uMika uMika 3 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

uYehova akayi kuva; abaprofeti nabaphathi bobuxoki

1Ndathi ke, Khanive, zintloko zakwaYakobi, nani kumkani bendlu kaSirayeli. Asikokwenu na ukwazi umgwebo?

2othiya okulungileyo, athande okubi; abo bahlinza ulusu lwabo, nenyama yabo emathanjeni abo;

3nina, bayidlileyo inyama yabantu bam, bahlube ulusu lwabo; bawaphula amathambo abo, bawanqunqa njengembiza, nenyama embizeni.

4Baya kwandula babize kuYehova, angabaphulaphuli; Ngelo xesha uya kubusithelisa ubuso bakhe kubo, ngokuba benze ububi ngeentlondi zabo;

5Utsho uYehova ngokusingisele kubaprofeti ababandwendwisayo abantu bam, abatshixiza amazinyo, abadandulukayo, besithi, Luxolo; ke yena ongangeni emlonyeni wabo, bamlungiselele imfazwe.

6Ngoko ke niya kuba nobusuku, ukuze ningabi nabo; kuya kuba mnyama kuwe, ukuze ungaboni; liya kutshona ilanga kubaprofeti, ibe mnyama imini kubo.

7Ziya kudana iimboni, zibe neentloni amatola; ewe, bonke baya kuzifihla izipaji zabo; ngokuba akukho mpendulo kaThixo.

8Ke mna ndizele amandla ngomoya kaYehova, nobulungisa namandla, ukuze ndimxelele uYakobi ukreqo lwakhe, uSirayeli isono sakhe.

9Liveni eli lizwi, nina zintloko zendlu kaYakobi, nani baphathi bendlu kaSirayeli, nina bakuthiyileyo ubulungisa, bakugqwetha konke okusesikweni.

10Bayakha iZiyon ngamagazi, neYerusalem ngobugqwetha;

11Abathetheli bayo bagweba ngenxa yesicengo, nababingeleli bayo bafundisa ngenxa yesicengo, nabaprofeti bayo baprofeta ngenxa yemali; noko baya kuyama ngoYehova, besithi, uYehova akakho na phakathi kwethu? akukho nto imbi inokusehlela.

12Ngenxa yoko, iZiyon iya kutyalwa njengentsimi ngenxa yenu, iYerusalem ibe yimfumba yamatye, nentaba yayo indlu ibe njengeentaba zehlathi.
