Hesekiel 12
1 Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se,
Ilizwi leNkosi lafika futhi 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 kwendlu evukelayo, abalamehlo okubona, kodwa bengaboni, balendlebe zokuzwa, kodwa bengezwa; ngoba bayindlu evukelayo.
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, wena ndodana yomuntu, zenzele impahla yokuthunjwa, usuke emini phambi kwamehlo abo, usuke endaweni yakho uye kwenye indawo phambi kwamehlo abo. Mhlawumbe bazabona lanxa beyindlu evukelayo.
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.
Ubusukhupha impahla yakho emini phambi kwamehlo abo njengempahla yokuthunjwa; wena-ke uzaphuma ntambama phambi kwamehlo abo njengabaphuma besiya ekuthunjweni.
5 Bere a wɔrewɛn no, tu ɔfasu no mu tokuru na yi wo nneɛma no fa mu.
Uzibhobozele umduli phambi kwamehlo abo, uyikhuphe kiwo.
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.”
Phambi kwamehlo abo uzayithwala emahlombe, uyikhiphe emnyameni, ugubuzele ubuso bakho ukuze ungaboni umhlabathi; ngoba ngikubeke waba yisibonakaliso kuyo indlu yakoIsrayeli.
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.
Ngasengisenza ngokunjalo njengokulaywa kwami: Ngakhupha impahla yami emini, njengempahla yokuthunjwa; kwathi kusihlwa ngazibhobozela umduli ngesandla, ngayikhupha emnyameni ngayithwala emahlombe phambi kwamehlo abo.
8 Adekyee no, Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se,
Ekuseni ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kimi lisithi:
9 “Onipa ba, saa Israelfi atuatewfo no ammisa wo se, ‘Dɛn na woreyɛ yi?’
Ndodana yomuntu, kayitshongo yini kuwe indlu kaIsrayeli, indlu evukelayo, ukuthi: Wenzani?
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.
Tshono kubo: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Lo umthwalo umayelana lesiphathamandla eJerusalema, layo yonke indlu kaIsrayeli ephakathi kwabo.
11 Ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Meyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne ma mo.’ “Sɛnea mayɛ no, saa ara na wɔbɛyɛ wɔn. Wobetwa wɔn asu akɔ nnommum mu.
Wothi: Ngiyisibonakaliso senu; njengoba ngenzile, kuzakwenziwa njalo kubo, bazakuya ekuthunjweni ngokuthunjwa.
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.
Njalo isiphathamandla esiphakathi kwabo sizayithwala emahlombe emnyameni, siphume; bazabhoboza umduli ukuze bakhuphe ngawo; sizagubuzela ubuso baso, ukuze singaboni umhlabathi ngamehlo.
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.
Njalo ngizakwendlala imbule lami phezu kwaso, ukuthi sibanjwe emgibeni wami; ngisilethe eBhabhiloni, ilizwe lamaKhaladiya; kanti kasiyikulibona, loba sizafela khona.
14 Mɛhwete wɔn a wɔatwa ne ho ahyia nyinaa akɔ mmaa nyinaa; nʼadwumayɛfo ne nʼasraafo nyinaa, na mede afoa ataa wɔn.
Labo bonke abasihanqileyo ukuba lusizo lwaso lalo lonke ibutho laso ngizabahlakazela kuwo wonke umoya; ngihwatshe inkemba emva kwabo.
15 “Bere a mahwete wɔn akɔ amanaman so, na mahwete wɔn agu nsase so no, wobehu sɛ me ne Awurade no.
Khona bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi nxa ngibahlakazela ezizweni, ngibachithachithela 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 ngizatshiya amadoda amalutshwana kubo asuke enkembeni, endlaleni, lakumatshayabhuqe wesifo, ukuze balandise ngawo wonke amanyala abo phakathi kwezizwe abazafika kizo; njalo bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.
17 Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se,
Ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi futhi lisithi:
18 “Onipa ba, sɛ woredidi a ma wo ho nwosow, na fa hu nom wo nsu.
Ndodana yomuntu, dlana isinkwa sakho ngokuqhaqhazela, unathe amanzi akho ngokuthuthumela langokukhathazeka.
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.
Ubususithi ebantwini belizwe: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova ngabahlali beJerusalema, ngelizwe lakoIsrayeli: Bazakudla isinkwa sabo ngokukhathazeka, banathe amanzi abo ngokwesabisayo, ukuze ilizwe labo libe lunxiwa ngokugcwala kwalo ngenxa yodlakela lwabo bonke abahlala kilo.
20 Wɔbɛsɛe nkurow a nnipa tete so no nyinaa na asase no bɛda mpan. Afei wubehu sɛ mene Awurade no.’”
Lemizi okuhlalwa kiyo izakuba ngamanxiwa, lelizwe libe yinkangala; njalo lizakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.
21 Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se,
Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika 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, kuyini lesisaga elilaso elizweni lakoIsrayeli esithi: Insuku ziyelulwa, lawo wonke umbono uyabhubha?
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.
Ngakho batshele uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ngizakwenza lesisaga siphele, njalo kabasayikusisebenzisa njengesaga koIsrayeli; kodwa tshono kubo: Kusondele izinsuku lelizwi lawo wonke umbono.
24 Na atoro anisoadehu ne nnaadaa abisa wɔ Israelfo mu no to betwa.
Ngoba kakusayikuba khona lamunye umbono oyize, lokuvumisa okubutshelezi phakathi kwendlu yakoIsrayeli.
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.’”
Ngoba mina Nkosi ngizakhuluma; ilizwi engizalikhuluma lizakwenzeka, kalisayikuphuziswa; ngoba ezinsukwini zenu, lina ndlu evukelayo, ngizakhuluma ilizwi, ngilenze, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
26 Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn se,
Lafika futhi kimi ilizwi leNkosi 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, khangela, abendlu yakoIsrayeli bathi: Umbono awubonayo ungowensuku ezinengi, njalo uprofetha ngezikhathi ezikhatshana.
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 uthi kubo: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Kakusayikuphuziswa lelilodwa lamazwi ami, kodwa ilizwi engizalikhuluma lizakwenzeka, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
