Hezekeli 21 Inkemba yeNkosi

¹ Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:

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

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

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

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

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

⁷ Kuyakuthi 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.

⁸ Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:

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

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

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

¹² Khala, 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.

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁸ Izwi 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.

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

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

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

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

²⁴ Ngalokho 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,

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

²⁷ Ngizakuhlehlisa, 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.

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

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

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

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