UHezekheli 29

1 Ngomnyaka wetshumi, ngenyanga yetshumi, ngolwetshumi lambili lwenyanga, ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi, lisithi:

Naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe taʻu, mo hono hongofulu ʻoe māhina, pea mo hono hongofulu ma ua ʻoe ʻaho, ʻo pehē,

2 Ndodana yomuntu, misa ubuso bakho bumelene loFaro inkosi yeGibhithe, uprofethe umelene laye, njalo umelene layo yonke iGibhithe.

“Foha ʻoe tangata, fakahanga ho mata kia Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, pea kikite kiate ia, pea mo ʻIsipite kātoa.

3 Khuluma uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngimelane lawe, Faro, nkosi yeGibhithe, umgobho omkhulu olele phakathi kwemifula yawo, othi: Umfula wami ngowami, ngazenzela wona.

Lea, pea ke pehē, ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua: Vakai, ʻoku ou tuʻu kiate koe, ʻe Felo, tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻa koe ko e kalokataile ʻoku tokoto ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ho ngaahi vaitafe, ʻa koe kuo ke pehē, ‘Ko hoku vaitafe ʻoku ʻoʻoku pe ia, pea kuo u ngaohi ia kiate au pē.’

4 Kodwa ngizafaka izingwegwe emihlathini yakho, ngenze inhlanzi zemifula yakho zinamathele emaxolweni akho, ngikukhuphule phakathi kwemifula yakho, lazo zonke inhlanzi zemifula yakho zizanamathela emaxolweni akho.

Ka te u ʻai ʻeau ʻae mātaʻu ʻi ho ngutu, pea te u pule ki he ika kotoa pē ʻi ho ngaahi vaitafe, ke nau pipiki ki ho ʻuno, pea te u fusi hake koe mei he loto vaitafe, pea ʻe pipiki ki ho ʻuno ʻae ika kotoa pē ʻi ho ngaahi vaitafe.

5 Njalo ngizakutshiya enkangala, wena lazo zonke inhlanzi zemifula yakho; uzawela ebusweni beganga; kawuyikuhlanganiswa, kawuyikubuthwa; ngizakunikela ube yikudla kuzo izilo zeganga lenyoni zamazulu.

Pea te u tuku siʻaki pe koe ki he toafa, ʻa koe mo e ika kotoa pē ʻo ho ngaahi vaitafe: te ke tō atu ki he ʻatā ʻoe ngaahi potu ngoue; pea ʻe ʻikai toe fakamaʻopo koe pe tānaki: kuo u foaki koe ko e meʻakai ki he fanga manu ʻoe vao, pea mo e fanga manupuna ʻoe langi.

6 Labo bonke abahlali beGibhithe bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi, ngoba bebeludondolo lomhlanga kuyo indlu kaIsrayeli.

Pea ʻe ʻilo ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsipite ko au ko Sihova, koeʻuhi kuo nau tatau pe mo e vaʻa kaho ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli.

7 Lapho bekubamba ngesandla, wephula wadabula lonke ihlombe labo; lalapho beseyama kuwe, wephuka, wenza zonke inkalo zabo zama.

‌ʻI heʻenau puke koe ʻi honau nima naʻa ke mafesi, pea makohikohi ai honau nima kotoa pē: pea ʻi heʻenau faʻaki kiate koe naʻa ke fasi, pea fakahomohomo ai honau hokotanga hui kotoa pē.”

8 Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngizaletha inkemba phezu kwakho, ngiqume kusuke kuwe umuntu lenyamazana.

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Vakai te u ʻomi ʻae heletā kiate koe pea tuʻusi meiate koe ʻae tangata pea mo e manu.

9 Lelizwe leGibhithe lizakuba yincithakalo lenkangala. Khona bezakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi. Ngoba uthe: Umfula ngowami, mina-ke ngiwenzile.

Pea ʻe lala mo vaoa ʻae fonua ʻo ʻIsipite; pea te nau ʻilo ko au ko Sihova; koeʻuhi kuo ne pehē ʻe ia, ʻOku ʻoʻoku ʻae vaitafe, pea kuo u ngaohi ia ʻeau.

10 Ngakho, khangela, ngimelene lawe, ngimelene lemifula yakho; ngenze ilizwe leGibhithe libe yizincithakalo isibili lenkangala, kusukela emphotshongweni kusiya eSevene kuze kube semngceleni weEthiyophiya.

Vakai, ko ia ia ʻoku ou tuʻu au kiate koe, pea mo ho ngaahi vaitafe, pea te u ngaohi ʻae fonua ʻo ʻIsipite ke lala ʻaupito mo vaoa mei Mikitoli mo Saiini ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻo ʻItiopea.

11 Kakulanyawo lomuntu oluzadlula kilo, kakulanyawo lwenyamazana oluzadlula kilo; futhi kaliyikuhlalwa okweminyaka engamatshumi amane.

‌ʻE ʻikai ʻalu atu ai ha vaʻe ʻo ha tangata, pe ʻalu atu ʻi ai ha vaʻe ʻo ha manu, pea ʻe ʻikai hano kakai ʻi ai ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu.

12 Ngoba ngizakwenza ilizwe leGibhithe libe yincithakalo phakathi kwamazwe wonke achithekileyo; lemizi yalo phakathi kwemizi engamanxiwa izakuba yincithakalo okweminyaka engamatshumi amane; njalo ngizahlakaza amaGibhithe phakathi kwezizwe, ngiwasabalalise emazweni.

Pea te u ngaohi ke lala ʻae fonua ʻo ʻIsipite ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi fonua kuo lala, pea ko ʻene ngaahi kolo ʻi he ngaahi kolo kuo lala ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu: pea te u fakamovete ʻae kakai ʻIsipite ki he ngaahi puleʻanga, pea te u fakahēʻi ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi fonua.

13 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ekupheleni kweminyaka engamatshumi amane ngizabutha amaGibhithe ebantwini abahlakazekele khona.

Ka ko eni, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻI he hili ʻae taʻu ʻe fāngofulu, te u tānaki ʻae kakai ʻIsipite mei he ngaahi potu naʻe fakahēʻi ki ai ʻakinautolu.

14 Njalo ngizabuyisela abathunjwa beGibhithe, ngibenze babuyele elizweni lePatrosi, elizweni lokuzalwa kwabo; lapho-ke bazakuba ngumbuso ophansi.

Pea te u toe liliu mai ʻae pōpula ʻo ʻIsipite, pea te u pule ke nau toe haʻu ki he fonua ko Patalosi, ki he fonua ʻo honau nofoʻanga; ka te nau ʻi ai ko e puleʻanga moʻulaloa.

15 Lizakuba phansi kulayo imibuso, futhi kalisayikuziphakamisa phezu kwezizwe; ngoba ngizabanciphisa ukuze bangabuyi babuse phezu kwezizwe.

‌ʻE māʻulalo hifo ia ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga; pea ʻe ʻikai te ne toe hiki hake ia ʻe ia ke māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga; he te u ngaohi ke fakaʻaʻau ki mui ʻakinautolu, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa toe pule ia ki he ngaahi puleʻanga.

16 Njalo kalisayikuba lithemba kuyo indlu kaIsrayeli, eletha ukukhunjulwa kwesiphambeko, lapho bephenduka ukulandela bona. Kodwa bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi uJehova.

Pea ʻe ʻikai toe hoko ia ko e falalaʻanga ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ka nau ka sio ki ai te nau manatuʻi ʻenau hia: ka te nau ʻilo au, ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”

17 Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa, ngenyanga yokuqala, ngolokuqala lwenyanga, ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi, lisithi:

Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki hono uofulu ma fitu ʻoe taʻu, ʻi hono ʻuluaki māhina, ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻoe māhina, naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,

18 Ndodana yomuntu, uNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni wenza ibutho lakhe lakhonza inkonzo enkulu limelene leTire; lonke ikhanda laphucwa, lalo lonke ihlombe lasutshulwa; kanti yena kalamvuzo, lebutho lakhe, ngenxa yeTire, ngenxa yenkonzo ayikhonza emelene layo.

“Foha ʻoe tangata, naʻe pule ʻe Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone ki heʻene kautau, ke nau fai ʻae ngāue lahi ki Taia: naʻe tula ai ʻae ʻulu kotoa pē, pea mafohi ai ʻae uma kotoa pē: ka naʻe ʻikai haʻane totongi ʻaʻana, pe ko ʻene kautau, koeʻuhi ko Taia, mo e ngāue lahi naʻa ne fai ki ai:

19 Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngizanikela ilizwe leGibhithe kuNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni; njalo uzathatha ixuku layo, athumbe ukuthunjwa kwayo, aphange impango yayo; njalo kuzakuba liholo lebutho lakhe.

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua: Vakai, te u foaki ʻae fonua ko ʻIsipite kia Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone; pea te ne maʻu hono kakai, pea maʻu hono koloa, pea veteki ia; pea ko e totongi ia ki heʻene kautau.

20 Ngimnike ilizwe leGibhithe kube ngumvuzo akhonza ngawo kulo, ngoba bangisebenzela, itsho iNkosi uJehova.

Kuo u foaki kiate ia ʻae fonua ko ʻIsipite, koeʻuhi ko e ngāue ʻaia naʻa ne fai ki ai, he naʻa nau fai ia maʻaku, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua.

21 Ngalolosuku ngizakwenza uphondo lwendlu kaIsrayeli lukhahlele, ngikunike ukukhamisa komlomo phakathi kwabo. Njalo bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.

‌ʻI he ʻaho ko ia te u ngaohi ke tupu ʻae moto ʻoe nifo ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli, pea te u tuku ke faʻa matoʻo ai ho ngutu ʻiate kinautolu; pea te nau ʻilo ko Sihova au.”
