< Hezekiel 8 >
1 Le ƒe adelia ƒe ɣleti adelia me, le ŋkeke atɔ̃lia gbe la, esi menɔ nye aƒe me, esime Yuda ƒe ametsitsiwo nɔ anyi ɖe nye ŋkume la, Aƒetɔ Yehowa ƒe asi va dzinye le afi ma.
Ngomnyaka wesithupha, ngenyanga yesithupha ngosuku lwesihlanu, lapho ngangihlezi endlini yami labadala bakoJuda behlezi phambi kwami, isandla sikaThixo Wobukhosi sehlela phezu kwami khonapho.
2 Mefɔ kɔ dzi, eye mekpɔ nane abe ame ene. Tso eƒe afi si dze abe ali gbɔ ene yi anyigba lɔƒo la le abe dzo bibi ene, eye tso afi ma yi dzi lɔƒo la, eƒe dzedzeme le abe ga keklẽ ene.
Ngakhangela, ngabona ulutho olwalulesimo somuntu. Kusukela kokwakungathi lukhalo lwakhe kusiya phansi wayenjengomlilo, njalo kusukela lapho kusiya phezulu ukubonakala kwakhe kwakhazimula njengensimbi evuthayo.
3 Edo nane si le abe asi ene ɖa, eye wolé nye taɖa. Gbɔgbɔ la kɔm ɖe dzi yi anyigba kple dziƒo dome, eye le Mawu ƒe ŋutega aɖe me la, ekɔm yi Yerusalem, yi ɖe xɔxɔnu emetɔ ƒe agbo anyiehetɔ ƒe mɔnu, afi si legba si nyɔa ŋuʋaʋã ƒe dɔmedzoe le Mawu me la le.
Welula okwakukhanya angathi yisandla wangibamba ngenwele zekhanda lami. UMoya wangiphakamisela phezulu phakathi komhlaba lezulu, kwathi ngemibono kaNkulunkulu wangisa eJerusalema, ekungeneni kwesango langasenyakatho yeguma langaphakathi, lapho okwakumi khona isithombe esibangela ubukhwele.
4 Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe le nye ŋkume le afi ma abe ale si wònɔ le ŋutega si mekpɔ le bali la me ene.
Njalo khonapho phambili kwami kwakulenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, njengasembonweni engawubona egcekeni.
5 Eye wògblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, kpɔ anyiehe lɔƒo.” Mekpɔ afi ma, eye mekpɔ legba si he ŋuʋaʋã vɛ le mɔnu si le vɔsamlekpui la ƒe agbo ƒe anyiehe.
Wasesithi kimi, “Ndodana yomuntu, khangela ngasenyakatho.” Ngakho ngakhangela, kwathi entubeni esenyakatho kwesango le-alithari ngabona lesisithombe sobukhwele.
6 Eye wògblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, èkpɔ nu si wɔm wolea? Èkpɔ ŋunyɔnu siwo Israel ƒe aƒe la le wɔwɔm le afi sia? Èkpɔ ŋunyɔnu siwo anyam ɖa boo tso nye teƒe kɔkɔe la gbɔa? Ke àgakpɔ nu bubu siwo nyɔ ŋu sãa wu esiawo.”
Wasesithi kimi, “Ndodana yomuntu, uyakubona yini abakwenzayo, izinto ezenyanyekayo kakhulu indlu ka-Israyeli ezenzayo lapha, izinto ezizangixotshela khatshana lendawo yami engcwele? Kodwa wena uzabona izinto ezenyanyekayo kakhulukazi kulalezi.”
7 Eye wòkplɔm yi xɔxɔnu la ƒe mɔnu. Melé ŋku ɖe nuwo ŋu, eye mekpɔ do aɖe le gli la me.
Emva kwalokho wangisa entubeni yeguma. Ngakhangela, ngabona imbobo emdulini.
8 Egblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, azɔ la, ku do ɖe gli la me.” Ale meku do ɖe gli la me, eye mekpɔ mɔnu aɖe le afi ma.
Wasesithi kimi, “Ndodana yomuntu, khathesi gubha umduli.” Ngakho ngawugubha umduli ngasengibona umnyango khona.
9 Eye wògblɔ nam be, “Yi ɖe eme, eye nàkpɔ nu vɔ̃ɖi kple ŋunyɔnu siwo wole wɔwɔm le afi ma”
Wasesithi kimi, “Ngena ubone izinto ezimbi lezenyanyekayo abazenzayo lapha.”
10 Ale meyi, eye mekpɔ be wota nu siwo tana kple lã nyɔŋuwo kple Israel ƒe aƒe la ƒe legba ƒomeviwo katã ɖe gliawo ŋu va kpe ɖo.
Ngakho ngangena phakathi ngakhangela, ngabona indawo yonke emidulini kufanekiswe inhlobo zezinto zonke ezihuquzelayo lezinyamazana ezenyanyekayo kanye lezithombe zonke zasendlini ka-Israyeli.
11 Ametsitsi blaadre tso Israel ƒe aƒe la me tsi tsitre ɖe wo ŋgɔ, eye Yaazania, Safan ƒe vi, nɔ tsitre ɖe wo dome. Ɖe sia ɖe lé sonu ɖe asi, eye dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ ƒe babla nɔ dzi dem.
Phambi kwazo kwakumi abadala bendlu ka-Israyeli abangamatshumi ayisikhombisa, loJazaniya indodana kaShafani emi phakathi kwabo. Omunye lomunye wayephethe udengezi lokutshisela impepha ngesandla, luthunqa intuthu elephunga elimnandi elempepha.
12 Egblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, èkpɔ nu si Israel ƒe aƒe la ƒe ametsitsiwo le wɔwɔm le viviti la me, wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe le eya ŋutɔ ƒe legba ƒe nɔƒea? Wogblɔ be, ‘Yehowa mele mía kpɔm o; Yehowa gble anyigba la ɖi.’”
Wathi kimi, “Ndodana yomuntu, ukubonile yini okwenziwa ngabadala bendlu ka-Israyeli emnyameni, omunye lomunye esendaweni yokukhonzela isithombe sakhe? Bathi, ‘UThixo kasiboni; uThixo uselilahlile ilizwe.’”
13 Eye wògagblɔ nam be, “Àkpɔ wo woaganɔ nu siwo nyɔ ŋu wu esiawo gɔ̃ hã la wɔm.”
Wabuye wathi, “Uzababona besenza izinto ezenyanyeka okudlula lokho.”
14 Emegbe la, ekplɔm yi Yehowa ƒe aƒe la ƒe agbo si le anyiehe la gbɔ, eye mekpɔ nyɔnuwo wonɔ anyi ɖe afi ma henɔ fafam na Tamuz.
Emva kwalokho wangisa ekungeneni kwesango lasenyakatho kwendlu kaThixo, ngabona abesifazane behlezi khona belilela uThamuzi.
15 Egblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, èkpɔ nu sia? Èle nu siwo nyɔ ŋu wu esia gɔ̃ hã kpɔ ge.”
Wasesithi kimi, “Uyakubona lokhu na, ndodana yomuntu? Uzabona izinto ezenyanyeka kakhulu kulalokhu.”
16 Ekplɔm yi Yehowa ƒe aƒe la ƒe xɔxɔnu emetɔ, eye le afi ma la, ŋutsu abe blaeve vɔ atɔ̃ ene nɔ gbedoxɔ la ƒe mɔnu le akpata la kple vɔsamlekpui la dome. Wotrɔ megbe do ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la gbɔ, wodze ŋgɔ ɣedzeƒe, eye wonɔ ta dem agu na ɣe le ɣedzeƒe.
Wasengisa egumeni lendlu kaThixo elingaphakathi, njalo khonapho ekungeneni kwethempeli, phakathi komkhandlu le-alithari, kwakulamadoda ayengaba ngamatshumi amabili lanhlanu. Ayekhothamele phansi elangeni empumalanga, efulathele ithempeli likaThixo. Ubuso bawo bukhangele empumalanga.
17 Egblɔ nam be, “Ame vi, èkpɔ nu sia? Nya tsɛe wònye be Yuda ƒe aƒe nanɔ ŋunyɔnu siawo wɔm le afi sia? Ɖe woagana ŋutasesẽ naxɔ anyigba la dzi, eye woanɔ dziku dom nam madzudzɔmadzudzɔea? Kpɔ ale si wotsɔ atilɔ la ɖo ŋɔtinu la ɖa!
Wathi kimi, “Sewake wakubona lokhu na ndodana yomuntu? Kuyinto encane na ukuthi indlu kaJuda yenze izinto ezenyanyekayo abazenza lapha? Kumele ilizwe baligcwalise futhi ngodlakela, njalo bangithukuthelise kokuphela na? Bakhangele bebeka ugatsha empumulweni yabo!
18 Le esia ta la, matu nu kpli wo le dziku me. Nyemakpɔ nublanui na wo loo alo aɖewo o. Togbɔ be woado ɣli ɖe tome nam hã la, nyemaɖo to wo o.”
Ngakho ngizabaphatha ngentukuthelo; angiyikuba lesihawu kubo ngibayekele. Lanxa sebeklabalalela ezindlebeni zami, kangiyikubalalela.”
