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

18:1Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, ethi:

18:2“Kungani nisakaza lo mfanekiso phakathi kwenu?, njengesaga elizweni lakoIsrayeli, ethi: ‘Obaba badla amagilebhisi ababayo, amazinyo amadodana athintekile.’

18:3Njengoba ngiphila, isho iNkosi uJehova, lomfanekiso awusayikuba yisaga kini kwa-Israyeli.

18:4Bheka, yonke imiphefumulo ingeyami. Njengoba umphefumulo kababa ungowami, unjalo nomphefumulo wendodana. Umphefumulo owonayo, the same shall die.18:5Futhi uma indoda ilungile, futhi ufeza ukwahlulela nokulunga,

18:6futhi uma engadli ezintabeni, futhi akaphakamiselanga amehlo akhe kuzo izithombe zendlu ka-Israyeli, futhi uma engamonanga umkamakhelwane wakhe, futhi engasondeli kowesifazane osesikhathini,

18:7futhi uma engadabukisanga muntu, kodwa ubuyisele isibambiso kokweletayo, uma engabambanga lutho ngobudlova, unike abalambile isinkwa sakhe, wembesa onqunu ngengubo,

18:8uma engatshelekanga ngenzalo, futhi athathanga ukwanda, uma enqande isandla sakhe ebubini, futhi wenze ukwahlulela kweqiniso phakathi komuntu nomuntu,18:9uma ehamba ngeziyalezo zami, wagcina izahlulelo zami, ukuze enze ngokuvumelana neqiniso, khona ulungile; uyakuphila impela, says the Lord God.1

8:10Kodwa uma ekhulisa indodana engumphangi, ochitha igazi, futhi owenza noma iyiphi yalezi zinto,

18:13oboleka ngenzuzo, futhi ngubani owandisayo, khona uyakuphila? Ngeke aphile. Njengoba enze zonke lezi zinengiso, uyakufa nokufa. Igazi lakhe liyakuba phezu kwakhe.

18:30Ngakho-ke, O ndlu ka-Israyeli, ngiyokwahlulela yilowo nalowo ngokwezindlela zakhe, isho iNkosi uJehova. Phenduka, futhi wenze ukuphenduka kuzo zonke izono zakho, khona-ke ububi abuyikuba incithakalo yenu.

18:31Lahlani zonke iziphambeko zenu, nenephule ngalo, kude nawe, nizenzele inhliziyo entsha nomoya omusha. Futhi-ke kungani kufanele ufe, O ndlu ka-Israyeli?

18:32Ngokuba angikufisi ukufa kofayo, isho iNkosi uJehova. Ngakho buya uphile.”
