Hezekiyeli 2:1-10
2 Nje-ke wathi kimi: “Ndodana yomuntu,* sikima ujame ngeenyawo bona ngikhulume nawe.”+
2 Nakakhuluma nami, ummoya wafika kimi, wajama phambi kwami wangenza ngajama ngeenyawo+ bona ngizwe loyo okhuluma nami.
3 Waraga wathi kimi: “Ndodana yomuntu, ngikuthumela ebantwini bakwa-Israyeli,+ eentjhabeni ezihlubukako, ezihlubuka ngokujamelene nami.+ Bona nabokhokho babo bonile ngokujamelene nami bekube kunamhlanjesi.+
4 Ngikuthumela emadodaneni adelelako nanekani,+ kufuze uthi kiwo, ‘Nakhu iKosi ePhakemeko uJehova ekutjhoko.’
5 Nakungibo, nanyana bangakulalela namkha bangakulaleli, ngombana bayindlu ehlubukako,+ ngokuqinisekileko bazokwazi ukuthi bekunomphorofidi phakathi kwabo.+
6 Kodwana wena, ndodana yomuntu, ungabasabi+ begodu ungawasabi amezwabo, ngitjho nanyana ubhodwe mathuthumbo ahlabako nameva*+ begodu uhlala hlangana nabofezela. Ungawasabi amezwabo+ begodu ungathuswa bubuso babo,+ ngombana bayindlu ehlubukako.
7 Kufuze ubatjele amezwami, ngitjho nanyana bangakulalela namkha bangakulaleli ngombana bababantu abahlubukako.+
8 Kodwana wena ndodana yomuntu, lalela lokho engikutjela khona. Ungahlubuki njengendlu ehlubukako le. Vula umlomakho begodu udle lokho engikunikela khona.”+
9 Nangiqalako ngabona isandla silulekele kimi,+ ngabona umsongo otloliweko.+
10 Nangiwuvulako phambi kwami, bewutlolwe ngaphambili nangemuva.+ Iinlilo, ukuzila nokurhahlawula bekutlolwe kiwo.+
