U-OBADIYA 1 - IsiNdebele 2012 Translation

Iimphorofido zaphambilini ezijamelene no-Edomu

1Isambulo saka-Obadiya Watjho nje uSomnini uZimami kumphorofidi ngo-Edomu:

“Sizwe ilizwi elibuya kuSomnini

ngombana isigijimi sathunywa ezizweni sathi,

‘Nambani sikhambeni siyokusahlela umuzi.’ ”

2Godu uSomnini wathi ngomphorofidi ku-Edomu:

“Yelela, ngizakukwehlisa isithunzi

unyazeke ezizweni.

3Ukuzazi kwakho kukurhwalile,

wena ohlala emipharwini yedwala,

wakhe umuzi wakho esiqongolweni,

wena ozitjela uthi,

‘Ngubani ongangihlakazela phasi?’

4Nanyana indlwanakho ingaba phezulu njengeyedlanga,

namkha ibe phezulu hlangana neenkwekwezi,

ngizakuhlakaza khonapho.

5“Lokha nakufika amasela ngendlini

nabagongodi ebusuku,

bathatha abakufunako kwaphela;

kodwana wena uzakuhlangulwa.

Lokha abavuni nabavuna esidiribeni

batjhiya ambalwa;

kodwana abantu bakwa-Esewu bazakukhuthuzwa koke;

6amafa wabo afihliweko azakubhenyegululwa.

7Boke abakhozi bakho bazakukghurumejela emkhawulweni;

onokuthula nabo bakurhwale bebakubinde;

onghwatha nabo bazakubekela isifu

esihlakeni sakho.”

Godu uSomnini wathi ngomphorofidi ku-Edomu:

“Akukasi kuye!

8Mhlokho mina Somnini ngizokutjhabalalisa

iinhlakaniphi kwa-Edomu

nokwazi entabeni yakwa-Esewu.”

Kutjho uSomnini.

9Temana, iintsitsirimba zakho zizakusatjiswa

kuthi woke umuntu arhayilwe

entabeni yakwa-Esewu.

Amabanga wokuhlunguphazwa kuka-Edomu

USomnini wathi: “Ngebanga lokubulala

10nelokobana ube nerawurawu

phezu komfowenu uJakopo,

uzokuba namatlhuwiso bewutjhabalaliswe isiphelani.

11Wajamela ncanye wabukela

mhlana abaqhamuki bathumba ibutho lakaJakopo,

namhlana abatjhili bafahla emasangwenakhe;

namhlana baphosa ifumbe babelana ngeJerusalema.

Wena-ke bewufana poro nabo.

12Bewungakameli ukarwe kubukela umfowenu

mhlana asematjhweni,

namkha uthabe

mhlana kurhayilwa amaJuda,

nanyana ube nomlomo omude

mhlana kunamahlungu.

13Bewungakameli ufahle emasangweni wabantu bami

mhlana bavelelwe lilitjhwa,

nanyana ukarwe kubukela ingozi kaJakopo

mhlana avelelwe lilitjhwa,

nanyana uhlangule ilifa lakhe

mhlana avelelwe lilitjhwa.

14Bewungakameli ukuqamulela abaphunyurhileko

nababaleka ngeendlela zamakhondlo ubatjhabalalise,

nanyana ubakhaphele ezitheni mhlana basemahlungwini.

15“Ngambala, ilanga lakaSomnini selitjhidele ezizweni zoke.

Lokho okwenzileko kuzakwenziwa nakuwe,

uzakubethwa ngezakho.”

Ukubuyiselwa kombuso ka-Israyeli

16“Njengombana nina bantu bakaJakopo

nirhamule ikapho yomhlonyani entabenami

ecwengileko nje;

yeke nezizwezi zoke nje zizayirhamula mndundu.

Zizakurhamula zirhubule kube ngathi

azange khezibe khona phambilini.

17“Kodwana entabeni yeZiyoni

kuzakuba nerholo lokuphephela;

intaba le izakuba ngecwengileko,

kuthi indlu kaJakopo

izuze inarha eyayilobako.

18“Indlu kaJakopo izakuba mlilo,

kuthi yakaJosefa ibe lilangabu,

kodwana yaka-Esewu yona izakuba mawunguwungu;

yeke bazayithungela ngomlilo itjhe thokgho.

Akuzokuba khona ophunyurhako

endlini ka-Esewu.”

Ngambala watjho njalo uSomnini.

19“Abantu besewula yakwaJuda

bazazithumbela iintaba zakwa-Esewu,

kuthi abasemibundwini engeTjingalanga

bazithumbele inarha yamaFilista.

Abantu bakwaJuda bona

bazazithumbela amasimu wakwa-Efrayimu

neweSamariya ngeTlhagwini.

UBhenjamini yena

azithumbele iGiliyadi ngePumalanga.

20Isiqhema sabathunjwa bakwa-Israyeli

sizokuthumba inarha yamaKanana

bekube seSerafadi ngeTlhagwini.

Abathunjwa beJerusalema baseSefaradi

bazakuthumba amadorobho angesewula.

21Abahlengi bazakukhuphukela entabeni yeZiyoni

ukuze babuse iintaba zakwa-Esewu.

Umbuso uzokuba ngowakaSomnini.”
