UHezekheli 30
1 Ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi futhi, lisithi:
The worde of the Lord came againe vnto me, saying,
2 Ndodana yomuntu, profetha uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Qhinqani isililo: Maye ngalolosuku!
Sonne of man, prophesie, and say, Thus sayth the Lord God, Howle and cry, Wo be vnto this day.
3 Ngoba usuku luseduze, ngitsho usuku lweNkosi luseduze, usuku olulamayezi; kuzakuba yisikhathi sezizwe.
For the day is neere, and the day of the Lord is at hand, a cloudie day, and it shall be the time of the heathen.
4 Lenkemba izafika eGibhithe, losizi luzakuba seEthiyophiya, lapho ababuleweyo bezakuwa eGibhithe; ngoba bazasusa ixuku layo, lezisekelo zayo zidilizelwe phansi.
And the sword shall come vpon Egypt, and feare shall be in Ethiopia, when the slaine shall fall in Egypt, when they shall take away her multitude, and when her foundations shall be broken downe.
5 IEthiyophiya, lePuti, leLudi, labo bonke abantu abahlanganisiweyo, leKhubi, labantwana belizwe lesivumelwano, bazakuwa ngenkemba kanye labo.
Ethiopia and Phut, and Lud, and all the common people, and Cub, and the men of the land, that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.
6 Itsho njalo iNkosi: Yebo, abasekela iGibhithe bazakuwa, lokuzigqaja kwamandla ayo kuzakwehla; kusukela eMigidoli kuze kube seSevene bazakuwa kuyo ngenkemba, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
Thus sayth the Lord, They also that mainteine Egypt, shall fall, and the pride of her power shall come downe: from the towre of Seueneh shall they fall by the sword, sayth the Lord God.
7 Njalo bazachitheka phakathi kwamazwe achithekileyo; lemizi yayo izakuba phakathi kwemizi engamanxiwa.
And they shall be desolate in the middes of the countries that are desolate, and her cities shall be in the middes of the cities that are wasted.
8 Khona bezakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi, sengibeke umlilo eGibhithe, lapho bonke abasizi bayo sebephuliwe.
And they shall knowe that I am the Lord, when I haue set a fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed.
9 Ngalolosuku izithunywa zizaphuma phambi kwami ngemikhumbi ukuyakwethusa amaEthiyophiya onwabileyo, losizi luzakuba phakathi kwabo osukwini lweGibhithe, ngoba, khangela, luyeza.
In that day shall there messengers go forth from me in shippes, to make the carelesse Mores aftaide, and feare shall come vpon them, as in the day of Egypt: for loe, it commeth.
10 Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Yebo, ngizaqeda ixuku leGibhithe ngesandla sikaNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni.
Thus sayth the Lord God, I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel.
11 Yena, labantu bakhe kanye laye, abesabekayo bezizwe, bazalethwa ukuzachitha ilizwe; njalo bazahwatsha izinkemba zabo bemelene leGibhithe, bagcwalise ilizwe ngababuleweyo.
For he and his people with him, euen the terrible nations shall be brought to destroy the land: and they shall drawe their swordes against Egypt, and fill the land with the slaine.
12 Njalo ngizakwenza imifula itshe, ngithengise ilizwe esandleni sabakhohlakeleyo, ngilichithe ilizwe lokugcwala kwalo ngesandla sabezizwe; mina Nkosi ngikhulumile.
And I will make the riuers drye, and fell the land into the hands of the wicked, and I will make the land waste, and all that therein is by the hands of strangers: I the Lord haue spoken it.
13 Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ngizabhubhisa lezithombe, ngiqede izifanekiso eNofi; njalo kakusayikuba khona isiphathamandla esivela elizweni leGibhithe; njalo ngizaletha ukwesaba elizweni leGibhithe.
Thus saith the Lord God, I will also destroy the idoles, and I will cause their idoles to cease out of Noph, and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt, and I will send a feare in the land of Egypt.
14 Ngenze iPatrosi ibe lunxiwa, ngibeke umlilo eZowani, ngenze izahlulelo eNo.
And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and I will execute iudgement in No.
15 Ngithulule ulaka lwami phezu kweSini, amandla eGibhithe; ngiqume ixuku leNo.
And I will powre my wrath vpon Sin, which is the strength of Egypt: and I will destroy the multitude of No.
16 Ngibeke umlilo eGibhithe; iSini izakuba lobuhlungu obukhulu; leNo izadatshulwa phakathi; leNofi izakhathazeka nsuku zonke.
And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall haue great sorowe and No shalbe destroyed, and Noph shall haue sorowes dayly.
17 Amajaha eAvene lePhibhesethi azakuwa ngenkemba, lale imizi izakuya ekuthunjweni.
The yong men of Auen, and of Phibeseth shall fall by the sworde: and these cities shall goe into captiuitie.
18 Njalo eThahaphanesi imini izakuba mnyama, lapho ngizakwephula khona amajogwe eGibhithe, lokuzikhukhumeza kwamandla ayo kuzaphela kiyo. Yona, iyezi lizayisibekela, lamadodakazi ayo azakuya ekuthunjweni.
At Tehaphnehes the day shall restraine his light, when I shall breake there the barres of Egypt: and when the pompe of her power shall cease in her, the cloude shall couer her, and her daughters shall goe into captiuitie.
19 Ngokunjalo ngizakwenza izahlulelo eGibhithe. Khona bezakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.
Thus will I execute iudgements in Egypt, and they shall knowe that I am the Lord.
20 Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wetshumi lanye, ngenyanga yokuqala, ngolwesikhombisa lwenyanga, ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi, lisithi:
And in the eleuenth yeere, in the first moneth, and in the seuenth day of the moneth, the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
21 Ndodana yomuntu, ngiyephule ingalo kaFaro inkosi yeGibhithe; khangela-ke kayibotshwanga ukuthi kunikwe ukuphola, ukuthi kufakwe uhlaka lokuyibopha, ukuyiqinisela ukubamba inkemba.
Sonne of man, I haue broken the arme of Pharaoh King of Egypt: and lo, it shall not be boud vp to be healed, neither shall they put a roule to bind it, and so make it strong, to hold the sworde.
22 Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngimelene loFaro inkosi yeGibhithe, njalo ngizakwephula ingalo zakhe, elamandla, laleyo eyephukileyo, ngenze inkemba iwe esandleni sakhe.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I come against Pharaoh King of Egypt, and will breake his arme, that was strong, but is broken, and I will cause the sworde to fall out of his hande.
23 Ngihlakazele amaGibhithe phakathi kwezizwe, ngiwasabalalisele emazweni.
And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countreys.
24 Ngiqinise ingalo zenkosi yeBhabhiloni, ngibeke inkemba yami esandleni sayo; kodwa ngizakwephula izingalo zikaFaro, abubule phambi kwayo ngokububula kogwaziweyo.
And I will strengthen the arme of the King of Babel, and put my sworde in his hand, but I will breake Pharaohs armes, and he shall cast out sighings, as the sighings of him, that is wounded before him.
25 Kodwa ngizaqinisa ingalo zenkosi yeBhabhiloni, lengalo zikaFaro zizawela phansi; njalo bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi, sengifake inkemba yami esandleni senkosi yeBhabhiloni, isiyelule phezu kwelizwe leGibhithe.
But I will strengthen the armes of the king of Babel, and the armes of Pharaoh shall fall downe, and they shall knowe, that I am the Lord, when I shall put my sworde into the hand of the King of Babel, and he shall stretch it out vpon the land of Egypt.
26 Njalo ngizahlakaza amaGibhithe phakathi kwezizwe, ngiwasabalalisele emazweni. Njalo bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.
And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among ye countreys, and they shall knowe, that I am the Lord.
