni,

ke won' umoya uzitsho ziphephetheke;

uqhwithelo lozithatha lumke nazo.

Ke wena utsho wonwatyiswe nguNdikhoyo,

undidumise mna Yedwa kaSirayeli.

₁₇“Abahlelelekileyo bam bofuna amanzi bancame;

sebekhothekile bona lunxano.

Ke mna Ndikhoyo ndosisabela isikhalo sabo –

mna Thixo kaSirayeli soze ndibalahle.

₁₈Ndogqabhuz' imilambo emqwebedini,

kutsho kumpompoz' imithomb' ezintilini,

intlango ndiyijike ibe yimigxobhozo,

umqwebedu utsho unkcenkcez' amanzi.

₁₉Entlango kokhul' imisedare,

ibe ngumngampunzi, umnquma, nemetile.

Elibharhileyo lokhula ipayini,

isipresi, nomgalagala.

₂₀Boyibona abantu le nto baqonde,

baqaphele bazi,

bathi nguNdikhoyo lo uyenzileyo.

Ewe ngenene, botsho baqonde ukuba oku kudalwe nguYedwa kaSirayeli.”

₂₁“Nina *zithixo zeentlanga, ethe ubungqina benu;” utsho *uNdikhoyo.

Ewe, uKumkani kaSirayeli uthi: “Khaniyibeke apha ingxoxo yenu, sive.

₂₂Yizani kaloku, xelani izinto ezizayo;

chazelan' inkundla iziganeko zamandulo;

ewe, zichazeni nentsingiselo yazo.

₂₃Khanisixelele ngekamva kaloku;

khona nathi sotsho sithi ningoothixo.

Yenzani noba yentle okanye ebuhlungu;

nathi sitsho sirhwaqele, soyike.

₂₄Okokwenu nina niyinkunkuma,

nemisebenzi yenu yimfitshi-mfitshi.

Bangamasikizi abo banichongayo.

₂₅“Ke mna ndixhokonxe umfo wasentla; uyeza –

ondihloniphayo nanko evela empumalanga.

Iziphathamandla uzixovula ngathi ludongwe,

ngathi ngumbumbi exonxa udongwe.

₂₆Le nto ngubani oyazise kwantlandlolo kuni,

owasilumkisayo ukuze siningqinele?

Akukho namnye wakha wayixela,

engekho nowakha wayithi thupha.

₂₇Ndim mna kuqala owayixelelayo iZiyon,

ndathi: ‘Nâbo besiza.’

Ndathumela isigidimi eJerusalem,

umvakalisi weendaba ezimnandi.

₂₈Ndakuzikhangela ke izithixo ezo

zonke ndifika zisik' umlomo,

kungekho nasinye sinako ukundiphendula.

₂₉Zonke ziyimfeketho nje.

Hayi, azinakwenza nto mpela-mpela;

ngamabhetye-bhetye nje emifanekiso.”
