Isambulo 18
1 Emva kwalezizinto-ke ngabona enye ingilosi isehla ivela ezulwini, ilamandla amakhulu; lomhlaba wakhanyiswa yikukhazimula kwayo.
Anazama fore'ma hutegeno, mago monafinti tusi'a hanave eri'nea ankeromo'a eneramige'na kogeno, masa'amo'a mopafina remsa hu'ne.
2 Yasimemeza ngamandla, ngelizwi elikhulu isithi: Iwile, iwile iBhabhiloni enkulu, isiyindawo yokuhlala amadimoni, lentolongo yawo wonke umoya ongcolileyo, lezongo layo yonke inyoni engcolileyo lezondekayo.
Hanki agra hanavege huno, tusi'a Babiloni kuma'mo'a evuramie, evuramie! Ana a'mo'a havi hankromo'za mani kuma tro nehigeno, maka agru osu avamu tami'mo'za kina hanaza kuma fore nehuno, maka agru osu nama zagamo'za mani'naza kuma fore nehuno, agru osu afi zagamo'za mani'naza kuma fore hu'ne.
3 Ngoba izizwe zonke zinathe okwewayini lolaka lobufebe bayo, lamakhosi omhlaba aphingile layo, labathengisi bomhlaba banothile ngamandla okuzitika ngenotho yayo.
Na'ankure maka kumatamimpi vahe'mo'za monko avu'avazama'a, waini tima neaza hu'za kapu'afinti nene'za, negi ne'nazage'za mopafi kini vahe'mo'za ana a'ene monko avu'avaza nehazage'za, ama mopafi vahe'mo'za, ana a'mofo monko avu'avazama'areti tusi'a feno (bisinisi) vahera tro hu'za mani'naze.
4 Ngasengisizwa elinye ilizwi livela ezulwini, lisithi: Phumani kuyo, bantu bami, ukuze lingahlanganyeli kanye lezono zayo, lokuze lingemukeli okwezinhlupheko zayo;
Ana hutege'na mago ageru monafinti arige'na antahugeno, anage hu'ne, Vahe'nimoka ana ara atrenka atineraminka, kumira ana a'enena nehunka agranena knazama'a e'orio.
5 ngoba izono zayo zixhumene zize zifike ezulwini, loNkulunkulu ukhumbule ukungalungi kwayo.
Na'ankure ana a'mofo kumi'mo'a, aviteno monafi marerigeno, Anumzamo'a ana a'mofo havi avu'avazama'amofona agesa antahi'ne.
6 Phindiselani kuyo njengokuphindisela kwayo kini, liphinde kabili kuyo njengokwemisebenzi yayo; enkezweni eyixubanisileyo, xubanisani kiyo kabili.
Ruga'amokizmima huzmante'nea kante antenka ana ara nona hunentenka, avu'avazama hu'nea kante antenka, mago'ene erinteguhenka nona'a hunentenka, ana a'mo'ma waini tima eri havia hu'nea kapufi mago'ane eriante aguhenka erihavia humio.
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.
Ana a'mo'a, agra'a agi erisaga nehuno, rama'a monko avu'avaza nehuno, ruga'a havi avu'ava zana hu'ne. Anama hu'nea havi avu'avazama'amofo avamente atazana aminkeno, rama'a zavi ateno. Na'ankure agra'agura anage nehie, kuini mani'na, kuini trate mani'noankina, kento a' knara osu'na, zavira otegahue hu'ne.
8 Ngakho zizafika ngosuku lunye izinhlupheko zayo, ukufa lokulila lendlala, futhi izatshiswa ngomlilo; ngoba ilamandla iNkosi uNkulunkulu eyigwebayo.
E'ina hu'negu magoke zagefi, knazana enerino, kria enerino, zavira netena, tusi'a agate'za agritera fore nehina, agrira (Babilonia) tevemo'a te fanane hugahie. Na'ankure tusi'a hanave'ane Ra Anumzamo, agrira refko hu'neankino haviza hugahie.
9 Lamakhosi omhlaba aphinga layo ezitika enothweni azayikhalela alile ngenxa yayo, lapho ebona intuthu yokutsha kwayo,
Ama mopafi kini vahe'mo'za, ana a'enema havi avu'avaza nehu'za, ana havi avu'avazampi agrane knare huta mani'none nehaza vahe'mo'zama, ana a'ma terasagesia teve tokimo'ma marerisige'za negenu'za, krafa hu'za zavira atentegahaze.
10 esima khatshana ngokwesaba kobuhlungu bayo, esithi: Maye, maye, umuzi omkhulu, iBhabhiloni, umuzi olamandla, ngoba ngehola elilodwa isigwebo sakho sifikile!
Ana a'ma azeri haviza haniazanku kore hu'za afete oti'ne'za anage hugahaze, tasunku hune tasunku hune, Babiloni hanave rankumakura na'ankure magoke knafi haviza hie.
11 Labathengisi bomhlaba bazayikhalela bayililele, ngoba kakulamuntu othenga impahla yabo futhi;
Mopafi vahe'mo'za zagonu mizaseza zagore netraza naga'mo'za (bisinisi) ana a'mo'ma havizama hiazanku zavite'naze. Na'ankure vahe'mo'za fenozazmi magoane miza osegahaze.
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;

14 Lezithelo zesifiso somphefumulo wakho zisukile kuwe, lazo zonke izinto ezinonileyo lezikhazimulayo zisukile kuwe, kawusoze ubuye uzithole.
Hu'za nehu'za ana vahe'mo'za amanage hugahaze, Babiloni kuma'moka knare'zama erifore'ma nehana zanku'ma kvenesiazane, marerisa nomanizama nemaninazamo'a kagripintira fanane hiankiza, vahe'mo'za ana knare'zanka'a onkegahaze.
15 Abathengisi balezizinto, abanothe ngayo, bazakuma khatshana ngokwesabeka kobuhlungu bayo, bekhala belila,
Ana a'mofonte'ma zagore atre'za ra zagoma tro'ma huza feno vahe'ma nesaza vahe'mo'za, afete'are otiza manigahaze. Na'ankure ana a'mo'ma atama eri'neazanku kore nehu'za zavira nete'za,
16 njalo besithi: Maye, maye, lo umuzi omkhulu, owawembathiswe ngelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu lokuyibubende lokubomvu, uceciswe ngegolide lelitshe eliligugu lamapharele!
anage hu'za, Tasunku hune, tasunku hune, knare ran kuma ana a'mo'a knare zaza efeke kukena nehuno, fitunke'ene koranke'ene, avasesezama golireti'ene, marerisa havereti'ene, periema (pearls) nehaza zane, eri hankre'neane,
17 Ngoba ngehola elilodwa inotho engaka ichithiwe. Layo yonke induna yomkhumbi, lalo lonke ixuku emikhunjini, labomkhumbi, labo bonke abasebenza olwandle bema khatshana,
na'ankure tusi'a fenomo'a mago auafi amnezankna hie! Ana higeno maka ventemofo azerino (kepten) nevia vahe'mo'zane, ventefi maniza nevaza vahe'mo'zane, ventefi eri'za vahe'mo'zane, hagerimpi zantetima zagoma eri'za nomanizama retro'ma hu'za nemaniza vahe'mo'za, afete oti'za mani'neza,
18 basebekhala bebona intuthu yokutsha kwayo, besithi: Yiwuphi ofanana lawo umuzi omkhulu?
ana a'mofoma tegasagea teve tokima nege'za, zavira nete'za anage hu'za, Ina rankuma'mo amanahu rankumakna hugahie? hu'za hu'naze.
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!
Hagi ana nehu'za kugusopa kate'za zamanunte netreza ranke hu'za, zavi krafa, nehu'za anage hu'naze, Tasunku hune tasunku hune rankumamofonkura, maka feno vahe'mo'za ventema antene'za ana a'mofompintima feno vahe'ma nemaniza zamo'a magoke auafina ana maka fenomo haviza hie.
20 Thokoza ngawo, zulu, lani baphostoli abangcwele labaprofethi; ngoba uNkulunkulu ugwebe isigwebo senu kuwo.
Monamokane, Anumzamofo naga'motane, aposol naga'motane, kasnampa naga'motanena muse hiho, na'ankure ana a'mo'ma tamagri'ma tami'nea knazantera Anumzamo'a refko huno mizama'a nona huno nemie.
21 Lengilosi eyamandla yaphakamisa ilitshe elinjengelitshe lokuchola elikhulu, yasiliphosela olwandle, isithi: Ngokunjalo ngodlakela iBhabhiloni umuzi omkhulu izaphoswa, njalo ingabe isaficwa lakanye.
Anantera tusi hanavenentake ankeromo, witi refuzafu nepeankna ra have erino hagerimpi matevu netreno anage hu'ne, Havema atreankna huno Babiloni rankumara azeri haviza hugahiankita, mago'ene onkegahu'ne
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,
Ana kumara fanane hinkeno, zavenama ahe vahe'ene konkene ufene, zavenagna musikima nehaza (harp) vahe'mo'za mago'ane nehesagenka ontahigahane. Keonke'zama tro'mahu vahe'mo'za mago'ane trora osanageno, witi akaruma hare'naza agerura ontahigahane.
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,
Hagi ramumofo masa'a mo mago'ane remsa huogantesigeno, a'ma eriku'ma hania ne'ene, vema eriku'ma hana'a zanagasasankea ontahigahane. Na'ankure kagri vahe'mo'za zagonu mizaseza zagore netraza naga'mo'za (bisinisi) maka mopafi vahe'mofo avurera ra vahe mani'nazangi, maka mopafi vahera kagra avuatga zankareti rezmataga hu'nane.
24 futhi kuyo kwaficwa igazi labaprofethi lelabangcwele, lelabo bonke ababebulewe emhlabeni.
Hagi ana a'mofompina kasnampa vahe'ene, Anumzamofo naga'ene maka ama mopafima Anumzamofo amage nentazageno zamahe'nea vahe'mokizmi koramo me'nege'za ke'naze.
