Ezekieri 3
1 Akati kwandiri, “Mwanakomana womunhu, idya zviri pamberi pako, idya rugwaro urwu, zvino ugoenda undotaura neimba yaIsraeri.”
And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, that which thou findest eat, eat this roll, and go, speak unto the house of Israel.'
2 Saka ndakashama muromo wangu, iye akandipa rugwaro kuti ndidye.
And I open my mouth, and He causeth me to eat this roll.
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.
And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, thy belly thou dost feed, and thy bowels thou dost fill with this roll that I am giving unto thee;' and I eat it, and it is in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
4 Ipapo akati kwandiri, “Mwanakomana womunhu, chienda zvino kuimba yaIsraeri undotaura mashoko angu kwavari.
And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, go, enter in unto the house of Israel, and thou hast spoken with My words unto them.
5 Hausi kutumwa kuvanhu vane mutauro usinganzwisisiki uye norurimi runogozha, asi kuimba yaIsraeri,
For, not unto a people deep of lip and heavy of tongue [art] thou sent — unto 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 unto many peoples, deep of lip and heavy of tongue, whose words thou dost not understand. If I had not sent thee unto them — they, they do hearken unto thee,
7 Asi imba yaIsraeri haidi kukuteerera nokuti haidi kunditeerera, nokuti imba yose yaIsraeri yakaomeswa mwoyo uye yakavangarara.
but the house of Israel are not willing to hearken unto thee, for they are not willing to hearken unto Me, for all the house of Israel are brazen-faced and strong-hearted.
8 Tarira ndichaomesa chiso chako sezvakaita zviso zvavo.
'Lo, I have made thy face strong against their face, and thy forehead strong against their forehead.
9 Ndichaomesa huma yako sebwe rakaomesesa, rakaoma kupfuura romusarasara. Usavatya kana kuvhunduswa navo, kunyange vari imba inomukira.”
As an adamant harder than a rock I have made thy forehead; thou dost not fear them, nor art thou affrighted before them, for a rebellious house [are] they.'
10 Zvino akati kwandiri, “Mwanakomana womunhu, nditeererese uye uise mashoko ose andinotaura mumwoyo mako.
And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, all My words, that I speak unto thee, receive with thy heart, and with thine ears hear;
11 Chienda zvino kuvanhu venyika yako vari muutapwa undotaura kwavari. Uti kwavari, ‘Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha,’ kunyange vakateerera kana vakaramba kuteerera.”
and go, enter in unto the Removed, unto the sons of thy people, and thou hast spoken unto them, and hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: whether they hear, or whether they forbear.'
12 Ipapo mweya wakandisimudza, ndikanzwa shure kwangu inzwi rokuunga kukuru richiti, “Kubwinya kwaJehovha ngakurumbidzwe munzvimbo yaanogara!”
And lift me up doth a spirit, and I hear behind me a noise, a great rushing — 'Blessed [is] the honour of Jehovah from His place!' —
13 Uye ndakanzwa mubvumo wamapapiro ezvisikwa zvipenyu aigunzvana uye nomubvumo wamavhiri parutivi rwazvo, achirira zvikuru.
even a noise of the wings of the living creatures touching one another, and a noise of the wheels over-against them, even a 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.
And a spirit hath lifted me up, and doth take me away, and I go bitterly, in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of Jehovah on me [is] strong.
15 Ndakasvika kuna vakatapwa vaigara kuTera Abhibhi pedyo noRwizi rweKebhari. Zvino ipapo pavaigara, ndakagara pakati pavo kwamazuva manomwe, ndichishayiwa mashoko.
And I come in unto the Removed, at Tel-Ahib, who are dwelling at the river Chebar, and where they are dwelling I also dwell seven days, causing astonishment in their midst.
16 Shure kwokupera kwamazuva manomwe, shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri richiti,
And it cometh to pass, at the end of seven days,
17 “Mwanakomana womunhu, ndakakuita nharirire yeimba yaIsraeri; saka chinzwa shoko randinotaura uye uvayambire neyambiro inobva kwandiri.
that there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 'Son of man, a watchman I have given thee to the house of Israel, and thou hast heard from My mouth a word, and hast warned them 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.
In My saying to the wicked: Thou dost surely die; and thou hast not warned him, nor hast spoken to warn the wicked from his wicked way, so that he doth live; he — the wicked — in his iniquity dieth, and his blood from thy hand I require.
19 Asi kana iwe ukamuyambira asi iye akaramba kutendeuka pazvakaipa zvake kana panzira dzake dzakaipa, iye achafa nokuda kwechivi chake, asi iwe uchange wazviponesa.
And thou, because thou hast warned the wicked, and he hath not turned back from his wickedness, and from his wicked way, he in his iniquity dieth, and thou thy soul hast delivered.
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.
'And in the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, and he hath done perversity, and I have put a stumbling-block before him, he dieth; because thou hast not warned him, in his sin he dieth, and not remembered is his righteousness that he hath done, and his blood from thy hand I require.
21 Asi kana ukanyevera munhu akarurama uyu kuti arege kutadza uye akarega kutadza zvirokwazvo achararama nokuti akanzwa kunyeverwa, iwe uchange wazviponesa.”
And thou, because thou hast warned him — the righteous — that the righteous sin not, and he hath not sinned, he surely liveth, because he hath been warned; and thou thy soul hast delivered.'
22 Ruoko rwaJehovha rwakanga rwuri pamusoro pangu ipapo, uye akati kwandiri, “Simuka uende kubani uye ndichataura newe ikoko.”
And there is on me there a hand of Jehovah, and He saith to me, 'Rise, go forth to the valley, and there I do speak with thee.'
23 Saka ndakasimuka ndikaenda kubani. Uye kubwinya kwaJehovha kwakanga kumire ipapo, kwakaita sokubwinya kwandakamboona paRwizi rweKebhari, ndikawira pasi nechiso changu.
And I rise and go forth unto the valley, and lo, there the honour of Jehovah is standing as the honour that I had seen by the river Chebar, and I fall on my face.
24 Ipapo Mweya wakapinda mandiri ukandisimudza netsoka dzangu. Akataura kwandiri akati, “Enda undozvipfigira mumba mako.
And come into me doth a spirit, and causeth me to stand on my feet, and He speaketh with me, and saith unto me, 'Go in, be shut up in the midst of thy house.
25 Zvino iwe, mwanakomana womunhu, vachakusunga netambo; uchasungwa zvokuti haungabudi uchienda kuvanhu.
'And thou, son of man, lo, they have put on thee thick bands, and have bound thee with them, and thou goest not forth in their midst;
26 Ndichaita kuti rurimi rwako runamire kumusoro kwomuromo wako kuitira kuti unyarare ukonewe kuvatsiura, kunyange vari imba yokumukira.
and thy tongue I cause to cleave unto thy palate, and thou hast been dumb, and art not to them for a reprover, for a rebellious house [are] they.
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.
And in My speaking with thee, I do open thy mouth, and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah; the hearer doth hear, and the forbearer doth forbear; for a rebellious house [are] they.
