UHezekheli 31
1 Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wetshumi lanye, ngenyanga yesithathu, ngolokuqala lwenyanga, ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi, lisithi:
EIA hoi kekahi, i ka makahiki umikumamakahi, i ka malama kolu, i ka la mua o ka malama; hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
2 Ndodana yomuntu, tshono kuFaro inkosi yeGibhithe lexukwini lakhe: Ufanana lobani ebukhulwini bakho?
E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e olelo aku oe ia Parao ko Aigupita alii, a me kona lehulehu, Owai la ka mea e like ai me oe i kou nui ana?
3 Khangela, iAsiriya yayingumsedari eLebhanoni, omuhle ngengatsha, njengegusu elilomthunzi, njalo umude ngokuphakama, lesihloko sawo sasiphakathi kwengatsha eziqatha.
Aia hoi, o ka Asuria, he laau kedera no Lebanona ia, he nani kona mau lala, he ululaau malumalu, he kino kiekie; aia hoi kona welau iwaena o na lala paapu.
4 Amanzi awukhulisa, inziki yawuphakamisa, imifula yawo yageleza yazingelezela indawo ohlanyelwe kiyo, wakhuphela izifudlana zawo kuzo zonke izihlahla zeganga.
Na na wai i hoonui ia ia, ua hookiekie ka hohonu ia ia me kona mau waikahe e kahe ana a puni kona wahi i kanuia'i, a ua hoopuka ae i kona mau kahawai liilii i na kumu laau a pau.
5 Ngakho-ke ubude bawo baphakama bedlula zonke izihlahla zeganga, lengatsha zawo zanda, lamahlumela awo aba made, ngenxa yamanzi amanengi, lapho uwaphumisa.
Nolaila i hookiekieia'i kona kiekie, maluna o na laau a pau o ke kula, a ua hoonuiia kona mau lala, a loloa ae la kona mau lala no ka nui o kona mau wai, i kona kupu ana'e.
6 Lazo zonke izinyoni zamazulu zakha izidleke zazo ezingatsheni zawo, lenyamazana zonke zeganga zazalela ngaphansi kwengatsha zawo, langaphansi komthunzi wawo kwahlala izizwe zonke ezinkulu.
Maloko o kona mau lala i hana aku ai na manu a pau o ka lewa i ko lakou mau punana, a maloko iho o kona mau lala i hanau ai na holoholona a pau o ke kula i ka lakou mau keiki, a malalo iho o kona mala i noho ai na lahuikanaka nui a pau.
7 Ngokunjalo wawumuhle ebukhulwini bawo, ebudeni bengatsha zawo; ngoba impande yawo yayingasemanzini amanengi.
Nolaila i nani ai ia i kona nui, a me ka loloa ana o kona mau lala; no ka mea, aia kona kumu ma na wai nui.
8 Imisedari esivandeni sikaNkulunkulu yayingewufiphaze; izihlahla zamafiri zazingafanani lengatsha zawo; lezingelamaxolo zazingafanani lamahlumela awo; futhi kwakungekho sihlahla esivandeni sikaNkulunkulu esinjengawo ebuhleni bawo.
Aole i hiki i ke kedera iloko o ka mala a ke Akua, ke hoonalo ia ia; aole like ka laau hukaa me kona mau lala, aole like ka laau pelatano me kona mau lala; aole laau iloko o ka mala a ke Akua i like me ia i kona nani.
9 Ngawenza waba muhle ngobunengi bezingatsha zawo, kwaze kwathi zonke izihlahla zeEdeni, ezazisesivandeni sikaNkulunkulu, zaba lomhawu ngawo.
Ua hana aku au ia ia i nani no ka nui loa o kona mau lala, i huahua hoi na laau a pau o Edena iloko o ka mala a ke Akua ia ia.
10 Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ngenxa yokuthi uziphakamisile ngobude, uthutshise isihloko sawo ngaphakathi kwezingatsha eziqatha, lenhliziyo yawo yaziphakamisa ngobude bawo;
No ia mea la, ke olelo mai nei Iehova ka Haku, No kou hookiekie ana ia oe iho i kiekie; a hoopuka aku oia i kona welau iwaena o na lala paapu, a ua hookiekie kona naau i kona kiekie;
11 ngakho ngizawunikela esandleni solamandla wezizweni; uzakwenza lokwenza lawo; ngiwuxotshile ngenxa yenkohlakalo yawo.
Nolaila i haawi aku au ia ia i ka lima o ka mea mana no na lahuikanaka, e hana no oia ia ia; ua kipaku aku au ia ia no kona hewa.
12 Njalo abemzini, abesabekayo bezizwe, bawuqumile bawutshiya; lengatsha zawo ziwele ezintabeni lakuzo zonke izihotsha; lamahlumela akhe ephulwe kuyo yonke imifula yelizwe; labo bonke abantu bomhlaba behlile basuka emthunzini wawo, bawutshiya.
A o na malihini, na mea weliweli o na lahuikanaka, ua oki aku lakou ia ia, a waiho aku ia ia ma na mauna, a ua haule kona mau lala ma na awawa a pau, a ua hakihaki kona mau lala ma na muliwai o ka honua, a iho iho la na lahuikanaka a pau o ka honua mai kona malu iho, a ua haalele ia ia.
13 Zonke inyoni zamazulu zizahlala phezu kwencithakalo yawo, lazo zonke inyamazana zeganga zizakuba phezu kwengatsha zawo.
A e noho na manu a pau o ka lewa maluna o kona puu opala, a me na holoholona o ke kula maluna o kona mau lala;
14 Ukuze kungabi khona kuzo zonke izihlahla ngasemanzini eziziphakamisayo ngenxa yobude bazo, futhi zingafuqi isihloko sazo ngaphakathi kwezingatsha eziqatha, futhi zingemi ngokwazo ngobude bazo, zonke ezinatha amanzi; ngoba zonke zinikelwe ekufeni endaweni engaphansi yomhlaba, phakathi kwabantwana babantu, kulabo abehlela egodini.
I mea e hookiekie ole ai kekahi o na laau a pau ma na wai, no ko lakou kiekie, aole hoi e hoopuka i ko lakou welau mawaena o na lala paapu, aole hoi e ku iluna ko lakou mau laau i ko lakou kiekie, o na mea a pau e inu ana i ka wai; no ka mea, ua haawiia lakou a pau i ka make i ko lalo mau wahi o ka honua iwaena o na keiki a kanaka, me na mea e iho ana i ka lua.
15 Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Mhla usehlela engcwabeni ngenza isililo, ngasibekela inziki ngenxa yawo, ngavimba izifula zayo, lamanzi amanengi amiswa; ngenza iLebhanoni ibe mnyama ngenxa yawo, lezihlahla zonke zeganga zabuna ngenxa yawo. (Sheol h7585)
Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei; i ka la i iho ai ia i ka luakupapau, hana hoi au e kanikau; ua uhi au i ka hohonu nona, a ua kaohi au i kona mau muliwai, a ua hoopaaia na wai nui; a hana aku au e kanikau o Lebauona nona, a maule ae la na laau a pau o ke kula nona. (Sheol h7585)
16 Ngenza izizwe zithuthumele ngomdumo wokuwa kwawo, lapho ngiwehlisela esihogweni lalabo abehlela egodini; lazo zonke izihlahla zeEdeni, ikhethelo lokuhle kweLebhanoni, zonke ezinatha amanzi, zaziduduza endaweni engaphansi yomhlaba. (Sheol h7585)
Ua hoohaalulu au i na lahuikanaka i ka halulu ana o kona haule ana, i kuu wa i hoolei iho ai au ia ia i ka po, me ka poe e iho ana i ka lua; a e oluolu pu na laau a pau i ko lalo wahi o ka honua, na laau a pau o Edena, o na mea i waeia a he maikai o Lebanona, a me na mea a pau e inuwai ana. (Sheol h7585)
17 Lazo zehlela esihogweni kanye lawo, kulabo ababebulewe ngenkemba; lababeyingalo yawo ababehlala ngaphansi komthunzi wawo phakathi kwezizwe. (Sheol h7585)
E iho iho la lakou me ia i ka po, i ka poe i pepehiia me ka pahikaua, a o ka poe i lilo i lima nona, a noho iho la malalo iho o kona malu, iwaenakonu o na lahuikanaka. (Sheol h7585)
18 Ufanana lobani ngokunjalo ngodumo langobukhulu phakathi kwezihlahla zeEdeni? Kanti uzakwehliselwa kanye lezihlahla zeEdeni endaweni engaphansi yomhlaba, ulale phakathi kwabangasokanga, kanye labo ababulewe ngenkemba. Lo nguFaro lexuku lakhe lonke, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
Owai la kou mea e like ai i ka nani, a me ka nui iwaena o na laau o Edena? aka, e hooiho oe ilalo me na laau o Edena i ko lalo mau wahi o ka honua: a e moe oe iwaena o ka poe okipoepoe ole ia me ka poe i pepehiia me ka pahikaua. Oia hoi, o Parao a me kona lehulehu a pau, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
