IsAmbulo 18
1Emva kwalokho ngabona enye ingelosi yehla ezulwini, inamandla amakhulu; futhi umhlaba wakhanyiswa ngenkazimulo yakhe.
2Sasesimemeza ngelizwi elilamandla, sisithi: Liwile, iBhabhiloni elikhulu, njalo selibe yindawo yokuhlala amadimoni, lenqaba yabo bonke omoya abangcolileyo, lesibaya senyoni zonke ezingcolileyo lezizondekayo.
3Ngokuba izizwe zonke ziphuzile ewayinini lolaka lobufebe balo, namakhosi omhlaba afeba nalo, nabathengisi bomhlaba banothile ngokuchichima kwezibiliboco zalo.
4Ngase ngizwa elinye izwi livela ezulwini, lithi: “Phumani kuyo, bantu bami, ukuze ningahlanganyeli ezonweni zayo, nokuze ningamukeli okwezinhlupho zayo.
5Ngokuba izono zalo zifinyelele ezulwini, noNkulunkulu ukhumbulile ukungalungi kwalo.
6Linikeni njengalokho lanivuza, niligcwalise ngokuphindwe kabili ngokwemisebenzi yalo;
7Ngalokho elizikhazimulise ngakhona, lazithokozisa, mnikeni ukuhlushwa nokudabuka okungaka, ngokuba lithi enhliziyweni yalo: ‘Ngihlezi ngiyindlovukazi, angisuye umfelokazi, futhi angiyikubona ukudabuka.’
8Ngakho-ke izinhlupho zalo ziyakufika ngalusuku lunye, ukufa, nokulila, nendlala; iyakushiswa nokushiswa ngomlilo, ngokuba inamandla iNkosi uJehova owahlulelayo.
9Lamakhosi omhlaba aphingayo laye aphile kamnandi laye, azakulilela, alilele, lapho ebona intuthu yokutshiswa kwayo;
10emi khatshana ngokwesaba ukuhlutshwa kwalo, esithi: Maye, maye, umuzi omkhulu iBhabhiloni, umuzi onamandla! ngoba ngehora elilodwa ukwahlulela kwakho kufike.
11Abathengisi bomhlaba bayakulila, balikhalele; ngoba akusekho muntu othenga impahla yabo.
12Ukuthengiswa kwegolide, nesiliva, namatshe anenani, namaparele, nelineni elicolekileyo, nokububende, nosilika, nokubomvu, nazo zonke izigodo zakho, nezitsha zonke zophondo lwendlovu, nezitsha zonke zokhuni oluyigugu; neyethusi, nensimbi, netshe letsheba;
13nesinamoni, nempepho, namafutha okugcoba, nenhlaka, newayini, namafutha, nempuphu ecolekileyo, nokolweni, nezinkomo, nezimvu, namahhashi, nezinqola, nezinceku, nemiphefumulo yabantu.
14Nezithelo umphefumulo wakho ozifisayo zimukile kuwe, nakho konke okumnandi nokubukekayo kumuka kuwe, awusayikuzithola nhlobo.
15Abathengisi balezo zinto abacetshiswa ngalo bayakuma kude ngokwesaba ukuhlushwa kwalo, bekhala belila;
16bethi: “Maye, maye, umuzi omkhulu owawumbethe ilineni elicolekileyo, nokububende, nokubomvu, uhlotshiswe ngegolide, namatshe anenani, namaparele!
17Ngokuba ngehora linye ingcebo engaka isichithiwe. Bonke abaqhubi bemikhumbi, nesixuku sonke semikhumbi, namatilosi, nabo bonke abahweba olwandle bema kude;
18Bamemeza bebona umusi wokushiswa kwalo, bethi: “Ngumuphi umuzi ofana nalo muzi omkhulu na?
19Base bethela uthuli emakhanda abo, bamemeza bekhala, belila, bethi: “Maye, maye, muzi omkhulu, lapho kwacetshiswa khona bonke ababenemikhumbi olwandle ngenxa yokubiza kwawo okuhle! ngoba ngehora elilodwa selichithekile.
20Thokoza ngawo wena zulu, nani baphostoli abangcwele, nani baprofethi; ngoba uNkulunkulu ukuphindisele kulo.
21Ingelosi enamandla yafukula itshe elinjengelokusila elikhulu, yaliphonsa olwandle, ithi: “Kanjalo iBabiloni umuzi omkhulu liyakuphonswa phansi ngamandla, lingabe lisafunyanwa.
22Izwi lababetha amahabhu, nabahlabeleli, nabashaya imitshingo, nabamacilongo alisayikuzwakala kuwe nakanye; kayisayikutholwa kuwe ngcweti yanoma yimuphi umsebenzi oyiwo; umsindo wetshe lokugaya awusayikuzwakala kuwe nakanye;
23Nokukhanya kwesibani akusayikukhanya kuwe nakanye; nezwi lomyeni nelomlobokazi alisayikuzwakala kuwe nakanye; ngokuba ngobuthakathi bakho izizwe zonke zikhohlisiwe.
24Kuyo kwafunyanwa igazi labaprofethi, nelabangcwele, nelabo bonke ababulawa emhlabeni.

1Emva kwalokho ngabona enye ingelosi yehla ezulwini, inamandla amakhulu; futhi umhlaba wakhanyiswa ngenkazimulo yakhe.
2Sasesimemeza ngelizwi elilamandla, sisithi: Liwile, iBhabhiloni elikhulu, njalo selibe yindawo yokuhlala amadimoni, lenqaba yabo bonke omoya abangcolileyo, lesibaya senyoni zonke ezingcolileyo lezizondekayo.
3Ngokuba izizwe zonke ziphuzile ewayinini lolaka lobufebe balo, namakhosi omhlaba afeba nalo, nabathengisi bomhlaba banothile ngokuchichima kwezibiliboco zalo.
4Ngase ngizwa elinye izwi livela ezulwini, lithi: “Phumani kuyo, bantu bami, ukuze ningahlanganyeli ezonweni zayo, nokuze ningamukeli okwezinhlupho zayo.
5Ngokuba izono zalo zifinyelele ezulwini, noNkulunkulu ukhumbulile ukungalungi kwalo.
6Linikeni njengalokho lanivuza, niligcwalise ngokuphindwe kabili ngokwemisebenzi yalo;
7Ngalokho elizikhazimulise ngakhona, lazithokozisa, mnikeni ukuhlushwa nokudabuka okungaka, ngokuba lithi enhliziyweni yalo: ‘Ngihlezi ngiyindlovukazi, angisuye umfelokazi, futhi angiyikubona ukudabuka.’
8Ngakho-ke izinhlupho zalo ziyakufika ngalusuku lunye, ukufa, nokulila, nendlala; iyakushiswa nokushiswa ngomlilo, ngokuba inamandla iNkosi uJehova owahlulelayo.
9Lamakhosi omhlaba aphingayo laye aphile kamnandi laye, azakulilela, alilele, lapho ebona intuthu yokutshiswa kwayo;
10emi khatshana ngokwesaba ukuhlutshwa kwalo, esithi: Maye, maye, umuzi omkhulu iBhabhiloni, umuzi onamandla! ngoba ngehora elilodwa ukwahlulela kwakho kufike.
11Abathengisi bomhlaba bayakulila, balikhalele; ngoba akusekho muntu othenga impahla yabo.
12Ukuthengiswa kwegolide, nesiliva, namatshe anenani, namaparele, nelineni elicolekileyo, nokububende, nosilika, nokubomvu, nazo zonke izigodo zakho, nezitsha zonke zophondo lwendlovu, nezitsha zonke zokhuni oluyigugu; neyethusi, nensimbi, netshe letsheba;
13nesinamoni, nempepho, namafutha okugcoba, nenhlaka, newayini, namafutha, nempuphu ecolekileyo, nokolweni, nezinkomo, nezimvu, namahhashi, nezinqola, nezinceku, nemiphefumulo yabantu.
14Nezithelo umphefumulo wakho ozifisayo zimukile kuwe, nakho konke okumnandi nokubukekayo kumuka kuwe, awusayikuzithola nhlobo.
15Abathengisi balezo zinto abacetshiswa ngalo bayakuma kude ngokwesaba ukuhlushwa kwalo, bekhala belila;
16bethi: “Maye, maye, umuzi omkhulu owawumbethe ilineni elicolekileyo, nokububende, nokubomvu, uhlotshiswe ngegolide, namatshe anenani, namaparele!
17Ngokuba ngehora linye ingcebo engaka isichithiwe. Bonke abaqhubi bemikhumbi, nesixuku sonke semikhumbi, namatilosi, nabo bonke abahweba olwandle bema kude;
18Bamemeza bebona umusi wokushiswa kwalo, bethi: “Ngumuphi umuzi ofana nalo muzi omkhulu na?
19Base bethela uthuli emakhanda abo, bamemeza bekhala, belila, bethi: “Maye, maye, muzi omkhulu, lapho kwacetshiswa khona bonke ababenemikhumbi olwandle ngenxa yokubiza kwawo okuhle! ngoba ngehora elilodwa selichithekile.
20Thokoza ngawo wena zulu, nani baphostoli abangcwele, nani baprofethi; ngoba uNkulunkulu ukuphindisele kulo.
21Ingelosi enamandla yafukula itshe elinjengelokusila elikhulu, yaliphonsa olwandle, ithi: “Kanjalo iBabiloni umuzi omkhulu liyakuphonswa phansi ngamandla, lingabe lisafunyanwa.
22Izwi lababetha amahabhu, nabahlabeleli, nabashaya imitshingo, nabamacilongo alisayikuzwakala kuwe nakanye; kayisayikutholwa kuwe ngcweti yanoma yimuphi umsebenzi oyiwo; umsindo wetshe lokugaya awusayikuzwakala kuwe nakanye;
23Nokukhanya kwesibani akusayikukhanya kuwe nakanye; nezwi lomyeni nelomlobokazi alisayikuzwakala kuwe nakanye; ngokuba ngobuthakathi bakho izizwe zonke zikhohlisiwe.
24Kuyo kwafunyanwa igazi labaprofethi, nelabangcwele, nelabo bonke ababulawa emhlabeni.
