Ezeekyeri 33
1 Ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira nate n’aŋŋamba nti,
Ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi futhi, lisithi:
2 “Omwana w’omuntu yogera eri abantu obategeeze nti, ‘Bwe ndirumba ensi n’ekitala, abantu ab’omu nsi ne baddira omu ku bo ne bamufuula omukuumi waabwe,
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 n’alaba ekitala nga kijja eri ensi, n’afuuwa ekkondeere ng’alabula abantu,
lapho ebona inkemba isiza phezu kwelizwe, avuthele uphondo, axwayise abantu,
4 awo omuntu yenna bw’aliwulira ekkondeere n’atalabuka ekitala bwe kirijja ne kigyawo obulamu bwe, omusaayi gwe guliba ku mutwe gwe ye.
kuzakuthi loba ngubani ozwa umsindo wophondo, kodwa angaxwayi, lapho inkemba ifika, imsuse, igazi lakhe lizakuba phezu kwekhanda lakhe.
5 Kubanga yawulira ekkondeere n’atalabuka, omusaayi gwe kyeguliva gubeera ku mutwe gwe ye. Singa yakola nga bwe yalabulwa yandiwonyezza obulamu bwe.
Uzwile ukukhala kophondo, kodwa angaxwayi; igazi lakhe lizakuba phezu kwakhe. Kodwa oxwayayo uzawophula umphefumulo wakhe.
6 Naye omukuumi bw’alaba ekitala nga kijja n’atafuuwa kkondeere okulabula abantu, ekitala ne kijja ne kigyawo obulamu bw’omu ku bo, omuntu oyo aliggyibwawo olw’obutali butuukirivu bwe, naye omusaayi gwe ndiguvunaana omukuumi.’
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 “Omwana w’omuntu, nkufudde omukuumi ow’ennyumba ya Isirayiri, Noolwekyo wulira kye nkugamba, obalabule.
Wena-ke, ndodana yomuntu, ngikubeke waba ngumlindi endlini kaIsrayeli; ngakho uzakuzwa ilizwi elivela emlonyeni wami, ubaxwayise ngokuvela kimi.
8 Bwe ŋŋambanga omukozi w’ebibi nti, ‘Ggwe omwonoonyi, mazima olifa,’ n’otoyogera okumulabula okuleka ekkubo lye, omwonoonyi oyo alifa olw’ebibi bye, naye omusaayi gwe ndiguvunaana gwe.
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 Naye bw’olabulanga omwonoonyi okuleka ekkubo lye, n’ajeema, alifiira mu bibi bye, naye ggwe oliba olokodde obulamu bwo.
Kodwa wena uba umxwayisa omubi ngendlela yakhe ukuthi aphenduke kuyo; uba engaphenduki endleleni yakhe, yena uzafela ebubini bakhe, kodwa wena usuwophule umphefumulo wakho.
10 “Omwana w’omuntu, tegeeza ennyumba ya Isirayiri nti, Mwogera nti, ‘Okusobya kwaffe n’okwonoona kwaffe kutuzitoowerera, era tuyongobera mu kwo, tuyinza tutya okuwona?’
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 Bategeeze nti, ‘Nga bwe ndi omulamu, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, sisanyukira kufa kw’abakozi ba bibi, wabula bo okukyuka ne bava mu kkubo lyabwe ebbi ne baba balamu. Mukyuke, mukyuke okuva mu makubo gammwe amabi. Lwaki mufa, mmwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri?’
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 “Kale nno, omwana w’omuntu kyonoova otegeeza abantu bo nti, ‘Obutuukirivu obw’omutuukirivu tebulimuwonyesa bw’alijeema, era n’obutali butuukirivu bw’atalina butuukirivu tebulimuzikiriza bw’alikyuka n’abuleka. Omuntu omutuukirivu, bw’aliyonoona, taliba mulamu olw’obutuukirivu bwe obw’emabega.’
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 Bwe ndigamba omutuukirivu nga mazima ddala aliba mulamu, naye ne yeesiga obutuukirivu bwe n’ayonoona, tewaliba ne kimu ku bikolwa eby’obutuukirivu bye yakola ebirijjukirwa, naye mu butali butuukirivu bwe bw’akoze omwo mw’alifiira.
Lapho ngizakutsho kolungileyo ukuthi uzaphila isibili; uba yena ethembela ekulungeni kwakhe, enze isiphambeko, konke ukulunga kwakhe kakuyikukhunjulwa; kodwa ngenxa yobubi bakhe abenzileyo, uzabufela.
14 Ate bwe ndigamba omwonoonyi nti, ‘Mazima ddala olifa,’ naye n’akyuka okuleka ebibi bye, n’akola ebyalagirwa era ebituufu,
Futhi uba ngisitsho kokhohlakeleyo ukuthi: Uzakufa lokufa; uba ephenduka esonweni sakhe, enze isahlulelo lokulungileyo,
15 era bw’alisasula ebbanja lye, n’azaayo ne bye yabba, n’atambulira mu mateeka agaleeta obulamu, n’atayonoona, mazima ddala aliba mulamu, talifa.
okhohlakeleyo ebuyisela isibambiso, abhadale impango, ahambe ngezimiso zempilo, ukuthi angenzi isiphambeko, uzaphila isibili, kayikufa.
16 Tewaliba ne kimu ku bibi bye yakola ebirijjukirwa eri ye; aliba akoze ebyalagirwa era ebituufu, era aliba mulamu.
Kakukho lasinye sezono zakhe azenzileyo esizakhunjulwa kuye; wenzile isahlulelo lokulungileyo; uzaphila isibili.
17 “Naye ate abantu ab’ensi yo boogera nti, Ekkubo lya Mukama si lya bwenkanya, so nga ate ekkubo lyabwe lye litali lya bwenkanya.
Kodwa abantwana babantu bakini bathi: Indlela yeNkosi kayilingani; kanti ngeyabo indlela engalinganiyo.
18 Omuntu omutuukirivu bw’alikyuka okuva mu butuukirivu bwe n’akola ebibi, alifa olw’ebibi bye.
Nxa olungileyo ephenduka ekulungeni kwakhe, enze isiphambeko, uzakufa ngenxa yaso.
19 Ate omukozi w’ebibi bw’alikyuka okuleka obutali butuukirivu bwe n’akola ebyalagirwa era ebituufu, aliba mulamu olw’ebyo by’akoze.
Kodwa uba okhohlakeleyo ephenduka kunkohlakalo yakhe, enze isahlulelo lokulungileyo, yena uzaphila ngakho.
20 Naye mmwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri ne mwogera nti, ‘Ekkubo lya Mukama si lya bwenkanya.’ Naye ndibasalira omusango buli muntu amakubo ge nga bwe gali.”
Kanti lithi: Indlela yeNkosi kayilingani. Wena ndlu kaIsrayeli, ngizalahlulela, ngulowo lalowo njengendlela zakhe.
21 Mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’ebiri nga tuli mu buwaŋŋanguse, mu mwezi ogw’ekkumi ku lunaku olwokutaano, omusajja kaawonawo n’ava e Yerusaalemi n’ajja okuntegeeza nti, “Ekibuga kiwambiddwa.”
Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wetshumi lambili wokuthunjwa kwethu, ngenyanga yetshumi, ngolwesihlanu lwenyanga, owayephunyukile eJerusalema wafika kimi esithi: Umuzi usutshayiwe.
22 Naye akawungeezi nga kaawonawo tannatuuka, omukono gwa Mukama gwali gunziseeko, ng’asumuludde akamwa kange, omusajja n’alyoka atuuka enkeera. Nnali ntandise okwogera nga sikyali kasiru.
Kwathi isandla seNkosi saba phezu kwami kusihlwa, ophunyukileyo engakafiki, savula umlomo wami, waze wafika kimi ekuseni. Ngokunjalo umlomo wami wavuleka, kangabe ngisaba yisimungulu.
23 Awo ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda ne kinzijira n’aŋŋamba nti,
Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kimi, lisithi:
24 “Omwana w’omuntu, abatuuze ab’omu matongo ago mu nsi ya Isirayiri, boogera nti, ‘Obanga Ibulayimu yali muntu omu n’agabana ensi, naffe abangi, tuligabana.’
Ndodana yomuntu, abahlali balawomanxiwa elizwe lakoIsrayeli bakhuluma besithi: UAbrahama wayemunye, wadla ilifa lelizwe; kodwa thina sibanengi; ilizwe silinikiwe ukuba yilifa.
25 Noolwekyo bategeeze nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’eggye nti, Bwe muba nga mulya ennyama erimu omusaayi, ne musinza bakatonda bammwe abalala, ne muyiwa omusaayi, musaanidde okugabana ensi?
Ngakho tshono kubo: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Lidla okulegazi, liphakamisele amehlo enu ezithombeni zenu, lichithe igazi; kambe lizakudla ilifa lelizwe yini?
26 Mwesiga ekitala, ne mukola eby’ekivve, buli musajja n’ayenda ku muka muliraanwa we. Kale munaayinza mutya okugabana ensi?’
Lima phezu kwenkemba yenu, lenze isinengiso, lingcolise, ngulowo lalowo umfazi kamakhelwane wakhe; kambe lizakudla ilifa lelizwe yini?
27 “Bagambe nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti: Nga bwe ndi omulamu, abaasigalawo mu bifulukwa balittibwa n’ekitala, n’abo abaliba ku ttale balitaagulwataagulwa ensolo enkambwe, n’abo abaliba beekwese mu biro ebinywevu ne mu mpuku balifa kawumpuli.
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 Era ensi ndigifuula amatongo era etaliimu mugaso, era n’amaanyi ge yeewaana nago galikoma, era n’ensozi za Isirayiri ziryabulirwa, ne wataba n’omu azitambulirako.
Ngoba ngizalenza ilizwe libe lunxiwa lencithakalo, lokuziqhenya kwamandla alo kuzaphela, lezintaba zakoIsrayeli zibe yinkangala, ukuze kungabi khona odlulayo.
29 Olwo balimanya nga nze Mukama Katonda, bwe ndifuula ensi okuba amatongo era etaliimu mugaso olw’ebikolwa eby’ekivve bye bakoze.’
Khona bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi, lapho sengenze ilizwe laba yinkangala lesesabiso ngenxa yawo wonke amanyala abo abawenzileyo.
30 “Naawe ggwe omwana w’omuntu, abatuuze ab’omu ggwanga lyo abatuula ku Bbugwe ne mu nzigi ez’amayumba bagambagana nti, ‘Mujje tuwulire ekigambo ekiva eri Mukama Katonda,’
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 abantu bange nga bwe batera okukola, ne bawulira byoyogera naye ne batabikola, ne boolesa okwagala kwabwe n’emimwa gyabwe, naye ng’emitima gyabwe gigoberera amagoba gaabwe,
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 laba gye bali oli ng’omuntu ayimba oluyimba olw’okwagala mu ddoboozi eddungi, era amanyi okukuba obulungi ennanga, kubanga bawulira ebigambo byo naye ne batabissamu nkola.
Khangela-ke, kubo unjengengoma ethandekayo, ilizwi elimnandi, lowazi kuhle ukutshaya ichacho; ngoba besizwa amazwi akho kodwa bengawenzi.
33 “Bino byonna bwe birituukirira, era bijja kutuukirira, kale balimanya nga nnabbi abadde mu bo.”
Kodwa ekufikeni kwalokhu (khangela, kuzafika), khona bazakwazi ukuthi bekukhona umprofethi phakathi kwabo.
