Ezekiela 22
1 HIKI mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
2 Ano hoi, e ke keiki a ke kanaka, e hoohewa anei oe, e hoohewa oe i ke kulanakauhale koko? Oia, e hoike no oe ia ia i kona mau mea a pau i inainaia.
“Ndodana yomuntu, uzalahlulela na? Uzalahlulela na lelidolobho lokuchithwa kwegazi? Ngakho melana lalo kanye lezono zalo ezenyanyekayo
3 E olelo aku oe, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Huku, penei; Ke hookahe nei ke kulanakauhale i ke koko iwaenakonu ona, i hiki mai kona manawa, a ua hana oia i na akua kii e ku e ia ia iho, e hoohaumia ia ia iho.
uthi: Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Wena dolobho elizilethela ukutshabalala ngokuchitha igazi phakathi kwakho njalo uzingcolisa ngokwenza izithombe,
4 I ke koko au i hookahe ai, ua hewa oe, a ma na akua kii au i hana'i, ua hoohaumia oe ia oe iho; a ua hookokoke no oe i kou mau la, a ua hiki mai hoi i kou mau makahiki; nolaila i hoolilo aku ai au ia oe i mea e hoinoia e na lahuikanaka, a i mea e henehene ai ko na aina a pau.
usube lecala ngenxa yegazi olichithileyo njalo usungcoliswe yizithombe ozenzileyo. Usulethe insuku zakho ekupheleni, lesiphetho seminyaka yakho sesifikile. Ngakho ngizakwenza ube yinto yokuklolodelwa ezizweni lenhlekisa emazweni wonke.
5 O ka poe kokoke mai a me ka poe mamao aku ia oe, e henehene no lakou ia oe ka mea inoa haumia, a ua hoouluhua nui ia.
Labo abaseduze kanye lalabo abakhatshana bazakuhoza, wena dolobho elidumazekileyo, eligcwele ukuxokozela.
6 Eia hoi, o na'lii o ka Iseraela, kela mea keia mea iloko ou ma ka hookahe koko lakou me ko lakou ikaika.
‘Khangela ubone ukuthi yileyo laleyo inkosana yako-Israyeli ephakathi kwakho isebenzisa amandla ayo ekuchitheni igazi.
7 O ka makuakane a me ka makuwahine ka lakou i hoowahawaha ai iloko ou; ma ka hooluhihewa i hana aku ai lakou i ka malihini iloko ou; a maloko ou i hoopilikia ai lakou i na mea makua ole a me na wahine kanemake.
Phakathi kwakho iphathe uyise lonina ngokweyisa; phakathi kwakho incindezele abezizweni, njalo yaphatha kubi izintandane labafelokazi.
8 Ua hoowahawaha oe i ko'u mau mea hoano, a ua hoohaumia hoi oe i ko'u mau Sabati.
Uzeyisile izinto zami ezingcwele watshaphaza lamaSabatha ami.
9 Maloko ou na kanaka holoholo olelo e hookahe i ke koko; ua ai hoi lakou maluna o na mauna iloko ou; a iwaenakonu ou ua hana lakou ma ka moe kolohe.
Phakathi kwakho kulabantu abahlebayo, abahlose ukuchitha igazi; phakathi kwakho kulalabo abadlela ezindaweni zokukhonzela entabeni benze lezenzo zesigweba.
10 Maloko ou, ua wehe lakou i kahi huna o ko lakou makuakane; a maloko ou ua hoohaahaa lakou i ka wahine i hookaawaleia'e no ka heekoko.
Phakathi kwakho kulalabo abangcolisa imibheda yaboyise; phakathi kwakho kulalabo abadlwengula abesifazane besesikhathini sabo, lapho bengahlanzekanga ngokomkhuba.
11 Ua hana kekahi i ka mea inainaia me ka wahine a kona hoalauna, a ua hoohaumia kekahi i kana hunona wahine ma ka moo kolohe; a ua hoohaahaa kekahi iloko ou i kona kaikuwahine, he kaikamahine a kona makuakane.
Phakathi kwakho indoda yenza ukona okwenyanyekayo lomfazi kamakhelwane wayo, enye ingcolise umalukazana wayo ngendlela ehlazisayo; enye njalo idlwengula udadewabo, indodakazi kayise uqobo.
12 Maloko ou ua lawe lakou i na kipe e hookahe i ke koko; ua lawe oe i ke kuala a me ka uku panee, a ua loaa ia oe me ka makee, o ka kou mau hoalauna, ma ka hooluhihewa, a ua hoopoina mai ia'u, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
Phakathi kwakho abantu bayavuma ukuthengwa ukuba bachithe igazi; uthatha inzuzo lomvuzo odlulisileyo emalini ebolekisiweyo, uthole inzuzo engafanelanga kumakhelwane wakho umbamba ngamandla. Njalo usungikhohliwe, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
13 Nolaila ea, ua pai au i kuu mau lima i kou waiwai alunu i loaa ia oe, a me kou koko i hookaheia iwaenakonu ou.
Ngeqiniso ngizatshaya izandla zami ngibabaza inzuzo engafanelanga osuyenzile kanye legazi osulichithe phakathi kwakho.
14 E hiki anei i kou naau ke hoomanawanui, a e ikaika anei kou mau lima i na la e lalau aku ai au ia oe? Na'u na Iehova i olelo, a na'u no ia o hana.
Isibindi sakho sizaqinisela yini loba izandla zakho ziqine ngosuku ngiqondana lawe na? Mina Thixo sengikhulumile, njalo ngizakwenza lokho.
15 E lulu aku au ia oe iwaena o na lahuikanaka, a e hooleilei aku ia oe iwaena o na aina, a e hoopau aku i kou haumia mailoko aku ou.
Ngizakuhlakazela phakathi kwezizwe ngikuchithachithele emazweni; lokungcola kwakho ngizakuqeda.
16 A e lawe oe i kou hooilina iloko ou iho, imua i ke alo o na lahuikanaka, a e ike oe owau no Iehova.
Lapho usungcolisiwe phambi kwezizwe, uzakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.’”
17 Hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
Ilizwi likaThixo laselifika kimi lisithi:
18 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, ua lilo ka ohana a Iseraela i lepo ia'u nei; o lakou a pau he keleawe, he piuta, he hao, a he kepaupoka, iloko o ka umu hoohehee; he lepo no hoi o ke kala.
“Ndodana yomuntu, indlu ka-Israyeli isibe ngamanyala kimi. Bonke balithusi, lomnuso, lensimbi kanye lomthofi okusele phakathi kwemvutho. Kungamanyele esiliva.
19 Nolaila, wahi a Iehova ka Haku; no ka lilo ana o oukou a pau i lepo, nolaila, ea, e hoakoakoa au ia oukou iwaenakonu o Ierusalema;
Ngakho nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: ‘Ngoba lonke selibe ngamanyele, ngizaliqoqela eJerusalema.
20 E like me ko lakou houluulu ana i ke kala, a me ke keleawe, a me ka hao, a me ke kepaupoka a me ka piuta iwaenakonu o ka umu hoohehee, e puhi i ke ahi maluna olaila, e hoohehee iho; pela e houluulu ai au, me ko'u huhu a me ko'u ukiuki, a e waiho iho, a e hoohehee ia oukou.
Njengabantu beqoqela isiliva, lethusi, lensimbi, lomthofi kanye lomnuso emvuthweni ukuba kuncibilikiswe ngomfutho womlilo, ngizaliqoqa kanjalo ngokuthukuthela kwami langolaka lwami ngilibeke phakathi kwedolobho ngilincibilikise.
21 Oia, e houluulu au ia oukou, a e puhi maluna o oukou iloko o ke ahi o ko'u ukiuki, a pau oukou i ka hooheheeia iwaenakonu ona.
Ngizaliqoqa njalo ngizalivuthela ngolaka lwami oluvuthayo, njalo lizancibilikiswa phakathi kwalo.
22 Me he kala la i hooheheeia iwaena konu o ka umu hoohehee, pela oukou e hooheheeia'i iloko ona; a e ike oukou ua ninini aku au i ko'u huhu, maluna o oukou.
Njengesiliva sincibilikiselwa phakathi kwemvutho, kanjalo lani lizancibilikiselwa phakathi kwalo, njalo lizakwazi ukuthi mina Thixo sengithululele ulaka lwami phezu kwenu.’”
23 Hiki mai la hoi ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
Ilizwi likaThixo lafika futhi kimi lisithi:
24 E ke keiki a ke kanaka, e olelo aku oe ia ia, O oe no ka aina i waele ole ia, a i ua ole ia i ka la i huhu ai.
“Ndodana yomuntu, tshono elizweni uthi, ‘Uyilizwe elingazange libe lezulu kumbe imikhizo ngosuku lwentukuthelo.’
25 He ohumu kipi o kona mau kaula iwaenakonu ona, e like me ka liona e uwo ana, e haehae ana i ka mea pio; ua ai lakou i na uhane, ua lawe lakou i ke kala, a me na mea makamae; a ua hoonui lakou nona i na wahinekanemake iwaena konu ona.
Kulokucetshwa kwamacebo amabi ngamakhosana alo phakathi kwalo njengesilwane esibhongayo sidlithiza esikubuleleyo; adla abantu, athathe inotho kanye lezinto eziligugu, andise labafelokazi phakathi kwalo.
26 Ua hana ino kona mau kahuna pule i kuu kanawai, a ua hoohaumia lakou i kuu mea hoano; aole lakou i hookaawale iwaena o na mea hoano a me na mea haumia, aole hoi i hoakaka lakou iwaena o ka mea maemae a me ka mea maemae ole, ua huna hoi lakou i ko lakou mau maka i ko'u mau Sabati, a ua hoohaumiaia wau iwaena o lakou.
Abaphristi balo bephula umthetho wami njalo bahlambaza lezinto zami ezingcwele; kabehlukanisi phakathi kokungcwele okujayelekileyo; bafundisa besithi akulamehluko phakathi kokungcolileyo lokungangcolanga; njalo bavala amehlo abo ekugcineni amaSabatha ami, okwenza ngithukwe phakathi kwabo.
27 O kona mau alii, iwaenakonu ona, ua like me na ilio hihiu hae e haehae ana i ka mea pio, e hookahe i ke koko, a e luku hoi i na uhane e loaa ia lakou ka waiwai alunu.
Izikhulu zalo phakathi kwalo zinjengezimpisi zidlithiza ezikubuleleyo; zichitha igazi zibulale labantu ukuba zithole inzuzo engafanelanga.
28 Ua hamo aku kona mau kaula ia lakou me ka puna ikaika ole, e nana ana i ka mea lapuwale, a e wanana ana i na mea wahahee no lakou, e olelo ana, Ke i mai nei Iehova ka Haku penei, aole nae i olelo Iehova.
Abaphrofethi balo bacomba izenzo zazo ngemibono yamanga lokuhlahlula okungamanga. Bathi, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi’ kodwa uThixo engakhulumanga.
29 Ua hooluhihewa na kanaka o ka aina, a kaili wale i ka mea kaili, ua hookaumaha lakou i ka mea haahaa, a me ka mea nele; oia, ua hookaumaha lakou i ka malihini ma ka pono ole.
Abantu belizwe benza imisebenzi yokuqilibezela lokuphanga abanye; bancindezela abayanga labaswelayo, baphathe kubi labezizweni, babenqabele ukulunga.
30 Imi aku la au i kahi kanaka iwaena o lakou e hana hou i ka pa, a e ku ma kahi naha imua o ko'u alo no ka aina, i ole au e luku aku ia ia; aole hoi i loaa ia'u.
Ngadinga umuntu phakathi kwabo owayengakha umduli ame phambi kwami esikhaleni emele ilizwe ukuze ngingalitshabalalisi, kodwa ngamswela.
31 Nolaila ninini aku la au i ko'u ukiuki maluna o lakou, ua hoopau au ia lakou me ke ahi o ko'u huhu; o ko lakou aoao ponoi ka'u i hoopai aku ai maluna o ko lakou mau poo, wahi a Iehova ka Haku.
Ngakho ngizathululela ukuthukuthela kwami phezu kwabo ngibaqede ngolaka lwami oluvuthayo, ngikwehlisele phezu kwamakhanda abo bonke abakwenzayo, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.”
