1 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne,
Ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi futhi, 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 kubantwana babantu bakho, uthi kubo: Ilizwe, lapho ngiletha inkemba phezu kwalo, labantu belizwe bathathe umuntu emingceleni yakibo, bambeke abe ngumlindi wabo,
3 negesigeno ha' vahe'ma esageno kesuno'a, ha' vahe neanki kva hiho huno ufe reno vahera huzmasamino.
lapho ebona inkemba isiza phezu kwelizwe, avuthele uphondo, axwayise 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.
kuzakuthi loba ngubani ozwa umsindo wophondo, kodwa angaxwayi, lapho inkemba ifika, imsuse, 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.
Uzwile ukukhala kophondo, kodwa angaxwayi; igazi lakhe lizakuba phezu kwakhe. Kodwa oxwayayo uzawophula umphefumulo wakhe.
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, angavutheli uphondo, abantu bengaxwayiswa, aluba inkemba ifika, isuse umuntu phakathi kwabo, yena ususwa esesonweni sakhe, kodwa igazi lakhe ngizalibiza esandleni somlindi.
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.
Wena-ke, ndodana yomuntu, ngikubeke waba ngumlindi endlini kaIsrayeli; ngakho uzakuzwa ilizwi elivela emlonyeni wami, ubaxwayise ngokuvela 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.
Uba ngisithi komubi: Mubi, uzakufa lokufa; uba wena ungakhulumi ukuxwayisa omubi atshiye indlela yakhe, lowo omubi uzafela esonweni sakhe, kodwa igazi lakhe ngizalibiza esandleni sakho.
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 wena uba umxwayisa omubi ngendlela yakhe ukuthi aphenduke kuyo; uba engaphenduki endleleni yakhe, yena uzafela ebubini bakhe, kodwa wena usuwophule umphefumulo wakho.
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.
Ngakho, wena ndodana yomuntu, tshono kuyo indlu kaIsrayeli: Likhuluma ngokunjalo lisithi: Ngoba iziphambeko zethu lezono zethu ziphezu kwethu, thina sicikizeke sikuzo, pho, sizaphila njani?
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: Kuphila kwami, itsho iNkosi uJehova, isibili kangithokozi ngokufa komubi, kodwa ngokuthi omubi aphenduke endleleni yakhe aphile. Phendukani, phendukani ezindleleni zenu ezimbi; ngoba lizafelani, lina ndlu kaIsrayeli?
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.
Wena-ke, ndodana yomuntu, tshono ebantwaneni babantu bakiniuthi: Ukulunga kolungileyo kakuyikumophula ngosuku lwesiphambeko sakhe; mayelana lenkohlakalo yokhohlakeleyo, kayikuwa ngayo ngosuku azaphenduka ngalo enkohlakalweni yakhe; lolungileyo kayikuba lakho ukuphila ngokulunga kwakhe ngosuku ona ngalo.
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.
Lapho ngizakutsho kolungileyo ukuthi uzaphila isibili; uba yena ethembela ekulungeni kwakhe, enze isiphambeko, konke ukulunga kwakhe kakuyikukhunjulwa; kodwa ngenxa yobubi bakhe abenzileyo, uzabufela.
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,
Futhi uba ngisitsho kokhohlakeleyo ukuthi: Uzakufa lokufa; uba ephenduka esonweni sakhe, enze isahlulelo 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.
okhohlakeleyo ebuyisela isibambiso, abhadale impango, ahambe ngezimiso zempilo, ukuthi angenzi isiphambeko, uzaphila isibili, kayikufa.
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.
Kakukho lasinye sezono zakhe azenzileyo esizakhunjulwa kuye; wenzile isahlulelo lokulungileyo; uzaphila isibili.
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.
Kodwa abantwana babantu bakini bathi: Indlela yeNkosi kayilingani; kanti ngeyabo indlela engalinganiyo.
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 olungileyo ephenduka ekulungeni kwakhe, enze isiphambeko, uzakufa ngenxa yaso.
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.
Kodwa uba okhohlakeleyo ephenduka kunkohlakalo yakhe, enze isahlulelo lokulungileyo, yena uzaphila ngakho.
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.
Kanti lithi: Indlela yeNkosi kayilingani. Wena ndlu kaIsrayeli, ngizalahlulela, ngulowo lalowo njengendlela 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.
Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wetshumi lambili wokuthunjwa kwethu, ngenyanga yetshumi, ngolwesihlanu lwenyanga, owayephunyukile eJerusalema wafika kimi esithi: Umuzi usutshayiwe.
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.
Kwathi isandla seNkosi saba phezu kwami kusihlwa, ophunyukileyo engakafiki, savula umlomo wami, waze wafika kimi ekuseni. Ngokunjalo umlomo wami wavuleka, kangabe ngisaba yisimungulu.
23 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne,
Ilizwi leNkosi 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, abahlali balawomanxiwa elizwe lakoIsrayeli bakhuluma besithi: UAbrahama wayemunye, wadla ilifa lelizwe; kodwa thina sibanengi; ilizwe silinikiwe ukuba yilifa.
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: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Lidla okulegazi, liphakamisele amehlo enu ezithombeni zenu, lichithe igazi; kambe lizakudla ilifa lelizwe yini?
26 Tamagra hateti rehatri huta vahe'zana nehanareta, tava'ontamirema nemaniza vahe'mokizmi a'nanema renehanaraza vahe'mota ama mopa erisanti haregahune huta nehazo?
Lima phezu kwenkemba yenu, lenze isinengiso, lingcolise, ngulowo lalowo umfazi kamakhelwane wakhe; kambe lizakudla ilifa lelizwe yini?
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 njalo kubo: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Kuphila kwami, isibili labo abasemanxiweni bazakuwa ngenkemba; lalowo osegcekeni ngizamnikela ezilweni ukuthi zimudle, lalabo abasezinqabeni labasezimbalwini bazakufa ngomatshayabhuqe wesifo.
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.
Ngoba ngizalenza ilizwe libe lunxiwa lencithakalo, lokuziqhenya kwamandla alo kuzaphela, lezintaba zakoIsrayeli zibe yinkangala, ukuze kungabi khona odlulayo.
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.
Khona bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi, lapho sengenze ilizwe laba yinkangala lesesabiso ngenxa yawo wonke amanyala abo abawenzileyo.
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.
Wena-ke, ndodana yomuntu, abantwana babantu bakini basakhuluma ngawe ngasemidulwini laseminyango yezindlu, njalo omunye ekhuluma komunye, ngulowo lalowo kumfowabo, besithi: Wozani, ngiyacela, lizwe ukuthi yilizwi bani eliphuma eNkosini.
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.
Njalo bayeza kuwe njengokuza kwabantu, bahlale phambi kwakho njengabantu bami, bezwe amazwi akho, kodwa bangawenzi; ngoba ngomlomo wabo babonakalisa uthando olukhulu, kodwa inhliziyo yabo ilandela inzuzo yabo embi.
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.
Khangela-ke, kubo unjengengoma ethandekayo, ilizwi elimnandi, lowazi kuhle ukutshaya ichacho; ngoba besizwa amazwi akho kodwa bengawenzi.
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.
Kodwa ekufikeni kwalokhu (khangela, kuzafika), khona bazakwazi ukuthi bekukhona umprofethi phakathi kwabo.
