< Hezekiel 23 >
1 Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,
Ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi futhi lisithi:
2 “Ame vi, nyɔnu eve aɖewo, dada ɖeka ƒe vinyɔnuviwo nɔ anyi.
Ndodana yomuntu, kwakulabesifazana ababili, amadodakazi omfazi oyedwa.
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.
Basebesenza ubuwule eGibhithe; benza ubuwule ebutsheni babo; amabele abo abotozwa khonapho, lengono zobuntombi babo zacindezelwa khonapho.
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.
Lamabizo abo ayenguOhola omdala, loOholiba umnawakhe. Njalo babengabami, bazala amadodana lamadodakazi. Lamabizo abo: UOhola uyiSamariya, loOholiba uyiJerusalema.
5 “Ohola nɔ gbolo wɔm le esime wòganye tɔnye ko, eye wòtiaa eƒe ahiãviwo yome vevie. Ame siawo nye aʋawɔlawo tso Asiria,
UOhola wasesenza ubuwule engaphansi kwami, wakhanuka izithandwa zakhe, amaAsiriya aseduze,
6 wodoa awu blɔtɔwo, wonye mɔmefiawo kple amegãwo, wonye nye ɖekakpui dzeɖekɛwo kple sɔdolawo.
agqoke okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, abalawulimabutho lababusi, bonke bengamajaha aloyisekayo, abagadi bamabhiza begade 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.
Ngokunjalo wanika ubuwule bakhe kubo, bonke belikhethelo labantwana beAsiriya, lakubo bonke obakhanukayo; wazingcolisa ngazo zonke izithombe zabo.
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.
Futhi kabuyekelanga ubuwule bakhe abuya labo eGibhithe, ngoba ebutsheni bakhe balala laye, bona-ke bacindezela izingono zobuntombi bakhe, bathululela ukuphinga kwabo phezu kwakhe.
9 “Eya ta metsɔe na eƒe ahiãviwo, Asiriatɔwo, ame siwo yome wòtina vevie.
Ngakho ngamnikela esandleni sezithandwa zakhe, esandleni sabantwana beAsiriya ayebakhanuka.
10 Woɖe amamae, kplɔ via ŋutsuwo kple via nyɔnuwo dzoe, eye wowui kple yi. Ezu lodonya le nyɔnuwo dome, eye wohe to nɛ.
Bona baveza ubunqunu bakhe; bathatha amadodana lamadodakazi akhe, bambulala ngenkemba; wasesiba libizo phakathi kwabesifazana, lapho benza isahlulelo phezu kwakhe.
11 “Nɔvia nyɔnu Oholiba kpɔ nu sia, gake ede ŋgɔ le eƒe ŋutsuwo yometiti kple gbolowɔwɔ me wu nɔvia nyɔnu.
Kwathi umnawakhe uOholiba ekubona, wonakala ekukhanukeni kwakhe kulaye, lebuwuleni bakhe okwedlula ubuwule bukadadewabo.
12 Eya hã ti Asiriatɔwo, mɔmefiawo kple aʋafia gãwo, aʋawɔla, siwo le asrafowu me, sɔdolawo; ame siwo katã nye ɖekakpui dzeɖekɛwo yome.
Wakhanuka abantwana beAsiriya, abalawulimabutho lababusi abaseduze, abagqoke okupheleleyo, abagadi bamabhiza begade amabhiza, bonke bengamajaha akhanukekayo.
13 Mekpɔe be eya hã do gu eɖokui, eye wo ame eve la siaa to mɔ ɖeka ma.
Ngasengibona ukuthi ungcolisiwe; bobabili babelendlelanye.
14 “Gake eya gatsɔ gbolowɔwɔ yi ŋgɔe wu. Ekpɔ wota ŋutsuwo ɖe gli aɖe ŋu. Wota Babiloniatɔwo kple aŋɔ dzĩ,
Wasesengezelela ebuwuleni bakhe; lapho ebona abesilisa bebazwe ngokugujwa emdulini, izithombe zamaKhaladiya zibazwe ngokugujwa 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.
bebhince ibhanti ezinkalweni zabo, belamaqhiye alengayo emakhanda abo, bonke bekhangeleka beyiziphathamandla, umfanekiso wabantwana beBhabhiloni, beKhaladiya, ilizwe lokuzalwa kwabo.
16 Esi wòkpɔ wo ko la, wodzroe, eye wòdɔ amewo ɖe wo le Babilonia.
Wasebakhanuka ekubaboneni ngamehlo akhe, wathuma izithunywa kubo eKhaladiya.
17 Babiloniatɔwo do gui. Esi wodo gui vɔ la, etrɔ le wo yome kple dɔmedzoe.
Amadodana eBhabhiloni afika kuye embhedeni wothando, amngcolisa ngokuphinga kwawo, wasengcoliswa yiwo; khona umphefumulo wakhe wehlukaniswa lawo.
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.
Wasesembula ubuwule bakhe, wembula ubunqunu bakhe; khona umphefumulo wami wehlukaniswa laye, njengalokhu umphefumulo wami wehlukaniswa lodadewabo.
19 Ke egayi gbolowɔwɔ dzi wu esi wòɖo ŋku eƒe ɖetugbimeŋkekewo dzi, esime wònye gbolo le Egipte.
Kodwa wandisa ubuwule bakhe, ngokukhumbula izinsuku zobutsha bakhe afebe ngazo elizweni leGibhithe.
20 Le afi ma la, eti eƒe ahiãviwo yome. Woƒe ŋutsu le abe tedzitsuwo tɔ ene, eye woƒe ŋutsunu le abe sɔtsuwo tɔ ene.
Wasekhanuka izithandwa zabo, onyama yazo iyinyama yabobabhemi, lokukhihliza kwazo kuyikukhihliza kwamabhiza.
21 Ale ŋukpenanu siwo nèwɔ le wò ɖetugbime gadzro wò esime nènɔ Egipte, woli asi wò akɔnu, eye wolé wò ɖetugbimeno.
Ngokunjalo wena wakhumbula amanyala obutsha bakho, ekucindezelweni kwengono zakho ngamaGibhithe, ngenxa yamabele obutsha bakho.
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, wena Oholiba, itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngizavusa izithandwa zakho zimelane lawe, owehlukana lazo umphefumulo wakho, ngizilethe zimelane lawe zivela inhlangothi zonke;
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.
abantwana beBhabhiloni, lamaKhaladiya wonke, iPekodi, leShowa, leKowa, labo bonke abantwana beAsiriya kanye labo, bonke bengamajaha akhanukekayo, abalawulimabutho, lababusi, izinduna, labalodumo, 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.
Njalo bazakuza bemelene lawe belezikhali, izinqola, lamavili, langexuku labantu; bazamisa bemelene lawe ihawu lesihlangu lekhowa inhlangothi zonke; njalo ngizabeka isigwebo phambi kwabo, bakugwebe njengokwezigwebo zabo.
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.
Njalo ngizabeka ubukhwele bami bumelane lawe, bakuphathe ngolaka; bazasusa impumulo yakho lendlebe zakho, lensali yakho izakuwa ngenkemba; bona bazathatha amadodana lamadodakazi akho, lensali yakho izadliwa ngumlilo.
26 Woaɖe wò avɔwu ɖa le ŋuwò, eye woatsɔ wò sikanuwo adzoe.
Futhi bazakuhlubula izigqoko zakho, bathathe iziceciso 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.’
Ngokunjalo ngizaqeda amanyala akho kuwe, lobuwule bakho owasuka labo elizweni leGibhithe, ukuze ungabe uphakamisela amehlo akho kubo, ungabe usakhumbula iGibhithe.
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 itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngizakunikela esandleni salabo obazondayo, esandleni salabo umphefumulo wakho owehlukaniswe labo.
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
Njalo bazakuphatha ngenzondo, bathathe wonke umtshikatshika wakho, bakutshiye unqunu uze; lobunqunu bobuwule bakho buzakwembulwa, lamanyala akho lobuwule bakho.
30 he nu siawo va dziwò, elabena èdze dukɔwo yome, eye nèdo gu ɖokuiwò kple woƒe legbawo.
Lezizinto zizakwenziwa kuwe, ngoba ulandele abezizweni ngokuwula, langenxa yokuthi wangcoliswa ngezithombe zabo.
31 Èdze nɔviwò nyɔnu yome, eya ta matsɔ eƒe kplu ade asi na wò.’
Uhambile ngendlela kadadewenu; ngakho ngizanikela 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.
Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Uzanatha inkezo kadadewenu ezikileyo lebanzi; uzakuba yinhlekisa lokuklolodelwa; imumethe okunengi.
33 Ahamumu kple nuxaxa ayɔ mewò. Nɔviwò nyɔnu, Samaria, ƒe kplu nye tsɔtsrɔ̃ kple aƒedozuzu ƒe kplu.
Uzagcwala ukudakwa losizi, inkezo yesesabiso lencithakalo, inkezo kadadewenu iSamariya.
34 Ànoe wòavɔ le eme ƒiaƒiaƒia, aɖuɖɔ eƒe gbagbãwo eye nàde abi wò nowo ŋu. Aƒetɔ Yehowa be, yee gblɔe.
Yebo, uzayinatha, uyibhije, uphahlaze indengezi zayo, utshuphule amabele akho; ngoba ngikhulumile, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
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 itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ngoba ungikhohliwe, wangilahlela ngemva komhlana wakho, ngakho lawe thwala amanyala akho lobuwule bakho.
36 Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, ɖe nàdrɔ̃ ʋɔnu Ohola kple Oholiba mahã? Ekema tsɔ woƒe ŋukpenanuwɔwɔwo ɖo woƒe ŋkume,
INkosi yathi futhi kimi: Ndodana yomuntu, uzakwahlulela uOhola loOholiba yini? Yebo, batshele izinengiso zabo.
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 bafebile, legazi lisezandleni zabo, njalo bafebile lezithombe zabo, futhi lamadodana abo, abangizalele wona, bawadabulise emlilweni ukuthi abe yikudla.
38 Wogawɔ esia ɖe ŋunye. Le ɣeyiɣi ma ke me la, wodo gu nye kɔkɔeƒe la, eye wogblẽ kɔ ɖo na nye Dzudzɔgbewo.
Babuye benza lokhu kimi: Bangcolise indawo yami engcwele ngalolosuku, bangcolisa 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.
Ngoba sebebulalele izithombe zabo abantwana babo, basebengena ngalona lolosuku endaweni yami engcwele ukuthi bayingcolise; khangela-ke, benze njalo phakathi kwendlu 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.
Lalokho ukuthi bathumele kumadoda avela khatshana, okwathunywa kiwo isithunywa, khangela-ke, afika; owawagezelayo, wacomba amehlo akho, wazicecisa ngeziceciso.
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 okhazimulayo, letafula lalungiswa phambi kwawo, owabeka phezu kwalo 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.
Lelizwi lexuku elonwabileyo lalilaye; lakumadoda exuku labantu kwalethwa amaSabeya avela enkangala, afaka amasongo ezandleni zawo, lomqhele omuhle emakhanda awo.
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.’
Ngasengisithi kowesifazana owayeguge ngokufeba: Khathesi bazakwenza ubuwule laye, yena-ke labo.
44 Eye wodɔ egbɔ. Abe ale si ŋutsuwo dɔa gbolo gbɔ ene la, nenema wodɔ nyɔnu ŋukpenanuwɔla, Ohola kple Oholiba gbɔe.
Basebengena kuye, njengoba besiya kowesifazana oyisifebe; ngokunjalo bangena kuOhola lakuOholiba, abesifazana abalamanyala.
45 Ke ŋutsu dzɔdzɔewo ada nyɔnu ahasitɔwo kple ʋukɔɖilawo ƒe tohehe ɖe wo dzi, elabena wonye ahasitɔwo, eye ʋu ƒo asi na wo.
Kodwa amadoda alungileyo wona azabagweba, ngokwendlela yezifebekazi langendlela yabesifazana abachitha igazi; ngoba bayizifebekazi, njalo igazi lisezandleni zabo.
46 “Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Kplɔ ameha aɖe vɛ ɖe wo ŋu, eye nàtsɔ wo ade asi na ŋɔdzinuhaha.’
Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ngizabenyusela ixuku, ngibanikele babe yisesabiso njalo babe yimpango.
47 Ameha la aƒu kpe wo, eye woadza wo kple woƒe yiwo, woawu wo viŋutsuwo kple wo vinyɔnuwo, eye woatɔ dzo woƒe xɔwo.
Njalo ixuku lizabakhanda ngamatshe, libaqume ngezinkemba zalo, libulale amadodana abo 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.
Ngokunjalo ngizakwenza amanyala aphele elizweni, ukuze bonke abesifazana bafundiswe ukuthi bangenzi ngokwamanyala enu.
49 Miaxɔ miaƒe ŋukpenanuwɔwɔwo ƒe tohehe, eye miatsɔ miaƒe legbasubɔsubɔ ƒe nu vɔ̃ ƒe yomedzenu. Ekema mianya be nyee nye Aƒetɔ Yehowa.”
Ngokunjalo bazabeka amanyala enu phezu kwenu, lithwale izono zezithombe zenu. Lizakwazi-ke ukuthi ngiyiNkosi uJehova.
