Hezekiel 31
1 Le ƒe wuiɖekɛlia ƒe ɣleti etɔ̃lia ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ gbe la, Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,
Ngomnyaka wetshumi lanye, ngenyanga yesithathu ngosuku lwakuqala, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
2 “Ame vi, gblɔ na Farao, Egipte fia kple eƒe ame gbogboawo be, “Ame kae woate ŋu atsɔ asɔ kple wò le fianyenye me?
“Ndodana yomuntu, tshono kuFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe lakumaxuku akhe uthi: ‘Ngubani ongalinganiswa lawe ngobucwazicwazi?
3 Bu Asiria ŋu kpɔ. Enye sedati kpɔ le Lebanon. Eƒe atilɔ dzeaniwo keke tsyɔ ave la dzi. Ekɔ nyuie, kɔ wu ati bubuawo
Cabanga i-Asiriya, eyake yaba ngumsedari eLebhanoni, olamagatsha amahle embese ihlathi ngomthunzi; wawumude uphezulu le, isihloko sawo singaphezu kwamahlamvu avitshileyo.
4 Tsiwo na nunyiamewoe, tsitsetse goglowo na wòkɔ, woƒe tɔsisiwo tsa ƒo xlã ete, eye wodo eƒe alɔdzewo ɖe ati siwo katã le gbedzi la gbɔ.
Amanzi awondla, imithombo etshonayo yawenza wakhula waba mude; izifudlana zayo zageleza emaceleni esidindi sawo sonke, imisele yazo ayafika kuzozonke izihlahla zeganga.
5 Ale wògakɔ ɖe edzi wu ati bubuwo katã le gbea dzi. Eƒe alɔwo sɔ gbɔ ɖe edzi, eye eƒe alɔdzewo didi hekla ɖe tsi ƒe agbɔsɔsɔ ta.
Wawuphakeme kanjalo umude kulazo zonke izihlahla zeganga; ingatsha zawo zanda, ingatsha zawo zakhula zaba zinde zendlalekile ngenxa yobunengi bamanzi.
6 Dziƒoxeviwo katã wɔ atɔ ɖe eƒe alɔwo dzi, gbemelãwo katã dzi vi ɖe eƒe alɔwo te, eye dukɔ gãwo katã nɔ eƒe vɔvɔli te.
Zonke izinyoni zasemoyeni zakhela izidleke zazo ezingatsheni zawo, zonke izinyamazana zeganga zazalela ngaphansi kwezingatsha zawo; zonke izizwe ezinkulu zahlala emthunzini wawo.
7 Eɖi fia le eƒe nyonyo me, le eƒe alɔwo ƒe keke ta, elabena eƒe kewo le tsi sɔgbɔ me.
Wawunkanyazela ngobuhle bawo, ngezingatsha zawo ezendlalekileyo, ngoba impande zawo zazitshona phansi emanzini amanengi.
8 Sedati siwo nɔ Mawu ƒe abɔ me la mete ŋu ke ɖi kplii o, sesewu ƒe alɔwo mete ŋu de etɔwo nu o, eye womate ŋu atsɔ xetiwo ƒe alɔwo asɔ kple etɔwo o. Ati siwo katã nɔ Mawu ƒe abɔ me la, mede enu le nyonyo me o.
Imisedari esivandeni sikaNkulunkulu yayingeke ilingane lawo, kumbe izihlahla zemiphayini zibe lezingatsha ezingafana lezawo, akukho sihlahla esivandeni sikaNkulunkulu esasingaba sihle njengawo.
9 Mewɔe wònyo kple eƒe alɔdze geɖewo, eye wònye ŋubiã na ati siwo katã nɔ Edenbɔ, Mawu ƒe abɔ la me.
Ngawenza waba muhle ngezingatsha ezinengi, wahawukelwa yizihlahla zonke zase-Edeni esivandeni sikaNkulunkulu.
10 “Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Esi wòkɔ bobobo wu ati bubuwo, eye wòdana le eƒe kɔkɔ ta la,
Ngakho-ke nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngoba wawumude uphezulu le, isihloko sawo siphakamele ngaphezu kwezingatsha ezivitshileyo, njalo ngenxa yokuthi wawuziqhenya ngobude bawo,
11 metsɔe de asi na dukɔwo dziɖula be wòatu nu kplii ɖe eƒe ŋutasesẽ ta. Meɖee ɖe aga,
ngawunikela kumbusi wezizwe ukuba awuphathe ngokufanele ububi bawo. Ngawulahlela eceleni,
12 eye amedzro dukɔ si mekpɔa nublanui kura o la tsɔe ƒu anyi hedzo le egbɔ. Eƒe alɔdzewo dze towo kple balimewo katã dzi; eƒe alɔdzewo ŋe, kaka ɖe anyigba la katã dzi. Dukɔwo katã le anyigba dzi do le eƒe vɔvɔli te, eye wogblẽe ɖi.
njalo isizwe sasezizweni esilesihluku kulazo zonke sawucakazela phansi sawutshiya. Ingatsha zawo zawela phezu kwezintaba lasezigodini zonke, amagatsha awo ephukela ezindongeni zonke zelizwe. Zonke izizwe zasemhlabeni zasuka emthunzini wawo zawutshiya.
13 Dziƒoxeviwo katã dze ɖe ati si mu la dzi, eye gbemelãwo katã nɔ eƒe alɔdzewo dome.
Zonke izinyoni zasemoyeni zahlala phezu kwesihlahla esiwileyo, lezinyamazana zonke zeganga zaziphakathi kwezingatsha zaso.
14 Eya ta ati bubu siwo le tsiwo to la dometɔ aɖeke magada le eƒe kɔkɔ ta o, eye woƒe ɖɔme magakɔ wu avemeti bubuawo tɔwo o. Ati bubu siwo le tsiwo to la magade dzi nenema o. Ele na wo katã be woaku kokoko ayi tome, anɔ ame kukuwo dome kple ame siwo ayi aʋlime.’
Ngakho kazikho ezinye izihlahla ngasemanzini ezizaphakama ngokuziqhenya phezulu le, zifikise izihloko zazo ngaphezu kwezingatsha. Kazikho ezinye izihlahla ezizuza amanzi kuhle kanjalo ezizake zifike phezulu kangako; zonke zimiselwe ukufa, emhlabeni ongaphansi, phakathi kwabantu abafayo, kanye lalabo abehlela egodini.
15 “Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Gbe si gbe wokɔe de yɔdo me la, mena tsi dzidzi goglowo fa konyi ɖe wo ta. Eya ta meda viviti ɖe Lebanon dzi, eye ati siwo katã le gbedzi la ku. (Sheol h7585)
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngosuku owehliselwa ngalo engcwabeni, ngavala imithombo etshonayo ngokulilelwa kwawo, ngamisa izifudlana zawo, lamanzi awo amanengi avinjelwa. Ngenxa yawo ngembesa iLebhanoni ngomnyama, njalo zonke izihlahla zeganga zabuna. (Sheol h7585)
16 Mena eƒe anyidzedze ƒe ɖiɖi na dukɔwo dzo nyanyanya, esi mena wòge ɖe yɔdo me kple ame siwo yi aʋlime. Ekema atiwo katã le Eden, Lebanon ƒe ati nyuitɔwo, ati siwo katã ŋu tsi nɔ nyuie, wofa akɔ na wo katã le aʋlime. (Sheol h7585)
Ngenza izizwe zathuthunyeliswa ngumdumo wokuwa kwawo lapha ngawehlisela phansi engcwabeni kanye lalabo abehlela phansi egodini. Lapho-ke zonke izihlahla zase-Edeni, ezikhethekileyo lezinhle kakhulu zaseLebhanoni, zonke izihlahla ezazithola amanzi kuhle, zaduduzeka ngaphansi komhlaba. (Sheol h7585)
17 Ame siwo nɔ eƒe vɔvɔli te, ame siwo wòtsɔ aʋae le dukɔwo dome la, hã yi yɔdo me kplii, kpe ɖe ame siwo tsi yinu la ŋuti. (Sheol h7585)
Labo ababehlala emthunzini wawo, ababevumelana lawo phakathi kwezizwe, basebehlele phansi engcwabeni kanye lawo, bahlangana lalabo ababulawa ngenkemba. (Sheol h7585)
18 “‘Ati siwo nɔ Eden la dometɔ kae woatsɔ asɔ kpli wò le nyonyo kple fianyenye me? Ke woatsɔ wò hã akpe ɖe Eɖen ƒe atiwo ŋuti ade yɔdo me. Ànɔ aʋamatsomatsotɔwo dome, akpe ɖe ame siwo tsi yinu la ŋuti. “‘Ame siawoe nye Farao kple eƒe ame gbogboawo’ Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.”
Yisiphi sezihlahla zase-Edeni esingafaniswa lawe ngobuhle langobucwazicwazi na? Ikanti lawe futhi uzakwehliselwa phansi ngaphansi komhlaba kanye lezihlahla zase-Edeni; uzalala phakathi kwabangasokanga, lalabo ababulawa ngenkemba. Lo nguFaro kanye lamaxuku akhe wonke, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.’”
