Obadiya 1

¹Umbono ka-Obadiya. Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova ngo-Edomi, ithi: ‘Sizwile umbiko ovela kuJehova, futhi isithunywa sithunyiwe phakathi kwezizwe, sithi: Sukani, simvukele ukulwa.’

²Bheka, ngikwenze waba mncane phakathi kwezizwe; udelelekile kakhulu.

³Ukuzidla kwenhliziyo yakho kukukhohlisile, wena ohlala emifantwini yedwala, okhaya lakho liphakeme; othi enhliziyweni yakhe: “Ngubani oyakungehlisela phansi na?

⁴Noma uziphakamisa njengokhozi, noma ubeka isidleke sakho phakathi kwezinkanyezi, ngiyakukwehlisa khona, usho uJehova.

⁵Uma amasela efika kuwe njengabaphangi ebusuku, (yeka ukubhujiswa kwakho!) abengayikweba aze asuthe na? uma abavuni bezithelo zomvini befika kuwe, bebengayikushiya izithelo zomvini na?

⁶Yeka ukuthi ziphenyisiswa kanjani izinto zika-Esawu! zihlolisiswa njani izinto zakhe ezifihliweyo!

⁷Wonke amadoda esivumelwano sakho akulethile emngceleni; abantu ababenokuthula nawe bakukhohlisile, bakwehlula; abadla isinkwa sakho babeke inxeba phansi kwakho; akukho ukuqonda kuye.

⁸“Ngalolo suku,” usho uJehova, “ngingayikunquma abahlakaniphileyo kwa-Edomi nezihlakaniphi ezintabeni zakwa-Esawu na?

⁹Amaqhawe akho, Themani, ayakwethuka, ukuze zonke izintaba zakwa-Esawu zinqunywe ngokubulawa.

¹⁰Ngenxa yobudlova bakho kumfowenu uJakobe buyakusibekela, futhi uyonqunywa kuze kube phakade.

¹¹Ngosuku owama ngalo maqondana, mhla abezizwe besusa amabutho akhe nabafokazi bengena emasangweni akhe benza inkatho ngeJerusalema, nawe wawunjengomunye wabo.

¹²Kodwa kwakungafanele ubheke usuku lomfowenu mhla engowemzini; futhi kwakungafanele ujabule ngabantwana bakwaJuda ngosuku lokubhujiswa kwabo; futhi kwakungafanele ukhulume ngokuzidla ngosuku losizi.

¹³Kwakungafanele ungene esangweni labantu bami ngosuku lwenhlekelele yabo; yebo, ubungafanele ubheke usizi lwabo ngosuku lwenhlekelele yabo, noma ubeke izandla phezu kwempahla yabo ngosuku lwenhlekelele yabo;

¹⁴Futhi bekungafanele ume ezimpambanweni zezindlela ukuze uqothule abaphunyukileyo; nabasalayo osukwini lwenhlupheko anizange nizinikele.

¹⁵Ngoba usuku lweNkosi luseduze phezu kwezizwe zonke; njengoba wenze, kuyakwenziwa kuwe; inkokhelo yakho iyobuyela ekhanda lakho.

¹⁶Ngokuba njengalokho niphuzile entabeni yami engcwele, ziyakuphuza kanjalo zonke izizwe, ziphuze, zidle, zibe sengathi azigezwanga.

¹⁷Kodwa eNtabeni yaseSiyoni kuyoba khona insindiso, futhi kuyoba khona ubungcwele; indlu kaJakobe iyakudla ifa layo.

¹⁸Indlu kaJakobe iyakuba ngumlilo, nendlu kaJosefa ibe yilangabi, indlu ka-Esawu ibe ngamabibi, bawuthungele bayiqede; futhi akuyikusala lutho lwendlu ka-Esawu; ngoba uJehova ukukhulumile.

¹⁹Abasuka eningizimu bayakudla ifa lentaba yakwa-Esawu; nabasethafeni, amaFilisti, badle ifa lensimu yakwa-Efrayimi nensimu yaseSamariya; uBenjamini uyakudla iGileyadi.

²⁰Isiphetho sale butho labantwana bakwa-Israyeli siyakuthatha okwamaKhanani kuze kube seSarefati; abathunjwa baseJerusalema abaseSefaradi bayodla ifa lemizi yaseningizimu.

²¹Abasindisi bayokhuphukela entabeni yaseSiyoni ukuze bahlulele intaba ka-Esawu; futhi umbuso uyakuba ngokaJehova.
