< Ezekiel 6 >

1 Again the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kimi lisithi:
2 Sonne of man, Set thy face towardes the mountaines of Israel, and prophecie against them,
Ndodana yomuntu, khangelisa ubuso bakho ngasezintabeni zakoIsrayeli, uprofethe umelene lazo.
3 And say, Ye mountaines of Israel, heare the worde of the Lord God: thus sayth the Lord God to the mountaines and to the hilles, to the riuers and to the valleis, Beholde, I, euen I will bring a sworde vpon you, and I will destroy your hie places:
Uthi: Lina zintaba zakoIsrayeli, zwanini ilizwi leNkosi uJehova. Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova ezintabeni, lemaqaqeni, ezifuleni, lezihotsheni: Khangelani, mina ngizakwehlisela phezu kwenu inkemba, ngichithe indawo zenu eziphakemeyo.
4 And your altars shalbe desolate, and your images of the sunne shalbe broken: and I will cast downe your slaine men before your idoles.
Lamalathi enu azachithwa, lamalathi enu elanga aphahlazwe, lababuleweyo benu ngibaphosele phansi phambi kwezithombe zenu.
5 And I will lay the dead carkeises of the children of Israel before their idoles, and I will scatter your bones round about your altars.
Ngibeke izidumbu zabantwana bakoIsrayeli phambi kwezithombe zabo, ngihlakaze amathambo enu inhlangothi zonke zamalathi enu.
6 In all your dwelling places the cities shalbe desolate, and the hie places shalbe laide waste, so that your altars shalbe made waste and desolate, and your idoles shalbe broken, and cease, and your images of the sunne shalbe cut in pieces, and your workes shalbe abolished.
Kuzo zonke indawo zenu zokuhlala imizi izachithwa, lendawo eziphakemeyo zibe ngamanxiwa, ukuze amalathi enu achithwe abe ngamanxiwa, lezithombe zenu ziphahlazwe ziphele, lamalathi enu elanga aqunywe, lemisebenzi yenu itshabalaliswe.
7 And the slaine shall fall in the middes of you, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lord.
Lababuleweyo bazakuwa phakathi kwenu, njalo lizakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.
8 Yet will I leaue a remnant, that you may haue some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when you shalbe scattred through the countreyes.
Kodwa ngizatshiya insali ukuze libe labanye abazaphepha inkemba phakathi kwezizwe lapho lizahlakazekela emazweni.
9 And they that escape of you, shall remember me among the nations, where they shalbe in captiuitie, because I am grieued for their whorish hearts, which haue departed from mee, and for their eyes, which haue gone a whoring after their idoles, and they shalbe displeased in them selues for the euils, which they haue committed in all their abominations.
Labaphunyukileyo benu bazangikhumbula phakathi kwezizwe lapho abathunjelwe khona; ngoba ngidabukile ngenxa yenhliziyo yabo ephingayo, esukileyo kimi, langamehlo abo aphingayo elandela izithombe zabo. Njalo bazazenyanya ngobubi ababenzileyo kuwo wonke amanyala abo.
10 And they shall knowe that I am the Lord, and that I haue not saide in vaine, that I woulde doe this euill vnto them.
Njalo bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi; kangikhulumanga ngeze ukuthi ngizakwenza lokho okubi kubo.
11 Thus saith the Lord God, Smite with thine hand, and stretch forth with thy foote, and say, Alas, for all the wicked abominations of the house of Israel: for they shall fall by the sworde, by the famine, and by the pestilence.
Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Tshaya ngesandla sakho, utshaye phansi ngonyawo lwakho, uthi: Maye ngenxa yawo wonke amanyala amabi endlu yakoIsrayeli! ngoba bazakuwa ngenkemba, ngendlala, langomatshayabhuqe wesifo.
12 He that is farre off, shall dye of the pestilence, and he that is neere, shall fall by the sword, and hee that remaineth and is besieged, shall dye by the famine: thus will I accomplish my wrath vpon them.
Okhatshana uzakufa ngomatshayabhuqe wesifo, loseduze uzakuwa ngenkemba, loseleyo wavinjezelwa uzakufa yindlala. Ngokunjalo ngizaphelelisa ukufutheka kwami phezu kwabo.
13 Then ye shall knowe, that I am ye Lord, when their slaine men shalbe among their idoles round about their altars, vpon euerie hie hill in al the toppes of the mountaines, and vnder euery greene tree, and vnder euerie thicke oke, which is the place where they did offer sweete sauour to all their idoles.
Khona lizakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi, lapho ababuleweyo babo sebephakathi kwezithombe zabo behanqe amalathi abo, phezu kwalo lonke uqaqa olude, ezingqongeni zonke zezintaba, langaphansi kwaso sonke isihlahla esiluhlaza, langaphansi kwalo lonke i-okhi eliqatha, indawo ababenikela khona iphunga elimnandi kuzo zonke izithombe zabo.
14 So will I stretch mine hand vpon them, and make the lande waste, and desolate from the wildernes vnto Diblath in all their habitations, and they shall know, that I am the Lord.
Ngokunjalo ngizakwelulela isandla sami phezu kwabo, ngenze ilizwe libe lunxiwa, yebo, libe lunxiwa kulenkangala ngaseDibila, kuzo zonke izindawo zabo zokuhlala. Khona bezakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.
