ʻIsikieli 1
1 Ko eni, ʻi heʻene hoko ki hono tolungofulu ʻoe taʻu, mo hono fā ʻoe māhina, pea ʻi hono nima ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina ʻo ʻeku ʻi he kakai pōpula ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ʻo Kipa, naʻe fakaava ʻae ngaahi langi pea naʻaku mamata ki he ngaahi meʻa hā mai mei he ʻOtua.
Kwasekusithi-ke ngomnyaka wamatshumi amathathu, ngenyanga yesine, ngolwesihlanu lwenyanga, lapho ngangiphakathi kwabathunjiweyo ngasemfuleni iKebari, avuleka amazulu, ngasengibona imibono kaNkulunkulu.
2 ʻI hono nima ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina ʻi hono nima taʻu ʻoe fakapōpulaʻi ʻae tuʻi ko Sihoiakimi.
Ngolwesihlanu lwenyanga, okungumnyaka wesihlanu wokuthunjwa kwenkosi uJehoyakhini,
3 Naʻe hoko totonu mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia ʻIsikieli ko e taulaʻeiki, ko e foha ʻo Posi, ʻi he fonua, ʻoe kau Kalitia, ʻi he potu vaitafe ko Kipa; pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae nima ʻo Sihova ʻi ai.
ilizwi leNkosi leza liqonde kuHezekeli, indodana kaBuzi, umpristi, elizweni lamaKhaladiya ngasemfuleni iKebari; lesandla seNkosi saba phezu kwakhe lapho.
4 Pea naʻaku sio, pea vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻae ʻahiohio mei he tokelau ko e fuʻu ʻao lahi, mo e afi naʻe femamioʻaki, pea naʻe takatakai ia ʻe he maama, pea kikila mai mei hono potu ʻi loto ʻo hangē ko e ʻamipa, mei he loto afi.
Ngasengibona, khangela-ke, umoya wesivunguzane wavela enyakatho, iyezi elikhulu, lomlilo ozimumetheyo, lokucwazimula inhlangothi zonke zalo, laphakathi kwalo kwavela kwangathi libala lethusi, livela phakathi komlilo.
5 Pea naʻe haʻu foki mei he loto meʻa ʻae tatau ʻoe meʻa moʻui ʻe fā. Pea ko e anga eni ʻo ʻenau hā mai. Naʻa nau mata tatau mo e tangata.
Laphakathi kwalo kwavela umfanekiso wezidalwa ezine eziphilayo. Lalokhu kwakuyisimo sazo: Zazilomfanekiso womuntu.
6 Pea naʻa nau taki taha ʻae mata ʻe fā, pea nau taki taha ʻae kapakau ʻe fā.
Njalo yileso laleso sasilobuso obune, njalo yileso laleso sazo sasilempiko ezine.
7 Pea ko honau vaʻe ko e vaʻe totonu: pea tatau ʻa honau ʻaofivaʻe mo e ʻaofivaʻe ʻoe ʻuhikiʻi pulu: pea naʻe ulo ʻo hangē ko e ulo ʻoe palasa kuo fakangingila.
Lenyawo zazo zazizinyawo eziqondileyo, lengaphansi yezinyawo zazo yayinjengengaphansi yonyawo lwethole, zacwazimula njengombala wethusi elilolongiweyo.
8 Pea naʻa nau nima ʻo hangē ko e tangata ʻi honau lalo kapakau ʻi honau potu ʻe fā; pea naʻe ʻi honau potu ʻe fā ʻae mata mo e kapakau.
Njalo kwakulezandla zomuntu ngaphansi kwempiko zazo enhlangothini zazo zozine. Njalo zozine zazilobuso bazo lempiko zazo.
9 Naʻe feuutaki honau kapakau; pea naʻe ʻikai fetafokiʻaki ʻenau ʻalu; ka naʻe taki taha ʻalu fakahangatonu atu.
Impiko zazo zazihlangene olunye kolunye; aziphendukanga ekuhambeni kwazo; zahamba, yileso laleso siqonde phambili.
10 Pea ko e meʻa ki honau mata, naʻe maʻu ʻe he toko fā ni ʻae mata ʻoe tangata, mo e mata ʻoe laione ki he toʻomataʻu: pea maʻu ʻe he toko fā ni ʻae mata ʻoe pulu ki he toʻohema, pea maʻu foki ʻe he toko fā ni ʻae mata ʻoe ʻikale.
Njalo umfanekiso wobuso bazo wawuyibuso bomuntu, njalo zozine zazilobuso besilwane ngakwesokunene; njalo zozine zazilobuso benkabi ngakwesokhohlo; futhi zozine zazilobuso belinqe.
11 Naʻe pehē ʻae anga ʻo honau mata: pea naʻe mafola honau kapakau ki ʻolunga; naʻe taki taha hono kapakau ʻe ua naʻe fepikitaki, pea ko e ua naʻe ʻufiʻufi ʻaki honau sino.
Babunjalo ubuso bazo; lempiko zazo zazehlukene ngaphezulu; yileso laleso sasilezimbili zihlanganisiwe kolunye, lezimbili zigubuzele imizimba yazo.
12 Pea naʻe taki taha ʻalu fakahangatonu atu pe: ko ia ne ʻalu ki ai ʻae laumālie, ko ia ia naʻa nau ʻalu ki ai, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau tafoki ʻi heʻenau ʻalu.
Zahamba yileso laleso siqonde phambili; zaya lapho umoya owaya khona, zingaphenduki ekuhambeni kwazo.
13 Pea ko e tatau ʻoe meʻa moʻui ʻe fā, naʻe hangē ko e ulo ʻae fefie ʻi he afi, pea ko e ulo ʻae tuʻunga maama naʻe ʻalu hake ia mo ʻalu hifo ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa moʻui; pea naʻe ulo lahi ʻae afi pea ʻasi mai ʻae ʻuhila mei he afi.
Mayelana lomfanekiso wezidalwa eziphilayo, ukubonakala kwazo kwakunjengamalahle omlilo avuthayo, njengokubonakala kwezibane; kwahamba kusiya le lale phakathi kwezidalwa eziphilayo; njalo umlilo wawulokukhazimula, njalo emlilweni kwakuphuma umbane.
14 Pea naʻe lele mo toe foki mai ʻae ngaahi meʻa moʻui ʻo hangē ko e ulo ʻoe ʻuhila.
Lezidalwa eziphilayo zagijima zaphenduka njengokubonakala kokuphazima kombane.
15 Pea ko eni, lolotonga ʻeku sio ki he ngaahi meʻa moʻui, vakai, ko e teka ʻe taha naʻe tuʻu ki he kelekele ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻoe ngaahi meʻa moʻui, pea mo hono mata ʻe fā.
Ngathi ngikhangela izidalwa eziphilayo, khangela-ke, ivili elilodwa lalisemhlabeni eceleni kwezidalwa eziphilayo, ebusweni baso obune.
16 Pea ko e anga ʻoe ngaahi teka mo hono ngaohi naʻe hangē ko e lanu ʻoe pelili: pea naʻe tatau ʻae meʻa ni ʻe fā: pea naʻe hā mai hono ngaohi naʻe hangē kuo ʻai ʻae teka ʻe taha ʻi he loto teka ʻe taha.
Ukubonakala kwamavili lomsebenzi wawo kwakufanana lombala webherule; njalo zozine zazilesimo sinye; lokubonakala kwazo lomsebenzi wazo kwakunjengokuthi livili phakathi kwevili.
17 ʻI heʻenau ʻalu naʻa nau ʻalu ʻi honau tafaʻaki ʻe fā: pea naʻe ʻikai ke tafoki ʻi heʻenau ʻalu.
Ekuhambeni kwawo ahamba ngezinhlangothi zawo zozine; kawaphendukanga ekuhambeni kwawo.
18 Pea ko honau ngaahi meʻa tākai naʻe fakaʻulia ko e meʻa ʻi hono māʻolunga lahi; pea naʻe pito ʻa honau meʻa tākai ʻi he mata ʻo takatakai ʻi he meʻa ni ʻe fā.
Mayelana lamarimu awo, ayephakeme kangangokuthi ayesesabeka; njalo amarimu awo ayegcwele amehlo inhlangothi zonke zawo zozine.
19 ʻI heʻene ʻalu ʻae ngaahi meʻa moʻui, naʻe ʻalu ai pe mo e ngaahi teka, pea ka hiki hake ʻae ngaahi meʻa moʻui mei he kelekele, naʻe hiki ai pe mo e ngaahi teka.
Ekuhambeni kwezidalwa eziphilayo amavili ahamba eceleni kwazo; lekuphakanyisweni kwezidalwa eziphilayo emhlabeni lamavili aphakanyiswa.
20 Ko e potu kotoa pē naʻe ʻalu ki ai ʻae laumālie, naʻa nau ʻalu ai, ko ia ia ʻe ʻalu ki ai honau laumālie; pea naʻe hiki hake ʻo fakahangatonu mai ʻae ngaahi teka kiate kinautolu: he ko e laumālie ʻoe meʻa moʻui naʻe ʻi he ngaahi teka.
Lapho umoya owawusiya khona zaya khona, kulapho umoya owawuzakuya khona; lamavili aphakanyiswa eqondene lawo; ngoba umoya wezidalwa eziphilayo wawusemavilini.
21 ʻI heʻene ʻalu ʻena, naʻe ʻalu eni; pea ʻi heʻene tuʻumaʻu ʻena, naʻe tuʻu eni; pea ʻi heʻene hiki hake ʻena mei he kelekele, naʻe hiki hake ai ʻae ngaahi teka ʻo fakahangatonu mai kiate kinautolu: he naʻe ʻi he ngaahi teka ʻae laumālie ʻoe meʻa moʻui.
Lapho lezi zihamba, lawo ahamba; lalapho lezi zisima, lawo ema; lalapho lezi ziphakanyiswa emhlabeni, amavili aphakanyiswa eqondene lazo; ngoba umoya wezidalwa eziphilayo wawusemavilini.
22 Pea naʻe tatau hono fakamalumalu mei ʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi meʻa moʻui, mo e lanu ʻoe kalisitala fakamanavahē, ʻoku mafola atu ki ʻolunga ʻi honau ʻulu.
Njalo isimo somkhathi ngaphezu kwamakhanda ezidalwa eziphilayo sasinjengombala wekristali elesabekayo, seluliwe phezu kwamakhanda azo ngaphezulu.
23 Pea naʻe mafola totonu hake ʻi lalo ʻi hono fakamalumalu ʻa honau kapakau, pea ne fepikitaki ia: naʻe taki taha honau kapakau ʻe ua naʻe ʻufiʻufi ʻaki honau sino ʻi he tafaʻaki ko eni, pea mo e ua naʻe ʻufiʻufi ʻaki mei hena.
Langaphansi komkhathi impiko zazo zaziqondile, olunye lusiya kolunye; yileso laleso silezimbili ezembese imizimba yazo ngapha, njalo yileso laleso silezimbili ezembese ngaphayana.
24 Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu naʻaku fanongo ki he longoaʻa ʻo honau kapakau, naʻe hangē ko e ʻuʻulu ʻoe ngaahi vai lahi, hangē ko e leʻo ʻoe māfimafi, mo e ongo mai ʻae lea, mo e longoaʻa ʻo ha fuʻu tokolahi: pea ʻi heʻenau tuʻu naʻa nau fāū honau kapakau.
Lekuhambeni kwazo ngezwa umsindo wempiko zazo unjengomsindo wamanzi amanengi, njengelizwi likaSomandla, umsindo wokuhlokoma, njengomsindo wenkamba; lapho zisima zehlisa impiko zazo.
25 Pea ʻi heʻenau tuʻu mo fāū honau kapakau naʻe ongo mai ʻae leʻo mei he langi, ki ʻolunga ʻi honau ʻulu.
Kwasekusiba lelizwi elavela phezu komkhathi ongaphezu kwekhanda lazo lapho sezimi sezehlise impiko zazo.
26 Pea naʻe hā mai ʻae tatau ʻoe nofoʻa fakatuʻi mei ʻolunga ʻi he potu langi naʻe feangai hifo mo honau ʻulu, pea naʻe hangē ia ko e maka ko e safaia, pea hā mai mei he tatau ʻoe nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻae mata ʻo hangē ko e hā mai ʻo ha tangata mei ʻolunga ʻi ai.
Langaphezu komkhathi owawuphezu kwekhanda lazo kwakunjengesimo selitshe lesafire, umfanekiso wesihlalo sobukhosi; langaphezu komfanekiso wesihlalo sobukhosi kwakulomfanekiso onjengokubonakala komuntu phezu kwakho ngaphezulu.
27 Pea naʻaku mamata naʻe lanu tatau ia mo e ʻamipa, pea hangē ko e afi ʻoku takatakai ʻi loto ʻi ai mei he hā mai ʻo hono kongaloto ʻo fai ki ʻolunga, pea mei he hā mai ʻo hono kongaloto ʻo fai ki lalo naʻaku mamata naʻe hangē ko e afi pea naʻe ulo takatakai ʻi ai.
Ngasengibona njengombala wethusi, njengokubonakala komlilo phakathi kwakho inhlangothi zonke, kusukela ekubonakaleni kokhalo lwakhe langaphezulu, njalo kusukela ekubonakaleni kokhalo lwakhe langaphansi, ngabona kunjengokubonakala komlilo, lokukhazimula inhlangothi zakhe zonke.
28 ʻO hangē ko e ʻūmata ʻoku ʻi he ʻao ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe ʻuha, naʻe pehē ʻae ulo takatakai ʻi ai. Ko e hā mai eni ʻae tatau ʻoe nāunau ʻo Sihova. Pea ʻi heʻeku mamata ki ai, naʻaku tōmapeʻe ki hoku mata, pea naʻaku fanongo ki he leʻo ʻo ha taha naʻe lea mai.
Njengokubonakala komchilo wamakhosikazi osemayezini ngosuku lwezulu, kwakunjalo ukubonakala kokukhazimula inhlangothi zonke. Lokhu kwakuyikubonakala kwesimo senkazimulo yeNkosi. Ngathi ngikubona, ngathi mbo ngobuso, ngasengisizwa ilizwi lowakhulumayo.
