UHezekheli 39

1 Wena-ke ndodana yomuntu, profetha umelene loGogi, uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngimelane lawe, wena Gogi, siphathamandla esiyinhloko seMesheki leThubhali.

Therefore, thou sonne of man, prophecie against Gog, and say, Thus sayeth the Lord God, Behold, I come against thee, O Gog, ye chiefe prince of Meshech and Tubal.

2 Ngizakutshibilikisa, ngitshiye ingxenye yesithupha, ngikwenze wenyuke uvela emaceleni enyakatho, ngikulethe phezu kwezintaba zakoIsrayeli.

And I will destroy thee and leaue but the sixt part of thee, and will cause thee to come vp from the North partes and will bring thee vpon the mountaines of Israel:

3 Besengitshaya idandili lakho lisuke esandleni sakho sokhohlo, ngenze imitshoko yakho iwe esandleni sakho sokunene.

And I will smite thy bowe out of thy left hand, and I will cause thine arrowes to fall out of thy right hand.

4 Uzawela phezu kwezintaba zakoIsrayeli, wena, lamaviyo akho wonke, labantu abalawe. Ngizakunikela enyonini ezidla inyama, enyonini zalo lonke uphiko, lakuzilo zeganga, ube yikudla.

Thou shalt fal vpon the mountaines of Israel, and all thy bands and the people, that is with thee: for I will giue thee vnto the birdes and to euery feathered foule and beast of the fielde to be deuoured.

5 Uzawela ebusweni bomhlaba, ngoba mina ngikhulumile, itsho iNkosi uJehova.

Thou shalt fall vpon the open fielde: for I haue spoken it, sayth the Lord God.

6 Njalo ngizathumela umlilo kuMagogi, laphakathi kwabahlala ngokonwaba ezihlengeni. Khona bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.

And I will sende a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell safely in the yles, and they shall knowe that I am the Lord.

7 Njalo ngizakwenza ukuthi ibizo lami elingcwele laziwe phakathi kwabantu bami uIsrayeli; kangisayikungcolisa ibizo lami elingcwele; lezizwe zizakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi, oyiNgcwele koIsrayeli.

So will I make mine holy Name knowen in the middes of my people Israel, and I will not suffer them to pollute mine holy Name any more, and the heathen shall knowe that I am the Lord, the holy one of Israel.

8 Khangelani, sekufikile sekwenzakele, itsho iNkosi uJehova; yilo lolusuku engakhuluma ngalo.

Beholde, it is come, and it is done, sayeth the Lord God: and this is the day whereof I haue spoken.

9 Labahlali bemizi yakoIsrayeli bazaphuma, batshise baphembe umlilo ngezikhali, lezihlangu ezinkulu lamahawu, ngamadandili, langemitshoko, langezinduku zesandla, langemikhonto, baphembe umlilo ngakho iminyaka eyisikhombisa;

And they that dwell in the cities of Israel, shall goe forth, and shall burne and set fire vpon the weapons, and on the shieldes, and bucklers, vpon the bowes, and vpon the arrowes, and vpon the staues in their handes, and vpon the speares, and they shall burne them with fire seuen yeeres.

10 ukuze bangathezi izinkuni egangeni, bangagamuli emaguswini; ngoba bazaphemba umlilo ngezikhali; baphange labo ababaphangayo, bemuke ababemukayo, itsho iNkosi uJehova.

So that they shall bring no wood out of the fielde, neither cut downe any out of the forestes: for they shall burne the weapons with fire, and they shall robbe those that robbed them, and spoyle those that spoyled them, sayeth the Lord God.

11 Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku, ngiphe uGogi lapho indawo yengcwaba koIsrayeli, isihotsha sabadluli empumalanga kolwandle, esizavimbela abadluli. Lalapho bazangcwaba uGogi lexuku lakhe lonke; basibize ngokuthi yisiHotsha sexuku likaGogi.

And at the same time will I giue vnto Gog a place there for burial in Israel, euen the valley whereby men go towarde the East part of the sea: and it shall cause them that passe by, to stoppe their noses, and there shall they bury Gog with all his multitude: and they shall call it the valley of Hamon-Gog.

12 Njalo indlu yakoIsrayeli izabangcwaba, ukuze bahlambulule ilizwe, okwenyanga eziyisikhombisa.

And seuen moneths long shall the house of Israel be burying of the, that they may clense the land.

13 Yebo bonke abantu belizwe bazabangcwaba, kube libizo kubo ngosuku engizadunyiswa ngalo, itsho iNkosi uJehova.

Yea, all the people of the lande shall burie them, and they shall haue a name when I shall be glorified, saith the Lord God.

14 Njalo bazakwehlukanisa amadoda ahlezi edabula phakathi kwelizwe ukuyangcwaba, labedlulayo, labo abaseleyo ebusweni belizwe, ukuze balihlambulule. Ekupheleni kwenyanga eziyisikhombisa bazahlola.

And they shall chuse out men to goe continually through the lande with them that trauaile, to bury those that remaine vpon ye ground, and clense it: they shall search to the ende of seuen moneths.

15 Labedlulayo bazadlula phakathi kwelizwe, lapho bebona ithambo lomuntu, uzakwakha isibonakaliso phansi kwalo, baze abangcwabi balingcwabe esihotsheni sexuku likaGogi.

And the trauailers that passe through the land, if any see a mans bone, then shall he set vp a signe by it, till the buriers haue buried it, in the valley of Hamon-Gog.

16 Futhi lebizo lomuzi lizakuba yiHamona. Ngokunjalo bazahlambulula ilizwe.

And also the name of the citie shalbe Hamonah: thus shall they clense the land.

17 Wena-ke, ndodana yomuntu, itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Tshono enyonini yalo lonke uphiko, lakuyo yonke inyamazana yeganga: Zihlanganiseni, lize, libuthane livele inhlangothi zonke kumhlatshelo wami engiwuhlabele lina, umhlatshelo omkhulu phezu kwezintaba zakoIsrayeli, ukuze lidle inyama linathe igazi.

And thou sonne of man, thus sayeth the Lord God, Speake vnto euery feathered foule, and to all the beastes of the fielde, Assemble your selues, and come gather your selues on euery side to my sacrifice: for I do sacrifice a great sacrifice for you vpon the mountaines of Israel, that ye may eate flesh, and drinke blood.

18 Lizakudla inyama yamaqhawe, linathe igazi leziphathamandla zomhlaba, elezinqama, elamawundlu, lelezimbuzi, elamajongosi, konke kungokunonisiweyo kweBashani.

Ye shall eate the flesh of the valiant, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of the weathers, of the lambes, and of the goates, and of bullockes, euen of all fat beastes of Bashan.

19 Njalo lizakudla amafutha lize lisuthe, linathe igazi lize lidakwe, ngomhlatshelo wami engilihlabele wona.

And ye shall eate fat till you be full, and drinke blood, till ye be drunken of my sacrifice, which I haue sacrificed for you.

20 Ngokunjalo lizasutha etafuleni lami ngamabhiza lezinqola, ngamaqhawe, langawo wonke amadoda empi, itsho iNkosi uJehova.

Thus you shalbe filled at my table with horses and chariots, with valiant men, and with al men of warre, sayth the Lord God.

21 Njalo ngizamisa inkazimulo yami phakathi kwezizwe; lezizwe zonke zizabona isahlulelo sami engisenzileyo, lesandla sami engisibeke phezu kwabo.

And I wil set my glory among the heathe, and all the heathen shall see my iudgement, that I haue executed, and mine hand, which I haue layed vpon them.

22 Ngokunjalo abendlu kaIsrayeli bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wabo kusukela ngalolosuku kusiya phambili.

So the house of Israel shall knowe, that I am the Lord their God from that day and so forth.

23 Lezizwe zizakwazi ukuthi abendlu kaIsrayeli bathunjwa ngenxa yobubi bayo; ngenxa yokuthi baphambuka bemelene lami ngakho ngafihla ubuso bami kubo, ngabanikela esandleni sezitha zabo; ngokunjalo bonke bawa ngenkemba.

And the heathen shall knowe, that ye house of Israel went into captiuitie for their iniquitie, because they trespassed against me: therefore hid I my face from them, and gaue them into ye hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.

24 Ngabaphatha njengokokungcola kwabo lanjengokweziphambeko zabo, ngafihla ubuso bami kubo.

According to their vncleannes, and according to their transgressions haue I done vnto the, and hid my face from them.

25 Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khathesi ngizabuyisa abathunjwa bakaJakobe, ngibe lesihawu phezu kwayo yonke indlu kaIsrayeli, ngibe lobukhwele ngebizo lami elingcwele.

Therefore thus sayth the Lord God, Nowe will I bring againe the captiuitie of Iaakob, and haue compassion vpon the whole house of Israel, and wil be ielous for mine holy Name,

26 Sebethwele ihlazo labo, laso sonke isiphambeko sabo abaphambeke ngaso bemelene lami, lapho bahlala bevikelekile elizweni labo, engekho obethusayo.

After that they haue borne their shame, and all their transgression, whereby they haue transgressed against me, whe they dwelt safely in their land, and without feare of any.

27 Sengibabuyisile bevela ebantwini, ngabaqoqa bevela emazweni ezitha zabo, ngangcweliswa kubo emehlweni ezizwe ezinengi.

When I haue brought them againe from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies landes, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations,

28 Khona bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wabo, engenza ukuthi bakhokhelelwe ekuthunjweni phakathi kwezizwe; kodwa ngizabaqoqela elizweni lakibo, kangisayikutshiya lamunye wabo khona.

Then shall they know, that I am the Lord their God, which caused them to be led into captiuitie among the heathen: but I haue gathered them vnto their owne land, and haue left none of them any more there,

29 Njalo kangisayikufihla ubuso bami kubo, ngoba ngithululele umoya wami phezu kwendlu kaIsrayeli, itsho iNkosi uJehova.

Neither wil I hide my face any more from them: for I haue powred out my Spirit vpon the house of Israel, sayth the Lord God.
