UHezekheli 12
1 Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ,
2 “Ndodana yomuntu, uhlala phakathi kwabantu abahlamukayo. Balamehlo ukuba babone kodwa kababoni, njalo balendlebe ukuba bezwe kodwa kabezwa, ngoba bangabantu abahlamukayo.
“Onipa ba, wote nnipa a wɔte atua mu. Wɔwɔ ani nanso wɔnnhunu adeɛ. Wɔwɔ aso nanso wɔnte asɛm, ɛfiri sɛ wɔyɛ nnipa atuatefoɔ.
3 Ngakho-ke ndodana yomuntu, lungisa impahla zakho zasekuthunjweni njalo kuthi emini, bekhangele, uphume usuke lapho okhona uye kwenye indawo. Mhlawumbe bazazwisisa, lanxa beyindlu ehlamukayo.
“Enti, onipa ba, boaboa wo nneɛma ano ma asutwa, na adekyeɛ mu a wɔrehwɛ no, firi deɛ wowɔ, na kɔ beaeɛ foforɔ. Ɛwom sɛ wɔyɛ atuatefoɔ deɛ, nanso ebia wɔbɛte aseɛ.
4 Ngezikhathi zemini, bekhangele, khuphela impahla zakho phandle zilungiselwe ukuya ekuthunjweni. Kuthi kusihlwa, bekhangele, uphume njengabaya ekuthunjweni.
Adekyeɛ mu a wɔrehwɛ no, fa wo nneɛma a woaboa ano ama asutwa no pue. Afei anwummerɛ a wɔrehwɛ no, firi adi sɛdeɛ wɔn atukɔfoɔ yɛ no.
5 Bekhangele, bhoboza umduli ukhuphele impahla zakho ngaphandle kwawo.
Ɛberɛ a wɔrehwɛ no, tu ɔfasuo no mu tokuro na yi wo nneɛma no fa mu.
6 Zetshathe ehlombe bekhangele uhambe lazo kusihlwa. Mboza ubuso bakho ukuze ilizwe ungaliboni, ngoba sengikwenze waba luphawu endlini ka-Israyeli.”
Fa to wo mmatire so, ɛberɛ a wɔrehwɛ, na afei adeɛ resa a, soa kɔ. Kata wʼanim sɛdeɛ wonhunu asase no, ɛfiri sɛ mayɛ wo nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ ama Israel efie.”
7 Ngakho ngenza njengokulaywa kwami. Ngezikhathi zemini ngakhupha impahla zami zilungiselwe ukuya ekuthunjweni. Kusihlwa ngabhoboza umduli ngezandla zami. Impahla zami ngazikhuphela ngaphandle kuhwalala, ngizetshethe emahlombe ami bekhangele.
Enti meyɛɛ sɛdeɛ wɔhyɛɛ me no. Adekyeɛ mu no, mede me nneɛma a maboa ano ama asutwa no pueeɛ. Anwummerɛ no, mede me nsa tuu tokuro wɔ ɔfasuo no mu, na adeɛ resa no, meyii me nneɛma no soaa no me mmatire so a wɔrehwɛ.
8 Ekuseni ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
Adekyeɛ no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ,
9 “Ndodana yomuntu, indlu leyana ehlamukayo yako-Israyeli kayikubuzanga na yathi, ‘Wenzani na?’
“Onipa ba, saa Israel efie atuatefoɔ no ammisa wo sɛ, ‘Ɛdeɛn na woreyɛ yi?’
10 Wothi kubo, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Izilo leli limayelana lenkosana eJerusalema kanye lendlu yonke ka-Israyeli ekhonale.’
“Ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, sei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Saa nkɔmhyɛ yi fa ɔhene babarima a ɔwɔ Yerusalem ne Israel efie a wɔwɔ hɔ nyinaa ho.
11 Wothi kubo, ‘Ngiluphawu lwesitshengiselo kini.’ Njengoba ngenzile, kuzakwenziwa kanjalo kubo. Bazakuya ekuthunjweni beyizigqili.”
Ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Meyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnnedeɛ ma mo.’ “Sɛdeɛ mayɛ no, saa ara na wɔbɛyɛ wɔn. Wɔbɛtwa wɔn asuo akɔ nnommumfa mu.
12 Oyinkosana phakathi kwabo uzakwetshatha impahla zakhe kuhwalala asuke, njalo imbobo izakwenziwa emdulini ukuba aphume ngayo. Uzamboza ubuso bakhe ukuze ilizwe angaliboni.
“Ɔhene ba a ɔwɔ wɔn mu no de nʼadesoa bɛto ne batiri so ɛberɛ a adeɛ resa, na wafiri hɔ, na wɔbɛtu tokuro wɔ ɔfasuo no mu ama wafa mu. Ɔbɛkata nʼanim sɛdeɛ ɔrenhunu faako a ɔrekorɔ.
13 Ngizamendlalela imbule lami, njalo uzabanjwa yisifu sami; ngizamusa eBhabhiloniya ilizwe lamaKhaladiya, kodwa kasoze alibone, njalo uzafela khona.
Mɛto mʼatena agu no so na makyere no wɔ mʼafidie mu; mede no bɛkɔ Babilonia Kaldeafoɔ asase so, nanso ɔrenhunu, na ɛhɔ na ɔbɛwu.
14 Ngizabahlakazela emimoyeni bonke labo abamhanqileyo, izisebenzi zakhe kanye lamabutho akhe wonke njalo ngizaxotshana labo ngiphethe inkemba.
Mɛhwete wɔn a atwa ne ho ahyia nyinaa akɔ mmaa nyinaa; nʼadwumayɛfoɔ ne nʼasraafoɔ nyinaa, na mede akofena ataa wɔn.
15 “Bazakwazi ukuthi nginguThixo lapho sengibachithachithela phakathi kwezizwe njalo ngibahlakazela emazweni.
“Ɛberɛ a mabɔ wɔn apete amanaman so, na mahwete wɔn agu nsase so no, wɔbɛhunu sɛ me ne Awurade no.
16 Kodwa ngizaphephisa abalutshwana babo ekuhlaselweni yinkemba, indlala kanye lesifo, ukuze kuthi ezizweni abaya kuzo bazivume zonke izenzo zabo ezinengayo. Lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi nginguThixo.”
Nanso mɛma wɔn mu kakra anya wɔn tiri adidi mu wɔ ɔkɔm, ɔyaredɔm ne akofena ano, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔn ani bɛba wɔn akyiwadeɛ ahodoɔ no so wɔ aman a wɔbɛkɔ so no mu. Afei wɔbɛhunu sɛ me ne Awurade no.”
17 Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ,
18 “Ndodana yomuntu, qhaqhazela nxa unatha amanzi akho.
“Onipa ba, sɛ woredidi a, ma wo ho nwoso, na fa ehu nom wo nsuo.
19 Yitsho ebantwini belizwe uthi: ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi mayelana lalabo abahlala eJerusalema kanye laselizweni lako-Israyeli: Bazakudla ukudla kwabo benqineka njalo banathe lamanzi abo bengelathemba, ngoba ilizwe lizaphundlwa konke okukulo ngenxa yodlakela lwabo bonke abahlala khona.
Ka kyerɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so sɛ, ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade ka fa wɔn a wɔte Yerusalem ne Israel asase so ho: Wɔde ahopereɛ bɛdidi na wɔde abasamutuo anom nsuo, ɛfiri sɛ wɔbɛsɛe asase no so nneɛma nyinaa, ɛsiane wɔn a wɔtete soɔ no akakabensɛm enti.
20 Amadolobho okuhlalwa kuwo azaqothulwa ilizwe lichitheke. Lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi nginguThixo.’”
Wɔbɛsɛe nkuro a nnipa tete soɔ no nyinaa na asase no bɛda mpan. Afei wobɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.’”
21 Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ,
22 “Ndodana yomuntu, yisaga bani lesi na elilaso elizweni lako-Israyeli esithi: ‘Insuku ziyedlula njalo imibono yonke iba yize’?
“Onipa ba, abɛbuo a mowɔ wɔ Israel sɛ, ‘Nna no retwam nanso Israel anisoadehunu biara mma mu’ yi, aseɛ ne sɛn?
23 Wothi kubo, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngizasiqeda isaga lesi, njalo kabayikusitsho futhi ko-Israyeli.’ Wothi kubo, ‘Insuku sezisondele lapho imibono yonke izagcwaliseka khona.
Ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Merebɛma abɛbuo yi aso ha ara, na wɔrenka wɔ Israel bio.’ Ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Nna a anisoadehunu biara bɛba mu no abɛn.
24 Ngoba akusayikuba lemibono yamanga futhi kumbe ubungoma benkohliso ko-Israyeli.
Na atorɔ anisoadehunu ne nnaadaa abisa wɔ Israelfoɔ mu no to bɛtwa.
25 Kodwa mina Thixo ngizakhuluma engikufunayo, njalo kuzagcwaliseka ngokuphangisa. Ngoba ensukwini zakho, wena ndlu ehlamukayo ngizagcwalisa loba kuyini engikutshoyo, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.’”
Nanso me Awurade, mɛka deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ meka, na ɛrenkyɛre, ɛbɛba mu. Na mo atuatefoɔ efie, mo berɛ so, mɛma deɛ maka biara aba mu. Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ.’”
26 Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ,
27 “Ndodana yomuntu, indlu ka-Israyeli ithi, ‘Umbono awubonayo ngoweminyaka eminengi kusukela khathesi, njalo uphrofetha ngesikhathi esizayo esikhatshana kakhulu.’
“Onipa ba, Israel efie reka sɛ, ‘Anisoadeɛ a ɔhunu no bɛba mu mfeɛ bebree akyi, na nneɛma a ɛwɔ daakye akyirikyiri ho nkɔm na ɔhyɛ.’
28 Ngakho wothi kubo, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Akukho lalinye ilizwi lamazwi ami elizaphuza; loba kuyini engikutshoyo kuzagcwaliseka, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.’”
“Ɛno enti ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Yei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Merentwe me nsɛm nkɔ nkyiri bio. Deɛ meka biara bɛba mu, Otumfoɔ Awurade na ɔseɛ.’”
