Hezekiel 5
1 “Azɔ, ame vi, tsɔ yi ɖaɖɛ aɖe, wɔ eŋu dɔ abe takola aɖe ƒe hɛ ene, eye nàlũ wò taɖa kple ge. Le esia megbe la, ma ɖa la le nudanu dzi.
“Khathesi, ndodana yomuntu, thatha inkemba ebukhali uyisebenzise njengempuco yomgeli ekuphuceni ikhanda lakho kanye lezindevu zakho. Emva kwalokho thatha izilinganiso wehlukanise inwele.
2 Ne wò toɖeɖe ɖe du la ƒe ŋkekewo wu enu la, tɔ dzo ɖa la ƒe mama etɔ̃lia ƒe ɖeka le dua me. Tsɔ yi la ƒo mama evelia ƒo xlã du la, eye nàwu mama etɔ̃lia ɖe yame, elabena maɖe yi le aku me atsɔ anya wo ɖe du nu.
Lapho insuku zokuvinjezelwa kwenu seziphelile, tshisa ingxenye yesithathu yezinwele ngomlilo phakathi kwedolobho. Thatha ingxenye yesithathu uyigwaze ngenkemba ubhoda lonke idolobho, uhlakazele ingxenye yesithathu emoyeni. Ngoba ngizabalandela ngiphethe inkemba ekhokhiweyo.
3 Ke ɖe ɖa sue aɖe dzra ɖo ɖe wò awu ƒe biɖedziwo me,
Kodwa thatha inwele ezilutshwane uzithungele emiphethweni yesembatho sakho.
4 eye nàgatsɔ ɖa sue aɖe ade dzo me. Dzo abi tso afi ma age ɖe Israel ƒe aƒe blibo la me.
Thatha njalo emilutshwana yayo uyiphosele emlilweni uyitshise. Umlilo uzamemetheka usuka lapho uye kuyo yonke indlu ka-Israyeli.
5 “Nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye si, ‘Esiae nye Yerusalem si metsɔ da ɖe dukɔwo dome, eye anyigba geɖewo ƒo xlãe.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi ukuthi: Le yiJerusalema engiyimise phakathi kwezizwe, kulamazwe kuwo wonke amacele ayo.
6 Ke le eƒe vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi ta la, edze aglã ɖe nye sewo kple ɖoɖowo ŋu wu ale si dukɔ kple anyigba siwo ƒo xlãe la wɔ. Egbe nye sewo, eye mezɔ ɖe nye ɖoɖowo nu o.’
Kodwa ngenxa yobubi bayo isihlamukele imithetho yami lezimiso zami okudlula izizwe lamazwe ayihanqileyo. Iyalile imithetho yami kayaze yalandela izimiso zami.
7 “Eya ta nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye si, ‘Miedze aglã wu dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã mi, miezɔ ɖe nye ɖoɖowo nu o, eye mielé nye sewo me ɖe asi o. Miaƒe wɔnawo menyo abe dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã mi la tɔwo gɔ hã ene o.’
Ngakho-ke nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi ukuthi: Ube ngoxhwale okudlula izizwe ezikuhanqileyo njalo kawulandelanga izimiso zami kumbe ugcine imithetho yami. Futhi kalilaleli lezimiso zezizwe ezilihanqileyo.
8 “Eya ta nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye si, ‘Nye ŋutɔ medo dɔmedzoe ɖe wò, Yerusalem ŋu, eye mahe to na wò le dukɔwo ŋkume.
Ngakho-ke nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi ukuthi: Mina ngokwami ngimelane lawe, wena Jerusalema, njalo ngizabeka isijeziso phezu kwakho izizwe zikhangele.
9 Le miaƒe legba nyɔŋuwo katã ta la, mawɔ nu si nyemewɔ kpɔ o la mi, esi nyemagawɔ gbeɖe o.
Ngenxa yezithombe zakho zonke ezinengekayo, kuwe ngizakwenza engingakaze ngikwenze ngaphambili njalo engingayikukwenza futhi.
10 Eya ta le mia dome la, fofowo aɖu wo viwo, eye viwo aɖu wo fofowo. Mahe to na mi, eye makaka mia dometɔ siwo atsi agbe la ahlẽ ɖe yawo nu.’
Ngakho phakathi kwenu oyise bazakudla abantwana babo, labantwana bazakudla oyise. Ngizabeka isijeziso phezu kwakho kuthi bonke abasindileyo bakho ngibahlakazele emoyeni.
11 Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ be, ‘Eya ta meta nye agbe, zi ale si miegblẽ kɔ ɖo na nye Kɔkɔeƒe kple miaƒe legba nyɔŋuwo kple kɔnu vlowo ta la, nye ŋutɔ maɖe nye amenuveve ɖa le mia dzi. Nyemakpɔ nublanui na mi o, eye nyemaɖe mi o.
Ngakho ngeqiniso elinjengoba ngikhona, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi, ngoba ungcolise indlu yami engcwele ngezifanekiso zakho zonke ezingamanyala langezenzo zakho ezenyanyekayo, mina ngokwami ngizasusa umusa wami; angiyikuba lesihawu kuwe loba ngiyekele ukukubhubhisa.
12 Mia dome mama etɔ̃ ƒe ɖeka aku le dɔvɔ̃ ta alo atsrɔ̃ to dɔwuame me, mama etɔ̃ ƒe ɖeka bubu atsi yi nu le miaƒe gliwo godo, eye mama etɔ̃ ƒe ɖeka mamlɛa maka ahlẽ ɖe yawo nu, eye maɖe yi le aku me anya wo ɖe du nu.’
Ingxenye yesithathu yabantu bakho izabulawa yisifo loba ibhujiswe yindlala phakathi kwakho; ingxenye yesithathu izakufa ngenkemba ngaphandle kwemiduli yakho; ingxenye yesithathu ngizayihlakazela emoyeni ngiphinde ngiyilandele ngiphethe inkemba.
13 “Ekema nye dziku nu atso, eye nye dɔmedzoe ɖe wo ŋu nu abɔbɔ, nye dzi afa, eye woanya be nye, Yehowae ƒo nu kple ŋuʋaʋã nenye be metrɔ nye dziku katã kɔ ɖe wo dzi.
Lapho-ke ukuthukuthela kwami kuzaphela, lolaka lwami kubo luzadeda, njalo ngizabe sengiphindisele. Njalo lapho ulaka lwami sengiluqedele kubo, bazakwazi ukuthi mina Thixo ngikhulume ngokutshiseka kwami.
14 “Miazu gbegbe, alɔmeɖenu le dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã mi la dome, le emetsolawo katã ƒe ŋkume.
Ngizakwenza ube lunxiwa lehlazo phakathi kwezizwe ezikuhanqileyo, emehlweni abo bonke abadlula khona.
15 Miazu alɔmeɖenu, vlodonu, nuxlɔ̃amenu kple ŋɔdzi na dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã mi ne mehe to na mi le nye dɔmedzoe kple dziku me. Nye Yehowae gblɔe.
Uzakuba lihlazo lenhlekisa, isixwayiso lento eyesabekayo ezizweni ezikuhanqileyo lapho sengibeka isijeziso phezu kwakho ngentukuthelo langolaka, ngikhuza kabuhlungu. Mina Thixo sengikhulumile.
16 Ne metsɔ nye dɔwuame ƒe aŋutrɔ siwo hea ku vɛ, eye wogblẽa nu da mi la, mada wo be woatsrɔ̃ mi. Mana dɔwuame nagasẽ ɖe edzi wu tsã le mia dome, eye maxe mɔ na nuɖuɖu ƒe mia gbɔ ɖoɖo.
Lapho ngikutshoka ngemitshoko yami ebhubhisayo, langemitshoko echithayo yendlala, ngizatshoka ukuba ngikutshabalalise. Ngizakwandisela indlala ngivale ukulethwa kokudla kwakho.
17 Mana dɔwuame kple lã wɔadãwo nava mia dzi, eye woana viwo maganɔ mia si o. Dɔ vɔ̃ kple ʋukɔkɔɖi ava mia dzi, eye matsɔ yi ɖe mia ŋu. Nye Yehowae gblɔe.”
Ngizakulethela indlala lezinyamazana zeganga ukuba kukuhlasele, kuzakutshiya ungaselamntwana. Isifo lokuchithwa kwegazi kuzadabula phakathi kwakho, njalo ngizaletha inkemba ukuba ikuhlasele. Mina Thixo sengikhulumile.”
