Umthwalo kaTito

1Umthwalo weTire. Bhombolozani, zinqanawa zaseTarshishe! Ngokuba ichithakele, akusekho ndlu, akusekho mnyango; bakutyhilelwa kuvela ezweni lamaKitim.

2Yithini cwaka, bemi besi siqithi; wena uzaliswe ngabarhwebi baseTsidon, abawela ulwandle.

3Yayisemanzini amaninzi imbewu yakwaSihore, ukuvuna koMnayile kwaba ngumvuzo wakhe; ke yona imicimbi yeentlanga.

4Dana, Tsidon, kuba luthethile ulwandle, namandla olwandle, lusithi, Andiyi kuzala mntwana, andiyi kukondla ntombi, andiyi konyusa zintombi.

5Njengengxelo ephathelele iYiputa, ngokuqinisekileyo baya kubandezeleka kakhulu ngenxa yamarhe angeTire.

6eTarshishe; bhombolozani, nina bemi basesiqithini!

7Kunje na kuwe, wena wonwabileyo, owasemandulo kwakudala? iinyawo zakhe ziya kumsa kude, ukuba abe ngumphambukeli.

8Ngubani na lo ucebe iqhinga ngeTire, ngomzi wesithsaba, obarhwebi bawo bangabathetheli, obarhwebi bawo bangamanene elimiweyo?

9uYehova wemikhosi ucinge ukungcolisa ubungangamsha balo lonke uzuko, ukuba acukuceze zonke iingangamsha zehlabathi;

10Canda kulo ilizwe lakowenu njengoMnayile, ntombi inguTarshishe;

11Isandla sakhe usolulele phezu kolwandle, wazinyikimisa izikumkani; uYehova wayalela eso sixeko sabarhwebi ukuba sitshabalalise iinqaba zaso.

12Wathi: “Awuyi kuba sabuya uvuye, ntombindini idlwengulweyo, ntombi yaseTsidon! nalapho akuyi kuba nakuphumla.

13Kukho ilizwe lamaKaledi; Akwabakho olu hlanga, ade ama-Asiriya abamisela ukuba babe bona babemi entlango; bazakha iinqaba zakhe ezinde, bezakha iingxande zakhe ezinde; kwaye uyitshabalalise.

14Lilani, zinqanawa zaseTarshishe, ngokuba kubhuqiwe amandla enu.

15Kuya kuthi ngaloo mini, ilityalwe iTire iminyaka engamashumi asixhenxe, njengemihla yokumkani omnye; emva kweminyaka engamashumi asixhenxe, iTire iya kumemelela njengehenyukazi.

16Musani ukuhamba niwujikeleze umzi, nililibale ihenyukazi; vumani iingoma ezimnandi, vumani iingoma ezininzi, ukuze ukhunjulwe.

17Ekupheleni kweminyaka engamashumi asixhenxe uYehova uya kuyivelela iTire, ize iguquke ukuze ifumane umvuzo ize ikrexeze nazo zonke izikumkani zehlabathi.

18Yaye umsebenzi wakhe nomvuzo wakhe woba ngcwele kuYehova; ayinakugcinwa okanye igcinwe; ngokuba umcimbi wakhe uya kuba ngowabahleli phambi koYehova, badle ukudla okuninzi, neempahla zokuhomba.
