Izikeli 23

1 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne,

Ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi futhi lisithi:

2 Vahe'mofo mofavre Izikieliga, mago a'mofo mofa'trena tare mani'na'e.

Ndodana yomuntu, kwakulabesifazana ababili, amadodakazi omfazi oyedwa.

3 Isipi kumate'ma kasefa mofa'trema mani'na'a knafi agafa huke savrira nehuke, monko avu'ava zana nehakeno vene'nemo'za amiznimofona azeri'za zopasi'na nere'za zanavufagarera zokagora rezanante'naze.

Basebesenza ubuwule eGibhithe; benza ubuwule ebutsheni babo; amabele abo abotozwa khonapho, lengono zobuntombi babo zacindezelwa khonapho.

4 Hagi nuna'amofo agi'a Oholaki, negana agi'a Oholiba'e. Hagi zanagra nagri su'aseke mani'neke ne' mofavreramina kasenezmanteke mofaneramina kasezmante'na'e. Hagi Ohola'a e'i Sameria kumaki, Oholiba'a e'i Jerusalemi kumare.

Lamabizo abo ayenguOhola omdala, loOholiba umnawakhe. Njalo babengabami, bazala amadodana lamadodakazi. Lamabizo abo: UOhola uyiSamariya, loOholiba uyiJerusalema.

5 Hagi Ohola'a nagri a' mani'neanagi monkotera tusiza huno vano nehuno, tavaoma'arema nemania Asiria sondia vahera zamavaririno savarira huno vano hu'ne.

UOhola wasesenza ubuwule engaphansi kwami, wakhanuka izithandwa zakhe, amaAsiriya aseduze,

6 Hagi ana vahetamina hokonke kukena hu'naza gavana kva vahetamine, sondia vahete kva vahetaminki'za ana makamo'za hosi agumpi vano nehaza hentofa nehazaveramine.

agqoke okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, abalawulimabutho lababusi, bonke bengamajaha aloyisekayo, abagadi bamabhiza begade amabhiza.

7 Hagi ana a'mo'a maka ana hentofa nehazaveramina zamavesi nezmanteno monkozana nehuno, ana Asiria vahe'mofo kaza osu havi anumzante monora hunteno azeri pehena hu'ne.

Ngokunjalo wanika ubuwule bakhe kubo, bonke belikhethelo labantwana beAsiriya, lakubo bonke obakhanukayo; wazingcolisa ngazo zonke izithombe zabo.

8 Hagi ko'ma Isipima kasefa mofa'ma mani'neno'ma monkote'ma nehige'zama, venenemo'zama ante'za nemase'za, avufaga zopasi'nama nere'za, monkozama hunte'za e'naza avu'ava zana otre'ne.

Futhi kabuyekelanga ubuwule bakhe abuya labo eGibhithe, ngoba ebutsheni bakhe balala laye, bona-ke bacindezela izingono zobuntombi bakhe, bathululela ukuphinga kwabo phezu kwakhe.

9 E'ina hu'negu agrama avesima nezmantege'zama, azerisavari hu'za monko'zama hunentaza Asiria vahe zamazampi antoe.

Ngakho ngamnikela esandleni sezithandwa zakhe, esandleni sabantwana beAsiriya ayebakhanuka.

10 Hagi ana vahe'mo'za Oholana mika'a kukena'a eri hatetre'za azeri agaze nehu'za, ne' mofavreramima'ane mofane'araminena zamavare'za nevu'za, agrira bainati kazinteti ahe fri'naze. Ana higeno a'nemo'za Ohola avufare'ma fore'ma hu'nea zankura huge antahige hu'naze.

Bona baveza ubunqunu bakhe; bathatha amadodana lamadodakazi akhe, bambulala ngenkemba; wasesiba libizo phakathi kwabesifazana, lapho benza isahlulelo phezu kwakhe.

11 Hagi negna Oholiba'a ama ana zana ke'neanagi, agu'a rukrahera osu'neanki, nuna'amo'ma hu'nea avu'avara agatereno vene'nea kenunu nehuno ana veneneraminena rama'a monko avu'ava hu'ne.

Kwathi umnawakhe uOholiba ekubona, wonakala ekukhanukeni kwakhe kulaye, lebuwuleni bakhe okwedlula ubuwule bukadadewabo.

12 Hagi Oholiba'a Asiria kva vahetamina ke anunu nehuno, gavana vahetamine, sondia vahete kva vahetamine, hosi agumpima maniza nevaza vahe'ene, knare kukenama hu sondia vahetamina maka hentofaza hu'naza kasefa veneneraminkino zamagenunu huno avesi'zmante'ne.

Wakhanuka abantwana beAsiriya, abalawulimabutho lababusi abaseduze, abagqoke okupheleleyo, abagadi bamabhiza begade amabhiza, bonke bengamajaha akhanukekayo.

13 Ana hige'nama koana nuna'amo Oholiba'ma hu'neaza huno monko'zana nehuno, agra'a tusiza huno azeri pehena hu'ne.

Ngasengibona ukuthi ungcolisiwe; bobabili babelendlelanye.

14 Hianagi Oholiba'a rama'a monko avu'ava zana huno vu'ne. Ana nehuno have keginare'ma Babiloni vahe'mofo amema'ama frage'za krentete'za koranke masavema frente'naza vahe zamema'ama zamage'neana,

Wasesengezelela ebuwuleni bakhe; lapho ebona abesilisa bebazwe ngokugujwa emdulini, izithombe zamaKhaladiya zibazwe ngokugujwa ngokubomvu,

15 zamu nofi'ma zamafafafima ananeki'za, zamanunte'ma anaki tavarave zmanuntera anaki'za, ana makamo'za Babiloni kamani eri'za vahe kna hu'nageno zamage'ne.

bebhince ibhanti ezinkalweni zabo, belamaqhiye alengayo emakhanda abo, bonke bekhangeleka beyiziphathamandla, umfanekiso wabantwana beBhabhiloni, beKhaladiya, ilizwe lokuzalwa kwabo.

16 Hagi ana vahe'mokizmi zamema'ama negeno'a, kenunu huno avesi nezmanteno, ana vahe'ma esanageno'ma zamagranema monkozama hanigu kema erino vuno eno'ma hu' vahera huzmantege'za Babiloni vu'naze.

Wasebakhanuka ekubaboneni ngamehlo akhe, wathuma izithunywa kubo eKhaladiya.

17 Ana hige'za Babiloni vahe'mo'za eme ante'za mase'ne'za monkozana hunte'za azeri pehena hu'naze. Hagi ana'ma hu'za monkozama hu'za azeri pehenama hutazageno'a, ana vahetamina tusiza huno avesra huzmanteno agote'zmante'ne.

Amadodana eBhabhiloni afika kuye embhedeni wothando, amngcolisa ngokuphinga kwawo, wasengcoliswa yiwo; khona umphefumulo wakhe wehlukaniswa lawo.

18 Hagi ana monko avu'ava zana Oholiba'a amate avufga avapako vano nehuno ana avu'ava zana nehige'za ke'naze. E'inama nuna'amo'ma higenama Nagra navesra hunte'na nagotenente'na namefi'ma humi'noaza hu'na namefi humi'noe.

Wasesembula ubuwule bakhe, wembula ubunqunu bakhe; khona umphefumulo wami wehlukaniswa laye, njengalokhu umphefumulo wami wehlukaniswa lodadewabo.

19 Hianagi Oholiba'a Isipima mofa'ma mani'neno'ma monkote'ma huno vanoma hu'nea agesa nentahino, tusiza huno mago'ane monkozana huvava huno vu'ne.

Kodwa wandisa ubuwule bakhe, ngokukhumbula izinsuku zobutsha bakhe afebe ngazo elizweni leGibhithe.

20 Ana nehuno donki afu'mofo agozagna zamago'za huntegeno, hosi afu'mofo agozarimo'ma aviteankna'ma hu'nea Isipi vahe'enena monkozana huno vano hu'ne.

Wasekhanuka izithandwa zabo, onyama yazo iyinyama yabobabhemi, lokukhihliza kwazo kuyikukhihliza kwamabhiza.

21 Ana nehunka Oholibaga Isipima mofa'ma mani'nanke'zama aminka'arema azeriza, zopasi'nama nere'za knara'ma kante'za monkozama hugante'naza zanku tusiza hunka antahintahi nehunka, ana'ma hanana zanku kave'nesie.

Ngokunjalo wena wakhumbula amanyala obutsha bakho, ekucindezelweni kwengono zakho ngamaGibhithe, ngenxa yamabele obutsha bakho.

22 Hagi e'ina hu'negu Oholibaga Mikozama Kegavama Hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, monkozama hugantazagenka kagote zamantenka kamefi'ma huzami'nana vahetamina zamarimpa re'nuge'za, maka kazigati eme kavazagi kagi'za ha' eme hugantegahaze.

Ngakho, wena Oholiba, itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngizavusa izithandwa zakho zimelane lawe, owehlukana lazo umphefumulo wakho, ngizilethe zimelane lawe zivela inhlangothi zonke;

23 Hagi e'i ana vahetamina zamavare atruma hanuana, Babiloni vahetamima, maka Kaldia vahetamima, Pekodi vahe'ma, Soa vahe'ma, Koa nagapinti vahetamima, maka Asiria gavana vahetmima, sondia vahete kva vahetamima, hosi agumpima maniza vano nehu'za ha'ma nehaza hentofa nehazaveramina zamavare atru hanuge'za hara huramantegahaze.

abantwana beBhabhiloni, lamaKhaladiya wonke, iPekodi, leShowa, leKowa, labo bonke abantwana beAsiriya kanye labo, bonke bengamajaha akhanukekayo, abalawulimabutho, lababusi, izinduna, labalodumo, bonke begade amabhiza.

24 E'ina hanuge'za tusi'a vahe'mo'za ha'zazmia eri'neza aini fetori zamia nentaniza avazuma nehaza karisifine ha' zazmia erinte'za e'za nazanoma huramante'naku'ma hanaza zana zamagra avu'avapi avrente'za maka kazigati e'za hara eme hugantegahaze.

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 Ana nehu'na kanive regante'noankino zamagra zamarimpa ahenegante'za kazeri havizantfa hugahaze. Ana nehu'za kagesane kagonanena taga hunetre'za, amanema manisaza vahera kazinteti zamahe nefri'za ne'mofatamia zamavare'za nevu'za, amnema manisazama'a zamazeri'za tevefi kre tasagegahaze.

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 Ana nehu'za kukenaka'a maka hatenetre'za, zago'amo'ma marerisa kavasese zanka'a hate'za erigahaze.

Futhi bazakuhlubula izigqoko zakho, bathathe iziceciso zakho ezinhle.

27 E'ina hu'na Isipima mani'nenka erigafa hunka hu'nana monko kavukava zana eri amanea hugahue.

Ngokunjalo ngizaqeda amanyala akho kuwe, lobuwule bakho owasuka labo elizweni leGibhithe, ukuze ungabe uphakamisela amehlo akho kubo, ungabe usakhumbula iGibhithe.

28 Na'ankure Ra Anumzana Miko'zama Kegava Hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a amanagea hie. Kavresra hunezmantenka kago'ma ate'zmantenka kamefi'ma huzamina vahe'mokizmi zamazampi Nagra kavrente'za nehue.

Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngizakunikela esandleni salabo obazondayo, esandleni salabo umphefumulo wakho owehlukaniswe labo.

29 Ana vahe'mo'za kazeri haviza nehu'za, amuhoma hunka erifore'ma hunana fenonka'aramina eri hana hu'za vanagenka, kavufga kavapako manigahane. Ana hanankeno maka vahe'mo'za monko zama nehana kavufga amate kegahaze. Kagrama savri'ma hunka monko zama hunkama vano hanazamo,

Njalo bazakuphatha ngenzondo, bathathe wonke umtshikatshika wakho, bakutshiye unqunu uze; lobunqunu bobuwule bakho buzakwembulwa, lamanyala akho lobuwule bakho.

30 higeno ama ana hazenkea avreno eme kamie. Na'ankure ru kumatamimpi venenemo'zama monko zama hugantesazegu zamavesi nezmantenka, zamazanteti'ma antre'za tro'ma hu'naza havi anumzantaminte monora huntenka kagraka'a kazeri pehena hu'nane.

Lezizinto zizakwenziwa kuwe, ngoba ulandele abezizweni ngokuwula, langenxa yokuthi wangcoliswa ngezithombe zabo.

31 Hagi kagra nunakamo'ma hu'nea avu'ava amage antenka hu'nananki'na, agri'ma narimpa ahente'na knazama ami'noankna knazana kagrira kamigahue.

Uhambile ngendlela kadadewenu; ngakho ngizanikela inkezo yakhe esandleni sakho.

32 Hagi miko'zama kegavama hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, Nunakamo'ma ne'nea rankapufi narimpa ahe'zana tagi kaminugenka rama'a negahane. Ana hananke'za vahe'mo'za hunte'za kagi'za regahaze.

Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Uzanatha inkezo kadadewenu ezikileyo lebanzi; uzakuba yinhlekisa lokuklolodelwa; imumethe okunengi.

33 Hagi ana tima nesnunka neginagi nehunka, kasunku'ma hanana zamo'a kazeri havizantfa hugahie. Na'ankure e'i ana kapua nunakamofo Sameria kapue.

Uzagcwala ukudakwa losizi, inkezo yesesabiso lencithakalo, inkezo kadadewenu iSamariya.

34 Hagi ana kapufinti tina nehana hanankeno hagege hugahie. Ana hutenka ana kapua aru praro nevazinka aminka'a nemasaginka kasunkura hugahane huno Mikozama Kegava Hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

Yebo, uzayinatha, uyibhije, uphahlaze indengezi zayo, utshuphule amabele akho; ngoba ngikhulumile, itsho iNkosi uJehova.

35 E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, Kagra kamefi Nagrira hunaminka kagekani nenantenka, savri'ma hunka vano nehunka, monkozama hunka vanoma hu'nana mizama'a kagra erigahane.

Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ngoba ungikhohliwe, wangilahlela ngemva komhlana wakho, ngakho lawe thwala amanyala akho lobuwule bakho.

36 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne, Vahe'mofo mofavre Izikieliga, knare Oholane Oholibakiznia keagarera zanavrentenka keagaznia refko hugahampi? Hi'mnage avu'ava'ma neha'a avu'ava'znia huama hunka zanasamio.

INkosi yathi futhi kimi: Ndodana yomuntu, uzakwahlulela uOhola loOholiba yini? Yebo, batshele izinengiso zabo.

37 Na'ankure zanagrama savri huke ru vene monko zama ome nehuke, vahe'ma zamahe fri'na'a koramo'a zanazampina me'ne. Vahe'mozama zamazanteti'ma antre'za tro'ma hunte'naza havi anumzantamine monko zana nehuke, ne'za ofama nehiaza huke Nagrama zanami'noa mofavreramina zamaheke ana havi anumzante Kresramana vunte'na'e.

Ngoba bafebile, legazi lisezandleni zabo, njalo bafebile lezithombe zabo, futhi lamadodana abo, abangizalele wona, bawadabulise emlilweni ukuthi abe yikudla.

38 Hagi mago'ene nagritera anahu kna avu'ava hunante'na'e. Zanagra ana zupage seli mono noni'a eri pehena nehuke, Sabati knani'a kegava osuke, eri haviza hu'na'e.

Babuye benza lokhu kimi: Bangcolise indawo yami engcwele ngalolosuku, bangcolisa lamasabatha ami.

39 Hagi vahe'mo'zama zamazanteti'ma tro'ma hu'naza havi anumzante mofavrezania aheke Kresramana vunenteke, anankna zupa seli mono noni'afina emarerike eri pehena hu'na'e. E'inahu knaza Nagri mono nompina hu'na'e.

Ngoba sebebulalele izithombe zabo abantwana babo, basebengena ngalona lolosuku endaweni yami engcwele ukuthi bayingcolise; khangela-ke, benze njalo phakathi kwendlu yami.

40 Hagi ana nehuke kema erino vuno eno'ma hu vahete kea atrake'za, vu'za afeteti vahera ome zamavare'za e'naze. Hagi ana vene'nema avre'za neazageta'a tanagra tina freta masave konariria nehuta, zago'amo'ma marerisa avasesezanu tanavasasea hu'na'e.

Lalokho ukuthi bathumele kumadoda avela khatshana, okwathunywa kiwo isithunywa, khangela-ke, afika; owawagezelayo, wacomba amehlo akho, wazicecisa ngeziceciso.

41 Hagi tanagra zamana zamana tafe hu'naza sipare mani'neta, tanavugama me'nea tratera Nagri mananentake'za insensine masavenena ante'na'e.

Wahlala embhedeni okhazimulayo, letafula lalungiswa phambi kwawo, owabeka phezu kwalo impepha yami lamafutha ami.

42 Hagi anampina ruzahu ruzahu vahe'mo'za kereso nehazageno, tima ne'za neginagima nehaza vahe'ma hagege kokampinti'ma zamavare'zama e'naza vahe'mo'za ana atre'mokizni zanazampina asana antani nezanante'za, zanasenifina avasese'ane kuini fetorira antani zanante'naze.

Lelizwi lexuku elonwabileyo lalilaye; lakumadoda exuku labantu kwalethwa amaSabeya avela enkangala, afaka amasongo ezandleni zawo, lomqhele omuhle emakhanda awo.

43 Anama hutazage'na ve'ama atreno monkote'ma vano nehige'zama, monko zama hunte'za nevazageno avresragu'ma nehia akura nagra amanage hu'noe. Menina ama ara ama venenemo'za zamatrenke'za monko a'nema nehazaza hu'za monkozana hunteho. Na'ankure agra monko a' mani'ne.

Ngasengisithi kowesifazana owayeguge ngokufeba: Khathesi bazakwenza ubuwule laye, yena-ke labo.

44 Hagi ana vahe'mo'za monko a'nema monko zama hunentazaza hu'za, ana ara ante'za mase'ne'za monko'zana hunte'naze. Ana hukna hu'za Oholane Oholibanena zanante'za mase'neza monko zana huznante'naze.

Basebengena kuye, njengoba besiya kowesifazana oyisifebe; ngokunjalo bangena kuOhola lakuOholiba, abesifazana abalamanyala.

45 Hianagi fatgo zamavu'zmavama nehaza vahe'mo'za, ve'zanima atreke monko'zama huke vanoma nehuke vahe'ma zamahe nefri'a zantera keaga huznante'za knazana zanamigahaze. Na'ankure zanagra ve'zania atreke monkote huke vano nehuke, vahe'ma zamaheke korama eri tagina'a zante zanagra knazana erigaha'e.

Kodwa amadoda alungileyo wona azabagweba, ngokwendlela yezifebekazi langendlela yabesifazana abachitha igazi; ngoba bayizifebekazi, njalo igazi lisezandleni zabo.

46 Hagi Miko'zama Kegavama Hu'nea Anumzamo'a amanage hie, tusi'a sondia vahetami zamavarenka ege'za, ana atre'mofo zantamina arohu eme zanare'za eneri'za zanazeri koro hiho.

Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ngizabenyusela ixuku, ngibanikele babe yisesabiso njalo babe yimpango.

47 Hagi ana sondia vahe'mo'za ana a'trena havenknonu zanahe frite'za, bainati kazinknonu rukafri netre'za ne'mofazania zamahe nefri'za nozania teve taginte'nageno tegahie.

Njalo ixuku lizabakhanda ngamatshe, libaqume ngezinkemba zalo, libulale amadodana abo lamadodakazi abo, litshise izindlu zabo ngomlilo.

48 E'ina hu'na ana mopafina savari monko avu'ava zana eri fanane hanugeno, maka a'nanemo'za nege'za ana a'tre'mokema hu'na'a monko zanavu'zanava zana ovaririgahaze.

Ngokunjalo ngizakwenza amanyala aphele elizweni, ukuze bonke abesifazana bafundiswe ukuthi bangenzi ngokwamanyala enu.

49 Hagi tanagrama monko avu'ava zama nehuta, vahe'mo'zama zamazanteti'ma antre'za tro'ma hunte'naza havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hu'na'a zante tanagra knazana e'nerita, Ra Anumzana Miko'zama Kegavama Hu'nea Anumza mani'ne huta Nagrikura keta antahita hugaha'e.

Ngokunjalo bazabeka amanyala enu phezu kwenu, lithwale izono zezithombe zenu. Lizakwazi-ke ukuthi ngiyiNkosi uJehova.
