Hezekiel 37
1 Yehowa ƒe asi va dzinye, eye Yehowa ƒe Gbɔgbɔ kplɔm do goe, eye wòdam ɖe balime aɖe ƒe titina; balime la yɔ fũu kple ƒuwo.
Isandla sikaThixo sasiphezu kwami, njalo wangikhuphela phandle ngoMoya kaThixo wangibeka phakathi kwesigodi; sasigcwele amathambo.
2 Ekplɔm tso afii yi afi mɛ le wo dome, eye mekpɔ ƒu geɖewo le balime la ƒe anyigba. Ƒuawo ƒu kplakplakpla.
Wangisa emuva laphambili phakathi kwawo, njalo ngabona amathambo amanengi kakhulu phansi esigodini, amathambo ome kakhulu.
3 Ebiam be, “Ame vi, ƒu siawo ate ŋu anɔ agbea?” Megblɔ be, “O! Aƒetɔ Yehowa, wò ɖeka koe nya.”
Wangibuza wathi, “Ndodana yomuntu, kambe amathambo la angaphila na?” Mina ngathi, “Awu Thixo Wobukhosi, wena kuphela nguwe owaziyo.”
4 Tete wògblɔ nam be, “Gblɔ nya ɖi na ƒu siawo, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ƒu ƒuƒuwo, mise Aƒetɔ Yehowa ƒe nya.
Wasesithi kimi, “Phrofetha emathanjeni la uthi kuwo, ‘Mathambo omileyo, zwanini ilizwi likaThixo!
5 Nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ na ƒu siawoe nye, mana gbɔgbɔ nage ɖe mia me, eye miagbɔ agbe.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi emathanjeni la: Ngizakwenza umoya ungene phakathi kwenu, njalo lizakuba lokuphila.
6 Made lãmeka mia me, lã naɖo mia ŋu, eye mafa ayi ɖe mia ŋu. Made yagbɔgbɔ mia me, eye miagbɔ agbe. Ekema mianya be nyee nye Yehowa.’”
Ngizaxhuma imisipha kini ngenze inyama ihlume phezu kwenu njalo ngibeke ijwabu phezu kwenu; ngizafaka umoya phakathi kwenu, njalo lizakuba lokuphila. Lapho-ke lizakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.’”
7 Ale megblɔ nya ɖi abe ale si wòɖo nam ene. Esi menɔ nya la gblɔm ɖi la, hoowɔwɔ sesẽ aɖe ɖi, eye ƒuawo ƒo ƒu hetɔ ɖe wo nɔewo nu.
Ngakho ngaphrofitha njengokulaywa kwami. Kwathi ngisaphrofitha, kwaba lomsindo, umsindo okhehlezelayo, njalo amathambo aqoqana ndawonye, ithambo ethanjeni.
8 Meda ŋku ɖi, eye mekpɔ lãmekawo kple lã ɖo ƒuawo ŋu eye ayi fa ɖe wo ŋu, gake gbɔgbɔ mege ɖe wo me o.
Ngakhangela, imisipha lenyama kwavela phezu kwawo kwathi ijwabu lawembesa, kodwa kwakungelamoya phakathi kwawo.
9 Eye wògblɔ nam be, “Gblɔ nya ɖi na ya, gblɔ nya ɖi, Ame vi, eye nàgblɔ nɛ be, ‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye si. Va, o, gbɔgbɔ, va tso ya eneawo me, eye nàgbɔ ɖe ame siwo wowu la me be woagbɔ agbe.’”
Wasesithi kimi, “Phrofetha emoyeni, phrofetha, ndodana yomuntu, uthi kuwo, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Woza, wena moya, uvela ezindaweni zonke, uphefumulele kubo ababulawayo, ukuba baphile.’”
10 Ale megblɔ nya ɖi abe ale si wòɖo nam ene, eye gbɔgbɔ ge ɖe wo me. Wogbɔ agbe, eye wotsi tsitre; aʋakɔ gã aɖee.
Ngakho ngaphrofitha njengokungilaya kwakhe, umoya wasungena kuwo; aba lokuphila njalo ema ngenyawo zawo, kulixuku elikhulukazi.
11 Eye wògblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, ƒu siawo nye Israel ƒe aƒe blibo la. Wobe, ‘Míaƒe ƒuwo ƒu kplakplakpla; míaƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ bu; woɖe mí ɖa.’
Wasesithi kimi: “Ndodana yomuntu, amathambo la ayiyo yonke indlu ka-Israyeli. Bona bathi, ‘Amathambo ethu omile njalo ithemba lethu selitshabalele; sesihunundiwe.’
12 Eya ta gblɔ nya ɖi, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: O, nye amewo, mele miaƒe yɔdowo ʋu ge, eye maɖe mi tso wo me: magbugbɔ mi ava Israelnyigba dzi.
Ngakho phrofetha uthi kubo: ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Awu bantu bami, ngizavula amangcwaba enu ngilivuse kuwo; ngizalibuyisela elizweni lako-Israyeli.
13 Ekema mi, nye amewo, mianya be nyee nye Yehowa, ne meʋu miaƒe yɔdowo, eye meɖe mi do goe tso wo me.
Lapho-ke, lina bantu bami, lizakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo, lapho sengivula amangcwaba enu ngilivusa kuwo.
14 Made nye Gbɔgbɔ mia me, mianɔ agbe, eye mana mianɔ miawo ŋutɔ miaƒe anyigba dzi. Ekema mianya be nye, Yehowa, meƒo nu, eye mewɔe hã; Yehowae gblɔe.’”
Ngizafaka uMoya wami phakathi kwenu njalo lizaphila, futhi ngizalihlalisa elizweni lenu. Lapho-ke lizakwazi ukuthi mina Thixo sengikhulumile, njalo sengikwenzile lokho, kutsho uThixo.’”
15 Yehowa ƒe nya va nam,
Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
16 “Ame vi, tsɔ ati aɖe, eye nàŋlɔ ɖe edzi be, ‘Enye Yuda kple Israelvi siwo dea ha kplii la tɔ.’ Emegbe la, nàtsɔ ati bubu, eye nàŋlɔ ɖe edzi be, ‘Efraim ƒe ati, enye Yosef kple Israel ƒe aƒe siwo katã dea ha kplii la tɔ.’
“Ndodana yomuntu, thatha uluthi lwesigodo, ulobe kulo ukuthi, ‘NgolukaJuda labako-Israyeli amanyane laye.’ Emva kwalokho thatha olunye njalo uluthi lwesigodo, ulobe kulo ukuthi, ‘Uluthi luka-Efrayimi, olukaJosefa kanye lendlu yonke ka-Israyeli emanyene laye.’
17 Tɔ wo ɖe wo nɔewo nu ale be woazu ɖeka le wò asi me.
Zihlanganise ndawonye zibe yiluthi olulodwa ukuze zibe luthilunye esandleni sakho.
18 “Ne mia detɔwo bia wò be, ‘magblɔ nu si nèfia to esia me na mí oa?’ la,
Lapho abantu bakini bekubuza besithi, ‘Kawuyikusitshela na ukuthi utshoni ngalokhu?’
19 nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Matsɔ Yosef ƒe ati, ati si le Efraim ƒe asi me la kple Israel ƒe to siwo katã dea ha kplii la tɔ, eye matɔe ɖe Yuda ƒe ati nu, eye woazu ɖeka le nye asi me.’
uthi kubo, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngizathatha uluthi lukaJosefa olusesandleni sika-Efrayimi lolwezizwana zako-Israyeli ezimanyene laye, ngiluhlanganise loluthi lukaJuda, ngizenze zibe yiluthi lunye lwesigodo, njalo zizakuba ngolulodwa esandleni sami.’
20 Lé ati siwo dzi nèŋlɔ nu ɖo la ɖe woƒe ŋkume,
Izinti olobe kuzo ziphathe phambi kwamehlo abo
21 eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Maɖe Israelviwo ɖa tso dukɔ siwo me woyi la me. Maƒo wo nu ƒu tso teƒeawo katã, eye makplɔ wo ava woawo ŋutɔ ƒe anyigba dzi.
uthi kubo, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngizakhupha ama-Israyeli ezizweni aya kuzo. Ngizawaqoqa ezindaweni zonke ngiwabuyisele elizweni lawo.
22 Mawɔ wo dukɔ ɖekae le anyigba la dzi, le Israel ƒe towo dzi. Fia ɖeka aɖu wo katã dzi, womaganye dukɔ eve akpɔ o loo alo woama wo ɖe fiaɖuƒe eve me o.
Ngizawenza abe yisizwe sinye elizweni, phezu kwezintaba zako-Israyeli. Kuzakuba lenkosi eyodwa phezu kwabo bonke njalo akuyikuba lezizwe ezimbili futhi kumbe behlukaniswe ukuba yimibuso emibili.
23 Womagagblẽ kɔ ɖo na wo ɖokuiwo kple woƒe legbawo alo ametikpakpɛ nyɔŋuwo alo kple woƒe nu vɔ̃wo dometɔ aɖeke o, elabena maɖe wo tso woƒe megbededewo katã me, eye makɔ wo ŋu. Woanye nye amewo, eye manye woƒe Mawu.
Kabasayikuzingcolisa ngezithombe zabo langezifanekiso zabo ezenyanyekayo loba ngezinye zeziphambeko zabo, ngoba ngizabasindisa kukho konke ukuhlehlela kwabo emuva esonweni, njalo ngizabahlambulula. Bazakuba ngabantu bami, mina ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wabo.
24 “‘Nye dɔla, David anye woƒe fia, eye kplɔla ɖeka anɔ wo si. Woazɔ ɖe nye seawo nu, eye woalé nye ɖoɖowo me ɖe asi.
Inceku yami uDavida uzakuba yinkosi yabo, njalo bonke bazakuba lomelusi munye. Bazalandela imithetho yami njalo bananzelele ukugcina izimiso zami.
25 Woanɔ anyigba si metsɔ na nye dɔla Yakob, anyigba si dzi mia fofowo nɔ la dzi. Woawo kple wo viwo kple wo viwo ƒe viwo anɔ afi ma tegbetegbe, eye David, nye dɔla, anye woƒe fiaviŋutsu tegbetegbe.
Bazahlala elizweni engalinika inceku yami uJakhobe, ilizwe lapho oyihlo ababehlala khona. Bona labantwana babo kanye labantwana babantwana babo bazahlala khona kokuphela, njalo uDavida inceku yami uzakuba yinkosana yabo kokuphela.
26 Mawɔ ŋutifafa ƒe nubabla kpli wo, wòanye nubabla mavɔ. Maɖo wo gɔme anyi, madzi woƒe xexlẽme ɖe edzi, eye mali ke nye kɔkɔeƒe la ɖe wo dome tegbetegbe.
Ngizakwenza isivumelwano sokuthula labo; sizakuba yisivumelwano esingayikuphela.
27 Nye nɔƒe anɔ wo dome; manye woƒe Mawu, eye woanye nye amewo.
Indawo yami yokuhlala izakuba kubo; ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wabo, njalo bona bazakuba ngabantu bami.
28 Ekema dukɔwo anya be, nye Aƒetɔ lae wɔ Israel kɔkɔe le esime nye Kɔkɔeƒe la le wo dome tegbetegbe.’”
Lapho-ke izizwe zizakwazi ukuthi mina Thixo ngenza u-Israyeli abengcwele, nxa indlu yami engcwele iphakathi kwabo nini lanini.’”
