Hezekeli 23

1Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:

2Ndodana yomuntu, kwakukhona abesifazane ababili, amadodakazi onina munye;

3Bafeba eGibithe; bafeba ebusheni babo; kwacindezelwa khona amabele abo, balimaza khona isifuba sobuntombi babo.

4Amagama abo kwakungu-Ohola izibulo, no-Oholiba udadewabo; futhi baba ngabami, futhi bazala amadodana namadodakazi. Ayenjalo amagama abo; ISamariya lingu-Ohola, iJerusalema lingu-Oholiba.

5U-Ohola waphinga esengowami; wafisa izithandwa zakhe kuma-Asiriya, abakhelwane bakhe;

6Babembethe izingubo eziluhlaza, izinduna nezinduna, zonke izinsizwa ezinxanelekayo, abamahhashi begibele amahhashi.

7Wafeba nabo, nabo bonke abakhethiweyo base-Asiriya, nabo bonke ayebakhanukela; wazingcolisa ngazo zonke izithombe zabo.

8Futhi akashiyanga ubufebe bakhe abakhishwa eGibithe; ngoba ebusheni bakhe balala naye, baphula amabele obuntombi bakhe, bathululela ubufebe babo phezu kwakhe.

9Ngakho ngamnikela esandleni sezithandwa zakhe, esandleni sama-Asiriya ayewalangazelela.

10Bambula ubunqunu bakhe, bathatha amadodana akhe namadodakazi akhe, bambulala ngenkemba, waduma phakathi kwabesifazane; ngoba bamahlulela.

11Lapho udadewabo u-Oholiba ekubona, wayekhohlakele kakhulu ngothando lwakhe oludlulele kunaye, nobufebe bakhe kunodadewabo ebufebeni bakhe.

12Wayebathanda abase-Asiriya, abakhelwane bakhe, nezinduna zakhe, nababusi, ababevunule kahle, nabamahhashi abakhwele amahhashi, izinsizwa ezinxanelekayo zonke.

13Ngase ngibona ukuthi ungcolile, ukuthi bobabili bahamba indlela eyodwa;

14Wandisa ubufebe bakhe, ngokuba lapho ebona abantu bechithwa odongeni, izithombe zamaKaledi zithululwa ngokubomvu;

15Bebhince amabhande ezinkalweni zabo, abaningi begqoke izingubo ezidayiwe emakhanda abo, zonke izikhulu ukuze zibheke indlela yabaseBhabhiloni baseKaledi, izwe lokuzalwa kwabo.

16Lapho ewabona ngamehlo akhe, wawafisa, wathumela izithunywa kuwo eKaledi.

17AbaseBhabhiloni beza kuye embhedeni wothando, bamngcolisa ngobufebe babo, wangcoliswa ngabo, lomphefumulo wakhe wehlukana labo.

18Wasembula ubufebe bakhe, wembula ubunqunu bakhe;

19Kodwa wandisa ubufebe bakhe ngokukhumbula izinsuku zobutsha bakhe lapho aphinga ngazo elizweni leGibhithe.

20Ngokuba walangazelela izithandwa zabo, ezinyama yazo injengenyama yezimbongolo, nokugeleza kwazo kunjengokugeleza kwamahhashi.

21Ngakho wakhumbula ihlazo lobutsha bakho, ngokuchotshozwa kwezingono zakho ngabaseGibhithe ngenxa kayise wobutsha bakho.

22Ngalokho, Oholiba, isho kanje iNkosi uJehova; Bheka, ngiyakuvusela izithandwa zakho ezisukile kuzo inhliziyo yakho, ngizilethe kuwe zivela nxazonke;

23abaseBhabhiloni nawo wonke amaKaledi, oPhekodi noShowa noKowa nawo wonke ama-Asiriya kanye nawo, zonke izinsizwa ezinxanelekayo, izinduna nababusi, izikhulu ezinkulu nezidumile, bonke abagibele amahhashi.

24Bayakukufikela benezinqola, nezinqola, namasondo, nesixuku sabantu abayakumisa isihlangu nesihlangu nesigqoko nxazonke zakho; futhi ngiyobeka umthetho phambi kwabo, futhi bayokwahlulela ngokwezahlulelo zabo.

25Futhi ngizobeka ukushisekela kwami phezu kwakho, futhi bayobhekana nawe; bayakususa ikhala lakho nezindlebe zakho; insali yenu iyakuwa ngenkemba; bayakuthatha amadodana akho namadodakazi akho; futhi insali yakho iyoqedwa ngomlilo.

26Futhi bayokuhlubula izingubo zakho futhi bathathe amagugu akho amahle.

27Ngakho ngiyokwenza ukuba ihlazo lakho liphele kuwe nasebufebeni bakho owakhishwa ezweni laseGibhithe, ukuze ungawaphakamiseli amehlo akho kubo futhi ungabe usacabanga ngeGibhithe.

28Ngokuba isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Bheka, ngiyakunikela esandleni salabo obazondayo, esandleni salabo inhliziyo yakho ihlubuke kubo.

29Bayokwenza kuwe ngenzondo, bathathe wonke umshikashika wakho, bakushiye uhamba-ze, ubonakalisiwe; nehlazo lobufebe bakho liyokwambulwa, ihlazo lakho kanye nobufebe bakho.

30Ngizakwenza lokhu kuwe, ngoba usuphingile ngokulandela abezizwe, langokungcoliswa kwenu ngezithombe zabo.

31Wahamba ngendlela kadadewenu; ngalokho ngiyakunikela indebe yakhe esandleni sakho.

32Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Uyakuphuza endebeni kadadewenu ejulile, enkulu; uyakuhlekwa, uhlekwe; iqukethe okuningi.

33Uyakugcwala ukudakwa nosizi, endebeni yokumangala neyencithakalo, indebe yodadewenu iSamariya.

34Uyowuphuza, uwumunce, uphihlize izingcezu zawo, uklebhule amabele akho, ngokuba mina ngikhulumile, isho iNkosi uJehova.

35Ngalokho isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Ngokuba ningikhohliwe, ningilahle ngemuva kwakho, nithwale ihlazo lakho nobufebe bakho.

36Futhi uJehova wathi kimi: “Ndodana yomuntu, uyathanda ukwahlulela o-Ohola no-Oholiba na? yebo, memezela kubo izinengiso zabo;

37ukuthi baphingile, legazi lisezandleni zabo, baphingile lezithombe zabo, lamadodana abo abangizalele wona, bawadabulile emlilweni ukuze abaqede.

38Bakwenza lokhu kimi: bangcolisa indlu yami engcwele ngalona lolo suku, bawona amasabatha ami.

39Lapho bebulala abantwana babo ngenxa yezithombe zabo, bangena ngalona lolo suku endlini yami engcwele ukuyingcolisa; futhi bheka, benza kanjalo endlini yami.

40Futhi wathuma amadoda evela kude, okwathunyelwa kuwo isithunywa; bheka, bafika; owagezela yena, wapenda amehlo akho, wazihlobisa ngezivunulo;

41wahlala embhedeni omuhle, walilungisela itafula, wabeka phezu kwalo impepho yami namafutha ami.

42Ilizwi lexuku elaliduduzwa lalikanye laye, kanye lamadoda avamileyo balethwa amaSabeya avela enkangala, ethwele amasongo ezandleni lemiqhele emihle emakhanda awo.

43Ngase ngithi kuye osemdala ngokuphinga: Kalokhu bayakuphinga naye, yena kanye nabo, na?

44Kodwa bangena kuye njengoba bengena kowesifazana ophingayo; bangena ke ku-Ohola no-Oholiba abesifazane abakhanukayo.

45Futhi amadoda alungile, ayobahlulela ngokwendlela yeziphingi nangokwendlela yabesifazane abachitha igazi; ngoba bayiziphingi, legazi lisesandleni sabo.

46Ngokuba isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Ngiyakukhuphulela isixuku ukuba silwe nabo, ngibanike ukuba basuke, bachithe.

47Isixuku siyobakhanda ngamatshe sibakhiphe nezinkemba zaso; kumelwe babulale amadodana abo namadodakazi abo futhi bashise izindlu zabo ngomlilo.

48Ngakho ngizaqeda inhlamba elizweni, ukuze bonke abesifazana bafundiswe ukuthi bangenzi njengehlazo lakho.

49Bayakuniphindisela ngamahlazo enu, nithwale izono zezithombe zenu; nizokwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi uJehova.
