Ezekiel 25
1 The word of Jehovah came again to me, saying:
Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kimi, lisithi:
2 Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them;
Ndodana yomuntu, misa ubuso bakho bumelene labantwana bakoAmoni, uprofethe umelene labo.
3 and say to the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord Jehovah! Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou saidst, “Aha!” against my sanctuary when it was profaned, and against the land of Israel when it was desolate, and against the house of Judah when they went into captivity, therefore,
Uthi kubantwana bakoAmoni: Zwanini ilizwi leNkosi uJehova: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ngoba wathi: Aha; ngenxa yendawo yami engcwele, lapho ingcoliswa, langenxa yelizwe lakoIsrayeli, lapho lalichithiwe, langenxa yendlu yakoJuda, lapho baya ekuthunjweni,
4 behold, I will deliver thee to the sons of the East for a possession, and they shall set their folds in thee, and make their dwellings in thee; they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk.
ngakho, khangela, ngizakunikela ebantwaneni basempumalanga ube yilifa, ukuthi bamise inkamba zabo phakathi kwakho, benze izindawo zabo zokuhlala phakathi kwakho; bona bazakudla izithelo zakho, bona banathe uchago lwakho.
5 And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the land of the Ammonites a couching-place for flocks; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
Njalo ngizakwenza iRaba ibe yisitebele samakamela, labantwana bakoAmoni babe yindawo yokucambalala yemihlambi. Khona lizakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.
6 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast clapped thy hands, and stamped with thy feet, and rejoiced with all thy despite from the heart, against the land of Israel,
Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ngoba utshayile isandla, watshaya phansi ngonyawo, wathokoza emphefumulweni ngokudelela kwakho konke umelene lelizwe lakoIsrayeli;
7 therefore, behold, I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the nations; I will cut thee off from the nations, and cause thee to perish from the countries; I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah.
ngakho, khangela, ngizakwelulela isandla sami phezu kwakho, ngikunikele ube yimpango kwabezizwe, ngikuqume usuke ebantwini, ngizakwenza ubhubhe emazweni, ngikuchithe. Khona uzakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.
8 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because Moab and Seir say, “Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations,”
Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ngoba oMowabi loSeyiri bathi: Khangela, indlu kaJuda injengezizwe zonke;
9 therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from his cities, which are on his borders, the glory of the country, Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim.
ngakho khangela, ngizavula uhlangothi lukaMowabi kusukela emizini, kusukela emizini yakhe, kusukela emngceleni wakhe, ubuhle belizwe, iBeti-Jeshimothi, iBhali-Meyoni, leKiriyathayimi;
10 To the sons of the East will I give it for a possession, together with the sons of Ammon, that the sons of Ammon may be no more remembered among the nations;
njalo ngizayinikela emadodaneni empumalanga kube yilifa ngimelene labantwana bakoAmoni, ukuze abantwana bakoAmoni bangakhunjulwa phakathi kwezizwe.
11 and on Moab will I execute judgments, and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
Ngizakwenza izahlulelo laphakathi kukaMowabi; njalo bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.
12 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them,
Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ngoba uEdoma enze ngokuphindisela impindiselo emelene lendlu kaJuda, wonile ngokona, waziphindisela phezu kwabo;
13 therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will stretch out my hand upon Edom, and will cut off from it man and beast; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and unto Dedan shall they fall by the sword.
ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Lami ngizakwelula isandla sami phezu kukaEdoma, ngiqume kuye umuntu lenyamazana, ngimenze incithakalo kusukela eThemani, njalo kuze kufike eDedani bazakuwa ngenkemba.
14 And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel; and they shall deal with Edom according to mine anger, and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Njalo ngizabeka impindiselo yami phezu kukaEdoma ngesandla sabantu bami uIsrayeli, benze kuEdoma njengokwentukuthelo yami lanjengokolaka lwami; khona bezakwazi impindiselo yami, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
15 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because the Philistines have dealt with revenge, and have taken vengeance, with a despiteful heart, even to destruction, from the old hatred;
Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ngoba amaFilisti enze ngempindiselo, aphindisela impindiselo ngokudelela emphefumulweni, ukuthi achithe ngenzondo yaphakade;
16 therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will stretch out my hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites, and destroy the remnant upon the sea-coasts.
ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngizakwelulela isandla sami phezu kwamaFilisti, ngiqume amaKerethi, ngibhubhise insali yokhumbi lolwandle.
17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am Jehovah when I lay my vengeance upon them.
Ngenze izimpindiselo ezinkulu phezu kwabo ngokukhuza kwentukuthelo; khona bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi, lapho ngibeka impindiselo yami phezu kwabo.
