Hezekeli 29 UJehova ukhuluma eGibhithe

¹ Kwathi ngomnyaka weshumi, ngenyanga yeshumi, ngosuku lweshumi nambili lwenyanga, izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:

² Ndodana yomuntu, bhekisa ubuso bakho kuFaro, inkosi yaseGibithe, uprofethe ngaye nangeGibithe lonke.

³ Khuluma uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi; Bheka, nginakho ngawe, Faro, nkosi yaseGibithe, udrako omkhulu olele phakathi kwemifula yakhe, owathi: ‘Umfula wami ungowami, ngizenzele wona ngokwami.’

⁴ Kepha ngiyakufaka izingwegwe emihlathini yakho, ngenze izinhlanzi zemifula yakho zinamathele emaxolweni akho, ngikukhuphule phakathi kwemifula yakho, nezinhlanzi zonke zemifula yakho zinamathele emaxolweni akho.

⁵ Ngiyakukwenza ukuba uphonseke ehlane, wena nazo zonke izinhlanzi zemifula yakho; uyakuwa endle; awuyikubuthwa, ungaqoqwa; ngikunike ukuba ube ngukudla kwezilwane zasendle nokwezinyoni zezulu.

⁶ Bonke abakhileyo eGibhithe bayokwazi ukuthi nginguJehova, ngoba babengumhlanga kuyo indlu ka-Israyeli.

⁷ Lapho bebamba isandla sakho, wena waphuka, waklebhula lonke ihlombe labo; nalapho bencika kuwe, wena waphuka, wamisa zonke izinkalo zabo.

⁸ Ngalokho isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Bheka, ngiyakwehlisela inkemba phezu kwakho, nginqume kuwe abantu nezilwane.

⁹ Izwe laseGibithe liyakuba yihlane nehlane; bayakwazi ukuthi nginguJehova, ngokuba wathi: Umfula ungowami, ngiwenzile.

¹⁰ Ngakho-ke bheka, ngimelene nawe nemifula yakho, futhi ngiyakwenza izwe laseGibithe libe yincithakalo nehlane, kusukela embhoshongweni waseSiena kuze kube semngceleni waseKushe.

¹¹ Akuyikudabula unyawo lomuntu kulo, nonyawo lwesilwane olungenqamuki kulo, aliyikuhlalwa iminyaka engamashumi amane.

¹² Ngiyakwenza izwe laseGibithe libe yihlane phakathi kwamazwe achithekileyo, nemizi yalo phakathi kwemizi eyincithakalo ibe yihlane iminyaka engamashumi amane; ngiyakubahlakazela abaseGibithe ezizweni, ngibahlakazele emazweni.

¹³ Kodwa nanku okutshiwo nguJehova Wobukhosi: Ekupheleni kweminyaka engamatshumi amane ngizabutha amaGibhithe ebantwini lapho abahlakazekele khona.

¹⁴ Ngiyokubuyisa ukuthunjwa eGibhithe ngibabuyisele ezweni lasePhatirosi, ezweni lokuhlala kwabo; futhi bayoba nombuso omncane lapho.

¹⁵ Uyoba phansi kunayo yonke imibuso; futhi ngeke lisaziphakamisa ngaphezu kwezizwe, ngoba ngizobanciphisa, ukuze bangabe besabusa phezu kwezizwe.

¹⁶ Futhi ngeke kusaba ithemba lendlu ka-Israyeli ekhumbula ububi bayo lapho ibanakekela; kodwa bayokwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi uJehova.

¹⁷ Kwathi ngomnyaka wamashumi amabili nesikhombisa, ngenyanga yokuqala, ngolokuqala lwenyanga, izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:

¹⁸ Ndodana yomuntu, uNebukadinesari inkosi yaseBabele wenza impi yakhe yasebenza inkonzo enkulu phezu kweTire; kepha wayengenamvuzo nebutho lakhe leTire ngomsebenzi ayenawo. Inikezwe ngokumelene:

¹⁹ Ngalokho isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Bheka, ngiyakunikela izwe laseGibithe kuNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele; iyakuthatha isixuku salo, aphange impango yalo, aphange impango yalo; futhi lokhu kuyoba umvuzo webutho lakhe.

²⁰ Ngamnika izwe laseGibithe ngomsebenzi wakhe awusebenzele kulo, ngokuba bangisebenzele, isho iNkosi uJehova.

²¹ Ngalolo suku ngiyakuhlumisa uphondo lwendlu yakwa-Israyeli, ngikunike ukuvulwa komlomo phakathi kwabo; bazakwazi ukuthi nginguJehova.
