Hesekiel 12
1 Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se,
Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
2 “Onipa ba, wote nnipa a wɔtew atua mu. Wɔwɔ ani nanso wonhu ade, wɔwɔ aso nanso wɔnte asɛm, efisɛ wɔyɛ nnipa atuatewfo.
“Ndodana yomuntu, uhlala phakathi kwabantu abahlamukayo. Balamehlo ukuba babone kodwa kababoni, njalo balendlebe ukuba bezwe kodwa kabezwa, ngoba bangabantu abahlamukayo.
3 “Enti onipa ba, boaboa wo nneɛma ano ma asutwa, na adekyee mu a wɔrewɛn no, fi nea wowɔ, na kɔ beae foforo. Ebia wɔbɛte ase, ɛwɔ mu sɛ wɔyɛ atuatewfo.
Ngakho-ke ndodana yomuntu, lungisa impahla zakho zasekuthunjweni njalo kuthi emini, bekhangele, uphume usuke lapho okhona uye kwenye indawo. Mhlawumbe bazazwisisa, lanxa beyindlu ehlamukayo.
4 Adekyee mu a wɔrewɛn no, fa wo nneɛma a woaboa ano ama asutwa no pue. Afei anwummere a wɔrewɛn no, fi adi sɛnea wɔn a wotwa wɔn asu yɛ no.
Ngezikhathi zemini, bekhangele, khuphela impahla zakho phandle zilungiselwe ukuya ekuthunjweni. Kuthi kusihlwa, bekhangele, uphume njengabaya ekuthunjweni.
5 Bere a wɔrewɛn no, tu ɔfasu no mu tokuru na yi wo nneɛma no fa mu.
Bekhangele, bhoboza umduli ukhuphele impahla zakho ngaphandle kwawo.
6 Fa to wo mmati so, bere a wɔrewɛn, na afei anim biribiri a, soa kɔ. Kata wʼanim sɛnea wunhu asase no, efisɛ mede wo ayɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne ama Israelfi.”
Zetshathe ehlombe bekhangele uhambe lazo kusihlwa. Mboza ubuso bakho ukuze ilizwe ungaliboni, ngoba sengikwenze waba luphawu endlini ka-Israyeli.”
7 Enti meyɛɛ sɛnea wɔhyɛɛ me no. Adekyee mu no, mede me nneɛma a maboa ano ama asutwa no puei. Anwummere no, mede me nsa tuu tokuru wɔ ɔfasu no mu, na anim biribirii no, miyii me nneɛma no soaa wɔ me mmati so a wɔrehwɛ.
Ngakho ngenza njengokulaywa kwami. Ngezikhathi zemini ngakhupha impahla zami zilungiselwe ukuya ekuthunjweni. Kusihlwa ngabhoboza umduli ngezandla zami. Impahla zami ngazikhuphela ngaphandle kuhwalala, ngizetshethe emahlombe ami bekhangele.
8 Adekyee no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se,
Ekuseni ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
9 “Onipa ba, saa Israelfi atuatewfo no ammisa wo se, ‘Dɛn na woreyɛ yi?’
“Ndodana yomuntu, indlu leyana ehlamukayo yako-Israyeli kayikubuzanga na yathi, ‘Wenzani na?’
10 “Ka kyerɛ wɔn se, sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Saa nkɔmhyɛ yi fa ɔhene babarima a ɔwɔ Yerusalem ne Israelfi a wɔwɔ hɔ nyinaa ho.
Wothi kubo, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Izilo leli limayelana lenkosana eJerusalema kanye lendlu yonke ka-Israyeli ekhonale.’
11 Ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Meyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne ma mo.’ “Sɛnea mayɛ no, saa ara na wɔbɛyɛ wɔn. Wobetwa wɔn asu akɔ nnommum mu.
Wothi kubo, ‘Ngiluphawu lwesitshengiselo kini.’ Njengoba ngenzile, kuzakwenziwa kanjalo kubo. Bazakuya ekuthunjweni beyizigqili.”
12 “Ɔhene ba a ɔwɔ wɔn mu no de nʼadesoa bɛto ne mmati so bere a anim rebiribiri na wafi hɔ, na wobetu tokuru wɔ ɔfasu no mu ama wafa mu. Ɔbɛkata nʼanim sɛnea ɔrenhu faako a ɔrekɔ.
Oyinkosana phakathi kwabo uzakwetshatha impahla zakhe kuhwalala asuke, njalo imbobo izakwenziwa emdulini ukuba aphume ngayo. Uzamboza ubuso bakhe ukuze ilizwe angaliboni.
13 Mɛtrɛw mʼasau mu agu ne so na makyere no wɔ mʼafiri mu; mede no bɛkɔ Babilonia Kaldeafo asase so, nanso ɔrenhu na hɔ na obewu.
Ngizamendlalela imbule lami, njalo uzabanjwa yisifu sami; ngizamusa eBhabhiloniya ilizwe lamaKhaladiya, kodwa kasoze alibone, njalo uzafela khona.
14 Mɛhwete wɔn a wɔatwa ne ho ahyia nyinaa akɔ mmaa nyinaa; nʼadwumayɛfo ne nʼasraafo nyinaa, na mede afoa ataa wɔn.
Ngizabahlakazela emimoyeni bonke labo abamhanqileyo, izisebenzi zakhe kanye lamabutho akhe wonke njalo ngizaxotshana labo ngiphethe inkemba.
15 “Bere a mahwete wɔn akɔ amanaman so, na mahwete wɔn agu nsase so no, wobehu sɛ me ne Awurade no.
“Bazakwazi ukuthi nginguThixo lapho sengibachithachithela phakathi kwezizwe njalo ngibahlakazela emazweni.
16 Nanso mɛma wɔn mu kakra anya wɔn ti adidi mu wɔ ɔkɔm, ɔyaredɔm ne afoa ano, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔn ani bɛba wɔn akyiwade ahorow no so wɔ aman a wɔbɛkɔ so no mu. Afei wobehu sɛ me ne Awurade no.”
Kodwa ngizaphephisa abalutshwana babo ekuhlaselweni yinkemba, indlala kanye lesifo, ukuze kuthi ezizweni abaya kuzo bazivume zonke izenzo zabo ezinengayo. Lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi nginguThixo.”
17 Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se,
Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
18 “Onipa ba, sɛ woredidi a ma wo ho nwosow, na fa hu nom wo nsu.
“Ndodana yomuntu, qhaqhazela nxa unatha amanzi akho.
19 Ka kyerɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so no se, ‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade ka fa wɔn a wɔte Yerusalem ne Israel asase so no ho: Wɔde ahopere bedidi na wɔde abasamtu anom nsu, efisɛ wɔbɛsɛe asase no so nneɛma nyinaa, esiane wɔn a wɔtete so no akakabensɛm nti.
Yitsho ebantwini belizwe uthi: ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi mayelana lalabo abahlala eJerusalema kanye laselizweni lako-Israyeli: Bazakudla ukudla kwabo benqineka njalo banathe lamanzi abo bengelathemba, ngoba ilizwe lizaphundlwa konke okukulo ngenxa yodlakela lwabo bonke abahlala khona.
20 Wɔbɛsɛe nkurow a nnipa tete so no nyinaa na asase no bɛda mpan. Afei wubehu sɛ mene Awurade no.’”
Amadolobho okuhlalwa kuwo azaqothulwa ilizwe lichitheke. Lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi nginguThixo.’”
21 Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se,
Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
22 “Onipa ba, bɛ a mowɔ wɔ Israel a ese, ‘Nna no twa mu nanso Israel anisoadehu biara mma mu,’ yi ase ne dɛn?
“Ndodana yomuntu, yisaga bani lesi na elilaso elizweni lako-Israyeli esithi: ‘Insuku ziyedlula njalo imibono yonke iba yize’?
23 Ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Merebɛma bɛ yi aso ha ara, na wɔrenka wɔ Israel bio.’ Ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Nna a anisoadehu biara bɛba mu no abɛn.
Wothi kubo, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Ngizasiqeda isaga lesi, njalo kabayikusitsho futhi ko-Israyeli.’ Wothi kubo, ‘Insuku sezisondele lapho imibono yonke izagcwaliseka khona.
24 Na atoro anisoadehu ne nnaadaa abisa wɔ Israelfo mu no to betwa.
Ngoba akusayikuba lemibono yamanga futhi kumbe ubungoma benkohliso ko-Israyeli.
25 Nanso me Awurade, mɛka nea ɛsɛ sɛ meka na ɛrenkyɛ na ɛbɛba mu. Na mo atuatewfo, mo bere so na mɛma nea maka biara no aba mu. Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se.’”
Kodwa mina Thixo ngizakhuluma engikufunayo, njalo kuzagcwaliseka ngokuphangisa. Ngoba ensukwini zakho, wena ndlu ehlamukayo ngizagcwalisa loba kuyini engikutshoyo, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.’”
26 Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se,
Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi:
27 “Onipa ba, Israelfi reka se, ‘Anisoade a ohu no bɛba mu mfe bebree akyi, na nneɛma a ɛwɔ daakye akyirikyiri ho nkɔm na ɔhyɛ.’
“Ndodana yomuntu, indlu ka-Israyeli ithi, ‘Umbono awubonayo ngoweminyaka eminengi kusukela khathesi, njalo uphrofetha ngesikhathi esizayo esikhatshana kakhulu.’
28 “Ɛno nti ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Sɛɛ na Otumfo Awurade se: Merentwe me nsɛm nkɔ kyi bio, nea meka biara bɛba mu, Otumfo Awurade na ose.’”
Ngakho wothi kubo, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Akukho lalinye ilizwi lamazwi ami elizaphuza; loba kuyini engikutshoyo kuzagcwaliseka, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.’”
