UHezekheli 37
1 Isandla sikaThixo sasiphezu kwami, njalo wangikhuphela phandle ngoMoya kaThixo wangibeka phakathi kwesigodi; sasigcwele amathambo.
Naʻe ʻiate au ʻae nima ʻo Sihova, pea ne ʻave au ʻi he laumālie ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe tuku hifo au ʻi he loto teleʻa naʻe fonu ʻi he ngaahi hui,
2 Wangisa emuva laphambili phakathi kwawo, njalo ngabona amathambo amanengi kakhulu phansi esigodini, amathambo ome kakhulu.
Pea ne puleʻi au ke u ʻalu fakatakamilo ai; pea vakai, naʻe lahi ʻaupito ia ʻi he ʻataʻatā ʻoe teleʻa; pea vakai naʻe mōmoa ʻaupito.
3 Wangibuza wathi, “Ndodana yomuntu, kambe amathambo la angaphila na?” Mina ngathi, “Awu Thixo Wobukhosi, wena kuphela nguwe owaziyo.”
Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻe faʻa moʻui ʻae ngaahi hui ni? Pea naʻaku pehēange, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ko koe pe ʻoku ke ʻafioʻi.
4 Wasesithi kimi, “Phrofetha emathanjeni la uthi kuwo, ‘Mathambo omileyo, zwanini ilizwi likaThixo!
Pea ne toe pehē kiate au, “Kikite ki he ngaahi hui ni, pea ke pehē ki ai, ʻE ngaahi hui mōmoa, fanongo mai ki he folofola ʻa Sihova.
5 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi emathanjeni la: Ngizakwenza umoya ungene phakathi kwenu, njalo lizakuba lokuphila.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ki he ngaahi hui ni; Vakai, te u ngaohi ʻae mānava ke hū kiate kimoutolu, pea te mou moʻui:
6 Ngizaxhuma imisipha kini ngenze inyama ihlume phezu kwenu njalo ngibeke ijwabu phezu kwenu; ngizafaka umoya phakathi kwenu, njalo lizakuba lokuphila. Lapho-ke lizakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.’”
Pea te u kofuʻaki kimoutolu ʻae uoua, pea te u fakatupu ʻae kakano kiate kimoutolu, mo ʻufiʻufi ʻaki kimoutolu ʻae kili, pea ʻai mo e mānava kiate kimoutolu, pea te mou moʻui; pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au.”
7 Ngakho ngaphrofitha njengokulaywa kwami. Kwathi ngisaphrofitha, kwaba lomsindo, umsindo okhehlezelayo, njalo amathambo aqoqana ndawonye, ithambo ethanjeni.
Ko ia naʻaku kikite ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fakahā mai: pea ʻi heʻeku kei lea, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ʻuʻulu, pea vakai naʻe ngaue, pea fehokotaki ʻae ngaahi hui pea taki taha ki hono hui pe ʻoʻona,
8 Ngakhangela, imisipha lenyama kwavela phezu kwawo kwathi ijwabu lawembesa, kodwa kwakungelamoya phakathi kwawo.
Pea ʻi heʻeku sio, vakai ne tupu mai ki ai ʻae uoua pea mo e kakano, pea ne ʻufiʻufi ʻaki kotoa pē ʻae kili: ka naʻe teʻeki ai ha mānava kiate kinautolu.
9 Wasesithi kimi, “Phrofetha emoyeni, phrofetha, ndodana yomuntu, uthi kuwo, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Woza, wena moya, uvela ezindaweni zonke, uphefumulele kubo ababulawayo, ukuba baphile.’”
Pea naʻa ne toki pehē mai kiate au, “Kikite ki he matangi, kikite, foha ʻoe tangata, pea ke pehē ki he matangi, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻae mānava ē! Haʻu mei he feituʻu matangi ʻe fā, pea mānava hifo ki he kau mate na, koeʻuhi ke nau moʻui.
10 Ngakho ngaphrofitha njengokungilaya kwakhe, umoya wasungena kuwo; aba lokuphila njalo ema ngenyawo zawo, kulixuku elikhulukazi.
Ko ia naʻaku kikite ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fekau mai, pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae mānava kiate kinautolu, pea naʻa nau moʻui, mo tuʻu ki ʻolunga ʻi honau vaʻe, ko e fuʻu kau tau tokolahi ʻaupito.
11 Wasesithi kimi: “Ndodana yomuntu, amathambo la ayiyo yonke indlu ka-Israyeli. Bona bathi, ‘Amathambo ethu omile njalo ithemba lethu selitshabalele; sesihunundiwe.’
Pea naʻa ne toki pehē mai kiate au, “Foha ʻoe tangata, ko e ngaahi hui na ko e fale kotoa ia ʻo ʻIsileli: vakai, ʻoku nau pehē, Kuo mōmoa hotau hui, pea kuo mole ʻetau ʻamanaki, pea kuo tuʻusi ke motu ʻakitautolu.
12 Ngakho phrofetha uthi kubo: ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Awu bantu bami, ngizavula amangcwaba enu ngilivuse kuwo; ngizalibuyisela elizweni lako-Israyeli.
Ko ia te ke kikite, pea ke lea kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai, ʻE hoku kakai, te u fakaava homou ngaahi faʻitoka, pea te u pule ke mou toetuʻu mei homou ngaahi faʻitoka, pea ʻe ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli.
13 Lapho-ke, lina bantu bami, lizakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo, lapho sengivula amangcwaba enu ngilivusa kuwo.
Pea te mou ʻilo ko Sihova au, ʻo kau ka fakaava homou ngaahi faʻitoka, ʻE hoku kakai, pea ʻe ʻohake ʻakimoutolu mei homou tanuʻanga,
14 Ngizafaka uMoya wami phakathi kwenu njalo lizaphila, futhi ngizalihlalisa elizweni lenu. Lapho-ke lizakwazi ukuthi mina Thixo sengikhulumile, njalo sengikwenzile lokho, kutsho uThixo.’”
Pea ʻe ʻai hoku laumālie kiate kimoutolu, pea te mou moʻui, pea te u tuku ʻakimoutolu ki homou fonua ʻomoutolu: te mou toki ʻilo ai ko au ko Sihova ne u lea ki ai pea kuo u fai: ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.”
15 Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
Naʻe toe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
16 “Ndodana yomuntu, thatha uluthi lwesigodo, ulobe kulo ukuthi, ‘NgolukaJuda labako-Israyeli amanyane laye.’ Emva kwalokho thatha olunye njalo uluthi lwesigodo, ulobe kulo ukuthi, ‘Uluthi luka-Efrayimi, olukaJosefa kanye lendlu yonke ka-Israyeli emanyene laye.’
“Ko eni foki, ʻa koe foha ʻoe tangata, toʻo kiate koe ha vaʻa ʻakau, pea ke tohi ki ai, ‘Kia Siuta, mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ko ʻene ngaahi kaumeʻa:’ pea ke toʻo ʻae vaʻa ʻakau kehe ʻe taha, pea tohi ki ai, ‘Kia Siosefa, ko e vaʻa ʻakau ʻa ʻIfalemi, mo e fale kotoa ʻo ʻIsileli ko ʻene ngaahi kaumeʻa:’
17 Zihlanganise ndawonye zibe yiluthi olulodwa ukuze zibe luthilunye esandleni sakho.
Pea ke hoko fakataha ia ko e vaʻa ʻakau pe taha; pea ʻe hoko ia ʻo taha pe ʻi ho nima.
18 Lapho abantu bakini bekubuza besithi, ‘Kawuyikusitshela na ukuthi utshoni ngalokhu?’
Pea ka lea mai kiate koe ʻae fānau ʻa hoʻo kakai, ʻo pehē, ʻE ʻikai te ke fakahā mai pe ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻo hoʻo pehē na?
19 uthi kubo, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngizathatha uluthi lukaJosefa olusesandleni sika-Efrayimi lolwezizwana zako-Israyeli ezimanyene laye, ngiluhlanganise loluthi lukaJuda, ngizenze zibe yiluthi lunye lwesigodo, njalo zizakuba ngolulodwa esandleni sami.’
Lea koe kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai te u toʻo ʻae vaʻa ʻakau ʻa Siosefa, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he nima ʻo ʻIfalemi, pea mo e ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli ko ʻene ngaahi kaumeʻa, pea te u ʻai ke fakataha ʻakinautolu mo ia, ʻio, ʻae vaʻa ʻakau ʻa Siuta, ke hoko ʻakinaua ko e vaʻa ʻakau pe taha, pea te na taha pe ʻi hoku nima.
20 Izinti olobe kuzo ziphathe phambi kwamehlo abo
Pea ko e ongo vaʻa ʻakau ʻaia naʻa ke tohi ki ai, ʻe ʻi ho nima ia ʻi honau ʻao.”
21 uthi kubo, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngizakhupha ama-Israyeli ezizweni aya kuzo. Ngizawaqoqa ezindaweni zonke ngiwabuyisele elizweni lawo.
Pea ke lea kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai, te u toʻo ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei he lotolotonga ʻoe hiteni, ʻaia kuo nau ʻalu ki ai, pea te u tānaki ʻakinautolu mei he potu kotoa pē pea ʻe ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki honau fonua ʻonautolu.
22 Ngizawenza abe yisizwe sinye elizweni, phezu kwezintaba zako-Israyeli. Kuzakuba lenkosi eyodwa phezu kwabo bonke njalo akuyikuba lezizwe ezimbili futhi kumbe behlukaniswe ukuba yimibuso emibili.
Pea te u ngaohi ʻakinautolu ko e puleʻanga pe taha ʻi he fonua, ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli; pea ko e tuʻi pe tokotaha ʻe tuʻi kiate kinautolu kotoa pē; pea ʻe ʻikai kei ua ʻa honau puleʻanga, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito kei vahe kehekehe ʻakinautolu ko e puleʻanga ʻe ua:
23 Kabasayikuzingcolisa ngezithombe zabo langezifanekiso zabo ezenyanyekayo loba ngezinye zeziphambeko zabo, ngoba ngizabasindisa kukho konke ukuhlehlela kwabo emuva esonweni, njalo ngizabahlambulula. Bazakuba ngabantu bami, mina ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wabo.
Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau toe fakaʻuliʻi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ha ngaahi tamapua, pe ko ʻenau ngaahi meʻa fakalielia, pe ko ʻenau ngaahi angahala: ka te u fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei honau ngaahi nofoʻanga, ʻaia kuo nau fai angahala ai, pea ʻe fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu: ʻe pehē pe ʻa ʻenau hoko ko hoku kakai, pea te u hoko ko honau ʻOtua au.
24 Inceku yami uDavida uzakuba yinkosi yabo, njalo bonke bazakuba lomelusi munye. Bazalandela imithetho yami njalo bananzelele ukugcina izimiso zami.
Pea ʻe tuʻi kiate kinautolu ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita; pea ʻe ai ʻae tauhi pe taha kiate kinautolu kotoa pē: te nau ʻeveʻeva foki ʻi heʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, mo tokanga ki heʻeku ngaahi fekau, ke fai ki ai.
25 Bazahlala elizweni engalinika inceku yami uJakhobe, ilizwe lapho oyihlo ababehlala khona. Bona labantwana babo kanye labantwana babantwana babo bazahlala khona kokuphela, njalo uDavida inceku yami uzakuba yinkosana yabo kokuphela.
Pea te nau nofo ʻi he fonua, ʻaia kuo u foaki ki heʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Sēkope, ʻaia naʻe nofo ai ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi tamai; pea te nau nofo ʻi ai, ʻio, ʻakinautolu, mo ʻenau fānau, mo e hako ʻo ʻenau fānau ʻo taʻengata; pea ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita, ʻe pule ia kiate kinautolu ʻo taʻengata.
26 Ngizakwenza isivumelwano sokuthula labo; sizakuba yisivumelwano esingayikuphela.
Te u fai foki ha fuakava fakamelino mo kinautolu; ko e fuakava ia mo kinautolu ke taʻengata; pea te u fakanofo ʻakinautolu, mo fakatokolahiʻi ʻakinautolu, pea te u fokotuʻu ʻa hoku fale tapu ʻi honau lotolotonga ke lauikuonga.
27 Indawo yami yokuhlala izakuba kubo; ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wabo, njalo bona bazakuba ngabantu bami.
ʻE ʻiate kinautolu foki ʻa hoku fale fehikitaki: ʻio, te u ʻi ai ko honau ʻOtua au, pea ko hoku kakai ʻakinautolu.
28 Lapho-ke izizwe zizakwazi ukuthi mina Thixo ngenza u-Israyeli abengcwele, nxa indlu yami engcwele iphakathi kwabo nini lanini.’”
Pea ʻe ʻilo ʻe he hiteni, ko au ko Sihova, ʻoku ou fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo kau ka tuku ʻa hoku fale tapu ʻi honau lotolotonga, ke lauikuonga.”
