Hezekeli 37
1Isandla sikaJehova sasiphezu kwami, sangikhipha ngoMoya kaJehova, sangibeka esigodini esigcwele amathambo;
2Wangivumela ukuba ngiwazungeze, bheka, ayemaningi esigodini esivulekile; bheka, omile kakhulu.
3Wathi kimi: “Ndodana yomuntu, lawa mathambo angaphila na? Ngathi: “Nkosi Jehova, uyakwazi wena.
4Wathi kimi: “Profetha ngalawa mathambo, uthi kuwo: ‘O mathambo omileyo, yizwani izwi likaJehova.
5Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova ngalawa mathambo; Bhekani, ngiyakufaka umoya kini, niphile;
6Ngiyakubeka phezu kwenu imisipha, ngenze ukuba kukhuphuke inyama phezu kwenu, nginembese ngesikhumba, ngifake kini umoya, ukuze niphile; nizokwazi ukuthi nginguJehova.
7Ngasengiprofetha njengokulaywa kwami; kwathi ngisaprofetha, kwaba khona umsindo, bheka, kwanyakaza, amathambo abuthana, ithambo ethanjeni lalo.
8Lapho ngibona, kwavela imisipha nenyama phezu kwawo, nesikhumba sawamboza ngaphezulu, kepha kwakungekho moya kuwo.
9Wayesethi kimi: “Profetha ngokumelene nomoya, profetha, ndodana yomuntu, uthi emoyeni: ‘Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, uthi: Woza uvela emimoyeni yomine, O moya, futhi uphefumulele phezu kwababuleweyo, ukuze baphile.
10Ngase ngiprofetha njengokungiyala kwakhe, umoya wangena kuwo, aphila, ema ngezinyawo zawo, impi enkulu kakhulu kakhulu.
11Wayesethi kimi: “Ndodana yomuntu, lawa mathambo ayindlu yonke yakwa-Israyeli; bheka, bathi: “Amathambo ethu omile, nethemba lethu liphelile; siqothulwe izingxenye zethu.
12Ngakho profetha uthi kubo: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova; Bhekani, bantu bami, ngiyakuvula amathuna enu, nginikhuphule emathuneni enu, nginiyise ezweni lakwa-Israyeli.
13Niyakwazi ukuthi nginguJehova, lapho ngivula amathuna enu, nina bantu bami, nginivusa emathuneni enu;
14Ngiyakubeka uMoya wami kini, niphile, nginihlalise ezweni lakini; khona niyakwazi ukuthi mina Jehova ngikhulumile, ngenza,” usho uJehova.
15Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:
16Wena-ke, ndodana yomuntu, zithathele induku ibe nye, ulobe kuyo ukuthi: EkaJuda, neyabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, abangane bakhe; uthathe enye intonga, ulobe kuyo ukuthi: EkaJosefa, ukhuni luka-Efrayimi, nendlu yonke yakwa-Israyeli, abangane bakhe;
17Futhi uwahlanganise othini lunye; ziyakuba-munye esandleni sakho.
18Lapho abantwana babantu bakini bekhuluma kuwe besithi: Kawufuni yini ukusitshengisa ukuthi uqondeni ngalokhu?
19Tshono kubo uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova; Bheka, ngiyakuthatha ukhuni lukaJosefa olusesandleni sika-Efrayimi nezizwe zakwa-Israyeli, abafowabo, ngibabeke kanye naye nezinkuni zakwaJuda, ngibenzele ukhuni olulodwa, babe munye esandleni sami.
20Izinti ozobhala kuzo kumelwe zibe sesandleni sakho phambi kwamehlo abo.
21Uzakuthi kubo: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova; “Bheka, ngiyakuthatha abantwana bakwa-Israyeli phakathi kwezizwe abaya kuzo, ngibabuthe ezinhlangothini zonke, ngibangenise ezweni labo.
22Ngiyakubenza isizwe sinye ezweni ezintabeni zakwa-Israyeli; futhi inkosi eyodwa iyoba yinkosi phezu kwabo bonke, futhi ngeke besaba izizwe ezimbili, futhi ngeke besahlukana babe imibuso emibili.
23Ngeke besazingcolisa ngezithombe zabo noma ngezinengiso zabo nanoma yiziphi iziphambeko zabo; kepha ngiyakubakhulula kuzo zonke izindawo zabo zokuhlala bonile, ngibahlanze; ngakho bazakuba ngabantu Kimi, lami ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo.
24Inceku yami uDavide iyakuba yinkosi phezu kwabo; futhi bonke bayoba nomalusi oyedwa; bayakuhamba ngezimiso zami, bagcine izimiso zami, bazenze.
25Bayakuhlala ezweni engalinika inceku yami uJakobe, ababehlala kulo oyihlo; bayohlala kulo, bona nabantwana babo nabantwana babantwana babo kuze kube phakade; inceku yami uDavida izakuba ngumbusi wabo kuze kube nininini.
26Ngiyakwenza isivumelwano sokuthula nabo; kuyakuba yisivumelwano esiphakade nabo; ngiyakubabeka, ngibandise, ngibeke indlu yami engcwele phakathi kwabo kuze kube phakade.
27Itabernakele lami liyakuba nabo; yebo, ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wabo, bona babe ngabantu bami.
28Izizwe ziyakwazi ukuthi mina Jehova ngingcwelisa u-Israyeli, lapho indlu yami engcwele iphakathi kwabo kuze kube phakade.
