UHezekheli 26
1 Ngomnyaka wetshumi lanye, ngosuku lwakuqala lwenyanga, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
EIA kekahi, i ka makahiki umikumamakahi, i ka la mua o ia malama, hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
2 “Ndodana yomuntu, ngoba iThire itshilo kulo iJerusalema yathi, ‘Aha!’ Isango lokuya ezizweni lidilikile, leminyango isivulekele mina; njengoba khathesi selingamanxiwa ngizaphumelela,
E ke keiki a ke kanaka, no ka olelo ku e ana o Turo ia Ierusalema, Aia la, ua nahaha oia, ka mea i noho he mau puka no na kanaka; ua huli mai ia ia'u; e hoolakoia au, ua hooneoneoia ia:
3 ngakho-ke nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngimelana lawe, wena Thire, njalo ngizakulethela izizwe ezinengi zimelane lawe njengolwandle luphosa amagagasi alo phezulu.
Nolaila, ke olelo nei Iehova ka Haku, Eia hoi, e ku e au ia oe, e Turo, a e kono au i na lahuikanaka he nui e pii ku e ia oe, e like me ke kai e hoopii ai i kona mau ale.
4 Zizadiliza imiduli yaseThire, ziwisele phansi imiphotshongo yalo; ngizaphala inkunkuma yalo ngilenze libe lidwala elingelalutho.
A e wawahi lakou i na pa o Turo, a e hoohiolo i kona mau halekiai: a e kope hoi au i kona lepo mai ona aku, a e hoolilo au ia ia e like me ka pohaku olohelohe.
5 Elwandle lizakuba yindawo yokuchayela amambule enhlanzi, ngoba sengikhulumile, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi. Lizakuba yimpango yezizwe,
E lilo ia i wahi e hohola ai i na upena, iwaenakonu o ke kai, no ka mea, na'u no ia i olelo, wahi a Iehova, a e lilo ia i waiwai pio no ko na aina.
6 lemizana yalo ephakathi kwelizwe izachithwa ngenkemba. Lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi nginguThixo.
A o kona mau kaikamahine, na mea ma ka aina, e pepehiia lakou i ka pahikaua; a e ike lakou owau no Iehova.
7 Ngoba nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngizaletha uNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, inkosi yamakhosi, evela enyakatho ukuba amelane leThire, ngamabhiza lezinqola zempi, ngabagadi bamabhiza kanye lebutho elikhulu.
No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova ka Haku, penei; Eia hoi, e alakai ana au ia Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona, ke alii o na'lii, e ku e ia Turo, mai ke kukulu akau mai, me na lio, a me na kaa, a me na hoohololio, a me na anaina, a me na kanaka he nui wale.
8 Uzachitha imizana yakho phakathi kwelizwe ngenkemba; uzamisa izindawo zokuvimbezela, akhe idundulu kusiya phezulu emdulini wakho njalo akuphakamisele lamahawu amelane lawe.
E pepehi oia me ka pahikaua i kou mau kaikamahine ma ka aina; a e hana oia i ka halekaua ku e ia oe, a e hana hoi oia i puu ku e ia oe, a kaikai i ka palekaua ku e ia oe.
9 Uzaqondisa imigqala yakhe yokudiliza emidulini yakho, abhidlize imiphotshongo yakho ngezikhali zakhe.
A e hoonoho ku e oia i na mea kaua i kou mau pa, a e wawahi i kou mau halekiai me kona mau koi.
10 Amabhiza akhe azakuba manengi kakhulu okuzakwenza akwembese ngothuli. Imiduli yakho izanyikinyiswa ngumsindo wamabhiza empi, izinqola zokuthwala kanye lezinqola zempi lapho esengena emasangweni akho njengabantu abangena edolobheni elilemiduli efohliweyo.
No ka nui o kona mau lio, e uhi mai ko lakou lepo maluna ou; i ke kamumu ana o na hoohololio, a me na huila, a me na kaa, e haalulu ai kou mau pa, i kona komo ana'e iloko o kou mau ipuka, e like me ke komo ana o na kanaka i ke kulanakauhale i wahiia.
11 Amasondo amabhiza akhe azanyathela zonke izitalada zakho; uzabulala abantu bakho ngenkemba; lezinsika zakho eziqinileyo zizawela phansi.
Me na maiuu o kona mau lio e hahi oia i kou mau alanui a pau, a e luku oia i kou poe kanaka me ka pahikaua, a e haule iho na kia o kou ikaika ilalo i ka lepo.
12 Bazaphanga inotho yakho bathumbe impahla yakho ethengiswayo; bazadiliza imiduli yakho babhidlize lezindlu zakho ezinhle njalo baphosele amatshe akho, lezigodo kanye lenkunkuma elwandle.
A e hao aku lakou i kou waiwai nui, a e kaili aku hoi i kou waiwai kalepa; a e wawahi iho lakou i kou mau pa ilalo, a e hookai hoi i kou mau hale makemakeia; a e waiho iho lakou i kou laau, a me kou mau pohaku, a me kou lepo iwaena konu o ka wai.
13 Ngizaqeda umsindo wezingoma zakho; lomculo wamachacho akho awuyikuzwakala futhi.
A e hooki au i ka leo o kau mau mele; aole hoi e lohe hou ia ke kani ana o kou mau kinora.
14 Ngizakwenza ube lidwala elize, njalo uzakuba yindawo yokuchayela amambule enhlanzi. Kawuyikwakhiwa futhi, ngoba mina Thixo sengikhulumile, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
A e hoolilo au ia oe e like me ka pohaku olohelohe; e lilo oe i wahi e hohola ai i ua upena, aole e kukulu hou ia'ku oe; no ka mea, na'u na Iehova i olelo, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
15 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi kuyo iThire: Kambe amazwe angasolwandle kawayikunyikinyeka yini ngomsindo wokuwa kwakho, lapho abalimeleyo sebebubula njalo lokubulala sekusenzakala phakathi kwakho na?
Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei, ia Turo, Aole anei e haalulu na mokupuni i ke halulu ana o kou hiolo ana, i ka wa e auwe ai ka poe eha, a he lukuia hoi iwaenakonu ou.
16 Lapho-ke wonke amakhosana angasolwandle azakwehla ezihlalweni zawo zobukhosi akhuphe izembatho zawo njalo ahlubule lezembatho zawo ezicecisiweyo. Ephethwe yikwesaba, azahlala phansi, eqhaqhazela isikhathi sonke, ngokwesaba wena.
Alaila, e iho iho na'lii a pau o ke kai mai luna mai o ko lakou mau nohoalii, a e waiho ae i ko lakou aahu alii, a e wehe ae i ko lakou mau kapa onionio: e aahu lakou i ka haalulu, e noho iho lakou ma ka honua, a e weliweli i kela minute, keia minute, a e pilihua ia oe.
17 Lapho-ke azaqhinqa isililo ngawe athi kuwe: ‘Yeka ukuchitheka kwakho, wena dolobho lodumo, ogcwele ngabantu basolwandle! Wawulamandla elwandle wena kanye labakhe kuwe; waletha ukwesabeka kwakho kubo bonke ababehlala khona.
A e hoomaka lakou i ke kanikau nou, a e olelo aku ia oe, Ua luku e ia oe, e ka mea i nohoia e na holokai, ke kulanakauhale kaulana i paa maloko o ke kai, oia a me kona poe noho, na mea i hana e weliweli ai ka poe a pau i noho ilaila!
18 Khathesi amazwe angasolwandle ayathuthumela ngosuku lokuwa kwakho; izihlenge zasolwandle ziyakwesaba ukuwa kwakho.’
Ano hoi e haalulu na mokupuni i kou la e hiolo ai; oia, e weliweli na moku iloko o ke kai i kou lilo ana aku.
19 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Lapho ngikwenza ube lidolobho elichithekileyo, njengamadolobho angasahlali muntu, njalo lapho ngiletha inziki zolwandle phezu kwakho kuthi amanzi alo amanengi kakhulu akwembese,
No ka mea, ke i inai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; Aia hoolilo au ia oe i neoneo, e like me na kulanakauhale i noho ole ia, i ko'u hoopii ana'e i ka hohonu maluna ou, a e uhi ae na wai nui maluna ou;
20 lapho-ke ngizakuletha phansi lalabo abaya phansi egodini, ebantwini basendulo. Ngizakuhlalisa ngaphansi komhlaba, kunjengasemanxiweni endulo, lalabo abaya phansi egodini, njalo kawuyikuphenduka loba ube lendawo yakho elizweni labaphilayo.
I ko'u hooiho ana ia oe ilalo me ka poe e iho i ka lua, me na kanaka o ka wa kahiko, a e hoonoho ia oe ma kahi haahaa o ka honua, ma na wahi neoneo kahiko no, me ka poe i iho ilalo i ka lua, i ole oe e nohoia; a e hoonoho aku au i ka nani ma ka aina o ka poe e ola ana.
21 Ngizakwenza ukucina kwakho kube ngokwesabekayo uhle utshabalale. Uzadingwa, kodwa ungatholakali futhi, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.”
E hoolilo au ia oe i mea e weliweli ai, a, e ole aku no oe: a ina e imiia'ku oe, aole loa oe e loaa hou, a mau loa aku, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
