Bible Reading Plan – Day 180

“Impela njengokulinganisa kwami kuyakuba njalo,

nanjengokunquma kwami

kuyakuma kanjalo

₂₅ukuthi ngiyakumaphula owase-Asiriya ezweni lami,

ngimnyathele phansi ezintabeni zami;

bese lisuka kubo ijoka lakhe,

nomthwalo wakhe usuke emahlombe abo.”

₂₆Yilesi esiyisinqumo esinqunyiwe emhlabeni wonke;

yilesi esiyisandla eseluliwe phezu kwezizwe zonke.

₂₇Ngokuba uJehova Sebawoti unqumile;

ngubani ongakuchitha na?

Isandla sakhe singeseluliweyo;

ngubani ongasibuyisa na?

₂₉Ungathokozi wena Filistiya lonke

ngokuthi intonga ekushayileyo yaphukile,

ngokuba empandeni yenyoka kuyakuphuma ibululu,

nenzalo yalo iyakuba yinyoka endizayo.

₃₀Amazibulo abampofu ayakuklaba,

nabaswelayo bayakulala belondekile;

ngiyakubulala impande yakho ngendlala,

nensali yakho iyakubhujiswa.

₃₁Klewula wena sango,

dazuluka wena muzi,

phela amandla wena Filistiya lonke!

Ngokuba enyakatho kuvela umusi;

akakho oyakwahlukana nebutho lakhe.

₃₂Izithunywa zesizwe ziyakuphendulwa ngokuthini na?

Ukuthi nguJehova obeke isisekelo eSiyoni;

abahluphekayo babantu bakhe bayakuphephela kulo.

Impela ebusuku bunye i-Ari Mowabi linqotshiwe,

lichithekile;

impela ebusuku bunye iKhiri Mowabi linqotshiwe,

lichithekile.

₂Bayakhuphukela ethempelini;

iDiboni lenyukela ezindaweni eziphakemeyo ukuyokhala;

uMowabi uyaklewula eNebo naseMedeba;

onke amakhanda ayizimpandlana,

zonke izilevu ziphuculiwe.

₃Ezitaladini zabo bayabhinca indwangu yamasaka,

nasophahleni lwabo nasezigcawini zabo

bayaklewula bonke,

bamululeka izinyembezi.

₄IHeshiboni liyadazuluka kanye ne-Elehale;

izwi labo lizwakala kuze kube naseJahasi;

ngalokho amabutho akwaMowabi ayakhamuluka,

umphefumulo wakhe uyathuthumela phakathi kwakhe.

₅Inhliziyo yami ikhalela uMowabi;

ababalekileyo bakhe bayabalekela eSora,

nase Egila Shelishiya;

yebo, nasegqumeni laseLuhithe bakhuphukela bekhala,

nasendleleni eya eHoronayimi,

bephakamisa izwi lokudazuluka.

₆Ngokuba amanzi aseNimrimi ayincithakalo,

notshani buyoma, uhlaza luyaphela,

akusekho okuluhlaza.

₇Ngalokho okuseleyo abakutholileyo, nemfuyo yabo,

bakuwelisa uMfula Weminyezane.

₈Ngokuba ukukhala kuzungeze imikhawulo yakwaMowabi,

nokuklewula kwakhe kuze kube se-Egelayimi,

nokububula kwakhe kuze kube seBeri Elimi.

₉Ngokuba amanzi aseDimoni agcwele igazi;

yebo, ngiyakwehlisela iDimoni nokunye:

ingonyama phezu kwabasindileyo bakwaMowabi,

insali yezwe.

₁Thumani amawundlu ombusi wezwe

aphume eSela ngasehlane,

aye entabeni yendodakazi yaseSiyoni.

₂Kuyakuthi njengezinyoni ezizulazulayo,

njengamaphuphu ahlakazekileyo,

abe njalo amadodakazi akwaMowabi

emazibukweni ase-Arinoni.

₃“Lulekanani, nenze izinqumo,

ubeke isithunzi sakho njengobusuku

phakathi kwemini,

nithukuse abaxoshiweyo,

ningadaluli ababalekileyo.

₄Abaxoshiweyo bakwaMowabi mabahlale kuwe;

mawube yisivikelo kubo ebusweni bomchithi.”

Lapho umcindezeli esephelile,

nokuchitha sekuyekiwe,

nabanyathelayo sebeqediwe ezweni,

₅kuyakumiswa isihlalo sobukhosi ngomusa,

kuhlale kuso ngeqiniso

etendeni likaDavide

umahluleli ofuna ukwahlulela esheshisa ukulunga.

₆Sizwile ngokuziphakamisa kukaMowabi

ukuthi uphakeme kakhulu,

nangokuzidla kwakhe

nokuziqhenya kwakhe nentukuthelo yakhe

nokuphafuza kwakhe okuzenzisayo.

₇Ngalokho uMowabi uyaklewula ngoMowabi;

bonke bayakuklewula.

Niyakukhala ngezigaxa zezithelo zomvini

ezomileyo zaseKhiri Haresheti

nidabukile kakhulu.

₈Ngokuba amasimu aseHeshiboni abunile

kanye nomvini waseSibima;

amakhosi ezizwe achithile amagatsha awo;

afinyelela naseJazeri, edukela nasehlane;

amahlumela awo elulwa,

awela ulwandle.

₉Ngalokho ngiyakukhalela umvini waseSibima

njengokukhala kweJazeri,

ngikumanzise, Heshiboni, ngezinyembezi zami,

nawe Elehale,

ngokuba phezu kwezithelo zakho nokuvuna kwakho

kuwile ukumemeza kwempi.

₁₀Ukuthokoza kususiwe kanye nokujabula ensimini;

nasezivinini akuhlatshelelwa, akujatshulwa;

abanyathelayo abalinyatheli iwayini ezikhamweni;

ngenze ukuba kuphele ukumemeza.

₁₁Ngalokho inhliziyo yami

iyakhala njengehabhu* ngoMowabi,

nokuphakathi kwami ngeKhiri Heresi.

₁₂Kuyakuthi lapho uMowabi esebonakala,

azikhathaze endaweni ephakemeyo,

aye endlini yakhe engcwele ukuba athandaze,

angaphumeleli.

“IDamaseku liyakususwa,

lingabe lisaba ngumuzi,

libe yinxiwa nencithakalo

₂eshiyiwe kuze kube phakade,

neyakuba ngeyemihlambi ebuthisa khona,

ingesatshiswa muntu.

₃Inqaba iyakuphela kwa-Efrayimi,

nombuso eDamaseku,

nensali e-Aramu,

kube njengodumo lwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli,”

usho uJehova Sebawoti.

₄“Kuyakuthi ngalolo suku

udumo luka Jakobe lube buthakathaka,

kuzace ukukhuluphala kwenyama yakhe.

₅Kuyakuba njengomvuni ovuna amabele asemi

nengalo yakhe evuna izikhwebu,

kube njengokukha izikhwebu esiGodini samaRefa.

₆Kepha umkhothozo uyakusala khona njengokushaywa kweminqumo:

izithelo ezimbili noma ezintathu enhlokweni phezulu,

ezine noma eziyisihlanu emagatsheni omuthi,”

usho uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.

₇Ngalolo suku abantu bayakumbheka uMenzi wabo,

namehlo abo ayakumbuka oNgcwele ka-Israyeli.

₈Abayikubheka ama-altare abo,

umsebenzi wezandla zabo,

bangabuki okwenziwe yiminwe yabo,

o-Ashera* nama-altare empepho.

₁₀Ngokuba ukhohliwe uNkulunkulu wokusindiswa kwakho,

awukhumbulanga idwala lamandla akho;

ngalokho noma utshala izithombo ezimnandi,

uhlwanyele amahlumela angaziwayo,

₁₁ngosuku lokutshala kwakho,

lapho ubiyela,

nangokusa kokuhlwanyela kwakho,

lapho wenza ukuba kuqhakaze,

ukuvuna kuyakubaleka ngosuku losizi

nolobuhlungu obungenakupholiswa.

₁₂Wo kukho ukuhlokoma kwezizwe eziningi

ezihlokoma njengokuhlokoma kwezilwandle,

nomsindo wokuxokozela kwabezizwe

abaxokozela njengokuxokozela kwamanzi amaningi.

₁₃Izizwe ziyaxokozela njengokuxokozela kwamanzi amaningi,

kodwa uyakuzisola, zibalekele kude,

zixoshwe njengamakhoba asezintabeni phambi komoya,

nothuli olushwilayo phambi kwesiphepho.

₁₄Ngesikhathi sokuhlwa, bheka, yingebhe;

kungakasi azisekho.

Yilesi esiyisabelo sabasiphangayo,

nenkatho yabasamukayo.

₁Wo kuwena lizwe lokuhashaza kwamaphiko

eliphesheya komfula waseKushe,

₂elithuma izigijimi ngolwandle

nangemikhumbi yemihlanga phezu kwamanzi.

Hambani nina zithunywa ezinejubane,

niye esizweni esidephileyo nesikhazimulayo,

kubantu abesabekayo lapha nasekudeni,

isizwe esinamandla amakhulu nesinyathelayo,

esilizwe laso lidatshulwe yimifula.

₃Nonke nina enakhileyo ezweni

nani nonke enihlezi emhlabeni

bhekani, lapho ibhanela* liphakanyiswa ezintabeni;

zwanini, lapho icilongo libethwa.

₄Ngokuba uJehova ushilo kimi kanje, wathi:

“Ngiyakubheka ngithule, ngisendaweni yami,

njengokubalela okukhazimula ekukhanyeni kwelanga,

njengefu lamazolo ekufudumaleni ngesikhathi sokuvuna.”

₅Ngokuba kungakafiki ukuvuna,

nokukhahlela sekuphelile,

nembali isiphenduka isithelo esivuthiweyo,

uyakunquma amahlumela ngawocelemba,

awasike amagatsha, awasuse.

₆Ayakushiywa ndawonye abe ngawamanqe asezintabeni

nawezilwane zasemhlabeni;

amanqe ayakuhlala ehlobo phezu kwawo,

nazo zonke izilwane zomhlaba

ziyakuhlala ebusika phezu kwawo.

₇Ngaleso sikhathi kuyakulethwa isipho kuJehova Sebawoti

yibo abantu abadephileyo nabakhazimulayo,

sivela kubantu abesabekayo lapha nasekudeni,

isizwe esinamandla amakhulu nesinyathelayo,

esilizwe laso lidatshulwe yimifula,

endaweni yegama likaJehova Sebawoti,

intaba yaseSiyoni.
