< Ezekieri 2 >
1 Akati kwandiri, “Mwanakomana womunhu, simuka netsoka dzako nditaure newe.”
Wasesithi kimi: Ndodana yomuntu, mana ngenyawo zakho, ngikhulume lawe.
2 Akati achitaura, Mweya wakapinda mandiri ukandisimudza netsoka dzangu, ndikamunzwa achitaura neni.
Kwasekungena kimi uMoya lapho ekhuluma kimi, wangimisa ngenyawo zami; ngasengimuzwa okhuluma kimi.
3 Akati, “Mwanakomana womunhu, ndiri kukutuma kuvaIsraeri, kurudzi runomukira irwo rwakandimukira; ivo namadzibaba avo vanga vachingondipandukira kusvikira zuva ranhasi.
Wasesithi kimi: Ndodana yomuntu, ngiyakuthuma ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli, ezizweni ezivukelayo, abangivukeleyo; bona laboyise baphambukile kimi, kuze kube yilolusuku kanye.
4 Vanhu vandinokutuma kwavari, vakavangarara uye vakasindimara. Uti kwavari, ‘Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha.’
Ngoba bangabantwana abalukhuni ngobuso labalukhuni ngenhliziyo; ngikuthuma kubo, njalo uzakuthi kubo: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova.
5 Uye kunyange vakanzwa kana kuti vakaramba kunzwa, nokuti ivo imba inomukira, vachaziva kuti muprofita akanga ari pakati pavo.
Bona-ke, loba bezakuzwa, kumbe loba beyekela (ngoba beyindlu evukelayo), bazakwazi ukuthi ubekhona umprofethi phakathi kwabo.
6 Uye iwe, mwanakomana womunhu, usavatya kana mashoko avo. Usatya, kunyange wakakombwa neminzwa norukato uye ugere pakati pezvinyavada. Usatya zvavanotaura kana kuvhundutswa navo, kunyange vari imba inomukira.
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 Unofanira kutaura mashoko angu kwavari kunyange vakateerera kana kuti vakaramba kuteerera, nokuti ivo vanondimukira.
Kodwa uzakhuluma amazwi ami kubo, loba bezakuzwa kumbe bayekele; ngoba bevukela.
8 Asi iwe, mwanakomana womunhu, teerera zvandinokuudza. Usandimukira sezvinoita imba iyo inondimukira; shama muromo wako udye zvandinokupa.”
Kodwa wena, ndodana yomuntu, zwana engikutshoyo kuwe; ungabi ngovukelayo njengaleyana indlu evukelayo; vula umlomo wakho, udle engikunika khona.
9 Ipapo ndakatarira, ndikaona ruoko rwakatambanudzirwa kwandiri. Marwuri makanga mune gwaro,
Ngasengibona, khangela-ke, isandla sithunyelwe kimi; khangela-ke umqulu wogwalo wawukuso.
10 rakapetenurwa pamberi pangu. Rakanga rakanyorwa kumativi aro ose mashoko okuchema nokuungudza nenhamo.
Wasewendlala phambi kwami, njalo wawubhaliwe phambili langemuva; njalo kwakubhalwe phakathi kwawo izililo, lokukhala, losizi.
