UZefaniya 3
IJerusalema liyakwamukela ukuqondiswa
1Maye kulo muzi ongcolile nongcolile, umuzi ocindezelayo!
2Kalilalelanga ilizwi; akakwamukelanga ukuqondiswa; akazange athembele kuJehova; akasondelanga kuNkulunkulu wakhe.
3Izikhulu zawo phakathi kwawo zingamabhubesi abhodlayo; abahluleli bawo bayizimpisi zasebusuku; abadli amathambo kuze kuse.
4Abaprofethi bawo bangabantu abalula nabangathembekanga;
5UJehova olungileyo uphakathi kwawo; akenzi okubi; njalo ekuseni uyaveza ilungelo lakhe, akaqedi; kepha ongalungile akawazi amahloni.
6Ngizibhubhisile izizwe; imibhoshongo yabo iyincithakalo; Ngenzile izitaladi zazo zibe yincithakalo, ukuze kungadluli muntu;
7Ngathi: Ngiqinisile, lizangesaba, lizakwamukela ukulaywa; ukuze indawo yabo yokuhlala ingaqedwa, nokho ngibajezisile; kepha bavuka ekuseni, baziphanga zonke izenzo zabo.
8Ngalokho ngilindeleni, usho uJehova, kuze kufike usuku engiyakuvuka ngalo ukuphanga; ngoba injongo yami iwukuqoqa izizwe, ukuze ngibuthe imibuso, ukuze ngithulule ulaka lwami phezu kwazo, yebo, lonke ulaka lwami oluvuthayo. Ngoba umhlaba wonke uzaqedwa ngomlilo womhawu wami.
9Ngoba ngalesosikhathi ngizanika abantu ulimi oluhlanzekileyo, ukuze bonke babize ibizo le Nkosi, bamkhonze nganhliziyonye.
10Ngaphesheya kwemifula yaseKushe, abangincengayo, indodakazi yabahlakazekileyo bami, bayakunikela ngomhlatshelo wami.
11Ngalolo suku aniyikuba namahloni ngazo zonke izenzo zenu eneqe ngazo kimi; ngokuba lapho ngiyakubasusa kini abathokoza ngokuzidla kwenu, ningabe nisazidla ngenxa yentaba yami engcwele.
12Ngiyakushiya phakathi kwakho abantu abadabukileyo nabampofu, abayakwethemba igama likaJehova.
13Insali yakwa-Israyeli ayiyikwenza okubi, ingakhulumi amanga; futhi akukho ulimi olukhohlisayo oluyotholakala emlonyeni wabo, ngoba bayoklaba futhi balale, futhi akekho oyobethusa.
14Hlabelela, ndodakazi yaseZiyoni! jabula, Israyeli! jabula, uthokoze ngenhliziyo yakho yonke, ndodakazi yaseJerusalema.
15UJehova usezisusile izahlulelo zakho, usixoshile isitha sakho; inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, uJehova, iphakathi kwakho; anisayikubona ububi.
16Ngalolo suku kuyothiwa kulo iJerusalema: “Ungesabi, nakulo iSiyoni: Mazingadangali izandla zakho.
17UJehova uNkulunkulu wakho uphakathi kwakho; uyakusindisa, ajabule ngawe ngentokozo; uyophumula othandweni lwakhe, ajabule ngawe ngengoma.
18Ngiyakubutha abadabukileyo ngomkhosi, abaphuma kini, okube ngumthwalo kubo ukuthukwa kwawo.
19Bhekani, ngaleso sikhathi ngiyakuqeda konke abanicindezelayo, nabamiyo ngibasindise, ngibabuthe abadingisiwe; futhi ngiyozuza udumo negama kubo kuwo wonke amazwe abahlazeke kuwo.
20Ngaleso sikhathi ngiyakunibuyisela emuva, ngesikhathi enginibuthela ngaso; ngokuba ngiyakunenza igama nendumiso phakathi kwabantu bonke bomhlaba, lapho ngiguqula ukuthunjwa kwenu phambi kwamehlo enu,” usho uJehova.
