UZEFANIYA 3 - IsiNdebele 2012 Translation

Abaphathi beJerusalema bayamangalelwa

1Lizazizwa idorobho eliphika ikani,

elisilapheleko neligandelelako!

2Alilaleli muntu, alivumi ukusolwa;

alithembeli kuSomnini,

alitjhideli hlanu koZimalo.

3Iinkhulu zalo zimabhubezi abhodlako,

abagwebi balo baziimpisi ezikhwabitha ebusuku

zirhiribidela zingalisi nanyana sele kusile.

4Abaphorofidi balo abazisi,

bababantu abangathembekiko.

Abaphristi balo basilaphaza okucwengileko

begodu bephula umyalo.

5Nanyana uSomnini olungileko angaphakathi kwedorobheli;

kunganabumbi abenzako,

ngamasa angahluleki,

abonakalisa ukulunga kwakhe imihla ngemihla;

kodwana khonapho iinkhohlakali abe azinanhloni.

6USomnini uthi:

“Ngirhayile izizwe;

imibhotjhongwazo ibhidliziwe.

Ngitjhiye iindledlana zazo zithe nghwayi,

kwangaba namuntu okhambakhamba kizo.

Amadorobhazo arhayiliwe,

akukho noyedwa ozakusala,

ngitjho noyedwa tere.

7Bengidlumbana bona:

Idorobheli lizangesaba,

livume ukusolwa

beliyelele koke engikulindele kilo.

Kodwana khonapho belisaphikelele

ngobukhohlakali kikho koke elikwenzako.

8“USomnini uthi:

“Yeke yewungilindele,

ulindele ilanga engizakujama ngalo ngifakaze,

lokha mina mgwebi ngihlanganisa izizwe nemibuso

bona ngiyimadlhe ngamanikelelami,

iye ngetukuthelwami evuthako.

Lindelani ilanga mhlana iphasi loke lizakuqothulwa

ngomlilo welaka lami.”

Abantu bakaZimu bangomuso

9“Yeke ngizakuhlambulula iimbhena zabantu

ukuze boke babize ibizo lakaSomnini,

bamlotjhe, babambisene.

10Kusukela ngaphetjheya kwemilambo yeKutjhe

abalotjhi bami,

abantu bami abasabaleleko bazangilethela iminikelo.

11Mhlokho, wena Jerusalema,

angekhe usasoleka ngemitjhapho ongone ngayo

ngombana ngizabe ngisuse kuwe

boke abantu abathokoza ngokuzitjhaya kwabo.

Nje-ke angeze usazigqaja entabenami ecwengileko.

12Kodwana ngizakutjhiya phakathi kwenu

ababubodlhana nabathobekileko,

bazakufunyana isiphephelo kuSomnini.

13“Imisalela yakwa-Israyeli

angeze isenza ubumbi

nanyana ileye amala

nekulumo ekhohlisako

angeze yafunyanwa emilonyenayo.

Ngambala izakukarula yetjise

begodu kungabi nomuntu ozayethusa.”

Isimemo sokuthakasa

14Kwakwazela, wena ndodakazi yeZiyoni!

Betha umkhulungwana, wena Israyeli!

Jabula uthokoze ngehliziywakho yoke,

ndodakazi yeJerusalema!

15USomnini usisusile isigwebo sakho,

waqotjha nesitha sakho.

INgwenyama yakwa-Israyeli,

uSomnini ungesirhodlweni sakho,

akusenabumbi obuzakwehlela godu.

16Mhlokho bazakuthi eJerusalema:

“Ungesabi, wena Ziyoni,

unganyefisi izandla zakho.

17USomnini uZimakho ungesirhodlweni sakho,

unamandla wokusindisa.

USomnini uzakukarekela ngethabo elikhulu;

akuthande ngesirhawu,

akuthakasele

18ngokuthamba.”

USomnini uthi:

“Ngizakubuthelela abantu bakwa-Israyeli

ebe bathotjisiwe begodu baphadlhalajiwe,

labo abasuka enarhenabo ngamatlhuwo.

19Sekuseduze bona bangibone kuhle

abagandeleli bakho, wena Jerusalema.

Ngizakwenyela abarholopheleko bakwa-Israyeli,

bengibuthelele nalabo egade baphadlhalele.

Esikhundleni sokunyazwa kwabo

ngizabaphakamisa babe nedumo nesithunzi

kilo loke iphasi.

20Ngesikhatheso ngizanibutha;

ngesikhatheso ngizaniletha ekhaya.

Ngizanipha idumo nesithunzi

hlangana nabantu boke bephasi

lokha nangitjhugulula ubujamo benu niqalile.”

Kutjho uSomnini.
