UZefaniya 1

¹Izwi likaJehova elafika kuZefaniya, indodana kaKushi, indodana kaGedaliya, indodana ka-Amariya, indodana kaHezekiya, ezinsukwini zikaJosiya, indodana ka-Amoni, inkosi yakwaJuda.

²Ngiyakuqalekisa konke okuphuma ezweni,” usho uJehova.

³Ngiyakuqeda abantu nezilwane; ngiyakuqeda izinyoni zezulu, nezinhlanzi zolwandle, nezikhubekiso zababi; futhi ngiyonquma umuntu ezweni,” kusho uJehova.

⁴Ngiyakwelulela isandla sami phezu kukaJuda naphezu kwabo bonke abakhileyo eJerusalema; ngiyakunquma insali kaBali kule ndawo, negama lamaKemarim kanye nabapristi;

⁵Lalabo abakhonza ibandla lezulu phezu kwezindlu; nabakhuleka kuye, bafunge uJehova, nabafunga ngoMalikamu;

⁶Nabahlubukayo kuJehova; nalabo abangazange bamfune uJehova futhi abangabuzanga kuye.

⁷Thula phambi kweNkosi uJehova, ngokuba usuku lukaJehova luseduze; ngokuba uJehova ulungisile umhlatshelo, unikele abamenyiweyo bakhe.

⁸Njalo ngosuku lomhlatshelo weNkosi, ngizahambela iziphathamandla, labantwana benkosi, labo bonke abembethe izembatho zezizwe.

⁹Ngalolo suku ngiyophinde ngijezise bonke abeqa embundwini, abagcwalisa izindlu zamakhosi abo ngobudlova nangenkohliso.

¹⁰Ngalolo suku, usho uJehova, kuyakuba khona umsindo wokukhala eSangweni Lezinhlanzi, nokukhala kwelesibili, nomsindo omkhulu ovela ezintabeni.

¹¹Khalani nina enakhileyo eMakhethe, ngokuba bonke abathengisi banqunyiwe; bonke abagqoka isiliva bayakubhujiswa.

¹²“Ngaleso sikhathi ngiyakuphenya iJerusalema ngamakhandlela, ngihambele abantu abahlezi emibhedeni yabo, abathi enhliziyweni yabo: ‘UJehova akenzi okuhle nokubi.

¹³Ngalokho impahla yabo iyakuba yimpango, nezindlu zabo zibe yihlane; bayakwakha izindlu, kepha bangahlali kuzo; bayakutshala izivini, kepha bangaphuzi iwayini lazo.

¹⁴Usuku olukhulu lukaJehova luseduze, luseduze futhi lushesha kakhulu, izwi losuku lukaJehova; iqhawe liyokhala ngokumunyu lapho.

¹⁵Lolo suku lungusuku lolaka, usuku losizi nolosizi, usuku lwencithakalo nolwencithakalo, usuku lobumnyama nesigayegaye, usuku lwamafu nolobumnyama obukhulu,

¹⁶Usuku lwecilongo nolokuhlaba umkhosi ngemizi ebiyelweyo nasemibhoshongweni ephakemeyo.

¹⁷Ngiyakwehlisela abantu usizi ukuba bahambe njengezimpumputhe, ngokuba bonile kuJehova; igazi labo liyakuchithwa njengothuli, nenyama yabo njengomquba.

¹⁸Isiliva labo negolide labo ngeke libe namandla okubasindisa ngosuku lolaka lweNkosi; kodwa umhlaba wonke uzaqedwa ngomlilo womhawu wakhe;
