< UHezekheli 2 >
1 Wasesithi kimi: Ndodana yomuntu, mana ngenyawo zakho, ngikhulume lawe.
2 Kwasekungena kimi uMoya lapho ekhuluma kimi, wangimisa ngenyawo zami; ngasengimuzwa okhuluma kimi.
3 Wasesithi kimi: Ndodana yomuntu, ngiyakuthuma ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli, ezizweni ezivukelayo, abangivukeleyo; bona laboyise baphambukile kimi, kuze kube yilolusuku kanye.
4 Ngoba bangabantwana abalukhuni ngobuso labalukhuni ngenhliziyo; ngikuthuma kubo, njalo uzakuthi kubo: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova.
5 Bona-ke, loba bezakuzwa, kumbe loba beyekela (ngoba beyindlu evukelayo), bazakwazi ukuthi ubekhona umprofethi phakathi kwabo.
6 Wena-ke, ndodana yomuntu, ungabesabi, ungawesabi lamazwi abo, lanxa ameva lokhula oluhlabayo kukuwe, njalo uhlezi phakathi kwabofezela; ungawesabi amazwi abo, ungatshaywa luvalo ngobuso babo, ngoba beyindlu evukelayo.
7 Kodwa uzakhuluma amazwi ami kubo, loba bezakuzwa kumbe bayekele; ngoba bevukela.
8 Kodwa wena, ndodana yomuntu, zwana engikutshoyo kuwe; ungabi ngovukelayo njengaleyana indlu evukelayo; vula umlomo wakho, udle engikunika khona.
9 Ngasengibona, khangela-ke, isandla sithunyelwe kimi; khangela-ke umqulu wogwalo wawukuso.
10 Wasewendlala phambi kwami, njalo wawubhaliwe phambili langemuva; njalo kwakubhalwe phakathi kwawo izililo, lokukhala, losizi.
