Ezekiel 11
1 Then a spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD'S house, which looketh eastward; and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; and I saw in the midst of them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
Ipapo Mweya wakandisimudza ukaenda neni pasuo reimba yaJehovha rakatarira kumabvazuva. Pamukova wesuo ipapo, pakanga pane varume makumi maviri navashanu, uye ndakaona pakati pavo Jaazania mwanakomana waAzuri naPeratia mwanakomana waBhenaya, vatungamiri vavanhu.
2 And He said unto me: 'Son of man, these are the men that devise iniquity, and that give wicked counsel in this city;
Jehovha akati kwandiri, “Mwanakomana womunhu, ava ndivo varume vanorangana zvakaipa nokupa mano akaipa muguta rino.
3 that say: The time is not near to build houses! this city is the caldron, and we are the flesh.
Vanoti, ‘Ko, nguva haisati yasvika here yokuvaka dzimba? Guta rino ihari yokubikira, uye isu tisu nyama.’
4 Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.'
Naizvozvo profita pamusoro pavo; profita, mwanakomana womunhu.”
5 And the spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and He said unto me: 'Speak: Thus saith the LORD: Thus have ye said, O house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.
Ipapo Mweya waJehovha wakauya pamusoro pangu, iye akanditaurira kuti nditi: “Zvanzi naJehovha: Ndizvo zvamunotaura, imi imba yaIsraeri, asi ndinoziva zvamunofunga mundangariro dzenyu.
6 Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain.
Makauraya vanhu vazhinji muguta rino uye mukazadza nzira dzaro nevakafa.
7 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron; but ye shall be brought forth out of the midst of it.
“Naizvozvo zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Zvitunha zvamakandamo ndiyo nyama uye guta rino ndiyo hari, asi ini ndichakubudisai mariri.
8 Ye have feared the sword; and the sword will I bring upon you, saith the Lord GOD.
Munotya munondo, zvino munondo ndiwo wandichauyisa kuzokurwisai, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.
9 And I will bring you forth out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
Ndichakubudisai kunze kweguta ndigokuisai mumaoko avatorwa uye ndichakurangai.
10 Ye shall fall by the sword: I will judge you upon the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Muchaurayiwa nomunondo, uye ini ndichakutongai pamiganhu yaIsraeri. Ipapo muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.
11 Though this city shall not be your caldron, ye shall be the flesh in the midst thereof; I will judge you upon the border of Israel;
Guta rino haringavi hari kwamuri, nemi hamungavi nyama mariri; ndichakutongai ini pamiganhu yeIsraeri.
12 and ye shall know that I am the LORD; for ye have not walked in My statutes, neither have ye executed Mine ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are round about you.'
Uye muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha, nokuti hamuna kutevera mitemo yangu kana kuchengeta mirayiro yangu asi makafamba netsika dzendudzi dzakakupoteredzai.”
13 And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said: 'Ah Lord GOD! wilt Thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?'
Zvino ndakati ndichiprofita, Peratia mwanakomana waBhenaya akafa. Ipapo ndakawira pasi nechiso ndikachema zvikuru ndichiti, “Haiwa Ishe Jehovha! Ko, muchaparadza chose vakasara vaIsraeri here?”
14 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri, richiti,
15 'Son of man, as for thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel, all of them, concerning whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said: Get you far from the LORD! unto us is this land given for a possession;
“Mwanakomana womunhu, hama dzako, hama dzako dzeropa neimba yose yaIsraeri, ndivo vainzi navanhu veJerusarema, ‘Vari kure kwazvo naJehovha; nyika ino takaipiwa kuti ive yedu.’
16 therefore say: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Although I have removed them far off among the nations, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet have I been to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they are come;
“Naizvozvo uti, ‘Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Kunyange ndakavaendesa kure pakati pendudzi uye ndikavaparadzira pakati penyika, asi kwechinguva chiduku ndakanga ndiri nzvimbo yavo tsvene munyika dzavakaenda.’
17 therefore say: Thus saith the Lord GOD: I will even gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
“Naizvozvo uti, ‘Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Ndichakuunganidzai kubva kundudzi ndigokudzosai kubva kunyika dzamakanga makaparadzirwa uye ndichakupaizve nyika yaIsraeri.’
18 And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
“Vachadzokera kwairi vagobvisa zvifananidzo zvayo zvose zvakaipisisa nezvifananidzo zvinonyangadza.
19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh;
Ndichavapa mwoyo mumwe uye ndichaisa mweya mutsva mukati mavo; ndichabvisa mwoyo webwe mukati mavo ndigovapa mwoyo wenyama.
20 that they may walk in My statutes, and keep Mine ordinances, and do them; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God.
Ipapo vachatevera mitemo yangu uye vachachenjerera kuchengeta mirayiro yangu. Vachava vanhu vangu, uye ini ndichava Mwari wavo.
21 But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD.'
Asi kana vari vaya vane mwoyo inotevera zvakaumbwa zvavo zvakaipisisa nezvifananidzo zvinonyangadza, ndichaburutsa pamisoro yavo chaiyo zvavakaita, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.”
22 Then did the cherubim lift up their wings, and the wheels were beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
Ipapo makerubhi namavhiri parutivi pawo akatambanudza mapapiro awo, uye kubwinya kwaMwari waIsraeri kwakanga kuri pamusoro pawo.
23 And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
Kubwinya kwaJehovha kwakakwira kuchibva mukati meguta kukandomira pamusoro pegomo nechokumabvazuva kwaro.
24 And a spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from Me.
Mweya wakandisimudza ukaenda neni kuna vakatapwa vari muBhabhironi muchiratidzo chakapiwa noMweya waMwari. Ipapo chiratidzo chandakanga ndaona chakakwidzwa kubva pandiri,
25 Then I spoke unto them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shown me.
uye ndakaudza vakatapwa zvinhu zvose zvandakaratidzwa naJehovha.
