Izikeli 33
1 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne,
Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
2 Vahe'mofo mofavre Izikieliga, vaheka'a amanage hunka zamasamio, Nagrama ha' vahe'ma huzmantenuge'za, ha'ma eme huramante'nageta ha' vahe'ma esigeno'ma avuma anteno kegava huno mani'neno, kezama atino huramasami vahera mago ama mopafi vahepinti hu hamprintenkeno mani'neno,
“Ndodana yomuntu, khuluma labantu bakini uthi kubo, ‘Lapho ngiletha inkemba ukumelana lelizwe, abantu balelolizwe bakhethe omunye wamadoda akibo bamenze abe ngumlindi,
3 negesigeno ha' vahe'ma esageno kesuno'a, ha' vahe neanki kva hiho huno ufe reno vahera huzmasamino.
abone inkemba isizamelana lelizwe abesetshaya icilongo exwayisa abantu,
4 Hagi ufema resigeno'ma nentahino'ma zofe'zafema nehuno mani'nenigeno, ha' vahe'moma eme ahesageno frisiana agri korankumimo'a mago vahetera eovugosianki, agra'a erigahie.
lapho-ke nxa loba ngubani ozwa icilongo kodwa angasinaki isixwayiso njalo inkemba ifike imbulale, igazi lakhe lizakuba phezu kwekhanda lakhe.
5 Agra ufema regeno nentahino'a koro freno agura vazigaragi, neginagi huno mani'negeno eme ahe'nazankino, mago vahe'mo'a agri korankumira e'origahie.
Njengoba ukukhala kwecilongo ekuzwile kodwa kaze asinaka isixwayiso, igazi lakhe lizakuba phezu kwekhanda lakhe. Aluba ubesinakile isixwayiso, ubezazisindisa.
6 Hianagi avuma anteno ha' vaheku'ma kegavama hu'nea ne'mo'ma kesigeno, ha' vahe'ma esigeno'ma ufema reno koro kema vahe'ma ozamasami'ma mani'nenigeno, ha' vahe'mo'za e'za mago'mofoma eme ahesageno frisiana, e'i ana nera kefo avu'ava'ma nehia nona'a frigahianagi, agri korankumira avuma ante'noma ha' vahe'ma esigu'ma kvama hu'nea ne'mo erigahie.
Kodwa nxa umlindi ebona inkemba isiza angatshayi icilongo axwayise abantu, njalo inkemba ifike ibulale omunye wabo, lowomuntu uzasuswa ngenxa yesono sakhe, kodwa mina ngizabeka umlandu wegazi lakhe kumlindi.’
7 E'ina hu'negu vahe'mofo mofavre Izikieliga, ha' vahe'ma esigu Israeli vahete kegava huo hu'na hu hamprigante'noe. E'igu Nagrama hanuankea erinka korokea zamasamigahane.
Ndodana yomuntu, sengikwenze umlindi wendlu ka-Israyeli; ngakho zwana ilizwi engilikhulumayo ubanike isixwayiso esivela kimi.
8 Hagi kefo avu'ava'ma nehia vaheku'ma Nagrama hu'na, tamage kagra frigahane hu'nama hanugenkama, ana nanekema erinka ome osamisankeno ana ne'mo'ma havi avu'avazama atreno agu'a rukrahe'ma osaniana, agra kumi'ma hu'nea zantera frigahie. Hianagi agri korankumimo'a kagrite evugahie.
Lapho ngisithi komubi, ‘Wena muntu omubi, uzakufa impela,’ njalo wena ungabe usakhuluma ukuba umyekelise izindlela zakhe, lowomuntu omubi uzafela izono zakhe, njalo mina ngikubeka umlandu wegazi lakhe.
9 Hianagi kefo avu'ava'ma nehia vahe'ma ana nanekema erinka ome asamisankeno nentahino, havi avu'avazama atreno agua rukrahema osaniana, agra kumima hu'nea zantera frigahie. Hianagi kagra'a kaguvazigahane.
Kodwa nxa umxwayisa umuntu omubi ukuba aphenduke ezindleleni zakhe kodwa angenzi njalo, uzafela izono zakhe, kodwa wena uzakuba uzisindisile.
10 Hagi kagra vahe'mofo mofavre Izikieliga amanage hunka Israeli vahera zamasamio, tamagra amanage nehaze, tagrama huna hazenke zamo'ene kumi'mo'ene refiterantegeta haviza huta mani'none. Hagi inankna huta tagura vazigahune? huta nehaze.
Ndodana yomuntu, tshono kuyo indlu ka-Israyeli uthi, ‘Nanku elikutshoyo ukuthi, “Iziphambeko zethu lezono ziyasisinda, njalo siyacikizeka ngenxa yazo. Pho singaphila njani na?”’
11 Hagi amanage hunka zamasamio, Nagra kefo avu'ava'ma nehia vahe'ma nefrige'na musena nosue. Hianagi kefo avu'ava'ma nehia vahe'mo'ma agu'ama rukrahe huno mani'zanku nave'nesie. Hagi kagu'a rukrahe huo, kagu'a rukrahe huo. Nahanigeta Israeli vahe'mota kumi avu'ava zampina mani'neta frigahaze?
Tshono kubo uthi, ‘Ngeqiniso elinjengoba ngikhona, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi, kangithokozi ngokufa kwababi, kodwa ukuba baphenduke ezindleleni zabo baphile. Phendukani! Phendukani ezindleleni zenu ezimbi! Kungani umele ufe, wena ndlu ka-Israyeli?’
12 Hagi vahe'mofo mofavre Izikieliga zamasmio, mago fatgo avu'ava'ma nehania ne'mo'ma kumi'ma haniana, ko'ma hu'nea fatgo avu'ava'amo'a agura ovazigahie. Hagi mago kefo avu'ava'ma nehania ne'mo'ma, agu'a rukrahe huno fatgo avu'ava haniana, ko'ma hu'nea kefo avu'ava'amo'a azeri havizana osugosie.
Ngakho-ke, ndodana yomuntu, tshono ebantwini bakini uthi, ‘Ukulunga komuntu olungileyo kakuyikumsindisa lapho engalaleli, njalo lobubi bomuntu omubi kabuyikumwisa lapho ephenduka kubo. Umuntu olungileyo, lapho esona, kasoke avunyelwe ukuphila ngenxa yokulunga kwakhe kwakuqala.’
13 Hagi fatgo avu'ava'ma nehania vaheku'ma hu'na, kagra ofrinka amne manigahane hu'na hunte'nenua ne'mo'ma, fatgo avu'ava zama'are'ma amentintima nehuno, kumi'ma haniana magore hu'na fatgo avu'ava'ma hu'nea zankura antahiomigosuanki, ana kumi avu'ava'ma hu'nea nona'a frigahie.
Nxa ngitshela umuntu olungileyo ukuthi impela uzaphila, kodwa abe esethemba ukulunga kwakhe enze okubi, akukho okwezinto ezilungileyo azenzayo okuzakhunjulwa; uzafela okubi asekwenzile.
14 Hagi kefo avu'ava'ma nehia vaheku'ma frigahane hu'nama huntesua vahe'mo'ma, ana kumi avu'avazama atreno agua'ama rukrahe huno fatgo avu'avazama nehuno,
Njalo nxa ngisithi emuntwini omubi, ‘Impela uzakufa,’ kodwa aphenduke ezonweni zakhe enze okufaneleyo lokulungileyo,
15 negami'na erisue huno huvempa nehuno vahe'mofo zama eri'nesia zana eme nemino, musufama eri'nesia zana venafo ome nemino, vahe'mo'ma kasefa'ma huno mani kasege amage'ma antesia vahe'mo'a, agra ofri knare huno manigahie.
lapho ebuyisela lokho akuthatha kuyisibambiso salokho akwebolekisayo, abuyisele akwebayo, alandele izimiso ezinika ukuphila, angenzi okubi, uzaphila impela; kasoze afe.
16 Ana hanige'na kumi'ma hu'nea kumi avu'ava'agura mago'enena nagesa ontahigosue. Hagi agra fatgo avu'ava hu'neankino, tamage huno ofrigahianki amne kasefa huno manigahie.
Akukho lasinye sezono azenzayo esizakhunjulwa ngaye. Usenze okufaneleyo lokulungileyo; uzaphila impela.
17 Hianagi Izikieliga vaheka'amo'za hu'za, Ra Anumzamo'a fatgo avu'avara nosie hu'za nehaze. Hianagi fatgo avu'ava'ma osu vahera zamagra Israeli vahe mani'naze.
Ikanti abantu bakini bathi, ‘Indlela kaThixo kayilunganga.’ Kodwa ngeyabo indlela engalunganga.
18 Hagi fatgo avu'ava'ma nehania vahe'mo'ma atreno kefo avu'ava'ma haniana, agra ana kefo avu'ava'ma hania zantera frigahie.
Nxa umuntu olungileyo eguquka ekulungeni kwakhe enze okubi, uzakufela lokho.
19 Hagi kefo avu'ava'ma nehania vahe'mo'ma ana kefo avu'avazama atreno agu'ama rukrahe huno knare huno fatgo avu'ava'ma haniana, agra ana fatgo avu'ava'ma hu'nea zantera ofri amne manigahie.
Njalo nxa umuntu omubi ephenduka ebubini bakhe enze okufaneleyo lokulungileyo, uzaphila ngenxa yokwenzanjalo.
20 Hanki tamagra Israeli vahe'mota huta, Ra Anumzamo'a fatgo avu'avara nosie huta hu'nazanki'na, Nagra mago mago vahe'mota tamavu tamavara refko hu'na ketere hugahue.
Ikanti, wena ndlu ka-Israyeli, uthi, ‘Indlela kaThixo kayilunganga.’ Kodwa mina ngizakwahlulela lowo lalowo wenu ngokufanele izindlela zakhe.”
21 Hagi Babilonima kinama ome hutama mani'nonkeno, 12fuma hia kafumofona 10ni ikantera 5fu knazupa, Jerusalemiti mago ne'mo'a freno Babiloni ehanatino, Jerusalemi rankumara ha' vahe'mo'za eme eri haviza hazage'na koro frena oe huno eme hu'ne.
Ngomnyaka wetshumi lambili wokuthunjwa kwethu, ngenyanga yetshumi ngosuku lwesihlanu, umuntu owayebalekele eJerusalema wafika kimi wathi, “Idolobho selinqotshiwe!”
22 Hagi anama koro freno esia nera oki egahianki nehuno, kinaga Ra Anumzamofo hankavemo'a nagrite eno, nagira eri knare huno nagerura nami'neankina ana ne'ma nanterama esige'na agefuna atupa hu'nea vahe knara osu'na, amne agranena keaga hugara hu'noe.
Kusihlwa umuntu lowo engakafiki, isandla sikaThixo sasiphezu kwami, njalo wavula umlomo wami umuntu lowo engakafiki ekuseni. Ngakho umlomo wami wawusuvuliwe njalo ngangingasathulanga.
23 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne,
Ilizwi likaThixo laselifika kimi lisithi:
24 Vahe'mofo mofavre Izikieliga, Israeli mopafima haviza hu'nea ranra kumatmimpima nemani'za vahe'mo'za amanage hu'za nevaze, Abrahamu'a magoke ne' mani'neanagi Anumzamo Israeli mopa amigeno erisantihareno mani'neane. Hianagi menina tagra rama'a vahe mani'nonankino, tamagerfa huno ama mopa Anumzamo'a tagri tami'ne hu'za nehaze.
“Ndodana yomuntu, abantu abahlala emanxiweni lawana elizweni lako-Israyeli bathi, ‘U-Abhrahama wayengumuntu oyedwa nje kuphela, ikanti ilizwe lalingelakhe. Kodwa thina sibanengi; impela ilizwe siliphiwe njengelifa lethu.’
25 E'ina hu'negu amanage hunka zamasamio, Ra Anumzana Agra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, Tamagra korama me'nea ame'a neneta, zamazanteti'ma kaza osu havi anumza'ma tro'ma hunte'naza zana monora hunenteta, vahe'ma zamahe nefriza vahe'mota, ama mopa tagri mopa me'ne huta nehazo?
Ngakho tshono kubo uthi, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Njengoba lisidla inyama ilokhu ilegazi lithembe izithombe zenu njalo lichithe legazi, kambe lingaba ngabanikazi belizwe na?
26 Tamagra hateti rehatri huta vahe'zana nehanareta, tava'ontamirema nemaniza vahe'mokizmi a'nanema renehanaraza vahe'mota ama mopa erisanti haregahune huta nehazo?
Lithembe inkemba yenu, lenza izinto ezenyanyekayo, njalo omunye lomunye wenu ungcolisa umfazi kamakhelwane wakhe. Kambe lingaba ngabanikazi belizwe na?’
27 Hagi amanage hunka zamasamio, Ra Anumzana Agra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, Nagra kasefa hu'na mani'noa Anumzamo'na huankino, tamage huno Israeli mopafima havizama hu'nea kumatmimpima nemaniza vahera bainati kazinteti zamahe frigahaze. Hagi kumamofo megi'ama vanoma hanaza vahera, afi zagagafamo'za zamahe'za nesanageno, hankave vihufine havegampinema frakiza manisaza vahera krimo zamahe frigahie.
Tshono lokhu kubo uthi: ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngeqiniso elinjengoba ngikhona, labo abaseleyo emanxiweni bazabulawa ngenkemba, labo abangaphandle egangeni ngizabanikela ezinyamazaneni zeganga ukuba badliwe, njalo labo abasezinqabeni lasezimbalwini bazabulawa yisifo.
28 Hagi ana mopa eri haviza hanenke'za Israeli vahe'moma zamavufaga rama nehaza zamo'a omanenigeno, agonaramimo'a hagege huno magozana omnenkeno anampina vahera vanoa osugahie.
Ngizakwenza ilizwe libe lugwadule oluphundlekileyo, njalo ukuziqhenya kwamandla alo kuzaphela, lezintaba zako-Israyeli zizachitheka kuze kungabikhona odlula kuzo.
29 Hagi e'ina'ma hu'na ana mopama eri haviza hanugeno maka zamo'ma havizama hanige'za Nagrikura Ra Anumza mani'ne hu'za ke'za antahi'za hugahaze.
Lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo, nxa sengenze ilizwe laba lugwadule oluphundlekileyo ngenxa yezinto ezenyanyekayo abazenzileyo.’
30 Hagi vahe'mofo mofavre Izikieliga, vaheka'amo'za kuma kegina tavaonte'ma atruma huge, nonkafa zamire atruma huge'ma hazafina kagrikura amanage hu'za zamagra zamagra mani'zafina nehaze, enketa Ra Anumzamo'ma kasampa vahe'ama asamigenoma nehia naneke ome antahisune hu'za nehaze.
Okunjengawe, ndodana yomuntu, abantu bakini bakhulumisana ngawe emidulini laseminyango yezindlu besithi, omunye komunye, ‘Woza uzekuzwa ilizwi eselifike livela kuThixo.’
31 Hagi zamagra kentahi vahe tro hu'za kagritega ne-eza, Nagri vahekna hu'za kavuga emani'za kema hanankea nentahizanagi, ana nanekea ovaririgahaze. Na'ankure zamagraguke'ma antahizamo zamagu'afina avite'neankiza, vahe'ma zamazeri savri'ma hu'za zagoma eri'za feno vahe'ma mani'zankuke nentahize.
Abantu bami bayafika kuwe, njengabajayele ukukwenza, bahlale phambi kwakho ukuba bezwe amazwi akho, kodwa akutshoyo kabakwenzi. Ngemilomo yabo batsho ukuzinikela, kodwa inhliziyo zabo zihawukela inzuzo engafanelanga.
32 Hagi kagrama hana nanekemo'a zamagrama antahi'zana, ogenunu agenunuma hu zagame'ma hentofa zamanke'ma ante'za zavenama ahe so'ema nehu'za nehazankna hu'ne. Na'ankure kema hanankea antahi'nazanagi, ana nanekea ontahi'za novaririze.
Ngempela, kubo wena kawusilutho olungedlula umuntu ohlabela izingoma zothando ngelizwi elihle njalo esitshaya kuhle isiginci, ngoba amazwi akho bayawezwa, kodwa akutshoyo kabakwenzi.
33 Hagi tamagerfa huno ama ana nanekemo'a nena raga regahiankino, ana zamo'ma efore'ma hanige'za negesu'za, kasnampa nera kora tagrane mani'neane hu'za ke'za antahi'za hugahaze.
Nxa konke lokhu sekugcwalisekile njalo impela kuzakwenzakala, lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi umphrofethi ubekhona phakathi kwabantu.”
