UHezekheli 30
1 Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
2 “Ndodana yomuntu, phrofetha uthi: ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Lilani lithi, “Maye ngalolosuku!”
O son of humankind prophesy and you will say thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh wail alas! for the day.
3 Ngoba usuku seluseduze, usuku lukaThixo seluseduze usuku lwamayezi, isikhathi sokutshabalala kwezizwe.
For [is] near a day and [is] near a day of Yahweh a day of cloud[s] a time of nations it will be.
4 Inkemba izakumelana leGibhithe, losizi luzakwehlela phezu kukaKhushi. Lapho ababuleweyo besiwa eGibhithe inotho yalo izathunjwa lezisekelo zalo zidilizelwe phansi.
And it will come a sword on Egypt and it will be anguish on Cush when fall [the] slain in Egypt and people will take away wealth its and they will be torn down foundations its.
5 IKhushi lePhuthi, iLudi le-Arabhiya yonke, iLibhiya kanye labantu belizwe lesivumelwano bazabulawa ngenkemba ndawonye leGibhithe.
Cush and Put and Lud and every foreigner and Libya and [the] sons of [the] land of the covenant with them by the sword they will fall.
6 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Abasekeli beGibhithe bazakufa, lamandla alo aziqhenyayo azaphela. Kusukela eMigidoli kusiya e-Asiwani bazakuwa ngenkemba phakathi kwalo, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
Thus he says Yahweh and they will fall [the] supporters of Egypt and it will come down [the] pride of strength its from Migdol Syene by the sword they will fall in it [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
7 Bazachitheka phakathi kwamazwe achithekileyo, njalo amadolobho abo azakuba phakathi kwamadolobho adiliziweyo.
And they will be desolate in midst of lands made desolate and cities its in midst of cities made waste they will be.
8 Lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo, lapho sengithungela iGibhithe ngomlilo labasizi balo bonke sebeqothulwe.
And they will know that I [am] Yahweh when put I fire in Egypt and they will be broken all helpers its.
9 Ngalolosuku izithunywa zizaphuma zisuka kimi ngemikhumbi ziyetshayisa iKhushi ngovalo, kuphele ukungazikhathazi kwalo. Bazakwehlelwa lusizi ngosuku lokutshabalala kweGibhithe, ngoba ngempela kuzafika.
On the day that they will go out messengers from to before me in the ships to make tremble Cush security and it will be anguish on them on [the] day of Egypt for there! [it is] coming.
10 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngizawaqeda amaxuku aseGibhithe ngesandla sikaNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni.
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh and I will put an end to [the] multitude of Egypt by [the] hand of Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon.
11 Yena lebutho lakhe, abalolunya olukhulu phakathi kwezizwe, bazalethwa ukuba bachithe ilizwe. Bazahwatsha izinkemba zabo ukuba bamelane leGibhithe bagcwalise ilizwe ngababuleweyo.
He and people his with him ruthless [ones] of nations [will be] brought to destroy the land and they will draw swords their on Egypt and they will fill the land [the] slain.
12 Ngizakomisa izifula zeNayili lelizwe ngilithengisele abantu ababi; ngesandla sabezizweni, ngizalichitha ilizwe, lakho konke okukulo. Mina Thixo sengikhulumile.
And I will make canals dry ground and I will sell the land in [the] hand of wicked [people] and I will devastate [the] land and what fills it by [the] hand of strangers I Yahweh I have spoken.
13 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngizachitha izithombe ngiqede izifanekiso eMemfisi. Akusayikuba khona inkosana eGibhithe, njalo ngizaletha ukwesaba kulolonke ilizwe.
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh and I will destroy idols and I will cause to cease worthless idols from Memphis and a prince from [the] land of Egypt not he will be again and I will put fear in [the] land of Egypt.
14 Ngizachitha iPhathrosi, ngithungele iZowani ngomlilo, besengiletha isijeziso phezu kweThebesi.
And I will devastate Pathros and I will put fire in Zoan and I will bring about judgments on Thebes.
15 Ngizakwehlisela ulaka lwami phezu kwePhelusiyami, inqaba yaseGibhithe, ngiqede lamaxuku aseThebesi.
And I will pour out rage my on Sin [the] stronghold of Egypt and I will cut off [the] multitude of Thebes.
16 Ngizathungela iGibhithe ngomlilo; iPhelusiyami izajanqula ngobuhlungu. IThebesi izathunjwa ngesidumo esikhulu; iMemfisi izakuba sosizini olumiyo.
And I will put fire in Egypt surely (it will writhe in agony *Q(k)*) Sin and Thebes it is [about] to be broken into and Memphis distress of daytime.
17 Amajaha aseHeliyopholisi leBhubhastisi azabulawa ngenkemba, lamadolobho wona ngokwawo azathunjwa.
[the] young men of On and Pi-beseth by the sword they will fall and they [fem] in captivity they will go.
18 EThahiphanesi imini izakuba mnyama, lapho ngisephula ijogwe leGibhithe; khonale-ke amandla alo aziqhenyayo azaphela. Azakwembeswa ngamayezi, njalo imizi yalo izakuya ekuthunjweni.
And in Tahpanhes it will withhold the day when break I there [the] yoke-bars of Egypt and it will cease in it [the] pride of strength its it a cloud it will cover it and daughters its in captivity they will go.
19 Ngokunjalo ngizakwehlisela isijeziso phezu kweGibhithe, njalo bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.’”
And I will bring about judgments on Egypt and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.
20 Ngomnyaka wetshumi lanye, ngenyanga yakuqala ngosuku lwesikhombisa, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
And it was in one [plus] ten year in the first [month] on [day] seven of the month it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
21 “Ndodana yomuntu, sengiyephule ingalo kaFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe. Kayibotshwanga ukuba iphole kumbe ifakwe uhlaka ukuze iqine okwanele ukuthi iphathe inkemba.
O son of humankind [the] arm of Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt I have broken and there! not it has been bound up to give healing to put a bandage to bind up it to be strong it to wield the sword.
22 Ngakho-ke nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngimelana loFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe. Ngizazephula zombili izingalo zakhe, eqinileyo kanye leyephukileyo, ngenze inkemba iwe esandleni sakhe.
Therefore thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] against Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and I will break arms his the strong [one] and the broken [one] and I will make fall the sword from hand his.
23 Ngizachithela amaGibhithe phakathi kwezizwe ngiwahlakazele emazweni.
And I will scatter Egypt among the nations and I will disperse them among the lands.
24 Ngizaqinisa izingalo zenkosi yaseBhabhiloni ngifake inkemba yami ezandleni zayo, kodwa izingalo zikaFaro ngizazephula, njalo uzabubula phambi kwayo njengomuntu olimale okokufa.
And I will make strong [the] arms of [the] king of Babylon and I will put sword my in hand his and I will break [the] arms of Pharaoh and he will groan [the] groans of [one] fatally wounded before him.
25 Ngizaqinisa izingalo zenkosi yaseBhabhiloni, kodwa izingalo zikaFaro zizakuba buthakathaka. Lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo lapho sengifaka inkemba yami esandleni senkosi yaseBhabhiloni layo isiyizunguza imelane leGibhithe.
And I will strengthen [the] arms of [the] king of Babylon and [the] arms of Pharaoh they will fall and they will know that I [am] Yahweh when put I sword my in [the] hand of [the] king of Babylon and he will stretch out it against [the] land of Egypt.
26 Ngizachithela amaGibhithe phakathi kwezizwe ngiwahlakazele emazweni futhi. Lapho-ke azakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.”
And I will scatter Egypt among the nations and I will disperse them among the lands and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.
