Isiprofetho ngeTire

1Kwathi ngomnyaka weshumi nanye ngolokuqala lwenyanga izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi: 2“Ndodana yomuntu, ngenxa yokuba iTire lishilo ngeJerusalema ukuthi: ‘Ashila; laphukile ebe liyisango labantu; seliphendukele kimi; ngiyakugcwala lapho selichithekile,’ 3ngalokho isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Bheka, ngiphezu kwakho, Tire; ngiyakwenyusela kuwe izizwe eziningi njengolwandle lukhuphula amaza alo. 4Ziyakuchitha izingange zaseTire, zibhidlize imibhoshongo yalo; ngiyakukhukhuza umhlabathi walo kulo, ngilenze idwala eliyinyabule. 5Liyakuba yindawo yokweneka amanetha phakathi kolwandle, ngokuba mina ngikukhulumile, isho iNkosi uJehova; liyakuba yimpango yezizwe. 6Amadodakazi alo asendle ayakubulawa ngenkemba, bazi ukuthi nginguJehova.

7“Ngokuba isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Bheka, ngiyakuyisa eTire uNebukadinesari inkosi yaseBabele, evela enyakatho, eyinkosi yamakhosi, enamahhashi, nezinqola, nabamahhashi, nesixuku sabantu abaningi. 8Uyakubulala amadodakazi akho endle ngenkemba, enze inqaba ngakuwe, akunqwabele iduli, akumisele ihawu. 9Uyakubekisa izinqama zakhe zokungqubuza ezingangeni zakho, abhidlize imibhoshongo yakho ngamazembe akhe. 10Ngenxa yobuningi bamahhashi akhe ibhuqu lawo liyakukusibekela, izingange zakho zizamazame ngomdumo wabamahhashi, nowokunamasondo, nowezinqola, lapho engena esangweni lakho njengalokhu kungenwa emzini ofohliweyo. 11Ngezinselo zamahhashi akhe uyakunyathela zonke izitaladi zakho, abulale abantu bakho ngenkemba, kuwe phansi izinsika zemandla akho. 12Bayakuphanga imfuyo yakho, bagcugce impahla yakho ethengiswayo, babhidlize izingange zakho, badilize izindlu zakho ezinhle, babeke amatshe akho nemithi yakho nesihlabathi sakho phakathi kwamanzi. 13Ngiyakwenza ukuba isiho sezihlabelelo zakho siphele, nezwi lamahabhu* akho alisayikuzwakala. 14Ngiyakukwenza idwala eliyinyabule, ube yindawo yokweneka amanetha; awusayikwakhiwa, ngokuba mina Jehova ngikukhulumile, isho iNkosi uJehova.

15“Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova kulo iTire, ithi: Ngomdumo wokuwa kwakho, lapho abagwaziweyo bebubula nabafayo bebulawa phakathi kwakho, iziqhingi ziyakuzamazama. 16Zonke izikhulu zolwandle ziyakwehla ezihlalweni zazo zobukhosi, zikhumule izingubo zazo, zihlubule izambatho zazo ezifekethisiweyo, zembathe ukuthuthumela, zihlale emhlabathini, zithuthumele njalonjalo, zimangale ngawe. 17Ziyakwenza isililiselo ngawe, zithi kuwe:

“Yeka ukuchitheka kwakho,

wena owahlalwa ngabasolwandle,

muzi odumileyo,

owawunamandla olwandle,

wena nabakhileyo kuwe,

owenza ukuba besatshwe bonke abakhileyo kuwe.

18Manje iziqhingi ziyakuzamazama ngosuku lokuwa kwakho;

iziqhingi ezisolwandle ziyakuphela amandla

ngokumuka kwakho.

19“Ngokuba isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Lapho ngiyakukwenza umuzi ochithekileyo njengemizi engahlalwayo, nalapho ngiyakukhuphulela utwa phezu kwakho, amanzi amaningi akusibekele, 20ngiyakukwehlisa nabehlela egodini, kubantu basendulo, ngikuhlalise ekujuleni komhlaba kanye nabehlela egodini njengasezindaweni ezichithekileyo kwasendulo, ukuze ungahlalwa, ngisabeka udumo ezweni labaphilayo. 21Ngiyakukwenza incithakalo, ungabe usabakho; uyakufunwa, kepha awusayikufunyanwa kuze kube phakade, isho iNkosi uJehova.”

5Umphefumulo wami uyakusutha kungathi ngamanoni namafutha;

umlomo wami uyakudumisa ngezindebe ezethabayo.

6Nxa ngikukhumbula ecansini lami,

ngizindla ngawe emilindweni yasebusuku.

7Ngokuba ungisizile;

ngiyakwethaba ethunzini lamaphiko akho.

8Umphefumulo wami ubambelele kuwe;

esokunene sakho siyangiphasa.

9Kepha abafuna umphefumulo wami ukuwubulala

bayakwehlela ezindaweni zomhlaba eziphansi.

10Bayakunikelwa esandleni senkemba,

babe yisabelo sezimpungushe.

11Kepha inkosi iyakuthokoza ngoNkulunkulu;

bonke abafunga yena bayakuzibonga;

ngokuba umlomo wabakhuluma amanga uyakuvalwa.
