Hezekeli 23

¹ Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁸ Wasembula ubufebe bakhe, wembula ubunqunu bakhe;

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

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

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

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

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

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

²⁵ Futhi 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.

²⁶ Futhi bayokuhlubula izingubo zakho futhi bathathe amagugu akho amahle.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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