← Chapter 47 Jump to: Chapter 49 →

1Mayelana loMowabi. I Nkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, ithi: Maye ngeNebo! ngoba ichithekile. IKiriyathayimi iyangekile, inqotshiwe; inqaba iyangekile, yadilika;

2udumo lukaMowabi kalusekho. EHeshiboni baceba okubi ngayo, bathi: Wozani siyiqume, ingabe isaba yisizwe. Lani elihlala eMadimeni lizachitheka, baxotshane lani ngenkemba.

3Zwanini, ilizwi lokukhala livela eHoronayimi lisithi: Ukuchithwa, lokutshabalala okukhulu!

4IMowabi uchithekile; ukukhala kuzwakala kuze kufike eZowari.

5Emadundulwini eLubithi bakhwela bekhala, lekwehleni ukuya eHoronayimi bazwile ukukhala kokuchitheka.

6Balekani, lisindise umphefumulo wenu, libe njengobabhemi weganga enkangala.

7Ngoba ngenxa yokuthi lathemba inqaba zenu lenotho yenu lani lizathunjwa; uKemoshi uzathunjwa kanye labapristi bakhe lezikhulu zakhe.

8Umchithi uzafikela yonke imizi, kawukho lowodwa ozasala; isihotsha sizachitheka, lamagceke aqothulwe, njengokutsho kwe Nkosi.

9Bekelani uMowabi ilitshe lengcwaba, ngoba uMowabi uzachitheka masinyane, imizi yakhe izakuba ngamanxiwa angelamuntu.

10Uqalekisiwe lowo owenza umsebenzi we Nkosi ngokungananzeleli; uqalekisiwe lalowo ogodla inkemba yakhe ekuchitheni igazi.

11UMowabi uchelesile kusukela ebutsheni bakhe, ubehlezi ezinzile; kathululelwanga embizeni ngembiza, kathunjwanga; ngakho ukunambitheka kwakhe kuhlala kunjalo, iphunga lakhe kaliphenduki.

12Ngakho khangela, insuku ziyeza, kutsho i Nkosi, lapho ngizathuma kuye abathambeki abazamthambeka, bathulule imbiza zakhe, babulale inqayi zakhe.

13Khona-ke uMowabi uzakuba lenhloni ngoKemoshi, njengalokho indlu kaIsrayeli yaba lenhloni ngeBhetheli, ithemba layo.

14Lingatsho njani ukuthi: Singamaqhawe lamadoda empi alamandla?

15Umchithi kaMowabi lemizi yakhe usefikile, lamajaha akhe akhethiweyo sehlele ekubulaweni, kutsho iNkosi eyi Nkosi yamabandla.

16Ukuhlupheka kukaMowabi kusondele, lokutshaywa kwakhe kuyaphangisa.

17Likhalelani, lina lonke elimzingelezeleyo, lani lonke elazi ibizo lakhe; lithi: Yeka ukwaphuka kwenduku elamandla, udondolo oluhle!

18Yehla ebukhosini bakho, uhlale emhlabathini owomileyo, wena ohlala eDiboni. Ngoba umchithi kaMowabi usekufikele, wachitha inqaba zakho.

19Mana endleleni, ulinde, wena ohlala eAroweri. Ubuze obalekayo lalowo ophunyukileyo uthi: Kwenze njani?

20UMowabi uyangekile, ngoba uchithekile; lilani likhale; libike eArinoni ukuthi uMowabi uchithekile.

21Isigwebo sehlele phezu kwelizwe elilamagceke, eHoloni leJahazi leMefahathi,

22leDiboni leNebo leBeti-Dibilathayimi,

23leKiriyathayimi, leBeti-Gamuli, leBeti-Meyoni,

24leKeriyothi leBozira, lakuyo yonke imizi yelizwe lakoMowabi, eduze lakhatshana.

25Uphondo lukaMowabi luqunyiwe, lengalo yakhe yephukile, kutsho i Nkosi.

26Mdakiseni, ngoba ezikhukhumezile e Nkosi ni; uMowabi uzazibhixa emahlanzweni akhe, abe yinhlekisa.

27UIsrayeli kabanga yinhlekisa kuwe yini? Watholakala phakathi kwamasela yini ukuthi lapho ukhuluma ngaye, unikine ikhanda lakho?

28Tshiyani imizi, lihlale phakathi kwamadwala, lina elihlala koMowabi. Libe njengejuba elakha isidleke salo emaweni.

29Sizwile ngokuzigqaja kukaMowabi; uyazigqaja kakhulu. Sizwile ngokuziphakamisa kwakhe, lokuziqakisa kwakhe, langokuzikhukhumeza kwakhe.

30Ngiyakwazi ukudelela kwayo, kutsho i Nkosi; ukuzincoma kwayo kuyinkohliso, lezenzo zayo ziyinkohliso.

31Ngalokho-ke ngiyalila ngoMowabi, ngikhale ngabo bonke abakoMowabi, ngililele abantu beKiri-Heresi.

32Ngiyakukhalela inyembezi wena vini leSibima ukudlula iJazeri. Ingatsha zakho zedlula phezu kolwandle, zaze zafinyelela eJazeri. Umchithi wehlele phezu kwezithelo zakho zehlobo lemavinini akho avuniweyo.

33Ukuthaba lentokozo kususiwe elizweni lakoMowabi elilenala enengi; ngiqedile iwayini ezikhamelweni; kakho osakhama izithelo zevini ngentokozo, lomsindo wentokozo kawusekho.

34Ukukhala kweHeshiboni leEleyale kuzwakala kuze kube seJahazi. Ukukhala okukhulu kuzwakala eZowari kuze kufike eJoronayimi leEgilathi-Shelishiya; ngoba amanzi aseMimrimi lawo asesitsha.

35Ngizaqeda koMowabi lowo onikela umhlatshelo endaweni ephakemeyo yokukhonzela, atshisele uNkulunkulu wakhe impepha, kutsho i Nkosi.

36Ngakho-ke inhliziyo yami ikhalela uMowabi njengomhubhe, inhliziyo yami iyakhala njengomhubhe ngabantu beKiri-Heresi; inotho ababeyizuzile ichithekile.

37Ngoba wonke amakhanda aphuciwe, lazo zonke indevu zigeliwe; izandla zonke zilamanxeba, bonke bavunule amalembu amasaka enkalweni.

38Phezu kwazo zonke indlu zamaMowabi kanye lemagumeni akhona yikukhala kuphela; ngoba ngimbulele uMowabi njengembiza engananzwa muntu, kutsho i Nkosi.

39Yeka ukufa kwayo! Yeka ukukhala kwayo! Yeka ukuphendula intamo kukaMowabi elenhloni! Ngakho uMowabi uphenduke waba yinhlekisa, lento eyesabekayo kibo bonke abaseduze laye.

40Ngoba i Nkosi ithi: Khangela, ukhona ozaphapha njengokhozi, elulele impiko zakhe koMowabi.

41Imizi izathunjwa, lezinqaba zithathwe, kuthi inhliziyo zamaqhawe koMowabi ngalolosuku zibe njengenhliziyo yowesifazana ohelelwayo.

42UMowabi uzachithwa, angabe esaba yisizwe, ngoba wazikhukhumeza e Nkosi ni.

43Ukwesaba lomgodi lomjibila kuphambi kwenu, lina elihlala koMowabi, kutsho i Nkosi.

44Obalekela ukwesaba uzawela emgodini, lophuma emgodini uzabanjwa ngumjibila. Ngoba lezizinto ngizazehlisela koMowabi ngomnyaka wempindiselo yabo, kutsho i Nkosi.

45Emthunzini weHeshiboni ababalekayo bayema bephelelwe ngamandla, ngoba umlilo uphumile eHeshiboni, lelangabi liphumile endlini kaSihoni, umlilo utshisile imingcele yakoMowabi, lezingqonga zabantu besiphithiphithi.

46Maye kuwe, wena Mowabi! Abantu bakaKemoshi baphelile, ngoba amadodana akho athunjiwe, lamadodakazi akho asiwe ekuthunjweni.

47Kodwa ngizabuyisa abantu bakoMowabi ensukwini ezizayo, kutsho i Nkosi. Siphela lapha isigwebo sakoMowabi.
