1 Hagi Babilonima kinama ome hutama mani'nonkeno'a, 9ni kafumofona 10ni ikantera 10ni knazupa Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne.
Ngomnyaka wesificamunwemunye, ngenyanga yetshumi, ngosuku lwetshumi, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
2 Vahe'mofo mofavre Izikieliga, ama knamofo agi'a avompi krento. Na'ankure Babiloni kini ne'mo'a Jerusalemi kumara ama ana knare avazagi kagino hara huntegahie.
“Ndodana yomuntu, bhala usuku lolu, usuku lolu lona ngokwalo, ngoba iNkosi yaseBhabhiloni isivimbezele iJerusalema ngalo kanye lolusuku.
3 Keontahi vahetamina ama'na fronka ke zamasamio, Miko'zma Kegavama Hu'nea Anumzamo'a amanage hie, Ne'zama negraza kavofina tina taginteta tevefi anteho.
Tshela indlu le ehlamukayo umfanekiso uthi kubo: ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Beka imbiza yokupheka eziko; ibeke phezu kwamaseko uthele amanzi phakathi kwayo.
4 Hagi sipisipimofona knare'ma hu'nea azo'na ame'ane, amo' ame'anena tagahu osi'osi huta ana kavofina kreho. Knare'ma hu'nesia zaferina'aramina ana kavofina kre viteho.
Faka phakathi kwayo amaqatha enyama, wonke amaqatha amahle, umlenze lesiphanga. Igcwalise ngamathambo amahle;
5 Sipisipi afu kevufintira knare'ma hu'nesia afu avreta anara hiho. Tevea kitagita ra teve hugreteta ana kavofina ti taginteta ana teve agofetu antenkeno timo'ma amuho huno'ma krakra nehanifi, ana afu'mofo zaferina'a anteho.
thatha okukhethiweyo emhlambini. Basela kakhulu ngenkuni usenzela amathambo; ixhwathise upheke amathambo phakathi kwayo.
6 E'ina hu'negu Mikozama Kegavama Hu'noa Ra Anumzamo'na amanage hue, Vahe'ma zamaheno korama eri neragia Jerusalemi kumamo'a agu'afima karogroma ahe'negeno, ana karogroma sesema hu'za eri agruma nosaza kavogna hu'neankino haviza hugaha'e. Hagi ana kavofintira mago mago ame'a eritre eritre nehugeno ome vagareno.
Ngoba nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Maye kulo idolobho lokuchithwa kwegazi, kuyo imbiza esithombile, ukuthomba kwayo okungayikuphela! Thulula imbiza ukhuphe amaqhatha ngalinye ngalinye kungekho inkatho.
7 Hagi vahe'ma zamaheno korazmima eri tagi'nea koramo'a, ana kuma amu'nompi me'ne. Hagi vahe'ma zamahe'nea korana mopafi tagitregeno, kugusopamo'a refi'oteniegu have agofetu tagitre'ne.
Ngakho igazi elachithwa lidolobho leli liphakathi kwalo: lalithululela edwaleni elize; kalilithululelanga phansi lapho umhlabathi owawungaligqibela khona.
8 Hagi amate'ma me'nenama Nagrama narimpama ahenente'na nonama hunte'nugu ana a'mo'ma zamahe'nea vahe korana have agofetu amate tagitre'noe.
Ukuze ngivuse intukuthelo njalo ngiphindisele, ngabeka igazi lelo phezu kwedwala elize, ukuze lingagqitshelwa.
9 E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzana Mikozama Kegavama Hu'nea Anumzamo'a amanage hie. Vahe'ma zamaheno korama eriragi'nea rankuma'mo'a haviza hugahie. Ana kuma'ma kre tasagesua zana Nagra tusi teve hanavazintegahue.
Ngakho nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Maye kulo idolobho lokuchithwa kwegazi! Lami futhi, ngizakwenza ibonda lenkuni eliphakemeyo.
10 E'ina hu'negu tevea kitaginka, tusi teve hanavazitenka tevea taginto. Ame'a kregeno teso'e nehina, hagemare zantamina anampina atregeno zaferinamo'a teso'e hino.
Ngakho faka inkuni uphembe umlilo. Ipheke kuhle inyama, uhlanganisa leziyoliso; uyekele amathambo atshe.
11 Hagi ana kavofina mago zana onte teve tankanuzare ante'negeno, ana kavomo'a ome amuho huno agu'afima me'nea kopamo'a ome tefizo huteno, karogroma ahe'nea zana teganoperamino.
Emva kwalokho beka imbiza engelalutho phezu kwamalahle ize itshise lethusi layo livuthe ukuze ukungcola kwayo kutshe kuphele lokuthomba kwayo kutshe kuphele.
12 Hagi anama karogroma ahe'nea zana rekanopetrenaku ana'anara hiana, ana karogromo'a kanope orami'ne. Hagi tevefima kreana karogroa tegano ope'ne.
Isiphuthise imizamo yonke; uqweqwe lokuthomba kwayo kalususwanga, loba langomlilo.
13 Hagi menina havi kavukva hunka monko kavukava nehana zamo'a kazeri pehena hu'ne. Kazeri agru hunaku'ma kazeri agruma huana agrua osu'nane. Hagi ru'enena kazeri agru osu katrenugenka mani'nenanke'na narimpa ahe'zana kagrite rupopo hutregahue.
Khathesi ukungcola kwakho yisigwebo. Ngoba ngizamile ukukuhlambulula kodwa ubungeke uhlanjululwe ekungcoleni kwakho, kawuyikuhlambuluka futhi ukukuthukuthelela kwami kuze kudede.
14 Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na huankino ana zana efore hukna eankina Nagra ana zana hugahue. Nagra narimpa ahe'zana aze'orina antahintahini'a rukrahera osugahue. Hagi mago vahekura nasunkura hunte'na, otregahuanki, agrama hu'nenia avu'avate'ene agrama hu'nea zante ante'na knazana amigahue hu'na Mikozama Kegavama Hu'noa Ra Anumzamo'na hue.
Mina Thixo sengikhulumile. Isikhathi sokuba ngenze sesifikile. Kangiyikuzithiba; kangiyikuba lesihawu, kumbe ngiyekethise. Uzakwahlulelwa mayelana lokuziphatha kwakho kanye lezenzo zakho, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.’”
15 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne,
Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
16 Vahe'mofo mofavre Izikieliga, kavuma negenka kavesi kavesima hunentana aka'a kavugatira ame hu'na avre atre'za nehuanki kagra kasunkura nehunka, zavira netegeno kavunura osino.
“Ndodana yomuntu, sekuseduze ukuthi ngokugalela okukodwa nje ngisuse kuwe intokozo yamehlo akho. Kodwa ungalili kumbe ukhale loba wehlise inyembezi.
17 Vahe'mo antahisigi hunka akohenka zavira netenka, fri vahetera kasunkura osuo. Kanunte'ma ana'ma nekina tavravea eri otrenka, kaga anona hate otrenka, kagi kagona refi'otenka, tahu ne'zama eri'za eme kamisaza ne'zana ono.
Bubula uthule; ungalileli abafileyo. Bophela iqhiye yakho lamanyathela akho ezinyaweni zakho; ungambozi ingxenye yaphansi yobuso bakho loba udle ukudla komkhuba wabalilayo.”
18 E'inahu ke higena nanterana vahetaminena nanekea hutogeno, ana kinaga a'nimo'a fri'ne. Ana higeno anante nanterana nanekema nasami'neaza hu'na mani'noe.
Ngakho ngakhuluma labantu ekuseni, umkami wafa kusihlwa. Ekuseni kwakusisa ngenza njengokulaywa kwami.
19 Ana zama vahe'mo'zama nege'za, na'a tagritera fore hunaku nehigenka nehampi tasamio?
Abantu basebengibuza besithi, “Kawuyikusitshela na ukuthi izinto lezi zilani lathi?”
20 Anage hu'za nantahigazage'na amanage hu'na zamasmi'noe, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne,
Ngakho mina ngathi kubo, “Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
21 Amanage hunka Israeli vahera zamasamio, Mikozama Kegavama Hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, antahiho, tamagrama ran tamagima enerita tamavesi tamavesima hunentaza mono noni'a eri haviza hugahue. Hagi ne' mofavre nagatamima, mofa'netamia zamatreta azage'zama Judama mani'naza mofavretmia bainati kazinteti zamahe vagaregahaze.
Tshono endlini ka-Israyeli uthi, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Sekuseduze ukuthi ngingcolise indlu yami engcwele, inqaba eliziqhenya ngayo, intokozo yamehlo enu, into eliyithanda kakhulu. Amadodana lamadodakazi eliwatshiyileyo azabulawa ngenkemba.
22 E'ina hanigeta nagrama huaza huta tamagi tamagonarera refi'noteta, tahune'zama eme tamisazana onegahaze.
Njalo lizakwenza njengoba ngenzile. Kaliyikumboza ingxenye yaphansi yobuso benu loba lidle ukudla komkhuba wabalilayo.
23 Ana nehuta tamanunte'ma ananeki'za tavaravene, tamagia anonena hate otregahaze. Ana nehuta tamasunkura huta zavira ote mani'neta, kefo avu'ava zampi ome haviza nehuta, kumi'ma hu'naza zankura kragira rugahaze.
Lizafaka amaqhiye enu emakhanda enu lamanyathela enu ezinyaweni zenu. Kaliyikulila kumbe likhale kodwa lizacikizeka ngenxa yezono zenu njalo libubule phakathi kwenu.
24 Hagi Izikieli'a tamagri avame'za mani'nenketa, agrama hu'nea maka avu'ava zana tamagra hugahaze. Ama ana zamo'ma efore'ma hanigeta Mikozama Kegava Hu'nea Ra Anumza mani'ne huta Nagrira keta antahita hugahaze.
UHezekhiyeli uzakuba yisibonakaliso kini; lizakwenza njengoba enzile. Nxa lokhu kusenzakala, lizakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo Wobukhosi.’
25 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a anage huno nasami'ne, Vahe'mofo mofavre Izikieliga, Israeli vahe vihu kumara eri netre'na, musema nehu'za ra zamagima e'neri'za zana eri netre'na, zamagu'areti'ma tusiza hu'zama zamavesi nentaza zana erinetre'na, ne'mofazmia zamahe hana hugahue.
Njalo wena, ndodana yomuntu, ngosuku engizasusa ngalo inqaba yabo, intokozo yabo lodumo, injabulo yamehlo abo, isifiso senhliziyo yabo, kanye lamadodana lamadodakazi abo futhi,
26 Hagi ana'ma hanua knarera ana knazampinti'ma freno esia ne'mo'a, ana zama fore'ma hania zamofo agenkea eme kasamigahie.
ngalolosuku isiphepheli yiso esizalandisa izindaba.
27 Hagi e'i ana knazupa kagra mago avame'za mani'nenka fre'zama esaza vahera keaga hunezaminka, agafa hunka nanekea hananke'za ke'za antahizama hanazana, Miko'zama kegava hu'nea Ra Anumzane hu'za Nagrira nage'za antahiza hugahaze.
Ngalesosikhathi umlomo wakho uzavuleka; uzakhuluma laye njalo kawuyikuthula futhi. Ngakho uzakuba yisibonakaliso kubo, njalo bazakwazi ukuthi nginguThixo.”
