UHezekheli 23
1 Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
HIKI mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
2 “Ndodana yomuntu, kwakulabesifazane ababili, amadodakazi omfazi munye.
E ke keiki a ke kanaka, Elua aku la wahine, na kaikamahine a ka makuwahine hookahi:
3 Baba yizifebe eGibhithe, beqalise ubuwule kusukela ebutsheni babo. Kulelolizwe amabele abo abanjwabanjwa lengaphambili yabo yaphathwaphathwa.
Moe kolohe laua ma Aiguipita; moe kolohe laua i ko laua wa opiopio: malaila i kaomiia ko laua mau umauma, a malaila i paopao ai lakou i na omaka o ko laua puupaa ana.
4 Omdala wayethiwa ngu-Ohola, umnawakhe engu-Oholibha. Babengabami njalo bazala amadodana lamadodakazi. U-Ohola yiSamariya, u-Oholibha kuyiJerusalema.
A o ko laua mau inoa, o Ahola ke kaikuaana, a o Aholiba kona kaikaina; a na'u no laua, a ua hanau laua i na keikikaue a me na kaikamahine. Pela hoi ko laua mau inoa, o Ahola, o Samaria ia, a o Aholiba, o Ierusalema ia.
5 U-Ohola waqalisa ubuwule esesengowami; njalo wakhanuka izithandwa zakhe, ama-Asiriya, amabutho
Moe kolohe aku la o Ahola i kona wa na'u, a hauoli no ia i kana mau ipo, ko Asuria kona hoalauna,
6 agqoke okulifefe, ababusi kanye labalawuli bebutho, bonke babengamajaha amahle, kanye labagada amabhiza.
I aahuia i ke kapa poni uliuli, na luna koa me na'lii, na kanaka ui e makemakeia lakou a pau, a hoohololio e holo ana maluna o na lio.
7 Wazinikela njengesifebe kubo bonke abaphakemeyo base-Asiriya njalo wazingcolisa ngezithombe zabo bonke abakhanukayo.
Pela ia i hana'i i kona moe kolohe ana me lakou, me ko Asuria poe a pau i waeia, a me ka poe a pau ana i hauoli ai; a me ko lakou mau akuakii a pau i hoohaumia ai oia ia ia iho.
8 Kabudelanga ubufebe abuqalisa eGibhithe, lapho amajaha alala laye ebutsheni bakhe, ambambabamba ngaphambili, athululela lezinkanuko zawo phezu kwakhe.
Aole hoi ia i haalele i kona moe kolohe ana mai Aigupita mai; no ka mea, i kona wa opiopio moe pu lakou me ia, a pepe iho la i na u o kona puupaa ana, a ua ninini aku i ko lakou moe kolohe ana maluna ona.
9 Ngakho ngamnikela kuzithandwa zakhe, ama-Asiriya, ayewakhanuka.
Nolaila i haawi aku ai au ia ia iloko o ka lima o kana poe ipo, i ka lima o ko Asuria, na mea ana i hauoli ai.
10 Amnqunula, athatha amadodana lamadodakazi akhe yena ambulala ngenkemba. Waba yisiga phakathi kwabesifazane, wajeziswa.
Ua wehe lakou i kona wahi huna, a lalau hoi i kana mau kaikamahine, a pepehi iho la lakou ia ia me ka pahikaua; a kaulana aku la oia iwaena o na wahine, no ka mea, ua hoopai lakou ia ia.
11 Umnawakhe u-Oholibha wakubona lokhu, kodwa ngenkanuko lobufebe bakhe wayexhwale kakhulu kulodadewabo.
A ike aku la kona kaikaina o Aholiba ia mea, ua oi aku kona hewa i kona kuko ana mamua ona, a i kona moe kolohe ana mamua o kona kaikuaana i kona moe kolohe ana.
12 Laye wakhanuka ama-Asiriya, ababusi labalawuli bebutho, lamabutho agqoke okupheleleyo, labagadi bamabhiza, lawo wonke amajaha amahle.
Hauoli iho la oia i ko Asuria kona mau hoalauna, na luna koa a me na'lii kahiko nani ia, na hoohololio, e holo ana maluna o na lio, he poe kanaka ui lakou a pau e makemakeia.
13 Ngabona ukuthi laye wazingcolisa; bobabili bahamba ndlelanye.
Alaila ike aku la au ua haumia ia, hele pu hoi laua i ka aoao hookahi;
14 Kodwa yena ubufebe bakhe bengezeleleka futhi. Wabona amadoda efanekisiwe emdulini, izithombe zamaKhaladiya ezifanekiswe ngokubomvu,
A ua hoomahuahua oia i kona moe kolohe ana; no ka mea, i kona ike ana i na kanaka i kakauia ma ka paia, o na kii o ko Kaledea i kakauia me ka pena ulaula,
15 zilamabhanti ezinkalweni zazo njalo zilamaqhiye alengayo emakhanda azo; zonke zikhanya angathi yizikhulu zezinqola zempi zamaKhaladiya, inzalo yaseBhabhiloni.
Kaeiia hoi me na kaei ma ko lakou puhaka, nani hoi ko lakou lole hooluuia ma ko lakou mau poo, he poe alii lakou a pau i ka nana aku, ma ke ano o ko Babulona no Kaledea, ko lakou aina hanau:
16 Kwathi khonokho nje ebabona wahle wabafisa wasethuma isithunywa kubo eKhaladiya.
A i kona ike ana ia lakou me kona mau maka, hauoli aku la oia ia lakou, a hoouna aku la i na elele io lakou la ma Kaledea.
17 Ngakho amaBhabhiloni afika kuye, alala laye, njalo ezinkanukweni zawo amngcolisa. Emva kokuba esengcoliswe yiwo, wasuka kuwo enengekile.
Hele mai la hoi ko Babela io na la iloko o ka moe aloha, a hoohaumia ia ia me ko lakou moe kolohe ana, a ua haumia oia ia lakou, a ua ku e kona manao ia lakou.
18 Kwathi lapho esesenza ubufebe bakhe obala njalo eveza lobunqunu bakhe, ngasuka kuye nginengekile, njengoba ngangisukile kudadewabo.
A pela i hoike ai oia i kona moe kolohe ana, a wehe hoi i kona wahi huna; alaila ku e ko'u manao ia ia, e like me ke ku e ana o ko'u naau i kona kaikuaana.
19 Kodwa banda ngamandla ubuwule bakhe esekhumbula insuku zobutsha bakhe, lapho wayeyisifebe eGibhithe.
Ua hoomabuahua nae oia i kona moe kolohe ana, e hoomanao ana i na la o kona opiopio ana i moe kolohe ai i ka aina o Aigupita.
20 Khonale wakhanuka izithandwa zakhe, ezazilezitho zangaphambili ezazifana lezabobabhemi, zikhihliza okufana lokwamabhiza.
No ka mea, ua hauoli oia i kana mau ipo, o ko lakou io he like me ka io o na hoki, a o ko lakou kahe ana ua like me ko na lio kahe ana.
21 Ngakho walangazela isagweba sasebutsheni bakho, lapho okwathi useGibhithe isifuba lamabele akho kwabanjwabanjwa.
Pela i hoomanao ai oe i ka moe kolohe ana o kou wa opiopio, i ka pepe ana o kou mau omaka i ko Aigupita no na u o kou opiopio ana.
22 Ngakho-ke, Oholibha, nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngizakwenza izithandwa zakho zikuvukele, lezo owazitshiya unengekile, njalo ngizaziletha kuwe ukuba zimelane lawe zivela emaceleni wonke,
Nolaila, e Aholiba, ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; E hooku ae au i kau mau ipo e ku e ia oe, na mea a kou naau i ku e ai, a e lawe mai au ia lakou e ku e ia oe a puni;
23 abaseBhabhiloni lamaKhaladiya wonke, amadoda asePhekhodi laseShowa kanye leKhowa, lama-Asiriya wonke elawo, amajaha amahle, wonke angababusi labalawuli bebutho, izinduna zezinqola zempi lamanye amadoda alezikhundla ezinkulu, bonke begade amabhiza.
I ko Babulona, a me ko Kaledea a pau, o Pekoda, a me Soa, a me Koa, a me ko Asuria a pau me lakou; he poe kanaka ui i makemakeia lakou a pau na luna koa, me na'lii, a me na haku nui, a he kaulana hoi, e holo ana lakou a pau maluna o na lio.
24 Bazakuzakuhlasela ngezikhali, izinqola zempi lezinqola zokuthwala, njalo belexuku elikhulu labantu; bazaviva ukulwa lawe emaceleni wonke belamahawu amakhulu lamancane njalo belezingowane. Ngizakunikela kubo ukuba bakujezise, njalo bazakujezisa ngokumayelana lemithetho yabo.
A e hele ku e mai lakou ia oe me na kaa kaua, a me na kaa waiwai, a me na huila, a me ke anaina kanaka, e hoonoho ku e ia oe i ka pale kaua, i ka pale umauma, a me ka mahiole a puni; a e hoonoho aku au i ka hoopai ana imua o lakou, a e hoopai aku lakou ia oe mamuli o ko lakou hoopai ana.
25 Ngizakwenza intukuthelo yobukhwele bami imelane lawe, njalo bazakuphatha ngolaka. Bazaquma impumulo zenu lezindlebe zenu, njalo abenu labo abazasala bazabulawa ngenkemba. Bazathumba amadodana enu lamadodakazi, njalo abenu labo abazasala bazaqothulwa ngumlilo.
A e hooku e au i ko'u lili ia oe, a hana lakou me ka ukiuki ia oe, a o kaili lakou i kou ihu a me kou mau pepeiao; a e haule kou koena i ka pahikaua; a e lawe lakou i kau mau keikikane a me kau mau kaikamahine; a e hoopauia kou koena i ke ahi.
26 Njalo bazakuhlubula izigqoko zakho bathathe leziceciso zakho ezinhle.
E hemo hoi ia lakou kou mau kapa komo, a e kaili ae hoi lakou i kou mau mea nani e nani ai.
27 Kanjalo-ke ngizaqeda isagweba lobufebe owabuqalisela eGibhithe. Kawuyikukhangela lezizinto uzikhanuke loba ukhumbule iGibhithe futhi.
Pela e hooki ai au i kou moe haumia ana, mai ou aku, a me kou moe kolohe ana no Aigupita mai, i ole oe e leha hou ae i kou mau maka ia lakou, aole hoi e hoomanao hou aku ia Aigupita.
28 Ngoba nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Sekuseduze ukuba ngikunikele kulabo abakuzondayo, kulabo owasuka kubo unengekile.
No ka mea, ke olelo nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; Aia hoi, e haawi aku au ia oe iloko o ka lima o ka poe au i hoowahawaha ai, a i ka lima o ka poe a kou naau i ku e ai.
29 Bazakuphatha ngenzondo njalo bathumbe yonke into owayisebenzelayo. Bazakutshiya unqunu uze, njalo ihlazo lobufebe bakho lizavela obala. Isagweba sakho lobufebe
A e hana aku lakou ia oe me ka inaina, a e lawe ae i kau mea i hana'i, a e waiho aku ia oe he olohelohe me ke kapa ole; a e akaka loa kou moe kolohe ana, o kou moe haumia ana a me kou hookamakama ana.
30 kwehlisele lokhu phezu kwakho, ngoba ufebe lezizwe, wazingcolisa wena ngokwakho ngezithombe zazo.
E hana aku au i keia mau mea ia oe no kou hele moe kolohe ana mamuli o na lahuikanaka, a no kou haumia ana i ko lakou mau akuakii.
31 Ulandele indlela kadadewenu; ngakho ngizabeka inkezo yakhe esandleni sakho.
Ua hele oe ma ka aoao o kou kaikuaana; nolaila e haawi aku ai au i kona kiaha iloko o kou lima.
32 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Uzanatha inkezo kadadewenu, inkezo enkulu ezikileyo futhi; izaletha ukuhlekwa lokuklolodelwa, ngoba ithwele lukhulu.
Olelo mai o Iehova ka Haku, penei; E inu no oe i ko ke kiaha o kou kaikuaana he hohonu a he nui; a e heneheneia oe a e akaakaia, no ka mea, he nui ko loko.
33 Uzakhulelwa yikudakwa losizi, inkezo yokuchitheka lokuphundleka, inkezo kadadewenu iSamariya.
E piha auanei oe i ka ona a me ka ehaeha, me ke kiaha o ka makau a me ka neoneo, o ke kiaha o kou kaikuaana o ko Samaria.
34 Uzayinatha uyibhije; uzayiphahlaza ibe yizicucu ufucuze amabele akho. Sengikhulumile, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
E inu no hoi oe ia mea, a e omo ae hoi, a e wahi no hoi oe i na apana ona, a e kaili ae i kou mau u ponoi; no ka mea, ua olelo au ia mea, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
35 Ngakho nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Njengoba usungikhohliwe wangifuqela ngemva kwakho, kumele uthwale imivuzo yesagweba sakho kanye lobufebe bakho.”
Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei Iehova, penei; No ka mea, ua hoopoina mai oe ia'u, a ua kiola oe ia'u mahope o kou kua; nolaila e halihali oe i kou moe haumia ana a me kou moe kolohe ana.
36 UThixo wathi kimi: “Ndodana yomuntu, uzakwahlulela u-Ohola lo-Oholibha na? Ngakho melana labo ngezenzo zabo ezinengayo,
Olelo hou mai la o Iehova ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e hoahewa anei oe ia Ahola, a me Aholiba? oia, e hai aku oe ia laua i ko laua mea e inainaia;
37 ngoba benze ubufebe njalo lezandla zabo zilegazi. Bafeba lezithombe zabo; banikela labantwana babo ababengizalele bona, njengokudla kuzo.
No ka mea, ua moe kolohe laua, a he koko no iloko o ko laua mau lima, a me ko laua mau akuakii i moe kolohe ai laua, a ua hoohele laua i ka laua mau keiki i hanau na'u iwaena o ke ahi i mea ai na lakou.
38 Njalo benze lokhu kimi: Ngasonaleso isikhathi bangcolisa indlu yami engcwele batshaphaza lamaSabatha ami.
Eia hoi kekahi mea a lakou i hana mai ia'u, ua hoohaumia lakou i ko'u wahi hoano ia la hookahi, a ua hehi hoi i ko'u mau Sabati.
39 Ngalo kanye usuku abanikela ngalo abantwana babo ezithombeni zabo, bangena endlini yami engcwele bayingcolisa. Lokho yikho abakwenzayo endlini yami.
No ka mea, i ko laua pepehi aua i ka laua mau keiki, no ko laua mau akuakii, alaila hele mai laua ia la no, iloko o ko'u wahi hoano, e hoohaumia ia wahi; pela hoi i hana'i laua, ea, iwaenakonu o kuu hale!
40 Bathuma lesithunywa ebantwini ukuba beze bevela khatshana, kwathi sebefikile wabagezela, wacomba amehlo akho wasufaka leziceciso zakho.
Eia hou hoi, ua kii aku olua i na kanaka e hele mai lakou mai kahi loihi mai, ia lakou i hoounaia'ku ai ka elele, oia hoi, ua hiki mai lakou; no lakou hoi i holoi ai oe ia oe iho, a pena hoi i kou mau maka, a kahiko hoi ia oe iho me na mea e nani ai.
41 Wahlala embhedeni omuhle, kuletafula elilungisiweyo phambi kwawo owawufake phezu kwayo impepha yami lamafutha ami.
A noho no oe maluna o kahi moe nui, a he papa i hoomakaukauia imua ona, maluna iho hoi i hoonoho ai oe i kuu mea ala, a me kuu aila.
42 Umsindo wexuku elalithokoza wawumzungezile; amaSebhiya ayelethwe evela enkangala kanye lamadoda avela exukwini elixokozelayo, njalo bafaka amasongo ezingalweni zowesifazane lodadewabo kanye lemiqhele emihle emakhanda abo.
A o ka leo o ke anaina e nanea ana kekahi me ia, a ua lawe pu ia na makaainana me ka poe ona, mai ka waonahele mai, ua kau lakou i na kupee ma ko lakou mau lima, a me na lei nani maluna o ko lakou mau poo.
43 Lapho-ke ngalowo owayesegugiswe yibufebe ngathi, ‘Khathesi kabamsebenzise njengewule, ngoba lokho yikho konke ayikho.’
Alaila olelo iho au no ka mea kahiko ma ka moe kolohe ana, E moe kolohe anei lakou mo ia, a oia pu hoi me lakou?
44 Balala laye. Njengabesilisa belala lesifebe, ngokunjalo balala lalabobafazi abalesagweba, u-Ohola lo-Oholibha.
Aka, komo iloko lakou io na la e like me ko lakou hele ana ae iloko i ka wahine hookamakama; pela e komo ai lakou iloko io Ahola la, a io Aholiba la i na wahine moe haumia.
45 Kodwa abantu abalungileyo bazabanika isijeziso sabesifazane abafebayo njalo bachithe legazi, ngoba bayizifebe njalo lezandla zabo zilegazi.
A o na kanaka pono, e hoahewa lakou ia laua e like me ka lakou hoahewa ana i na wahine moe kolohe, a mamuli hoi o ke ano o na wahine hookahe i ke koko; no ka mea, he mau wahine moe kolohe laua a he koko ko loko o ko laua mau lima.
46 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Baletheleni ixuku limelane labo beselibanikela kukho ukwesaba lokuphangwa.
No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; E lawe mai au i ka lehulehu maluna o laua, a e haawi aku au ia laua e laweia'ku a eha oia.
47 Ixuku lizabatshaya ngamatshe libajuqe ngezinkemba; lizabulala amadodana lamadodakazi abo litshise izindlu zabo ngomlilo.
A e hailuku aku ke anaina ia laua me na pohaku, a e kua iho ia laua ilalo me ka lakou mau pahikaua, e luku lakou i ka laua mau keiki kane a me ka laua mau kaikamahine, a e hoopau i ko laua mau hale me ke ahi.
48 Ngizakuqeda kanjalo ukuxhwala elizweni, ukuze bonke abesifazane baxwayiseke njalo bangenzi njengani.
Pela e hoopau aku ai au i ka moe kolohe, mai ka aina aku, i aoia'ku ai na wahine a pau aole e hana mamuli o ko olua moe kolohe ana.
49 Lizajeziselwa ukuxhwala kwenu njalo lithwale lemivuzo yezono zenu zokukhonza izithombe. Lapho-ke lizakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo Wobukhosi.”
A e uku lakou i ko olua moe kolohe ana maluna o olua, a e halihali olua i na hewa o ko olua mau akuakii; a e ike no oukou owau no Iehova ka Haku.
