Isambulo 18
1 Emva kwalezizinto-ke ngabona enye ingilosi isehla ivela ezulwini, ilamandla amakhulu; lomhlaba wakhanyiswa yikukhazimula kwayo.
Masigi matungda atoppa swargadut ama swargadagi kumtharakpa eina ure. Mahak matik yamna leirammi, amasung mahakki matik mangalna malem pumba ngallammi.
2 Yasimemeza ngamandla, ngelizwi elikhulu isithi: Iwile, iwile iBhabhiloni enkulu, isiyindawo yokuhlala amadimoni, lentolongo yawo wonke umoya ongcolileyo, lezongo layo yonke inyoni engcolileyo lezondekayo.
Aduga mahakna ahouba khonjelda laorak-i: “Mahak ture! Achouba Babylon ture! Mahak houjikti lai phattabasing amadi sengdaba thawaisinggi kaidongpham oire, aduga amotpa makhal pumnamakna amadi tukkachaningai oiraba ucheksingna mangonda leire.
3 Ngoba izizwe zonke zinathe okwewayini lolaka lobufebe bayo, lamakhosi omhlaba aphingile layo, labathengisi bomhlaba banothile ngamandla okuzitika ngenotho yayo.
Maramdi phurup pumnamakna mahakki yu haibadi mahakki nupa nupi lannabagi akanba yu adu thakle. Malemgi ningthousingna mahakka loinana nupa nupi lannabagi oktaba thabak toure, taibangpanbagi lalonbasingna mahakki laksinba ngamdraba nungainingbagi apamba adudagi inak khullakle.”
4 Ngasengisizwa elinye ilizwi livela ezulwini, lisithi: Phumani kuyo, bantu bami, ukuze lingahlanganyeli kanye lezono zayo, lokuze lingemukeli okwezinhlupheko zayo;
Adudagi eina swargadagi atoppa khonjel amana asumna haiba tare: “Thoraklo, eigi misa, mangondagi thoraklo! Nakhoina mahakki papka saruk phangminnadasanu; Nakhoina mahakki cheirakta saruk phangminnadasanu!
5 ngoba izono zayo zixhumene zize zifike ezulwini, loNkulunkulu ukhumbule ukungalungi kwayo.
Maramdi mahakki papsing adu swarga youna peikhatle, Aduga Tengban Mapuna magi phattraba lambising adubu ningsingle.
6 Phindiselani kuyo njengokuphindisela kwayo kini, liphinde kabili kuyo njengokwemisebenzi yayo; enkezweni eyixubanisileyo, xubanisani kiyo kabili.
Mahakna pikhiba adumak mangondasu handuna piyu; Mahakna toukhiba pumnamak adugi saruk ani mangonda hallu. Mahakna nahakki thaknanaba thourang toukhiba adudagi, saruk ani henna kanba thaknaba aduna mahakki tenggot adu thalhallu.
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.
Mahak masana masada matik mangal amadi ake amou pijakhiba adugumna, adukki matik awaba amadi awa meichak mangonda piyu. Maramdi mahakna mathamoida napal toujakhi, ‘Eina maphamsida leimarembi oina phamli! Eidi lukhrabi natte, Eina keidounungda awaba khangloi!’
8 Ngakho zizafika ngosuku lunye izinhlupheko zayo, ukufa lokulila lendlala, futhi izatshiswa ngomlilo; ngoba ilamandla iNkosi uNkulunkulu eyigwebayo.
Maram asimakna, mahakpu nongmakhaktada awa anasing asina yeithugani, madudi laina laithung, awaba, amadi chak tangba nanggani. Aduga mahakpu meida chakhangani, maramdi mahakpu wayelliba Tengban Mapu Ibungo adu matik leibani.”
9 Lamakhosi omhlaba aphinga layo ezitika enothweni azayikhalela alile ngenxa yayo, lapho ebona intuthu yokutsha kwayo,
Mahakka loinana nupa nupi lannabagi thabak touminnakhiba amadi mahakki ake amouda saruk phangminnakhiba malemgi ningthousingna mahakpu meina chakpagi meikhu adu uba matamda makhoina mahakkidamak kapkani amasung tengtha naowoigani.
10 esima khatshana ngokwesaba kobuhlungu bayo, esithi: Maye, maye, umuzi omkhulu, iBhabhiloni, umuzi olamandla, ngoba ngehola elilodwa isigwebo sakho sifikile!
Mahakki awa meichak aduda kiraduna makhoina lapna leptuna haigani: “Awabanida! Naphamda awabanida, achouba sahar, matik leiba Babylon sahar nahakti! Pung amakhakki manungda nahakki wayel adu lakle.”
11 Labathengisi bomhlaba bazayikhalela bayililele, ngoba kakulamuntu othenga impahla yabo futhi;
Malemgi lalonbasingsu magidamak kapkani amasung tengthagani, maramdi mi kana amatana makhoigi lalonpotsing adu makha tana leibidre;
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;
Kana amatana makhoigi sana, lupa, mamal yamba nung, mani mukta, makhoigi mamal yamba linengi phising, mangra machugi phi, muga, ngangsang ngangba phi; atangba u makhal pumnamak, amadi samu mayana, mamal tangba u-na, pithrai, yot amadi marblena saba makhal khudingmakki potsing leibidre,
13 lekinamoni, lokulephunga elimnandi, lenhlaka, lempepha, lewayini, lamafutha, lempuphu ecolekileyo, lengqoloyi, lezifuyo, lezimvu, lamabhiza, lezinqola, lemizimba, lemiphefumulo yabantu.
aduga usingsa, maru marang, mengkruk, myrrh amadi kunduru, yu, chorphongi thao, yam amadi gehu, sa-san amadi yao, sagol amadi sagol gari, minai oina yolliba mioibabu leibidre.
14 Lezithelo zesifiso somphefumulo wakho zisukile kuwe, lazo zonke izinto ezinonileyo lezikhazimulayo zisukile kuwe, kawusoze ubuye uzithole.
Lalonbasing aduna mangonda hai, “Nahakki oiba paamjaramba aphaba pot pumnamaksu mangkhre, amasung nahakki lanthum pumba amadi sumhatningai oina phajaba pumnamak mangkhre, aduga nahakna keidounungda makhoibu amuk hanna phangba ngamlaroi!”
15 Abathengisi balezizinto, abanothe ngayo, bazakuma khatshana ngokwesabeka kobuhlungu bayo, bekhala belila,
Sahar aduda lalon itik touduna inak-khunba oikhraba lalonbasing aduna yamna lapna lepkani, maramdi makhoina mahakki awa ana khaangba adu saruk yaminnaba kirammi. Makhoina kapkani amasung tengthagani,
16 njalo besithi: Maye, maye, lo umuzi omkhulu, owawembathiswe ngelembu elicolekileyo kakhulu lokuyibubende lokubomvu, uceciswe ngegolide lelitshe eliligugu lamapharele!
aduga haigani, Awabanida! Achouba sahar, nahakti awabanida, ananba linen phi, mangra machu amasung ngangsang ngangba phi setpi, amadi sanagi leitengsing, mamal yamba nung amasung mani muktana leitengbi!
17 Ngoba ngehola elilodwa inotho engaka ichithiwe. Layo yonke induna yomkhumbi, lalo lonke ixuku emikhunjini, labomkhumbi, labo bonke abasebenza olwandle bema khatshana,
Aduga pung amagi manungda lanthum pumnamaksing asi mahakna mangle! Hi chingliba luchingba pumnamak amadi hi tonglibasing, hiroising amadi samudrada makhoigi hingnabagi sel talliba atei pumnamaksing aduna yamna lapna leplammi.
18 basebekhala bebona intuthu yokutsha kwayo, besithi: Yiwuphi ofanana lawo umuzi omkhulu?
Aduga mahakpu meina chakpagi meikhu adu makhoina ubada, makhoina laorak-i, “Masigi achouba sahar asiga mannaba sahar ama keidoungeida leikhidri”
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!
Makhoina makhoigi makokta uphul chaikhatkani, aduga kaptuna amadi tengthaduna haigani: “Awabanida! Nangdi awabanida, mahakki maran mathumgi mapanna samudrada leiriba higi mapu pumnamakna inak khunba oirakkhiba achouba sahar! Pung amagi manungda mahakti pumang mangledo!”
20 Thokoza ngawo, zulu, lani baphostoli abangcwele labaprofethi; ngoba uNkulunkulu ugwebe isigwebo senu kuwo.
Mahakki maramna haraojaro, he swarga! Haraojaro, Tengban Mapugi mising nakhoi! Haraojaro, pakhonchatpasing amadi Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpasing! Maramdi mahakna nakhoida toukhiba wayel aduna Tengban Mapuna mahakpu wayelle!
21 Lengilosi eyamandla yaphakamisa ilitshe elinjengelitshe lokuchola elikhulu, yasiliphosela olwandle, isithi: Ngokunjalo ngodlakela iBhabhiloni umuzi omkhulu izaphoswa, njalo ingabe isaficwa lakanye.
Adudagi matik leiba swargadut amana achouba chakri nungmuk chaoba nungjao ama loukhatlaga samudrada langthaduna hairak-i, “Asigumba akanba saphu asiga loinana achouba sahar Babylon-bu hunthagani, aduga amuk hanna uba khak phanglaroi.”
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,
Nangondagi binagi khonjel, mioibagi khonjel, basi amadi peresingga khongbasinggi khonjel amuk hanna keidounungda tararoi. Sinpham amatadagi sinmi amata nangonda keidounungda amuk phanglaroi; aduga chakkrigi makhol amuk hanna taba phanglaroi!
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,
Thaomeigi mangal amuk hanna keidounungda nangonda uba phanglaroi; nagondagi bor amadi keinyagi khonjel taba phanglaroi. Nahakki lalonbasingdi taibangpan apumbada khwaidagi henna matik leibasingni, aduga nahakki aranba hidam yaidamba adugi mapanna taibangpanbagi mi pumnamakpu lounam toukhi.
24 futhi kuyo kwaficwa igazi labaprofethi lelabangcwele, lelabo bonke ababebulewe emhlabeni.
Babylon-bu cheirak pikhi maramdi Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpasing amadi Tengban Mapugi misinggi ee sahar asida phangkhi; hoi, malemda hatkhiba makhoi pumnamkki ee aduni.
