UHezekheli 33

1 Ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi futhi, lisithi:

And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

2 Ndodana yomuntu, khuluma kubantwana babantu bakho, uthi kubo: Ilizwe, lapho ngiletha inkemba phezu kwalo, labantu belizwe bathathe umuntu emingceleni yakibo, bambeke abe ngumlindi wabo,

O son of humankind speak to [the] children of people your and you will say to them a land that I will bring on it a sword and they will choose [the] people of the land a man one from ends their and they will make him for them into a watchman.

3 lapho ebona inkemba isiza phezu kwelizwe, avuthele uphondo, axwayise abantu,

And he will see the sword coming on the land and he will give a blast on the trumpet and he will warn the people.

4 kuzakuthi loba ngubani ozwa umsindo wophondo, kodwa angaxwayi, lapho inkemba ifika, imsuse, igazi lakhe lizakuba phezu kwekhanda lakhe.

And he will hear the [one who] hears [the] sound of the trumpet and not he took warning and it came [the] sword and it took him blood his on head his it will be.

5 Uzwile ukukhala kophondo, kodwa angaxwayi; igazi lakhe lizakuba phezu kwakhe. Kodwa oxwayayo uzawophula umphefumulo wakhe.

[the] sound of The trumpet he heard and not he took warning blood his on him it will be and he he had taken warning life his he delivered.

6 Kodwa nxa umlindi ebona inkemba isiza, angavutheli uphondo, abantu bengaxwayiswa, aluba inkemba ifika, isuse umuntu phakathi kwabo, yena ususwa esesonweni sakhe, kodwa igazi lakhe ngizalibiza esandleni somlindi.

And the watchman if he will see the sword coming and not he will give a blast on the trumpet and the people not it was warned and it came [the] sword and it took of them anyone he in iniquity his he was taken and blood his from [the] hand of the watchman I will require.

7 Wena-ke, ndodana yomuntu, ngikubeke waba ngumlindi endlini kaIsrayeli; ngakho uzakuzwa ilizwi elivela emlonyeni wami, ubaxwayise ngokuvela kimi.

And you O son of humankind a watchman I have appointed you for [the] house of Israel and you will hear from mouth my a word and you will warn them from me.

8 Uba ngisithi komubi: Mubi, uzakufa lokufa; uba wena ungakhulumi ukuxwayisa omubi atshiye indlela yakhe, lowo omubi uzafela esonweni sakhe, kodwa igazi lakhe ngizalibiza esandleni sakho.

When say I to the wicked [person] O wicked [person] surely you will die and not you have spoken to warn [the] wicked [person] from way his that wicked [person] in iniquity his he will die and blood his from hand your I will require.

9 Kodwa wena uba umxwayisa omubi ngendlela yakhe ukuthi aphenduke kuyo; uba engaphenduki endleleni yakhe, yena uzafela ebubini bakhe, kodwa wena usuwophule umphefumulo wakho.

And you if you have warned [the] wicked [person] from way his to turn back from it and not he has turned back from way his he in iniquity his he will die and you life your you have delivered.

10 Ngakho, wena ndodana yomuntu, tshono kuyo indlu kaIsrayeli: Likhuluma ngokunjalo lisithi: Ngoba iziphambeko zethu lezono zethu ziphezu kwethu, thina sicikizeke sikuzo, pho, sizaphila njani?

And you O son of humankind say to [the] house of Israel thus you have said saying that transgressions our and sins our [are] on us and in them we [are] wasting away and how? will we live.

11 Tshono kubo: Kuphila kwami, itsho iNkosi uJehova, isibili kangithokozi ngokufa komubi, kodwa ngokuthi omubi aphenduke endleleni yakhe aphile. Phendukani, phendukani ezindleleni zenu ezimbi; ngoba lizafelani, lina ndlu kaIsrayeli?

Say to them [by] [the] life of me - [the] utterance of - [the] Lord Yahweh if I take pleasure in [the] death of the wicked [person] that except when turns back a wicked [person] from way his and he will live turn back turn back from ways your evil and why? will you die O house of Israel.

12 Wena-ke, ndodana yomuntu, tshono ebantwaneni babantu bakiniuthi: Ukulunga kolungileyo kakuyikumophula ngosuku lwesiphambeko sakhe; mayelana lenkohlakalo yokhohlakeleyo, kayikuwa ngayo ngosuku azaphenduka ngalo enkohlakalweni yakhe; lolungileyo kayikuba lakho ukuphila ngokulunga kwakhe ngosuku ona ngalo.

And you O son of humankind say to [the] children of people your [the] righteousness of the righteous [person] not it will deliver him on [the] day of transgression his and [the] wickedness of the wicked [person] not he will stumble in it on [the] day turns back he from wickedness his and a righteous [person] not he will be able to live in it on [the] day sins he.

13 Lapho ngizakutsho kolungileyo ukuthi uzaphila isibili; uba yena ethembela ekulungeni kwakhe, enze isiphambeko, konke ukulunga kwakhe kakuyikukhunjulwa; kodwa ngenxa yobubi bakhe abenzileyo, uzabufela.

When say I to the righteous [person] certainly he will live and he he relies on righteousness his and he will do unrighteousness all (righteousness his *Q(K)*) not they will be remembered and in unrighteousness his which he has done in it he will die.

14 Futhi uba ngisitsho kokhohlakeleyo ukuthi: Uzakufa lokufa; uba ephenduka esonweni sakhe, enze isahlulelo lokulungileyo,

And when say I to the wicked [person] surely you will die and he will turn back from sin his and he will do justice and righteousness.

15 okhohlakeleyo ebuyisela isibambiso, abhadale impango, ahambe ngezimiso zempilo, ukuthi angenzi isiphambeko, uzaphila isibili, kayikufa.

A pledge he will return a wicked [person] robbery he will repay in [the] statutes of life he walks to not to do unrighteousness certainly he will live not he will die.

16 Kakukho lasinye sezono zakhe azenzileyo esizakhunjulwa kuye; wenzile isahlulelo lokulungileyo; uzaphila isibili.

All (sins his *Q(K)*) which he has sinned not they will be remembered to him justice and righteousness he has done certainly he will live.

17 Kodwa abantwana babantu bakini bathi: Indlela yeNkosi kayilingani; kanti ngeyabo indlela engalinganiyo.

And they say [the] children of people your not it is correct [the] way of [the] Lord and they own way their not it is correct.

18 Nxa olungileyo ephenduka ekulungeni kwakhe, enze isiphambeko, uzakufa ngenxa yaso.

When turns back a righteous [person] from righteousness his and he will do unrighteousness and he will die in them.

19 Kodwa uba okhohlakeleyo ephenduka kunkohlakalo yakhe, enze isahlulelo lokulungileyo, yena uzaphila ngakho.

And when turns back a wicked [person] from wickedness his and he will do justice and righteousness on them he he will live.

20 Kanti lithi: Indlela yeNkosi kayilingani. Wena ndlu kaIsrayeli, ngizalahlulela, ngulowo lalowo njengendlela zakhe.

And you say not it is correct [the] way of [the] Lord everyone according to ways his I will judge you O house of Israel.

21 Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wetshumi lambili wokuthunjwa kwethu, ngenyanga yetshumi, ngolwesihlanu lwenyanga, owayephunyukile eJerusalema wafika kimi esithi: Umuzi usutshayiwe.

And it was in two [plus] ten year in the tenth [month] on [day] five of the month of exile our he came to me the escapee from Jerusalem saying it has been struck the city.

22 Kwathi isandla seNkosi saba phezu kwami kusihlwa, ophunyukileyo engakafiki, savula umlomo wami, waze wafika kimi ekuseni. Ngokunjalo umlomo wami wavuleka, kangabe ngisaba yisimungulu.

And [the] hand of Yahweh it had been to me in the evening before came the escapee and he had opened mouth my until came to me in the morning and it was opened mouth my and not I was dumb again.

23 Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kimi, lisithi:

And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

24 Ndodana yomuntu, abahlali balawomanxiwa elizwe lakoIsrayeli bakhuluma besithi: UAbrahama wayemunye, wadla ilifa lelizwe; kodwa thina sibanengi; ilizwe silinikiwe ukuba yilifa.

O son of humankind [the] inhabitants of the waste places these on [the] land of Israel [are] saying saying one he was Abraham and he possessed the land and we [are] many to us it has been given the land to a possession.

25 Ngakho tshono kubo: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Lidla okulegazi, liphakamisele amehlo enu ezithombeni zenu, lichithe igazi; kambe lizakudla ilifa lelizwe yini?

Therefore say to them thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh with the blood - you eat and eyes your you lift up to idols your and blood you shed and ¿ land will you possess?

26 Lima phezu kwenkemba yenu, lenze isinengiso, lingcolise, ngulowo lalowo umfazi kamakhelwane wakhe; kambe lizakudla ilifa lelizwe yini?

You have stood on sword your you have done abomination and everyone [the] wife of neighbor his you have defiled and the land will you possess?

27 Tshono njalo kubo: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Kuphila kwami, isibili labo abasemanxiweni bazakuwa ngenkemba; lalowo osegcekeni ngizamnikela ezilweni ukuthi zimudle, lalabo abasezinqabeni labasezimbalwini bazakufa ngomatshayabhuqe wesifo.

Thus you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh [by] [the] life of me if not [those] who [are] in the waste places by the sword they will fall and [the one] who [is] on [the] surface of the field to the animal[s] I will give him to eat him and [those] who [are] in the strongholds and in the caves by pestilence they will die.

28 Ngoba ngizalenza ilizwe libe lunxiwa lencithakalo, lokuziqhenya kwamandla alo kuzaphela, lezintaba zakoIsrayeli zibe yinkangala, ukuze kungabi khona odlulayo.

And I will make the land a desolation and a waste and it will cease [the] pride of strength its and they will be desolate [the] mountains of Israel from not [one who] passes by.

29 Khona bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi, lapho sengenze ilizwe laba yinkangala lesesabiso ngenxa yawo wonke amanyala abo abawenzileyo.

And they will know that I [am] Yahweh when make I the land a desolation and a waste on all abominations their which they have done.

30 Wena-ke, ndodana yomuntu, abantwana babantu bakini basakhuluma ngawe ngasemidulwini laseminyango yezindlu, njalo omunye ekhuluma komunye, ngulowo lalowo kumfowabo, besithi: Wozani, ngiyacela, lizwe ukuthi yilizwi bani eliphuma eNkosini.

And you O son of humankind [the] children of people your who are speaking together in you beside the walls and in [the] doorways of the houses and he speaks one with one each with brother his saying come please and hear what? [is] the word that is coming out from with Yahweh.

31 Njalo bayeza kuwe njengokuza kwabantu, bahlale phambi kwakho njengabantu bami, bezwe amazwi akho, kodwa bangawenzi; ngoba ngomlomo wabo babonakalisa uthando olukhulu, kodwa inhliziyo yabo ilandela inzuzo yabo embi.

So they may come to you like [the] coming of a people so they may sit before you people my and they hear words your and them not they do for lustful desires in mouth their they [are] doing after unjust gain their heart their [is] going.

32 Khangela-ke, kubo unjengengoma ethandekayo, ilizwi elimnandi, lowazi kuhle ukutshaya ichacho; ngoba besizwa amazwi akho kodwa bengawenzi.

And there you to them [are] like a song of lustful desires [one] beautiful of voice and [one who] does well to play and they hear words your and [are] doing not they them.

33 Kodwa ekufikeni kwalokhu (khangela, kuzafika), khona bazakwazi ukuthi bekukhona umprofethi phakathi kwabo.

And when comes it there! [it is] coming and they will know that a prophet he has been in midst of them.
