UHezekhiyeli 32 - Ndebele Contemporary Bible 2022

Ukulilela UFaro

1Ngomnyaka wetshumi lambili, ngenyanga yetshumi lambili ngosuku lokuqala, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:

2“Ndodana yomuntu, khala isililo ngoFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe uthi kuye:

‘Wena unjengesilwane phakathi kwezizwe;

unjengesilo phakathi kolwandle,

uvubavuba amanzi ezifuleni zakho,

uchaphaze amanzi ngezinyawo zakho,

ungcolisa lezifula ngodaka.

3Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi:

Ngoquqaba olukhulu lwabantu

ngizaphosela imbule lami phezu kwakho

njalo bazakudonsela phezulu ngomambule wami.

4Ngizakuphosela emhlabathini

ngikudonsele egcekeni egangeni.

Ngizakwenza zonke izinyoni zasemoyeni zihlale phezu kwakho

lezinyamazana zonke zasemhlabeni zizitike kuwe.

5Ngizachaya inyama yakho phezu kwezintaba

njalo ngigcwalise izigodi ngezidumbu zakho.

6Ngizathambisa ilizwe ngegazi lakho

eligeleza indawo yonke kusiya ezintabeni,

lezindonga zizagcwala inyama yakho.

7Lapho sengikucitsha, ngizakwembesa amazulu

ngenze izinkanyezi zawo zibe mnyama;

ngizakwembesa ilanga ngeyezi,

lenyanga ingabe isakhanyisa.

8Zonke izibane ezikhanyisa emazulwini

ngizazenza zibe mnyama

elizweni lakho, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.

9Ngizakhathaza inhliziyo zabantu abanengi

lapho sengiletha ukuchithwa kwakho phakathi kwezizwe,

phakathi kwamazwe ongazange uwazi.

10Ngizakwenza abantu abanengi bamangale ngawe,

lamakhosi abo azathuthumela ngokwesaba ngenxa yakho

lapho nginyikinya inkemba yami phambi kwawo.

Ngosuku lokuwa kwakho

lowo lalowo wabo uzaqhaqhazela

isikhathi sonke sokuphila kwakhe.

11Ngoba nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi:

Inkemba yenkosi yaseBhabhiloni

izamelana lawe.

12Ngizakwenza amaxuku akho abulawe

ngezinkemba zamadoda alamandla

alesihluku kakhulu phakathi kwezizwe zonke.

Azachoboza ukuziqhenya kweGibhithe,

njalo wonke amaxuku alo azanqotshwa.

13Ngizabulala zonke inkomo zabo

ngaseduzane lamanzi amanengi

angaphindi adungwe lunyawo lomuntu futhi

kumbe angcoliswe ngamasondo enkomo ngodaka.

14Lapho-ke ngizakwenza amanzi alo azinze

lezifula zalo zigeleze njengamafutha,

kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.

15Lapho iGibhithe sengilichitha

ngiphundla ilizwe lakho konke okukulo,

lapho sengibacakazela phansi bonke abahlala khona,

lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.’

16Lesi yisililo esizaculelwa iGibhithe. Amadodakazi ezizwe azasicula: azasiculela iGibhithe kanye lamaxuku alo wonke, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.”

17Ngomnyaka wetshumi lambili, ngosuku lwetshumi lanhlanu lwenyanga, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:

18“Ndodana yomuntu, lilela amaxuku aseGibhithe njalo wehlisele ngaphansi komhlaba kokubili lona iGibhithe kanye lamadodakazi ezizwe ezilamandla, lalabo abehlela phansi egodini.

19Tshono kubo uthi, ‘Lina liyathandwa kakhulu kulabanye na? Yehlelani phansi lilale phakathi kwabangasokanga.’

20Bazafela phakathi kwalabo ababulawa ngenkemba. Inkemba isihwatshiwe; iGibhithe kalihudulwe lamaxuku alo wonke.

21Abakhokheli abalamandla bazakutsho ngeGibhithe labamanyene layo bephakathi kwengcwaba bathi, ‘Sebehlele phansi njalo balele labangasokanga, lalabo ababulawa ngenkemba.’

22I-Asiriya ikhona lebutho layo lonke; izungezwe ngamangcwaba abo bonke abayo ababuleweyo; bonke ababulawe ngenkemba.

23Amangcwaba abo asekuzikeni kwegodi njalo ibutho layo lilele lihanqe ingcwaba layo. Bonke abandisa ukwesaba elizweni labaphilayo babulewe, bebulawa ngenkemba.

24I-Elamu ikhona, lamaxuku ayo wonke azungeze ingcwaba layo. Bonke babulewe, bebulawa ngenkemba. Bonke abandisa ukwesaba elizweni labaphilayo behlela phansi ngaphansi komhlaba bengasokanga. Bathwele ihlazo labo belalabo abehlela phansi egodini.

25Yenzelwa umbheda phakathi kwababuleweyo, lamaxuku ayo wonke ehanqe ingcwaba layo. Bonke kabasokanga, babulawa ngenkemba. Ngoba ukwesatshwa kwabo kwasekugcwele elizweni labaphilayo, bathwala ihlazo labo lalabo abehlela phansi egodini; babekwa phakathi kwababuleweyo.

26IMesheki leThubhali akhona, lamaxuku awo wonke ezungeze amangcwaba awo. Wonke amaxuku kawasokanga, abulewe ngoba andisa ukwesatshwa kwawo elizweni labaphilayo.

27Kanje kawalele lamanye amabutho angasokanga awafayo, wona ehlela phansi engcwabeni lezikhali zawo zempi, azinkemba zawo zabekwa ngaphansi kwamakhanda awo na? Isijeziso sezono zawo sahlala phezu kwamathambo awo, lanxa ukwesatshwa kwamabutho la kwagcwala elizweni labaphilayo.

28Lawe futhi, wena Faro, uzakwephulwa njalo ulale phakathi kwabangasokanga, lalabo ababulawa ngenkemba.

29I-Edomi ikhona, amakhosi ayo lamakhosana ayo wonke; phezu kwamandla abo, balaliswa lalabo ababulawa ngenkemba. Balele labangasokanga, lalabo abehlela phansi egodini.

30Wonke amakhosana asenyakatho kanye lamaSidoni wonke bakhona; behlela phansi lababulawayo behlazekile lanxa kulokwesaba okwabangelwa ngamandla abo. Balele bengasokanga kanye lalabo ababulawa ngenkemba njalo bathwala ihlazo labo lalabo abehlela phansi egodini.

31UFaro lebutho lakhe uzababona njalo uzaduduzeka ngamaxuku akhe wonke abulawa ngenkemba, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.

32Lanxa ngamenza wandisa ukwesaba elizweni labaphilayo, uFaro kanye lamaxuku akhe wonke, bazalaliswa phakathi kwabangasokanga, lalabo ababulawa ngenkemba, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.”
