uHezekile uHezekile 1 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

1Ngomnyaka wamashumi omathathu, ngenyanga yesine, ngolwesihlanu usuku enyangeni leyo, ndakubon’ ukuba ndiphakathi kwabathinjwe emlanjeni oyiKebhare, avuleka amazulu, ndabona imibono kaThixo.

2Ngomhla wesihlanu enyangeni leyo, oko kukuthi, umnyaka wesihlanu wekratshi lokumkani uYehoyakin.

3Lafika ilizwi likaYehova ngokungqalileyo kuHezekile unyana kaBhusi umbingeleli kwilizwe lamaKhaledi kufuphi nomlambo iKebhare; saba phezu kwakhe khona isandla sikaYehova.

4Ndabona, nanko kukho umoya ovuthuzayo, uvela ngasentla, uvela ngelifu elikhulu, nomlilo ogubungelayo, kukukhanya okumhlophe, kuphuma phakathi komlilo;

5Kwabakho ke kuwo umzekeliso wezinto eziphilileyo zone. Imbonakalo yawo ibinje; babenemo yomntu.

6Inye ibe inobuso obune, inye ibe inamaphiko amane.

7Imilenze yazo ibiyimilenze ethe tye; umphantsi weenyawo zazo ubunjengomphantsi wenqina lethole, zibengezela ngokwembonakalo yobhedu olukhazimlisiweyo.

8Zazinezandla zomntu phantsi kwamaphiko azo emacaleni azo omane; zone kuzo zazinobuso namaphiko.

9Amaphiko azo abehlangene; ababuyanga; bahamba baya phambili ngabanye.

10Ke imfano yobuso bazo ibinobuso obune bomntu, nobuso bengonyama bune ngasekunene; zibe zinobuso benkomo zone ngasekhohlo; zinobuso bokhozi zone.

11Ubuso bazo babunjalo, namaphiko azo ayelukile; iingalo zombini zazihlangene, zombini zazigqubuthele imizimba yazo.

12Bonke baya ngaphambili; apho sukuba umoya ubufuna ukuya khona, zaya khona; kwaye abazange babuye ekuhambeni kwabo.

13Imfano yezinto eziphilileyo ezo, imbonakalo yazo, ibingathi ngamalahle omlilo abasiweyo; ibingathi yimbonakalo yezikhuni ezitshangazayo; kwabengezela umlilo, kwaphuma imibane emlilweni.

14Izinto eziphilileyo bezigidima zibuye, ngokokubonakala kombane.

15Ndakhangela ezintweni eziphilileyo, ndabona iivili emhlabeni, ecaleni kwezinto eziphilileyo, zinganye iivili kubuso ngobuso bazo obune.

16Ukubonakala kweevili nokusetyenzwa kwazo kwakunjengokubonakala kweevili nokubukeka kwazo zone, zibe zifana ngokufanayo, ukubonakala kwazo nokusetyenzwa kwazo kwakunjengevili phakathi kwevili.

17Ekuhambeni kwakhe wahamba kumacala awo omane, yaye akazange ajike ekuhambeni kwakhe.

18Amakhonkco awo ebephakame ngokoyikeka; Amakhonkco azo ebezele ngamehlo ngeenxa zonke kuzo zone.

19Zakuhamba izinto eziphilileyo, zahamba nazo iivili kunye nazo; zakusuka izinto eziphilileyo emhlabeni, zasuka nazo iivili.

20Apho sukuba ubusiya khona umoya, zaya apho sukuba umoya ubusiya khona; zasuka iivili, ngokokuba umoya wento ephilileyo ubukho ezivilini ezo.

21Bakuba bemkile, naye wemka; zema, zema; zakusuka emhlabeni, zasuka iivili kunye nazo, ngokokuba umoya wezinto eziphilileyo ubukho ezivilini ezo.

22Umfanekiselo wezulu phezu kweentloko zezidalwa eziphilileyo ube ufana nelitye lekristale eyoyikekayo, phezu kwentloko yazo;

23Ngaphantsi kwesibhakabhaka amaphiko ayewolule, elinye emva kwelinye, iyileyo inamabini agubungeleyo kweli cala, elinye inamabini ayigubungeleyo imizimba yazo kweli cala.

24Ekuhambeni kwazo ndeva isandi samaphiko azo, sinjengesandi samanzi amaninzi, ngathi sisandi soSomandla, sisandi sentetho, ngathi sisandi somkhosi; zakuma, zawathoba amaphiko azo.

25Kuthe ke kwakuvakala izwi liphuma entlokweni yazo, zesuka zawathoba amaphiko azo.

26Ngaphezu kwendawo ephezu kweentloko zazo, kwabonakala kunjengetrone, wanga lilitye lesafire;

27Ndabona ke, ngathi yimbonakalo yobhedu, ngathi yimbonakalo yomlilo kuyo, kuthabathela embonakalweni yesinqe kwenyusa; ukukhanya macala onke.

28Ngathi yimbonakalo yomnyama obakhoyo efini mini ngemvula, kwabonakala ukukhanya, njengako yonke indawo. Le yimbonakalo yembonakalo yobuqaqawuli bukaYehova. Ndithe ndakuyibona le nto, ndawa ngobuso, ndaliva ilizwi lomntu othethayo.
