Bible Reading Plan – Day 166

₁Yizwani leli zwi,

nina zinkomo zaseBashani

enisentabeni yaseSamariya,

enicindezela abaphansi,

enichoboza abampofu,

enithi emakhosini enu: “Lethani, siphuze.”

₂INkosi uJehova ifungile ubungcwele bayo

ukuthi: “Bhekani, izinsuku ziyakunehlela

lapho niyakususwa ngezingwegwe,

nabaseleyo kini ngezindobo.

₃Niyakuphuma emifantwini,

kube yilowo nalowo ngoqondene naye,

nilahlwe eHermoni,” usho uJehova.

₄“Wozani eBethele, niphambeke,

naseGiligali, nandise iziphambeko,

nilethe imihlatshelo yenu ekuseni njalo,

nokweshumi kwenu kanye ngezinsuku ezintathu,

₅nishise umnikelo wokubonga ngokuvutshelweyo,

nimemezele iminikelo yesihle,

niyizwakalise,

ngokuba nithanda kanjalo,

bantwana bakwa-Israyeli,” isho iNkosi uJehova.

₆“Mina nganinika ukuhlanzeka kwamazinyo emizini yenu yonke

nokuswela isinkwa kuzo zonke izindawo zenu,

kepha anibuyelanga kimi,” usho uJehova.

₇“Futhi ngagodla kini imvula,

kusasele izinyanga ezintathu ukuba kuvunwe,

ngalinisa phezu komunye umuzi,

komunye umuzi angilinisanga;

esinye isiqephu saniselwa,

nesiqephu esinganiselwanga sasha.

₈Kwase kuhamba imizi emibili noma emithathu,

yaya komunye umuzi ukuyophuza amanzi,

kodwa ayaneliswanga;

kepha nokho anibuyelanga kimi,” usho uJehova.

₉“Nganishaya ngokuhamuka nesikhutha;

izivande zenu, nezivini zenu,

nemikhiwane yenu,

neminqumo yenu eminingi

kwadliwa yisibotho,

kepha nokho anibuyelanga kimi,” usho uJehova.

₁₀“Nganithumela isifo ngendlela yaseGibithe,

ngazibulala izinsizwa zenu ngenkemba,

ngathumba amahhashi enu,

ngenza ukuba ukunuka kwekamu* lenu

kukhuphukele nasemakhaleni enu,

kepha nokho anibuyelanga kimi,” usho uJehova.

₁₁“Nganichitha njengalokho

uNkulunkulu achitha iSodoma neGomora;

naninjengesikhuni esophulwe emlilweni,

kepha nokho anibuyelanga kimi,” usho uJehova.

₁₂“Ngalokho ngiyakwenze njalo kuwe Israyeli;

njengokuba ngiyakwenza lokhu kuwe,

zilungiselele ukuhlangana noNkulunkulu wakho, Israyeli.”

₁₃Ngokuba bheka, owabumba izintaba,

nowawudala umoya,

otshela umuntu umqondo wakhe,

owenza ukusa kube ngubumnyama,

onyathela ezindaweni eziphakemeyo zomhlaba,

igama lakhe linguJehova,

uNkulunkulu Sebawoti.

₂“Iwile intombi yakwa-Israyeli,

ayisayikuvuka;

iphonsiwe phansi,

akakho ongayivusa.”

“Umuzi owaphuma uyinkulungwane uyakushiya ikhulu,

nowaphuma uyikhulu uyakushiya ishumi kuyo indlu yakwa-Israyeli.”

“Ngifuneni, niphile.

₅Kepha ningalifuni iBethele,

ningangeni eGiligali,

ningadluleli eBeri Sheba,

ngokuba iGiligali liyakuthunjwa nokuthunjwa,

neBethele liyakuba yize.”

₆Funani uJehova, niphile,

funa afikele indlu kaJosefa njengomlilo,

udle, kungekho owucimayo eBethele.

₇Nina enihlanekezela ukwahlulela kube ngumhlonyane,

nilahle phansi ukulunga;

₈nimfune owenza isiLimela neMpambano,

ophendula ithunzi lokufa libe ngukusa,

ayenze imini ibe mnyama njengobusuku,

obiza amanzi olwandle,

awathululele ebusweni bomhlaba nguJehova igama lakhe

₉owenza ukuchitha ukuba kunyazime phezu kwabanamandla,

nencithakalo ukuba yehlele izinqaba.

₁₀Bayamzonda ofakazela ukulunga esangweni; okhuluma ubuqotho

banengwa nguye.

₁₁Ngalokho,

ngokuba ninyathela abampofu,

namukele kuye isipho samabele,

noma nakha izindlu ngamatshe abaziweyo

aniyikuhlala kuzo,

nokuba nitshala izivini ezinhle

aniyikuphuza iwayini lazo.

₁₂Ngokuba ngiyazi ukuthi iziphambeko zenu ziningi

nokuthi izono zenu zinkulu,

nina enicindezela abalungileyo,

namukela umvuzo,

nenichezukisa abampofu esangweni.

₁₃Ngalokho ohlakaniphileyo uyakuthula ngaleso sikhathi,

ngokuba kuyisikhathi esibi lesi.

₁₄Funani okuhle, hhayi okubi,

ukuze niphile,

abe nani uJehova uNkulunkulu Sebawoti kanjalo,

njengalokhu nisho.

₁₅Zondani okubi, nithande okuhle,

nimise ukwahlulela esangweni;

mhlawumbe uJehova uNkulunkulu Sebawoti uyakuba nomusa

kuyo insali yakwaJosefa.

“Ezigcawini zonke kuyakuba khona ukukhala,

nakuzo zonke izitaladi bayakusho ukuthi:

‘Maye, maye!’

babize umlimi ukuba akhale,

nabaziyo izililo ukuba balile;

₁₇nakuzo zonke izivini kuyakuba khona ukukhala,

ngokuba ngiyakudlula phakathi kwakho,” usho uJehova.

₁₈Wo kinina enifisa usuku lukaJehova!

Luyakunisizani usuku lukaJehova?

Lungubumnyama, alusikho ukukhanya.

₁₉Kunjengalokhu umuntu ebalekela ingonyama,

kuhlangane naye ibhere,*

noma engena endlini

encike ngesandla odongeni,

alunywe yinyoka.

₂₀Lungubumyama usuku lukaJehova,

alusikho ukukhanya,

nesigayegaye okungekho kuso ukukhazimula.

₂₁“Ngiyayizonda, ngiyayidelela imikhosi yenu,

angenameli imihlangano yenu.

₂₂Noma ninikela kimi ngeminikelo yenu

yokushiswa kanye neminikelo yenu yempuphu,

angiyenameli, futhi angibheki

iminikelo yenu yokubonga yamathole akhuluphalisiweyo.

₂₃Susa kimi umsindo wezihlabelelo zakho,

angiyikuzwa imvunge yezingubhu zakho.

₂₄Kepha ukwahlulela makugobhoze njengamanzi,

nokulunga njengomfula onganqamukiyo.

₂₅“Naletha kimi imihlatshelo neminikelo yempuphu ehlane

iminyaka engamashumi amane, nina ndlu ka-Israyeli, na?

₂₆Seniyakuthwala uSakuti inkosi yenu

noKhewani inkanyezi kankulunkulu wenu,

izithombe zenu enizenzele zona.

₂₇Ngiyakunenza ukuba nithunjelwe ngaphesheya kweDamaseku,”

usho uJehova ogama lakhe linguNkulunkulu Sebawoti.

₁Wo kwabazinzileyo eSiyoni,

nabalondekile entabeni yaseSamariya,

abaqhamileyo besokuqala sezizwe,

efika kubo indlu yakwa-Israyeli!

₂Dlulelani eKaline, nibone;

nisuke lapho, niye eHamati elikhulu,

bese nehlela eGati lamaFilisti;

bahle kunale mibuso yini,

umkhawulo wabo mkhulu kunomkhawulo wenu na?

₃nina enidedisela kude usuku olubi,

kepha nisondezile isihlalo sobudlova.

₄Balele emibhedeni yophondo lwendlovu,

bacambalala ezinkukhweni zabo;

badla amawundlu omhlambi

namathole avela phakathi kwesibaya.

₅Bahaya ngomsindo wogubhu,

baziqambela izinto zokubethwa njengoDavide.

₆Baphuza imikhele yewayini,

bazigcoba ngamafutha amahle,

kepha abadabuki ngokuchithwa kukaJosefa.

₇Ngalokho sebeyakuthunjwa phakathi kwabokuqala abathunjwayo,

kusuke ukuxokozela kwabacambalalayo.

“Ngiyanengwa ngukuzidla kukaJakobe,

ngizonda izindlu zakhe zamakhosi;

ngiyakukhaphela umuzi nokugcwala kwawo.”

₁₁Ngokuba bhekani,

uJehova uyayaleza:

uyakushaya indlu enkulu ibe yizihlephu,

nendlu encane ibe yizingcezu.

₁₂Amahhashi ayagijima emadwaleni,

kulinywa elwandle ngezinkabi, na?

Ngokuba niphendulile ukwahlulela kwaba yisihlungu,

nezithelo zokulunga zaba ngumhlonyane,

₁₃nina enithokoza ngento engelutho,

nithi: “Asizithathelanga izimpondo ngamandla ethu na?”

₁₄“Ngokuba bhekani, ngiyakunivusela isizwe

nina ndlu ka-Israyeli,” usho uJehova uNkulunkulu Sebawoti;

“bayakunicindezela kusukela ekuyeni eHamati

kuze kube semfuleni wase-Araba.”
