Umprofethi ubona uNkulunkulu
1Kwathi ngomnyaka wamashumi amathathu ngenyanga yesine ngolwesihlanu, ngiphakathi kwabathunjwa ngasemfuleni iKhebari, lavuleka izulu, ngabona imibono ngoNkulunkulu.
2Ngolwesihlanu lwenyanga ngomnyaka wesihlanu wokuthunjwa kukaJehoyakini
3izwi likaJehova lafika kuHezekeli umpristi, indodana kaBuzi, ezweni lamaKaledi ngasemfuleni iKhebari. Isandla sikaJehova sasiphezu kwakhe lapho.
4Ngabona, bheka, kwavela umoya wesivunguvungu enyakatho, ifu elikhulu elinomlilo ovuthayo nokukhanya nxazonke zalo, kuphuma phakathi kwalo kungathi ithusi elikhazimulayo, kuvela emlilweni.
5Phakathi kwakho kwaphuma umfanekiso wezidalwa ezine, nesimo sazo sasiyilesi: zafana nabantu,
6kepha yileso naleso sasinobuso obune, futhi sasinamaphiko amane;
7imilenze yazo yayiqondile, amathe ezinyawo zazo ayenjengamathe ezinyawo zethole; zazibengezela njengethusi eliphucuziweyo.
8Zazinezandla zomuntu phansi kwamaphiko azo ezinhlangothini zazo zozine. Ubuso namaphiko alezi ezine kwakunje:
9amaphiko azo ayehlangene, elinye nelinye; aziphendukanga ekuhambeni kwazo, yileso naleso sahamba ngokuqonda kobuso baso.
10Isimo sobuso bazo sasingubuso bomuntu, zozine zinobuso bengonyama ngakwesokunene, zozine zinobuso benkomo ngakwesokhohlo, zozine zinobuso bokhozi futhi.
11Babunjalo ubuso bazo. Amaphiko azo ayahlukene phezulu; kuleso naleso amabili ayehlangene, elinye nelinye; amabili ayembesa imizimba yazo.
12Zahamba zonke ngokuqonda kobuso bazo, zaya khona, lapho umoya wayethanda ukuya khona, aziphendukanga ekuhambeni kwazo.
13Isimo sezidalwa sasinjengamalahle omlilo avutha njengezibani, ahambahamba phakathi kwezidalwa; umlilo wabengezela, nasemlilweni kwaphuma unyazi.
14Izidalwa zagijima, zabuya njengombani.
15Ngisabuka izidalwa, bheka, nanto isondo emhlabathini eceleni kwezidalwa, kuleso naleso sazo zozine.
16Ukubonakala kwamasondo nokwenziwa kwawo kwakunjengekrisolithe*, nezimo zawo omane zaziyintonye. Ukubonakala kwawo nokwenziwa kwawo kwakunjengokuba kukhona isondo phakathi kwesondo.
17Ekuhambeni kwawo aya ezinhlangothini zozine; awaphendukanga ekuhambeni kwawo.
18Amafelange* awo ayephakeme, ayesabeka; amafelange omane ayegcwele amehlo nxazonke.
19Ekuhambeni kwezidalwa amasondo ahamba eceleni kwazo, nasekuphakanyisweni kwezidalwa emhlabeni namasondo aphakanyiswa.
20Lapho umoya wayethanda ukuya khona, aya khona, yebo, lapho umoya wayethanda khona; namasondo aphakanyiswa kanye nazo, ngokuba umoya wezidalwa wayesemasondweni.
21Ekuhambeni kwazo nawo ahamba; ekumeni kwazo nawo ema; ekuphakanyisweni kwazo emhlabeni aphakanyiswa namasondo kanye nazo, ngokuba umoya wezidalwa wayesemasondweni.
22Phezu kwamakhanda ezidalwa kwakukhona kungathi umkhathi unjengekristalu* elimangalisayo, owenekwé phezu kwamakhanda azo phezulu.
23Phansi komkhathi amaphiko azo ayeqondene, elinye nelinye, yileso naleso sinamabili embesa imizimba yazo ngalapha, sinamabili embesa ngalapha.
24Ekuhambeni kwazo ngezwa umsindo wamaphiko azo njengomsindo wamanzi amaningi njengezwi likaSomandla, nomsindo wesidumo njengomsindo wempi; ekumeni kwazo zawehlisa amaphiko azo.
25Kwavela izwi phezu komkhathi owawuphezu kwamakhanda azo; ekumeni kwazo zawehlisa amaphiko azo.
26Phezu komkhathi owawuphezu kwamakhanda azo kwakunjengokungathi isihlalo sobukhosi, isimo saso sinjengetshe lesafire*. Phezu kokwakunjengesi hlalo sobukhosi kwakukhona okufana nomuntu phezu kwaso ngaphezulu.
27Ngase ngibona okunjengethusi elikhazimulayo, kufana nomlilo phakathi kwakho nxazonke, kusukela kokungathi ukhalo lwakhe kuya phezulu; kusukela kokungathi ukhalo lwakhe kuya ngaphansi ngabona okufana nomlilo; kwabengezela nxazonke kwawo.
28Njengothingo olusemafwini ngosuku lwemvula kwabonakala kanjalo ukubengezela nxazonke. Kwakunjengesimo senkazimulo kaJehova. Lapho ngiyibona, ngawa ngobuso, ngezwa izwi lokhulumayo.
