< UHezekheli 23 >
1 Ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi futhi lisithi:
HIKI mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
2 Ndodana yomuntu, kwakulabesifazana ababili, amadodakazi omfazi oyedwa.
E ke keiki a ke kanaka, Elua aku la wahine, na kaikamahine a ka makuwahine hookahi:
3 Basebesenza ubuwule eGibhithe; benza ubuwule ebutsheni babo; amabele abo abotozwa khonapho, lengono zobuntombi babo zacindezelwa khonapho.
Moe kolohe laua ma Aiguipita; moe kolohe laua i ko laua wa opiopio: malaila i kaomiia ko laua mau umauma, a malaila i paopao ai lakou i na omaka o ko laua puupaa ana.
4 Lamabizo abo ayenguOhola omdala, loOholiba umnawakhe. Njalo babengabami, bazala amadodana lamadodakazi. Lamabizo abo: UOhola uyiSamariya, loOholiba uyiJerusalema.
A o ko laua mau inoa, o Ahola ke kaikuaana, a o Aholiba kona kaikaina; a na'u no laua, a ua hanau laua i na keikikaue a me na kaikamahine. Pela hoi ko laua mau inoa, o Ahola, o Samaria ia, a o Aholiba, o Ierusalema ia.
5 UOhola wasesenza ubuwule engaphansi kwami, wakhanuka izithandwa zakhe, amaAsiriya aseduze,
Moe kolohe aku la o Ahola i kona wa na'u, a hauoli no ia i kana mau ipo, ko Asuria kona hoalauna,
6 agqoke okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, abalawulimabutho lababusi, bonke bengamajaha aloyisekayo, abagadi bamabhiza begade amabhiza.
I aahuia i ke kapa poni uliuli, na luna koa me na'lii, na kanaka ui e makemakeia lakou a pau, a hoohololio e holo ana maluna o na lio.
7 Ngokunjalo wanika ubuwule bakhe kubo, bonke belikhethelo labantwana beAsiriya, lakubo bonke obakhanukayo; wazingcolisa ngazo zonke izithombe zabo.
Pela ia i hana'i i kona moe kolohe ana me lakou, me ko Asuria poe a pau i waeia, a me ka poe a pau ana i hauoli ai; a me ko lakou mau akuakii a pau i hoohaumia ai oia ia ia iho.
8 Futhi kabuyekelanga ubuwule bakhe abuya labo eGibhithe, ngoba ebutsheni bakhe balala laye, bona-ke bacindezela izingono zobuntombi bakhe, bathululela ukuphinga kwabo phezu kwakhe.
Aole hoi ia i haalele i kona moe kolohe ana mai Aigupita mai; no ka mea, i kona wa opiopio moe pu lakou me ia, a pepe iho la i na u o kona puupaa ana, a ua ninini aku i ko lakou moe kolohe ana maluna ona.
9 Ngakho ngamnikela esandleni sezithandwa zakhe, esandleni sabantwana beAsiriya ayebakhanuka.
Nolaila i haawi aku ai au ia ia iloko o ka lima o kana poe ipo, i ka lima o ko Asuria, na mea ana i hauoli ai.
10 Bona baveza ubunqunu bakhe; bathatha amadodana lamadodakazi akhe, bambulala ngenkemba; wasesiba libizo phakathi kwabesifazana, lapho benza isahlulelo phezu kwakhe.
Ua wehe lakou i kona wahi huna, a lalau hoi i kana mau kaikamahine, a pepehi iho la lakou ia ia me ka pahikaua; a kaulana aku la oia iwaena o na wahine, no ka mea, ua hoopai lakou ia ia.
11 Kwathi umnawakhe uOholiba ekubona, wonakala ekukhanukeni kwakhe kulaye, lebuwuleni bakhe okwedlula ubuwule bukadadewabo.
A ike aku la kona kaikaina o Aholiba ia mea, ua oi aku kona hewa i kona kuko ana mamua ona, a i kona moe kolohe ana mamua o kona kaikuaana i kona moe kolohe ana.
12 Wakhanuka abantwana beAsiriya, abalawulimabutho lababusi abaseduze, abagqoke okupheleleyo, abagadi bamabhiza begade amabhiza, bonke bengamajaha akhanukekayo.
Hauoli iho la oia i ko Asuria kona mau hoalauna, na luna koa a me na'lii kahiko nani ia, na hoohololio, e holo ana maluna o na lio, he poe kanaka ui lakou a pau e makemakeia.
13 Ngasengibona ukuthi ungcolisiwe; bobabili babelendlelanye.
Alaila ike aku la au ua haumia ia, hele pu hoi laua i ka aoao hookahi;
14 Wasesengezelela ebuwuleni bakhe; lapho ebona abesilisa bebazwe ngokugujwa emdulini, izithombe zamaKhaladiya zibazwe ngokugujwa ngokubomvu,
A ua hoomahuahua oia i kona moe kolohe ana; no ka mea, i kona ike ana i na kanaka i kakauia ma ka paia, o na kii o ko Kaledea i kakauia me ka pena ulaula,
15 bebhince ibhanti ezinkalweni zabo, belamaqhiye alengayo emakhanda abo, bonke bekhangeleka beyiziphathamandla, umfanekiso wabantwana beBhabhiloni, beKhaladiya, ilizwe lokuzalwa kwabo.
Kaeiia hoi me na kaei ma ko lakou puhaka, nani hoi ko lakou lole hooluuia ma ko lakou mau poo, he poe alii lakou a pau i ka nana aku, ma ke ano o ko Babulona no Kaledea, ko lakou aina hanau:
16 Wasebakhanuka ekubaboneni ngamehlo akhe, wathuma izithunywa kubo eKhaladiya.
A i kona ike ana ia lakou me kona mau maka, hauoli aku la oia ia lakou, a hoouna aku la i na elele io lakou la ma Kaledea.
17 Amadodana eBhabhiloni afika kuye embhedeni wothando, amngcolisa ngokuphinga kwawo, wasengcoliswa yiwo; khona umphefumulo wakhe wehlukaniswa lawo.
Hele mai la hoi ko Babela io na la iloko o ka moe aloha, a hoohaumia ia ia me ko lakou moe kolohe ana, a ua haumia oia ia lakou, a ua ku e kona manao ia lakou.
18 Wasesembula ubuwule bakhe, wembula ubunqunu bakhe; khona umphefumulo wami wehlukaniswa laye, njengalokhu umphefumulo wami wehlukaniswa lodadewabo.
A pela i hoike ai oia i kona moe kolohe ana, a wehe hoi i kona wahi huna; alaila ku e ko'u manao ia ia, e like me ke ku e ana o ko'u naau i kona kaikuaana.
19 Kodwa wandisa ubuwule bakhe, ngokukhumbula izinsuku zobutsha bakhe afebe ngazo elizweni leGibhithe.
Ua hoomabuahua nae oia i kona moe kolohe ana, e hoomanao ana i na la o kona opiopio ana i moe kolohe ai i ka aina o Aigupita.
20 Wasekhanuka izithandwa zabo, onyama yazo iyinyama yabobabhemi, lokukhihliza kwazo kuyikukhihliza kwamabhiza.
No ka mea, ua hauoli oia i kana mau ipo, o ko lakou io he like me ka io o na hoki, a o ko lakou kahe ana ua like me ko na lio kahe ana.
21 Ngokunjalo wena wakhumbula amanyala obutsha bakho, ekucindezelweni kwengono zakho ngamaGibhithe, ngenxa yamabele obutsha bakho.
Pela i hoomanao ai oe i ka moe kolohe ana o kou wa opiopio, i ka pepe ana o kou mau omaka i ko Aigupita no na u o kou opiopio ana.
22 Ngakho, wena Oholiba, itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngizavusa izithandwa zakho zimelane lawe, owehlukana lazo umphefumulo wakho, ngizilethe zimelane lawe zivela inhlangothi zonke;
Nolaila, e Aholiba, ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; E hooku ae au i kau mau ipo e ku e ia oe, na mea a kou naau i ku e ai, a e lawe mai au ia lakou e ku e ia oe a puni;
23 abantwana beBhabhiloni, lamaKhaladiya wonke, iPekodi, leShowa, leKowa, labo bonke abantwana beAsiriya kanye labo, bonke bengamajaha akhanukekayo, abalawulimabutho, lababusi, izinduna, labalodumo, bonke begade amabhiza.
I ko Babulona, a me ko Kaledea a pau, o Pekoda, a me Soa, a me Koa, a me ko Asuria a pau me lakou; he poe kanaka ui i makemakeia lakou a pau na luna koa, me na'lii, a me na haku nui, a he kaulana hoi, e holo ana lakou a pau maluna o na lio.
24 Njalo bazakuza bemelene lawe belezikhali, izinqola, lamavili, langexuku labantu; bazamisa bemelene lawe ihawu lesihlangu lekhowa inhlangothi zonke; njalo ngizabeka isigwebo phambi kwabo, bakugwebe njengokwezigwebo zabo.
A e hele ku e mai lakou ia oe me na kaa kaua, a me na kaa waiwai, a me na huila, a me ke anaina kanaka, e hoonoho ku e ia oe i ka pale kaua, i ka pale umauma, a me ka mahiole a puni; a e hoonoho aku au i ka hoopai ana imua o lakou, a e hoopai aku lakou ia oe mamuli o ko lakou hoopai ana.
25 Njalo ngizabeka ubukhwele bami bumelane lawe, bakuphathe ngolaka; bazasusa impumulo yakho lendlebe zakho, lensali yakho izakuwa ngenkemba; bona bazathatha amadodana lamadodakazi akho, lensali yakho izadliwa ngumlilo.
A e hooku e au i ko'u lili ia oe, a hana lakou me ka ukiuki ia oe, a o kaili lakou i kou ihu a me kou mau pepeiao; a e haule kou koena i ka pahikaua; a e lawe lakou i kau mau keikikane a me kau mau kaikamahine; a e hoopauia kou koena i ke ahi.
26 Futhi bazakuhlubula izigqoko zakho, bathathe iziceciso zakho ezinhle.
E hemo hoi ia lakou kou mau kapa komo, a e kaili ae hoi lakou i kou mau mea nani e nani ai.
27 Ngokunjalo ngizaqeda amanyala akho kuwe, lobuwule bakho owasuka labo elizweni leGibhithe, ukuze ungabe uphakamisela amehlo akho kubo, ungabe usakhumbula iGibhithe.
Pela e hooki ai au i kou moe haumia ana, mai ou aku, a me kou moe kolohe ana no Aigupita mai, i ole oe e leha hou ae i kou mau maka ia lakou, aole hoi e hoomanao hou aku ia Aigupita.
28 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngizakunikela esandleni salabo obazondayo, esandleni salabo umphefumulo wakho owehlukaniswe labo.
No ka mea, ke olelo nei Iehova ka Haku, penei; Aia hoi, e haawi aku au ia oe iloko o ka lima o ka poe au i hoowahawaha ai, a i ka lima o ka poe a kou naau i ku e ai.
29 Njalo bazakuphatha ngenzondo, bathathe wonke umtshikatshika wakho, bakutshiye unqunu uze; lobunqunu bobuwule bakho buzakwembulwa, lamanyala akho lobuwule bakho.
A e hana aku lakou ia oe me ka inaina, a e lawe ae i kau mea i hana'i, a e waiho aku ia oe he olohelohe me ke kapa ole; a e akaka loa kou moe kolohe ana, o kou moe haumia ana a me kou hookamakama ana.
30 Lezizinto zizakwenziwa kuwe, ngoba ulandele abezizweni ngokuwula, langenxa yokuthi wangcoliswa ngezithombe zabo.
E hana aku au i keia mau mea ia oe no kou hele moe kolohe ana mamuli o na lahuikanaka, a no kou haumia ana i ko lakou mau akuakii.
31 Uhambile ngendlela kadadewenu; ngakho ngizanikela inkezo yakhe esandleni sakho.
Ua hele oe ma ka aoao o kou kaikuaana; nolaila e haawi aku ai au i kona kiaha iloko o kou lima.
32 Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Uzanatha inkezo kadadewenu ezikileyo lebanzi; uzakuba yinhlekisa lokuklolodelwa; imumethe okunengi.
Olelo mai o Iehova ka Haku, penei; E inu no oe i ko ke kiaha o kou kaikuaana he hohonu a he nui; a e heneheneia oe a e akaakaia, no ka mea, he nui ko loko.
33 Uzagcwala ukudakwa losizi, inkezo yesesabiso lencithakalo, inkezo kadadewenu iSamariya.
E piha auanei oe i ka ona a me ka ehaeha, me ke kiaha o ka makau a me ka neoneo, o ke kiaha o kou kaikuaana o ko Samaria.
34 Yebo, uzayinatha, uyibhije, uphahlaze indengezi zayo, utshuphule amabele akho; ngoba ngikhulumile, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
E inu no hoi oe ia mea, a e omo ae hoi, a e wahi no hoi oe i na apana ona, a e kaili ae i kou mau u ponoi; no ka mea, ua olelo au ia mea, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
35 Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ngoba ungikhohliwe, wangilahlela ngemva komhlana wakho, ngakho lawe thwala amanyala akho lobuwule bakho.
Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei Iehova, penei; No ka mea, ua hoopoina mai oe ia'u, a ua kiola oe ia'u mahope o kou kua; nolaila e halihali oe i kou moe haumia ana a me kou moe kolohe ana.
36 INkosi yathi futhi kimi: Ndodana yomuntu, uzakwahlulela uOhola loOholiba yini? Yebo, batshele izinengiso zabo.
Olelo hou mai la o Iehova ia'u, E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e hoahewa anei oe ia Ahola, a me Aholiba? oia, e hai aku oe ia laua i ko laua mea e inainaia;
37 Ngoba bafebile, legazi lisezandleni zabo, njalo bafebile lezithombe zabo, futhi lamadodana abo, abangizalele wona, bawadabulise emlilweni ukuthi abe yikudla.
No ka mea, ua moe kolohe laua, a he koko no iloko o ko laua mau lima, a me ko laua mau akuakii i moe kolohe ai laua, a ua hoohele laua i ka laua mau keiki i hanau na'u iwaena o ke ahi i mea ai na lakou.
38 Babuye benza lokhu kimi: Bangcolise indawo yami engcwele ngalolosuku, bangcolisa lamasabatha ami.
Eia hoi kekahi mea a lakou i hana mai ia'u, ua hoohaumia lakou i ko'u wahi hoano ia la hookahi, a ua hehi hoi i ko'u mau Sabati.
39 Ngoba sebebulalele izithombe zabo abantwana babo, basebengena ngalona lolosuku endaweni yami engcwele ukuthi bayingcolise; khangela-ke, benze njalo phakathi kwendlu yami.
No ka mea, i ko laua pepehi aua i ka laua mau keiki, no ko laua mau akuakii, alaila hele mai laua ia la no, iloko o ko'u wahi hoano, e hoohaumia ia wahi; pela hoi i hana'i laua, ea, iwaenakonu o kuu hale!
40 Lalokho ukuthi bathumele kumadoda avela khatshana, okwathunywa kiwo isithunywa, khangela-ke, afika; owawagezelayo, wacomba amehlo akho, wazicecisa ngeziceciso.
Eia hou hoi, ua kii aku olua i na kanaka e hele mai lakou mai kahi loihi mai, ia lakou i hoounaia'ku ai ka elele, oia hoi, ua hiki mai lakou; no lakou hoi i holoi ai oe ia oe iho, a pena hoi i kou mau maka, a kahiko hoi ia oe iho me na mea e nani ai.
41 Wahlala embhedeni okhazimulayo, letafula lalungiswa phambi kwawo, owabeka phezu kwalo impepha yami lamafutha ami.
A noho no oe maluna o kahi moe nui, a he papa i hoomakaukauia imua ona, maluna iho hoi i hoonoho ai oe i kuu mea ala, a me kuu aila.
42 Lelizwi lexuku elonwabileyo lalilaye; lakumadoda exuku labantu kwalethwa amaSabeya avela enkangala, afaka amasongo ezandleni zawo, lomqhele omuhle emakhanda awo.
A o ka leo o ke anaina e nanea ana kekahi me ia, a ua lawe pu ia na makaainana me ka poe ona, mai ka waonahele mai, ua kau lakou i na kupee ma ko lakou mau lima, a me na lei nani maluna o ko lakou mau poo.
43 Ngasengisithi kowesifazana owayeguge ngokufeba: Khathesi bazakwenza ubuwule laye, yena-ke labo.
Alaila olelo iho au no ka mea kahiko ma ka moe kolohe ana, E moe kolohe anei lakou mo ia, a oia pu hoi me lakou?
44 Basebengena kuye, njengoba besiya kowesifazana oyisifebe; ngokunjalo bangena kuOhola lakuOholiba, abesifazana abalamanyala.
Aka, komo iloko lakou io na la e like me ko lakou hele ana ae iloko i ka wahine hookamakama; pela e komo ai lakou iloko io Ahola la, a io Aholiba la i na wahine moe haumia.
45 Kodwa amadoda alungileyo wona azabagweba, ngokwendlela yezifebekazi langendlela yabesifazana abachitha igazi; ngoba bayizifebekazi, njalo igazi lisezandleni zabo.
A o na kanaka pono, e hoahewa lakou ia laua e like me ka lakou hoahewa ana i na wahine moe kolohe, a mamuli hoi o ke ano o na wahine hookahe i ke koko; no ka mea, he mau wahine moe kolohe laua a he koko ko loko o ko laua mau lima.
46 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ngizabenyusela ixuku, ngibanikele babe yisesabiso njalo babe yimpango.
No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; E lawe mai au i ka lehulehu maluna o laua, a e haawi aku au ia laua e laweia'ku a eha oia.
47 Njalo ixuku lizabakhanda ngamatshe, libaqume ngezinkemba zalo, libulale amadodana abo lamadodakazi abo, litshise izindlu zabo ngomlilo.
A e hailuku aku ke anaina ia laua me na pohaku, a e kua iho ia laua ilalo me ka lakou mau pahikaua, e luku lakou i ka laua mau keiki kane a me ka laua mau kaikamahine, a e hoopau i ko laua mau hale me ke ahi.
48 Ngokunjalo ngizakwenza amanyala aphele elizweni, ukuze bonke abesifazana bafundiswe ukuthi bangenzi ngokwamanyala enu.
Pela e hoopau aku ai au i ka moe kolohe, mai ka aina aku, i aoia'ku ai na wahine a pau aole e hana mamuli o ko olua moe kolohe ana.
49 Ngokunjalo bazabeka amanyala enu phezu kwenu, lithwale izono zezithombe zenu. Lizakwazi-ke ukuthi ngiyiNkosi uJehova.
A e uku lakou i ko olua moe kolohe ana maluna o olua, a e halihali olua i na hewa o ko olua mau akuakii; a e ike no oukou owau no Iehova ka Haku.
