Izikeli 31
1 Hagi Babilonima kinama ome hutama mani'nonkeno, 11nima hiankafumofona namba 3 ikantera, ese knazupa Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne.
Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wetshumi lanye, ngenyanga yesithathu, ngolokuqala lwenyanga, ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi, lisithi:
2 Vahe'mofo mofavre Izikieliga, Isipi kini ne' Ferone sondia vahe'anena amanage hunka zamasamio, tamagra mika vahera zamagatereta, tusi hihamu vahe mani'naze.
Ndodana yomuntu, tshono kuFaro inkosi yeGibhithe lexukwini lakhe: Ufanana lobani ebukhulwini bakho?
3 Hagi ko, Asiria vahe'mo'za Lebanoni sida zafagna hu'za knare'nare azankuna omente amente hazageno mago'a zafaramina tona huzmantene. Agra za'za huno amunagamu hampompi marerino, mika zafaramina zamagatere'ne.
Khangela, iAsiriya yayingumsedari eLebhanoni, omuhle ngengatsha, njengegusu elilomthunzi, njalo umude ngokuphakama, lesihloko sawo sasiphakathi kwengatsha eziqatha.
4 Hagi ana zafamofona timo ne'zana nemigeno, mopa agu'afima me'nea timo ana zafa ne'zana amigeno zazara hu'ne. Hagi ana zafaramima tima ne'zamiana, timo mika zafafina nevuno tina nezamie.
Amanzi awukhulisa, inziki yawuphakamisa, imifula yawo yageleza yazingelezela indawo ohlanyelwe kiyo, wakhuphela izifudlana zawo kuzo zonke izihlahla zeganga.
5 E'ina hunegu ana zafamo'a mika zafaramina hageno agatenereno, rama'a azanku'nareno ani'na kuronkuro hu'ne. Na'ankure agra rama'a ti agafafintira eri'negu anara hu'ne.
Ngakho-ke ubude bawo baphakama bedlula zonke izihlahla zeganga, lengatsha zawo zanda, lamahlumela awo aba made, ngenxa yamanzi amanengi, lapho uwaphumisa.
6 Hagi maka namaramimo'za ana zafa azankunataminte nona eme negizageno, mika zaga kafamo'za ana zafa agafafi anentara eme kasente'naze. Hagi ana zafamofo turunapi mika zamagima me'nea vahe'mo'za kokantegatira enemanize.
Lazo zonke izinyoni zamazulu zakha izidleke zazo ezingatsheni zawo, lenyamazana zonke zeganga zazalela ngaphansi kwengatsha zawo, langaphansi komthunzi wawo kwahlala izizwe zonke ezinkulu.
7 Hagi ana zafamofona hentofa azankunatmi me'ne. Na'ankure ana zafamofo arafu'namo'za rama'a tima me'nefi amefenkame urami'za tina ani avazu nehaze.
Ngokunjalo wawumuhle ebukhulwini bawo, ebudeni bengatsha zawo; ngoba impande yawo yayingasemanzini amanengi.
8 Hagi Anumzamofo hozafima me'nea sida zafamo'za ana zafa gnara osazageno, meni zafane mago'a zafaramimo'za ana zafa gnara osu'naze. Anumzamofo hozafima me'nea zafamo'zanena ana zafa gnara osu'naze.
Imisedari esivandeni sikaNkulunkulu yayingewufiphaze; izihlahla zamafiri zazingafanani lengatsha zawo; lezingelamaxolo zazingafanani lamahlumela awo; futhi kwakungekho sihlahla esivandeni sikaNkulunkulu esinjengawo ebuhleni bawo.
9 Na'ankure Nagra ana zafa rama'a azankunataminu konariria huntogeno knare'za higeno, mika Anumzamofo hozafima me'nea zafaramimo'za kezmasane nehaze.
Ngawenza waba muhle ngobunengi bezingatsha zawo, kwaze kwathi zonke izihlahla zeEdeni, ezazisesivandeni sikaNkulunkulu, zaba lomhawu ngawo.
10 E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzana Agra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Na'ankure agra mika zafaramina zamagatereno amunagamuma mareri'nea zanku agra avufga ra hu'ne.
Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ngenxa yokuthi uziphakamisile ngobude, uthutshise isihloko sawo ngaphakathi kwezingatsha eziqatha, lenhliziyo yawo yaziphakamisa ngobude bawo;
11 Ana hu'negu Nagra ana zafa nagotente'na namefi hunemina hankavenentake ha' vahe'mokizmi zamazampi zamavare antanenkeno, zamazeri havizantfa hugahie.
ngakho ngizawunikela esandleni solamandla wezizweni; uzakwenza lokwenza lawo; ngiwuxotshile ngenxa yenkohlakalo yawo.
12 Hagi ruregati vahe'ma zamazeri haviza hu'arema vugota hu'naza kefo vahe'mo'za ana zafa antagi atre'naze. Hagi ana zafamofo azankuna'mo'a agonaramimpine, agupofine, krahopina hantagiramino mase'ne. Hagi ana zafa agafafima nemaniza vahe'mo'za atre'za vu'za e'za hu'naze.
Njalo abemzini, abesabekayo bezizwe, bawuqumile bawutshiya; lengatsha zawo ziwele ezintabeni lakuzo zonke izihotsha; lamahlumela akhe ephulwe kuyo yonke imifula yelizwe; labo bonke abantu bomhlaba behlile basuka emthunzini wawo, bawutshiya.
13 Hagi maka namaramimo'za anama antagitre zafa atupare nemanizageno, zagagafamo'za ana zafamofo azankunatamimofo agofetu vano hu'naze.
Zonke inyoni zamazulu zizahlala phezu kwencithakalo yawo, lazo zonke inyamazana zeganga zizakuba phezu kwengatsha zawo.
14 E'inama hanigeno'a tinkenafima me'nea zafamo'za hage'za zaza hu'za mago'a zafaramina zamagate'nere'za zamavufaga rana osugahaze. Na'ankure zamagranena e'inahu kna hu'za frisaza vahe mani'nazanki'za, fri'za kerifima urami'za mani'naza vahe'ene umanigahaze.
Ukuze kungabi khona kuzo zonke izihlahla ngasemanzini eziziphakamisayo ngenxa yobude bazo, futhi zingafuqi isihloko sazo ngaphakathi kwezingatsha eziqatha, futhi zingemi ngokwazo ngobude bazo, zonke ezinatha amanzi; ngoba zonke zinikelwe ekufeni endaweni engaphansi yomhlaba, phakathi kwabantwana babantu, kulabo abehlela egodini.
15 Hagi Ra Anumzana Agra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, sida zafamo'ma frino fri vahe kumapima urami'nea kna zupa, mopa agu'afima me'nea tintamina hanuge'za zavi krafa hu'za zamasunku nehanage'na, mika tintamina eri tanegahue. Anama hanige'za maka Lebanoni zafamo'za zamasunku huza zavi nete'nageno maka zafamo'za hagege hugahaze. (Sheol h7585)
Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Mhla usehlela engcwabeni ngenza isililo, ngasibekela inziki ngenxa yawo, ngavimba izifula zayo, lamanzi amanengi amiswa; ngenza iLebhanoni ibe mnyama ngenxa yawo, lezihlahla zonke zeganga zabuna ngenxa yawo. (Sheol h7585)
16 Hagi ana zafama trakama huno'ma nemaseno vagri'ma hia agasasa kenu mago'a mopafi vahera Nagra zamazeri koro hu'noe. Hagi fri kumapima nevaza vahe'enema huntoge'noma nevige'za, Idenima me'naza zafamo'zane knare'nare zafama Lebanoni me'naza zafamo'zane, knare'ma hu'za tima e'neriza zafamo'zanena fri vahe kumapi mani'ne'za musena hu'naze. (Sheol h7585)
Ngenza izizwe zithuthumele ngomdumo wokuwa kwawo, lapho ngiwehlisela esihogweni lalabo abehlela egodini; lazo zonke izihlahla zeEdeni, ikhethelo lokuhle kweLebhanoni, zonke ezinatha amanzi, zaziduduza endaweni engaphansi yomhlaba. (Sheol h7585)
17 Hagi ana zafamofo tonapima nemaniza, agri'enema erigaherafiza nemaniza vahe'mo'za bainati kazinteti'ma zamahe'naza vahe'ene magoka matipina urami'naze. (Sheol h7585)
Lazo zehlela esihogweni kanye lawo, kulabo ababebulewe ngenkemba; lababeyingalo yawo ababehlala ngaphansi komthunzi wawo phakathi kwezizwe. (Sheol h7585)
18 Hagi Ideni hozafima me'nea zafaramimpintira ina zafamo kagri knara huno za'zara huno ragi'ane zafa me'ne? Hagi kagra Ideni hozafima me'nea zafaramine, magoka fri vahe kumapina uramita zamagoza anoma taga osu' vahe'ma kazinteti'ma zamahazage'zama mase'naza kumapi vugahaze. Ama ana zantamina Ferone mika sondia vahe'are fore hugahie huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.
Ufanana lobani ngokunjalo ngodumo langobukhulu phakathi kwezihlahla zeEdeni? Kanti uzakwehliselwa kanye lezihlahla zeEdeni endaweni engaphansi yomhlaba, ulale phakathi kwabangasokanga, kanye labo ababulewe ngenkemba. Lo nguFaro lexuku lakhe lonke, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
