1. 1NDENgabona uThixo emi phansi kwe-alithari, wasesithi: “Tshaya izihloko zensika ukuze imibundu inyikinyeke. Ziwisele phansi phezu kwamakhanda abantu bonke; labo abazasala ngizababulala ngenkemba. Kakho lamunye ozaphunyuka, kakho ozabaleka.BSBBSB: I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and He said: “Strike the tops of the pillars so that the thresholds shake. Topple them on the heads of all the people, and I will kill the rest with the sword. None of those who flee will get away; none of the fugitives will escape.
2. 2NDELoba besimba baze bafike ekudepheni kwengcwaba, isandla sami sizabathatha khonapho. Loba bekhwela baye phezulu emazulwini, bekhonapho ngizabehlisela phansi.BSBBSB: Though they dig down to Sheol, from there My hand will take them; and though they climb up to heaven, from there I will pull them down.
3. 3NDELoba becatsha engqongweni yeKhameli, khonapho ngizabadinga ngibabambe. Loba bengicatshela enzikini yolwandle, khonapho ngizalaya inyoka ukuba ibalume.BSBBSB: Though they hide themselves atop Carmel, there I will track them and seize them; and though they hide from Me at the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent to bite them.
4. 4NDELoba izitha zabo zingabasa ekuthunjweni, khonale ngizalaya inkemba ukuba ibabulale. Ngizagxilisa amehlo ami kubo ngenxa yobubi hatshi ngobuhle.”BSBBSB: Though they are driven by their enemies into captivity, there I will command the sword to slay them. I will fix My eyes upon them for harm and not for good.”
5. 5NDEINkosi, uThixo uSomandla, yena othinta umhlaba uncibilike, kuthi bonke abahlezi kuwo bakhale, ilizwe lonke liyaphakama njengoNayili liphinde litshone phansi njengomfula waseGibhithe,BSBBSB: The Lord GOD of Hosts, He who touches the earth and it melts, and all its dwellers mourn—all the land rises like the Nile, then sinks like the river of Egypt—
6. 6NDEyena owakha indlu yakhe yobukhosi ephakemeyo emazulwini njalo ubeka isisekelo sakhe phezu komhlaba, ebiza amanzi olwandle awathele phezu kobuso bomhlaba, uThixo yilo ibizo lakhe.BSBBSB: He builds His upper rooms in the heavens and founds His vault upon the earth. He summons the waters of the sea and pours them over the face of the earth. The LORD is His name.
7. 7NDE“Lina ma-Israyeli, kimi kalinjengamaKhushi na?” kutsho uThixo. “U-Israyeli kangimkhuphanga eGibhithe, lamaFilistiya eKhafithori, kanye lama-Aramu eKhiri na?BSBBSB: “Are you not like the Cushites to Me, O children of Israel?” declares the LORD. “Did I not bring Israel up from the land of Egypt, the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Arameans from Kir?
8. 8NDEImpela amehlo kaThixo Wobukhosi aphezu kombuso olesono. Ngizawukhucula ebusweni bomhlaba ikanti indlu kaJakhobe angiyikuyichitha ngokupheleleyo,” kutsho uThixo.BSBBSB: Surely the eyes of the Lord GOD are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth. Yet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,” declares the LORD.
9. 9NDE“Ngoba ngizakupha umlayo, njalo ngizahlungula indlu ka-Israyeli phakathi kwezizwe zonke njengokuhlungulwa kwamabele ekhomaneni njalo akukho hlamvu oluzawela phansi.BSBBSB: “For surely I will give the command, and I will shake the house of Israel among all the nations as grain is sifted in a sieve; but not a pebble will reach the ground.
10. 10NDEIzoni zonke phakathi kwabantu bami zizakufa ngenkemba, bonke labo abathi, ‘Umonakalo kawuyikusifica loba usihlangabeze.’ ”BSBBSB: All the sinners among My people will die by the sword—all those who say, ‘Disaster will never draw near or confront us.’”
11. 11NDE“Ngalolosuku ngizavusa ithente likaDavida elawayo. Ngizavala izikhala zalo, ngivuselele okwadilikayo kwalo, ngilakhe njengelaliyikho khona,BSBBSB: “In that day I will restore the fallen tent of David. I will repair its gaps, restore its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old,
12. 12NDEukuze bathathe insalela ye-Edomi kanye lezizwe zonke ezizabizwa ngebizo lami,” kutsho uThixo, ozazenza lezizinto.BSBBSB: that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations that bear My name,” declares the LORD, who will do this.
13. 13NDEUThixo uthi, “Zinsuku ziyeza, lapho ovunayo ezaficwa ngolimayo, lohlanyelayo aficwe ngokhama amavini. Iwayini elitsha lizagobhoza ezintabeni, njalo ligeleze emaqaqeni wonke.BSBBSB: “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when the plowman will overtake the reaper and the treader of grapes, the sower of seed. The mountains will drip with sweet wine, with which all the hills will flow.
14. 14NDENgizababuyisela abantu bami bako-Israyeli abathunjwayo. Bazawakha kutsha amadolobho adilikayo bahlale kuwo. Bazahlanyela izivini banathe iwayini lazo; bazakwenza izivande badle izithelo zazo.BSBBSB: I will restore My people Israel from captivity; they will rebuild and inhabit the ruined cities. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit.
15. 15NDENgizagxumeka u-Israyeli elizweni lakhe angaphindi asitshunwe futhi elizweni engimnike lona,” kutsho uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.BSBBSB: I will firmly plant them in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the land that I have given them,” says the LORD your God.
