Ezekieli 23
1 Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
Ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi futhi lisithi:
2 “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, nĩ kwarĩ na andũ-a-nja eerĩ, airĩtu a nyina ũmwe.
Ndodana yomuntu, kwakulabesifazana ababili, amadodakazi omfazi oyedwa.
3 Nĩmatuĩkire ahũũri maraya kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, makĩambĩrĩria ũmaraya kuuma marĩ ethĩ. Marĩ kũu bũrũri-inĩ ũcio nĩmahutagio nyondo, na makahambatwo ithũri cia ũirĩtu wao.
Basebesenza ubuwule eGibhithe; benza ubuwule ebutsheni babo; amabele abo abotozwa khonapho, lengono zobuntombi babo zacindezelwa khonapho.
4 Ũrĩa mũkũrũ eetagwo Ohola, nake mwarĩ wa nyina eetagwo Oholiba. Maarĩ akwa, nao magĩciara aanake na airĩtu. Ohola nĩwe Samaria, nake Oholiba nĩwe Jerusalemu.
Lamabizo abo ayenguOhola omdala, loOholiba umnawakhe. Njalo babengabami, bazala amadodana lamadodakazi. Lamabizo abo: UOhola uyiSamariya, loOholiba uyiJerusalema.
5 “Ohola nĩahũũraga ũmaraya o na arĩ wakwa; nake nĩeriragĩria endwa ake, na nĩo andũ a Ashuri, o acio maarĩ njamba cia ita
UOhola wasesenza ubuwule engaphansi kwami, wakhanuka izithandwa zakhe, amaAsiriya aseduze,
6 mehumbĩte nguo cia rangi wa bururu, na aathani na anene a ita, acio othe maarĩ andũ ethĩ ciĩrorerwa, o arĩa maathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi.
agqoke okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, abalawulimabutho lababusi, bonke bengamajaha aloyisekayo, abagadi bamabhiza begade amabhiza.
7 Nĩeneanire ta mũmaraya harĩ andũ othe arĩa atĩĩku thĩinĩ wa Ashuri, na agĩĩthaahia na mĩhianano yothe ya mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa eeriragĩria.
Ngokunjalo wanika ubuwule bakhe kubo, bonke belikhethelo labantwana beAsiriya, lakubo bonke obakhanukayo; wazingcolisa ngazo zonke izithombe zabo.
8 Ndaatiganire na ũmaraya ũcio aambĩrĩirie arĩ bũrũri wa Misiri, rĩrĩa andũ maakomaga nake arĩ mwĩthĩ na makahambataga gĩthũri kĩa ũirĩtu wake, o na magĩkĩrĩrĩria kũhũũra ũmaraya nake.
Futhi kabuyekelanga ubuwule bakhe abuya labo eGibhithe, ngoba ebutsheni bakhe balala laye, bona-ke bacindezela izingono zobuntombi bakhe, bathululela ukuphinga kwabo phezu kwakhe.
9 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩmũneana harĩ endwa ake, nĩo andũ a Ashuri o acio eeriragĩria.
Ngakho ngamnikela esandleni sezithandwa zakhe, esandleni sabantwana beAsiriya ayebakhanuka.
10 Nĩmamũrutire nguo, makĩmũtunya ariũ na aarĩ ake, na makĩmũũraga na rũhiũ rwa njora. Nĩatuĩkire wa kuunagwo thimo gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ-a-nja, nake nĩ aaherithirio.
Bona baveza ubunqunu bakhe; bathatha amadodana lamadodakazi akhe, bambulala ngenkemba; wasesiba libizo phakathi kwabesifazana, lapho benza isahlulelo phezu kwakhe.
11 “Mwarĩ wa nyina Oholiba nĩeyoneire maũndũ macio, no merirĩria-inĩ make o na ũmaraya-inĩ wake nĩeekire mĩtugo mĩaganu gũkĩra mwarĩ wa nyina.
Kwathi umnawakhe uOholiba ekubona, wonakala ekukhanukeni kwakhe kulaye, lebuwuleni bakhe okwedlula ubuwule bukadadewabo.
12 O nake nĩeriragĩria andũ a Ashuri, arĩa maarĩ aathani na anene a ita, na njamba cia ita ciĩhumbĩte nguo irĩ riiri, o arĩa maathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi, acio othe maarĩ andũ ethĩ ciĩrorerwa.
Wakhanuka abantwana beAsiriya, abalawulimabutho lababusi abaseduze, abagqoke okupheleleyo, abagadi bamabhiza begade amabhiza, bonke bengamajaha akhanukekayo.
13 Nĩndonire atĩ o nake nĩethaahĩtie; eerĩ maathiiaga na mĩthiĩre ĩhaanaine.
Ngasengibona ukuthi ungcolisiwe; bobabili babelendlelanye.
14 “No rĩrĩ, we nĩakĩrĩrĩirie kũhũũra ũmaraya. Nĩoonire arũme makururĩtwo rũthingo-inĩ, nayo yarĩ mĩhiano ya Akalidei ĩkururĩtwo na rangi mũtune,
Wasesengezelela ebuwuleni bakhe; lapho ebona abesilisa bebazwe ngokugujwa emdulini, izithombe zamaKhaladiya zibazwe ngokugujwa ngokubomvu,
15 meeohete mĩcibi njohero na iremba mĩtwe icunjuurĩte; othe monekaga mahaana ta atwarithia a ngaari cia mbarathi cia ita a Babuloni, andũ a gũciarĩrwo Kalidei.
bebhince ibhanti ezinkalweni zabo, belamaqhiye alengayo emakhanda abo, bonke bekhangeleka beyiziphathamandla, umfanekiso wabantwana beBhabhiloni, beKhaladiya, ilizwe lokuzalwa kwabo.
16 O rĩrĩa aamoonire, nĩamerirĩirie, akĩmatũmĩra andũ kũu Kalidei.
Wasebakhanuka ekubaboneni ngamehlo akhe, wathuma izithunywa kubo eKhaladiya.
17 Ningĩ andũ a Babuloni magĩũka kũrĩ we, kũu kĩrĩrĩ-inĩ kĩa wendo, nao makĩmũthaahia nĩ ũndũ wa merirĩria mao. Thuutha wa gũthaahio nĩo, agĩtigana nao, akĩira ngoro nĩo.
Amadodana eBhabhiloni afika kuye embhedeni wothando, amngcolisa ngokuphinga kwawo, wasengcoliswa yiwo; khona umphefumulo wakhe wehlukaniswa lawo.
18 Rĩrĩa aathiire na mbere na ũmaraya wake atekũhitha, na akĩguũria njaga yake, niĩ na niĩ nĩndatiganire nake ngĩmũmena, ngĩtigana nake o ta ũrĩa ndaatiganire na mwarĩ wa nyina.
Wasesembula ubuwule bakhe, wembula ubunqunu bakhe; khona umphefumulo wami wehlukaniswa laye, njengalokhu umphefumulo wami wehlukaniswa lodadewabo.
19 No rĩrĩ, we aakĩrĩrĩirie kũhũũra ũmaraya aaririkana matukũ marĩa aarĩ mwĩthĩ, rĩrĩa aarĩ mũmaraya kũu bũrũri wa Misiri.
Kodwa wandisa ubuwule bakhe, ngokukhumbula izinsuku zobutsha bakhe afebe ngazo elizweni leGibhithe.
20 Arĩ kũu, akĩĩrirĩria endwa ake, arĩa ciĩga ciao ciatariĩ ta cia ndigiri, na hinya wao wa ũndũrũme woimaga ta wa mbarathi.
Wasekhanuka izithandwa zabo, onyama yazo iyinyama yabobabhemi, lokukhihliza kwazo kuyikukhihliza kwamabhiza.
21 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ũkĩĩrirĩria ũũra-thoni wa wĩthĩ waku, rĩrĩa wahambatagwo gĩthũri na ũkahutio nyondo ciaku cia ũirĩtu ũrĩ kũu bũrũri wa Misiri.
Ngokunjalo wena wakhumbula amanyala obutsha bakho, ekucindezelweni kwengono zakho ngamaGibhithe, ngenxa yamabele obutsha bakho.
22 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, wee Oholiba, Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Nĩngarahũra endwa aku magũũkĩrĩre, acio watiganire nao ũkĩmamena, ndĩmarehe magũũkĩrĩre kuuma mĩena yothe,
Ngakho, wena Oholiba, itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngizavusa izithandwa zakho zimelane lawe, owehlukana lazo umphefumulo wakho, ngizilethe zimelane lawe zivela inhlangothi zonke;
23 andũ a Babuloni na Akalidei othe, na andũ a kuuma Pekodi, na Shoa, na Koa, marĩ hamwe na andũ a Ashuri othe, aanake arĩa ciĩrorerwa, arĩa othe matuĩtwo abarũthi na anene a ita, na anene a ngaari cia mbarathi cia ita na andũ arĩa marĩ igweta inene, nao othe mathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi.
abantwana beBhabhiloni, lamaKhaladiya wonke, iPekodi, leShowa, leKowa, labo bonke abantwana beAsiriya kanye labo, bonke bengamajaha akhanukekayo, abalawulimabutho, lababusi, izinduna, labalodumo, bonke begade amabhiza.
24 Nĩmagagũũkĩrĩra marĩ na matharaita, na ngaari cia mbarathi cia ita, na makaari, na marĩ na kĩrĩndĩ kĩingĩ; nao mabange magũũkĩrĩre kuuma mĩena yothe, marĩ na ngo iria nene na iria nini, na mekĩrĩte ngũbia cia kĩgera mĩtwe. Nĩngakũneana kũrĩ o ũherithio, nao nĩmagakũherithia kũringana na ũrĩa matuuanagĩra ciira.
Njalo bazakuza bemelene lawe belezikhali, izinqola, lamavili, langexuku labantu; bazamisa bemelene lawe ihawu lesihlangu lekhowa inhlangothi zonke; njalo ngizabeka isigwebo phambi kwabo, bakugwebe njengokwezigwebo zabo.
25 Nĩngerekeria marakara makwa ndĩ na ũiru ngũũkĩrĩre, nao nĩmagakũherithia marĩ na marakara manene. Nĩmagagũtinia maniũrũ na matũ, nao andũ anyu arĩa magaatigara nĩmakaniinwo na rũhiũ rwa njora. Magaataha ariũ anyu na aarĩ anyu, nao arĩa anyu magaatigara nĩmakaniinwo na mwaki.
Njalo ngizabeka ubukhwele bami bumelane lawe, bakuphathe ngolaka; bazasusa impumulo yakho lendlebe zakho, lensali yakho izakuwa ngenkemba; bona bazathatha amadodana lamadodakazi akho, lensali yakho izadliwa ngumlilo.
26 Ningĩ nĩmagakũruta nguo na makuue mathaga maku marĩa mega.
Futhi bazakuhlubula izigqoko zakho, bathathe iziceciso zakho ezinhle.
27 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩnganiina ũũra-thoni na ũmaraya ũrĩa wee waambĩrĩirie ũrĩ kũu bũrũri wa Misiri. Ndũkarora maũndũ macio ũmerirĩrie, kana ũririkane bũrũri wa Misiri rĩngĩ.
Ngokunjalo ngizaqeda amanyala akho kuwe, lobuwule bakho owasuka labo elizweni leGibhithe, ukuze ungabe uphakamisela amehlo akho kubo, ungabe usakhumbula iGibhithe.
28 “Nĩgũkorwo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Ndĩ hakuhĩ gũkũneana kũrĩ acio ũthũire, ngũneane kũrĩ acio wamenire ũkĩmahutatĩra.
Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngizakunikela esandleni salabo obazondayo, esandleni salabo umphefumulo wakho owehlukaniswe labo.
29 Magaakũherithia marĩ na rũthũũro, na magũtunye indo ciaku ciothe iria ũnogeire. Magaagũtiga njaga, ũrĩ ũtheri, nacio thoni cia ũmaraya waku nĩikaguũrio. Naguo ũũra-thoni na ũmaraya waku.
Njalo bazakuphatha ngenzondo, bathathe wonke umtshikatshika wakho, bakutshiye unqunu uze; lobunqunu bobuwule bakho buzakwembulwa, lamanyala akho lobuwule bakho.
30 nĩcio ikũreheire maũndũ macio, nĩgũkorwo nĩwerirĩirie ndũrĩrĩ icio, na ũgĩĩthaahia na mĩhianano yacio.
Lezizinto zizakwenziwa kuwe, ngoba ulandele abezizweni ngokuwula, langenxa yokuthi wangcoliswa ngezithombe zabo.
31 Wee ũrũmĩrĩire mĩthiĩre ya mwarĩ wa nyũkwa; nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngakũnengera gĩkombe gĩake ũkĩnyiite na guoko gwaku.
Uhambile ngendlela kadadewenu; ngakho ngizanikela inkezo yakhe esandleni sakho.
32 “Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: “Wee ũkaanyuĩra gĩkombe kĩa mwarĩ wa nyũkwa, gĩkombe kĩnene na kĩriku; nĩgĩkarehe kĩnyararo na itheko, nĩgũkorwo nĩkĩiyũrĩrĩru mũno.
Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Uzanatha inkezo kadadewenu ezikileyo lebanzi; uzakuba yinhlekisa lokuklolodelwa; imumethe okunengi.
33 Wee nĩũkaiyũrwo nĩ ũrĩĩu na kĩeha, gĩkombe kĩu kĩa mwanangĩko na ihooru, gĩkombe kĩu kĩa mwarĩ wa nyũkwa Samaria.
Uzagcwala ukudakwa losizi, inkezo yesesabiso lencithakalo, inkezo kadadewenu iSamariya.
34 Ũgaakĩnyuĩra na ũkĩinĩkĩrĩre; ũgaakĩringithia thĩ, kĩenyũkange icere, na wĩtarũrange nyondo. Nĩ niĩ njarĩtie ũhoro ũcio, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
Yebo, uzayinatha, uyibhije, uphahlaze indengezi zayo, utshuphule amabele akho; ngoba ngikhulumile, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
35 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Kuona atĩ wee nĩũriganĩirwo nĩ niĩ na ũkanjikia na thuutha waku, no nginya ũcookererwo nĩ maciaro ma ũũra-thoni waku na ũmaraya waku.”
Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ngoba ungikhohliwe, wangilahlela ngemva komhlana wakho, ngakho lawe thwala amanyala akho lobuwule bakho.
36 Jehova aanjĩĩrire atĩrĩ: Mũrũ wa mũndũ, nĩũgũtuĩra Ohola na Oholiba ciira? Nĩ ũndũ ũcio marũithie nĩ ũndũ wa mĩtugo yao ĩrĩ magigi,
INkosi yathi futhi kimi: Ndodana yomuntu, uzakwahlulela uOhola loOholiba yini? Yebo, batshele izinengiso zabo.
37 nĩgũkorwo nĩmatharĩtie, namo moko mao maiyũrĩte thakame. Matharĩtie na mĩhianano yao; o na makamĩrutĩra ciana ciao magongona, iria manjiarĩire, ituĩke irio ciayo.
Ngoba bafebile, legazi lisezandleni zabo, njalo bafebile lezithombe zabo, futhi lamadodana abo, abangizalele wona, bawadabulise emlilweni ukuthi abe yikudla.
38 O na ningĩ ũndũ ũngĩ manjĩkĩte nĩ ũyũ: Ihinda o rĩu nĩmathaahirie handũ-hakwa-harĩa-haamũre, na magĩthũkia Thabatũ ciakwa.
Babuye benza lokhu kimi: Bangcolise indawo yami engcwele ngalolosuku, bangcolisa lamasabatha ami.
39 Mũthenya o ro ũcio maarutire ciana ciao igongona kũrĩ mĩhianano yao-rĩ, noguo maatoonyire handũ-hakwa-harĩa-haamũre na makĩhathaahia. Ũguo nĩguo meekire thĩinĩ wa nyũmba yakwa.
Ngoba sebebulalele izithombe zabo abantwana babo, basebengena ngalona lolosuku endaweni yami engcwele ukuthi bayingcolise; khangela-ke, benze njalo phakathi kwendlu yami.
40 “O na ningĩ magĩtũmanĩra arũme arĩa mookire kuuma kũraya, na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maakinyire, mũgĩĩthamba nĩ ũndũ wao, na mũkĩĩhaka rangi maitho, na mũkĩĩgemia na mathaga.
Lalokho ukuthi bathumele kumadoda avela khatshana, okwathunywa kiwo isithunywa, khangela-ke, afika; owawagezelayo, wacomba amehlo akho, wazicecisa ngeziceciso.
41 Ningĩ mũgĩikarĩra ũrĩrĩ warĩtwo na ũkagemio mũno, na hau mbere yaguo hakaigwo metha ĩrĩa mwaigagĩrĩra ũbumba na maguta marĩa maarĩ makwa.
Wahlala embhedeni okhazimulayo, letafula lalungiswa phambi kwawo, owabeka phezu kwalo impepha yami lamafutha ami.
42 “Nake nĩarigiicĩirio nĩ kĩrĩndĩ kĩingĩ kĩanegenaga gĩtekũmaka; andũ a Sabea makĩrehwo kuuma werũ-inĩ, marĩ hamwe na gĩkundi kĩa andũ matarĩ igweta, nao magĩĩkĩra mũtumia ũcio na mwarĩ wa nyina bangiri moko, na makĩmekĩra tanji thaka mĩtwe.
Lelizwi lexuku elonwabileyo lalilaye; lakumadoda exuku labantu kwalethwa amaSabeya avela enkangala, afaka amasongo ezandleni zawo, lomqhele omuhle emakhanda awo.
43 Ningĩ ngĩaria ũhoro wa ũcio waniinĩtwo hinya nĩ ũtharia, ngiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Rĩu nĩmarekwo mamũhũthĩre ta mũmaraya, nĩgũkorwo ũguo nĩguo atariĩ.’
Ngasengisithi kowesifazana owayeguge ngokufeba: Khathesi bazakwenza ubuwule laye, yena-ke labo.
44 Nao magĩkoma nake. O ta ũrĩa arũme makomaga na mũmaraya, ũguo nĩguo maakomire na andũ-a-nja acio maagĩte thoni, nao nĩo Ohola na Oholiba.
Basebengena kuye, njengoba besiya kowesifazana oyisifebe; ngokunjalo bangena kuOhola lakuOholiba, abesifazana abalamanyala.
45 No andũ arĩa athingu nĩmakamaherithia na iherithia rĩa andũ-a-nja arĩa matharagia na magaitithia thakame, tondũ nĩmatharagia, na moko mao maiyũrĩte thakame.
Kodwa amadoda alungileyo wona azabagweba, ngokwendlela yezifebekazi langendlela yabesifazana abachitha igazi; ngoba bayizifebekazi, njalo igazi lisezandleni zabo.
46 “Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Mareherei kĩrĩndĩ kĩmookĩrĩre, na mũmaneane maguoyohithio na matahwo.
Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ngizabenyusela ixuku, ngibanikele babe yisesabiso njalo babe yimpango.
47 Kĩrĩndĩ kĩu nĩgĩkamahũũra na mahiga nyuguto na kĩmatemange na hiũ ciao cia njora; gĩkooraga aanake na airĩtu ao, na gĩcine nyũmba ciao.
Njalo ixuku lizabakhanda ngamatshe, libaqume ngezinkemba zalo, libulale amadodana abo lamadodakazi abo, litshise izindlu zabo ngomlilo.
48 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩnganiina ũũra-thoni kũu bũrũri ũcio nĩguo andũ-a-nja othe makaanio, matikaneke maũndũ ma ũtharia ta inyuĩ.
Ngokunjalo ngizakwenza amanyala aphele elizweni, ukuze bonke abesifazana bafundiswe ukuthi bangenzi ngokwamanyala enu.
49 Inyuĩ nĩmũkaherithio nĩ ũndũ wa ũũra-thoni wanyu, na mũcookererwo nĩ maciaro ma mehia manyu ma kũhooya mĩhianano. Na inyuĩ hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Mwathani Jehova.”
Ngokunjalo bazabeka amanyala enu phezu kwenu, lithwale izono zezithombe zenu. Lizakwazi-ke ukuthi ngiyiNkosi uJehova.
