Hezekeli 31
1Kwathi ngomnyaka weshumi nanye, ngenyanga yesithathu, ngolokuqala lwenyanga, izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:
2Ndodana yomuntu, khuluma kuFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe lexuku lakhe; Ufana nobani ngobukhulu bakho?
3Bheka, umAsiriya wayengumsedari waseLebanoni, unamagatsha amahle, unengubo enomthunzi, umude; isihloko sawo sasiphakathi kwamagatsha awugqinsi.
4Amanzi amkhulisa, uzamcolo wamphakamisa, imifula yakhe yazungeza izitshalo zakhe, nemifula yakhe yaphumela kuyo yonke imithi yasendle.
5Ngalokho ubude bawo baphakama ngaphezu kwayo yonke imithi yasendle, namagatsha awo anda, namagatsha awo aba made ngenxa yobuningi bamanzi ekuhlumeni kwawo.
6Zonke izinyoni zezulu zakha isidleke sazo emagatsheni awo, naphansi kwamagatsha awo zonke izilwane zasendle zazala amazinyane azo, nangaphansi komthunzi wawo zahlala izizwe zonke ezinkulu.
7Kanjalo wawumuhle ngobukhulu bakhe, ngobude bamagatsha awo, ngokuba impande yawo yayingasemanzini amaningi.
8Imisedari yasensimini kaNkulunkulu yayingenakumfihla; imisayipuresi yayingenjengamagatsha awo, nemipuleti yayingenjengamagatsha awo; futhi kwakungekho muthi ensimini kaNkulunkulu owawunjengaye ngobuhle bawo.
9Ngawenza waba muhle ngobuningi bamagatsha awo, kangangokuthi yonke imithi yase-Edene eyayisensimini kaNkulunkulu yaba nomhawu ngawo.
10Ngalokho isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Ngenxa yokuthi uziphakamisile phezulu, yasiphumisa isihloko sayo phakathi kwamagatsha aminyene, nenhliziyo yayo iphakeme ekuphakameni kwayo;
11Ngalokho ngamnikela esandleni sonamandla kwabezizwe; ngokuqinisekile uyosebenzelana naye; Ngamxosha ngenxa yobubi bakhe.
12Abafokazi, abesabekayo bezizwe, bamqothula, bamshiya; ezintabeni nasezigodini zonke amagatsha awo awela, amagatsha awo aphulwa emifuleni yonke yezwe; bonke abantu bomhlaba behla emthunzini wakhe, bamshiya.
13Ekubhidlikeni kwawo zonke izinyoni zezulu ziyakuhlala, nezilwane zasendle zibe semagatsheni awo.
14Ukuze kungabikho nesisodwa esihlahleni esisemanzini esiziphakamisayo, singaphumi isihloko saso phakathi kwamagatsha aminyene, nemithi yaso ingemi ekuphakameni kwayo, yonke ephuza amanzi; ngokuba bonke banikelwe ekufeni, ezindaweni eziphansi zomhlaba, phakathi kwabantwana babantu, kanye nabehlela egodini.
15Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova; Ngosuku ehlela ngalo endaweni yabafileyo, ngenza isililo; ngamsibekela uzamcolo, ngavimbela imifula yawo, amanzi amaningi anqamuka; ngalilela iLebanoni ngenxa yakhe, nemithi yonke yasendle yaphelelwa amandla ngenxa yakhe.
16Ngenza ukuba izizwe zithuthumele ngomsindo wokuwa kwakhe, lapho ngehlisela eHayidese kanye nalabo abehlela egodini; futhi zonke izihlahla zase-Edene, ezikhethiweyo nezingcono kakhulu zaseLebanoni, zonke eziphuza amanzi ziyakududuzwa ezindaweni ezingaphansi komhlaba.
17Nabo behla kanye naye esihogweni kwababebulewe ngenkemba; nabampofu bakhe, ababehlala emthunzini wakhe phakathi kwezizwe.
18“Ulingana nobani ngenkazimulo nobukhulu phakathi kwemithi yase-Edene na? kepha uyakuphonswa phansi kanye nemithi yase-Edene ezindaweni eziphansi zomhlaba; phakathi kwabangasokile uyolala kanye nababulewe ngenkemba. NguFaro naso sonke isixuku sakhe, isho iNkosi uJehova.
