< UHezekheli 5 >
1 “Khathesi, ndodana yomuntu, thatha inkemba ebukhali uyisebenzise njengempuco yomgeli ekuphuceni ikhanda lakho kanye lezindevu zakho. Emva kwalokho thatha izilinganiso wehlukanise inwele.
“人子啊,你要拿一把快刀,当作剃头刀,用这刀剃你的头发和你的胡须,用天平将须发平分。
2 Lapho insuku zokuvinjezelwa kwenu seziphelile, tshisa ingxenye yesithathu yezinwele ngomlilo phakathi kwedolobho. Thatha ingxenye yesithathu uyigwaze ngenkemba ubhoda lonke idolobho, uhlakazele ingxenye yesithathu emoyeni. Ngoba ngizabalandela ngiphethe inkemba ekhokhiweyo.
围困城的日子满了,你要将三分之一在城中用火焚烧,将三分之一在城的四围用刀砍碎,将三分之一任风吹散;我也要拔刀追赶。
3 Kodwa thatha inwele ezilutshwane uzithungele emiphethweni yesembatho sakho.
你要从其中取几根包在衣襟里,
4 Thatha njalo emilutshwana yayo uyiphosele emlilweni uyitshise. Umlilo uzamemetheka usuka lapho uye kuyo yonke indlu ka-Israyeli.
再从这几根中取些扔在火中焚烧,从里面必有火出来烧入以色列全家。
5 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi ukuthi: Le yiJerusalema engiyimise phakathi kwezizwe, kulamazwe kuwo wonke amacele ayo.
主耶和华如此说:这就是耶路撒冷。我曾将她安置在列邦之中;列国都在她的四围。
6 Kodwa ngenxa yobubi bayo isihlamukele imithetho yami lezimiso zami okudlula izizwe lamazwe ayihanqileyo. Iyalile imithetho yami kayaze yalandela izimiso zami.
她行恶,违背我的典章,过于列国;干犯我的律例,过于四围的列邦,因为她弃掉我的典章。至于我的律例,她并没有遵行。
7 Ngakho-ke nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi ukuthi: Ube ngoxhwale okudlula izizwe ezikuhanqileyo njalo kawulandelanga izimiso zami kumbe ugcine imithetho yami. Futhi kalilaleli lezimiso zezizwe ezilihanqileyo.
所以主耶和华如此说:因为你们纷争过于四围的列国,也不遵行我的律例,不谨守我的典章,并以遵从四围列国的恶规尚不满意,
8 Ngakho-ke nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi ukuthi: Mina ngokwami ngimelane lawe, wena Jerusalema, njalo ngizabeka isijeziso phezu kwakho izizwe zikhangele.
所以主耶和华如此说:看哪,我与你反对,必在列国的眼前,在你中间,施行审判;
9 Ngenxa yezithombe zakho zonke ezinengekayo, kuwe ngizakwenza engingakaze ngikwenze ngaphambili njalo engingayikukwenza futhi.
并且因你一切可憎的事,我要在你中间行我所未曾行的,以后我也不再照着行。
10 Ngakho phakathi kwenu oyise bazakudla abantwana babo, labantwana bazakudla oyise. Ngizabeka isijeziso phezu kwakho kuthi bonke abasindileyo bakho ngibahlakazele emoyeni.
在你中间父亲要吃儿子,儿子要吃父亲。我必向你施行审判,我必将你所剩下的分散四方。”
11 Ngakho ngeqiniso elinjengoba ngikhona, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi, ngoba ungcolise indlu yami engcwele ngezifanekiso zakho zonke ezingamanyala langezenzo zakho ezenyanyekayo, mina ngokwami ngizasusa umusa wami; angiyikuba lesihawu kuwe loba ngiyekele ukukubhubhisa.
主耶和华说:“我指着我的永生起誓,因你用一切可憎的物、可厌的事玷污了我的圣所,故此,我定要使你人数减少,我眼必不顾惜你,也不可怜你。
12 Ingxenye yesithathu yabantu bakho izabulawa yisifo loba ibhujiswe yindlala phakathi kwakho; ingxenye yesithathu izakufa ngenkemba ngaphandle kwemiduli yakho; ingxenye yesithathu ngizayihlakazela emoyeni ngiphinde ngiyilandele ngiphethe inkemba.
你的民三分之一必遭瘟疫而死,在你中间必因饥荒消灭;三分之一必在你四围倒在刀下;我必将三分之一分散四方,并要拔刀追赶他们。
13 Lapho-ke ukuthukuthela kwami kuzaphela, lolaka lwami kubo luzadeda, njalo ngizabe sengiphindisele. Njalo lapho ulaka lwami sengiluqedele kubo, bazakwazi ukuthi mina Thixo ngikhulume ngokutshiseka kwami.
“我要这样成就怒中所定的;我向他们发的忿怒止息了,自己就得着安慰。我在他们身上成就怒中所定的那时,他们就知道我—耶和华所说的是出于热心;
14 Ngizakwenza ube lunxiwa lehlazo phakathi kwezizwe ezikuhanqileyo, emehlweni abo bonke abadlula khona.
并且我必使你在四围的列国中,在经过的众人眼前,成了荒凉和羞辱。
15 Uzakuba lihlazo lenhlekisa, isixwayiso lento eyesabekayo ezizweni ezikuhanqileyo lapho sengibeka isijeziso phezu kwakho ngentukuthelo langolaka, ngikhuza kabuhlungu. Mina Thixo sengikhulumile.
这样,我必以怒气和忿怒,并烈怒的责备,向你施行审判。那时,你就在四围的列国中成为羞辱、讥刺、警戒、惊骇。这是我—耶和华说的。
16 Lapho ngikutshoka ngemitshoko yami ebhubhisayo, langemitshoko echithayo yendlala, ngizatshoka ukuba ngikutshabalalise. Ngizakwandisela indlala ngivale ukulethwa kokudla kwakho.
那时,我要将灭人、使人饥荒的恶箭,就是射去灭人的,射在你们身上,并要加增你们的饥荒,断绝你们所倚靠的粮食;
17 Ngizakulethela indlala lezinyamazana zeganga ukuba kukuhlasele, kuzakutshiya ungaselamntwana. Isifo lokuchithwa kwegazi kuzadabula phakathi kwakho, njalo ngizaletha inkemba ukuba ikuhlasele. Mina Thixo sengikhulumile.”
又要使饥荒和恶兽到你那里,叫你丧子,瘟疫和流血的事也必盛行在你那里;我也要使刀剑临到你。这是我—耶和华说的。”
