The Book of the Prophet Ezekiel 18: 1-10, 13, 30-32

18:1Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, esithi:

18:2Yini na ukuba niwuthethe phakathi kwenu lo mzekeliso?, njengomzekeliso elizweni lakwaSirayeli, esithi: ‘Ooyise badla iidiliya ezikrakra, amazinyo oonyana achaphazelekile.’

18:3Ndiphila nje, itsho iNkosi uYehova, lo mzekeliso awusayi kuba sazekeliso kuni kwaSirayeli.

18:4Khangela, yonke imiphefumlo yeyam. Kanye njengokuba umphefumlo kayise ungowam, unjalo umphefumlo wonyana. Umphefumlo owonayo, the same shall die.18:5Kwaye ukuba indoda ilungile, nguye owenza okusesikweni nobulungisa,

18:6nokuba akadli ezintabeni, akawaphakamisela amehlo akhe kwizigodo zendlu kaSirayeli, nokuba ayimdlwengulanga umfazi wommelwane wayo, engazange asondele nakumfazi osexesheni,

18:7nokuba akenze buhlungu bani, kumbuyisele kuye lowo unetyala, ukuba ayibambanga nto ngokugonyamela, Usipha olambileyo isonka sakhe, wamgubungela oze ngengubo,

18:8ukuba akabizanga nzala, okanye athabatha naluphi na ulwando, ukuba uthe wasibuyisa isandla sakhe ebugwenxeni, wenze isigwebo senyaniso phakathi komntu nomntu,18:9ukuba wahamba ngemithetho yam, wagcina amasiko am, ukuze enze ngokuvisisana nenyaniso, ke yena ulilungisa; inene, wophila, says the Lord God.1

8:10Ukuba uthe wakhulisa unyana ongumhange, ophalaza igazi, ngubani na owenza enye kwezo zinto,

18:13obolekisa ngemali yenzala, ngubani na owandisayo, uya kuphila ke? Akayi kuphila. Kuba enze onke la masikizi, inene, uya kufa. Igazi lakhe liya kuba phezu kwakhe.

18:30Ngoko ke, Owu ndlu kaSirayeli, ndiya kugweba elowo ngokweendlela zakhe;, itsho iNkosi uYehova. Guqula, wenze inguquko ngenxa yobugwenxa bakho bonke, ke ubugwenxa abuyi kuba sisikhubekiso kuwe.

18:31Lahlani zonke izikreqo zenu, enikreqe ngako, kude nawe, nizenzele intliziyo entsha nomoya omtsha. Kwaye ke kutheni kufuneka ufe, Owu ndlu kaSirayeli?

18:32Kuba akunqweneli ukufa kofayo, itsho iNkosi uYehova. Buya ke, uphile.
