Israeli Kuangamizwa
19:1 Za 68:21; Yer 11:11Nilimwona Bwana akiwa amesimama kando ya madhabahu, naye akasema:
“Piga vichwa vya nguzo
ili vizingiti vitikisike.
Viangushe juu ya vichwa vya watu wote;
na wale watakaosalia nitawaua kwa upanga.
Hakuna awaye yote atakayekimbia,
hakuna atakayetoroka.
29:2 Za 139:8-10; Ay 20:6; 7:9; Yer 51:33; Oba 1:4; Eze 26:20Wajapojichimbia chini mpaka kwenye vina vya kuzimu,
kutoka huko mkono wangu utawatoa.
Wajapopanda juu hadi kwenye mbingu,
kutoka huko nitawashusha.
39:3 Yer 23:24; 6:16-17; Za 139:8-10; 68:22; Mwa 49:17; Ay 11:20Wajapojificha juu ya kilele cha Karmeli,
huko nitawawinda na kuwakamata.
Wajapojificha kutoka kwenye uso wangu
katika vilindi vya bahari,
huko nako nitaamuru joka kuwauma.
49:4 Law 26:33; 17:10; Eze 5:12; 15:7; Kum 28:65; Yer 39:16; 21:10; 44:11Wajapopelekwa uhamishoni na adui zao,
huko nako nitaamuru upanga uwaue.
Nitawakazia macho yangu kwa mabaya
wala si kwa mazuri.”
59:5 Za 46:2; Amo 8:8; Mik 1:4Bwana, Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote,
yeye agusaye dunia nayo ikayeyuka,
na wote wakaao ndani mwake wakaomboleza:
nayo nchi yote huinuka kama Naili,
kisha hushuka kama mto wa Misri;
69:6 Za 104:1-3, 5-13; Amo 5:8; Yer 43:9yeye ambaye hujenga jumba lake la kifalme katika mbingu
na kuisimika misingi yake juu ya dunia,
yeye aitaye maji ya bahari
na kuyamwaga juu ya uso wa nchi:
Bwana ndilo jina lake.

ninyi si sawa kwangu kama Wakushi?”
asema Bwana.
“Je, sikuleta Israeli kutoka Misri,
Wafilisti kutoka Kaftori,9:7 Yaani Krete.
na Washamu kutoka Kiri?
89:8 Yer 30:11; 44:27; Za 11:4“Hakika macho ya Bwana Mwenyezi
yako juu ya ufalme wenye dhambi.
Nami nitauangamiza
kutoka kwenye uso wa dunia:
hata hivyo sitaiangamiza kabisa
nyumba ya Yakobo,”
asema Bwana.
99:9 Lk 22:31; Isa 30:28; Yer 31:36; Dan 9:7“Kwa kuwa nitatoa amri,
na nitaipepeta nyumba ya Israeli
miongoni mwa mataifa yote,
kama vile nafaka ipepetwavyo katika ungo,
na hakuna hata punje moja itakayoanguka chini.
109:10 Yer 5:12; 23:17; 49:37; Eze 20:38; Amo 6:3Watenda dhambi wote miongoni mwa watu wangu
watauawa kwa upanga,
wale wote wasemao,
‘Maafa hayatatupata wala kutukuta.’
Kurejezwa Kwa Israeli
119:11 Mdo 15:16; Mik 7:8-11; Zek 12:7; Isa 7:2; 49:8; Mwa 26:22; Eze 17:24“Katika siku ile nitaisimamisha
hema ya Daudi iliyoanguka.
Nitakarabati mahali palipobomoka
na kujenga upya magofu yake,
na kuijenga kama ilivyokuwa awali,
129:12 Hes 24:18; Isa 43:7; Oba 1:19; Yer 25:29; Mdo 15:16-17ili wapate kuyamiliki mabaki ya Edomu,
na mataifa yote yale yanayobeba Jina langu,”
asema Bwana ambaye atafanya mambo haya.
139:13 Law 26:5; Amu 9:27; Yoe 3:18; 2:24; Yer 31:38; 33:14; Rut 2:3“Siku zinakuja,” asema Bwana,
“wakati mvunaji atatanguliwa na mkulima,
naye mpanzi atatanguliwa na yeye akamuaye zabibu.
Divai mpya itadondoka kutoka milimani,
na kutiririka kutoka vilima vyote.

wataijenga tena miji iliyoachwa magofu,
nao wataishi ndani mwake.
Watapanda mizabibu na kunywa divai yake;
watalima bustani na kula matunda yake.
159:15 Kut 15:17; Isa 60:21; 65:9; Yer 18:9; 23:8; 3:18; 24:6; 32:15; Eze 28:26; 34:28; Yoe 3:20Nitaipanda Israeli katika nchi yao wenyewe,
hawatangʼolewa tena
kutoka nchi ambayo nimewapa,”
asema Bwana Mungu wenu.
Israel to Be Destroyed
1I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and he said:
“Strike the tops of the pillars
so that the thresholds shake.
Bring them down on the heads of all the people;
those who are left I will kill with the sword.
Not one will get away,
none will escape.
2Though they dig down to the depths below,
from there my hand will take them.
Though they climb up to the heavens above,
from there I will bring them down.
3Though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel,
there I will hunt them down and seize them.
Though they hide from my eyes at the bottom of the sea,
there I will command the serpent to bite them.
4Though they are driven into exile by their enemies,
there I will command the sword to slay them.
“I will keep my eye on them
for harm and not for good.”
5The Lord, the Lord Almighty—
he touches the earth and it melts,
and all who live in it mourn;
the whole land rises like the Nile,
then sinks like the river of Egypt;
6he builds his lofty palace9:6 The meaning of the Hebrew for this phrase is uncertain. in the heavens
and sets its foundation9:6 The meaning of the Hebrew for this word is uncertain. on the earth;
he calls for the waters of the sea
and pours them out over the face of the land—
the Lord is his name.
7“Are not you Israelites
the same to me as the Cushites9:7 That is, people from the upper Nile region?”
declares the Lord.
“Did I not bring Israel up from Egypt,
the Philistines from Caphtor9:7 That is, Crete
and the Arameans from Kir?
8“Surely the eyes of the Sovereign Lord
are on the sinful kingdom.
I will destroy it
from the face of the earth.
Yet I will not totally destroy
the descendants of Jacob,”
declares the Lord.
9“For I will give the command,
and I will shake the people of Israel
among all the nations
as grain is shaken in a sieve,
and not a pebble will reach the ground.
10All the sinners among my people
will die by the sword,
all those who say,
‘Disaster will not overtake or meet us.’
Israel’s Restoration
11“In that day
“I will restore David’s fallen shelter—
I will repair its broken walls
and restore its ruins—
and will rebuild it as it used to be,
12so that they may possess the remnant of Edom
and all the nations that bear my name,9:12 Hebrew; Septuagint so that the remnant of people / and all the nations that bear my name may seek me”
declares the Lord, who will do these things.
13“The days are coming,” declares the Lord,
“when the reaper will be overtaken by the plowman
and the planter by the one treading grapes.
New wine will drip from the mountains
and flow from all the hills,
14and I will bring my people Israel back from exile.9:14 Or will restore the fortunes of my people Israel
“They will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them.
They will plant vineyards and drink their wine;
they will make gardens and eat their fruit.
15I will plant Israel in their own land,
never again to be uprooted
from the land I have given them,”
says the Lord your God.
