Isambulo 18
1 Emva kwalezizinto-ke ngabona enye ingilosi isehla ivela ezulwini, ilamandla amakhulu; lomhlaba wakhanyiswa yikukhazimula kwayo.
MAHOPE iho o keia mau mea, ike aku au i ka anela hou e iho ana mai ka lani mai, me ka mana nui: ua hoomalamalamaia ka honua ma kona nani.
2 Yasimemeza ngamandla, ngelizwi elikhulu isithi: Iwile, iwile iBhabhiloni enkulu, isiyindawo yokuhlala amadimoni, lentolongo yawo wonke umoya ongcolileyo, lezongo layo yonke inyoni engcolileyo lezondekayo.
Hea mai la ia me ka leo nui, i mai la, Ua haule, ua haule o Babulona, ka mea nui, a ua lilo ia i wahi noho ai no na daimonio, a i wahi paa no na uhane haukae a pau, a i hale e paa ai na manu haumia a hoopailua a pau.
3 Ngoba izizwe zonke zinathe okwewayini lolaka lobufebe bayo, lamakhosi omhlaba aphingile layo, labathengisi bomhlaba banothile ngamandla okuzitika ngenotho yayo.
No ka mea, ua inu no ko na aina a pau i ka waina o ka ukiuki o kona moe kolohe ana, a ua moe kolohe pu me ia na'lii o ka honua nei, a ua waiwai loa ka poe kalepa o ka honua, no ka nui loa o kona noho lealea ana.
4 Ngasengisizwa elinye ilizwi livela ezulwini, lisithi: Phumani kuyo, bantu bami, ukuze lingahlanganyeli kanye lezono zayo, lokuze lingemukeli okwezinhlupheko zayo;
A lohe hou aku la au i kekahi leo, mai ka lani mai, e olelo ana, E ko'u poe kanaka, e hele mai oukou mawaho ona, i ole oukou e lilo i mau hoalawe pu i kona hewa, a i loaa ole ia oukou kona mau pilikia.
5 ngoba izono zayo zixhumene zize zifike ezulwini, loNkulunkulu ukhumbule ukungalungi kwayo.
No ka mea, ua hoopili aku kona hewa i ka lani, a ua hoomanao ke Akua i kona mau hala.
6 Phindiselani kuyo njengokuphindisela kwayo kini, liphinde kabili kuyo njengokwemisebenzi yayo; enkezweni eyixubanisileyo, xubanisani kiyo kabili.
E haawi aku nana, e like me kana i haawi mai ai, e hoopapalua hoi ia me na mea a pau ana i hana mai ai; me ke kiaha ana i ukuhi mai ai, malaila e ukuhi papalua aku ai nana.
7 Njengokuzidumisa kwayo okungaka, izitika enothweni, ngokunjalo kupheni yona ubuhlungu lokulila okungaka; ngoba ithi enhliziyweni yayo: Ngihlezi ngiyindlovukazi, njalo kangisuye umfelokazi, futhi kangisoze ngabona ukulila.
E like me ka nui o kona hoonani ana ia ia iho, a me kona noho ana ma ka lealea nui, pela e haawi aku ai ia ia i ka eha a me ka uwe ana: no ka mea, ua olelo oia iloko o kona naau, Ke noho nei au he aliiwahine, aole au he wahinekanemake, aole hoi au e ike i ka uwe ana.
8 Ngakho zizafika ngosuku lunye izinhlupheko zayo, ukufa lokulila lendlala, futhi izatshiswa ngomlilo; ngoba ilamandla iNkosi uNkulunkulu eyigwebayo.
Nolaila, i ka la hookahi e hiki mai ai kona mau ino, o ka make, a me ke kanikau, a me ka wi: a e puhi loa ia no hoi ia i ke ahi; no ka mea, ua ikaika loa ka Haku, ke Akua ka mea e hoopai ana ia ia.
9 Lamakhosi omhlaba aphinga layo ezitika enothweni azayikhalela alile ngenxa yayo, lapho ebona intuthu yokutsha kwayo,
A o na'lii o ka honua, ka poe i moe kolohe me ia, a i noho pu me ka pakela lealea, e uwe lakou a e kanikau ia ia, i ka wa a lakou e ike aku ai i ka uahi o kona aa ana;
10 esima khatshana ngokwesaba kobuhlungu bayo, esithi: Maye, maye, umuzi omkhulu, iBhabhiloni, umuzi olamandla, ngoba ngehola elilodwa isigwebo sakho sifikile!
E ku no lakou ma kahi loihi e aku no ka makau i kona eha, me ka olelo iho, Auwe, auwe, o kela kulanakauhale nui, o Babulona, ke kulanakauhale ikaika! no ka mea, i ka hora hookahi, ua hiki mai kou hoopai ana.
11 Labathengisi bomhlaba bazayikhalela bayililele, ngoba kakulamuntu othenga impahla yabo futhi;
A e uwe no hoi ka poe kalepa o ka honua, a e kanikau ia ia; no ka mea, aole e kuai hou aku kekahi i ko lakou waiwai.
12 impahla yegolide, leyesiliva, leyelitshe eliligugu, leyepharele, leyelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu, leyibubende, leyesilika, leyokubomvu; laso sonke isihlahla esilephunga, laso sonke isitsha sempondo zendlovu, laso sonke isitsha sesihlahla esiligugu elikhulukazi, leyethusi, leyensimbi, leyelitshe elimhlophe;
O ka waiwai, o ke gula, a me ke kala, a me na pohaku maikai, a me na momi, a me ka palule makalii, a me ka lole makue, a me ka lole pahee a me ka ula, a me na laau ala a pau, a me na ipu nihoelepane a pau, a me na ipu laau maikai a pau, a me ke keleawe, a me ka hao, a me ka pohaku keokeo,
13 lekinamoni, lokulephunga elimnandi, lenhlaka, lempepha, lewayini, lamafutha, lempuphu ecolekileyo, lengqoloyi, lezifuyo, lezimvu, lamabhiza, lezinqola, lemizimba, lemiphefumulo yabantu.
A me ke kinamona, a me na mea ala, a me ka mura, a me ka libano, a me ka waina, a me ka aila, a me ka palaoa aiai, a me ka hua palaoa, a me na holoholona, a me na hipa, a me na lio, a me na halekaa, a me na kino, a me na uhaue o kanaka.
14 Lezithelo zesifiso somphefumulo wakho zisukile kuwe, lazo zonke izinto ezinonileyo lezikhazimulayo zisukile kuwe, kawusoze ubuye uzithole.
A o na hua a kou naau i kuko ai, ua lilo ia mai ou aku, a ua lilo no hoi na mea momona a pau, a me na mea hanohano, aole loa e loaa ia oe ua mau mea la.
15 Abathengisi balezizinto, abanothe ngayo, bazakuma khatshana ngokwesabeka kobuhlungu bayo, bekhala belila,
O ka poe i kuai ia mau mea, a loaa ko lakou waiwai malaila, e ku loihi e aku lakou no ka makau i kona eha, a e uwe no hoi lakou me ke kanikau;
16 njalo besithi: Maye, maye, lo umuzi omkhulu, owawembathiswe ngelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu lokuyibubende lokubomvu, uceciswe ngegolide lelitshe eliligugu lamapharele!
A e olelo mai hoi, Auwe, auwe, kela kulanakauhale nui, i aahuia i ka ie nani, a me ka lole makue, a me ka lole pahee, a i hoonaniia i ke gula, a me ka pohaku maikai, a me na momi!
17 Ngoba ngehola elilodwa inotho engaka ichithiwe. Layo yonke induna yomkhumbi, lalo lonke ixuku emikhunjini, labomkhumbi, labo bonke abasebenza olwandle bema khatshana,
No ka mea, i ka hora hookahi, ua lilo keia waiwai nui, i mea ole. A o na alii moku a pau, a me na mea a pau ma na moku, a me na luina, a me ka poe a pau i kalepa ma ka moana, ku aku la lakou ma kahi loihi e aku;
18 basebekhala bebona intuthu yokutsha kwayo, besithi: Yiwuphi ofanana lawo umuzi omkhulu?
A ike lakou i ka uahi o kona aa ana, hea aku la lakou, i aku la, Heaha ka mea like me keia kulanakauhale nui!
19 Basebethela uthuli emakhanda abo, bememeza bekhala belila, besithi: Maye, maye, umuzi omkhulu, khona lapho bonke ababelemikhumbi olwandle banothe ngawo ngenotho yawo; ngoba ngehola elilodwa uchithiwe!
A hoolei lakou i ka lepo maluna iho o ko lakou poo, a hea aku la me ka uwe a me ke kanikau, i aku la, Auwe, auwe, o ke kulanakauhale nui, kahi i waiwai ai ka poe mea moku a pau loa ma ka moana, no kona pakela maikai! no ka mea, i ka hora hookahi, ua hooliloia oia i mea ole.
20 Thokoza ngawo, zulu, lani baphostoli abangcwele labaprofethi; ngoba uNkulunkulu ugwebe isigwebo senu kuwo.
E ka lani, e hauoli oe maluna ona, o oukou hoi, e ka poe lunaolelo hemolele, a me na kaula, no ka mea, ua hoohewa ke Akua ia ia no oukou.
21 Lengilosi eyamandla yaphakamisa ilitshe elinjengelitshe lokuchola elikhulu, yasiliphosela olwandle, isithi: Ngokunjalo ngodlakela iBhabhiloni umuzi omkhulu izaphoswa, njalo ingabe isaficwa lakanye.
Lawe iho la kekahi anela ikaika i ka pohaku, me he pohaku kaapalaoa nui la, a kiola aku la i ke kai, i aku la, Pela e kiola ikaika ia'ku ai o Babulona, ke kulanakauhale nui, aole hoi e loaa hou aku.
22 Lomsindo wabatshaya amachacho lowabahlabeleli lowabatshaya imihlanga lowabatshaya izimpondo, kawusoze uphinde uzwakale phakathi kwakho, layo yonke ingcwethi loba eyawuphi umunwe kayisayikuficwa phakathi kwakho lakanye, lomsindo welitshe lokuchola kawusoze uphinde uzwakale phakathi kwakho,
Aole hoi e lohe hou ia maloko ou ka leo o ka poe hookanikani, a me ka poe himeni, a me ka poe hokiokio a me ka poe puhi pu; aole hoi e loaa hou aku maloko ou kekahi kahuna o kekahi hana; aole no hoi e lohe hou ia iloko ou ka halulu ana o ka pohaku kaapalaoa;
23 lokukhanya kwesibane kakusoze kusakhanya phakathi kwakho, lelizwi lomyeni lomakoti kalisayikuzwakala phakathi kwakho lakanye; ngoba abathengisi bakho bebeyizikhulu zomhlaba; ngoba ngokuthakatha kwakho izizwe zonke zikhohlisiwe,
Aole e ike hou ia iloko ou ka malamalama o ke kukui; aole e lohe hou ia iloko ou ka leo o ke kane mare a me ka wahine mare; no ka mea, o kou poe kalepa, he poe hanohano lakou o ka honua; no ka mea, ua puni wale ko na aina a pau i kou kilokilo ana.
24 futhi kuyo kwaficwa igazi labaprofethi lelabangcwele, lelabo bonke ababebulewe emhlabeni.
Maloko ona i loaa'i ke koko o na kaula, a me ka poe haipule, a me na mea a pau i pepehiia ma ka honua nei.
