< Hezekiel 11 >
1 Tete Gbɔgbɔ la kɔm ɖe dzi, eye wòkɔm yi Yehowa ƒe aƒe ƒe agbo si dze ŋgɔ ɣedzeƒe la nu. Ŋutsu blaeve vɔ atɔ̃ wonɔ agbo la nu, eye mekpɔ Yazania, Azur ƒe vi kple Pelatia, Benaya ƒe vi, ameawo nunɔlawo le ameawo dome.
Lapho-ke uMoya wangiphakamisela phezulu wangisa esangweni lendlu kaThixo elikhangele empumalanga. Khonapho ekungeneni kwesango kwakulamadoda angamatshumi amabili lanhlanu, njalo phakathi kwawo ngabona uJazaniya indodana ka-Azuri kanye loPhelathiya indodana kaBhenayiya, abakhokheli babantu.
2 Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, ame siawoe le nugbe ɖom ɖe dua ŋu, eye wole aɖaŋu vɔ̃ ɖom na amewo le dua me.
UThixo wathi kimi, “Ndodana yomuntu, laba yibo abantu abenza amacebo amabi, benika lezeluleko ezimbi kulelidolobho.
3 Wogblɔna be, ‘Menye ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe koe susɔ woatu xɔwo oa?’ Du sia nye nuɖaze aɖe, eye míawoe nye lã la.
Bathi, ‘Masinyane nje akuyikuba yiso na isikhathi sokwakha izindlu? Idolobho leli liyimbiza yokupheka, njalo thina siyinyama.’
4 Eya ta migblɔ nya ɖi ɖe wo ŋu; ame vi, gblɔ nya ɖi.”
Ngakho-ke phrofetha okubi ngabo; phrofetha ndodana yomuntu.”
5 Tete Yehowa ƒe Gbɔgbɔ va dzinye, eye wògblɔ nam be magblɔ be, “Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: nya ma gblɔm miele, O! Israel ƒe aƒe, ke menya nu siwo le miaƒe susu me.
Lapho-ke uMoya kaThixo weza kimi wangitshela ukuba ngithi, Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: “Lokho yikho wena okutshoyo, wena ndlu ka-Israyeli, kodwa mina ngiyakwazi okusengqondweni yakho.
6 Miewu ame geɖewo le du sia me, eye miaƒe ablɔwo dzi yɔ fũu kple ame kukuwo.
Sewabulala abantu abanengi phakathi kwedolobho leli wagcwalisa imigwaqo yalo ngabafileyo.”
7 “Eya ta ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Ame kuku siwo mietsɔ ƒu gbe ɖe afi ma lae nye lã la, eye du siae nye nuɖaze la, gake manya mi do goe le dua me.
Ngakho-ke nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: “Izidumbu oziphosele lapho ziyinyama njalo idolobho leli liyimbiza, kodwa wena ngizakuxotshela ngaphandle kwalo.
8 Mievɔ̃a yi, eye yie nye nu si matsɔ ɖe mia ŋu.’ Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
Inkemba uyayesaba, njalo inkemba yiyo engizayiletha ukuba imelane lawe, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
9 Manya mi do goe le dua me, ahatsɔ mi ade asi na amedzrowo, eye mahe to na mi.
Ngizakuxotshela ngaphandle kwedolobho ngikunikele kwabezizweni ngiphinde ngikujezise.
10 Miatsi yi nu, eye madrɔ̃ ʋɔnu mi le Israel ƒe liƒowo dzi. Ekema mianya be nyee nye Yehowa.
Uzabulawa ngenkemba, njalo ngizakwahlulela emingceleni yako-Israyeli. Lapho-ke uzakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.
11 Du sia manye nuɖaze na mi o alo mianye lã le eme o. Madrɔ̃ ʋɔnu mi le Israel ƒe liƒowo dzi,
Idolobho leli kaliyikuba yimbiza yakho, kumbe wena ube yinyama phakathi kwalo; ngizakwahlulela emingceleni yako-Israyeli.
12 eye mianya be nyee nye Yehowa, elabena miezɔ ɖe nye ɖoɖowo nu alo wɔ nye sewo dzi o, ke boŋ miewɔa nu siwo dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã mi la wɔna.”
Njalo uzakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo, ngoba izimiso zami kawuzilandelanga kumbe wagcina imithetho yami kodwa ulandele izenzo zezizwe ezikuhanqileyo.”
13 Azɔ la, esi menɔ nya gblɔm ɖi la, Pelatia, Benaya ƒe vi ku. Tete metsyɔ mo anyi hedo ɣli sesĩe be, “A! Aƒetɔ Yehowa! Ɖe nàtsrɔ̃ Israel ƒe ame mamlɛawo keŋkeŋua?”
Kwathi lapho ngisaphrofitha, uPhelathiya indodana kaBhenayiya wafa. Ngakho ngathi mbo phansi ngobuso ngakhala ngelizwi eliphezulu ngisithi, “Awu, Thixo Wobukhosi! Uzaqothula insalela ka-Israyeli na?”
14 Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,
Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
15 “Ame vi, nɔviwò siwo nye wò ŋutɔ wò ŋutilã kple ʋu le aboyome kpli wò kple Israel ƒe aƒe blibo la ŋue Yerusalemtɔwo gblɔ le be, ‘Wole adzɔge ke tso Yehowa gbɔ; wotsɔ anyigba sia na mí be wòanye míatɔ.’”
“Ndodana yomuntu, abafowenu, abafowenu abayizihlobo zakho zegazi kanye lendlu yonke ka-Israyeli, yibo labo abantu baseJerusalema abathe ngabo: ‘Bakhatshana loThixo kakhulu; ilizwe leli saliphiwa ukuba libe yilifa lethu.’”
16 “Eya ta gblɔ be, ‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye si: togbɔ be meɖo wo ɖe didiƒe, ɖe dukɔwo dome, eye mekaka wo ɖe anyigbawo dzi hã la, menye sitsoƒe na wo ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe le anyigba siwo dzi woyi.’
“Ngakho-ke wothi: ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Lanxa ngabasa khatshana phakathi kwezizwe njalo ngabahlakazela phakathi kwamazwe, ikanti okwesikhatshana ngibe yindlu engcwele kubo emazweni abaye kuwo.’
17 “Eya ta gblɔ be, ‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye si. Maƒo mia nu ƒu tso dukɔawo dome, makplɔ mi agbɔe tso anyigba siwo dzi wokaka mi ɖo, eye magatsɔ Israel ƒe anyigba ana mi.’
Ngakho-ke wothi: ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngizakubutha ezizweni ngikubuyise ngikususa emazweni owawuhlakazekele kuwo, njalo ngizakunika ilizwe lako-Israyeli futhi.’
18 “Woagbugbɔ va edzi, eye woaɖe eƒe aklamakpakpɛ maɖinuwo katã kple legba nyɔŋuwo katã ɖa.
Bazabuyela kulo basuse zonke izifanekiso zalo ezihlazisayo kanye lezithombe ezenyanyekayo.
19 Mana dzi si to mɔ ɖeka wo, eye made gbɔgbɔ yeye wo me. Maɖe kpedzi la ɖa le wo me, eye mana lãkusidzi wo.
Ngizabanika inhliziyo engehlukananga ngifake lomoya omutsha phakathi kwabo; ngizasusa kubo inhliziyo yabo yelitshe ngibaphe inhliziyo yenyama.
20 Ekema woalé nye ɖoɖowo me ɖe asi, eye woakpɔ egbɔ be, yewowɔ nye seawo dzi. Woanye nye amewo, eye manye woƒe Mawu.
Lapho-ke bazalandela izimiso zami baqaphele ukugcina imithetho yami. Bazakuba ngabantu bami, lami ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wabo.
21 Ke ame siwo ƒe dzi ku ɖe woƒe aklamakpakpɛ maɖinuwo kple legba nyɔŋuwo ŋu la, mana nu siwo wowɔ la nava woawo ŋutɔ ƒe ta dzi. Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.”
Kodwa labo abanhliziyo zabo zinikelwe ezifanekisweni zabo ezihlazisayo lasezithombeni ezenyanyekayo, lokhu abakwenzileyo ngizakwehlisela phezu kwamakhanda abo, kutsho Thixo Wobukhosi.”
22 Tete kerubiawo keke woƒe aʋalawo esime tasiaɖamfɔtiawo nɔ wo xa, eye Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe nɔ wo tame.
Lapho-ke amakherubhi, ayelamavili emaceleni, elula impiko zawo, njalo inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli yayingaphezu kwawo.
23 Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe yi dzi tso dua me, eye wòtɔ ɖe to si le dua ƒe ɣedzeƒe la tame.
Inkazimulo kaThixo yaya phezulu isuka phakathi kwedolobho yayakuma ngaphezu kwentaba ngasempumalanga kwedolobho.
24 Gbɔgbɔ la kɔm ɖe dzi hedam ɖe aboyome siwo nɔ Babilonia la dome le ŋutega si Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ na mekpɔ la me. Tete ŋutega si mekpɔ la, dzo le gbɔnye,
UMoya wangiphakamisela phezulu wangisa kwabathunjiweyo eBhabhiloni ngombono owawulethwe nguMoya kaNkulunkulu. Emva kwalokho umbono engangiwubonile wasuka kimi,
25 eye megblɔ nu siwo katã Yehowa ɖe fiam la na aboyomeawo.
ngasengitshela abathunjiweyo konke Thixo ayengitshengise khona.
