UHezekheli 14
1 Abanye babadala bako-Israyeli beza kimi bahlala phambi kwami.
Abamu ku bakadde ba Isirayiri ne bajja gye ndi, ne batuula mu maaso gange.
2 Ilizwi likaThixo laselifika kimi lisithi:
Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira ng’agamba nti,
3 “Ndodana yomuntu, abantu laba sebebeke izithombe ezinhliziyweni zabo, bafaka lezikhubekiso ezimbi phambi kobuso babo. Ngibavumele ukungibuza na?
“Omwana w’omuntu, abasajja bano batadde bakatonda abalala ku mitima gyabwe ne bateeka n’ebyesittaza mu maaso gaabwe. Mbakkirize banneebuuzeeko?
4 Ngakho khuluma labo ubatshele uthi, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Lapho loba nguphi umʼIsrayeli ebeka izithombe enhliziyweni yakhe, afake lesikhubekiso esibi phambi kobuso bakhe abesesiyaphrofetha, mina Thixo ngizamphendula mina ngokwami ngokuhambelana lokukhonza kwakhe izithombe okukhulu.
Noolwekyo yogera gye bali obategeeze nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Omuyisirayiri yenna bw’ateeka bakatonda abalala ku mutima gwe, n’ateeka n’ebyesittaza mu maaso ge, n’agenda eri nnabbi, nze kennyini, nze nnaamwanukulanga olwa bakatonda be abalala baayita abakulu.
5 Ngizakwenza lokhu ukuze ngizibambe futhi inhliziyo zabantu bako-Israyeli asebengidelile bonke ngenxa yezithombe zabo.’
Bwe ntyo bwe ndikola okwewangulira emitima gy’ennyumba ya Isirayiri, bonna abaanvaako okugoberera bakatonda abalala.’
6 Ngakho-ke tshono endlini ka-Israyeli uthi: ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Phendukani! Tshiyani izithombe zenu lilahle imikhuba yenu enengayo!
“‘Noolwekyo tegeeza ennyumba ya Isirayiri nti, Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Mwenenye muleke bakatonda bammwe, mulekeyo ebikolwa byammwe eby’ekivve.
7 Lapho owako-Israyeli loba omunye wabezizweni ohlala ko-Israyeli ezehlukanisa lami abeke izithombe enhliziyweni yakhe njalo afake lesikhubekiso esibi phambi kobuso bakhe, abesesiya kumphrofethi ukuyabuza ngami, mina Thixo ngizamphendula mina ngokwami.
“‘Omuyisirayiri yenna oba omugenyi abeera mu Isirayiri bw’ananvangako, n’ateeka bakatonda abalala ku mutima gwe n’ateeka n’ebyesittaza mu maaso ge, ate n’agenda eri nnabbi okunneebuuzaako, nze Mukama nze nnaamwanukulanga.
8 Ngizamelana lalowomuntu ngobuso bami njalo ngimenze isibonelo kanye lesiga. Ngizamsusa ebantwini bami. Lapho-ke lizakwazi ukuthi nginguThixo.
Omuntu oyo nnaamulwanyisanga ne mufuula ekyokulabirako era eky’okunyumyako. Ndimusalako ku bantu be, mulyoke mumanye nga nze Mukama.
9 Njalo nxa umphrofethi ekhohliseke ukuba akhulume isiphrofethi, mina Thixo yimi engikhohlise umphrofethi lowo, njalo ngizakwelula isandla sami ngimelane laye ngimbhubhise phakathi kwabantu bami u-Israyeli.
“‘Nnabbi bw’anaasendebwasendebwanga okuwa obubaka ng’ategeeza nti nze Mukama Katonda nsenzesenze nnabbi oyo, ndigolola omukono gwange ku ye ne muzikiriza okumuggya mu bantu bange Isirayiri.
10 Bazathwala icala labo, umphrofethi uzakuba lecala njengalowo ombuzayo.
Baliba bansingiddwa omusango, era nnabbi aliba asingiddwa omusango gwe gumu n’oyo azze okumwebuuzaako.
11 Lapho-ke abantu bako-Israyeli kabasayikungifulathela kumbe bazingcolise futhi ngazozonke izono zabo. Bazakuba ngabantu bami, mina ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.’”
Olwo ennyumba ya Isirayiri tebaliddayo nate kubula newaakubadde okweyonoona n’ebibi byabwe byonna. Baliba bantu bange, nange ndiba Katonda waabwe, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.’”
12 Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira ng’agamba nti,
13 “Ndodana yomuntu, nxa ilizwe lisona kimi ngokungathembeki besengiselula isandla sami ukuba ngivale ukulethwa kokudla kwalo, ngithumele indlala kulo ibulale abantu bakhona kanye lezifuyo zabo,
“Omwana w’omuntu, ensi bw’ekola ebibi mu maaso gange n’ebeera etali nneesigwa, ne ngolola omukono gwange gy’eri ne nsalako obugabirizi bw’emmere yaabwe, ne mbasindikira ekyeya, ne nzita abantu baamu n’ensolo zaabwe,
14 lanxa amadoda amathathu la, uNowa, loDanyeli kanye loJobe, angabe ayekhona kulo, ayezazihlenga wona kuphela ngokulunga kwawo, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
newaakubadde ng’abasajja bano abasatu Nuuwa, ne Danyeri, ne Yobu bandibadde bagirimu, bandiwonyeza bulamu bwabwe bwokka olw’obutuukirivu bwabwe, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
15 Loba nxa ngingathuma izilo zeganga ukuba zidabule phakathi kwalelolizwe zilitshiye lingaselabantwana njalo libe lugwadule okwenza kungabi lamuntu odlula phakathi kwalo ngenxa yezilo,
“Oba newaakubadde nga nsindika ensolo enkambwe ez’omu nsiko mu nsi eyo, ne zigyonoona ne zigireka nga temuli mwana n’omu, n’efuuka matongo, ne wataba n’omu agiyitamu olw’ensolo ezo,
16 ngeqiniso elinjengoba ngikhona, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi, lanxa amadoda la amathathu engabe ayekhona kulo ayengeke awahlenge amadodana awo kumbe amadodakazi. Wona kuphela yiwo ayengahlengwa, kodwa ilizwe lalizachitheka.
ddala nga bwe ndi omulamu, abasajja abo abasatu tebandiwonyezza batabani baabwe wadde bawala baabwe, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda. Bo bokka be bandiwonye, naye ensi yandifuuse matongo.
17 Loba nxa ngingaletha inkemba imelane lalelolizwe ngithi, ‘Inkemba kayidlule phakathi kwelizwe lonke,’ ngibulale abantu kanye lezifuyo zabo,
“Oba singa ndeeta ekitala ku nsi eyo ne njogera nti, ‘Leka ekitala kiyite mu nsi yonna,’ ne nzita abantu baamu n’ensolo zaabwe,
18 ngeqiniso elinjengoba ngikhona, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi, lanxa amadoda la amathathu kungabe ayekulo, ayengeke awahlenge amadodana awo kumbe amadodakazi. Wona kuphela yiwo ayengahlengwa.
nga bwe ndi omulamu, newaakubadde ng’abasajja bano abasatu bandibadde bagirimu, tebandiwonyezza batabani baabwe wadde bawala baabwe. Bandiwonyeza bulamu bwabwe bwokka olw’obutuukirivu bwabwe, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
19 Loba nxa ngithumela isifo kulelolizwe, ngithululele ulaka lwami phezu kwalo ngokuchithwa kwegazi, sibulale abantu balo kanye lezifuyo zabo,
“Oba singa ndeeta kawumpuli mu nsi eyo, ne mbafukako ekiruyi kyange, ne njiwa omusaayi mu nsi eyo, ne nzita abantu baamu n’ensolo zaabwe,
20 ngeqiniso elinjengoba ngikhona, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi, lanxa uNowa, loDanyeli kanye loJobe bengabe bekulo bebengeke bahlenge indodana kumbe indodakazi. Bebengazihlenga bona kuphela ngokulunga kwabo.
nga bwe ndi omulamu, Nuuwa ne Danyeri ne Yobu ne bwe bandigibaddemu, tebandiwonyezza mutabani waabwe newaakubadde muwala waabwe. Bo bokka be nandiwonyezza olw’obutuukirivu bwabwe, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
21 Ngoba nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Kuzakuba kubi kakhulu okunjani na lapho sengithumela eJerusalema izahlulelo zami ezine, inkemba lendlala lezilo zeganga kanye lesifo ukuba kubulale abantu balo kanye lezifuyo zabo!
“Kubanga bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, Kiriba kitya bwe ndiweereza ebibonerezo byange ebina: ekitala n’ekyeya n’ensolo enkambwe ez’omu nsiko ne kawumpuli, ku Yerusaalemi, okutta abantu baamu n’ensolo zaabwe!
22 Kodwa kuzakuba labanye abasilayo, amadodana lamadodakazi abazakhutshelwa ngaphandle kwalo. Bazakuza kuwe, njalo lapho ubona ukuziphatha kwabo lezenzo zabo, uzaduduzeka ngomonakalo engiwehlisela phezu kweJerusalema, wonke umonakalo engawehlisela phezu kwalo.
Naye ate nga walibaawo abamu abaliwona, abaana aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala abaliggibwamu. Balijja gy’oli, era bw’oliraba enneeyisa yaabwe n’ebikolwa byabwe, olikkiriza akabi ke ndeese ku Yerusaalemi, buli kabi ke mmuleeseeko.
23 Uzaduduzeka lapho usubona ukuziphatha kwabo kanye lezenzo zabo, ngoba uzakwazi ukuthi angenzanga lutho phakathi kwalo kungekho sizatho, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.”
Bw’oliraba enneeyisa yaabwe n’ebikolwa byabwe olikkiriza nga sirina kye nkoze mu Yerusaalemi awatali nsonga, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.”
