UHezekheli 7
1 Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kimi lisithi:
Moreover the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
2 Wena-ke, ndodana yomuntu, itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova kulo ilizwe lakoIsrayeli: Isiphetho, isiphetho sesifikile phezu kwamagumbi womane elizwe.
Also thou sonne of man, thus saith the Lord God, An ende is come vnto the lande of Israel: the ende is come vpon the foure corners of the lande.
3 Khathesi isiphetho siphezu kwakho, njalo ngizathumela ukuthukuthela kwami phakathi kwakho, ngikwahlulele njengokwezenzo zakho, ngehlisele phezu kwakho wonke amanyala akho.
Nowe is the ende come vpon thee, and I wil sende my wrath vpon thee, and will iudge thee according to thy wayes, and will laye vpon thee all thine abominations.
4 Lelihlo lami kaliyikukuhawukela, kangiyikuyekela, kodwa ngizakwehlisela izindlela zakho phezu kwakho, lamanyala akho azakuba phakathi kwakho. Khona lizakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.
Neither shall mine eye spare thee, neither will I haue pitie: but I will laye thy waies vpon thee: and thine abomination shall bee in the middes of thee, and yee shall knowe that I am the Lord.
5 Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ububi, ububi obubodwa, khangela, sebufikile.
Thus saith the Lord God, Beholde, one euil, euen one euill is come.
6 Isiphetho sesifikile, isiphetho sesifikile, siyakuvukela; khangela, sesifikile.
An ende is come, the end is come, it watched for thee: beholde, it is come.
7 Ukusa sekufikile kuwe, wena mhlali welizwe; isikhathi sesifikile, usuku lwenkathazo luseduze, njalo kungeyisikho ukumemeza ngenjabulo kwezintaba.
The morning is come vnto thee, that dwellest in the lande: the time is come, the day of trouble is neere, and not the sounding againe of the mountaines.
8 Khathesi, kuseduze ukuthi ngithululele ulaka lwami phezu kwakho, ngiphelelise intukuthelo yami phakathi kwakho, ngikwahlulele njengokwezindlela zakho, ngehlisele phezu kwakho wonke amanyala akho.
Now I will shortly powre out my wrath vpon thee, and fulfil mine anger vpon thee: I will iudge thee according to thy wayes, and will lay vpon thee all thine abominations.
9 Lelihlo lami kaliyikuhawukela, njalo kangiyikuyekela; ngizanika njengokwezindlela zakho phezu kwakho, lamanyala akho azakuba phakathi kwakho. Khona lizakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi etshayayo.
Neither shall mine eie spare thee, neither will I haue pitie, but I will laye vpon thee according to thy wayes, and thine abominations shalbe in the middes of thee, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lord that smiteth.
10 Khangela usuku, khangela, selufikile; ukusa sekuphumile; intonga ihlumile, ukuziqhenya kukhahlele.
Beholde, the day, beholde, it is come: the morning is gone forth, the rod florisheth: pride hath budded.
11 Udlakela lusukume lwaba yintonga yobubi; kakuyikusala kubo, hatshi-ke exukwini labo, hatshi-ke okwabo, njalo kakuyikuba khona ukuqhinqa isililo phakathi kwabo.
Crueltie is risen vp into a rod of wickednes: none of them shall remaine, nor of their riches, nor of any of theirs, neither shall there bee lamentation for them.
12 Isikhathi sesifikile, usuku selusondele; umthengi kangathokozi, lomthengisi angalili, ngoba ulaka luphezu kwexuku lonke lalo.
The time is come, the day draweth neere: let not the byer reioyce, nor let him that selleth, mourne: for the wrath is vpon al the multitude thereof.
13 Ngoba umthengisi kayikubuyela kokuthengisiweyo, lanxa impilo yabo isesephakathi kwabaphilayo; ngoba umbono mayelana lexuku lonke lalo kawuyikuphenduka; futhi kakulamuntu ongaqinisa impilo yakhe ngesiphambeko sakhe.
For hee that selleth, shall not returne to that which is solde, although they were yet aliue: for the vision was vnto al the multitude thereof, and they returned not, neither doeth any encourage himselfe in the punishment of his life.
14 Baluvuthele uphondo ukuthi balungise konke, kodwa kakho oya empini, ngoba ulaka lwami luphezu kwexuku lalo lonke.
They haue blowen the trumpet, and prepared all, but none goeth to the battel: for my wrath is vpon all the multitude thereof.
15 Inkemba ingaphandle, lomatshayabhuqe wesifo lendlala kungaphakathi; osegangeni uzakufa ngenkemba, losemzini indlala lomatshayabhuqe wesifo kuzamqeda.
The sword is without, and the pestilence, and the famine within: he that is in the field, shall dye with the sword, and he that is in the citie, famine and pestilence shall deuoure him.
16 Kodwa abaphunyukayo babo bazaphunyuka, babe sezintabeni njengamajuba ezihotsha, bonke belila, ngulowo lalowo ngenxa yesiphambeko sakhe.
But they that flee away from them, shall escape, and shalbe in the mountaines, like the doues of the valleis: all they shall mourne, euery one for his iniquitie.
17 Zonke izandla zizaphela amandla, lamadolo wonke ageleze njengamanzi.
All handes shalbe weake, and all knees shall fall away as water.
18 Njalo bazabhinca amasaka, lovalo luzabembesa, lenhloni zibe sebusweni bonke, lempabanga phezu kwamakhanda abo wonke.
They shall also girde them selues with sackecloth, and feare shall couer them, and shame shalbe vpon all faces, and baldnes vpon their heads.
19 Bazalahla isiliva sabo ezitaladeni, legolide labo libe yikungcola; isiliva sabo legolide labo kakuyikuba lakho ukubophula ngosuku lokuthukuthela kweNkosi; kabayikonelisa umphefumulo wabo, bangagcwalisi amathumbu abo; ngoba kuyisikhubekiso sesiphambeko sabo.
They shall cast their siluer in the streetes, and their golde shalbe cast farre off: their siluer and their gold can not deliuer them in the day of the wrath of the Lord: they shall not satisfie their soules, neither fill their bowels: for this ruine is for their iniquitie.
20 Lobuhle besiceciso sakhe wabumisa ebukhosini, kodwa benza kubo imifanekiso yokunengekayo kwabo lezinengiso zabo; ngenxa yalokho ngibumise bube yinto engcolileyo kubo.
He had also set the beautie of his ornament in maiestie: but they made images of their abominations, and of their idoles therein: therefore haue I set it farre from them.
21 Njalo ngizakunikela esandleni sabezizwe kube yimpango, lakwabakhohlakeleyo bomhlaba kube yimpango, njalo bazakungcolisa.
And I will giue it into the handes of the strangers to be spoyled, and to the wicked of the earth to be robbed, and they shall pollute it.
22 Njalo ngizaphendula ubuso bami busuke kubo, bangcolise indawo yami yensitha; ngoba abaphangi bazangena kuyo, bayingcolise.
My face will I turne also from them, and they shall pollute my secret place: for the destroyers shall enter into it, and defile it.
23 Yenza iketane, ngoba ilizwe ligcwele amacala egazi, lomuzi ugcwele udlakela.
Make a chaine: for the lande is full of the iudgement of blood, and the citie is full of crueltie.
24 Ngakho ngizaletha ababi bezizwe, abazakudla ilifa lezindlu zabo; ngikwenze kuphele ukuziqhenya kwabalamandla; lendawo zabo ezingcwele zizangcoliswa.
Wherefore I will bring the most wicked of the heathen, and they shall possesse their houses: I will also make the pompe of the mightie to cease, and their holie places shalbe defiled.
25 Ukwethuka kuyeza; bazadinga-ke ukuthula, kodwa kakuyikuba khona.
When destruction commeth, they shall seeke peace, and shall not haue it.
26 Incithakalo izakuza phezu kwencithakalo, lombiko ube phezu kombiko; khona bezadinga umbono kumprofethi, kodwa umlayo uzabhubha kumpristi, leseluleko kubadala.
Calamitie shall come vpon calamitie, and rumour shall bee vpon rumour: then shall they seeke a vision of the Prophet: but the Lawe shall perish from the Priest, and counsel from the Ancient.
27 Inkosi izalila, lesiphathamandla sembathiswe incithakalo, lezandla zabantu belizwe zizathuthumela. Ngizakwenza kubo ngokwendlela yabo, ngibahlulele ngezahlulelo zabo; khona bezakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.
The King shall mourne, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the handes of the people in the land shall be troubled: I wil doe vnto them according to their waies, and according to their iudgements will I iudge them, and they shall knowe that I am the Lord.
