Mika 3 | IBhayibheli Elikuyi-Internet | INguqulo Yezwe Elisha3 Futhi ngathi: “Ngicela nizwe, nina zinhloko zakwaJakobe nani balawuli bendlu ka-Israyeli.+ Akuwona yini umsebenzi wenu ukwazi ubulungisa?+ 2 Nina enizonda okuhle+ nenithanda ububi,+ enebula abantu isikhumba sabo nenyama yabo emathanjeni abo;+ 3 nina futhi enidle inyama yabantu bami,+ nenihlubule sona kanye isikhumba sabo kubo, naphula amathambo abo aba yizicucu, nawachoboza aba yizicucwana njengalokho okusembizeni enomlomo obanzi nanjengenyama embizeni yokupheka.+ 4 Ngaleso sikhathi bayocela usizo kuJehova, kodwa ngeke abaphendule.+ Futhi uyobafihlela ubuso bakhe ngaleso sikhathi,+ njengoba nje benze ububi ezenzweni zabo.+ 5 “Yilokhu uJehova akushilo ngokumelene nabaprofethi abanhlanhlathisa abantu bami,+ abalumayo ngamazinyo+ abo futhi empeleni abamemeza bathi, ‘Ukuthula!’+ nalabo futhi, okuthi lapho umuntu engafaki okuthile emilonyeni yabo, bangcwelise impi ngokumelene naye,+ 6 ‘Ngakho niyoba nobusuku,+ kangangokuthi ngeke kube nambono;+ futhi niyoba nobumnyama, ukuze ningabhuli. Abaprofethi bayoshonelwa ilanga nosuku luyoba mnyama phezu kwabo.+ 7 Ababoni bemibono+ kuyomelwe babe namahloni,+ nababhuli+ ngokuqinisekile bayodumazeka. Kuyomelwe bamboze amadevu,+ bonke, ngoba kungekho mpendulo evela kuNkulunkulu.’”+ 8 Ngakolunye uhlangothi, mina ngigcwele amandla, ngomoya kaJehova, nobulungisa nobukhulu,+ ukuze ngitshele uJakobe ukuvukela kwakhe no-Israyeli isono sakhe.+ 9 Ngicela nizwe lokhu, nina zinhloko zendlu kaJakobe nani balawuli bendlu ka-Israyeli,+ nina eninengwa ubulungisa nenenza yonke into eqondile ibe yisigwegwe;+ 10 enakha iZiyoni ngezenzo zokuchitha igazi neJerusalema ngokungalungi.+ 11 Abayizinhloko bakhe bahlulela ngenjongo yokuthola isifumbathiso nje kuphela,+ nabapristi bakhe bafundisa ngenjongo yokuthola imali nje,+ nabaprofethi bakhe babhula ngenjongo yokuthola imali nje kuphela;+ nokho balokhu bezisekela ngoJehova, bethi: “UJehova akaphakathi kwethu yini?+ Ngeke kufike inhlekelele phezu kwethu.”+ 12 Ngakho ngenxa yenu iZiyoni liyolinywa njengensimu nje, neJerusalema uqobo liyoba nje yinqwaba yezincithakalo,+ nentaba yendlu iyoba njengezindawo eziphakeme zehlathi.
