1 Mayelana leMowabi: UTHIXO uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi:“Maye kuyo iNebho ngoba izachithwa.IKhiriyathayimi izayangeka njalo ithunjwe;inqaba izayangeka ibhidlizwe. 2 IMowabi kayiyikudunyiswa futhi;eHeshibhoni abantu bazaceba ukumbhidliza:besithi, ‘Wozani sitshabalalise isizwe lesiyana.’Lawe, wena Madimeni uzathuliswa;inkemba izaxotshana lawe. 3 Zwanini ukukhala okuvela eHoronayimi;ukukhala komonakalo omkhulu lencithakalo. 4 IMowabi izachitheka;abancinyane bayo bazakhala. 5 Baqansa ngendlela eya eLuhithi,bahamba belila kabuhlungu,emgwaqweni owehlela eHoronayimi,kuzwakala ukukhala okulosizi ngenxa yokuchitheka. 6 Balekani! Gijimani lizivikele ekufeni;wobani njengesihlahla enkangala. 7 Njengoba lithembe izenzo zenu lenotho yenu,lani futhi lizathunjwa,loKhemoshi uzakuya ekuthunjweni,kanye labaphristi bakhe lezikhulu zakhe. 8 Umchithi uzafika emadolobheni wonke,njalo akukho dolobho elizaphepha.Isigodi sizatshabalaliswa,lamagceke azaqothulwangoba UTHIXO usekhulumile. 9 Fakani itswayi kuyo iMowabingoba izachitheka;amadolobho ayo azakuba ngamanxiwaangayikuba lamuntu ozahlala kuwo. 10 Yeka isithuko kulowo oyekethisayo ekwenzeni umsebenzi KATHIXO!Yeka isithuko kulowo ogodla inkemba yakhe ekuchitheni igazi! 11 IMowabi ibiphumule kusukela ebutsheni bayonjengewayini elisele phezu kwezinsipho zalo,elingathelwanga kwenye imbiza lisuswa kwenyekayithunjwanga.Ngakho inambitheka njengakuqala,iphunga layo kaliguqukanga. 12 Kodwa insuku ziyeza,lapho ngizathuma abantu abathulula okusembizeni,njalo bazayithululela phandle;bazachitha okusezimbizeni zayobazimahlaze imbiza zayo. 13 Lapho-ke iMowabi izayangeka ngoKhemoshinjengokuyangeka kwendlu ka-Israyelilapho babethembe iBhetheli. 14 Lingatsho kanjani na ukuthi, ‘Singamabutho,amadoda alesibindi empini na’? 15 IMowabi izachithwa, amadolobho ayo ahlaselwe;amajaha ayo aqinileyo azacakazelwa phansi abulawe,”kutsho iNkosi, obizo layo NGUTHIXO uSomandla. 16 “Ukuwa kweMowabi sekuseduze;umonakalo wayo uzafika ngokuphangisa. 17 Ikhaleleni lonke lina elakhelene layo,bonke abalwaziyo udumo lwayo,lithi, ‘Yeka ukwephuka kwentonga yobukhosi elamandla,yeka ukwephuka kodondolo oluhle kakhulu!’ 18 Yehlani ebukhosini benulihlale emhlabathini owomileyo,lina elihlala eNdodakazini yaseDibhoni.Ngoba lowo ochitha iMowabiuzakuzalihlaselaadilize amadolobho enu avikelweyo. 19 Manini emgwaqweni lilinde,lina elihlala e-Aroweri.Buzani indoda ebalekayo lowesifazane obalekayo;babuzeni lithi, ‘Kwenzakaleni na?’ 20 IMowabi iyangekile, ngoba ichithekile.Lilani likhale!Bikani ngase-Arinoniukuthi iMowabi itshabalalisiwe. 21 Ukwehlulela sekufikile emagcekenieHoloni, leJahazi laseMefahathi, 22 eDibhoni, leNebho laseBhethi-Dibhilathayimi, 23 eKhiriyathayimi, leBhethi-Gamuli laseBhethi Meyoni, 24 eKheriyothi kanye laseBhozirakuwo wonke amadolobho aseMowabi, aseduze lakhatshana. 25 Uphondo lweMowabi luqunyiwe,ingalo yalo yephuliwe,”kutsho UTHIXO. 26 “Idakiseningoba idelele UTHIXO.IMowabi kayizibhixe ngamahlanzo ayo;kayibe yinto yokuhlekwa. 27 U-Israyeli wayengasinto yokuhlekisa kuwe na?Watholakala ephakathi kwamasela na,ukuba unikine ikhanda lakho ngokweyisangasosonke isikhathi lapho ukhuluma ngaye? 28 Tshiyani amadolobho enu lihlale emadwaleni,lina elihlala eMowabi.Wobani njengejuba elakhela isidleke saloemlonyeni wobhalu. 29 Sizwile ngokuzigqaja kweMowabi,ukuziqakisa kwayo lokuzazisa kwayo!Ukuzigqaja lokuzikhukhumeza kwayo,kanye lokuziphakamisa kwenhliziyo yayo. 30 Ngiyakwazi ukudelela kwayo, kodwa kuyize,lokuzincoma kwayo akusizi lutho,” kutsho UTHIXO 31 “Ngakho-ke ngiyalila ngeMowabi,ngikhalela iMowabi yonke,ngililela abantu baseKhiri-Haresethi. 32 Ngiyalikhalela njengokulila kweJazeri,lina zivini zaseSibhima.Ingatsha zenu zinaba zifike olwandle,zafika olwandle lwaseJazeri.Umchithi usehlelephezu kwezithelo zakho ezivuthiweyo laphezu kwamavini. 33 Ukuthokoza lokuthaba akusekhoezivinini lasemasimini eMowabi.Ukugeleza kwewayini ezikhamelweni sengikumisile;kakho ozalikhama eklabalala ngentokozo.Lanxa kulokuklabalalaakusikuklabalala kwentokozo. 34 Umsindo wokukhala kwabo uyaphakamauvelela eHeshibhoni usiya e-Eliyale laseJahazi,uvela eZowari usiyafika eHoronayimi le-Egilathi Shelishiya,ngoba lamanzi aseNimirimi asecitshile. 35 EMowabi ngizabaqedalabo abanikela iminikelo ezindaweni eziphakemeyobatshisele labonkulunkulu babo impepha,” kutsho UTHIXO. 36 “Ngakho inhliziyo yami ikhalela iMowabi njengemfegwana;iyakhala njengemfegwana ikhalela abantu beKhiri-Haresethi.Inotho ababeyizuzile kayisekho. 37 Amakhanda wonke aphuciwelezindevu zonke zigeliwe;izandla zonke zisikiwelezinkalo zonke zigqokiswe amasaka. 38 Phezu kwezimpahla zonke zezindlu zaseMowabilasemagcekeni kazulu,akulalutho ngaphandle kokukhala,ngoba iMowabi ngiyibulelenjengembiza engafunwa muntu,” kutsho UTHIXO. 39 “Yeka ukuphahlazwa kwayo! Yeka ukulila kwabo!Yeka ukufulathela kweMowabi ilehlazo!IMowabi isibe yinto yokuhlekwa;into yokwesatshwa yibo bonke abakhelane layo.” 40 UTHIXO uthi:“Khangela! Ukhozi lwehlela phansi ngesiqubu,lwelulele impiko zalo phezu kweMowabi. 41 IKheriyothi izathunjwa,lezinqaba zithunjwe.Ngalolosuku inhliziyo zamabutho aseMowabizizakuba njengenhliziyo yowesifazane ohelelwayo. 42 IMowabi izachithwa ingabe isaba yisizwengoba yadelela UTHIXO. 43 Ukwesaba lomgodi kanye lomjibila kulilindelelina bantu baseMowabi,”kutsho UTHIXO. 44 “Loba ngubani obalekela ukwesabauzawela emgodini,loba ngubani ophuma emgodiniuzabanjwa ngumjibila;ngoba ngizakwehlisela phezu kweMowabiumnyaka wokujeziswa kwayo,”kutsho UTHIXO. 45 “Emthunzini waseHeshibhoniababalekayo bayema kungelasizo,ngoba umlilo usuphumile eHeshibhoni,ilangabi elivela phakathi kwakoSihoni;litshisa amabunzi eMowabiinkakhayi zamaqhalaqhala alomsindo. 46 Maye kuwe! wena Mowabi!Abantu baseKhemoshi babhujisiwe;amadodana athunjiwelamadodakazi akho athunjiwe. 47 Kodwa inhlanhla ye-Mowabi ngizayibuyiselaensukwini ezizayo,”kutsho UTHIXO.Ukwahlulelwa kweMowabi kuphelela lapha.
