14 Memezelani eGibhithe, lizwakalise eMigidoli, ^b lizwakalise eNofi ^c leThahaphanesi, ^d lithi: Zimise, uzilungiselele, ^e ngoba inkemba izakudla inhlangothi zonke zakho. ^f 15 Kungani amadoda akho alamandla ^g ekhukhuliwe? ^h Kawemanga ngoba iNkosi iwafuqile. 16 Yandisa abakhubekayo, ⁱ yebo, omunye wawela phezu komunye; ^{j
,} ^k basebesithi: Sukumani, sibuyele ebantwini bakithi, lelizweni lokuzalwa kwethu, sisuke enkembeni ecindezelayo. ^l 17 Bamemeza khona, bathi: UFaro inkosi yeGibhithe ungumsindo; ^m udlulise isikhathi esimisiweyo. ⁿ

18 Kuphila kwami, ^o itsho iNkosi, ^p obizo layo yiNkosi yamabandla: ^{q
,} ^r Isibili njengeThabhori phakathi kwezintaba ^s lanjengeKharmeli ngaselwandle ^t uzafika. 19 Zenzele izikhali zokuthunjwa, ^u ndodakazi ehlala eGibhithe; ^v ngoba iNofi ^w izakuba yincithakalo, ^x itshiswe, kungabi lomhlali. ^y 20 IGibhithe ilithokazi ^z elihle kakhulu; isibawu siyeza, sivela enyakatho. ^aa 21 Labaqhatshiweyo bayo phakathi kwayo banjengethole lesibaya; ^ab ngoba labo baphendukile, ^ac babaleka kanyekanye; kabemanga, ngoba usuku lokuhlupheka kwabo lubehlele, ^{ad
,} ^ae isikhathi ^af sempindiselo yabo. ^ag 22 Ilizwi layo lizahamba ^ah njengenyoka; ^ai ngoba bazahamba lebutho, beze kuyo belamahloka, njengabagamuli bezihlahla. ^aj 23 Bagamule ihlathi layo, ^ak itsho iNkosi, lanxa lingephenywe, ^al ngoba banengi okwedlula isikhonyane, ^am kabalakubalwa. 24 Indodakazi yamaGibhithe izayangeka, izanikelwa esandleni sabantu benyakatho. ^an

25 INkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, ithi: Khangela, ngizajezisa uAmoni ^ao weNo, ^ap loFaro, leGibhithe, labonkulunkulu bayo, ^aq lamakhosi ayo, yebo uFaro labathembela kuye. 26 Ngibanikele esandleni salabo abadinga impilo yabo, ^ar lesandleni sikaNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni, lesandleni senceku zakhe; lemva kwalokho ihlalwe ^as njengensukwini zendulo, ^at itsho iNkosi.

Ezekiel 29

1 Ngomnyaka wetshumi, ngenyanga yetshumi, ngolwetshumi lambili lwenyanga, ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi, lisithi: 2 Ndodana yomuntu, misa ubuso bakho ^au bumelene loFaro inkosi yeGibhithe ^av, uprofethe umelene laye ^aw, njalo umelene layo yonke iGibhithe ^ax. 3 Khuluma uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngimelane lawe, Faro, nkosi yeGibhithe ^ay, umgobho omkhulu olele phakathi kwemifula yawo ^{az
,} ^ba, othi: Umfula wami ngowami, ngazenzela wona ^bb. 4 Kodwa ngizafaka izingwegwe emihlathini yakho ^bc, ngenze inhlanzi zemifula yakho zinamathele emaxolweni akho ^bd, ngikukhuphule phakathi kwemifula yakho, lazo zonke inhlanzi zemifula yakho zizanamathela emaxolweni akho ^be. 5 Njalo ngizakutshiya enkangala, wena lazo zonke inhlanzi zemifula yakho ^bf; uzawela ebusweni beganga; kawuyikuhlanganiswa, kawuyikubuthwa ^bg; ngizakunikela ube yikudla kuzo izilo zeganga lenyoni zamazulu ^bh. 6 Labo bonke abahlali beGibhithe bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi ^bi, ngoba bebeludondolo lomhlanga kuyo indlu kaIsrayeli ^bj. 7 Lapho bekubamba ngesandla, wephula wadabula lonke ihlombe labo; lalapho beseyama kuwe ^bk, wephuka, wenza zonke inkalo zabo zama ^bl.

8 Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngizaletha inkemba phezu kwakho ^bm, ngiqume kusuke kuwe umuntu lenyamazana ^bn. 9 Lelizwe leGibhithe lizakuba yincithakalo lenkangala. Khona bezakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi ^bo. Ngoba uthe: Umfula ngowami, mina-ke ngiwenzile ^bp. 10 Ngakho, khangela, ngimelene lawe ^bq, ngimelene lemifula yakho ^br; ngenze ilizwe leGibhithe libe yizincithakalo isibili lenkangala ^bs, kusukela emphotshongweni kusiya eSevene ^bt kuze kube semngceleni weEthiyophiya ^bu. 11 Kakulanyawo lomuntu oluzadlula kilo, kakulanyawo lwenyamazana oluzadlula kilo; futhi kaliyikuhlalwa okweminyaka engamatshumi amane ^bv. 12 Ngoba ngizakwenza ilizwe leGibhithe libe yincithakalo phakathi kwamazwe wonke achithekileyo ^bw; lemizi yalo phakathi kwemizi engamanxiwa izakuba yincithakalo okweminyaka engamatshumi amane ^bx; njalo ngizahlakaza amaGibhithe phakathi kwezizwe, ngiwasabalalise emazweni ^by.

13 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ekupheleni kweminyaka engamatshumi amane ngizabutha amaGibhithe ebantwini abahlakazekele khona ^bz. 14 Njalo ngizabuyisela abathunjwa beGibhithe ^ca, ngibenze babuyele elizweni lePatrosi, elizweni lokuzalwa kwabo; lapho-ke bazakuba ngumbuso ophansi ^cb. 15 Lizakuba phansi kulayo imibuso, futhi kalisayikuziphakamisa phezu kwezizwe; ngoba ngizabanciphisa ukuze bangabuyi babuse phezu kwezizwe ^cc. 16 Njalo kalisayikuba lithemba kuyo indlu kaIsrayeli ^cd, eletha ukukhunjulwa kwesiphambeko, lapho bephenduka ukulandela bona ^ce. Kodwa bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi uJehova ^cf.

17 Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa, ngenyanga yokuqala, ngolokuqala lwenyanga, ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi, lisithi: 18 Ndodana yomuntu, uNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni ^cg wenza ibutho lakhe lakhonza inkonzo enkulu ^ch limelene leTire ^ci; lonke ikhanda laphucwa, lalo lonke ihlombe lasutshulwa ^cj; kanti yena kalamvuzo, lebutho lakhe, ngenxa yeTire, ngenxa yenkonzo ayikhonza emelene layo. 19 Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngizanikela ilizwe leGibhithe kuNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni ^ck; njalo uzathatha ixuku layo, athumbe ukuthunjwa kwayo, aphange impango yayo; njalo kuzakuba liholo lebutho lakhe ^cl. 20 Ngimnike ilizwe leGibhithe kube ngumvuzo akhonza ngawo kulo, ngoba bangisebenzela, itsho iNkosi uJehova ^cm.

21 Ngalolosuku ngizakwenza uphondo lwendlu kaIsrayeli lukhahlele ^cn, ngikunike ukukhamisa komlomo phakathi kwabo ^co. Njalo bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi ^cp.
