Ilizwi leNkosi ngoGogi

1Ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi lathi:

2Ndoda, khangela kuGogi, isikhulu saseRoshi leMesheki leTubali, elizweni laseMagogi, utshumayele ngaye,Isam 20:8

3uthi: INkosi uNkulunkulu ithi: Ngimelene lawe, Gogi, sikhulu saseRoshi leMesheki leTubali.

4Ngizakukuphendula, ngifake ingwegwe emihlathini yakho, ngikukhuphe wena lempi yakho yonke, amabhiza labagadi bamabhiza, bonke begqoke izigqoko zensimbi, bephelele, belixuku elikhulu, bonke bephethe amahawu lezihlangu, begweba ngemikhonto.

5AbasePerisiya labaseKushi labasePuti balabo, belezihlangu lezingowane bonke,

6iGomeri lamaxuku alo wonke, iBeti‐Togarima lamaxuku alo elivela endaweni ezikhatshana zasenyakatho, abantu abanengi abakanye lawe.

7Lunga, uhlale ulungile, wena kanye lawo wonke amaxuku abuthene kuwe, ube ngumkhokheli wawo.

8Emva kwensuku ezinengi uzakubuthwa; eminyakeni ezayo uzahlasela ilizwe elathathwa empini, elilabantu ababuthwa ezizweni ezinengi, babekwa ezintabeni zakoIsrayeli ebeziyinkangala isikhathi eside. AbakoIsrayeli abakhutshwa ezizweni bazahlala khona bangethuki, bonke ngoluthi lwabo.

9Uzaqhubeka, uze njengesiphepha, ube njengeyezi elisibekele umhlaba, wena lawo wonke amaxuku akho, abantu abanengi belawe.

10INkosi uNkulunkulu ithi: Ngalo losuku kuzafika imicabango engqondweni yakho, wenze amacebo amahi,

11uthi: Ngizahlasela ilizwe elilemizi engabiyelwanga, ngibulale abantu abahlala ngokuthula bengethuki lutho, bonke behlala emizini engelamiduli, lengelamasango lemigoqo,

12ngithathe impango ngiyithumbe, ngihlasele indawo ebezichithekile esezilabantu, ngihlasele abantu ababuthwe ezizweni abazuze inkomo lempahla, abahlala enkabeni yomhlaba.

13ISheba leDedani labathengisi baseTarshishi layo yonke imizi yalo bazakuthi kuwe: Uzile yini ukuthatha impango na? Ubuthanisile izimpi zakho ukuthumba impango, uthathe isiliva legolide, uthathe inkomo lempahla, uthumbe impango enengi na?

14Ngalokhoke, ndoda, tshumayela kuGogi uthi: INkosi uNkulunkulu ithi: Ngalolosuku nxa abantu bakoIsrayeli sebehlala bangethuki, uzakuvuka,

15uphume endaweni yakini, endaweni ezikhatshana zasenyakatho, wena labantu abanengi kanye lawe, bonke begade amabhiza, belixuku elikhulu lempi elamandla.

16Uzahlasela abantu bami bakoIsrayeli njengeyezi lisibekela umhlaba. Ensukwini zokucina ngizakukuqhubeza lelizwe lami ukuze izizwe zingazi, nxa ngibonakalisa ngawe ubungcwele bami phambi kwazo, wena Gogi.

17INkosi uNkulunkulu ithi: Ekukhulumeni kwami ngezinceku zami abaprofethi ensukwini zasendulo, abatshumayela futhifuthi ngalezonsuku, kwakungawe engasonga ukumletha ukuhlasela koIsrayeli.

18Kodwa ngalolosuku azakufika ngalo uGogi elizweni lakoIsrayeli, ulaka lwami luzakuvutha, kutsho iNkosi uNkulunkulu.

19Ngoba ngomona wami langolaka lwami oluvuthayo ngithi: Ngalolosuku kuzakuba khona ukunyikinyeka okukhulu elizweni lakoIsrayeli.

20Inhlanzi zolwandle, lenyoni zaphezulu, lenyamazana zeganga, lazo zonke izinto ezihahabayo phansi, labo bonke abantu abakhona emhlabeni, kuzathuthumela phambi kwami; intaba zizadilizelwa phansi, kudilike amawa, lemiduli yonke iwele phansi.

21Ngizambizela konke okwesabekayo uGogi, kutsho iNkosi uNkulunkulu. Abantu bakhe bonke bazabulalana.

22Ngizamjezisa ngesifo langokuchitheka kwegazi, ngehlisele phezu kwakhe lamaxuku akhe labo bonke abantu abalaye izulu lesiqhotho lomlilo lesolufa.

23Ngalokho ngizaveza ubukhulu bami lobungcwele bami, ngizibonakalise ezizweni ezinengi; ng’khonake bazakwazi ukuba ngiyiNkosi.
