Hezekiel 15

1 Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,

Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kimi lisithi:

2 “Ame vi, aleke wainka nyo wu avemeti ƒe alɔe?

Ndodana yomuntu, isihlahla sevini siyini ngaphezu kwaso sonke isihlahla, kumbe ugatsha oluphakathi kwezihlahla zegusu?

3 Ɖe wokpɔa ati si woatsɔ awɔ nu si ŋu ŋudɔwɔnu aɖe le la le emea? Ɖe wowɔa tsyoti tso eme ne woate ŋu atsɔ nane aku ɖe eŋua?

Kuzathathwa kiso isigodo yini ukwenza umsebenzi? Bangathatha kiso isikhonkwane yini ukuthi balengise lasiphi isitsha kiso?

4 Eye ne wotsɔe de dzo me abe nake ene la, dzo la bina tso eƒe nugbɔ eve, eye wofiaa eƒe domedome, ekema ɖe ŋudɔwɔnu aɖe gale eŋua?

Khangela, siyanikelwa emlilweni sibe yikudla, umlilo uqede izihloko zaso zombili, lokuphakathi kwaso kutshiswe. Siselosizo kuwo umsebenzi yini?

5 Ne womete ŋu wɔ eŋu dɔ na naneke esime wònɔ blibo o la, aleke woate ŋu awɔ eŋu dɔ azɔ awɔ nane si ŋu ŋudɔwɔnu le esime dzo bii, eye wòzu aka?

Khangela, lapho sisaphelele, asenziwanga sibe ngumsebenzi; kuncane kangakanani lapho umlilo ususiqedile sesitshile sisezakwenziwa sibe ngumsebenzi!

6 “Eya ta aleae Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Ale si metsɔ wainti de avemetiwo dome abe nake ene la, nenema kee mawɔ ame siwo le Yerusalem.

Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Njengesihlahla sevini phakathi kwezihlahla zegusu, engisinikele emlilweni sibe yikudla, ngokunjalo ngizanikela abahlali beJerusalema.

7 Mana nye mo nanyra ɖe wo ŋu. Togbɔ be wodo le dzoa me hã la, dzo la agabi wo kokoko. Eye ne mena nye mo nyra ɖe wo ŋu hã la, mianya be, nyee nye Yehowa.

Ngoba ngizamisa ubuso bami bumelane labo; bazaphuma komunye umlilo kuthi omunye umlilo ubaqede; njalo lizakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi, sengimise ubuso bami bamelana labo.

8 Mana anyigba la nazu gbegbe, elabena wogbugbɔ le yonyeme.’ Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.”

Njalo ngizakwenza ilizwe libe lunxiwa, ngoba benze isiphambeko, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
