< UHezekheli 32 >
1 Ngomnyaka wetshumi lambili, ngenyanga yetshumi lambili ngosuku lokuqala, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
EIA kekahi, i ka umikumamalua o ka makahiki, i ka malama umikumamalua, i ka la mua o ka malama, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
2 “Ndodana yomuntu, khala isililo ngoFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe uthi kuye: ‘Wena unjengesilwane phakathi kwezizwe; unjengesilo phakathi kolwandle, uvubavuba amanzi ezifuleni zakho, uchaphaze amanzi ngezinyawo zakho, ungcolisa lezifula ngodaka.
E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e hoomaka i ke kanikau no Parao ke alii no Aigupita, a e olelo aku ia ia, Ua like oe me ka liona opiopio o na lahuikanaka, a ua like hoi oe me ke kohola iwaena o na kai; a ua puka mai oe me kou mau muliwai, a hoolepo oe i ko lakou mau wai me kou mau wawae, a ua hoolepo hoi i ko lakou mau muliwai.
3 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngoquqaba olukhulu lwabantu ngizaphosela imbule lami phezu kwakho njalo bazakudonsela phezulu ngomambule wami.
Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; Nolaila, e hohola aku au i ka'u upena maluna ou me ka lehulehu kanaka he nui, a e lawe mai lakou ia oe iloko o ka'u upena.
4 Ngizakuphosela emhlabathini ngikudonsele egcekeni egangeni. Ngizakwenza zonke izinyoni zasemoyeni zihlale phezu kwakho lezinyamazana zonke zasemhlabeni zizitike kuwe.
Alaila, e waiho iho au ia oe maluna o ka aina, a e hoolei aku ia oe ma ke kula, a e hoonoho i na manu a pau o ka lewa maluna, a e hoomaona aku i na holoholona o ka honua a pau ia oe.
5 Ngizachaya inyama yakho phezu kwezintaba njalo ngigcwalise izigodi ngezidumbu zakho.
A e kau aku au i kou io maluna o na mauna, a e hoopiha i na awawa me kou kiekie.
6 Ngizathambisa ilizwe ngegazi lakho eligeleza indawo yonke kusiya ezintabeni, lezindonga zizagcwala inyama yakho.
A e hoopulu au me kou koko i ka aina e au ai oe, a hiki i na mauna; a e piha na muliwai ia oe.
7 Lapho sengikucitsha, ngizakwembesa amazulu ngenze izinkanyezi zawo zibe mnyama; ngizakwembesa ilanga ngeyezi, lenyanga ingabe isakhanyisa.
A hoopio aku au ia oe, e uhi au i ka lani, a e hoolilo i kona mau hoku i eleele; a e uhi au i ka la i kekahi ao, aole e haawi ka mahina i kona malamalama.
8 Zonke izibane ezikhanyisa emazulwini ngizazenza zibe mnyama elizweni lakho, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
O na mea malamalama olinolino o ka lani, oia ka'u e hoolilo ai i pouli maluna ou, a e hoonoho i ka pouli maluna o kou aina, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
9 Ngizakhathaza inhliziyo zabantu abanengi lapho sengiletha ukuchithwa kwakho phakathi kwezizwe, phakathi kwamazwe ongazange uwazi.
A e hoopioloke au i ka naau o na kanaka he nui, i ko'u lawe ana i kou lukuia iwaena o na lahuikanaka, iloko o na aina au i ike ole ai.
10 Ngizakwenza abantu abanengi bamangale ngawe, lamakhosi abo azathuthumela ngokwesaba ngenxa yakho lapho nginyikinya inkemba yami phambi kwawo. Ngosuku lokuwa kwakho lowo lalowo wabo uzaqhaqhazela isikhathi sonke sokuphila kwakhe.
A e hoomakau aku au i na lahuikanaka he nui nou, a e weliweli loa ko lakou mau alii nou i kuu wa e hoowiliwili ai i ka'u pahikaua imua o lakou; a e haalulu lakou i kela manawa keia manawa, kela kanaka keia kanaka no kona ola iho, i kou la e haule ai.
11 Ngoba nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Inkemba yenkosi yaseBhabhiloni izamelana lawe.
No ka mea, ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; E hiki mai no ka pahikaua a ke alii o Babulona, maluna ou.
12 Ngizakwenza amaxuku akho abulawe ngezinkemba zamadoda alamandla alesihluku kakhulu phakathi kwezizwe zonke. Azachoboza ukuziqhenya kweGibhithe, njalo wonke amaxuku alo azanqotshwa.
Ma na pahikaua a ka poe ikaika e hoohaule ai au i kou lehulehu, o na mea ikaika o na lahuikanaka, lakou a pau: a e hookai lakou i ka hauohano o Aigupita, a e pau i ka lukuia ko laila lehulehu.
13 Ngizabulala zonke inkomo zabo ngaseduzane lamanzi amanengi angaphindi adungwe lunyawo lomuntu futhi kumbe angcoliswe ngamasondo enkomo ngodaka.
E luku hoi i ko laila mau holoholona a pau ma ka pili ana o na wai nui, aole e hana ino hou ka wawae kanaka ia lakou, aole hoi ka maiuu o na holoholona e hana ino hou ia lakou.
14 Lapho-ke ngizakwenza amanzi alo azinze lezifula zalo zigeleze njengamafutha, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
Alaila e hoemi au i ko lakou mau wai, a e hookahe i ko lakou mau muliwai e like me ka aila, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
15 Lapho iGibhithe sengilichitha ngiphundla ilizwe lakho konke okukulo, lapho sengibacakazela phansi bonke abahlala khona, lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.’
Aia hooneoneo aku au i ka aina Aigupita, a e hooneleia ka aina i ko laila mea i paapu ai, a e pepehi aku au i ka poe a pau e noho ana malaila, alaila e ike lakou owau no Iehova.
16 Lesi yisililo esizaculelwa iGibhithe. Amadodakazi ezizwe azasicula: azasiculela iGibhithe kanye lamaxuku alo wonke, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.”
Eia ko kanikau e kanikau ai lakou ia ia; e kanikau no na kaikamahine o na lahuikanaka ia ia; oia o Aigupita a me kona lehalehu a pau ka lakou e kanikau ai, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
17 Ngomnyaka wetshumi lambili, ngosuku lwetshumi lanhlanu lwenyanga, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
Eia hoi kekahi, i ka umikumamalua o ka makahiki, i ka la umikumamalima, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
18 “Ndodana yomuntu, lilela amaxuku aseGibhithe njalo wehlisele ngaphansi komhlaba kokubili lona iGibhithe kanye lamadodakazi ezizwe ezilamandla, lalabo abehlela phansi egodini.
E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e auwe oe no ka lehulehu o Aigupita, a e hooiho ia lakou, ia ia, a me na kaikamahine o na lahuikanaka kaulana, i na wahi olalo o ka honua me ka poe iho ilalo i ka lua.
19 Tshono kubo uthi, ‘Lina liyathandwa kakhulu kulabanye na? Yehlelani phansi lilale phakathi kwabangasokanga.’
Ua oi aku kou nani mamua owai? e iho oe, a e hoomoeia me ka poe i okipoepoe ole ia.
20 Bazafela phakathi kwalabo ababulawa ngenkemba. Inkemba isihwatshiwe; iGibhithe kalihudulwe lamaxuku alo wonke.
Iwaenakonu o ka poe i pepehiia me ka pahikaua, e haule ai lakou; ua haawiia ia i ka pahikaua: e alako oe ia ia a me kona mau lehulehu a pau.
21 Abakhokheli abalamandla bazakutsho ngeGibhithe labamanyene layo bephakathi kwengcwaba bathi, ‘Sebehlele phansi njalo balele labangasokanga, lalabo ababulawa ngenkemba.’ (Sheol )
E olelo ia ia ka poe ikaika iwaena o ka poe ikaika mai loko mai o ka po, me ka poe kokua ia ia; ua iho ilalo lakou, ua moe okipoepoe ole ia, i make i ka pahikaua. (Sheol )
22 I-Asiriya ikhona lebutho layo lonke; izungezwe ngamangcwaba abo bonke abayo ababuleweyo; bonke ababulawe ngenkemba.
Malaila o Asura a me kona lehulehu a pau, ua puni ia i kona mau luakupapau; ua pau lakou i ka pepehiia, ua haule i ka pahikaua:
23 Amangcwaba abo asekuzikeni kwegodi njalo ibutho layo lilele lihanqe ingcwaba layo. Bonke abandisa ukwesaba elizweni labaphilayo babulewe, bebulawa ngenkemba.
Ka poe ua haawiia na luakupapau ia lakou ma na aoao o ka lua, a ua puni kona luakupapau i kona poe; pau lakou i ka popehiia, haule i ka pahikaua, na mea i hoomakau aku ma ka aina o ka poe ola.
24 I-Elamu ikhona, lamaxuku ayo wonke azungeze ingcwaba layo. Bonke babulewe, bebulawa ngenkemba. Bonke abandisa ukwesaba elizweni labaphilayo behlela phansi ngaphansi komhlaba bengasokanga. Bathwele ihlazo labo belalabo abehlela phansi egodini.
Malaila o Elama a me kona lehulehu a pau a puni kona luakupapau, pau lakou i ka pepehiia, ua haule hoi i ka pahikaua; na mea i iho okipoepoe ole ia ilalo i na wahi lalo o ka honua, ka poe i hana i na mea hooweliweli ma ka aina o ka poe ola, aka, ua hali lakou i ko lakou hoinoia me ka poe iho ilalo i ka lua.
25 Yenzelwa umbheda phakathi kwababuleweyo, lamaxuku ayo wonke ehanqe ingcwaba layo. Bonke kabasokanga, babulawa ngenkemba. Ngoba ukwesatshwa kwabo kwasekugcwele elizweni labaphilayo, bathwala ihlazo labo lalabo abehlela phansi egodini; babekwa phakathi kwababuleweyo.
Ua hoonoho lakou i wahi moe nona iwaena o ka poe i pepehiia me kona lehulehu a pau, ua puni i kona mau luakupapau, ua okipoepoe ole ia lakou a pau, ua pepehiia i ka pahikaua; ua haawiia ko lakou mea makau ma ka aina o ka poe ola, aka, ua halihali lakou i ko lakou hoinoia me ka poe iho ilalo i ka lua: ua waihoia'ku oia mawaenakonu o ka poe i pepehiia,
26 IMesheki leThubhali akhona, lamaxuku awo wonke ezungeze amangcwaba awo. Wonke amaxuku kawasokanga, abulewe ngoba andisa ukwesatshwa kwawo elizweni labaphilayo.
Malaila o Meseka, a me Tubala, a me kona lehulehu a pau, ua puni oia i kona mau luakupapau; ua okipoepoe ole ia lakou a pau, ua pepehiia lakou i ka pahikaua, ua haawi lakou i ko lakou mea makau ma ka aina o ka poe ola.
27 Kanje kawalele lamanye amabutho angasokanga awafayo, wona ehlela phansi engcwabeni lezikhali zawo zempi, azinkemba zawo zabekwa ngaphansi kwamakhanda awo na? Isijeziso sezono zawo sahlala phezu kwamathambo awo, lanxa ukwesatshwa kwamabutho la kwagcwala elizweni labaphilayo. (Sheol )
Aole hoi lakou e moe pu me ka ikaika i haule o ka poe okipoepoe ole ia, ka poe i iho ilalo i ka po me ko lakou mau mea oi o ke kaua; ua waiho iho lakou i ka lakou mau pahikaua malalo iho o ko lakou mau poo; a maluna aku o ko lakou mau iwi ko lakou mau hewa, he mau mea nae e weliweli ai ka poe ikaika ma ka aina o ka poe ola. (Sheol )
28 Lawe futhi, wena Faro, uzakwephulwa njalo ulale phakathi kwabangasokanga, lalabo ababulawa ngenkemba.
Oia, e uhaiia oe iwaena o ka poe okipoepoe ole ia, a e moe pu me ka poe i pepehiia i ka pahikaua.
29 I-Edomi ikhona, amakhosi ayo lamakhosana ayo wonke; phezu kwamandla abo, balaliswa lalabo ababulawa ngenkemba. Balele labangasokanga, lalabo abehlela phansi egodini.
Malaila o Edoma, me kona mau moi, a me kona mau alii a pau, na mea me ko lakou ikaika i waiho pu ia me na mea i pepehiia i ka pahikaua, e moe pu lakou me ka poe okipoepoe ole ia, a me ka poe iho ilalo i ka lua.
30 Wonke amakhosana asenyakatho kanye lamaSidoni wonke bakhona; behlela phansi lababulawayo behlazekile lanxa kulokwesaba okwabangelwa ngamandla abo. Balele bengasokanga kanye lalabo ababulawa ngenkemba njalo bathwala ihlazo labo lalabo abehlela phansi egodini.
Malaila na moi o ke kukuluakau, lakou a pau, a me ko Zidona a pau, na mea iho pu ilalo me ka poe i pepehiia; me ko lakou mea makau, ua hilahila lakou i ko lakou ikaika; a ua moe okipoepoe ole ia lakou me ka poe i pepehiia i ka pahikaua, a e halihali lakou i ko lakou hoinoia me ka poe iho ilalo i ka lua.
31 UFaro lebutho lakhe uzababona njalo uzaduduzeka ngamaxuku akhe wonke abulawa ngenkemba, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
E ike aku o Parao ia lakou, a e hooluoluia oia i kona lehulehu a pau, o Parao a me kona poe kaua a pau i pepehiia i ka pahikaua, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
32 Lanxa ngamenza wandisa ukwesaba elizweni labaphilayo, uFaro kanye lamaxuku akhe wonke, bazalaliswa phakathi kwabangasokanga, lalabo ababulawa ngenkemba, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.”
No ka mea, ua haawi au ia ia i mea hooweliweli no'u ma ka aina o ka poe ola; aka, e hoomoeia oia iwaenakonu o ka poe okipoepoe ole ia, me ka poe i pepehiia i ka pahikaua, o Parao a me kona lehulehu a pau, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
