UHezekheli 21
1 Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
Pea naʻe hoko mai kiate au ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,
2 “Ndodana yomuntu, khangelisa ubuso bakho eJerusalema utshumayele okubi ngendawo engcwele. Phrofetha okubi ngelizwe lako-Israyeli
“Foha ʻoe tangata, fakahangatonu ho mata ki Selūsalema, pea tuku hoʻo lea ki he ngaahi potu tapu, pea kikite ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli,
3 uthi kulo: ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngixabane lani. Ngizahwatsha inkemba yami emxhakeni wayo ngisuse kuwe abalungileyo lababi.
Pea ke lea ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli, ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Vakai, ʻoku ou tuʻu au kiate koe, pea te u unuhi ʻae heletā mei hono ʻaiʻanga, pea te u motuhi meiate koe ʻae māʻoniʻoni, pea mo e angahala.
4 Ngoba ngizasusa abalungileyo lababi, inkemba yami izahwatshelwa ukumelana labo bonke abavela eningizimu kanye lasenyakatho.
Pea ko ia, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku motuhi meiate koe ʻae māʻoniʻoni pea mo e angahala, ko ia, ʻe ʻalu atu ai ʻae heletā mei hono ʻaiʻanga, ki he kakano kotoa pē, mei he feituʻu tonga ʻo aʻu ki he tokelau:
5 Lapho-ke abantu bonke bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo sengihwatshe inkemba yami emxhakeni wayo, kayiyikubuyela futhi.’
Koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe he kakano kotoa pē, ko au, Sihova, kuo u unuhi ʻeku heletā mei hono ʻaiʻanga: pea ʻe ʻikai toe foki mai ia.”’
6 Ngakho-ke bubula ndodana yomuntu! Bubula phambi kwabo ngenhliziyo edabukileyo kanye losizi olukhulu.
“Ko ia ʻe foha ʻoe tangata, ke ke toʻetoʻe ʻi honau ʻao, ʻi he langa ho fatu pea mo e mamahi.
7 Nxa bekubuza besithi, ‘Kungani na ububula?’ uzakuthi, ‘Ngenxa yezindaba ezifikayo. Zonke inhliziyo zizenyela lezandla zonke zibe buthakathaka, imimoya yonke izaphela amandla lamadolo wonke abe buthakathaka njengamanzi.’ Kuyeza! Ngempela kuzakwenzakala, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.”
Pea ʻe pehē, ʻoka nau ka lea kiate koe, ‘Ko e hā ʻoku ke toʻe ai?’ Te ke tali, ʻo pehē, ‘Koeʻuhi ko e ongoongo; koeʻuhi ʻoku haʻu ia: pea ʻe molū ʻae loto kotoa pē, pea ʻe vaivai ʻae nima kotoa pē, pea ʻe pongia ʻae laumālie kotoa pē, pea ʻe hangē ko e vai ʻae tui kotoa pē: vakai, ʻoku haʻu ia, pea ʻe fakahoko ia,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.’”
8 Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
Pea naʻe toe hoko mai kiate au ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,
9 “Ndodana yomuntu, phrofetha uthi, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: Umhedla, umhedla, ilolwe njalo yalolongwa,
“Foha ʻoe tangata, kikite, pea ke pehē, ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; Lea, “ko e heletā, ko e heletā, kuo fakamāsila, pea kuo fakangingila ia foki:
10 Ilolelwe ukubulala, ilolongelwe ukuphazima njengombane. Kambe sizathokoza na ngentonga yobukhosi yendodana yami uJuda? Inkemba iyazeyisa zonke izigodo ezinjalo.
Kuo fakamāsila ia ke tāmate fakamanavahē; kuo fakangingila ia koeʻuhi ke ulo; pea ʻoku taau ai ia koā mo ʻetau fakavā? ʻOku taʻemamae ia ki he tokotoko ʻa hoku foha ʻo hangē ko e ʻakau kehe kotoa pē.
11 Inkemba ibekelwe ukuba ilolongwe, ukuba iphathwe ngesandla; iyalolwa ilolongwe, yenziwe ilungele isandla sombulali.
Pea kuo ne ʻatu ia ke fakangingila, koeʻuhi ke ngāue aki: kuo fakamāsila mo fakangingila ʻae heletā ni koeʻuhi ke ʻai ia ki he nima ʻoe tangata tāmate.”’
12 Hlaba umkhosi ulile, ndodana yomuntu, ngoba imelane labantu bami; imelane lamakhosana wonke ako-Israyeli. Aphoselwa kuyo inkemba ndawonye labantu bami. Ngakho-ke bamba isihlathi sakho.
Tangi mo ʻioho, ʻe foha ʻoe tangata: koeʻuhi ʻe hoko ia ki hoku kakai, ʻe hoko ia ki he houʻeiki kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli: ʻe tō ʻae manavahē ki hoku kakai, ko e meʻa ʻi he heletā: ko ia ke ke si tenga.
13 Ukuhlolwa kuyeza impela. Njalo kuzakuba njani nxa intonga kaJuda yobukhosi, edelelwa yinkemba, ingasaqhubeki? kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.’
“Koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ʻahiʻahi ia; pea ko e hā ʻoka taʻemamae [ʻae heletā ]ki he tokotoko?” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “ʻe ʻikai toe ʻi ai ia.
14 Ngakho-ke, ndodana yomuntu, phrofetha uqakeze izandla zakho. Inkemba kayigadle kabili, lanxa kungaba kathathu. Yinkemba yokubulala, inkemba yokubulala kakhulu, ebahanqayo ivela macele wonke.
“Ko ia foki, ʻe foha ʻoe tangata, kikite, pea pasi ho nima, pea tuku ke foki mai ʻae heletā ko hono liunga tolu, ʻae heletā ʻoe tāmate: ko e heletā ia ʻoe kau tau kuo tāmateʻi, ko ia ia ʻoku hū atu ki honau ngaahi potu fale fakalilolilo.
15 Ukuze inhliziyo zibe buthakathaka labawileyo babebanengi, sengibeke inkemba yokubulala kuwo wonke amasango abo. Bheka! Yenzelwe ukuphazima njengombane, iphathelwe ukubulala.
Kuo u ʻai ʻae muʻa heletā ki honau ngaahi matapā, koeʻuhi ke vaivai ai honau loto, pea fakalahi ai honau maumauʻi: ʻOiauē! Kuo fakangingila, pea kuo fakamata ia ki he tāmate.
16 Wena nkemba, geca kwesokudla, uphinde kwesenxele, loba kungaphi ubukhali bakho obuphendukela khona.
ʻAlu atu pe koe, ʻi ha hala, ki he nima toʻomataʻu, pe ki he toʻohema, ha potu pe ʻoku fakahanga ki ai ho mata.
17 Lami futhi ngizaqakeza izandla zami, njalo ulaka lwami luzadeda. Mina Thixo sengikhulumile.”
Te u pasi tataha ʻeau, hoku nima; pea te u fakahoko kiate koe ʻa hoku tuputāmaki: Ko au Sihova, kuo u lea ʻaki eni.”
18 Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
Naʻe toe hoko foki kiate au ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,
19 “Ndodana yomuntu, canda imigwaqo emibili yenkemba yenkosi yaseBhabhiloni ukuba ihambe kuyo, yomibili iqalise elizweni linye. Yenza insika yesiqondiso lapho okuphambuka khona umgwaqo oya edolobheni.
“Ko eni foki, ʻe foha ʻoe tangata, tuʻutuʻuni ʻe koe ʻae hala ʻe ua, koeʻuhi ke haʻu ai ʻae heletā ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone; ʻe ʻalu atu fakatouʻosi mei he fonua pe taha: pea ke fili ʻe koe ha potu, fili ia ʻi he tefito hala ʻaia ʻoku fakatau ki he kolo.
20 Canda omunye umgwaqo wenkemba ukuba izemelana leRabha yama-Amoni, lomunye ukumelana loJuda kanye leJerusalema elivikelweyo.
Tuʻutuʻuni ha hala, koeʻuhi ke haʻu ai ʻae heletā ki Lapata ʻoe kau ʻAmoni, pea ki Siuta ʻi Selūsalema ʻaia kuo ʻāʻi.
21 Ngoba inkosi yaseBhabhiloni izakuma lapho imigwaqo eyehlukana khona, lapho okuhlangana khona imigwaqo emibili, ukuba ifune ibika: Izaphosa inkatho ngemitshoko, izabuza izithombe zayo, izahlola isibindi.
He naʻe tuʻu ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻi he mangaʻi hala, ʻi he tefito ʻoe hala ʻe ua, ke talotalo: naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ngahau ngingila, naʻa ne fakaongo ki he tamapua, pea naʻa ne sio ki he ʻate.
22 Esandleni sayo sokudla kuzakuza inkatho yeJerusalema, lapho ezamisa khona imigqala yokudiliza, lokunika umlayo wokubulala, lokuhlaba umkhosi wempi, lokumisa imigqala yokudiliza amasango, lokwakha amadundulu kanye lokumisa izindawo zokuvimbezela.
Naʻe ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu ʻae talotalo koeʻuhi ko Selūsalema, ke fokotuʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻeikitau, ke fakamanga ʻae ngutu ʻi he tāmate, ke hiki hake ʻae leʻo ʻo kalanga, ke fokotuʻu ki hono ngaahi matapā ʻae ʻuluʻi sipi, ke tanu puke, pea ke langa ʻae kolo.
23 Kuzakhanya angathi libika amanga kulabo asebefungele ukuthobeka kuyo, kodwa yona izabakhumbuza icala labo ibathumbe.
Pea ʻe hangē ia kiate kinautolu ʻoku taʻaloʻalo loi, ʻi honau ʻao, kiate kinautolu kuo fai ʻae fuakava; ka te ne fakamanatuʻi ʻae angahala ka nau moʻua.
24 Ngakho nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: ‘Njengoba lina bantu lingikhumbuze icala lenu ngokuhlamuka kwenu okusobala, libonakalisa izono zenu kukho konke elikwenzayo njengoba lenze lokhu, lizathunjwa.
“Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Koeʻuhi kuo mou fai ke manatuʻi ʻa hoʻomou hia, ko e meʻa ʻi he hā mai ʻa hoʻomou fai kovi, ko ia kuo ha hoʻo angahala ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke fai; koeʻuhi, kuo manatuʻi ʻakimoutolu, ko ia ʻe puke nima ai ʻakimoutolu.
25 Wena nkosana yako-Israyeli exhwalileyo njalo embi, usuku lwakho selufikile, lesikhathi sokujeziswa kwakho sesifike emaphethelweni,
“‘Pea ko koe, ʻae ʻeiki fakalielia mo angahala ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻaia kuo hoko hono ʻaho, ʻoka kakato ʻae fai angahala,
26 nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Khupha iqhiye, yethula umqhele. Akuyikuba njengoba kwakunjalo: Abaphansi bazaphakanyiswa kuthi abaphakemeyo behliselwe phansi.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Toʻo ʻae pale, pea toʻo ʻo ʻave mo e tatā fakatuʻi: ʻe ʻikai kei pehē ni; ka ʻe hakeakiʻi ia ʻaia ʻoku māʻulalo, pea fakatōkilalo ʻaia ʻoku māʻolunga.
27 Unxiwa! Unxiwa! Ngizawenza ube lunxiwa! Kawuyikubuyiselwa kuze kufike lowo ongowakhe ngokuqondileyo, onguye engizamnika wona.’
Te u fulihi, fulihi, fulihi ia: pea ʻe ʻikai kei ʻi ai ia, kaeʻoua ke hoko mai ia ʻaia ʻoku totonu ke ne maʻu; pea te u foaki ia kiate ia.”’
28 Njalo wena, ndodana yomuntu, phrofetha uthi, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi ngama-Amoni kanye lezithuko zawo: Inkemba, inkemba, ihwatshelwe ukubulala, ilolongelwe ukuqothula lokuphazima njengombane!
“Pea ko koe, Foha ʻoe tangata, kikite pea ke pehē, ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ko e meʻa ki he kau ʻAmoni, pea ʻoku kau ki honau manukiʻi; ʻio, ke ke pehē ʻe koe, ‘Ko e heletā, ko e heletā kuo unuhi; kuo fakangingila ia ki ho tāmateʻi, he fakaʻauha ʻi heʻene ulo:
29 Langaphezu kwemibono yamanga ngawe, lokuhlahlula okungamanga ngawe, izabekwa entanyeni zababi okumele babulawe, abasuku lwabo selufikile, abasikhathi sokujeziswa kwabo sesifike emaphethelweni aso.
Lolotonga pe ʻoku nau kikite vaʻinga kiate koe, mo nau talotalo loi kiate koe, koeʻuhi ke ʻomi koe ki he kia ʻonautolu kuo tāmateʻi, ʻae angahala, ʻakinautolu kuo hokosia honau ʻaho ʻoka kakato ʻenau angahala.
30 Buyisela inkemba emxhakeni wayo. Endaweni owadalelwa kuyo, elizweni labokhokho bakho, ngizakwahlulela khona.
He te u fakafoki ia ki hono ʻaiʻanga? Te u fakamaauʻi koe ʻi he potu naʻe ngaohi ai koe, ʻi he fonua naʻa ke fanauʻi ai.
31 Ngizathululela ulaka lwami phezu kwakho ngiphefumlele lentukuthelo yami etshisayo kuwe; ngizakunikela ebantwini abalesihluku, abantu abakwaziyo ukuqothula.
Pea te u lilingi atu hoku houhau kiate koe, te u ifi koe ʻi he kakaha ʻo hoku houhau, pea te u tukuange koe ki he nima ʻoe kakai fai kakaha mo poto, ke fakaʻauha koe.
32 Uzakuba zinkuni zomlilo, igazi lakho lizachithelwa elizweni lakini, kawuyikukhunjulwa futhi; ngoba mina Thixo sengikhulumile.’”
Te ke hoko koe ko e fefie ki he afi; ʻe ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fonua ho toto; pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito toe manatuʻi koe: he ko au ko Sihova, kuo u lea ki ai.”’”
