1 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amathathu, ngenyanga yesine ngosuku lwesihlanu, lapho ngangiphakathi kwabathunjwayo, eduze komfula uKhebhari, amazulu avuleka ngabona umbono kaNkulunkulu.
Ko eni, ʻi heʻene hoko ki hono tolungofulu ʻoe taʻu, mo hono fā ʻoe māhina, pea ʻi hono nima ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina ʻo ʻeku ʻi he kakai pōpula ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ʻo Kipa, naʻe fakaava ʻae ngaahi langi pea naʻaku mamata ki he ngaahi meʻa hā mai mei he ʻOtua.
2 Ngosuku lwesihlanu lwenyanga ngomnyaka wesihlanu wokuthunjwa kwenkosi uJehoyakhini
‌ʻI hono nima ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina ʻi hono nima taʻu ʻoe fakapōpulaʻi ʻae tuʻi ko Sihoiakimi.
3 ilizwi likaThixo lafika kuHezekhiyeli umphristi, indodana kaBhuzi, phansi komfula uKhebhari elizweni lamaBhabhiloni. Khonapho isandla sikaThixo sasiphezu kwakhe.
Naʻe hoko totonu mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia ʻIsikieli ko e taulaʻeiki, ko e foha ʻo Posi, ʻi he fonua, ʻoe kau Kalitia, ʻi he potu vaitafe ko Kipa; pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae nima ʻo Sihova ʻi ai.
4 Ngakhangela, ngabona isiphepho sisiza sivela enyakatho, kuliyezi elikhulukazi lokuphazima kombane njalo lizungezwe yikukhanya okubenyezelayo. Phakathi laphakathi komlilo kwakungathi yinsimbi evuthayo,
Pea naʻaku sio, pea vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻae ʻahiohio mei he tokelau ko e fuʻu ʻao lahi, mo e afi naʻe femamioʻaki, pea naʻe takatakai ia ʻe he maama, pea kikila mai mei hono potu ʻi loto ʻo hangē ko e ʻamipa, mei he loto afi.
5 njalo phakathi komlilo kwakulokwakungathi yizidalwa ezine eziphilayo. Ngokukhangeleka isimo sazo sasingesomuntu,
Pea naʻe haʻu foki mei he loto meʻa ʻae tatau ʻoe meʻa moʻui ʻe fā. Pea ko e anga eni ʻo ʻenau hā mai. Naʻa nau mata tatau mo e tangata.
6 kodwa ngasinye sazo sasilobuso obune lempiko ezine.
Pea naʻa nau taki taha ʻae mata ʻe fā, pea nau taki taha ʻae kapakau ʻe fā.
7 Imilenze yazo yayiqondile; inyawo zazo zinjengezethole njalo zinkanyazela njengethusi elilolongiweyo.
Pea ko honau vaʻe ko e vaʻe totonu: pea tatau ʻa honau ʻaofivaʻe mo e ʻaofivaʻe ʻoe ʻuhikiʻi pulu: pea naʻe ulo ʻo hangē ko e ulo ʻoe palasa kuo fakangingila.
8 Ngaphansi kwempiko zazo emaceleni azo amane zazilezandla zomuntu. Zonke zozine zazilobuso lempiko,
Pea naʻa nau nima ʻo hangē ko e tangata ʻi honau lalo kapakau ʻi honau potu ʻe fā; pea naʻe ʻi honau potu ʻe fā ʻae mata mo e kapakau.
9 njalo impiko zazo zazithintana. Esinye lesinye sazo saya phambili; kaziphendukanga ekuhambeni kwazo.
Naʻe feuutaki honau kapakau; pea naʻe ʻikai fetafokiʻaki ʻenau ʻalu; ka naʻe taki taha ʻalu fakahangatonu atu.
10 Ubuso bazo babukhangeleka kanje: Esinye lesinye sazo sasilobuso bomuntu, njalo eceleni langakwesokudla esinye lesinye sasilobuso besilwane, ngakwesenxele silobuso benkabi; njalo ngasinye sasilobuso bengqungqulu.
Pea ko e meʻa ki honau mata, naʻe maʻu ʻe he toko fā ni ʻae mata ʻoe tangata, mo e mata ʻoe laione ki he toʻomataʻu: pea maʻu ʻe he toko fā ni ʻae mata ʻoe pulu ki he toʻohema, pea maʻu foki ʻe he toko fā ni ʻae mata ʻoe ʻikale.
11 Babunjalo ubuso bazo. Impiko zazo zazichayekele phezulu; ngasinye silamaphiko amabili olunye luthinta uphiko lwesinye isidalwa emaceleni womabili, lempiko ezimbili zigubuzele umzimba waso.
Naʻe pehē ʻae anga ʻo honau mata: pea naʻe mafola honau kapakau ki ʻolunga; naʻe taki taha hono kapakau ʻe ua naʻe fepikitaki, pea ko e ua naʻe ʻufiʻufi ʻaki honau sino.
12 Esinye lesinye saya phambili. Loba kungaphi lapho umoya owaya khona lazo zaya khona zingaphenduki ekuhambeni kwazo.
Pea naʻe taki taha ʻalu fakahangatonu atu pe: ko ia ne ʻalu ki ai ʻae laumālie, ko ia ia naʻa nau ʻalu ki ai, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau tafoki ʻi heʻenau ʻalu.
13 Isimo sezidalwa eziphilayo sasinjengamalahle avuthayo omlilo loba njengezibane. Umlilo wahamba usiya phambili lasemuva phakathi kwezidalwa; wawukhazimula, njalo umbane uphazima uphuma kuwo.
Pea ko e tatau ʻoe meʻa moʻui ʻe fā, naʻe hangē ko e ulo ʻae fefie ʻi he afi, pea ko e ulo ʻae tuʻunga maama naʻe ʻalu hake ia mo ʻalu hifo ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa moʻui; pea naʻe ulo lahi ʻae afi pea ʻasi mai ʻae ʻuhila mei he afi.
14 Izidalwa zagijima zisiya emuva laphambili njengokuphazima kombane.
Pea naʻe lele mo toe foki mai ʻae ngaahi meʻa moʻui ʻo hangē ko e ulo ʻoe ʻuhila.
15 Kwathi lapho ngizikhangele izidalwa eziphilayo, ngabona ivili phansi eceleni kwesidalwa ngasinye silobuso obune.
Pea ko eni, lolotonga ʻeku sio ki he ngaahi meʻa moʻui, vakai, ko e teka ʻe taha naʻe tuʻu ki he kelekele ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻoe ngaahi meʻa moʻui, pea mo hono mata ʻe fā.
16 Nansi isimo lokwakhiwa kwamavili: Ayecazimula njengekhrisoli, njalo wonke womane ayefanana. Elinye lelinye lalingathi lenziwa lanquma kwelinye ivili.
Pea ko e anga ʻoe ngaahi teka mo hono ngaohi naʻe hangē ko e lanu ʻoe pelili: pea naʻe tatau ʻae meʻa ni ʻe fā: pea naʻe hā mai hono ngaohi naʻe hangē kuo ʻai ʻae teka ʻe taha ʻi he loto teka ʻe taha.
17 Ekuhambeni, ayesiya loba kuliphi lamacele amane lapho izidalwa ezazikhangele khona, njalo amavili ayengaphenduki lapho izidalwa zihamba.
‌ʻI heʻenau ʻalu naʻa nau ʻalu ʻi honau tafaʻaki ʻe fā: pea naʻe ʻikai ke tafoki ʻi heʻenau ʻalu.
18 Amarimu awo ayephakeme njalo esesabeka, njalo womane amarimu ayelamehlo indawo yonke.
Pea ko honau ngaahi meʻa tākai naʻe fakaʻulia ko e meʻa ʻi hono māʻolunga lahi; pea naʻe pito ʻa honau meʻa tākai ʻi he mata ʻo takatakai ʻi he meʻa ni ʻe fā.
19 Lapho izidalwa eziphilayo zihamba, lamavili eceleni kwazo ayehamba, njalo lapho izidalwa eziphilayo ziphakama emhlabathini amavili lawo ayephakama lazo.
‌ʻI heʻene ʻalu ʻae ngaahi meʻa moʻui, naʻe ʻalu ai pe mo e ngaahi teka, pea ka hiki hake ʻae ngaahi meʻa moʻui mei he kelekele, naʻe hiki ai pe mo e ngaahi teka.
20 Loba kungaphi lapho umoya owaya khona lazo zaya khona, njalo lamavili ayephakama lazo, ngoba umoya wezidalwa eziphilayo wawusemavilini.
Ko e potu kotoa pē naʻe ʻalu ki ai ʻae laumālie, naʻa nau ʻalu ai, ko ia ia ʻe ʻalu ki ai honau laumālie; pea naʻe hiki hake ʻo fakahangatonu mai ʻae ngaahi teka kiate kinautolu: he ko e laumālie ʻoe meʻa moʻui naʻe ʻi he ngaahi teka.
21 Kwakusithi izidalwa zingahamba lawo ahambe, kuthi izidalwa zingema lawo ame; njalo kuthi lapho izidalwa ziphakama emhlabathini lawo aphakame lazo, ngoba umoya wezidalwa eziphilayo wawusemavilini.
‌ʻI heʻene ʻalu ʻena, naʻe ʻalu eni; pea ʻi heʻene tuʻumaʻu ʻena, naʻe tuʻu eni; pea ʻi heʻene hiki hake ʻena mei he kelekele, naʻe hiki hake ai ʻae ngaahi teka ʻo fakahangatonu mai kiate kinautolu: he naʻe ʻi he ngaahi teka ʻae laumālie ʻoe meʻa moʻui.
22 Ngaphezu kwamakhanda ezidalwa eziphilayo kwakwendlaleke okwakungathi ngumkhathi, kucazimula njengongqwaqwane, njalo kusesabeka.
Pea naʻe tatau hono fakamalumalu mei ʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi meʻa moʻui, mo e lanu ʻoe kalisitala fakamanavahē, ʻoku mafola atu ki ʻolunga ʻi honau ʻulu.
23 Ngaphansi komkhathi impiko zazo zazelulekile olunye kolunye, njalo esinye lesinye sasilezimpiko ezimbili ezembese umzimba waso.
Pea naʻe mafola totonu hake ʻi lalo ʻi hono fakamalumalu ʻa honau kapakau, pea ne fepikitaki ia: naʻe taki taha honau kapakau ʻe ua naʻe ʻufiʻufi ʻaki honau sino ʻi he tafaʻaki ko eni, pea mo e ua naʻe ʻufiʻufi ʻaki mei hena.
24 Lapho izidalwa zihamba ngezwa umsindo wezimpiko zazo, unjengokuhlokoma kwamanzi ahamba ngesiqubu, njengelizwi likaSomandla, njengokuxokozela kwebutho. Lapho sezimi, zehlisa impiko zazo.
Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu naʻaku fanongo ki he longoaʻa ʻo honau kapakau, naʻe hangē ko e ʻuʻulu ʻoe ngaahi vai lahi, hangē ko e leʻo ʻoe māfimafi, mo e ongo mai ʻae lea, mo e longoaʻa ʻo ha fuʻu tokolahi: pea ʻi heʻenau tuʻu naʻa nau fāū honau kapakau.
25 Emva kwalokho kweza ilizwi elavela ngaphezu komkhathi ngaphezu kwamakhanda azo lapho zazimi impiko zazo zehlisiwe.
Pea ʻi heʻenau tuʻu mo fāū honau kapakau naʻe ongo mai ʻae leʻo mei he langi, ki ʻolunga ʻi honau ʻulu.
26 Ngaphezu komkhathi phezu kwamakhanda azo kwakulokwakungathi yisihlalo sobukhosi esenziwe ngesafire, njalo ngaphezulu esihlalweni sobukhosi kwakulolutho olwalufana lomuntu.
Pea naʻe hā mai ʻae tatau ʻoe nofoʻa fakatuʻi mei ʻolunga ʻi he potu langi naʻe feangai hifo mo honau ʻulu, pea naʻe hangē ia ko e maka ko e safaia, pea hā mai mei he tatau ʻoe nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻae mata ʻo hangē ko e hā mai ʻo ha tangata mei ʻolunga ʻi ai.
27 Lokho ngakubona kokwakungathi lukhalo lwakhe kusiya phezulu ekhanya angathi yinsimbi evuthayo, kungathi kugcwele umlilo, njalo kusukela ekhalweni kusehla wayengathi ngumlilo, njalo ehonqolozelwe yikukhanya okucazimulayo.
Pea naʻaku mamata naʻe lanu tatau ia mo e ʻamipa, pea hangē ko e afi ʻoku takatakai ʻi loto ʻi ai mei he hā mai ʻo hono kongaloto ʻo fai ki ʻolunga, pea mei he hā mai ʻo hono kongaloto ʻo fai ki lalo naʻaku mamata naʻe hangē ko e afi pea naʻe ulo takatakai ʻi ai.
28 Ukukhanya okucazimulayo okwakumzungezile kwakunjengomchilo wamakhosikazi emayezini ngosuku lokuna kwezulu. Lokhu kwakuyisimo sesifanekiso senkazimulo kaThixo. Ngathi ngikubona ngawela phansi ngobuso, ngasengisizwa ilizwi lalowo owayekhuluma.
‌ʻO hangē ko e ʻūmata ʻoku ʻi he ʻao ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe ʻuha, naʻe pehē ʻae ulo takatakai ʻi ai. Ko e hā mai eni ʻae tatau ʻoe nāunau ʻo Sihova. Pea ʻi heʻeku mamata ki ai, naʻaku tōmapeʻe ki hoku mata, pea naʻaku fanongo ki he leʻo ʻo ha taha naʻe lea mai.
