UHezekheli 20

1 Ngomnyaka wesikhombisa, ngenyanga yesihlanu ngosuku lwetshumi, abanye babadala bako-Israyeli bafika bezebuza uThixo, bahlala phansi phambi kwami.

Hagi Babilonima kinama huta mani'nonkeno 7nima hia kafumofo, namba 5fu ikamofona 10ni knazupa Israeli ranra vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofontegati antahintahi erinaku navuga emani'naze.

2 Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:

Ana hazageno Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasmi'ne,

3 “Ndodana yomuntu, khuluma labadala bako-Israyeli uthi kubo, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Lilande ukuzangibuza na? Ngeqiniso elinjengoba ngikhona, kangiyikulivumela ukuthi lingibuze, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.’

Vahe'mofo mofavremoka, Israeli ranra vahetamina amanage hunka zamasamio, Mikozama Kegava Hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a huno, tamagra Nagri nagenoka huta antahintahi erinaku e'nazo? Nagra kasefa hu'na mani'noa Ra Anumzamo'na huankita, tamagra nagenoka huta antahintahia e'origahaze.

4 Uzabahlulela na? Uzabahlulela na, ndodana yomuntu? Ngakho batshele ngezenzo zaboyise ezinengayo

Hagi kagra keaga huzmantenka refko huzmanto, vahe'mofo mofavremoka, keaga huzmantenka zamafahe'mofo hi'mnage avu'ava zama zamavariri zama nehaza zana eri ama' huge'za negenagenka,

5 uthi kubo: ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngosuku engakhetha ngalo u-Israyeli, ngafunga kuyo inzalo yendlu kaJakhobe isandla siphakanyisiwe njalo ngiziveza kuyo iGibhithe. Isandla siphakanyisiwe ngathi kubo, “Mina nginguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.”

amanage hunka zamasamio, Mikozama Kegava Hu'nea Anumzamo'a amanage huno hie, Israeli vahe'ma Nagri vahe manigahaze hu'nama huhampri'noa kna zupa, Isipi mopafi Jekopu mofavreramina huvempa huzmante'na Nagra Ra Anumzanamo'na tamagri Anumza mani'noe hu'na huama hu'noe.

6 Ngalolosuku ngafunga kubo ukuthi ngizabakhupha eGibhithe ngibase elizweni engabadingela lona, ilizwe eligeleza uchago loluju, elihle kakhulu kulamazwe wonke.

Hagi ana knarera Nagra Isipi mopafintira zamavare atirami'na kasefa mopama zamigahuema hu'na huhampri'noa mopafi zamavare'na vugahue. Ana mopafina ami rine tume rimo'enena avitegeno maka mopa agatere'nea mopagino knare'zantfa huno hentofaza hu'nea mopa me'ne.

7 Njalo ngathi kubo, “Lowo lalowo wenu kalahle izifanekiso ezenyanyekayo elibeke amehlo enu kuzo, njalo lingazingcolisi ngezithombe zaseGibhithe. Mina nginguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.”

Hagi nagra amanage hu'na zamasami'noe, hi'mnage zama ante'nazana mago mago'mota eri netreta, Isipi vahe'mofo kaza osu havi anumzana monora hunteta tamagra'a tamazeri pehena osiho hu'noe. Nagra Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumza mani'noe hu'na zamasami'noe.

8 Kodwa bangihlamukela kabaze bangilalela; kabazilahlanga izithombe zabo ezenyanyekayo ababebeke amehlo abo kuzo, loba balahle izithixo zabo zaseGibhithe. Ngakho ngathi ngizathululela ulaka lwami phezu kwabo ngiqede lokuthukuthela kwami ngimelane labo eGibhithe.

Hianagi zamagra ha'renante'za ke'ni'a ontahi'naze. Ana nehu'za ana hi'mnage zama zamavugama ante'nazana zamefira huomi, Isipi vahe'mofo havi anumzantera monora hunte'za vu'naze. Ana nehazageno Nagrira tusi narimpa ahege'na, narimpa ahezmante'na Isipi mopafi zamazeri haviza hugahue hu'noe.

9 Kodwa ngenxa yebizo lami, ngenza okwakuzalivikela ekungcolisweni phambi kwezizwe ababehlala phakathi kwazo engiziveze emehlweni azo kwabako-Israyeli ngokubakhupha eGibhithe.

Hianagi umani'naza kumate vahe'mofo zamavufima huvempama hu'na, Isipiti'ma zamavare'na egahue hu'nama hu'noa zanku nagesa nentahi'na, Nagima eri haviza nehu'za nagazema erinami zanku'ene ana zana osu'noe.

10 Ngakho ngabakhupha eGibhithe ngabasa enkangala.

E'ina hu'negu Isipi mopafintira zamavare'na atirami'na, ka'ma kokampina e'noe.

11 Ngabanika izimiso zami ngabazisa lemithetho yami, ngoba umuntu oyilalelayo uzaphila ngayo.

Nagra tra ke'ni'a nezami'na, kasegeni'a zamasmi'noe. Na'ankure ana kasegeni'ama amage'ma antesimo'a, ofri manigahie.

12 Njalo ngabanika lamaSabatha ami njengesibonakaliso phakathi kwami labo, ukuze bakwazi ukuthi mina Thixo ngabenza baba ngcwele.

Hagi ana nehu'na mani fruhu kna Sabatima zami'noana, Nagri'ene zamagri'ene amu'nompi mago avame'za me'nenige'za, Ra Anumzamo huhampri ranteno tazeri ruotge hu'nea vahe mani'none hu'za ke'za antahi'za hugahaze.

13 Kodwa abantu bako-Israyeli bangihlamukela enkangala. Kabazilandelanga izimiso zami kodwa bayala imithetho yami, njalo batshaphaza amaSabatha ami kakhulu, ngakho umuntu oyilalelayo uzaphila ngayo. Ngokunjalo ngathi ngizathululela ulaka lwami phezu kwabo ngibaqede du enkangala.

Hianagi Israeli vahe'mo'za ka'ma kokampima ne-eza Nagri kea amage nonte'za, kasege'ni'ane tra ke'ni'anena zamefi humi'naze. Zamagrama tra keni'a amage'ma antazaresina knare hu'za manizasine. Sabati manigasa knani'a kegava osu'naze. E'ina hu'nagu ka'ma kokampima neazage'na narimpa ahezmante'na zamazeri haviza hugahue hu'noe.

14 Kodwa ngenxa yebizo lami, ngenza okwakuzalivikela ekungcolisweni phambi kwezizwe engabakhupha zikhangele.

Hianagi negazage'nama Isipiti'ma zamavare'na atirami'nama e'noa vahe'mokizmi zamavufima, e'inahu'ma hanu'na Nagra'a nagima eri haviza huzanku Israeli vahera zamazeri havizana osu'noe.

15 Njalo isandla siphakanyisiwe ngafunga kubo enkangala ukuthi angiyikubafikisa elizweni engangibaphe lona, ilizwe eligeleza uchago loluju, elihle kakhulu kulamazwe wonke,

Hagi ka'ma kokampima neazage'na nazana erisga hu'na amanage hu'na huvempa hu'noe, miko mopama ageterenea mopama amirine tumerimo'enema avite'nea mopama zamigahuema hu'na huvempama hu'noa mopafina zamavare'na ovugosue hu'na huvempa hu'noe.

16 ngoba imithetho yami bayala njalo kabalandelanga izimiso zami, batshaphaza lamaSabatha ami futhi. Ngoba inhliziyo zabo zazinamathele ezithombeni zabo.

Na'ankure zamagra keni'a amagera nonte'za, tra keni'a zamefi hunemi'za, Sabati knani'a kegava nosu'za, vahe'mo'za zamazanteti trohu'naza anumzantaminte monora hunte'naze.

17 Ikanti ngabazwela isihawu kangaze ngababhubhisa kumbe ngibaqede enkangala.

Hianagi zamavufima koana nasuntagige'na zamahe ofri'na, ka'ma kokampina zamazeri havizana osu'noe.

18 Ngatsho ebantwaneni babo enkangala ngathi, “Lingalandeli izimiso zaboyihlo loba ligcine imithetho yabo loba lizingcolise ngezithombe zabo.

E'ina hu'negu mofavre naga'zmia amanage hu'na zamasmi'noe, tamafahe'mokizmi zamavu'zmavara novaririta, zamagrama hu'naza zana huta kaza osu havi anumzantamina monora hunteta tamazeri pehena osiho hu'na zamasami'noe.

19 Mina nginguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu; landelani izimiso zami linanzelele ukugcina imithetho yami.

Hagi Nagra Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumza mani'noanki, keni'a amage nenteta tra keni'a amage anteho.

20 Gcinani amaSabatha engcwele, ukuba abe yisibonakaliso phakathi kwami lani. Lapho-ke lizakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.”

Ana nehuta Sabati knani'aramina kegava hiho. Na'ankure amu'nontifina e'i ana knamo'a mago avame'za me'nena Ra Anumzamo'na tamagri Anumza manisugeta, tamagra Nagri vahe manigahaze.

21 Kodwa abantwana bangihlamukela: Kabazilandelanga izimiso zami, kabananzanga ukugcina imithetho yami lanxa umuntu oyilalelayo ezaphila ngayo njalo batshaphaza amaSabatha ami. Ngakho ngathi ngizathululela ulaka lwami phezu kwabo ngiqedele ukuthukuthela kwami kubo enkangala.

Hianagi ana mofavreramimo'za ke'ni'a nontahi'za, ke'ni'a amagera nonte'za tra keni'a kegava nosu'za, ana kasegema amage'ma antazasina, ofri so'e hu'za manizasine. Hianagi anara osu'naze. Ana nehu'za Sabati knani'a kegava osu'naze. E'ina hazage'na ka'ma kokampina narimpa ahezmante'na zamazeri haviza hunaku hu'noe.

22 Kodwa ngazithiba, njalo ngenxa yebizo lami ngenza okwakuzalivikela ekungcolisweni phambi kwezizwe engabakhupha zikhangele.

Hianagi Nagra e'inara osu'noe. Na'ankure mago'a kumapi vahe'mofo zamavufima Isipiti'ma zamavare'na e'noa zanku nagesa nentahi'na, Nagima eri haviza hu'zanku'ene ana zana osu'noe.

23 Njalo isandla siphakanyisiwe ngafunga kubo enkangala ukuthi ngangizabahlakazela phakathi kwezizwe ngibachithachithele emazweni,

Ana nehu'na Nagra amanage hu'na ka'ma kokampina huvempa hu'na zamasami'noe, Israeli vahera zamahe panini hanuge'za hazagre'za mika mopafi vu'za e'za hu'za mago mago hu'za umani emani hugahaze hu'noe.

24 ngoba babengayilalelanga imithetho yami kodwa bezalile izimiso zami batshaphaza amaSabatha ami, lamehlo abo alangazela izithombe zaboyise.

Na'ankure zamagra kasegeni'a amagera nonte'za, tra keni'a zamefi hunemi'za Sabati knani'a kegava nosu'za, zamazanteti tro hu'naza anumzantaminte'ma zamafahe'mo'zama mono'ma hunte'naza havi anumzante monora hunte'naze.

25 Futhi ngabanikela ezimisweni ezazingalunganga kanye lemithetho ababengeke baphile ngayo;

Ana hazage'na Nagra zamatroge'za zamasimuma eri'za omani tra kene, kasegene amage ante'naze.

26 ngabayekela bangcoliswa yizipho zabo, imihlatshelo yamazibulo wonke ukuze ngibenze besabe khona bezakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.’

Ana nehu'na zamatroge'za musezazmia zamagonesa mofavrezmia zamahe'za Kresramana nevu'za, zamagra'a zamazeri pehena hu'naze. E'inama hu'noana Nagra zamazeri haviza hanuge'za Nagrikura Ra Anumza mani'ne hu'za ke'za antahiza hihogu anara hu'noe.

27 Ngakho-ke, ndodana yomuntu, khuluma labantu bako-Israyeli uthi kubo, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngakho lokhu, labokhokho benu bangithuka ngokungilahla.

E'ina hu'negu vahe'mofo mofavremoka amanage hunka Israeli vahera zamasmio, Miko'zama Kegava Hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Tamafahe'za anahu kna hu'za huhaviza hunante'za zamefi hunami'naze.

28 Kwathi lapho sengibangenisile elizweni engangifunge ngathi ngizabapha lona, bathi bebona loba luphi uqaqa oluphakemeyo, loba siphi isihlahla esilamahlamvu amanengi, khonapho banikelela khona imihlatshelo yabo, banikela iminikelo eyangithukuthelisayo, banikela impepha yabo elephunga elimnandi, bathulula leminikelo yabo yokunathwayo.

Hagi zamigahue hu'nama huvempama huzmante'noa mopafi zamavare'na oge'za, maka za'za agonafine maka anina kuronkuroma hu'nea zafa agafaramimpina ofazmia havi anumzazamirera Kresramana nevu'za nazeri narimpa nehe'za, mnanentake zana kre mna nevu'za, waini tina tagiza ofa hu'naze.

29 Ngasengisithi kubo: Iyini indawo le ephakemeyo eliya kuyo?’” (Ithiwa yiBhama lalamhlanje.)

Ana hazage'na Nagra zamantahige'na amanage hu'noe, Ina'na agonarega monora ome nehaze hu'na zamantahige'noe. Hagi ana kumakura Bamae hu'za menina agia nehaze.

30 “Ngakho tshono endlini ka-Israyeli uthi: ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Lizazingcolisa yini njengabokhokho benu njalo lilangazele izithombe zabo ezenyanyekayo na?

E'ina hu'negu Israeli vahera amanage hunka zamasmio, Miko'zama Kegavama Hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, Tamagri tamafahe'mozama hu'nazaza huta agoterafa havi anumzantera a'nemo ru vene savri hiankna huta monora hunenteta tamagra'a tamazeri pehena hu'naze.

31 Lapho linikela izipho zenu, imihlatshelo yamadodana enu emlilweni, liyaqhubeka lizingcolisa ngazozonke izithombe zenu kuze kube lamhla. Kumele ngivume na ukuba ungibuze, wena ndlu ka-Israyeli? Ngeqiniso elinjengoba ngikhona, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi, kangiyikuvuma ukuba lingibuze.

Hagi havi anumzantega mofavretamia aheta ofa kresramna nevuta, vahe'mo'zama zamazanteti'ma antre'za tro'ma hunte'naza havi anumzantera monora hunenteta tamagra'a tamazeri pehena hume eta ama knarera ehanatize.

32 Lina lithi, “Sifuna ukuba njengezizwe, njengabantu basemhlabeni, abakhonza izigodo lamatshe.” Kodwa lokho elilakho engqondweni akusoze kwenzakale.

38 Ngizabakhupha phakathi kwenu labo abahlamukayo bangivukele. Lanxa ngizabakhupha elizweni abahlala kulo, kodwa kabayikungena elizweni lako-Israyeli. Lapho-ke lizakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.

Ana nehu'na amu'nontmifintira keni'ama nontahi'za, ha'ma renenantaza vahetamina zamahe fanane hugahue. Hagi anama umani'naza mopafintira zamavare'na atiramigahuanagi, Israeli mopafina eofregahaze. E'ina hanugeta Nagrikura Ra Anumza mani'ne huta keta antahita hugahaze.

39 Kuwe-ke, wena ndlu ka-Israyeli, nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Hambani liyekhonza izithombe zenu, lonke! Kodwa emva kwalokho ngeqiniso lizangilalela lingalingcolisi futhi ibizo lami ngezipho zenu langezithombe.

Hagi Israeli vahe'motagura Miko'zama Kegava Hu'nea Anumzamo'a amanage hie, ke'ni'ama ontahisuta amne zamazanteti'ma antre'za havi anumzama tro hunte'nazana monora hunteho. Hianagi henka tamagra namagera nenteta, havi anumzantera monora hunteta ruotge'ma hu'nea nagia eri havizana osugahaze.

40 Ngoba entabeni yami engcwele, intaba ephakemeyo yako-Israyeli, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi, khonapho phakathi kwelizwe, yonke indlu ka-Israyeli izangikhonza, njalo khonapho ngizabamukela. Khonapho ngizafuna iminikelo yenu lezipho zenu zekhethelo ndawonye lemihlatshelo yenu yonke engcwele.

Na'ankure Nagri ruotge agonama, Israeli mopafima za'za agonama me'nere maka Israeli naga'mo'za atru hu'za monora hunantegahaze huno Miko'zama Kegava Hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne. Hagi e'i anante tamantahi kenugeta ofaramine, knare'nare muse zantamina erita enesage'na, antahi muse huramantegahue.

41 Ngizalamukela njengempepha elephunga elimnandi lapho sengilikhupha ezizweni njalo sengiliqoqa emazweni elalihlakazelwe kuwo, njalo ngizazibonakalisa ngingongcwele phakathi kwenu phambi kwezizwe.

45 Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:

Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne,

46 “Ndodana yomuntu, khangela ngaseningizimu; tshumayela okubi ngeningizimu uphrofithe okubi ngelizwe laseningizimu.

47 Tshono ehlathini laseningizimu uthi: ‘Zwana ilizwi likaThixo.
