1 Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
and to be word LORD to(wards) me to/for to say
2 “Litshoni lina bantu nxa libetha isaga lesi ngelizwe lako-Israyeli lisithi: ‘Oyise badla amavini amunyu, amazinyo abantwana asetshelela’?
what? to/for you you(m. p.) to use a proverb [obj] [the] proverb [the] this upon land: soil Israel to/for to say father to eat unripe grape and tooth [the] son: child (be blunt *LA(bh)*)
3 Ngeqiniso elinjengoba ngikhona, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi, kalisayikusitsho isaga lesi ko-Israyeli.
alive I utterance Lord YHWH/God if: surely no to be to/for you still to use a proverb [the] proverb [the] this in/on/with Israel
4 Ngoba yonke imphefumulo ephilayo ngeyami, uyise kanye lendodana, bobabili ngokufanayo ngabami. Umphefumulo owonayo yiwo ozakufa.
look! all [the] soul to/for me they(fem.) like/as soul [the] father and like/as soul [the] son: child to/for me they(fem.) [the] soul [the] to sin he/she/it to die
5 Kasithi kulomuntu olungileyo owenza okufaneleyo lokuqondileyo.
and man: anyone for to be righteous and to make: do justice and righteousness
6 Kadleli ezindaweni zokukhonzela zasentabeni loba athembe izithombe zendlu ka-Israyeli. Kangcolisi umfazi kamakhelwane wakhe loba alale lowesifazane esemazibukweni.
to(wards) [the] mountain: mount not to eat and eye his not to lift: look to(wards) idol house: household Israel and [obj] woman: wife neighbor his not to defile and to(wards) woman impurity not to present: come
7 Kancindezeli muntu kodwa uyabuyisela akuthathayo njengesibambiso sokwebolekwayo. Kabenzi ubuphangi kodwa unika abalambileyo ukudla kwakhe labanqunu abanike izigqoko.
and man: anyone not to oppress pledge his debtor to return: rescue violence not to plunder food: bread his to/for hungry to give: give and naked to cover garment
8 Kabolekisi ukuba athole inzuzo loba athathe inzuzo edlulisileyo. Uyasithinta isandla sakhe ekwenzeni okubi njalo ehlulele kuhle phakathi komuntu lomuntu.
in/on/with interest not to give: give and increment not to take: take from injustice to return: turn back hand his justice truth: true to make: do between man to/for man
9 Uyazilandela izimiso zami agcine lemithetho yami ngokuthembeka. Lowomuntu ulungile; ngempela uzaphila, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
in/on/with statute my to go: walk and justice: judgement my to keep: obey to/for to make: do truth: faithful righteous he/she/it to live to live utterance Lord YHWH/God
10 Kasithi ulendodana elodlakela echitha igazi kumbe yenze loba yikuphi kwalezizinto
and to beget son: child violent to pour: kill blood and to make: do ah! from one from these
11 (lanxa uyise engenzanga lanye yazo): Idlela ezindaweni zokukhonzela ezisentabeni. Iyamngcolisa umfazi kamakhelwane wayo.
and he/she/it [obj] all these not to make: do for also to(wards) [the] mountain: mount to eat and [obj] woman: wife neighbor his to defile
12 Incindezela abayanga labaswelayo. Yenza ubuphangi. Kayibuyiseli eyakuthatha kuyisibambiso. Yethemba izithombe. Yenza izinto ezinengisayo.
afflicted and needy to oppress violence to plunder pledge not to return: rescue and to(wards) [the] idol to lift: look eye his abomination to make
13 Yebolekisa ukuba ithole inzuzo njalo ithatha inzuzo edlulisileyo. Umuntu onjalo uzaphila na? Kasoze aphile! Ngenxa yokuba enze zonke lezizinto ezinengisayo uzabulawa mpela legazi lakhe lizakuba phezu kwekhanda lakhe.
in/on/with interest to give: give and increment to take: take and to live not to live [obj] all [the] abomination [the] these to make: do to die to die blood his in/on/with him to be
14 Kodwa kasithi indodana le ilendodana ezibonayo zonke izono ezenziwa nguyise, kodwa lanxa izibona, yona kayizenzi izinto ezinje:
and behold to beget son: child and to see: see [obj] all sin father his which to make: do and to see: see and not to make: do like/as them
15 Kayidleli ezindaweni zokukhonzela ezisentabeni, kumbe yethembe izithombe zendlu ka-Israyeli. Kayimngcolisi umfazi kamakhelwane wayo.
upon [the] mountain: mount not to eat and eye his not to lift: look to(wards) idol house: household Israel [obj] woman: wife neighbor his not to defile
16 Kayincindezeli muntu kumbe ifune isibambiso ekwebolekiseni. Kayibenzi ubuphangi kodwa abalambileyo iyabapha ukudla kwayo inike labanqunu izigqoko.
and man: anyone not to oppress pledge not to pledge and violence not to plunder food: bread his to/for hungry to give: give and naked to cover garment
17 Iyasithinta isandla sayo ekoneni njalo kayithathi nzuzo loba inzuzo edlulisileyo. Iyagcina imilayo yami ilandele lezimiso zami. Kayiyikufela izono zikayise; izaphila impela.
from afflicted to return: turn back hand his interest and increment not to take: take justice: judgement my to make: do in/on/with statute my to go: walk he/she/it not to die in/on/with iniquity: crime father his to live to live
18 Kodwa uyise uzafela izono zakhe yena ngokwakhe, ngoba wabamba ngamandla, waphanga umfowabo wenza okubi ebantwini bakibo.
father his for to oppress oppression to plunder robbery brother: male-sibling and which not pleasant to make: do in/on/with midst kinsman his and behold to die in/on/with iniquity: crime his
19 Ikanti liyabuza lithi, ‘Kungani indodana ingabi lecala likayise na?’ Njengoba indodana yenze okufaneleyo lokuqondileyo njalo inaka ukugcina izimiso zami, izaphila impela.
and to say why? not to lift: guilt [the] son: child in/on/with iniquity: crime [the] father and [the] son: child justice and righteousness to make: do [obj] all statute my to keep: careful and to make: do [obj] them to live to live
20 Umphefumulo owonayo yiwo ozakufa. Indodana kayiyikuba lecala likayise, loba uyise abe lecala lendodana. Ukulunga komuntu olungileyo kuzabalelwa kuye, lobubi bomubi buzamelana laye.
[the] soul [the] to sin he/she/it to die son: child not to lift: guilt in/on/with iniquity: crime [the] father and father not to lift: guilt in/on/with iniquity: crime [the] son: child righteousness [the] righteous upon him to be and wickedness ([the] wicked *Q(K)*) upon him to be
21 Kodwa nxa umuntu omubi ephenduka kuzozonke izono azenzayo njalo agcine izimiso zami zonke enze okufaneleyo lokuqondileyo, uzaphila impela, akayikufa.
and [the] wicked for to return: repent from all (sin his *Q(K)*) which to make and to keep: obey [obj] all (statute my *LAB(h)*) and to make: do justice and righteousness to live to live not to die
22 Akukho kona kwakhe okuzakhunjulwa. Ngenxa yezinto ezilungileyo azenzileyo uzaphila.
all transgression his which to make not to remember to/for him in/on/with righteousness his which to make: do to live
23 Ngiyathokoza ngokufa komuntu omubi na? kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi. Esikhundleni salokho, kangithabi na nxa bephenduka ezindleleni zabo njalo baphile?
to delight in to delight in death wicked utterance Lord YHWH/God not in/on/with to return: repent he from way: conduct his and to live
24 Kodwa nxa umuntu olungileyo eguquka ekulungeni kwakhe enze izono njalo enze zona kanye izinto ezinengayo ezenziwa ngumuntu omubi, kambe uzaphila na? Akukho okwezinto ezilungileyo azenzayo okuzakhunjulwa. Ngenxa yecala lokungathembeki langenxa yezono azenzayo, uzakufa.
and in/on/with to return: repent righteous from righteousness his and to make: do injustice like/as all [the] abomination which to make: do [the] wicked to make: do and to live all (righteousness his *Q(K)*) which to make: do not to remember in/on/with unfaithfulness his which be unfaithful and in/on/with sin his which to sin in/on/with them to die
25 Kodwa lina lithi, ‘Indlela kaThixo kayilunganga.’ Zwana, wena ndlu ka-Israyeli: Indlela yami kayifanelanga na?
and to say not to measure way: conduct Lord to hear: hear please house: household Israel way: conduct my not to measure not way: conduct your not to measure
26 Nxa umuntu olungileyo eguquka ekulungeni kwakhe enze izono, uzakufela lokho; ngenxa yezono azenzileyo uzakufa.
in/on/with to return: repent righteous from righteousness his and to make: do injustice and to die upon them in/on/with injustice his which to make: do to die
27 Kodwa nxa umuntu omubi ephenduka ebubini abenzileyo enze okufaneleyo lokuqondileyo, uzasilisa ukuphila kwakhe.
and in/on/with to return: repent wicked from wickedness his which to make and to make: do justice and righteousness he/she/it [obj] soul: life his to live
28 Ngoba ucabanga konke okubi akwenzayo aphenduke kukho, uzaphila impela; akayikufa.
and to see: examine (and to return: repent *Q(k)*) from all transgression his which to make to live to live not to die
29 Ikanti indlu ka-Israyeli ithi, ‘Indlela kaThixo kayilunganga.’ Izindlela zami kazilunganga na, wena ndlu ka-Israyeli?
and to say house: household Israel not to measure way: conduct Lord way: conduct my not to measure house: household Israel not way: conduct your not to measure
30 Ngakho-ke wena ndlu ka-Israyeli, lowo lalowo ngizamahlulela ngokumayelana lezindlela zakhe, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi. Phendukani! Tshiyani ububi benu bonke; ngalokho isono kasiyikuba yikufa kwenu.
to/for so man: anyone like/as way: conduct his to judge [obj] you house: household Israel utterance Lord YHWH/God to return: return and to return: repent from all transgression your and not to be to/for you to/for stumbling iniquity: crime
31 Zikhululeni kukho konke okubi elikwenzileyo, lizuze inhliziyo entsha lomoya omutsha. Kungani na uzakufa, wena ndlu ka-Israyeli?
to throw from upon you [obj] all transgression your which to transgress in/on/with them and to make to/for you heart new and spirit new and to/for what? to die house: household Israel
32 Ngoba angithokozi ngokufa loba ngokukabani, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi. Phendukani liphile!”
for not to delight in in/on/with death [the] to die utterance Lord YHWH/God and to return: repent and to live
