UHezekheli 34
1 Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,
2 “Ndodana yomuntu, phrofetha okubi ngabelusi bako-Israyeli; phrofetha uthi kubo: ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Maye kini lina belusi bako-Israyeli elizikhathalelayo lina ngokwenu kuphela! Abelusi akumelanga bakhathalele umhlambi wezimvu na?
“Ame vi, gblɔ nya ɖi ɖe Israel ƒe alẽkplɔlawo ŋu. Gblɔ nya ɖi be nu si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye, ‘Babaa na Israel ƒe alẽkplɔlawo, ame siwo léa be na woawo ŋutɔ ɖokuiwo ko! Ɖe alẽkplɔlawo makpɔ alẽhawo dzi oa?
3 Lidla izankefu, ligqoke uboya njalo lihlabe ezinonileyo, kodwa imihlambi yenu kaliyelusi.
Mienoa woƒe notsi, miedoa awu siwo wotsɔ woƒe alẽfu wɔe, eye miewua lã damitɔwo, ke mieléa be na alẽhawo o.
4 Ezibuthakathaka kaliziqinisanga kumbe lelapha ezigulayo loba labopha ezilimeleyo. Kalinqandanga eziphambukileyo loba ladinga ezilahlekileyo. Lizibuse ngochuku langesihluku.
Miedo ŋusẽ alẽ siwo gbɔdzɔ o, mieda gbe le alẽ siwo dze dɔ la ŋu o, eye miebla abi na esiwo nu vevi wɔ o. Miekplɔ esiwo tra mɔ la gbɔe o, eye miedi esiwo bu o. Miekplɔ wo kple dzimagbɔɖi, eye miewɔ funyafunya wo.
5 Ngakho zahlakazeka ngoba kwakungelamelusi, njalo kwathi lapho sezihlakazekile zaba yikudla kwazo zonke izinyamazana zeganga.
Ale wokaka, elabena alẽkplɔla aɖeke mele wo si o, eye esi wokaka la, wozu nuɖuɖu na lã wɔadãwo.
6 Izimvu zami zantula phezu kwezintaba zonke laphezu kwamaqaqa wonke. Zazihlakazekele emhlabeni wonke, njalo kakho owazidingayo loba owazicingayo.
Nye alẽwo tsa tsaglalã le towo kple togbɛ kɔkɔ ɖe sia ɖe dzi. Wokaka ɖe afi sia afi le anyigba dzi, eye ame aɖeke medi wo o.’
7 Ngakho, lina belusi, zwanini ilizwi likaThixo elithi:
“Eya ta, mi alẽkplɔlawo, mise Yehowa ƒe nya.
8 Ngeqiniso elinjengoba ngikhona, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi, ngoba umhlambi wami uswela umelusi ngakho usuphangiwe njalo usube yikudla kwezinyamazana zonke zeganga, njalo ngenxa yokuthi abelusi bami kabawudinganga umhlambi kodwa bazikhathalela bona ngokwabo kulomhlambi wami,
‘Nye Aƒetɔ Yehowa, meta nye agbe be, esi alẽkplɔla meli na nye alẽawo o, zi ale si woha nye alẽawo, eye wozu nuɖuɖu na lã wɔadãwo, eye esi nye alẽkplɔlawo medi nye alẽawo o, ke boŋ wolé be na woawo ŋutɔ ɖokui, eye menye na nye alẽawo o ta la,
9 ngakho-ke lina belusi, zwanini ilizwi likaThixo elithi:
eya ta o, alẽkplɔlawo, mise Yehowa ƒe nyawo.’
10 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngimelana labelusi njalo ngizababeka umlandu wezimvu zami. Ngizabasusa ekweluseni umhlambi, abelusi bangabe besaba lokudla. Ngizawuhluthuna umhlambi wami emilonyeni yabo, njalo kawuyikuba yikudla kwabo futhi.
Alea Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Metso ɖe alẽkplɔlawo ŋu, eye mana woana akɔnta tso nye alẽha ŋu. Mana woadzudzɔ alẽawo kpɔkplɔ ale be, alẽkplɔlawo magate ŋu ana nuɖuɖu wo ɖokuiwo o. Maɖe nye alẽha tso woƒe nu me, eye womaganye nuɖuɖu na wo o.’
11 Ngoba nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Mina ngokwami ngizadinga izimvu zami ngizeluse.
“Elabena esiae nye nya si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ, ‘Nye ŋutɔ madi nye alẽwo, eye makpɔ wo dzi.
12 Njengomelusi eluse umhlambi wakhe ohlakazekileyo elawo, ngizazelusa kanjalo izimvu zami. Ngizazihlenga ezindaweni zonke ezahlakazekela kuzo ngosuku lwamayezi lomnyama.
Abe ale si alẽkplɔla kpɔa eƒe alẽ siwo ka hlẽ dzi ne ele wo gbɔ ene la, nenemae makpɔ nye alẽawo dzii. Maɖe wo tso teƒe siwo katã woka hlẽ yi la le lilikpowo kple viviti ƒe ŋkeke aɖe dzi.
13 Ngizazikhupha ezizweni ngizibuthe emazweni, njalo ngizazisa elizweni lazo uqobo. Ngizazidlisa phezu kwezintaba zako-Israyeli, ezihotsheni kanye lasemizaneni yonke eselizweni.
Maɖe wo tso dukɔwo me, maƒo ƒu wo tso anyigbawo dzi, eye makplɔ wo ava woawo ŋutɔ ƒe anyigba dzi. Mana woaɖu gbe le Israel towo dzi, le Israel ƒe baliwo me kple amenɔƒewo katã le anyigba la dzi.
14 Ngizazelusela emadlelweni amahle, njalo iziqongo zezintaba zako-Israyeli zizakuba ngumhlaba wedlelo lazo. Khonapho zizalala phansi emhlabeni olidlelo elihle, njalo khonapho zizakudla edlelweni elivundileyo phezu kwezintaba zako-Israyeli.
Makpɔ wo dzi le lãnyiƒe nyui aɖe, eye Israel ƒe tonyigbawo anye woƒe gbeɖuƒe. Afi ma woatsyɔ akɔ anyi ɖe gbeɖuƒe nyui aɖe, eye afi ma woaɖu gbe le lãnyiƒe dama aɖe le Israel ƒe towo dzi.
15 Mina ngokwami ngizazelusa izimvu zami njalo ngizazilalisa phansi, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
Nye ŋutɔ makpɔ nye alẽwo dzi, eye mana woamlɔ anyi.’ Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
16 Ngizadinga ezilahlekileyo nginqande eziphambukileyo. Ngizabopha ezilimeleyo ngiqinise ezibuthakathaka. Ezinonileyo leziqinileyo ngizazibulala. Umhlambi ngizawelusa ngokulunga.
Madi nye alẽ bubuawo, eye makplɔ mɔtralawo agbɔe. Mabla abi na esiwo nu vevi wɔ, mado ŋusẽ esiwo gbɔdzɔ, ke mawu esiwo da ami kple esiwo nye lãmesẽtɔwo la. Makpɔ nye alẽawo dzi kple dzɔdzɔenyenye.
17 Okunjengawe, mhlambi wami, nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngizakwahlulela phakathi kwenye imvu lenye kanye laphakathi kwenqama lembuzi.
“Ke na mi, nye alẽawo la, aleae Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi. ‘Madrɔ̃ ʋɔnu le alẽ ɖeka kple alẽ bubu dome kple le agbowo kple gbɔ̃wo dome.
18 Kwanele yini kini ukudla emadlelweni amahle na? Kambe kumele lize linyathele amanye amadlelo enu ngezinyawo zenu na? Kakwanelanga kini na ukunatha amanzi ahlanzekileyo? Kambe kumele lingcolise aseleyo ngezinyawo zenu na?
Ɖe mesɔ gbɔ na mi be miaɖu gbe le lãnyiƒe damawo oa? Ɖe wòle be miatu afɔ miaƒe lãnyiƒe si susɔ la dzia? Mesɔ gbɔ na mi be miano tsi nyui oa? Ɖe wòle be miatsɔ miaƒe afɔ ablu ba ɖe tsi si susɔ la mea?
19 Umhlambi kumele udle elikunyatheleyo njalo unathe lokho elikungcolise ngezinyawo zenu na?
Ɖe wòle be nye alẽha naɖu gbe si dzi mietu afɔe eye woano tsi si me miefa ba ɖo kple miaƒe afɔwoa?’
20 Ngakho-ke nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi kuzo: Khangelani, mina ngokwami ngizakwahlulela phakathi kwezimvu ezinonileyo lezimvu ezicakileyo.
“Eya ta nu si Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ na woe nye, ‘Kpɔ ɖa, nye ŋutɔ madrɔ̃ ʋɔnu le alẽ damiwo kple alẽ ɖikuwo dome.
21 Ngoba liyafuqa ngemihlubulo langamahlombe, ligqubule zonke imbuzi ezibuthakathaka ngempondo zenu lize lizixotshele khatshana.
Esi mietsɔ axadame kple abɔta mimi lã ŋusẽmanɔŋutɔwo katã ɖo, eye mietu dzo wo va se ɖe esime mienya wo de gbe la,
22 Ngizahlenga umhlambi wami, njalo kawuyikuphangwa futhi. Ngizakwahlulela phakathi kwenye imvu lenye.
maɖe nye alẽha la, eye womagaha wo azɔ o. Madrɔ̃ ʋɔnu le alẽ ɖeka kple bubu dome.
23 Phezu kwazo ngizabeka umelusi oyedwa, inceku yami uDavida, uzazelusa; uzazelusa abe ngumelusi wazo.
Mana alẽkplɔla ɖeka nye dɔla David nakplɔ wo, eye wòakpɔ wo dzi abe woƒe alẽkplɔla ene.
24 Mina Thixo ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wazo, njalo inceku yami uDavida izakuba yinkosana phakathi kwazo. Mina Thixo sengikhulumile.
Nye, Yehowa, manye woƒe Mawu, eye nye dɔla, David anye fiavi ŋutsuvi anɔ wo dome.’ Nye, Yehowae gblɔe.
25 Ngizakwenza isivumelwano sokuthula lazo njalo ngixotshe izilo zeganga elizweni ukuze ziyehlala enkangala kuthi izimvu zihlale emahlathini zigcinakale.
“‘Mabla ŋutifafa ƒe nu kpli wo, eye maɖe lã wɔadãwo ɖa le anyigba la dzi, ale be woanɔ gbegbe, eye woadɔ alɔ̃ le avewo me le dedinɔnɔ me.
26 Ngizazibusisa kanye lezindawo ezihanqe intaba yami. Ngizakwehlisa imikhizo ngesikhathi sayo; kuzakuba lemikhizo yesibusiso.
Mayra wo kpe ɖe teƒe siwo ƒo xlã nye to la ŋu. Mana tsi nadza le tsidzaɣi, yayra ƒe agbafie anɔ anyi.
27 Izihlahla zeganga zizathela izithelo zazo njalo lomhlabathi uzathela izilimo zawo; abantu bazahlaliseka elizweni labo. Bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo, lapho sengisephula imigoqo yejogwe labo njalo ngibahlenga ezandleni zalabo ababenza izigqili.
Atiwo le gbedzi atse ku, eye anyigba ana nuku nyuiwo, eye amewo anɔ dedie le woƒe anyigba dzi. Woanya be nyee nye Yehowa, ne meŋe woƒe kɔkutimegawo, eye meɖe wo tso ame siwo wɔ wo kluviwoe la ƒe asi me.
28 Kabayikuphangwa yizizwe futhi, lezinyamazana zeganga kaziyikubadla. Bazahlala ngokuvikeleka, njalo kakho ozabenza besabe.
Dukɔwo magaha wo azɔ o, eye lã wɔadãwo magavuvu wo o. Woanɔ anyi le dedinɔnɔ me, eye ame aɖeke magado ŋɔdzi na wo o.
29 Ngizabanika ilizwe elidumileyo ngezilimo zalo, njalo kabayikuhlutshwa yindlala futhi elizweni loba bathwale ihlazo lezizwe.
Mana anyigba si xɔ ŋkɔ le eƒe nukuwo ta la wo, womagakpe fu le dɔwuame ƒe asi me le woƒe anyigba dzi o, eye dukɔwo magaɖu fewu le wo ŋu azɔ o.
30 Lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi mina, UThixo uNkulunkulu wabo, ngilabo kanye lokuthi bona, indlu ka-Israyeli, bangabantu bami, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.
Ekema woanya be nye, Yehowa, woƒe Mawu la meli kpli wo, eye woawo, Israel ƒe aƒe la me tɔwo, nye nye amewo. Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.
31 Lina zimvu zami, zimvu zedlelo lami, lingabantu bami, njalo mina nginguNkulunkulu wenu, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.’”
Mi, nye alẽwo, alẽwo le nye lãnyiƒe mienye, eye nyee nye miaƒe Mawu. Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.’”
