UHezekheli 24
1 Ngomnyaka wesificamunwemunye, ngenyanga yetshumi, ngosuku lwetshumi, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
Naʻe toe hoko foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻi hono hiva ʻoe taʻu, ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe māhina, mo hono hongofulu ʻoe ʻaho ʻi he māhina, ʻo pehē,
2 “Ndodana yomuntu, bhala usuku lolu, usuku lolu lona ngokwalo, ngoba iNkosi yaseBhabhiloni isivimbezele iJerusalema ngalo kanye lolusuku.
Foha ʻoe tangata, tohi ʻe koe ʻae hingoa ʻoe ʻaho ko eni: he naʻe teuteu ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone ki Selūsalema ʻi he ʻaho ko eni.
3 Tshela indlu le ehlamukayo umfanekiso uthi kubo: ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Beka imbiza yokupheka eziko; ibeke phezu kwamaseko uthele amanzi phakathi kwayo.
Pea ke lea ʻaki ha fakatātā ki he fale angatuʻu, mo ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Fokotuʻu ʻae kulo, fokotuʻu ia pea lilingi ha vai ki ai:
4 Faka phakathi kwayo amaqatha enyama, wonke amaqatha amahle, umlenze lesiphanga. Igcwalise ngamathambo amahle;
Tānaki ʻae ngaahi konga ki ai, ʻae konga lelei kotoa pē, ʻae alanga mui mo e alanga muʻa; fakafonu ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi hui lelei.
5 thatha okukhethiweyo emhlambini. Basela kakhulu ngenkuni usenzela amathambo; ixhwathise upheke amathambo phakathi kwayo.
Fili mai ʻaia ʻoku lelei hake ʻi he fanga manu, pea ʻai ʻae ngaahi hui ki lalo ʻi ai, pea ʻai ke lelei ʻaupito, pea fakamoho ʻae hui ʻi ai.”
6 Ngoba nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Maye kulo idolobho lokuchithwa kwegazi, kuyo imbiza esithombile, ukuthomba kwayo okungayikuphela! Thulula imbiza ukhuphe amaqhatha ngalinye ngalinye kungekho inkatho.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Malaʻia ki he kolo kuo pani toto, ʻae kulo ko ia, ʻoku kei ʻi ai ʻae ʻuli, kuo teʻeki ke mavahe hono ʻuli mei ai! Toʻo taki taha mai ʻae konga mei ai, pea ʻoua naʻa filifilimānako.
7 Ngakho igazi elachithwa lidolobho leli liphakathi kwalo: lalithululela edwaleni elize; kalilithululelanga phansi lapho umhlabathi owawungaligqibela khona.
He ʻoku ʻi loto ʻiate ia ʻa hono toto kuo ne ʻai ia ki he funga maka; naʻe ʻikai te ne lilingi ia ki he kelekele ke ʻufiʻufi ia ʻaki ʻae efu:
8 Ukuze ngivuse intukuthelo njalo ngiphindisele, ngabeka igazi lelo phezu kwedwala elize, ukuze lingagqitshelwa.
Ka koeʻuhi ke tupu ʻae houhau mo fakahoko hono tautea; kuo u tuku ai hono toto ki he funga maka, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ʻufiʻufi ia.”
9 Ngakho nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Maye kulo idolobho lokuchithwa kwegazi! Lami futhi, ngizakwenza ibonda lenkuni eliphakemeyo.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Malaʻia ki he kolo pani toto! ʻIo, te u fokotuʻu ke lahi ʻae fefie ki he afi.
10 Ngakho faka inkuni uphembe umlilo. Ipheke kuhle inyama, uhlanganisa leziyoliso; uyekele amathambo atshe.
ʻAi pe ʻae fefie, pea tafu ʻae afi, pea tutu ʻae kakano, pea ʻai ke fifisi lahi, pea tuku ke vela ʻae ngaahi hui.
11 Emva kwalokho beka imbiza engelalutho phezu kwamalahle ize itshise lethusi layo livuthe ukuze ukungcola kwayo kutshe kuphele lokuthomba kwayo kutshe kuphele.
Pea toki ʻai maha pe ia ki he afi, koeʻuhi ke vela ai hono palasa, ʻio, ke vela, pea koeʻuhi ke molū hono fakalielia ʻi ai, pea ke ʻosi mei ai ʻae ʻuli ʻoku tētē.
12 Isiphuthise imizamo yonke; uqweqwe lokuthomba kwayo kalususwanga, loba langomlilo.
Kuo ne fakaongosia ia ʻi he ngaahi loi, pea naʻe ʻikai mahuʻi meiate ia ʻa hono ʻuli: ko e [meʻa ]ʻuli ʻi ai ʻe tō ki he afi.
13 Khathesi ukungcola kwakho yisigwebo. Ngoba ngizamile ukukuhlambulula kodwa ubungeke uhlanjululwe ekungcoleni kwakho, kawuyikuhlambuluka futhi ukukuthukuthelela kwami kuze kudede.
ʻOku fakalielia hoʻo [meʻa ]ʻuli: pea koeʻuhi kuo u fakamaʻa koe kae ʻikai te ke maʻa, ʻe ʻikai toe fakamaʻa koe, kaeʻoua ke u ʻai ke hoko ʻa hoku houhau kiate koe.
14 Mina Thixo sengikhulumile. Isikhathi sokuba ngenze sesifikile. Kangiyikuzithiba; kangiyikuba lesihawu, kumbe ngiyekethise. Uzakwahlulelwa mayelana lokuziphatha kwakho kanye lezenzo zakho, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.’”
Ko au ko Sihova kuo u lea ki ai: ʻe hoko pe ia, pea te u fai ia ʻeau; ʻe ʻikai te u fakaholomui, pea ʻe ʻikai te u mamae, pe te u fakatomala; ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, te nau fakamaauʻi koe ʻo fakatatau ki ho hala, pea tatau mo hoʻo ngāue kuo ke fai.”
15 Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
Naʻe hoko foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
16 “Ndodana yomuntu, sekuseduze ukuthi ngokugalela okukodwa nje ngisuse kuwe intokozo yamehlo akho. Kodwa ungalili kumbe ukhale loba wehlise inyembezi.
“Foha ʻoe tangata, vakai, ʻoku ou toʻo atu ʻaia ʻoku holi ki ai ho mata, ʻi he tā pe taha: ka ʻe ʻikai te ke mamahi pe tangi, pea ʻe ʻikai tafe hifo ho loʻimata.
17 Bubula uthule; ungalileli abafileyo. Bophela iqhiye yakho lamanyathela akho ezinyaweni zakho; ungambozi ingxenye yaphansi yobuso bakho loba udle ukudla komkhuba wabalilayo.”
ʻOua naʻa tangi, pea ʻoua naʻa fai ha mamahi, koeʻuhi ko e pekia; ʻai pe ʻae tatā ki ho ʻulu, pea ʻai mo e topuvaʻe ki ho vaʻe, pea ʻoua naʻa puke ngutu, pea ʻoua naʻa kai ʻae mā ʻae kau tangilāulau.”
18 Ngakho ngakhuluma labantu ekuseni, umkami wafa kusihlwa. Ekuseni kwakusisa ngenza njengokulaywa kwami.
Ko ia naʻaku lea ki he kakai ʻi he pongipongi: pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki he efiafi naʻe pekia ʻa hoku uaifi; pea naʻaku fai ʻi he pongipongi ʻe taha ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fekau mai.
19 Abantu basebengibuza besithi, “Kawuyikusitshela na ukuthi izinto lezi zilani lathi?”
Pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe he kakai kiate au, “ʻE ʻikai te ke fakahā mai hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kimautolu, pe ko e hā kuo ke fai pehē ai?”
20 Ngakho mina ngathi kubo, “Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
Pea naʻaku tali ʻaki ʻeni kiate kinautolu, naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
21 Tshono endlini ka-Israyeli uthi, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Sekuseduze ukuthi ngingcolise indlu yami engcwele, inqaba eliziqhenya ngayo, intokozo yamehlo enu, into eliyithanda kakhulu. Amadodana lamadodakazi eliwatshiyileyo azabulawa ngenkemba.
“Lea ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai te u fakalieliaʻi ʻa hoku fale tapu, ʻaia ko homou mālohiʻanga, ʻaia ʻoku holi ki ai ho mata, pea mamae ki ai ho laumālie; pea ko ho ngaahi foha mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine kuo mou tuku ʻe hinga ʻi he heletā.
22 Njalo lizakwenza njengoba ngenzile. Kaliyikumboza ingxenye yaphansi yobuso benu loba lidle ukudla komkhuba wabalilayo.
Pea te mou fai ʻo hangē ko ia kuo u fai: ʻe ʻikai te mou pupuni ngutu, pe te mou kai ʻi he mā ʻae kakai tangilāulau.
23 Lizafaka amaqhiye enu emakhanda enu lamanyathela enu ezinyaweni zenu. Kaliyikulila kumbe likhale kodwa lizacikizeka ngenxa yezono zenu njalo libubule phakathi kwenu.
Pea ʻe tatā pe homou ʻulu, pea ʻai mo e topuvaʻe ki homou vaʻe ʻe ʻikai te mou mamahi pe fai ʻae tangi ka te mou fakaʻauʻausino pe, koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou hia, pea femamahiʻaki pe ʻiate kimoutolu
24 UHezekhiyeli uzakuba yisibonakaliso kini; lizakwenza njengoba enzile. Nxa lokhu kusenzakala, lizakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo Wobukhosi.’
Ko ia ko ʻIsikieli ko e fakaʻilonga ia kiate kimoutolu: te mou fai ʻekimoutolu ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē kuo ne fai ʻe ia: pea ka hoko mai eni, te mou ʻilo ko au ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua.
25 Njalo wena, ndodana yomuntu, ngosuku engizasusa ngalo inqaba yabo, intokozo yabo lodumo, injabulo yamehlo abo, isifiso senhliziyo yabo, kanye lamadodana lamadodakazi abo futhi,
“Ko eni foki, ʻa koe foha ʻoe tangata, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia te u toʻo atu ai meiate kinautolu honau mālohi, mo e fiefia ʻo ʻenau nāunau, ʻae holi ʻa honau mata, mo ia kuo tukupau honau loto ki ai, ʻa honau ngaahi foha mo honau ngaahi ʻofefine, ʻikai ʻe pehē,
26 ngalolosuku isiphepheli yiso esizalandisa izindaba.
Ko ia ʻe hao ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻe haʻu kiate koe ke fakaongo ia ki ho telinga?
27 Ngalesosikhathi umlomo wakho uzavuleka; uzakhuluma laye njalo kawuyikuthula futhi. Ngakho uzakuba yisibonakaliso kubo, njalo bazakwazi ukuthi nginguThixo.”
ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe matoʻo ho ngutu kiate ia kuo hao, pea te ke lea, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke kei noa: pea ko e fakaʻilonga koe kiate kinautolu; pea te nau ʻilo ko Sihova au.”
