uYehova uthetha ngoMowabhi

1Ngokuba utsho uYehova wemikhosi, uThixo kaSirayeli, ukuthi, Yeha iNebho! ngokuba yaphukile; Yahlaziswa iKiriyatayim, yathinjwa; uMisgabe uneentloni kwaye uyoyika.

2Akuyi kuba sabakho ndumiso ivela kuMowabhi: iHeshbhon iceba ububi nxamnye naye; masiyigqibe ebahlalini. Nawe Madmene wonqanyulwa; ikrele liya kukusukela.

3Kuya kubakho isikhalo eHoronayim, imbubhiso nokwaphuka okukhulu.

4Utshabalele uMowabhi; abantwana bakhe abancinci balila.

5Ngokuba kuya kuhlala kulila entabeni yaseLuhiti; ngenxa yokuba ekuhleni ukuya eHoronayim iintshaba zasiva isikhalo sentshabalalo.

6Sabani, sizani imiphefumlo yenu, nibe njengomlimi entlango.

7Ngenxa enokuba ukholose ngezenzo zakho nangobutyebi bakho, nawe uya kuthinjwa; yaye uKemoshe uya kuya ekuthinjweni nababingeleli bakhe neenkosana zakhe.

8Umbhuqi uya kuzifikela zonke izixeko, kungasindi mzi; idake intili, nethafa libe senkangala, njengoko watshoyo uYehova.

9Mnikeni amaphiko uMowabhi, asabe, asinde; kuba izixeko zakhe ziya kuba ngamanxuwa, akukho bani uya kuhlala kuzo.

10Uqalekisiwe owenza umsebenzi kaYehova ngobuqhophololo, aqalekiswe onqanda ikrele lakhe egazini;

11Wayezolile uMowabhi kwasebutsheni bakhe, yaye wayehleli esitulweni sakhe, yaye akazange athululelwe ukusuka kwesinye isitya ukuya kwesinye, okanye ekuthinjweni; ke ngoko, incasa yakhe yahlala kuye, nevumba lakhe aliguqukanga.

12Ngako oko, yabonani, iyeza imihla, utsho uYehova, endiya kuthumela abahambi kubo, babagxothe, bayichithe imiphanda yabo, baziqhekeze iingxowa zabo.

13Uya kuhlaziswa uMowabhi ngenxa kaKemoshe, kanye njengoko indlu kaSirayeli yahlaziswayo ngenxa yesifungo sayo saseBheteli.

14Ningathini na ukuthi, Singamagorha, singamagorha emfazwe?

15Uya kuphangwa uMowabhi, uthinjwa emizini yakhe, abafana bakhe abanyuliweyo basiwe ekubulaweni; utsho uYehova, ogama lakhe linguYehova wemikhosi.

16Kusondele ukusindeka kukaMowabhi, ukusindeka kwakhe ngokukhawuleza;

17Lilileni ngenxa yakhe nonke; bathi bonke abalaziyo igama lakhe, Hayi, ukwaphulwa kwenduku eyomeleleyo, intonga yokuhomba!

18Intombi yakho ehlala eDibhon yehla eluzukweni lwakho yaye isoloko inxaniwe; kuba umtshabalalisi wakwaMowabhi uya kunihlasela, azitshabalalise iinqaba zenu.

19Yima endleleni, mmi waseArohere, ubone; buza kulowo ubalekileyo nosindileyo, athi, Kwenzeke ntoni na?

20uneentloni uMowabhi; lilani, lilani; Xelelani iArnon ukuba uphangiwe uMowabhi;

21Kwafika umgwebo kulo ilizwe; neHolon, neYahasa, neMefahati;

22neDibhon, neNebho, neBhete-dibhelatayim;

23neKiriyatayim, neBhete-gamule, neBhete-mehon;

24neKeriyoti, neBhotsera, nemizi yonke yelizwe lakwaMowabhi, ekude kwanekufuphi.

25Uphondo lukaMowabhi lwaphukile, nengalo yakhe yaphukile,” utsho uYehova.

26Mnxiliseni, ngokuba eqhayise ngoYehova; Uya kuziqikaqika uMowabhi emhlanzweni wakhe, naye uya kuba yintlekisa.

27Wayengeyintlekisa na kuwe uSirayeli? Wafunyanwa phakathi kwamasela na? kuba oko nithetha ngaye, umke evuya.

28Phumani ezixekweni, nihlale emaweni, nina bemi bakwaMowabhi, nibe njengevukuthu elakhela ecandeni emlonyeni wequla.

29Silivile ikratshi likaMowabhi, oyena unekratshi, ikratshi lakhe nekratshi lakhe nekratshi lakhe nekratshi lentliziyo yakhe.

30Mna ndiwazi umsindo wakhe, utsho uYehova; kodwa akuyi kuba njalo; ubuxoki bakhe abuyi kusebenza ngolo hlobo.

31Ngako oko ndiya kumlilela uMowabhi, ndilile ngenxa kaMowabhi wonke ephela; Intliziyo yam iyakhala ngenxa yamadoda akwaKoreshi.

32Ndiya kuzibika kuwe ngokukhala kweYasere, mdiliya waseSibhema; ehlotyeni iziqhamo zakho neediliya zakho zigaleleke umbhuqi.

33Kwaye kwashenxiswa imivuyo nemigcobo kwilizwe elikhulu nelizwe lakwaMowabhi; ndayiyeka iwayini ezinyukweni; akukho namnye uya kunyathela ngovuyo; ukuduma kwabo akuyi kuba yimivuyo.

34Ukususela kwisikhalo esisuka eHeshbhon ukusa e-Elehali ukuya eYahaze, ukusuka eTsoware ukusa eHoronayim baphakamisa amazwi abo njengethokazi lenkomo elineminyaka emithathu ubudala; ngokuba amanzi aseNimrim aya kuba yintlango.

35Ndomtshabalalisa ke uMowabhi, utsho uYehova, obingelela koothixo bakhe ezigangeni, oqhumisela umsi.

36Ngako oko intliziyo yam iya kulila njengogwali kuMowabhi; intliziyo yam iya kukhala izigodlo kumadoda akwaKoreshi;

37Kuba zonke iintloko ziya kuchetywa, zonke iindevu zichetyiwe; bonke bephela banamanxeba ezandleni, benxibe ezirhwexayo ezinqeni zabo.

38Eluphahleni lonke lwakwaMowabhi nasezitratweni zakhe kuya kukhwazwa, ngenxa yokuba ndimaphule uMowabhi njengento engonwabanga,’ utsho uYehova.

39Baya kunkqangaza, besithi, Hayi, ukutyumzwa! Utheni na ukubuya uMowabhi eneentloni! ngenxa yoko uMowabhi ube yintlekisa, uyoyikiswa ngeenxa zonke.

40Ngokuba utsho uYehova ukuthi, Yabona, utshaba lutshwebeleza njengexhalanga, lolule amaphiko alo phezu koMowabhi.

41iKeriyoti ithinjiwe, neenqaba ezinqatyisiweyo zithinjiwe, yaye ngaloo mini intliziyo yamagorha akwaMowabhi iya kuba njengentliziyo yomfazi ezindleleni zakhe.

42uMowabhi uya kutshatyalaliswa angabi saba luhlanga, ngenxa yokuba uqhayise ngoYehova.

43Kuya kuwelwa lunkwantyo nomgongxo nesibatha, wena mmi wakwaMowabhi,” utsho uYehova.

44Osaba unkwantyo weyela emhadini; onyuka ephuma emhadini, abanjiswe ngumgibe; kuba ndiza kumzisela uMowabhi unyaka wokukohlwaya,” utsho uYehova.

45Abo basabileyo bema phantsi komthunzi weHeshbhon ngenxa yamandla, kodwa kuya kuphuma umlilo uvela eHeshbhon nedangatye phakathi kukaSihon, litshise imbombo yakwaMowabhi neentloko zabo bacaphukileyo.

46Yeha, wena Mowabhi! abantu bakwaKamoshe batshabalele, ngenxa yokuba oonyana bakho baye bathinjwa, neentombi zakho zisiwe ekuthinjweni.

47Kodwa ke ekupheleni kwemihla ndiya kulibuyisela iqashiso lakwaMowabhi,” utsho uYehova. Seza kufika apha isigwebo sikaMowabhi.
