udeleleke kakhulu.

₃Ukuzidla kwenhliziyo yakho kukukhohlisile

wena ohlezi emifantwini yamawa,

ondawo yakho yokuhlala iphakeme,

Ngubani ongangehlisela phansi na?

₄Noma uphakama njengokhozi,

kubekwe isidleke sakho phakathi kwezinkanyezi,

ngiyakukwehlisa khona,” usho uJehova.

₅“Uma amasela efika kuwe,

nabaphangi ebusuku yeka ukuchithwa kwakho

bebengayikweba baze baneliswe na?

Uma abavuna izithelo zomvini befika kuwe,

bebengayikushiya umkhothozo na?

₆Yeka ukufunisiswa kuka-Esawu,

yeka ukuphenywa kwamagugu akhe afihliweyo!

₇Bonke abantu besivumelwano sakho bayakukuxosha emkhawulweni;

abantu ababehlalisana nawe ngokuthula bayakukukhohlisa,

bakwahlule;

abadla isinkwa sakho bayakubeka ugibe phansi kwakho;

akakho oluqondayo.

₈“Angithi ngiyakuchitha abahlakaniphileyo kwa-Edomi

ngalolo suku,” usho uJehova,

“nokuqonda entabeni yakwa-Esawu, na?

₉Amaqhawe akho, Themani,

ayakuphela amandla,

ukuze yilowo nalowo anqunywe entabeni yakwa-Esawu ngokubulawa.

₁₀Ngenxa yendluzula eyenziwa kumfowenu uJakobe,

ngosuku abafokazi abasusa ngalo imfuyo yakhe,

nabezizwe bangena ngamasango akhe,

benza inkatho ngeJerusalema,

nawe wawunjengomunye wabo.

₁₂Kepha ungabheki usuku lomfowenu ngosuku lobufokazi bakhe,

ungathokozi ngabantwana bakwaJuda ngosuku lokuchithwa kwabo,

ungaqhalazi ngosuku losizi.

₁₃Ungangeni ngesango labantu bami ngosuku lwesigemegeme sabo,

ungabheki ukuhlupheka kwabo ngosuku lwesigemegeme sabo,

ningabeki sandla emfuyweni yabo ngosuku lwesigemegeme sabo.

₁₄Ungemi enhlanganweni yezindlela ukunquma abaphunyukileyo bakhe,

ungakhapheli abaseleyo bakhe ngosuku losizi.

₁₅“Ngokuba usuku lukaJehova lusondele

ezizweni zonke;

njengokwenza kwakho kuyakwenziwa kanjalo kuwe;

izenzo zakho ziyakubuyela ekhanda lakho.

₁₆Ngokuba njengalokho niphuzile entabeni yami engcwele,

bayakuphuza kanjalo bonke abezizwe,

baphuze, bagwinye,

babe njengokungathi abazange babe khona.

₁₇Kepha entabeni yaseSiyoni kuyakuba khona abasindayo,

ibe ngcwele,

nendlu yakwaJakobe iyakudla ifa layo.

₁₈Indlu yakwaJakobe iyakuba ngumlilo,

indlu kaJosefa ibe yilangabi,

indlu ka-Esawu ibe ngamabibi,

bawashise, bawaqede;

akuyikubakho oseleyo endlini ka-Esawu,”

ngokuba uJehova ukhulumile.

₁₉Abaseningizimu bayakudla ifa lentaba yakwa-Esawu,

nabasehlanzeni ifa lamaFilisti,

badle ifa lezwe lakwa-Efrayimi nezwe laseSamariya,

uBenjamini adle iGileyadi.

₂₀Abathunjwa bale mpi yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli

abaphakathi kwamaKhanani kuze kube seSarefati

nabathunjwa baseJerusalema abaseSefaradi

bayakudla ifa lemizi yaseningizimu.

₂₁Abasindisi bayakukhuphukela entabeni yaseSiyoni

ukuyakwahlulela intaba yakwa-Esawu,

umbuso besewuba ngokaJehova.

₁Duduzani, nibaduduze abantu bami,

₂Qungani iJerusalema isibindi,

nimemeze kulo ukuthi ukulwa kwalo sekuphelile

nokuthi buhlanguliwe ububi balo,

ngazo zonke izono zalo.

₃Izwi liyamemeza lithi:

“Lungisani ehlane indlela kaJehova,

nihlelembe oqwathuleni umgwaqo

kaNkulunkulu wethu.

₄Zonke izigodi ziyakuphakanyiswa,

zonke izintaba namagquma kuyakwehliswa;

amagebhugebhu ayakuhlelenjwa,

nemigoxigoxi iyakuba yithafa.

₅Inkazimulo kaJehova iyakubonakaliswa,

yonke inyama ikubone kanyekanye,

ngokuba umlomo kaJehova ukhulumile.”

₆Izwi liyakhuluma lithi: “Memeza!”

Ngathi: “Ngiyakumemezani na?”

Inyama yonke ingutshani,

bonke ubuhle bayo bunjengembali yasendle.

₇Utshani buyabuna,

ngokuba umoya kaJehova uyaphephetha kukho.

Impela abantu bangutshani.

₈Utshani buyabuna,

inkokhelo yayo iphambi kwayo.

₁₁Iyakwalusa umhlambi wayo njengomalusi,

iwagone esifubeni sayo,

ihole kahle izindlezane.

ukuthi isandla sikaJehova sikwenzile lokhu

nokuthi oNgcwele ka-Israyeli wakudala.

₂₁“Lethani indaba yenu,” usho uJehova,

“nisondeze izizathu zenu,” isho iNkosi kaJakobe.

akakho phakathi kwabo umluleki

ongaphendula ngazwi,

lapho ngibabuzayo.

₂₉Bheka, bayize bonke;

imisebenzi yabo ayiyinto yalutho,

nezithombe zabo ezibunjiweyo zingumoya nokuyize.
