Ezekiel 39
1 And thou, son of man, prophesy against Cog, and say: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I come against thee, O Cog, the chief prince of Mosoch and Thubal.
Wena-ke ndodana yomuntu, profetha umelene loGogi, uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngimelane lawe, wena Gogi, siphathamandla esiyinhloko seMesheki leThubhali.
2 And I will turn thee round, and I will lead thee out, and will make thee go up from the northern parts: and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel.
Ngizakutshibilikisa, ngitshiye ingxenye yesithupha, ngikwenze wenyuke uvela emaceleni enyakatho, ngikulethe phezu kwezintaba zakoIsrayeli.
3 And I will break thy bow in thy left hand, and I will cause thy arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
Besengitshaya idandili lakho lisuke esandleni sakho sokhohlo, ngenze imitshoko yakho iwe esandleni sakho sokunene.
4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou and all thy bands, and thy nations that are with thee: I have given thee to the wild beasts, to the birds, and to every fowl, and to the beasts of the earth to be devoured.
Uzawela phezu kwezintaba zakoIsrayeli, wena, lamaviyo akho wonke, labantu abalawe. Ngizakunikela enyonini ezidla inyama, enyonini zalo lonke uphiko, lakuzilo zeganga, ube yikudla.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the face of the field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.
Uzawela ebusweni bomhlaba, ngoba mina ngikhulumile, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and on them that dwell confidently in the islands: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Njalo ngizathumela umlilo kuMagogi, laphakathi kwabahlala ngokonwaba ezihlengeni. Khona bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.
7 And I will make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel, and my holy name shall be profaned no more: and the Gentiles shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.
Njalo ngizakwenza ukuthi ibizo lami elingcwele laziwe phakathi kwabantu bami uIsrayeli; kangisayikungcolisa ibizo lami elingcwele; lezizwe zizakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi, oyiNgcwele koIsrayeli.
8 Behold it cometh, and it is done, saith the Lord God: this is the day whereof I have spoken.
Khangelani, sekufikile sekwenzakele, itsho iNkosi uJehova; yilo lolusuku engakhuluma ngalo.
9 And the inhabitants shall go forth of the cities of Israel, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, the shields, and the spears, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves and the pikes: and they shall burn them with fire seven years.
Labahlali bemizi yakoIsrayeli bazaphuma, batshise baphembe umlilo ngezikhali, lezihlangu ezinkulu lamahawu, ngamadandili, langemitshoko, langezinduku zesandla, langemikhonto, baphembe umlilo ngakho iminyaka eyisikhombisa;
10 And they shall not bring wood out of the countries, nor cut down out of the forests: for they shall burn the weapons with fire, and shall make a prey of them to whom they had been a prey, and they shall rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord God.
ukuze bangathezi izinkuni egangeni, bangagamuli emaguswini; ngoba bazaphemba umlilo ngezikhali; baphange labo ababaphangayo, bemuke ababemukayo, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give Gog a noted place for a sepulchre in Israel: the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea, which shall cause astonishment in them that pass by: and there shall they bury Cog, and all his multitude, and it shall be called the valley of the multitude of Cog.
Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku, ngiphe uGogi lapho indawo yengcwaba koIsrayeli, isihotsha sabadluli empumalanga kolwandle, esizavimbela abadluli. Lalapho bazangcwaba uGogi lexuku lakhe lonke; basibize ngokuthi yisiHotsha sexuku likaGogi.
12 And the house of Israel shall bury them for seven months to cleanse the land.
Njalo indlu yakoIsrayeli izabangcwaba, ukuze bahlambulule ilizwe, okwenyanga eziyisikhombisa.
13 And all the people of the land shall bury him, and it shall be unto them a noted day, wherein I was glorified, saith the Lord God.
Yebo bonke abantu belizwe bazabangcwaba, kube libizo kubo ngosuku engizadunyiswa ngalo, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
14 And they shall appoint men to go continually about the land, to bury and to seek out them that were remaining upon the face of the earth, that they may cleanse it: and after seven months they shall begin to seek.
Njalo bazakwehlukanisa amadoda ahlezi edabula phakathi kwelizwe ukuyangcwaba, labedlulayo, labo abaseleyo ebusweni belizwe, ukuze balihlambulule. Ekupheleni kwenyanga eziyisikhombisa bazahlola.
15 And they shall go about passing through the land: and when they shall see the bone of a man, they shall set up a sign by it, till the buriers bury it in the valley of the multitude of Cog.
Labedlulayo bazadlula phakathi kwelizwe, lapho bebona ithambo lomuntu, uzakwakha isibonakaliso phansi kwalo, baze abangcwabi balingcwabe esihotsheni sexuku likaGogi.
16 And the name of the city shall be Amona, and they shall cleanse the land.
Futhi lebizo lomuzi lizakuba yiHamona. Ngokunjalo bazahlambulula ilizwe.
17 And thou, O son of man, saith the Lord God, say to every fowl, and to all the birds, and to all the beasts of the field: Assemble yourselves, make haste, come together from every side to my victim, which I slay for you, a great victim upon the mountains of Israel: to eat flesh, and drink blood.
Wena-ke, ndodana yomuntu, itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Tshono enyonini yalo lonke uphiko, lakuyo yonke inyamazana yeganga: Zihlanganiseni, lize, libuthane livele inhlangothi zonke kumhlatshelo wami engiwuhlabele lina, umhlatshelo omkhulu phezu kwezintaba zakoIsrayeli, ukuze lidle inyama linathe igazi.
18 You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and you shall drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, and of lambs, and of he goats, and bullocks, and of all that are well fed and fat.
Lizakudla inyama yamaqhawe, linathe igazi leziphathamandla zomhlaba, elezinqama, elamawundlu, lelezimbuzi, elamajongosi, konke kungokunonisiweyo kweBashani.
19 And you shall eat the fat till you be full, and shall drink blood till you be drunk of the victim which I shall slay for you.
Njalo lizakudla amafutha lize lisuthe, linathe igazi lize lidakwe, ngomhlatshelo wami engilihlabele wona.
20 And you shall be filled at my table with horses, and mighty horsemen, and all the men of war, saith the Lord God.
Ngokunjalo lizasutha etafuleni lami ngamabhiza lezinqola, ngamaqhawe, langawo wonke amadoda empi, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
21 And I will set my glory among the nations: and all nations shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
Njalo ngizamisa inkazimulo yami phakathi kwezizwe; lezizwe zonke zizabona isahlulelo sami engisenzileyo, lesandla sami engisibeke phezu kwabo.
22 And the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day and forward.
Ngokunjalo abendlu kaIsrayeli bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wabo kusukela ngalolosuku kusiya phambili.
23 And the nations shall know that the house of Israel were made captives for their iniquity, because they forsook me, and I hid my face from them: and I delivered them into the hands of their enemies, and they fell all by the sword.
Lezizwe zizakwazi ukuthi abendlu kaIsrayeli bathunjwa ngenxa yobubi bayo; ngenxa yokuthi baphambuka bemelene lami ngakho ngafihla ubuso bami kubo, ngabanikela esandleni sezitha zabo; ngokunjalo bonke bawa ngenkemba.
24 I have dealt with them according to their uncleanness, and wickedness, and hid my face from them.
Ngabaphatha njengokokungcola kwabo lanjengokweziphambeko zabo, ngafihla ubuso bami kubo.
25 Therefore, thus saith the Lord God: Now will I bring back the captivity of Jacob, and will have mercy on all the house of Israel: and I will be jealous for my holy name.
Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khathesi ngizabuyisa abathunjwa bakaJakobe, ngibe lesihawu phezu kwayo yonke indlu kaIsrayeli, ngibe lobukhwele ngebizo lami elingcwele.
26 And they shall bear their confusion, and all the transgressions wherewith they have transgressed against me, when they shall dwell in their land securely fearing no man:
Sebethwele ihlazo labo, laso sonke isiphambeko sabo abaphambeke ngaso bemelene lami, lapho bahlala bevikelekile elizweni labo, engekho obethusayo.
27 And I shall have brought them back from among the nations, and shall have gathered them together out of the lands of their enemies, and shall be sanctified in them, in the sight of many nations.
Sengibabuyisile bevela ebantwini, ngabaqoqa bevela emazweni ezitha zabo, ngangcweliswa kubo emehlweni ezizwe ezinengi.
28 And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, because I caused them to be carried away among the nations; and I have gathered them together unto their own land, and have not left any of them there.
Khona bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wabo, engenza ukuthi bakhokhelelwe ekuthunjweni phakathi kwezizwe; kodwa ngizabaqoqela elizweni lakibo, kangisayikutshiya lamunye wabo khona.
29 And I will hide my face no more from them, for I have poured out my spirit upon all the house of Israel, saith the Lord God.
Njalo kangisayikufihla ubuso bami kubo, ngoba ngithululele umoya wami phezu kwendlu kaIsrayeli, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
