UHezekheli 15

1 Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kimi lisithi:

Yehowa ƒe nya va nam be,

2 Ndodana yomuntu, isihlahla sevini siyini ngaphezu kwaso sonke isihlahla, kumbe ugatsha oluphakathi kwezihlahla zegusu?

“Ame vi, aleke wainka nyo wu avemeti ƒe alɔe?

3 Kuzathathwa kiso isigodo yini ukwenza umsebenzi? Bangathatha kiso isikhonkwane yini ukuthi balengise lasiphi isitsha kiso?

Ɖe wokpɔa ati si woatsɔ awɔ nu si ŋu ŋudɔwɔnu aɖe le la le emea? Ɖe wowɔa tsyoti tso eme ne woate ŋu atsɔ nane aku ɖe eŋua?

4 Khangela, siyanikelwa emlilweni sibe yikudla, umlilo uqede izihloko zaso zombili, lokuphakathi kwaso kutshiswe. Siselosizo kuwo umsebenzi yini?

Eye ne wotsɔe de dzo me abe nake ene la, dzo la bina tso eƒe nugbɔ eve, eye wofiaa eƒe domedome, ekema ɖe ŋudɔwɔnu aɖe gale eŋua?

5 Khangela, lapho sisaphelele, asenziwanga sibe ngumsebenzi; kuncane kangakanani lapho umlilo ususiqedile sesitshile sisezakwenziwa sibe ngumsebenzi!

Ne womete ŋu wɔ eŋu dɔ na naneke esime wònɔ blibo o la, aleke woate ŋu awɔ eŋu dɔ azɔ awɔ nane si ŋu ŋudɔwɔnu le esime dzo bii, eye wòzu aka?

6 Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Njengesihlahla sevini phakathi kwezihlahla zegusu, engisinikele emlilweni sibe yikudla, ngokunjalo ngizanikela abahlali beJerusalema.

“Eya ta aleae Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Ale si metsɔ wainti de avemetiwo dome abe nake ene la, nenema kee mawɔ ame siwo le Yerusalem.

7 Ngoba ngizamisa ubuso bami bumelane labo; bazaphuma komunye umlilo kuthi omunye umlilo ubaqede; njalo lizakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi, sengimise ubuso bami bamelana labo.

Mana nye mo nanyra ɖe wo ŋu. Togbɔ be wodo le dzoa me hã la, dzo la agabi wo kokoko. Eye ne mena nye mo nyra ɖe wo ŋu hã la, mianya be, nyee nye Yehowa.

8 Njalo ngizakwenza ilizwe libe lunxiwa, ngoba benze isiphambeko, itsho iNkosi uJehova.

Mana anyigba la nazu gbegbe, elabena wogbugbɔ le yonyeme.’ Aƒetɔ Yehowae gblɔe.”
