Ezekiel

8

1Zvino negore rechitanhatu, nomwedzi wechitanhatu, nezuwa reshanu romwedzi, ini ndigere mumba mangu, navakuru vaJudha vagere pamberi pangu, ruoko rwaIshe Jehovha ndokuwira pamusoro pangu.
1And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth [month], on the fifth of the month, that [as] I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, the hand of the Lord Jehovah fell there upon me.
2Ipapo ndikatarira ndikaona mufananidzo unenge somoto; kubva pakaita sechiuno chake zvichienda pasi, kwakanga kunomoto, kubva pachiuno chake zvichikwira kumusoro zvinenge kubwinya, sedare rinopenya.
2And I looked, and behold, a likeness as the appearance of fire; from the appearance of his loins and downward, fire; and from his loins and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the look of glowing brass.
3Akatambanudza zvakanga zvakaita soruoko, akandibata nebumu romusoro wangu, Mweya wakandisimudza pakati pedenga nenyika, ndokundiisa paJerusaremu ndichiratidzwa zviratiidzo naMwari, kumukova wesuwo roruvanze rwomukati unotarira kurutivi rwokumusoro, pakanga pane chigaro chechifananidzo chegodo, chinomutsa godo.
3And he stretched forth the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heavens, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entry of the inner gate that looketh toward the north, where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.
4Zvino tarira, kubwinya kwaMwari waIsiraeri kwakanga kuripo, zvakafanana nezvandakaona mubani.
4And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the appearance that I saw in the valley.
5Ipapo akati kwandiri, Mwanakomana womunhu, rinzira meso ako kurutivi rwokumusoro. Ipapo ndakaringira meso angu kurutivi rwokumusoro, ndikaona kurutivi rwokumusoro rwesuwo rearitari chifananidzo ichi chegodo chimire panopindwa napo.
5And he said unto me, Son of man, lift up now thine eyes toward the north. And I lifted up mine eyes toward the north, and behold, northward of the gate of the altar, this image of jealousy in the entry.
6Akati kwandiri, Mwanakomana womunhu, unoona zvavanoita here? Izvo zvinonyangadza zvikuru zvinoitwa pano neimba yaIsiraeri, kuti ini ndibve ndiende kure nenzvimbo yangu tsvene here? Asi uchaonazve zvimwe zvinonyangadza zvikuru.
6And he said unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? the great abominations that the house of Israel commit here, to cause [me] to go far off from my sanctuary? And yet again thou shalt see great abominations.
7Akandiisa kumukova woruvanze; zvino ndakati ndichitarira, ndikaona pakakoromoka parusvingo.
7And he brought me to the entry of the court, and I looked, and behold, a hole in the wall.
8Zvino akati kwandiri, Mwanakomana womunhu, chera zvino parusvingo; zvino ndakati ndachera parusvingo, ndikaona mukova.
8And he said unto me, Son of man, dig now through the wall; and I digged through the wall, and behold, a door.
9Akati kwandiri, Pinda, undoona zvinonyangadza zvakashata zvavanoita pano.
9And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.
10Ipapo ndakapinda, ndikaona; tarira, mifananidzo yamarudzi ose ezvinokambaira pasi, nemhuka dzinonyangadza, nezvifananidzo zvose zveimba yaIsiraeri zvakafananidzwa parusvingo kumativi ose.
10And I went in and looked, and behold, every form of creeping thing and abominable beast, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon the wall round about.
11Pamberi pazvo pakanga pamire varume vana makumi manomwe vavakuru veimba yaIsiraeri; pakati pavo pakanga pamire Jaazania mwanakomana waShafani, mumwe nomumwe akabata hadyana yake yezvinonhuhwira muruoko rwake; munhuwi wegore rezvinonhuhwira ukaramba uchikwira.
11And there stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.
12Ipapo akati kwandiri, Mwanakomana womunhu, waona here zvinoitwa navakuru veimba yaIsiraeri murima, mumwe nomumwe mukamuri yake yemifananidzo? nekuti vanoti, Jehovha haationi; Jehovha akabva panyika ino.
12And he said unto me, Hast thou seen, son of man, what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every one in his chambers of imagery? for they say, Jehovah seeth us not; Jehovah hath forsaken the land.
13Akatiwo kwandiri, Uchaonazve zvimwe zvinonyangadza zvikuru zvavanoita.
13And he said unto me, Yet again thou shalt see great abominations which they do.
14Ipapo akandiisa kumukova wesuwo reimba yaJehovha rakanga riri kurutivi rwokumusoro; ndikaona vakadzi vagerepo vachichema Tamuzi.
14And he brought me to the entry of the gate of Jehovah's house that was toward the north; and behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
15Zvino akati kwandiri, Wazviona here, iwe Mwanakomana womunhu? Uchaona zvimwe zvinonyangadza zvinopfuura izvo.
15And he said unto me, Seest thou, son of man? Thou shalt yet again see greater abominations than these.
16Ipapo akandiisa muruvanze rwomukati rweimba yaJehovha; tarira, pamukova wetemberi yaJehovha pakati peberere nearitari, kwakanga kuna varume vanenge makumi maviri navashanu, vakafuratira temberi yaJehovha, zviso zvavo zvakaringira kurutivi rwamabvazuva; vakanga vachinamata zuva kurutivi rwamabvazuva.
16And he brought me into the inner court of Jehovah's house, and behold, at the entry of the temple of Jehovah, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of Jehovah and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.
17Zvino akati kwandiri, Wazviona here, iwe Mwanakomana womunhu? Chinhu chiduku here kuimba yaJudha, kuti vaite zvinonyangadza zvavanoita pano? nekuti vakazadza nyika nokuita nesimba, vakadzoka vomutsa kutsamwa kwangu; tarira vanoisa davi kumhino dzavo.
17And he said unto me, Seest thou, son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah to commit the abominations which they commit here, that they yet fill the land with violence, and keep provoking me afresh to anger? And behold, they put the branch to their nose.
18Naizvozvo neniwo ndichaita nehasha; ziso rangu haringapembedzi, handingavi netsitsi; kunyange vakadanidzira munzeve dzangu nenzwi guru, handingavanzwi.
18And I also will deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity; and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, I will not hear them.
