UHezekheli 46
1 Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Isango leguma elingaphakathi elikhangele ngasempumalanga lizavaleka insuku eziyisithupha zokusebenza. Kodwa ngosuku lwesabatha lizavulwa, langosuku lokuthwasa kwenyanga lizavulwa.
“‘Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Suo roruvazhe rwomukati rakatarisa kumabvazuva rinofanira kugara rakapfigwa mazuva matanhatu anobatwa nawo basa, asi pazuva reSabata uye pazuva roKugara kwoMwedzi rinofanira kuzarurwa.
2 Njalo isiphathamandla sizangena ngendlela yekhulusi lalelosango sivela phandle, sime emgubazini wesango. Abapristi balungise umnikelo waso wokutshiswa leminikelo yaso yokuthula, sona sizakhonza sisembundwini wesango, siphume; kodwa isango kaliyikuvalwa kuze kube kusihlwa.
Muchinda anobva kunze anofanira kupinda napabiravira rapasuo agomira pambiru dzapasuo. Vaprista vanofanira kubayira chipiriso chake chinopiswa nechipiriso chake chokuwadzana. Anofanira kunamata ari pachikumbaridzo chepasuo ipapo agobuda kunze, asi harifaniri kuzopfigwa kusvikira madekwana.
3 Ngokunjalo abantu belizwe bazakhonza emnyango walelisango ngamasabatha langokuthwasa kwezinyanga phambi kweNkosi.
Vanhu venyika vanofanira kunamata pamberi paJehovha vari pamukova wesuo pamaSabata napaKugara kwoMwedzi.
4 Lomnikelo wokutshiswa isiphathamandla esizawunikela eNkosini ngosuku lwesabatha uzakuba ngamawundlu ayisithupha angelasici, lenqama engelasici.
Chipiriso chinopiswa chinofanira kuvigirwa Jehovha nomuchinda nomusi weSabata, chinofanira kuva chamakwayana matanhatu makono negondobwe, ose asina kuremara.
5 Lomnikelo wokudla uzakuba yi-efa ngenqama, lomnikelo wokudla ngamawundlu uzakuba yisipho sesandla saso, kanye lehini yamafutha nge-efa.
Chipiriso chezviyo chinopiwa pamwe chete negondobwe chinofanira kuita efa imwe chete, uye chipiriso chezviyo nemakwayana chinofanira kuva sezvaanoda, pamwe chete nehini yamafuta paefa imwe neimwe.
6 Langosuku lokuthwasa kwenyanga kuzakuba lijongosi ithole lenkomo elingelasici, lamawundlu ayisithupha, lenqama; kungabi lasici.
Pazuva roKugara kwoMwedzi anofanira kupa hando duku, makwayana matanhatu negondobwe, zvose zvisina kuremara.
7 Njalo sizalungisa umnikelo wokudla, i-efa ngejongosi, le-efa ngenqama, langamawundlu njengalokho isandla saso singafinyelela kukho, lehini lamafutha nge-efa.
Anofanira kupa sechipiriso chezviyo efa imwe chete nehando, efa imwe chete negondobwe, uye namakwayana paanoda kupa napo, pamwe chete nehini yamafuta paefa imwe neimwe.
8 Lalapho isiphathamandla singena, sizangena ngendlela yekhulusi lalelosango, siphume ngendlela yalo.
Panopinda muchinda, anofanira kupinda napabiravira rapanzira yesuo, uye anofanira kubuda nenzira imwe cheteyo.
9 Kodwa lapho abantu belizwe besiza phambi kweNkosi emikhosini emisiweyo, lowo ongena ngendlela yesango elingenyakatho ukuzakhonza uzaphuma ngendlela yesango elingeningizimu, longena ngendlela yesango elingeningizimu uzaphuma ngendlela yesango elingenyakatho. Kayikubuyela ngendlela yesango angene ngalo, kodwa uzaphuma maqondana lalo.
“‘Vanhu venyika pavanouya pamberi paJehovha panguva yemitambo yakatarwa, ani naani anopinda napasuo rokumusoro kundonamata anofanira kubuda nokusuo rezasi; uye ani naani anopinda nesuo rezasi anofanira kubuda nesuo rokumusoro. Hakuna munhu anotenderwa kudzoka nesuo raambopinda naro, asi mumwe nomumwe anofanira kubuda neimwe nzira.
10 Lesiphathamandla sizangena siphakathi kwabo lapho bengena; lalapho bephuma sizaphuma.
Muchinda anofanira kuva pakati pavo, pavanopinda anofanira kupinda navo, napavanobuda anofanira kubuda navo.
11 Lemadilini lemikhosini emisiweyo umnikelo wokudla uzakuba li-efa ngejongosi, le-efa ngenqama, lesipho sesandla sakhe ngamawundlu, lehini lamafutha nge-efa.
“‘Pamitambo napamitambo yakatarwa, chipiriso chezviyo chinofanira kuita efa imwe chete nehando, efa imwe chete negondobwe, uye namakwayana sezvaanoda, pamwe chete nehini yamafuta paefa imwe neimwe.
12 Lalapho isiphathamandla silungisa umnikelo wesihle, umnikelo wokutshiswa, loba iminikelo yokuthula, umnikelo wesihle eNkosini, omunye uzasivulela isango elikhangele ngasempumalanga, silungise umnikelo waso wokutshiswa, leminikelo yaso yokuthula, njengokwenza kwaso ngosuku lwesabatha; siphume, njalo omunye uzavala isango emva kokuphuma kwaso.
Kana muchinda achipa chipiriso chokungopa kuna Jehovha, chingava chipiriso chinopiswa kana chokuwadzana, suo rakatarisa kumabvazuva rinofanira kumuzarurirwa iye. Achapa chipiriso chake chinopiswa kana chipiriso chokuwadzana sezvaanoita nomusi weSabata. Ipapo anofanira kuzobuda kunze, uye shure kwokubuda kwake, suo richapfigwa.
13 Njalo uzalungisa iwundlu elilomnyaka munye elingelasici libe ngumnikelo wokutshiswa eNkosini insuku zonke. Uzalilungisa ngaleyo laleyo ikuseni.
“‘Zuva rimwe nerimwe unofanira kupa gwayana rine gore rimwe chete risina kuremara kuti rive chipiriso chinopiswa kuna Jehovha; mangwanani oga oga unofanira kuuya naro.
14 Futhi uzalilungisela umnikelo wokudla ngaleyo laleyo ikuseni, ingxenye yesithupha ye-efa, lengxenye yesithathu yehini yamafutha, ukuthambisa impuphu ecolekileyo, kube ngumnikelo wokudla eNkosini, ngezimiso eziphakade njalonjalo.
Unofanira kuuyawo nechipiriso chezviyo chinokwana chikamu chimwe chete muzvitanhatu cheefa, nechikamu chimwe chete kubva muzvitatu chehini yamafuta okunyorovesa upfu, mangwanani oga oga. Kupiwa kwechipiriso ichi kuna Jehovha, mutemo unogara nokusingaperi.
15 Ngokunjalo bazalungisa iwundlu lomnikelo wokudla lamafutha ngaleyo laleyo ikuseni kube ngumnikelo wokutshiswa njalonjalo.
Saka gwayana nechipiriso chezviyo namafuta zvichafanira kuuyiwa nazvo mangwanani oga oga kuti zvive chipiriso chinopiswa nguva dzose.
16 Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Uba isiphathamandla sinika isipho kuloba yiyiphi yamadodana aso, ilifa laso, amadodana aso azakuba lalo, lizakuba yimpahla yawo ngokwelifa.
“‘Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Kana muchinda achipa chipo chinobva panhaka yake kuno mumwe wavanakomana vake, chichavawo chezvizvarwa zvake zvinotevera, chichava chavo chenhaka.
17 Kodwa uba sinika isipho selifa laso kwenye yezinceku zaso, sizakuba ngesayo kuze kube ngumnyaka wenkululeko; khona sizabuyela kusiphathamandla; kodwa siyilifa laso, amadodana aso azakuba laso.
Kunyange zvakadaro, kana akapa chipo kubva panhaka yake kuno mumwe wavaranda vake, muranda uyu angachichengeta hake kusvikira pagore rokusununguka; ipapo chichadzoserwa kumuchinda. Nhaka yake ndeyavanakomana vake chete; ndeyavo.
18 Futhi isiphathamandla kasiyikuthatha ulutho elifeni labantu ukubacindezela basuke emfuyweni yabo; sizanika ilifa emadodaneni aso emfuyweni yaso; ukuze abantu bami bangahlakazwa ngulowo asuke emfuyweni yakhe.
Muchinda haafaniri kutora nhaka ipi zvayo yavanhu, achivadzinga pazvinhu zvavo. Anofanira kupa vanakomana vake nhaka yavo inobva pane zvake, kuitira kuti vanhu vangu varege kuparadzaniswa nezvinhu zvavo.’”
19 Wasengingenisa ekungeneni, okwakuseceleni kwesango, kusiya emakamelweni angcwele abapristi, akhangele ngasenyakatho; khangela-ke kwakulendawo kunhlangothi zombili ngasentshonalanga.
Ipapo murume uyu akandipinza napamukova uri parutivi pesuo rinoenda kumakamuri matsvene akatarisa kumusoro, akanga ari avaprista akandiratidza nzvimbo yakanga iri nechokumagumo kworutivi rwokumavirira.
20 Wasesithi kimi: Yiyo le indawo lapho abapristi abazaphekela khona umnikelo wecala lomnikelo wesono, lapho abazabhakela khona umnikelo wokudla, ukuze bangakukhupheli egumeni elingaphandle, ukungcwelisa abantu.
Akati kwandiri, “Iyi ndiyo nzvimbo ichabikirwa navaprista, chipiriso chemhosva nechipiriso chechivi nokubika chipiriso chezviyo, kuti varege kuzviuyisa kuruvazhe rwokunze zvaizoita kuti vanhu vanatswe.”
21 Wasengikhuphela egumeni elingaphandle, wangidlulisa engonsini zozine zeguma; khangela-ke, kuleyo laleyongonsi yeguma kwakulelinye iguma.
Ipapo akandibudisa kuruvazhe rwokunze uye akanditungamirira tichitenderera makona arwo mana, uye akaona pakona imwe neimwe rumwe ruvazhe.
22 Ezingonsini zozine zeguma kwakulamaguma ahlanganisiweyo; ubude babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amane, lobubanzi babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amathathu; lezizingonsi zozine zazilesilinganiso sinye.
Mukati mamakona mana oruvazhe rwokunze makanga muna mavazhe akakomberedzwa, akareba makubhiti makumi mana noupamhi hwaiva namakubhiti makumi matatu; ruvazhe rumwe norumwe mumakona mana aya rwakanga rwakaenzana.
23 Njalo kwakulomzila wesakhiwo inhlangothi zonke kuzo, inhlangothi zonke zozine, njalo kwenziwe amaziko okubilisa ngaphansi kwemizila yesakhiwo inhlangothi zonke.
Kupoteredza mukati merimwe nerimwe ramavazhe mana aya makanga mune chidziro chamabwe, nenzvimbo dzechoto dzakavakwa dzakakomberedza pasi pechidziro.
24 Wasesithi kimi: Lezi yizindlu zokuphekela, lapho abakhonzi bendlu abazaphekela khona umhlatshelo wabantu.
Iye akati kwandiri, “Idzi ndidzo dzimba dzokubikira dzichabikirwa zvibayiro zvinoitirwa vanhu navaya vanoshumira mutemberi.”
