Hezekiel 36
1 “Ame vi, gblɔ nya ɖi ɖe Israel towo ŋu, eye nàgblɔ be, ‘O! Israel towo, mise Yehowa ƒe nya.
“Ndodana yomuntu, phrofetha kuzo izintaba zako-Israyeli uthi: ‘Lina zintaba zako-Israyeli, zwanini ilizwi likaThixo.
2 Aƒetɔ Yehowa be, futɔ la gblɔ tso ŋuwò be, “Ahã! Gbe aɖe gbe ƒe towo zu mía tɔ.”’
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Isitha satsho ngani sathi, “Awu! Iziqongo zasendulo sezibe yilifa lethu.”’
3 Eya ta gblɔ nya ɖi be, ‘Nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye be, esi wogblẽ mi, eye woɖe aɖutame ɖe mia ŋu le goawo katã me be miazu dukɔ mamlɛawo tɔ kple woƒe alɔmeɖenu kple ɖiŋudonu ta la,
Ngakho-ke phrofetha uthi, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngoba baliphanga njalo balixotsha bevela ezinhlangothini zonke laze laba yilifa lezinye izizwe lento yokunyeywa lokuchothozwa ngabantu,
4 eya ta, O! Israel towo, mise Aƒetɔ Yehowa ƒe nyawo. Nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ na towo kple togbɛwo, gbadzaƒewo kple balimewo, gbegbewo kple aƒedo duwo, teƒe siwo dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã mi ha, eye wodo vlo mi la,’
ngakho-ke, lina zintaba zako-Israyeli, zwanini ilizwi likaThixo Wobukhosi: Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi kuzo izintaba lamaqaqa, ezindongeni lasezigodini, emanxiweni aphundlekileyo lasemadolobheni atshiyiweyo aphangwayo njalo ahlekwa ngezinye izizwe ezikuhanqileyo,
5 Aƒetɔ Yehowa be, ‘Metsɔ nye ŋuʋaʋã ƒe dzo bibi ƒo nu ɖe dukɔ mamlɛawo kple Edom ŋu, elabena wotsɔ dzidzɔ kple ta me vɔ̃ ɖoɖo wɔ nye anyigba wo tɔe, ale be woaha eƒe lãnyiƒewo.
nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngokutshiseka kwami okukhulu sengikhulume ngimelana lezinye izizwe njalo lange-Edomi lonke, ngoba ngokuthaba langenzondo ezinhliziyweni zabo benza ilizwe lami elabo ukuze baphange amadlelo alo.’
6 Eya ta gblɔ nya ɖi tso Israelnyigba ŋuti, eye nàgblɔ na towo kple togbɛwo, gbadzaƒewo kple balimewo be, “Aƒetɔ Yehowa be, mele nu ƒom le nye ŋuʋaʋã ƒe dziku me, elabena miekpe fu le dukɔwo ƒe fewuɖuɖu me.
Ngakho phrofetha ngelizwe lako-Israyeli uthi kuzo izintaba lamaqaqa, indonga lezigodi: Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngikhuluma ngolaka lwami olulobukhwele ngoba lithwale isithuko sesizwe.
7 Eya ta aleae Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye si. Mekɔ nye asi dzi heka atam be woaɖu fewu le dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã mi la hã ŋu.”’
Ngakho-ke nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngifunga izandla ziphakanyiselwe phezulu ukuthi izizwe ezilihanqileyo lazo zizathwala isithuko.
8 “Ke miawo, O! Israel towo, miatse ku geɖewo na nye dukɔ Israel, elabena woƒe gbɔgbɔɣi tu aƒe.
Kodwa lina, lina zintaba zako-Israyeli, lizaveza ingatsha lezithelo zabantu bami u-Israyeli, ngoba sebezakuza ekhaya masinyane nje.
9 Metsi dzi ɖe mia ŋu, eye makpɔ nublanui na mi. Woaŋlɔ mi, woaƒã nukuwo ɖe mia dzi,
Ngiyalinqinekela njalo ngizalikhangela ngomusa; lizalinywa lihlanyelwe,
10 eye mana amewo nasɔ gbɔ ɖe mia dzi, Israel ƒe aƒe blibo la gɔ̃ hã. Amewo anɔ duawo me, eye woagbugbɔ du gbagbãwo atu.
njalo ngizakwandisa inani labantu phezu kwenu, lakuyo yonke indlu ka-Israyeli. Amadolobho kuzahlalwa kuwo futhi lamanxiwa avuselelwe.
11 Madzi amewo kple lãwo ƒe agbɔsɔsɔ ɖe edzi le mia dzi, woadzi, eye woasɔ gbɔ. Mana amewo nanɔ mia dzi abe tsã ene, eye nuwo anyo na mi wu tsã. Ekema mianya be, nyee nye Yehowa.
Ngizakwandisa inani labantu lelezinyamazana phezu kwenu: njalo kuzazalana kwande. Ngizahlalisa abantu phezu kwenu njengakudala njalo ngizalenza liphumelele kakhulu kulakudala. Lapho-ke lizakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.
12 Mana nye dukɔ, nye dukɔ, Israel, nazɔ le dziwò. Woaxɔ wò, eye nànye woƒe domenyinu; miagaxɔ wò viwo le wo si azɔ o.
Ngizakwenza abantu, abantu bami bako-Israyeli bahambe phezu kwenu. Bazalenza libe ngababo, njalo lizakuba yilifa labo; kaliyikubemuka abantwana babo futhi.
13 “Aleae Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, ‘Esi amewo gblɔna na mi be mieɖua amelã, eye mieɖea vi ɖa le miaƒe dukɔ ŋuti ta la,
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngoba abantu bathi kini, ‘Lidla abantu lemuke isizwe senu abantwana baso,
14 miagaɖu amelã azɔ o, eye miagatsrɔ̃ ɖeviwo na dukɔa azɔ o. Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
ngakho-ke kaliyikudla abantu futhi loba lenze isizwe senu singabi labantwana, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
15 Nyemagana miase dukɔwo ƒe fewuɖuɖu le mia ŋu o, eye dukɔwo magado vlo mi alo ana miaƒe dukɔ la nadze anyi o. Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.’”
Angiyikulenza lizwe izibhinqo zezizwe, njalo kalisayikuthwala izithuko zabantu loba ngenze ukuba isizwe senu siwe, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.’”
16 Aƒetɔ Yehowa ƒe nya gava nam be,
Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi njalo lisithi:
17 “Ame vi, esime Israelviwo nɔ woawo ŋutɔ ƒe anyigba dzi la, wodo gui to woƒe nɔnɔme kple wɔnawo me. Woƒe nɔnɔme le abe nyɔnu ƒe dzinukpɔkpɔ ene le nye ŋkume.
“Ndodana yomuntu, abantu bako-Israyeli besahlala elizweni labo, balingcolisa ngendlela abaziphatha ngayo langezenzo zabo. Ukuziphatha kwabo kwakufana lokungcola kowesifazane kwanyanga zonke emehlweni ami.
18 Eya ta metrɔ nye dziku kɔ ɖe wo dzi, elabena wokɔ ʋu ɖe anyigba la dzi, eye wogblẽ kɔ ɖo nɛ kple woƒe legbawo.
Ngakho ngehlisela ulaka lwami phezu kwabo ngoba babechithe igazi elizweni njalo ngoba babelingcolisile ngezithombe zabo.
19 Mekaka wo ɖe dukɔwo dome, eye wokaka wo hlẽ ɖe anyigbawo dzi. Medrɔ̃ ʋɔnu wo ɖe woƒe nɔnɔme kple wɔnawo nu.
Ngabachithela phakathi kwezizwe, njalo bahlakazekela emazweni; ngabahlulela ngokufanele ukuziphatha kwabo kanye lezenzo zabo.
20 Eye afi sia afi si woyi le dukɔwo dome la, wodoa gu nye ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la, elabena wogblɔ tso wo ŋu be, ‘Ame siawo nye Yehowa ƒe amewo, ke ele na wo be woadzo le anyigba la dzi.’
Loba ngaphi abaya khona phakathi kwezizwe balingcolisa ibizo lami elingcwele, ngoba kwathiwa ngabo, ‘Laba ngabantu bakaThixo, kodwa basuswa elizweni.’
21 Metsi dzi ɖe nye ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la ŋu, ŋkɔ si Israel ƒe aƒe la do gui le dukɔ siwo me woyi la ŋkume.”
Nganqinekela ibizo lami elingcwele, elangcoliswa yindlu ka-Israyeli phakathi kwezizwe abaya kuzo.
22 Eya ta gblɔ na Israel ƒe aƒe la be, ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, “O! Israel ƒe aƒe, menye miawo tae mele nu siawo wɔ ge o, ke nye ŋkɔ kɔkɔe si miedo gui le dukɔ siwo me mieyi la tae.
Ngakho tshono endlini ka-Israyeli uthi, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Akusingenxa yakho, wena ndlu ka-Israyeli, ukuthi ngizakwenza izinto lezi, kodwa ngenxa yebizo lami elingcwele, osulingcolisile phakathi kwezizwe lapho oye khona.
23 Mafia nye ŋkɔ gã la ƒe kɔkɔenyenye si wodo gui le dukɔwo dome, ŋkɔ si miedo gui le wo dome. Ekema dukɔawo anya be nyee nye Yehowa, Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe, ne mefia ɖokuinye kɔkɔe to mia dzi le woƒe ŋkume.
Ngizabonakalisa ubungcwele bebizo elikhulu, eselingcolisiwe phakathi kwezizwe, ibizo osulingcolisile phakathi kwazo. Lapho-ke izizwe zizakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi, lapho sengizibonakalisa ngingcwele ngawe phambi kwamehlo azo.
24 “Elabena maɖe mi le dukɔawo dome, maƒo mia nu ƒu tso anyigbawo katã dzi, eye makplɔ mi ava miawo ŋutɔ ƒe anyigba dzi.
Ngoba ngizakususa ezizweni; ngizakuqoqa emazweni wonke ngikubuyisele elizweni lakho.
25 Mahlẽ tsi kɔkɔe ɖe mia ŋu, eye mia ŋuti akɔ. Makɔ mia ŋuti tso miaƒe makɔmakɔnyenye katã me, eye maɖe miaƒe legbawo katã ɖa le mia dome.
Ngizakuchela ngamanzi ahlanzekileyo, uzahlambuluka; ngizakuhlambulula kukho konke ukungcola kwakho kanye lakuzo zonke izithombe zakho.
26 Mana dzi yeye mi, eye made gbɔgbɔ yeye mia me; maɖe miaƒe kpedzi ɖa le mia me, eye mana lãkusidzi mi.
Ngizakunika inhliziyo entsha ngifake lomoya omutsha phakathi kwakho; ngizasusa kuwe inhliziyo yakho yelitshe ngikunike inhliziyo yenyama.
27 Made nye Gbɔgbɔ mia me, mana miawɔ nye ɖoɖowo dzi, eye mialé nye seawo me ɖe asi.
Njalo ngizafaka uMoya wami phakathi kwakho ngikwenze ulandele izimiso zami njalo unanzelele ukugcina imithetho yami.
28 Mianɔ anyigba si metsɔ na mia tɔgbuiwo la dzi; mianye nye amewo, eye manye miaƒe Mawu.
Lizahlala elizweni engalinika okhokho benu; lizakuba ngabantu bami, mina ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wenu.
29 Maɖe mi tso miaƒe nu makɔmakɔwo katã me. Mana bli nasɔ gbɔ na mi, eye nyemana dɔwuame nava mia dzi o.
Ngizalikhulula kukho konke ukungcola kwenu. Ngizabiza amabele ngiwenze abe manengi njalo angiyikuletha indlala kini.
30 Madzi atikutsetsewo kple miaƒe agblemenukuwo ɖe edzi, ale be miagaɖu ŋukpe le dukɔwo dome le dɔwuame ta o.
Ngizakwandisa izithelo zezihlahla kanye lamabele emasimini, ukuze lingabi lehlazo futhi phakathi kwezizwe ngenxa yendlala.
31 Ekema miaɖo ŋku miaƒe mɔ vɔ̃wo kple miaƒe ŋutasẽnuwɔwɔwo dzi, eye miaƒe nu anyɔ ŋu na miawo ŋutɔ le miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo kple nuwɔna vlowo ta.
Lapho-ke lizakhumbula izindlela zenu ezimbi kanye lezono zenu ezingalunganga, njalo lizazizonda lina ngokwenu ngenxa yezono kanye lezenzo zenu ezenyanyekayo.
32 Medi be mianya be nyemele nu siawo wɔm le mia ta o; Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe. Mina ŋu nakpe mi, eye miaɖi gbɔ̃ mia ɖokui le miaƒe wɔnawo ta, O! Israel ƒe aƒe.”
Ngifuna ukuba likwazi ukuthi lokhu angikwenzeli lina, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi. Yangeka ube lenhloni ngenxa yokuziphatha kwakho, wena ndlu ka-Israyeli!
33 Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Le gbe si gbe maklɔ miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo katã ɖa le mia ŋuti la, mana amewo naganɔ miaƒe duwo me, eye woagbugbɔ gli gbagbãwo aɖo.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngosuku engizakuhlambulula ngalo ezonweni zakho zonke, ngizahlalisa abantu emadolobheni akho, njalo lamanxiwa azavuselelwa.
34 Woade agble ɖe gbegbewo, eye womaganye gbegbe le emetsolawo ŋkume o.
Ilizwe eliphundlekileyo lizalinywa kulokuthi lihlale liphundlekile emehlweni abo bonke abadabula phakathi kwalo.
35 Woagblɔ be anyigba si nye gbegbe tsã la, va ɖi Edenbɔ azɔ. Du siwo gbã, eye wozu aƒedo tsã la, woglã wo, eye amewo le wo me.
Bazakuthi, “Ilizwe leli elaselenziwe laba lugwadule selibe njengesivande se-Edeni; amadolobho ayesengamanxiwa, ephundlekile njalo echithekile, khathesi asevikelwe ngezinqaba njalo sekuhlala abantu kuwo.”
36 Ekema dukɔ siwo susɔ ƒo xlã mi la anya be, nye Yehowae gbugbɔ du siwo wogbã la tu, eye medo nukuwo ɖe gbegbewo. Nye Yehowae gblɔe, eye mawɔe hã.”
Lapho-ke izizwe ezilihanqileyo eziseleyo zizakwazi ukuthi mina Thixo sengikwakhe kutsha okwakudiliziwe njalo sengikuhlanyele kutsha okwakuphundlekile. Mina Thixo sengikhulumile njalo ngizakwenza lokhu.’
37 “Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Magaɖo to Israel ƒe aƒe ƒe kokoƒoƒo, eye mawɔ nu sia na wo. Mana eƒe amewo nasɔ gbɔ abe alẽwo ene,
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngizasivuma njalo isicelo sendlu ka-Israyeli ngibenzele lokhu: Ngizakwenza abantu bakibo babebanengi njengezimvu,
38 abe alẽ siwo woatsɔ asa vɔwoe le Yerusalem le ŋkekenyuiɖuɣiwo ene. Nenemae amewo ayɔ du siwo gbã la me. Ekema woanya be, nyee nye Yehowa.’”
babebanengi njengemihlambi yemihlatshelo eJerusalema ngesikhathi semikhosi yalo emisiweyo. Ngokunjalo amadolobho achithekayo azagcwala ngamaxuku abantu. Lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.”
