UHezekile Chapter 13

1. Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,

2. Nyana womntu, profeta uchase abaprofeti bakwaSirayeli abaprofetayo, uthi kwabaprofeta okwentliziyo yabo, Liveni ilizwi likaYehova.

3. Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yeha ke, abaprofeti abanobudenge, abalandela owabo umoya, nento abangayibonanga!

4. Baba njengeempungutye emanxuweni abaprofeti bakho, Sirayeli.

5. Aninyukanga niye emathutyeni, niyibiyele ngodonga indlu kaSirayeli, ukuze nakhe uluhlu lokulwa ngomhla kaYehova.

6. Babona into ekhohlakeleyo nokuvumisa okungamanga, abo bathi, Utsho uYehova; uYehova engabathumanga, ukanti balinda ukuqiniswa kwelo lizwi.

7. Anibonanga mbono wankohlakalo na, nakuvumisa okungamanga na, nisithi nje, Utsho uYehova; ndingathethanga mna?

8. Ngako oko itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ngenxa yokuba nithethe into ekhohlakeleyo, nibona amanga, ngako oko, yabonani, ndinichasile; itsho iNkosi uYehova.

9. Isandla sam sichasa abaprofeti ababona into ekhohlakeleyo, bavumise amanga. Abayi kubakho ekucweyweni kwabantu bam, bangabhalwa encwadini yomlibo wendlu kaSirayeli, bangangeni emhlabeni wakwaSirayeli; nazi ukuba ndiyiNkosi uYehova.

10. Ngenxa yokuba, ewe, ngenxa yokuba bebandwendwisile abantu bam, besithi, Luxolo, kungekho luxolo; bathi, bakwakha udonga bona, yabona, abaya balutyabeka ngodaka oluhlephukayo:

11. yithi kwabatyabeka ngodaka oluhlephukayo, Luya kuwa; kuza isiphango esikhukulayo; nina ke, matye esichotho, yiwani; wena moya usisaqhwithi, ovuthuvuthuzayo, qhutha.

12. Xa ke luthe lwawa udonga, akuyi kuthiwa na kuni, Kuphi na ukutyabeka enatyabeka ngako?

13. Ngako oko itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ndiya kuqhuthisa umoya ovuthuvuthuzayo ngobushushu bam; kuze nesiphango esikhukulayo ngomsindo wam, namatye ezichotho ngobushushu, ukuze kugqityelwe kuphele.

14. Ndiya kulugungxula udonga enalutyabeka ngodaka oluhlephukayo, ndiluwise emhlabeni, sityhilekile isiseko salo, luwe, niphelele kweso sithuba salo; nazi ukuba ndinguYehova.

15. Ndobuphelelisela eludongeni ubushushu bam, nakwabatyabeka ngodaka oluhlephukayo, ndithi kuni, Alusekho udonga, abasekho abatyabeki balo,

16. abaprofeti bakwaSirayeli ababeprofeta ngeYerusalem, ababebona umbono woxolo, kungekho luxolo; itsho iNkosi uYehova.

17. Wena ke, nyana womntu, bhekisa ubuso bakho kwiintombi zabantu bakowenu, eziprofeta okweentliziyo zazo.

18. Uze uprofete ngazo, uthi, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yeha ke, abo bathunga izibophelelo ezihlahleni zezandla zonke, benze izigubungelo ezilingene iintloko zonke, ukuze bathiyele imiphefumlo! Nithiyele imiphefumlo yabantu bam, nasindisa eyenu imiphefumlo.

19. Nindihlambele kubantu bam ngenxa yerhasi esutywe ngezandla, nangenxa yamaqhekeza esonka, ukuze nibulale imiphefumlo ebingeyakufa, nisindise imiphefumlo ebingeyakusindiswa, ngamanga enu ebantwini bam abava amanga.

20. Ngako oko itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabonani, ndizichasile izibophelelo zenu, enithiyela ngazo imiphefumlo njengeentaka. Ndiya kuziqhawula ezingalweni zenu, ndiyindulule imiphefumlo, kwaimiphefumlo eniyithiyeleyo njengeentaka.

21. Ndozikrazula izigubungelo zenu, ndibahlangule abantu bam esandleni senu, bangabi saba yinto ethiyelwayo esandleni senu; nazi ukubandinguYehova.

22. Ngenxa enokuba niyenze buhlungu ngobuxoki intliziyo yelungisa, endingalenzanga buhlungu mna; nazomeleza izandla zongendawo, ukuze angabuyi endleleni yakhe embi, asindiswe:

23. ngako oko aniyi kuyibona into ekhohlakeleyo ningabi savumisa nokuvumisa; ngokuba ndiya kubahlangula abantu bam esandleni senu; nazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
