UHezekheli 6
1 Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kimi lisithi:
Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
2 Ndodana yomuntu, khangelisa ubuso bakho ngasezintabeni zakoIsrayeli, uprofethe umelene lazo.
“Ndodana yomuntu, khangelisa ubuso bakho ezintabeni zako-Israyeli; phrofetha ngazo uzisola
3 Uthi: Lina zintaba zakoIsrayeli, zwanini ilizwi leNkosi uJehova. Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova ezintabeni, lemaqaqeni, ezifuleni, lezihotsheni: Khangelani, mina ngizakwehlisela phezu kwenu inkemba, ngichithe indawo zenu eziphakemeyo.
uthi, Lina zintaba zako-Israyeli, zwanini ilizwi likaThixo Wobukhosi. Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi ezintabeni lasemaqaqeni, ezingoxweni lasezigodini ukuthi: Sekuseduze ukuthi ngililethele inkemba yokulihlasela, njalo ngizadiliza izindawo zenu eziphakemeyo.”
4 Lamalathi enu azachithwa, lamalathi enu elanga aphahlazwe, lababuleweyo benu ngibaphosele phansi phambi kwezithombe zenu.
Ama-alithare enu azabhidlizwa kuthi lama-alithare enu empepha aphahlazwe; njalo abantu benu ngizababulalela phambi kwezithombe zenu.
5 Ngibeke izidumbu zabantwana bakoIsrayeli phambi kwezithombe zabo, ngihlakaze amathambo enu inhlangothi zonke zamalathi enu.
Izidumbu zabako-Israyeli ngizazibeka phambi kwezithombe zabo, njalo amathambo enu ngizawahlakaza emaceleni ama-alithare enu.
6 Kuzo zonke indawo zenu zokuhlala imizi izachithwa, lendawo eziphakemeyo zibe ngamanxiwa, ukuze amalathi enu achithwe abe ngamanxiwa, lezithombe zenu ziphahlazwe ziphele, lamalathi enu elanga aqunywe, lemisebenzi yenu itshabalaliswe.
Loba kungaphi elihlala khona amadolobho akhona azadilizwa lezindawo eziphakemeyo zidilizwe, ukuze ama-alithare enu achithwe abhuqwe, kuthi izithombe zenu ziphahlazwe ziqothulwe, ama-alithare enu empepha adilizwe, kuthi elikwenzileyo kutshabalaliswe.
7 Lababuleweyo bazakuwa phakathi kwenu, njalo lizakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.
Abantu benu bazabulawa phakathi kwenu, njalo lizakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.
8 Kodwa ngizatshiya insali ukuze libe labanye abazaphepha inkemba phakathi kwezizwe lapho lizahlakazekela emazweni.
“Kodwa abanye ngizabaphephisa, ngoba abanye benu bazaphunyuka enkembeni lapho selihlakazekele emazweni lasezizweni.
9 Labaphunyukileyo benu bazangikhumbula phakathi kwezizwe lapho abathunjelwe khona; ngoba ngidabukile ngenxa yenhliziyo yabo ephingayo, esukileyo kimi, langamehlo abo aphingayo elandela izithombe zabo. Njalo bazazenyanya ngobubi ababenzileyo kuwo wonke amanyala abo.
Lapho-ke, ezizweni abathunjelwa kuzo, labo abaphunyukayo bazangikhumbula ukuthi ngadabuka njani ngenxa yezinhliziyo zabo ezilobufebe, esezasukayo kimi, langamehlo abo akhanuka izithombe zabo. Bazazenyanya bona ngokwabo ngenxa yobubi ababenzileyo langenxa yezenzo zonke ezenyanyekayo.”
10 Njalo bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi; kangikhulumanga ngeze ukuthi ngizakwenza lokho okubi kubo.
Njalo bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo. Kangisongelanga ize lapho ngathi ngizabehlisela umonakalo lo.
11 Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Tshaya ngesandla sakho, utshaye phansi ngonyawo lwakho, uthi: Maye ngenxa yawo wonke amanyala amabi endlu yakoIsrayeli! ngoba bazakuwa ngenkemba, ngendlala, langomatshayabhuqe wesifo.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi ukuthi: “Tshaya izandla zakho unyathele inyawo zakho ukhale uthi Maye! Ngenxa yobubi bonke lezenzo ezenyanyekayo zendlu ka-Israyeli, bonke bazakufa ngenkemba, langendlala kanye langesifo.”
12 Okhatshana uzakufa ngomatshayabhuqe wesifo, loseduze uzakuwa ngenkemba, loseleyo wavinjezelwa uzakufa yindlala. Ngokunjalo ngizaphelelisa ukufutheka kwami phezu kwabo.
Lowo okhatshana uzakufa ngesifo, kuthi lowo oseduze afe ngenkemba, lalowo osindileyo waphepha uzabulawa yindlala. Ngizaluqeda kanjalo ulaka lwami phezu kwabo.
13 Khona lizakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi, lapho ababuleweyo babo sebephakathi kwezithombe zabo behanqe amalathi abo, phezu kwalo lonke uqaqa olude, ezingqongeni zonke zezintaba, langaphansi kwaso sonke isihlahla esiluhlaza, langaphansi kwalo lonke i-okhi eliqatha, indawo ababenikela khona iphunga elimnandi kuzo zonke izithombe zabo.
Njalo bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo, lapho abantu babo sebelele befile phakathi kwezithombe zabo emaceleni wonke ama-alithare abo, phezu kwamaqaqa wonke aphakemeyo kanye lasezingqongweni zonke zezintaba, ngaphansi kwezihlahla zonke eziluhlaza lemʼokhi yonke elamahlamvu amanengi, izindawo abanikelela kuzo impepha elephunga elimnandi kuzozonke izithombe zabo.
14 Ngokunjalo ngizakwelulela isandla sami phezu kwabo, ngenze ilizwe libe lunxiwa, yebo, libe lunxiwa kulenkangala ngaseDibila, kuzo zonke izindawo zabo zokuhlala. Khona bezakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.
“Njalo ngizakwelulela isandla sami kubo ngenze ilizwe libe lugwadule olungelalutho kusukela enkangala kusiya eDibila lapho abahlala khona. Lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.”
