UHezekheli 12
1 Ilizwi leNkosi lafika futhi kimi lisithi:
Shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti,
2 Ndodana yomuntu, uhlala phakathi kwendlu evukelayo, abalamehlo okubona, kodwa bengaboni, balendlebe zokuzwa, kodwa bengezwa; ngoba bayindlu evukelayo.
“Mwanakomana womunhu, iwe ugere pakati pavanhu vanondimukira. Vane meso okuona asi havaoni, vane nzeve dzokunzwa asi havanzwi, nokuti vanhu vokumukira.
3 Ngakho, wena ndodana yomuntu, zenzele impahla yokuthunjwa, usuke emini phambi kwamehlo abo, usuke endaweni yakho uye kwenye indawo phambi kwamehlo abo. Mhlawumbe bazabona lanxa beyindlu evukelayo.
“Naizvozvo, mwanakomana womunhu, rongedza midziyo yako utame uye utame masikati, vakakutarira, ubude ubve panzvimbo yauri uende kune imwe nzvimbo. Zvimwe vachanzwisisa, kunyange vari imba inondimukira.
4 Ubusukhupha impahla yakho emini phambi kwamehlo abo njengempahla yokuthunjwa; wena-ke uzaphuma ntambama phambi kwamehlo abo njengabaphuma besiya ekuthunjweni.
Masikati chaiwo, vakatarira, iwe budisa nhumbi dzako dzakarongedzerwa kutama. Ipapo panguva yamadekwana, ivo vakatarira, buda iwe sezvinoita vaya vanoenda muutapwa.
5 Uzibhobozele umduli phambi kwamehlo abo, uyikhuphe kiwo.
Uboore masvingo vakatarira ugotora nhumbi dzako ubude napo.
6 Phambi kwamehlo abo uzayithwala emahlombe, uyikhiphe emnyameni, ugubuzele ubuso bakho ukuze ungaboni umhlabathi; ngoba ngikubeke waba yisibonakaliso kuyo indlu yakoIsrayeli.
Udziise papfudzi rako ivo vakangotarisa ugobuda nadzo kwasviba. Ufukidze chiso chako kuti urege kuona nyika, nokuti ndakuita chiratidzo kuimba yaIsraeri.”
7 Ngasengisenza ngokunjalo njengokulaywa kwami: Ngakhupha impahla yami emini, njengempahla yokuthunjwa; kwathi kusihlwa ngazibhobozela umduli ngesandla, ngayikhupha emnyameni ngayithwala emahlombe phambi kwamehlo abo.
Saka ndakaita sezvandakarayirwa. Panguva yamasikati ndakabudisa zvinhu zvangu zvarongedzerwa kutama. Zvino panguva yamadekwana ndakaboora masvingo namaoko angu. Ndakabudisa nhumbi dzangu kwasviba, ndakazvitakura pamapfudzi angu ivo vakangotarisa.
8 Ekuseni ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kimi lisithi:
Shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri panguva yamangwanani richiti,
9 Ndodana yomuntu, kayitshongo yini kuwe indlu kaIsrayeli, indlu evukelayo, ukuthi: Wenzani?
“Mwanakomana womunhu, imba iyo yokundimukira yaIsraeri haina kukubvunza here kuti, ‘Uri kuiteiko?’
10 Tshono kubo: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Lo umthwalo umayelana lesiphathamandla eJerusalema, layo yonke indlu kaIsrayeli ephakathi kwabo.
“Uti kwavari, ‘Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Chirevo ichi chinoreva muchinda weJerusarema neimba yose yaIsraeri iripo.’
11 Wothi: Ngiyisibonakaliso senu; njengoba ngenzile, kuzakwenziwa njalo kubo, bazakuya ekuthunjweni ngokuthunjwa.
Uti kwavari, ‘Ini ndiri chiratidzo kwamuri.’ “Sezvandakaita, ndizvo zvavachaitirwawo. Vachaenda kuutapwa senhapwa.
12 Njalo isiphathamandla esiphakathi kwabo sizayithwala emahlombe emnyameni, siphume; bazabhoboza umduli ukuze bakhuphe ngawo; sizagubuzela ubuso baso, ukuze singaboni umhlabathi ngamehlo.
“Muchinda ari pakati pavo achaisa zvinhu zvake papfudzi kwasviba agoenda, uye achaboorerwa buri rokubuda naro parusvingo. Achafukidza chiso chake kuitira kuti arege kuona nyika.
13 Njalo ngizakwendlala imbule lami phezu kwaso, ukuthi sibanjwe emgibeni wami; ngisilethe eBhabhiloni, ilizwe lamaKhaladiya; kanti kasiyikulibona, loba sizafela khona.
Ndichamutambanudzira mumbure wangu, uye achabatwa mumusungo wangu; ndichamuendesa kuBhabhironi, nyika yavaKaradhea, asi haasi kuzoiona, uye ikoko ndiko kwaachafira.
14 Labo bonke abasihanqileyo ukuba lusizo lwaso lalo lonke ibutho laso ngizabahlakazela kuwo wonke umoya; ngihwatshe inkemba emva kwabo.
Ndichaparadzira kumhepo vose vakamupoteredza, vashandiri vake namauto ake, uye ndichavateverera nomunondo wakavhomorwa.
15 Khona bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi nxa ngibahlakazela ezizweni, ngibachithachithela emazweni.
“Vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha, pandichavaparadzira pakati pendudzi ndigovaparadzira kunyika dzose.
16 Kodwa ngizatshiya amadoda amalutshwana kubo asuke enkembeni, endlaleni, lakumatshayabhuqe wesifo, ukuze balandise ngawo wonke amanyala abo phakathi kwezizwe abazafika kizo; njalo bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.
Asi ndichasiya vashoma vavo pamunondo, napanzara nedenda, kuitira kuti pakati pendudzi kwavachaenda zvimwe vangarangarira zvinyangadzo zvavo zvavakaita zvose. Ipapo vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.”
17 Ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi futhi lisithi:
Shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti,
18 Ndodana yomuntu, dlana isinkwa sakho ngokuqhaqhazela, unathe amanzi akho ngokuthuthumela langokukhathazeka.
“Mwanakomana womunhu, udedere paunenge uchidya zvokudya zvako, uye udedere uye utye paunonwa mvura yako.
19 Ubususithi ebantwini belizwe: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova ngabahlali beJerusalema, ngelizwe lakoIsrayeli: Bazakudla isinkwa sabo ngokukhathazeka, banathe amanzi abo ngokwesabisayo, ukuze ilizwe labo libe lunxiwa ngokugcwala kwalo ngenxa yodlakela lwabo bonke abahlala kilo.
Uti kuvanhu venyika, ‘Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha pamusoro pavanogara muJerusarema uye nomunyika yaIsraeri: Vachadya zvokudya zvavo nokufunganya uye vachanwa mvura yavo vaora mwoyo, nokuti nyika yavo ichatorerwa zviri mairi nokuda kwechisimba chaavo vose vanogaramo.
20 Lemizi okuhlalwa kiyo izakuba ngamanxiwa, lelizwe libe yinkangala; njalo lizakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.
Maguta anogarwa navanhu achava matongo uye nyika ichaparadzwa. Ipapo muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha.’”
21 Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kimi lisithi:
Shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti,
22 Ndodana yomuntu, kuyini lesisaga elilaso elizweni lakoIsrayeli esithi: Insuku ziyelulwa, lawo wonke umbono uyabhubha?
“Mwanakomana womunhu, chirevo ichi chamunacho munyika yaIsraeri ndecheiko chinoti, ‘Mazuva ari kungopera uye zviratidzo zvose zvinongova pasina?’
23 Ngakho batshele uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ngizakwenza lesisaga siphele, njalo kabasayikusisebenzisa njengesaga koIsrayeli; kodwa tshono kubo: Kusondele izinsuku lelizwi lawo wonke umbono.
Uti kwavari, ‘Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Ndichaita kuti chirevo ichi chigume, uye havachazochitauri muIsraeri.’ Uti kwavari, ‘Mazuva aswedera okuti zviratidzo zvose zvizadziswe.
24 Ngoba kakusayikuba khona lamunye umbono oyize, lokuvumisa okubutshelezi phakathi kwendlu yakoIsrayeli.
Nokuti hakuchazovazve nezviratidzo zvenhema kana kuvuka kunobata kumeso pakati pavanhu veIsraeri.
25 Ngoba mina Nkosi ngizakhuluma; ilizwi engizalikhuluma lizakwenzeka, kalisayikuphuziswa; ngoba ezinsukwini zenu, lina ndlu evukelayo, ngizakhuluma ilizwi, ngilenze, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
Asi ini Jehovha ndichataura zvandichataura, uye zvichazadzisika zvisinganonoki. Nokuti pamazuva enyu, imi imba yokumukira, ndichazadzisa zvose zvandinotaura, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.’”
26 Lafika futhi kimi ilizwi leNkosi lisithi:
Shoko raJehovha rakauya kwandiri richiti,
27 Ndodana yomuntu, khangela, abendlu yakoIsrayeli bathi: Umbono awubonayo ungowensuku ezinengi, njalo uprofetha ngezikhathi ezikhatshana.
“Mwanakomana womunhu, imba yaIsraeri iri kuti, ‘Chiratidzo chaanoona ndechamakore mazhinji kubva iye zvino, uye anoprofita zvenguva inouya zviri kure.’
28 Ngakho uthi kubo: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Kakusayikuphuziswa lelilodwa lamazwi ami, kodwa ilizwi engizalikhuluma lizakwenzeka, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
“Naizvozvo uti kwavari, ‘Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Hakuna shoko rangu richanonokazve; zvose zvandinoreva zvichazadzisika, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha.’”
