UHezekheli 3
1 Wasesithi kimi, “Ndodana yomuntu, dlana okuphambi kwakho, dlana umqulu lo; ube ususiyakhuluma kuyo indlu ka-Israyeli.”
Naʻa ne toe pehē mai kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, kai ʻaia ʻoku ke maʻu; kai ʻae takainga tohi ni, pea ʻalu ʻo lea ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli.”
2 Ngakho ngavula umlomo wami, wasengipha umqulu ukuba ngiwudle.
Ko ia naʻaku fakamanga hoku ngutu, pea naʻa ne pule ke u kai ʻae takainga tohi na.
3 Wasesithi kimi, “Ndodana yomuntu, dlana umqulu lo engikunika wona ugcwalise isisu sakho ngawo.” Ngakho ngawudla, njalo emlonyeni wami wawuzwakala umnandi njengoluju.
Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, kai ki loto, pea fakafonu ho loto fatu ʻaki ʻae takainga tohi ni kuo u foaki kiate koe. Ko ia naʻaku toki kai ia; pea naʻe melie ia ʻi hoku ngutu ʻo hangē ko e hone.
4 Wasesithi kimi, “Ndodana yomuntu, hamba khathesi nje endlini ka-Israyeli ukhulume amazwi ami kubo.
Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻalu pea ke hoko atu ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli, pea lea ʻaki kiate kinautolu ʻa ʻeku ngaahi lea.
5 Kawuthunywa ebantwini abalolimi olungaziwayo lolunzima, kodwa endlini ka-Israyeli,
He ʻoku ʻikai fekau koe ki ha kakai ʻoku leʻo kehe mo lea ʻilongataʻa, ka ko e fale ʻo ʻIsileli.
6 hatshi ebantwini abanengi abolimi olungaziwayo lolunzima, ongeke uzwe abakutshoyo. Ngeqiniso aluba kade ngikuthume kubo kade bezakulalela.
ʻO ʻikai ki ha kakai tokolahi ʻoku lea kehe mo lea ʻilongataʻa, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻilo ki heʻenau lea. Ko e moʻoni ka ne u fekau koe kiate kinautolu, pehē kuo nau fanongo kiate koe.
7 Kodwa indlu ka-Israyeli kayifuni ukukulalela ngoba kabafuni kungilalela, ngoba yonke indlu ka-Israyeli ilukhuni njalo ilenkani.
Ka ʻoku ʻikai fie fanongo ʻe he fale ʻo ʻIsileli kiate koe: he naʻa mo au ʻoku ʻikai te nau fanongo: he kuo fielahi mo loto fefeka ʻae fale kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli.
8 Kodwa lawe ngizakwenza ube lenkani lobulukhuni njengabo.
Vakai, kuo u fakamālohi ho mata ʻoʻou ki honau mata, pea mālohi mo ho foʻi laʻē ki honau foʻi laʻē.
9 Ngizakwenza ubuso bakho bube njengelitshe elilukhuni kulawo wonke, elilukhuni kulelitshe lomlilo. Ungabesabi kumbe bakuthuthumelise, lanxa beyindlu ehlamukayo.”
Hangē ko e taiamoni ʻoku fefeka lahi ʻi he maka afi, kuo u ngaohi ke pehē ho foʻi laʻē: ʻoua ʻe manavahē kiate kinautolu, pea ʻoua ʻe manavahē ki heʻenau sio, ka ko e fale angatuʻu moʻoni ʻakinautolu.”
10 Njalo wathi kimi, “Ndodana yomuntu, lalela kakuhle njalo uwabeke enhliziyweni wonke amazwi engiwatsho kuwe.
Pea naʻa ne pehē mai foki kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, ke ke maʻu ki ho loto ʻa ʻeku ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻoku ou lea ʻaki kiate koe, pea fanongo mai ho telinga.
11 Hamba khathesi nje ebantwini belizwe lakini abasekuthunjweni ukhulume labo. Uthi kubo, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi,’ loba bezalalela kumbe bangalaleli.”
Pea ke ʻalu, ʻalu koe kiate kinautolu ʻoku pōpula, ki he fānau ʻa hoʻo kakai, pea ke lea kiate kinautolu, pea tala ki ai, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; pe te nau fanongo, pe te nau taʻekātakiʻi.”
12 Lapho-ke uMoya wangiphakamisa, kwathi ngemva kwami ngezwa umdumo ondindizelayo sengathi yinkazimulo kaThixo eyaphakama endaweni eyayime kuyo!
Hili ia naʻe ʻave au ʻe he laumālie pea naʻaku fanongo ki he leʻo mei hoku tuʻa ʻo hangē ko e ʻuʻulu lahi, naʻe pehē, “Ke monūʻia ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova ʻi hono ʻafioʻanga.”
13 Umdumo wezimpiko zezidalwa eziphilayo zigudlana lomdumo wamavili eceleni kwazo, umdumo wokundindizela okukhulu.
Pea [naʻaku fanongo ]foki ki he kapatā ʻae kapakau ʻoe ngaahi meʻa moʻui, ʻaia naʻe feuutaki, mo e longoaʻa ʻoe ngaahi teka naʻe fehangai mo kinautolu, mo e ʻuʻulu ʻoe mumuhu lahi.
14 UMoya wasungiphakamisela phezulu ungisusa, njalo ngahamba ngomoya otshisekayo lokuthukuthela komoya wami lesandla esilamandla sikaThixo siphezu kwami.
Ko ia ne hiki au ʻe he laumālie ʻo ne ʻave au, pea naʻaku ʻalu ʻi he mamahi mo e lili ʻa hoku laumālie, ka naʻe mālohi ʻiate au ʻae nima ʻo Sihova.
15 Ngafika kwababethunjiwe ababehlala eTheli Abhibhi phansi koMfula uKhebhari. Khonapho-ke, lapho ababehlala khona, ngahlala labo insuku eziyisikhombisa ngiphelelwe ngamandla.
Ko ia naʻaku haʻu ai kiate kinautolu ʻoku pōpula ʻi Telapipi naʻe nofo ki he vaitafe ko Kipa, pea naʻaku nofo ʻi honau nofoʻanga ʻo tatali ofi ai ʻiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu.
16 Ekupheleni kwensuku eziyisikhombisa ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi,
Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki he fakaʻosi ʻoe ʻaho ʻe fitu, naʻe hoko mai kiate au ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,
17 “Ndodana yomuntu, sengikwenze umlindi wendlu ka-Israyeli; ngakho zwana ilizwi engilikhulumayo ubanike isixwayiso esivela kimi.
“Foha ʻoe tangata, kuo u tuku koe ko e leʻo ki he fale ʻo ʻIsileli: ko ia ke ke fanongo ki he lea mei hoku ngutu, pea valokiʻi ʻakinautolu meiate au.
18 Nxa ngisithi emuntwini omubi, ‘Wena uzakufa impela,’ wena ungamxwayisi kumbe ukhulume ukuba umyekelise izindlela zakhe ezimbi ukuze asindise ukuphila kwakhe, lowomuntu omubi uzafela izono zakhe, kuthi wena ngikubeke icala legazi lakhe.
ʻO kau ka pehē ki he angahala, ‘Ko e moʻoni te ke mate;’ ka ʻoku ʻikai te ke valoki, pe lea ke fakatafoki ʻae angahala mei hono hala kovi, kae hao ai ʻene moʻui; ʻe mate moʻoni ʻi heʻene angahala ʻae angahala ko ia; ka ko hono toto te u ʻeke ia kiate koe.
19 Kodwa nxa umuntu omubi umxwayisa yena angaphenduki ebubini bakhe kumbe ezindleleni zakhe ezimbi, uzafela izono zakhe, kodwa wena uyabe uziphephisile.
Ka ko eni, kapau te ke valoki ʻae angahala, pea ʻoku ʻikai tafoki ia mei heʻene kovi, mo hono hala kovi, ʻe mate ia ʻi heʻene angahala, ka kuo ke fakaʻataʻatā ho laumālie ʻoʻou.
20 Njalo nxa umuntu olungileyo eguquka ekulungeni kwakhe enze okubi, mina ngibeke isikhubekiso phambi kwakhe, uzakufa. Njengoba nxa wena ungamxwayisanga, uzafela izono zakhe. Izinto ezilungileyo azenzayo kaziyikukhunjulwa, njalo wena ngizakubeka icala legazi lakhe.
Mo eni, ʻOka liliu ha tangata māʻoniʻoni mei heʻene māʻoniʻoni pea fai angahala, pea u ʻai ha tūkiaʻanga ʻi hono ʻao, ʻe mate ia: ʻe mate ia ʻi heʻene angahala pea ʻe ʻikai manatuʻi ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻaia naʻa ne fai, ka ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo taʻevaloki kiate ia, te u ʻeke mei ho nima ʻa hono toto:
21 Kodwa nxa uxwayisa umuntu olungileyo ukuba angoni lakanye uyabe uziphephisile.”
Ka koeʻuhi, kapau te ke valoki ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ke ʻoua naʻa fai hala ʻae māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻoku ʻikai ai te ne fai angahala, ko e moʻoni te ne moʻui, koeʻuhi kuo takitalaʻi; pea kuo ke fakaʻataʻatā foki ho laumālie.”
22 Isandla sikaThixo sasiphezu kwami lapho, njalo wathi kimi, “Sukuma uye egcekeni ngizakhuluma lawe khona.”
Pea naʻe ʻai kiate au ʻae nima ʻo Sihova ʻi ai; ʻo ne pehē kiate au, “Tuʻu, pea ʻalu atu ki he toafa, pea te u lea ai kiate koe.”
23 Ngakho ngasukuma ngaya egcekeni. Inkazimulo kaThixo yayimi lapho, injengenkazimulo engangiyibone phansi koMfula uKhebhari, ngathi mbo phansi ngobuso.
Ko ia naʻaku tuʻu hake, mo ʻalu atu ki he toafa: pea vakai naʻe tuʻu ʻi ai ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko hono nāunau naʻaku mamata ai ʻi he potu vaitafe ʻo Kipa: pea naʻaku tōmapeʻe ki hoku mata.”
24 Lapho-ke uMoya wangena kimi wangimisa ngezinyawo zami. Wakhuluma wathi kimi, “Hamba uyezivalela endlini yakho.
Pea naʻe toki hū ʻae laumālie kiate au ʻo ne fokotuʻu au ki hoku vaʻe, ʻo ne folofola kiate au, ʻo ne pehē kiate au, “ʻAlu, pea tāpuni koe ʻi ho loto fale.
25 Njalo, wena ndodana yomuntu, bazakubopha ngemichilo; uzabotshwa ukuze ungayi phandle ebantwini.
Ka ko koe, ʻE foha ʻoe tangata, vakai te nau ʻai kiate koe ʻae ngaahi haʻi, ʻonau haʻi ʻaki koe, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke fou atu kituʻa ʻiate kinautolu:
26 Ngizakwenza ulimi lwakho lunamathele elwangeni lomlomo wakho ukuze uthule unganelisi ukubakhuza lanxa beyindlu ehlamukayo.
Pea te u ngaohi ke piki ho ʻelelo ki ho ʻoʻaoʻingutu, pea te ke noa, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke hoko ko e valoki kiate kinautolu he ko e fale angatuʻu ʻakinautolu.
27 Kodwa nxa sengikhuluma lawe ngizavula umlomo wakho, njalo uzakuthi kubo, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi.’ Loba ngubani ozalalela myekele alalele, njalo loba ngubani ozakwala myekele ale; ngoba bayindlu ehlamukayo.”
Ka ʻi heʻeku lea kiate koe, te u faʻai ho ngutu, pea te ke tala kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Ko ia ʻoku fanongo, tuku ke ne fanongo; pea ko ia ʻoku taʻofi, tuku ke ne taʻofi: he ko e fale angatuʻu ʻakinautolu.”
