Joromiya
47 Leli lilizwi lakaJehova eliya kuJoromiya umphorofidi malungana namaFilista+ ngaphambi kobana uFaro asahlele iGaza. 2 Nakhu uJehova akutjhoko:
“Qala! Amanzi eza avela etlhagwini.
Azokuba mlanjana ophuphumako.
Azokukhukhula inarha nakho koke okukiyo,
Idorobho nabo boke abahlala kilo.
Abantu bazokurhuwelela,
Woke umuntu ohlala enarheni uzokurhahlawula.
3 Nakezwa itjhada leenjomani ezijigimako,
Nakezwa itjhada leenkarana zakhe zepi
Netjhada lamavilwakhe,
Abobaba angekhe babuyele emva bona bayokusindisa amadodanabo,
Ngombana izandla zabo ziphelelwe mamandla.
4 Ngombana ilanga elizako lizokutjhabalalisa woke amaFilista;+
Lizokutjhabalalisa kusukela eTirosi+ neTsidoni+ boke abaseleko ababambisene nawo.
5 Ipandla* izokufika eGaza.
I-Atjhikheloni izokuthuliswa.+
Maye! Kwabaseleko bemrhobabo ethabaleleko,
Kuzabe kube kunini nizisika?+
6 Maye! Sabula kaJehova!+
Kuzabe kube kunini ungathuli?
Buyela emgodlenakho.
Phumula begodu uthule.
7 Ingathula njani
UJehova nakayiyalileko?
Bona ilwe ne-Atjhikheloni neligu,+
Lapho, kulapho ayithumele khona.”
