Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:

Wothi kubo, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ingqungqulu enkulu elezimpiko ezilamandla, izinsiba ezinde njalo zinengi zimibalabala yafika eLebhanoni. Ibambe isihloko somsedari,

yephula ihlumela elalingaphezu kwawo wonke yalisa elizweni labathengisi lapho eyalihlanyela khona edolobheni labathengisi.
5 and to take: take from seed [the] land: country/planet and to give: put him in/on/with land: soil seed to take: take upon water many willow to set: make him
Yathatha enye yenhlanyelo yelizwe lakini yayifaka emhlabathini ovundileyo: Yayihlanyela njengomnyezane phansi kwamanzi amanengi,
6 and to spring and to be to/for vine to overrun low height to/for to turn branch his to(wards) him and root his underneath: stand him to be and to be to/for vine and to make alone: pole and to send: depart bough
yahluma yaba livini elifitshane elinabayo. Ingatsha zalo zaphendukela kuyo, kodwa impande zalo zaba ngaphansi kwalo. Ngakho laba livini laba lezingatsha ezilamahlamvu amanengi.
7 and to be eagle one great: large great: large wing and many plumage and behold [the] vine [the] this to hunger root her upon him and branch his to send: depart to/for him to/for to water: watering [obj] her from bed plantation her
Kodwa kwakulenye ingqungqulu enkulu elezimpiko ezilamandla lezinsiba ezinengi. Khathesi ivini lakhuphela impande zalo kuyo zisuka esivandeni elalihlanyelwe kuso njalo lelulela ingatsha zalo kuyo zifuna amanzi.
8 to(wards) land: soil pleasant to(wards) water many he/she/it to transplant to/for to make branch and to/for to lift: bear fruit to/for to be to/for vine clothing
Lalihlanyelwe emhlabathini omuhle phansi kwamanzi amanengi ukuze liveze ingatsha, lithele izithelo libe livini elihle.’

Wothi kubo, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Kambe lizakhula kuhle na? Kaliyikusitshunwa izithelo zalo ziqhululwe ukuba libune na? Wonke amahlumela alo azabuna. Akuyikusweleka ingalo elamandla kumbe abantu abanengi ukuba balisiphune.
10 and behold to transplant to prosper not like/as to touch in/on/with her spirit: breath [the] east to wither to wither upon bed branch her to wither
Lanxa lingayagxunyekwa kwenye indawo lingakhula kuhle na? Kambe kaliyikubuna okupheleleyo nxa umoya wasempumalanga ulihangula libune esivandeni elakhulela kuso na?’”
11 and to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say
Ilizwi likaThixo laselifika kimi lisithi:
12 to say please to/for house: household [the] rebellion not to know what? these to say behold to come (in): come king Babylon Jerusalem and to take: take [obj] king her and [obj] ruler her and to come (in): bring [obj] them to(wards) him Babylon [to]
“Tshono kule indlu ehlamukayo uthi, ‘Kalazi ukuthi izinto lezi zitshoni na?’ Tshono kubo uthi, ‘Inkosi yaseBhabhiloni yaya eJerusalema yathumba inkosi yalo kanye lezikhulu zalo yabuyela labo eBhabhiloni.
13 and to take: take from seed: children [the] kingship and to cut: make(covenant) with him covenant and to come (in): bring [obj] him in/on/with oath and [obj] leader [the] land: country/planet to take: take
Yathatha omunye wabenzalo yasesikhosini, yenza isivumelwano laye, yamfungisa. Yathumba lamanye amadoda elizwe adumileyo,
14 to/for to be kingdom low to/for lest to lift: raise to/for to keep: obey [obj] covenant his to/for to stand: stand her
ukuze umbuso uye phansi, ungavuki futhi, ume nje kuphela ngokugcina isivumelwano sayo.
15 and to rebel in/on/with him to/for to send: depart messenger his Egypt to/for to give: give to/for him horse and people: soldiers many to prosper to escape [the] to make: do these and to break covenant and to escape
Kodwa inkosi yamhlamukela ngokuthuma isithunywa eGibhithe ukuba ziyethatha amabhiza kanye lebutho elikhulu. Kambe izaphumelela na? Kambe lowo owenza izinto ezinje uzaphunyuka na? Kambe uzakwephula isivumelwano kodwa aphunyuke na?
16 alive I utterance Lord YHWH/God if: surely yes not in/on/with place [the] king [the] to reign [obj] him which to despise [obj] oath his and which to break [obj] covenant his with him in/on/with midst Babylon to die
Ngeqiniso elinjengoba ngikhona, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi, uzafela eBhabhiloni, elizweni lenkosi eyambeka esihlalweni sobukhosi, esifungo sayo wasidelela wephula lesivumelwano sayo.
17 and not in/on/with strength: soldiers great: large and in/on/with assembly many to make: do [obj] him Pharaoh in/on/with battle in/on/with to pour: build siege mound mound and in/on/with to build siegework to/for to cut: eliminate soul: life many
UFaro lebutho lakhe elilamandla kanye lexuku elikhulu akuyikumsiza empini, lapho sekwakhiwe amadundulu kwamiswa lemiduli yokuvimbezela ukuba kuchithwe imiphefumulo eminengi.
18 and to despise oath to/for to break covenant and behold to give: give hand: power his and all these to make: do not to escape
Wadelela isifungo ngokwephula isivumelwano. Ngoba wazibopha ngesifungo kodwa wasesenza zonke lezizinto akayikuphunyuka.
19 to/for so thus to say Lord YHWH/God alive I if: surely yes not oath my which to despise and covenant my which to break and to give: pay him in/on/with head his
Ngakho nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngeqiniso elinjengoba ngikhona, ngizakwehlisela phezu kwekhanda lakhe isifungo sami asidelayo kanye lesivumelwano sami asephulayo.
20 and to spread upon him net my and to capture in/on/with net my and to come (in): bring him Babylon [to] and to judge with him there unfaithfulness his which be unfaithful in/on/with me
Ngizamendlalela imbule lami, njalo uzabanjwa yisifu sami. Ngizamusa eBhabhiloni, ngenzele khona ukumahlulela kwami ngoba wayengathembekanga kimi.
21 and [obj] all (fugitive his *Q(K)*) in/on/with all band his in/on/with sword to fall: kill and [the] to remain to/for all spirit: breath to spread and to know for I LORD to speak: speak
Wonke amabutho akhe abalekayo azabulawa ngenkemba, abasindayo bazahlakazelwa emimoyeni. Lapho-ke lizakwazi ukuthi mina Thixo sengikhulumile.
22 thus to say Lord YHWH/God and to take: take I from treetop [the] cedar [the] to exalt and to give: put from head: top shoot his tender to pluck and to transplant I upon mountain: mount high and be eminent
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Mina ngokwami ngizathatha ihlumela kuso kanye isihloko somsedari ngilihlanyele; ngizakwephula ihlumela elibuthakathaka eklintini lawo eliphezulu kakhulu kulamanye ngilihlanyele phezu kwentaba ende ephakemeyo.
23 in/on/with mountain: mount height Israel to transplant him and to lift: bear branch and to make fruit and to be to/for cedar great and to dwell underneath: under him all bird all wing in/on/with shadow branch his to dwell
Ngizalihlanyela ezingqongeni zentaba yako-Israyeli; lizaveza ingatsha lithele lezithelo njalo libe ngumsedari omuhle. Izinyoni zezinhlobo zonke zizakwakhela izidleke zazo kuwo; zizathola ukusitheka emthunzini wezingatsha zawo.
24 and to know all tree [the] land: country for I LORD to abase tree high to exult tree low to wither tree fresh and to sprout tree dry I LORD to speak: speak and to make: do
Zonke izihlahla zeganga zizakwazi ukuthi mina Thixo ngifinyeza isihlahla eside ngenze esifitshane sikhule sibeside. Ngomisa isihlahla esiluhlaza ngenze esomileyo sihlume. Mina Thixo sengikhulumile, njalo ngizakwenza.’”
