UGogi Uwa Ezintabeni
UGogi uwela ezintabeni zakwaSirayeli, izikhali zakhe zitshiselwe iinkuni iminyaka esixhenxe, ngelixa amaqela okungcwaba esebenza iinyanga ezisixhenxe, nezalathiso zimiselwa ngasemathanjeni asasalayo. Iintaka zibizelwa isidlo esoyikekayo. UBawo wethu uthi ukuthinjwa kwakungekhona ukungabikho kwakhe, aze athululele uMoya wakhe.
39 1“Nawe, nyana womntu, profeta ngokuchasene noGogi, uthi: Utsho uBawo oyiNkosi ukuthi: Ndikuchasile, wena Gogi, sikhulu siyintloko sakwaMesheki noTubhali. 2Ndiya kukujika, ndikuqhube, ndikunyuse ndikususe kwiimbombo zasentla, ndikuse ezintabeni zakwaSirayeli. 3Ndiya kusibetha ke isaphetha sakho sikhiphe esandleni sakho sasekhohlo, iintolo zakho ndizikhupha esandleni sakho sasekunene. 4Uya kuwa ezintabeni zakwaSirayeli, wena nemikhosi yakho yonke nezizwe ezinawe. Ndiya kukunika ube kukudla kwamaxhalanga ohlobo lonke, namarhamncwa asendle. 5Uya kuwa emaphandleni, kuba ndithethile, utsho uBawo oyiNkosi. 6Ndiya kuthumela umlilo kwaMagogi nakubo abahlala bekholosile eziqithini, baze bazi ukuba ndinguBawo. 7Ndiya kulazisa igama lam elingcwele phakathi kwabantu bam amaSirayeli, ndingabi savumela ukuba lihlanjelwe igama lam elingcwele. Zaye iintlanga ziya kwazi ukuba ndinguBawo, oyiNgcwele kwaSirayeli. 8Yabona, kuyeza, kuya kwenzeka, utsho uBawo oyiNkosi. Le yiloo mini ndathetha ngayo.‘
9“Baze abo bahlala emizini yakwaSirayeli baphume, benze umlilo ngezikhali bazitshise—amakhaka neengweletshetshe, izaphetha neentolo, iintonga zemfazwe neentshuntshe—bezenza iinkuni iminyaka esixhenxe. 10Abayi kuthabatha nkuni emaphandleni nasehlathini, kuba baya kutshisa izikhali. Baya kubaphanga abo babebaphangile, bathimbe abo babebathimbile, utsho uBawo oyiNkosi.’
11“Ngaloo mini ndiya kumnika uGogi indawo yokungcwaba kwaSirayeli, intlambo yabahambi, ngasempumalanga yolwandle. Iyabavingca abahambi, kuba apho baya kumngcwaba uGogi nengxokolo yakhe yonke, baze bayibize ngokuthi yiNtlambo yeHamon-gogi. a a v11 IHamon-gogi ithetha ukuthi "ingxokolo kaGogi"—intlambo leyo ithiywe ngenxa yomkhosi omkhulu ongcwatywe apho. 12Iinyanga ezisixhenxe indlu kaSirayeli iya kuba ibangcwaba, ukuze ihlambulule ilizwe. 13Bonke abasezweni baya kubangcwaba, kuze oko kubazuzele udumo ngemini endiya kubonakalalisa ngayo uzuko lwam, utsho uBawo oyiNkosi.‘
14“Baya kumisa amadoda okucanda ilizwe ngamaxesha onke, engcwaba abo basele phezu komhlaba, ukuze bawuhlambulule. Emva kweenyanga ezisixhenxe baya kuphengulula. 15Ekucandeni kwabo ilizwe, osukuba ebona ithambo lomntu, umisa umqondiso ngakulo, bade abangcwabi balingcwabe eNtlambeni yeHamon-gogi. 16(Apho kuya kubakho nomzi obizwa ngokuthi yiHamona.) Baya kulihlambulula ke ngoko ilizwe.’
17“Wena ke, nyana womntu, utsho uBawo oyiNkosi ukuthi: Thetha kwiintaka zohlobo lonke nakuwo onke amarhamncwa asendle, uthi: Qukanani nize, nibuthelane nivela macala onke, nize kumbingelelo endinilungiselela wona, umbingelelo omkhulu ezintabeni zakwaSirayeli; niya kudla inyama, nisele igazi. 18Niya kudla inyama yamagorha, nisele igazi lezikhulu zomhlaba—iinkunzi zezimvu, neemvana, neebhokhwe, neenkunzi zeenkomo, yonke imfuyo etyebileyo yaseBhashan. 19Niya kudla amanqatha nide nihluthe, nisele igazi nide ninxile, kumbingelelo endinilungiselela wona. 20Etafileni yam niya kuhlutha ngamahashe nabakhweli beenqwelo zokulwa, ngamadoda anamandla namasoldati ohlobo lonke, utsho uBawo oyiNkosi.‘
21“Ndiya kulumisa uzuko lwam phakathi kweentlanga, zize zonke iintlanga ziwubone umgwebo endiwenzileyo, nesandla endisibeke phezu kwazo. 22Kususela kuloo mini kuse phambili, indlu kaSirayeli iya kwazi ukuba ndinguBawo wabo. 23Zaye iintlanga ziya kwazi ukuba indlu kaSirayeli yathinjwa yasiwa kwelinye ilizwe ngenxa yesono sayo, ngokuba babemeneze kum. Ngako oko ndabufihla ubuso bam, ndabanikela ezintshabeni zabo, baza bawa bonke ngekrele. 24Ndabaphatha ngokobunqambi babo nangokwezono zabo, ndabufihla ubuso bam kubo.’
25“Ngako oko utsho uBawo oyiNkosi ukuthi: Ngoku ndiya kukubuyisa ukuthinjwa kukaYakobi, ndibe nemfesane kuyo yonke indlu kaSirayeli, ndibe nekhwele ngegama lam elingcwele. 26Baya kuthwala ihlazo labo nabo bonke ubumenemene abandimenezayo ngabo, xa behlala bekholosile ezweni labo, kungekho bani ubagubhisayo. 27Ndakubabuyisa bevela ezizweni, ndibabuthe emazweni eentshaba zabo, ndiya kuzingcwalisa ngabo phambi kweentlanga ezininzi. 28Baze bazi ukuba ndinguBawo wabo, ngenxa yokuba ndabathimbela ezintlangeni, ndaza ndababutha emhlabeni wabo, ndingashiyi namnye wabo. 29Andisayi kububufihla ubuso bam kubo, kuba ndiya kuwuthulula uMoya wam phezu kwendlu kaSirayeli, utsho uBawo oyiNkosi.”
