Izikeli 8

1 Hagi namba 6si kafumofona namba 6si ikantera 5fu knazupa, Juda vahemokizmi ugagota vahe'tmina navuga manizage'na noni'afina mani'nogeno Ra Anumzamofo azamo'a nagrira nazerigeno hanave'amo'a nagrite e'ne.

Ngomnyaka wesithupha, ngenyanga yesithupha ngosuku lwesihlanu, lapho ngangihlezi endlini yami labadala bakoJuda behlezi phambi kwami, isandla sikaThixo Wobukhosi sehlela phezu kwami khonapho.

2 Ana hige'na koana vahe amema'agnaza ke'noe. Hagi ana vahe amema'agna zagamofo afafaretima urami'nefina teve anefakna higeno, afafareti'ma mareri anagamuma atre'nea avufgamo'a, ainireti'ma hiaza huno tusi tampretampare huno masanentake hu'ne.

Ngakhangela, ngabona ulutho olwalulesimo somuntu. Kusukela kokwakungathi lukhalo lwakhe kusiya phansi wayenjengomlilo, njalo kusukela lapho kusiya phezulu ukubonakala kwakhe kwakhazimula njengensimbi evuthayo.

3 Hagi ana vahekna zagamo'a azana rusuteno naseni nazokate nazeritege'na ava'nagnaza kogeno, Avamu'mo'a navresga huno monane mopane amu'nompi vuno, Jerusalemi mono kumapima unefraza kafama noti kazigama avugosama hunte'nerema havi anumzamofo amema'ama tro huntazageno me'neno Anumzamofoma azeri arimpama nehegeno kanivema nerere navareno vu'ne.

Welula okwakukhanya angathi yisandla wangibamba ngenwele zekhanda lami. UMoya wangiphakamisela phezulu phakathi komhlaba lezulu, kwathi ngemibono kaNkulunkulu wangisa eJerusalema, ekungeneni kwesango langasenyakatho yeguma langaphakathi, lapho okwakumi khona isithombe esibangela ubukhwele.

4 Anante'ma vu'nama koana navuga Israeli vahe Anumzamofo himamu masa'a Kebar timofo tavaonte'ma me'nege'nama ke'noankna huno me'nege'na kogeno,

Njalo khonapho phambili kwami kwakulenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, njengasembonweni engawubona egcekeni.

5 Anumzamo'a nagrikura amanage hu'ne, Vahe'mofo mofavremoka noti kaziga kavua ko. Anage hige'na noti kaziga navua kesga hu'na kogeno, noti kazigama kuma kafa tava'onte'ma kresramna vu itama me'nea tava'ontera havi anumzamofo amema'a me'negeno, Anumzamo'ma arimpagu'ma nehuno kanivema nerea havi anumzamofo amema'a me'negena ke'noe.

Wasesithi kimi, “Ndodana yomuntu, khangela ngasenyakatho.” Ngakho ngakhangela, kwathi entubeni esenyakatho kwesango le-alithari ngabona lesisithombe sobukhwele.

6 Anama negogeno'a Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Vahe'mofo mofavremoka, Israeli vahe'mo'zama kasrino hi'mnagema hu'nea avu'ava'ma nehu'za mono noni'afinti'ma afete'ma nahenati netrazana negampi? Hianagi ete mago'ene tusi'a hi'mnage huno kasri avu'ava zana kegahane.

Wasesithi kimi, “Ndodana yomuntu, uyakubona yini abakwenzayo, izinto ezenyanyekayo kakhulu indlu ka-Israyeli ezenzayo lapha, izinto ezizangixotshela khatshana lendawo yami engcwele? Kodwa wena uzabona izinto ezenyanyekayo kakhulukazi kulalezi.”

7 Hagi anantetira mono kumamofo kafante navareno vige'na koana, ana kumamofo have keginafina mago kamo hagro hunege'na ke'noe.

Emva kwalokho wangisa entubeni yeguma. Ngakhangela, ngabona imbobo emdulini.

8 Negogeno Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Vahe'mofo mofavremoka, have keginafima hagro hu'negenkama ke'nana kana kafio higena kafina koana mago kafa me'negena ke'noe.

Wasesithi kimi, “Ndodana yomuntu, khathesi gubha umduli.” Ngakho ngawugubha umduli ngasengibona umnyango khona.

9 Anama negogeno'a Anumzamo'a anage huno nasami'ne, Vunka agu'a ufrenka kasrino hi'mnage'ma hu'nea avu'avazama nehaza zantamina ko!

Wasesithi kimi, “Ngena ubone izinto ezimbi lezenyanyekayo abazenzayo lapha.”

10 Hige'na anampinkama ufre'na koana, ana nomofo agu'afina rugaraga asoparega ruzahu ruzahu zagama zamasaguregati'ma regrarohe'zama vanoma nehaza zagaramimofo amema'ane, agru osu zagaramimofo amema'aramine, Israeli vahe'moma kaza osu havi anumzama mono'ma hu'nentaza anumzantmimofo amema'aramine tro hunte'za evu'nazage'na ke'noe.

Ngakho ngangena phakathi ngakhangela, ngabona indawo yonke emidulini kufanekiswe inhlobo zezinto zonke ezihuquzelayo lezinyamazana ezenyanyekayo kanye lezithombe zonke zasendlini ka-Israyeli.

11 Hagi ana zamofo zamavuga Israeli ranra vahera 70'a otizageno, Safani nemofo Zasania'a amunoznifina oti'nege'na ke'noe. Hagi ana 70'a vahe'mo'za, mananentake'za negraza zuompa zamazampi eritere hu'za oti'nageno tevegumo'a zamasenirega marenerige'na ke'noe.

Phambi kwazo kwakumi abadala bendlu ka-Israyeli abangamatshumi ayisikhombisa, loJazaniya indodana kaShafani emi phakathi kwabo. Omunye lomunye wayephethe udengezi lokutshisela impepha ngesandla, luthunqa intuthu elephunga elimnandi elempepha.

12 Hagi anante Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne, Vahe'mofo mofavremoka, mago mago Israeli ranra vahe'mo'za'ma hanimpima keonke zagaramimofo amema'ama tro'ma hunte'nazafinkama nehaza avu'ava zana negano? Na'ankure zamagra hu'za Ra Anumzamo'a ama mopa amagena humi'neankino nontage hu'za nehaze!

Wathi kimi, “Ndodana yomuntu, ukubonile yini okwenziwa ngabadala bendlu ka-Israyeli emnyameni, omunye lomunye esendaweni yokukhonzela isithombe sakhe? Bathi, ‘UThixo kasiboni; uThixo uselilahlile ilizwe.’”

13 Anage nehuno amanage huno nasmi'ne, Menina mago'ane tusiza huno kasrino havizanfta hu'nea avu'ava nehanagenka zamagegahane.

Wabuye wathi, “Uzababona besenza izinto ezenyanyeka okudlula lokho.”

14 Anage nehuno navareno Ra Anumzamofo mono nomofona noti kaziga kafante vige'na, koana anampinka a'neramimo'za Tamusi havi anumzankura tusi zavi netazage'na ke'noe.

Emva kwalokho wangisa ekungeneni kwesango lasenyakatho kwendlu kaThixo, ngabona abesifazane behlezi khona belilela uThamuzi.

15 Anama negogeno'a Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne, Vahe'mofo mofavremoka, ama zana negano? Hianagi menina mago'ane kasrino havizanfta hu'nea avu'ava zana kaveri hugahue.

Wasesithi kimi, “Uyakubona lokhu na, ndodana yomuntu? Uzabona izinto ezenyanyeka kakhulu kulalokhu.”

16 Anage nehuno navareno Ra Anumzamofo nomofona agu'afinka ufrege'nama koana, Ra Anumzamofo mono nomofo kafantera ko noma kinte'naza nomofone, kresramnama vu itamofo amu'nompina 25'a venenemo'za ana mono nona zamefi humiza zage hanati kaziga zamavugosa huntene'za kepri hu'za zagemofonte monora hunentazage'na ke'noe.

Wasengisa egumeni lendlu kaThixo elingaphakathi, njalo khonapho ekungeneni kwethempeli, phakathi komkhandlu le-alithari, kwakulamadoda ayengaba ngamatshumi amabili lanhlanu. Ayekhothamele phansi elangeni empumalanga, efulathele ithempeli likaThixo. Ubuso bawo bukhangele empumalanga.

17 Anama negogeno'a Anumzamo'a huno, Vahe'mofo mofavremoka negano? Juda vahe'mo'za kasrino haviza hu'nea kefo avu'ava'ma nehazana, kagrama antahinana osi'za nehazafi? Hagi zamagra ana nehu'za ama mopafi vahe'ma ha'ma omerente emerente nehu'za, ohefri ahefri hu avu'avaza hu'za ama mopa eri antevite'za nazeri narimpa ahe'za nehazo? Ko, zamagra kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza zamo'a, Nagrira antahionami'za zafa azankuna hantagi'za zamagonare antazankna nehaze.

Wathi kimi, “Sewake wakubona lokhu na ndodana yomuntu? Kuyinto encane na ukuthi indlu kaJuda yenze izinto ezenyanyekayo abazenza lapha? Kumele ilizwe baligcwalise futhi ngodlakela, njalo bangithukuthelise kokuphela na? Bakhangele bebeka ugatsha empumulweni yabo!

18 E'ina hu'negu tusi narimpa ahezmante'na zamazeri haviza hugahue. Hagi nasunkura huzmante'na magomofona otregahue. Antahina zamazama hanuegu'ma ranke hu'za kezankea hugahazanagi, kezankezmia ontahigahue.

Ngakho ngizabaphatha ngentukuthelo; angiyikuba lesihawu kubo ngibayekele. Lanxa sebeklabalalela ezindlebeni zami, kangiyikubalalela.”
