Ezekieri 3
1 Akati kwandiri, “Mwanakomana womunhu, idya zviri pamberi pako, idya rugwaro urwu, zvino ugoenda undotaura neimba yaIsraeri.”
He said to me, "Son of man, eat that which you find. Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel."
2 Saka ndakashama muromo wangu, iye akandipa rugwaro kuti ndidye.
So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the scroll.
3 Ipapo akati kwandiri, “Mwanakomana womunhu, idya zviri pamberi pako, idya rugwaro urwu rwandinokupa uzadze dumbu rako narwo.” Saka ndakarudya, uye rwaitapira souchi mumukanwa mangu.
He said to me, "Son of man, cause your belly to eat, and fill your belly with this scroll that I give you." Then I ate it; and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
4 Ipapo akati kwandiri, “Mwanakomana womunhu, chienda zvino kuimba yaIsraeri undotaura mashoko angu kwavari.
He said to me, "Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them.
5 Hausi kutumwa kuvanhu vane mutauro usinganzwisisiki uye norurimi runogozha, asi kuimba yaIsraeri,
For you are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel;
6 kwete kumarudzi mazhinji vane mitauro isinganzwisisiki norurimi rwakagozha, vana mashoko ausingagoni kunzwisisa. Zvirokwazvo dai ndakanga ndakutuma kwavari, vangadai vakakunzwa.
not to many peoples of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words you can not understand. Surely, if I sent you to them, they would listen to you.
7 Asi imba yaIsraeri haidi kukuteerera nokuti haidi kunditeerera, nokuti imba yose yaIsraeri yakaomeswa mwoyo uye yakavangarara.
But the house of Israel will not listen to you; for they will not listen to me: for all the house of Israel are obstinate and hard-hearted.
8 Tarira ndichaomesa chiso chako sezvakaita zviso zvavo.
Look, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your forehead hard against their foreheads.
9 Ndichaomesa huma yako sebwe rakaomesesa, rakaoma kupfuura romusarasara. Usavatya kana kuvhunduswa navo, kunyange vari imba inomukira.”
As an adamant harder than flint have I made your forehead. Do not be afraid of them, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house."
10 Zvino akati kwandiri, “Mwanakomana womunhu, nditeererese uye uise mashoko ose andinotaura mumwoyo mako.
Moreover he said to me, "Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to you receive in your heart, and hear with your ears.
11 Chienda zvino kuvanhu venyika yako vari muutapwa undotaura kwavari. Uti kwavari, ‘Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha,’ kunyange vakateerera kana vakaramba kuteerera.”
And go to the exiles, to the children of your people, and speak to them, and tell them, 'Thus says the LORD'; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
12 Ipapo mweya wakandisimudza, ndikanzwa shure kwangu inzwi rokuunga kukuru richiti, “Kubwinya kwaJehovha ngakurumbidzwe munzvimbo yaanogara!”
Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing, saying, "Blessed be the glory of the LORD from his place."
13 Uye ndakanzwa mubvumo wamapapiro ezvisikwa zvipenyu aigunzvana uye nomubvumo wamavhiri parutivi rwazvo, achirira zvikuru.
I heard the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even the noise of a great rushing.
14 Ipapo Mweya wakandisimudza ukandiendesa kure uye ndakaenda ndine shungu ndakatsamwa pamweya wangu, uye ruoko rune simba rwaJehovha rwuri pamusoro pangu.
So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away; and I went in bitterness, in the anger of my spirit; and the hand of the LORD was strong on me.
15 Ndakasvika kuna vakatapwa vaigara kuTera Abhibhi pedyo noRwizi rweKebhari. Zvino ipapo pavaigara, ndakagara pakati pavo kwamazuva manomwe, ndichishayiwa mashoko.
Then I came to them of the exiles at Tel Aviv, that lived by the river Chebar, and to where they lived; and I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days.
16 Shure kwokupera kwamazuva manomwe, shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti,
It happened at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
17 “Mwanakomana womunhu, ndakakuita nharirire yeimba yaIsraeri; saka chinzwa shoko randinotaura uye uvayambire neyambiro inobva kwandiri.
"Son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore hear the word from my mouth, and give them warning from me.
18 Kana ndikati kumunhu akaipa, ‘Uchafa zvirokwazvo,’ iwe ukasamuyambira kana kutaura uchimunyevera panzira dzake dzakaipa kuti uponese mweya wake, munhu uye akaipa achafa nokuda kwechivi chake, asi ropa rake ndicharibvunza pamusoro pako.
When I tell the wicked, 'You shall surely die'; and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
19 Asi kana iwe ukamuyambira asi iye akaramba kutendeuka pazvakaipa zvake kana panzira dzake dzakaipa, iye achafa nokuda kwechivi chake, asi iwe uchange wazviponesa.
Yet if you warn the wicked, and he doesn't turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.
20 “Zvakare, kana munhu akarurama akatsauka pakururama kwake uye akaita zvakaipa, ini ndikaisa chigumbuso pamberi pake, achafa. Sezvo usina kumuyambira, iye achafa nokuda kwechivi chake. Zvakarurama zvaakaita hazvizorangarirwi, uye iwe uchava nemhosva yeropa rake.
"Again, when a righteous man does turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die: because you have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at your hand.
21 Asi kana ukanyevera munhu akarurama uyu kuti arege kutadza uye akarega kutadza zvirokwazvo achararama nokuti akanzwa kunyeverwa, iwe uchange wazviponesa.”
Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and you have delivered your soul."
22 Ruoko rwaJehovha rwakanga rwuri pamusoro pangu ipapo, uye akati kwandiri, “Simuka uende kubani uye ndichataura newe ikoko.”
The hand of the LORD was there on me; and he said to me, "Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with you."
23 Saka ndakasimuka ndikaenda kubani. Uye kubwinya kwaJehovha kwakanga kumire ipapo, kwakaita sokubwinya kwandakamboona paRwizi rweKebhari, ndikawira pasi nechiso changu.
Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and look, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.
24 Ipapo Mweya wakapinda mandiri ukandisimudza netsoka dzangu. Akataura kwandiri akati, “Enda undozvipfigira mumba mako.
Then the Spirit entered into me, and set me on my feet; and he spoke with me, and said to me, "Go, shut yourself inside your house.
25 Zvino iwe, mwanakomana womunhu, vachakusunga netambo; uchasungwa zvokuti haungabudi uchienda kuvanhu.
But you, son of man, look, they shall lay bands on you, and shall bind you with them, and you shall not go out among them:
26 Ndichaita kuti rurimi rwako runamire kumusoro kwomuromo wako kuitira kuti unyarare ukonewe kuvatsiura, kunyange vari imba yokumukira.
and I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, that you shall be mute, and shall not be to them a reprover; for they are a rebellious house.
27 Asi pandinotaura newe, ndichazarura muromo wako uye uchati kwavari, ‘Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha.’ Ani naani anonzwa ngaanzwe, uye ani naani anoramba ngaarambe hake; nokuti ivo imba yokumukira.
But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall tell them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD': He who hears, let him hear; and he who forbears, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.
