UHezekheli 31
1 Ngomnyaka wetshumi lanye, ngenyanga yesithathu ngosuku lwakuqala, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
Hagi Babilonima kinama ome hutama mani'nonkeno, 11nima hiankafumofona namba 3 ikantera, ese knazupa Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne.
2 “Ndodana yomuntu, tshono kuFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe lakumaxuku akhe uthi: ‘Ngubani ongalinganiswa lawe ngobucwazicwazi?
Vahe'mofo mofavre Izikieliga, Isipi kini ne' Ferone sondia vahe'anena amanage hunka zamasamio, tamagra mika vahera zamagatereta, tusi hihamu vahe mani'naze.
3 Cabanga i-Asiriya, eyake yaba ngumsedari eLebhanoni, olamagatsha amahle embese ihlathi ngomthunzi; wawumude uphezulu le, isihloko sawo singaphezu kwamahlamvu avitshileyo.
Hagi ko, Asiria vahe'mo'za Lebanoni sida zafagna hu'za knare'nare azankuna omente amente hazageno mago'a zafaramina tona huzmantene. Agra za'za huno amunagamu hampompi marerino, mika zafaramina zamagatere'ne.
4 Amanzi awondla, imithombo etshonayo yawenza wakhula waba mude; izifudlana zayo zageleza emaceleni esidindi sawo sonke, imisele yazo ayafika kuzozonke izihlahla zeganga.
Hagi ana zafamofona timo ne'zana nemigeno, mopa agu'afima me'nea timo ana zafa ne'zana amigeno zazara hu'ne. Hagi ana zafaramima tima ne'zamiana, timo mika zafafina nevuno tina nezamie.
5 Wawuphakeme kanjalo umude kulazo zonke izihlahla zeganga; ingatsha zawo zanda, ingatsha zawo zakhula zaba zinde zendlalekile ngenxa yobunengi bamanzi.
E'ina hunegu ana zafamo'a mika zafaramina hageno agatenereno, rama'a azanku'nareno ani'na kuronkuro hu'ne. Na'ankure agra rama'a ti agafafintira eri'negu anara hu'ne.
6 Zonke izinyoni zasemoyeni zakhela izidleke zazo ezingatsheni zawo, zonke izinyamazana zeganga zazalela ngaphansi kwezingatsha zawo; zonke izizwe ezinkulu zahlala emthunzini wawo.
Hagi maka namaramimo'za ana zafa azankunataminte nona eme negizageno, mika zaga kafamo'za ana zafa agafafi anentara eme kasente'naze. Hagi ana zafamofo turunapi mika zamagima me'nea vahe'mo'za kokantegatira enemanize.
7 Wawunkanyazela ngobuhle bawo, ngezingatsha zawo ezendlalekileyo, ngoba impande zawo zazitshona phansi emanzini amanengi.
Hagi ana zafamofona hentofa azankunatmi me'ne. Na'ankure ana zafamofo arafu'namo'za rama'a tima me'nefi amefenkame urami'za tina ani avazu nehaze.
8 Imisedari esivandeni sikaNkulunkulu yayingeke ilingane lawo, kumbe izihlahla zemiphayini zibe lezingatsha ezingafana lezawo, akukho sihlahla esivandeni sikaNkulunkulu esasingaba sihle njengawo.
Hagi Anumzamofo hozafima me'nea sida zafamo'za ana zafa gnara osazageno, meni zafane mago'a zafaramimo'za ana zafa gnara osu'naze. Anumzamofo hozafima me'nea zafamo'zanena ana zafa gnara osu'naze.
9 Ngawenza waba muhle ngezingatsha ezinengi, wahawukelwa yizihlahla zonke zase-Edeni esivandeni sikaNkulunkulu.
Na'ankure Nagra ana zafa rama'a azankunataminu konariria huntogeno knare'za higeno, mika Anumzamofo hozafima me'nea zafaramimo'za kezmasane nehaze.
10 Ngakho-ke nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngoba wawumude uphezulu le, isihloko sawo siphakamele ngaphezu kwezingatsha ezivitshileyo, njalo ngenxa yokuthi wawuziqhenya ngobude bawo,
E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzana Agra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Na'ankure agra mika zafaramina zamagatereno amunagamuma mareri'nea zanku agra avufga ra hu'ne.
11 ngawunikela kumbusi wezizwe ukuba awuphathe ngokufanele ububi bawo. Ngawulahlela eceleni,
Ana hu'negu Nagra ana zafa nagotente'na namefi hunemina hankavenentake ha' vahe'mokizmi zamazampi zamavare antanenkeno, zamazeri havizantfa hugahie.
12 njalo isizwe sasezizweni esilesihluku kulazo zonke sawucakazela phansi sawutshiya. Ingatsha zawo zawela phezu kwezintaba lasezigodini zonke, amagatsha awo ephukela ezindongeni zonke zelizwe. Zonke izizwe zasemhlabeni zasuka emthunzini wawo zawutshiya.
Hagi ruregati vahe'ma zamazeri haviza hu'arema vugota hu'naza kefo vahe'mo'za ana zafa antagi atre'naze. Hagi ana zafamofo azankuna'mo'a agonaramimpine, agupofine, krahopina hantagiramino mase'ne. Hagi ana zafa agafafima nemaniza vahe'mo'za atre'za vu'za e'za hu'naze.
13 Zonke izinyoni zasemoyeni zahlala phezu kwesihlahla esiwileyo, lezinyamazana zonke zeganga zaziphakathi kwezingatsha zaso.
Hagi maka namaramimo'za anama antagitre zafa atupare nemanizageno, zagagafamo'za ana zafamofo azankunatamimofo agofetu vano hu'naze.
14 Ngakho kazikho ezinye izihlahla ngasemanzini ezizaphakama ngokuziqhenya phezulu le, zifikise izihloko zazo ngaphezu kwezingatsha. Kazikho ezinye izihlahla ezizuza amanzi kuhle kanjalo ezizake zifike phezulu kangako; zonke zimiselwe ukufa, emhlabeni ongaphansi, phakathi kwabantu abafayo, kanye lalabo abehlela egodini.
E'inama hanigeno'a tinkenafima me'nea zafamo'za hage'za zaza hu'za mago'a zafaramina zamagate'nere'za zamavufaga rana osugahaze. Na'ankure zamagranena e'inahu kna hu'za frisaza vahe mani'nazanki'za, fri'za kerifima urami'za mani'naza vahe'ene umanigahaze.
15 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngosuku owehliselwa ngalo engcwabeni, ngavala imithombo etshonayo ngokulilelwa kwawo, ngamisa izifudlana zawo, lamanzi awo amanengi avinjelwa. Ngenxa yawo ngembesa iLebhanoni ngomnyama, njalo zonke izihlahla zeganga zabuna. (Sheol h7585)

Lapho-ke zonke izihlahla zase-Edeni, ezikhethekileyo lezinhle kakhulu zaseLebhanoni, zonke izihlahla ezazithola amanzi kuhle, zaduduzeka ngaphansi komhlaba. (Sheol h7585)
