Hezekeli 21Inkemba yeNkosi

1Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:

2Ndodana yomuntu, bhekisa ubuso bakho ngaseJerusalema, izwi lakho likhulume ezindlini ezingcwele, uprofethe ngezwe lakwa-Israyeli,

3Yisho ezweni lakwa-Israyeli, uthi: ‘Usho kanje uJehova, uthi; Bheka, ngimelene nawe; ngiyakuhosha inkemba yami emgodleni wayo, nginqume abalungileyo nababi kuwe.

4Kusukela ngalesosikhathi ngizaquma abalungileyo lababi kuwe, ngakho inkemba yami izaphuma emgodleni wayo imelane layo yonke inyama kusukela eningizimu kusiya enyakatho.

5Ukuze yonke inyama yazi ukuthi mina, Jehova, ngiyikhiphile inkemba yami emgodleni wayo; ngeke ibuye.

6Ngakho-ke, ndodana yomuntu, bubula ngokuphuka kwezinkalo zakho; babubule ngomunyu phambi kwamehlo abo.

7Kuyakuthi lapho bethi kuwe: Ububulani na? ukuthi kufanele uphendule: Ngenxa yomlayezo; ngoba iyeza, futhi zonke izinhliziyo ziyoncibilika, futhi zonke izandla ziyobuthakathaka, futhi yonke imimoya iyophelelwa amandla, futhi wonke amadolo ayoba buthakathaka njengamanzi; bheka, kuyeza, kuzokwenzeka, isho iNkosi uJehova.

8Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:

9Ndodana yomuntu, profetha uthi: Usho kanje uJehova; Yithi: “Inkemba, inkemba iloliwe, futhi iphahlwe;

10Liloliwe ukwenza ukubulala okunzima; silungisiwe ukuba sibengezele; pho, siyakujabula na? idelela intonga yendodana yami njengemithi yonke.

11Wayinikela ukuba isetshenzwe, iphathe; lenkemba iloliwe, ilungele ukuyinikela esandleni sombulali.

12Khala, ukhale, ndodana yomuntu, ngokuba liyakuba phezu kwabantu bami, libe phezu kwazo zonke izikhulu zakwa-Israyeli; uvalo ngenxa yenkemba luyakuba phezu kwabantu bami; bese ushaya inqulu.

13Ngoba kuyisivivinyo, futhi kuthiwani uma inkemba idelela ngisho nenduku? akusayikuba khona, isho iNkosi uJehova.

14Wena-ke, ndodana yomuntu, profetha, ushaye izandla zakho, inkemba iphindwe okwesithathu, inkemba yabanqotshiweyo; yinkemba yabakhulu abanqotshiweyo, abangena ezindaweni zabo zokucasha.

15Ngimise inkemba phezu kwawo wonke amasango abo, ukuze inhliziyo yabo iphele, nezinqwaba zabo zencithakalo zande. Ah! yenziwe yakhanya, isongwe ngenjongo yokuhlatshwa.

16Hamba uye kuwe ngandlela thize, noma ngakwesokunene noma ngakwesokhohlo, nomaphi lapho ubuso bakho bubheke khona.

17Nami ngizashaya izandla zami, ngiyeke ukuthukuthela; mina Jehova ngikukhulumile.

18Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:

19“Wena ndodana yomuntu, zibeke ezindleleni ezimbili, ukuze kufike inkemba yenkosi yaseBabele, ziphume ezweni elilodwa zombili; futhi uzikhethele indawo, uyikhethe ekuqaleni komgwaqo oya edolobheni.

20Misa indlela, ukuze inkemba ifike eRabbati labantwana bakwa-Amoni nakwaJuda eJerusalema, umuzi oyisivikelo.

21Ngokuba inkosi yaseBabele yayimi emaphethelweni endlela, ekuqaleni kwezindlela ezimbili, ukuze ibhule;

22Ngakwesokunene sakhe kwakukhona ukubhula ngeJerusalema, ukumisa ababusi, ukuvula umlomo ekubulaweni, ukuphakamisa izwi ngokumemeza, ukubeka izinhlaka emasangweni, ukuphonsa intaba nokwakha inqaba.

23Kuyakuba kubo njengokubhula kwamanga phambi kwamehlo abo, kulabo abafunga isifungo;

24Ngalokho isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Ngokuba nikhumbulile ububi benu, ngokuba iziphambeko zenu zambulwa, ukuze izono zenu zibonakale kuzo zonke izenzo zenu; ngokuba, ngithi, senikhunjulwe, niyobanjwa ngesandla.

25“Nawe, sikhulu esibi sakwa-Israyeli, osuku lwakho lufikile, lapho ububi buphela,

26Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Susa isigqoko, ukhumule umqhele; akuyi kufana: phakamisani ophansi, nehlise ophakeme.

27Ngizakuhlehlisa, ngikuhlehlise, ngikuhlehlise; futhi ngeke kusaba khona aze afike lowo okungelungelo lakhe; futhi ngizomnika yona.

28“Wena-ke, ndodana yomuntu, profetha uthi: ‘Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova ngokuphathelene nabantwana bakwa-Amoni nangesihlamba sabo; ngisho nani nithi: ‘Inkemba, inkemba ihoshiwe; ngenxa yokuhlatshwa kwephulwa ukuze kugaywe ngenxa yokubenyezela.

29Lapho bekubona ngeze, bekhuluma amanga kuwe, ukuze bakwehlisele phezu kwezintamo zalabo abanqotshiweyo, ababi abalusuku lwabo lufikile lokuthi ububi babo buphele.

30Ngiwubuyisele emgodleni wawo na? ngiyakukwahlulela endaweni owadalwa kuyo, ezweni lokuzalwa kwakho.

31Ngiyakuthulula phezu kwakho ukufutheka kwami, ngikuvuthele ngomlilo wokufutheka kwami, ngikunikele esandleni sabantu abayizihlakaniphi nabanekhono lokubhubhisa.

32Uzakuba yinkuni yomlilo; igazi lakho liyakuba phakathi kwezwe; awusayikukhunjulwa, ngokuba mina Jehova ngikukhulumile.
