Hezekeli 20
INkosi ayimvumeli ukuthi kukhulunywe ngaye
1Kwathi ngomnyaka wesikhombisa, ngenyanga yesihlanu, ngolweshumi lwenyanga, kwafika amadoda amalunga akwa-Israyeli ukuzobuza uJehova, ahlala phambi kwami.
2Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:
3Ndodana yomuntu, khuluma kumalunga akwa-Israyeli, uthi kuwo: Usho kanje uJehova; Uyeza uzongithinta? Kuphila kwami, usho uJehova, angiyikubuzwa yinina.
4Uyathanda ukubahlulela, ndodana yomuntu, uyathanda ukubahlulela na? mabazazi izinengiso zawoyise;
5Uzakuthi kubo: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova; Ngosuku engakhetha ngalo u-Israyeli, ngaphakamisela isandla sami enzalweni yendlu kaJakobe, ngazibonakalisa kubo ezweni laseGibithe, ngiphakamisela kubo isandla sami, ngathi: “NginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu;
6mhla ngibaphakamisela isandla sami ukuba ngibakhiphe ezweni laseGibithe ngibayise ezweni engangibabonele lona, elichichima ubisi nezinyosi, eliwudumo lwamazwe onke.
7Ngase ngithi kubo: “Lahlani, kube yilowo nalowo izinengiso zamehlo akhe, ningazingcolisi ngonkulunkulu abangcolileyo baseGibithe; nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.
8Kepha bangihlubuka, abangilalelanga; abalahlanga, kwaba yilowo nalowo izinengiso emehlweni abo, ababashiyanga onkulunkulu baseGibithe; ukuthukuthela kwami phezu kwabo phakathi kwezwe laseGibithe.
9Kodwa ngakwenza ngenxa yebizo lami, ukuze lingangcoliswa phambi kwezizwe ababephakathi kwazo, engazazisa kubo phambi kwamehlo azo ngokubakhupha elizweni leGibhithe.
10Yingakho ngabakhipha ezweni laseGibhithe ngabayisa ehlane.
11Ngabanika izimiso zami, ngabazisa izahlulelo zami, okuthi uma umuntu ezenza, aphile ngazo.
12Futhi ngabanika amasabatha ami abe yisibonakaliso phakathi kwami nabo, ukuze bazi ukuthi nginguJehova obangcwelisayo.
13Kepha indlu yakwa-Israyeli yangihlubuka ehlane; abahambanga ngezimiso zami, badelela izahlulelo zami, okuthi uma umuntu ezenza, aphile ngazo; amasabatha ami bawangcolisa kakhulu;
14Kodwa ngakwenza ngenxa yebizo lami, ukuze lingangcoliswa phambi kwabezizwe, engabakhupha phambi kwamehlo abo.
15Kepha nami ngabaphakamisela isandla sami ehlane, ukuthi angiyikubangenisa ezweni engabanika lona, elichichima ubisi nezinyosi, elikhazimulayo emazweni onke;
16Ngokuba bazidelela izimiso zami, abahambanga ngezimiso zami, bawona amasabatha ami, ngokuba inhliziyo yabo yalandela izithombe zabo.
17Kodwa ilihlo lami labahawukela ekubabhubhiseni, njalo kangibaqedanga enkangala.
18Kodwa ngathi kubantwana babo ehlane: Ningahambi ngezimiso zawoyihlo, ningazigcini izahlulelo zabo, ningazingcolisi ngezithombe zabo.
19NginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu; hambani ngezimiso zami, nigcine izahlulelo zami, nizenze;
20Futhi ungcwelise amasabatha ami; zibe yisibonakaliso phakathi kwami nani, ukuze nazi ukuthi nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.
21Kepha abantwana bangihlubuka, abahambanga ngezimiso zami, abagcinanga izahlulelo zami ukwenza lokhu, okuthi, uma umuntu ekwenza lokhu, aphile ngazo; bawona amasabatha ami; ngase ngithi: Ngiyakuthulula ukufutheka kwami phezu kwabo, ukuze intukuthelo yami iphumele phezu kwabo ehlane.
22Kodwa ngasibuyisa isandla sami ngenza ngenxa yebizo lami, ukuze lingangcoliswa emehlweni ezizwe engabakhupha phambi kwamehlo azo.
23Nami ngiphakamisele isandla sami kubo ehlane ukubahlakazela ezizweni, ngibahlakaze emazweni;
24ngokuba abagcinanga izimiso zami, badelela izimiso zami, bawona amasabatha ami, amehlo abo alandela izithombe zawoyise.
25Ngalokho nami ngabanika izimiso ezingezinhle nezahlulelo ababengayikuphila ngazo;
26Ngabangcolisa ngezipho zabo, ngokudabulisa emlilweni konke okwakuvula isizalo, ukuze ngibenze ihlane, ukuze bazi ukuthi nginguJehova.
27Ngakho-ke, ndodana yomuntu, khuluma kuyo indlu yakwa-Israyeli, uthi kubo: Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Kodwa kulokhu oyihlo bangithukile ngokuphambuka kwabo kimi.
28Ngokuba lapho ngibangenisa ezweni engaphakamisela isandla sami ukubanika lona, babona onke amagquma aphakemeyo nemithi yonke eminyeneyo, banikela khona imihlatshelo yabo, bahlanjalazwa khona. Umhlatshelo; benza khona iphunga labo elimnandi, bathulula khona iminikelo yabo yokuphuzwa.
29Ngasengisithi kubo: Ingaphi indawo ephakemeyo eliya kuyo? Igama layo libizwa ngokuthi iBama kuze kube namuhla.
30Ngakho yithi kuyo indlu kaIsrayeli: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova; Ningcolisiwe ngokwesiko lawoyihlo na? futhi baphinge ngezinengiso zabo?
31Ngokuba lapho niletha izipho zenu, lapho nidabulisa amadodana enu emlilweni, niyazingcolisa ngazo zonke izithombe zenu kuze kube namuhla; Kuphila kwami, isho iNkosi uJehova, angiyikubuzwa yinina.
32Futhi okufika enhliziyweni yenu akuyikuba-khona nhlobo, ukuthi nithi: Siyakuba njengezizwe, njengezizukulwane zamazwe, ukukhonza imithi namatshe.
33Kuphila kwami, isho iNkosi uJehova, impela ngesandla esinamandla nangengalo eyeluliweyo nangolaka oluthululiweyo ngiyakubusa phezu kwenu.
34Ngiyakunikhipha ezizweni, nginibuthe emazweni enihlakazekele kuwo ngesandla esinamandla, nangengalo eyeluliweyo, nangolaka oluthululwayo.
35Ngiyakuniyisa ehlane labantu, ngilwe nani khona ubuso nobuso.
36Njengalokho ngalwa naboyihlo ehlane laseGibithe, kanjalo ngiyakulwa nani, isho iNkosi uJehova.
37Ngiyakunenza nidlule phansi kwenduku, nginingenise esibophweni sesivumelwano.
38Ngiyakunquma phakathi kwenu abahlubukayo nabeqayo kimi; ngiyakubakhipha ezweni abagogobele kulo njengabafokazi, abayikungena ezweni lakwa-Israyeli; nizokwazi ukuthi nginguJehova.
39Nina-ke ndlu yakwa-Israyeli, isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Hambani nikhonze, kube yilowo nalowo izithombe zakhe, kuthi ngasemuva, uma ningangilaleli; kodwa ningabe nisangcolisa igama lami elingcwele ngezipho zenu nangezithombe zenu.
40Ngokuba entabeni yami engcwele, entabeni ende yakwa-Israyeli, isho iNkosi uJehova, lapho yonke indlu yakwa-Israyeli iyakungikhonza, bonke abasezweni; lapho ngiyakubathokozisa, futhi lapho ngiyakubiza kuwe iminikelo nolibo lwezipho zenu kanye nazo zonke izipho zenu ezingcwele.
41Ngiyakunithokozisa ngephunga lenu elimnandi, lapho nginikhipha kubantu, nginibutha emazweni enihlakazekele kuwo; njalo ngizangcweliswa kuwe phambi kwabezizwe.
42Niyakwazi ukuthi nginguJehova, lapho nginingenisa ezweni lakwa-Israyeli, ezweni engaphakamisela lona isandla sami ukulinika oyihlo.
43Kumelwe nicabange lapho izindlela zenu nazo zonke izenzo zenu eningcoliswe ngazo; lizanengeka emehlweni enu ngabo bonke ububi benu elibenzileyo.
44Niyakwazi ukuthi nginguJehova, uma ngenzile kini ngenxa yegama lami, kungengokwezindlela zenu ezimbi nangokwezenzo zenu ezonakeleyo nina ndlu ka-Israyeli, isho iNkosi uJehova.
45Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:
46Ndodana yomuntu, bhekisa ubuso bakho eningizimu, izwi lakho liwele ngaseningizimu, uprofethe ngehlathi lensimu yaseningizimu;
47uthi ehlathini laseningizimu: ‘Yizwa izwi likaJehova; Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova; Bheka, ngiyakuphemba umlilo phakathi kwakho, uqede yonke imithi eluhlaza phakathi kwakho nayo yonke imithi eyomileyo;
48Futhi yonke inyama iyobona ukuthi mina, Jehova, ngiwubasile; ngeke ucime.
49Ngase ngithi: “O, Nkosi Jehova! bathi ngaMi: Akakhulumi ngemifanekiso na?
