Hezekiel 23
1 Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,
Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
2 “Ame vi, nyɔnu eve aɖewo, dada ɖeka ƒe vinyɔnuviwo nɔ anyi.
“Ndodana yomuntu, kwakulabesifazane ababili, amadodakazi omfazi munye.
3 Wozu gbolowo le Egipte, eye wowɔ gbolo tso keke woƒe ɖetugbime ke. Le anyigba ma dzi la, wolé no na wo, eye woli asi woƒe akɔnu.
Baba yizifebe eGibhithe, beqalise ubuwule kusukela ebutsheni babo. Kulelolizwe amabele abo abanjwabanjwa lengaphambili yabo yaphathwaphathwa.
4 Tsitsitɔ ŋkɔe nye Ohola, eye nɔvia tɔe nye Oholiba. Wonye tɔnyewo, eye wodzi viŋutsuwo kple vinyɔnuwo nam. Oholae nye Samaria, eye Oholiba nye Yerusalem.
Omdala wayethiwa ngu-Ohola, umnawakhe engu-Oholibha. Babengabami njalo bazala amadodana lamadodakazi. U-Ohola yiSamariya, u-Oholibha kuyiJerusalema.
5 “Ohola nɔ gbolo wɔm le esime wòganye tɔnye ko, eye wòtiaa eƒe ahiãviwo yome vevie. Ame siawo nye aʋawɔlawo tso Asiria,
U-Ohola waqalisa ubuwule esesengowami; njalo wakhanuka izithandwa zakhe, ama-Asiriya, amabutho
6 wodoa awu blɔtɔwo, wonye mɔmefiawo kple amegãwo, wonye nye ɖekakpui dzeɖekɛwo kple sɔdolawo.
agqoke okulifefe, ababusi kanye labalawuli bebutho, bonke babengamajaha amahle, kanye labagada amabhiza.
7 Etsɔ eɖokui abe gbolo ene na Asiriatɔwo ƒe ame ŋkutawo katã, eye wòtsɔ ame sia ame si yome wòtina vevie la ƒe legbawo do gu eɖokui.
Wazinikela njengesifebe kubo bonke abaphakemeyo base-Asiriya njalo wazingcolisa ngezithombe zabo bonke abakhanukayo.
8 Meɖe asi le gbolowɔwɔ si gɔme wòdze le Egipte la ŋu o. Le eƒe ɖetugbime la, ŋutsuwo dɔna kplii, lia asi eƒe akɔnu hewɔa ahasi kplii vivivo.
Kabudelanga ubufebe abuqalisa eGibhithe, lapho amajaha alala laye ebutsheni bakhe, ambambabamba ngaphambili, athululela lezinkanuko zawo phezu kwakhe.
9 “Eya ta metsɔe na eƒe ahiãviwo, Asiriatɔwo, ame siwo yome wòtina vevie.
Ngakho ngamnikela kuzithandwa zakhe, ama-Asiriya, ayewakhanuka.
10 Woɖe amamae, kplɔ via ŋutsuwo kple via nyɔnuwo dzoe, eye wowui kple yi. Ezu lodonya le nyɔnuwo dome, eye wohe to nɛ.
Amnqunula, athatha amadodana lamadodakazi akhe yena ambulala ngenkemba. Waba yisiga phakathi kwabesifazane, wajeziswa.
11 “Nɔvia nyɔnu Oholiba kpɔ nu sia, gake ede ŋgɔ le eƒe ŋutsuwo yometiti kple gbolowɔwɔ me wu nɔvia nyɔnu.
Umnawakhe u-Oholibha wakubona lokhu, kodwa ngenkanuko lobufebe bakhe wayexhwale kakhulu kulodadewabo.
12 Eya hã ti Asiriatɔwo, mɔmefiawo kple aʋafia gãwo, aʋawɔla, siwo le asrafowu me, sɔdolawo; ame siwo katã nye ɖekakpui dzeɖekɛwo yome.
Laye wakhanuka ama-Asiriya, ababusi labalawuli bebutho, lamabutho agqoke okupheleleyo, labagadi bamabhiza, lawo wonke amajaha amahle.
13 Mekpɔe be eya hã do gu eɖokui, eye wo ame eve la siaa to mɔ ɖeka ma.
Ngabona ukuthi laye wazingcolisa; bobabili bahamba ndlelanye.
14 “Gake eya gatsɔ gbolowɔwɔ yi ŋgɔe wu. Ekpɔ wota ŋutsuwo ɖe gli aɖe ŋu. Wota Babiloniatɔwo kple aŋɔ dzĩ,
Kodwa yena ubufebe bakhe bengezeleleka futhi. Wabona amadoda efanekisiwe emdulini, izithombe zamaKhaladiya ezifanekiswe ngokubomvu,
15 alidziblanu le ali dzi na wo, eye tablanu gã le ta na wo. Wo katã woɖi Babiloniatɔwo ƒe tasiaɖamkulawo ƒe amegãwo, eye wonye Babiloniatɔwo.
zilamabhanti ezinkalweni zazo njalo zilamaqhiye alengayo emakhanda azo; zonke zikhanya angathi yizikhulu zezinqola zempi zamaKhaladiya, inzalo yaseBhabhiloni.
16 Esi wòkpɔ wo ko la, wodzroe, eye wòdɔ amewo ɖe wo le Babilonia.
Kwathi khonokho nje ebabona wahle wabafisa wasethuma isithunywa kubo eKhaladiya.
17 Babiloniatɔwo do gui. Esi wodo gui vɔ la, etrɔ le wo yome kple dɔmedzoe.
Ngakho amaBhabhiloni afika kuye, alala laye, njalo ezinkanukweni zawo amngcolisa. Emva kokuba esengcoliswe yiwo, wasuka kuwo enengekile.
18 Esi wòyi eƒe gbolowɔwɔ dzi le gaglãgbe, eye wòɖe amama fia amewo ta la, meɖe asi le eŋu kple dɔmedzoe abe ale si meɖe asi le nɔvia nyɔnu ŋu kple dɔmedzoe ene.
Kwathi lapho esesenza ubufebe bakhe obala njalo eveza lobunqunu bakhe, ngasuka kuye nginengekile, njengoba ngangisukile kudadewabo.
19 Ke egayi gbolowɔwɔ dzi wu esi wòɖo ŋku eƒe ɖetugbimeŋkekewo dzi, esime wònye gbolo le Egipte.
Kodwa banda ngamandla ubuwule bakhe esekhumbula insuku zobutsha bakhe, lapho wayeyisifebe eGibhithe.
20 Le afi ma la, eti eƒe ahiãviwo yome. Woƒe ŋutsu le abe tedzitsuwo tɔ ene, eye woƒe ŋutsunu le abe sɔtsuwo tɔ ene.
Khonale wakhanuka izithandwa zakhe, ezazilezitho zangaphambili ezazifana lezabobabhemi, zikhihliza okufana lokwamabhiza.
21 Ale ŋukpenanu siwo nèwɔ le wò ɖetugbime gadzro wò esime nènɔ Egipte, woli asi wò akɔnu, eye wolé wò ɖetugbimeno.
Ngakho walangazela isagweba sasebutsheni bakho, lapho okwathi useGibhithe isifuba lamabele akho kwabanjwabanjwa.
22 “Eya ta Oholiba, ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye si, ‘Made ada ta me na wò ahiãviwo, ame siwo yome nètrɔ le kple dɔmedzoe, eye makplɔ wo vɛ woatso ɖe ŋuwò tso axa ɖe sia ɖe dzi.
Ngakho-ke, Oholibha, nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngizakwenza izithandwa zakho zikuvukele, lezo owazitshiya unengekile, njalo ngizaziletha kuwe ukuba zimelane lawe zivela emaceleni wonke,
23 Babiloniatɔwo, ame siwo katã tso Babilonianyigba dzi, ŋutsuwo tso Pekod kple Soa kple Koa kple Asiriatɔwo katã, kpe ɖe wo ŋu. Wonye ɖekakpui dzeɖekɛwo. Wo katã wonye mɔmefiawo, dumegãwo, tasiaɖamkulawo ƒe amegãwo kple ame ŋkutawo, eye wo katã woganye sɔdolawo.
abaseBhabhiloni lamaKhaladiya wonke, amadoda asePhekhodi laseShowa kanye leKhowa, lama-Asiriya wonke elawo, amajaha amahle, wonke angababusi labalawuli bebutho, izinduna zezinqola zempi lamanye amadoda alezikhundla ezinkulu, bonke begade amabhiza.
24 Woatsɔ aʋawɔnuwo ɖe ŋuwò ava tu wò kple tasiaɖamwo, kekewo kple ameha gã aɖe. Woanɔ axa ɖe sia ɖe dzi, atsi tsitre ɖe ŋuwò kple akpoxɔnu gãwo kple suewo kple gakukuwo. Matsɔ wò ade asi na wo hena tohehe, eye woahe to na wò le woƒe sewo nu.
Bazakuzakuhlasela ngezikhali, izinqola zempi lezinqola zokuthwala, njalo belexuku elikhulu labantu; bazaviva ukulwa lawe emaceleni wonke belamahawu amakhulu lamancane njalo belezingowane. Ngizakunikela kubo ukuba bakujezise, njalo bazakujezisa ngokumayelana lemithetho yabo.
25 Matrɔ nye ŋuʋaʋã ƒe dɔmedzoe ɖe ŋuwò, eye woatu nu kpli wò kple dɔmedzoe. Woakpa ŋɔti kple towo na wò, eye mia dometɔ siwo atsi anyi la, atsi yinu. Woakplɔ viwò ŋutsuwo kple viwò nyɔnuwo adzoe, eye dzo afia mi ame siwo asusɔ.
Ngizakwenza intukuthelo yobukhwele bami imelane lawe, njalo bazakuphatha ngolaka. Bazaquma impumulo zenu lezindlebe zenu, njalo abenu labo abazasala bazabulawa ngenkemba. Bazathumba amadodana enu lamadodakazi, njalo abenu labo abazasala bazaqothulwa ngumlilo.
26 Woaɖe wò avɔwu ɖa le ŋuwò, eye woatsɔ wò sikanuwo adzoe.
Njalo bazakuhlubula izigqoko zakho bathathe leziceciso zakho ezinhle.
27 Ale matɔ te ŋukpenanuwo wɔwɔ kple gbolowɔwɔ si gɔme nèdze le Egipte. Nu siawo magadzro wò o, eye màgaɖo ŋku Egipte dzi azɔ o.’
Kanjalo-ke ngizaqeda isagweba lobufebe owabuqalisela eGibhithe. Kawuyikukhangela lezizinto uzikhanuke loba ukhumbule iGibhithe futhi.
28 “Elabena alea Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye si, ‘Esusɔ vie matsɔ wò ade asi na ame siwo nèlé fui, ame siwo yome nètrɔ le kple dɔmedzoe.
Ngoba nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Sekuseduze ukuba ngikunikele kulabo abakuzondayo, kulabo owasuka kubo unengekile.
29 Woatu nu kpli wò kple fuléle, eye woatsɔ wò nu siwo katã nèwɔ dɔ hekpɔ la adzoe. Woagblẽ wò ɖi nànɔ amama, anɔ ƒuƒlu, eye woahe wò gbolowɔwɔ ƒe ŋukpe ɖe go. Wò ŋukpenanuwo wɔwɔ kple gbolowɔwɔ woe
Bazakuphatha ngenzondo njalo bathumbe yonke into owayisebenzelayo. Bazakutshiya unqunu uze, njalo ihlazo lobufebe bakho lizavela obala. Isagweba sakho lobufebe
30 he nu siawo va dziwò, elabena èdze dukɔwo yome, eye nèdo gu ɖokuiwò kple woƒe legbawo.
kwehlisele lokhu phezu kwakho, ngoba ufebe lezizwe, wazingcolisa wena ngokwakho ngezithombe zazo.
31 Èdze nɔviwò nyɔnu yome, eya ta matsɔ eƒe kplu ade asi na wò.’
Ulandele indlela kadadewenu; ngakho ngizabeka inkezo yakhe esandleni sakho.
32 “Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye si, “Àno nɔviwò nyɔnu ƒe kplu, kplu si lolo, eye wòde eme, ahe vlododo kple koko vɛ, elabena nu geɖewo le eme.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Uzanatha inkezo kadadewenu, inkezo enkulu ezikileyo futhi; izaletha ukuhlekwa lokuklolodelwa, ngoba ithwele lukhulu.
33 Ahamumu kple nuxaxa ayɔ mewò. Nɔviwò nyɔnu, Samaria, ƒe kplu nye tsɔtsrɔ̃ kple aƒedozuzu ƒe kplu.
Uzakhulelwa yikudakwa losizi, inkezo yokuchitheka lokuphundleka, inkezo kadadewenu iSamariya.
34 Ànoe wòavɔ le eme ƒiaƒiaƒia, aɖuɖɔ eƒe gbagbãwo eye nàde abi wò nowo ŋu. Aƒetɔ Yehowa be, yee gblɔe.
Uzayinatha uyibhije; uzayiphahlaza ibe yizicucu ufucuze amabele akho. Sengikhulumile, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
35 “Eya ta ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Esi nèŋlɔm be, eye nètsɔm ƒu gbe ɖe megbe ta la, ele na wò be nàtsɔ wò ŋukpenanuwɔwɔwo kple wò gbolowɔwɔ ƒe yomedzenuwo.”
Ngakho nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Njengoba usungikhohliwe wangifuqela ngemva kwakho, kumele uthwale imivuzo yesagweba sakho kanye lobufebe bakho.”
36 Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, ɖe nàdrɔ̃ ʋɔnu Ohola kple Oholiba mahã? Ekema tsɔ woƒe ŋukpenanuwɔwɔwo ɖo woƒe ŋkume,
UThixo wathi kimi: “Ndodana yomuntu, uzakwahlulela u-Ohola lo-Oholibha na? Ngakho melana labo ngezenzo zabo ezinengayo,
37 elabena wowɔ ahasi, eye ʋu ƒo asi na wo. Wowɔ ahasi kple woƒe legbawo; wotsɔ wo vi siwo wodzi nam la sa vɔe gɔ̃ hã abe nuɖuɖu na woƒe legbawo ene.
ngoba benze ubufebe njalo lezandla zabo zilegazi. Bafeba lezithombe zabo; banikela labantwana babo ababengizalele bona, njengokudla kuzo.
38 Wogawɔ esia ɖe ŋunye. Le ɣeyiɣi ma ke me la, wodo gu nye kɔkɔeƒe la, eye wogblẽ kɔ ɖo na nye Dzudzɔgbewo.
Njalo benze lokhu kimi: Ngasonaleso isikhathi bangcolisa indlu yami engcwele batshaphaza lamaSabatha ami.
39 Le ŋkeke si dzi wotsɔ wo viwo sa vɔe na woƒe legbawo la, gbe ma gbe tututue woge ɖe nye kɔkɔeƒe la, eye wodo gui. Nu mae wowɔ le nye aƒe me.
Ngalo kanye usuku abanikela ngalo abantwana babo ezithombeni zabo, bangena endlini yami engcwele bayingcolisa. Lokho yikho abakwenzayo endlini yami.
40 “Gawu la, woɖo du ɖe ŋutsuwo, ame siwo va tso didiƒe, eye esi wova ɖo la, miele tsi na mia ɖokuiwo, miesi nu yibɔ ɖe miaƒe aɖaba te, eye miede miaƒe sikanuwo.
Bathuma lesithunywa ebantwini ukuba beze bevela khatshana, kwathi sebefikile wabagezela, wacomba amehlo akho wasufaka leziceciso zakho.
41 Mienɔ anyi ɖe nye abati nyuitɔ dzi, kplɔ̃ le eŋgɔ, kplɔ̃ si dzi míetsɔ dzudzɔdonu kple ami siwo nye tɔnye la da ɖo.
Wahlala embhedeni omuhle, kuletafula elilungisiweyo phambi kwawo owawufake phezu kwayo impepha yami lamafutha ami.
42 “Ameha aɖe ƒe howɔwɔ ƒo xlãe. Wokplɔ Sabeatɔwo tso gbegbe kpli wo vɛ, eye wotsɔ abɔgɛwo de abɔwo na nyɔnu la kple nɔvia nyɔnu, eye woɖɔ fiakuku dzeaniwo na wo.
Umsindo wexuku elalithokoza wawumzungezile; amaSebhiya ayelethwe evela enkangala kanye lamadoda avela exukwini elixokozelayo, njalo bafaka amasongo ezingalweni zowesifazane lodadewabo kanye lemiqhele emihle emakhanda abo.
43 Megblɔ tso ame si ŋu wɔna vɔ le le ahasiwɔwɔ ta be, ‘Azɔ la, mina woazãe abe gbolo ene, elabena eya koe nye nu si wònye.’
Lapho-ke ngalowo owayesegugiswe yibufebe ngathi, ‘Khathesi kabamsebenzise njengewule, ngoba lokho yikho konke ayikho.’
44 Eye wodɔ egbɔ. Abe ale si ŋutsuwo dɔa gbolo gbɔ ene la, nenema wodɔ nyɔnu ŋukpenanuwɔla, Ohola kple Oholiba gbɔe.
Balala laye. Njengabesilisa belala lesifebe, ngokunjalo balala lalabobafazi abalesagweba, u-Ohola lo-Oholibha.
45 Ke ŋutsu dzɔdzɔewo ada nyɔnu ahasitɔwo kple ʋukɔɖilawo ƒe tohehe ɖe wo dzi, elabena wonye ahasitɔwo, eye ʋu ƒo asi na wo.
Kodwa abantu abalungileyo bazabanika isijeziso sabesifazane abafebayo njalo bachithe legazi, ngoba bayizifebe njalo lezandla zabo zilegazi.
46 “Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Kplɔ ameha aɖe vɛ ɖe wo ŋu, eye nàtsɔ wo ade asi na ŋɔdzinuhaha.’
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Baletheleni ixuku limelane labo beselibanikela kukho ukwesaba lokuphangwa.
47 Ameha la aƒu kpe wo, eye woadza wo kple woƒe yiwo, woawu wo viŋutsuwo kple wo vinyɔnuwo, eye woatɔ dzo woƒe xɔwo.
Ixuku lizabatshaya ngamatshe libajuqe ngezinkemba; lizabulala amadodana lamadodakazi abo litshise izindlu zabo ngomlilo.
48 “Ale matsi ŋukpenanuwɔwɔ nu le anyigba la dzi, ale be nyɔnuwo katã nakpɔ nuxɔxlɔ̃, eye womaganɔ agbe abe woawo ene o.
Ngizakuqeda kanjalo ukuxhwala elizweni, ukuze bonke abesifazane baxwayiseke njalo bangenzi njengani.
49 Miaxɔ miaƒe ŋukpenanuwɔwɔwo ƒe tohehe, eye miatsɔ miaƒe legbasubɔsubɔ ƒe nu vɔ̃ ƒe yomedzenu. Ekema mianya be nyee nye Aƒetɔ Yehowa.”
Lizajeziselwa ukuxhwala kwenu njalo lithwale lemivuzo yezono zenu zokukhonza izithombe. Lapho-ke lizakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo Wobukhosi.”
