Chapter # Verse # Verse Detail
11Ke kaloku, ngomnyaka wamashumi omathathu, ngenyanga yesine, ngolwesihlanu usuku enyangeni leyo, ndakubon’ ukuba ndiphakathi kwabathinjiweyo ngasemlanjeni oyiKebhare, avuleka amazulu, ndabona imibono kaThixo.
12Ngolwesihlanu enyangeni leyo (ingumnyaka ke wesihlanu wokuthinjwa kokumkani uYehoyakin lowo),
13kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kuHezekile unyana kaBhuzi, umbingeleli, ezweni lamaKaledi, ngasemlanjeni oyiKebhare; saba phezu kwakhe apho isandla sikaYehova.
14Ndabona ke, nanko kusiza umoya ovuthuzayo, uvela ngasentla, unelifu elikhulu nomlilo obumbeneyo njengembumbulu, nobumhlophe obungeenxa zonke kulo, obuphuma ngaphakathi kwawo, bubonakala ngathi yigolide evuthiweyo emlilweni phakathi.
15Ngaphakathi kwawo yimfano yezinto eziphilileyo ezine. Nantsi ke imbonakalo yazo: zibe zinemfano yomntu;
16inye ibinobuso obune, inye kuzo apho ibinamaphiko amane.
17Imilenze yazo ibiyimilenze ethe nkqo; umphantsi weenyawo ubunjengomphantsi wenqina lethole; zidangazela zibonakala ngathi lubhedu olubengezelisiweyo.
18Zazinezandla zomntu ngaphantsi kwamaphiko azo emacaleni azo omane; zone ke zinobuso namaphiko;
19amaphiko azo abehlangene, elaleyo nelaleyo; bezingajiki ekuhambeni kwazo, bezihamba, iyileyo iye kwicala elikhangelene nobuso bayo.
110Imfano yobuso bazo ibe ibubuso bomntu; zinobuso bengonyama zone ngasekunene; zinobuso benkomo zone ngasekhohlo, zinobuso bokhozi zone;
111ubuso bazo namaphiko azo abe ahlukene ngaphezulu; iyileyo inamabini ehlangene nawaleyo, namaphiko amabini ke egubungele imizimba yazo.
112Zahamba ke, iyileyo yaya kwicala elikhangelene nobuso bayo; apho sukuba ubusiya khona umoya, zaya khona; azajika ekuhambeni kwazo.
113Imfano yezinto eziphilileyo ezo, imbonakalo yazo, ibingathi ngamalahle omlilo abasiweyo; ibingathi yimbonakalo yezikhuni ezitshangazayo; wona wahambahamba phakathi kwezinto eziphilileyo ezo; umhlophe ke umlilo lowo, emlilweni kuphuma imibane.
114Izinto eziphilileyo bezigidima zibuye, ngokokubonakala kokuphambaphamba kombane.
115Ndazibona izinto eziphilileyo; nanko ke, kukho iivili emhlabeni, ecaleni kwezinto eziphilileyo, zinganye iivili kubuso ngobuso bazo obune.
116Ukubonakala kweevili nokusetyenzwa kwazo kwakunjengembonakalo yekrizolite, zimfani-nye zone; ukubonakala kwazo nokusetyenzwa kwazo kungathi ivili ingaphakathi kwevili.
117Ekuhambeni kwazo zaphambela kumacala azo omane; azajika ekuhambeni kwazo.
118Iifeleni zazo beziphakamile, bezisoyikeka; iifeleni zazo bezizele ngamehlo ngeenxa zonke kuzo zone.
119Zakuhamba izinto eziphilileyo, zahamba nazo iivili ecaleni lazo; zakusuka izinto eziphilileyo emhlabeni, zasuka nazo iivili.
120Apho sukuba usiya khona umoya, zaya apho sukuba umoya ubusiya khona; zasuka iivili kunye nazo; ngokokuba umoya wezinto eziphilileyo ubukho ezivilini ezo.
121Zakuhamba, zahamba nazo; zakuma, zema nazo; zakusuka emhlabeni, zasuka iivili kunye nazo; ngokokuba umoya wezinto eziphilileyo ubukho ezivilini ezo.
122Naphezu kweentloko zezinto eziphilileyo bekukho into efana nesibhakabhaka, ngathi ngembonakalo yikristale eyoyikekayo, sanekiwe phezu kwentloko yazo ngaphezulu.
123Ngaphantsi kwesibhakabhaka amaphiko ayethe tye, elo lasinga kwelo; iyileyo inamabini ayigubungeleyo, iyileyo inamabini ayigubungeleyo emzimbeni.
124Ndeva ke isandi samaphiko azo, sinjengesandi samanzi amaninzi, ngathi lilizwi loSomandla, ekuhambeni kwazo; izwi elinengxolo ngathi sisandi somkhosi; zakuma, zawayeka ehla amaphiko azo.
125Kwabakho ke izwi liphuma ngaphaya kwesibhakabhaka, esibe siphezu kweentloko zazo; zakuma, zawayeka ehla amaphiko azo.
126Ngaphezu kwesibhakabhaka esibe siphezu kweentloko zazo, kwabonakala umfanekiselo wetrone, wanga lilitye lesafire; ngaphezu komfanekiselo wetrone kwabakho umfanekiselo ongathi yimbonakalo yomntu phezu kwayo ngaphezulu.
127Ndabona ke, ngathi yimbonakalo yegolide evuthiweyo, ngathi yimbonakalo yomlilo, ngaphakathi kwayo nangeenxa zonke kuyo, kwathabathela embonakalweni yesinqe kwenyusa; kwathabathela embonakalweni yesinqe kwehlisa, ndabona ke ngathi yimbonakalo yomlilo, kumhlophe ke ngeenxa zonke.
128Ngathi yimbonakalo yomnyama obakhoyo efini mini ngemvula, yabe injalo imbonakalo yobumhlophe ngeenxa zonke. Leyo yimbonakalo yomfanekiselo wobuqaqawuli bukaYehova. Ndabona ke, ndawa ngobuso, ndaliva izwi lothethayo.
21Wathi kum, Nyana womntu, yima ngeenyawo zakho, ndithethe nawe.
22Kwangena ke uMoya kum, xa abethetha nam, wandimisa ngeenyawo zam, ndamva othetha kum.
23Wathi kum, Nyana womntu, ndikuthuma koonyana bakaSirayeli, kwiintlanga ezingabagwiliki, abagwilikileyo kum; bona nooyise babo bakreqile kum, kwada kwayile mini.
24Oonyana baziingwanyalala ubuso, balukhuni intliziyo. Ndikuthuma kubo; uze uthi kubo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova.
25Ke bona (nokuba bathe beva, nokuba bathe bala, kuba beyindlu eneenkani) baya kwazi ukuba bekukho umprofeti phakathi kwabo.
26Wena ke, nyana womntu, musa ukuboyika, ungawoyiki amazwi abo; nangani usemarhawini nasemeveni, uhleli phezu koonomadudwane, musa ukuwoyika amazwi abo, ungaqhiphuki umbilini bubuso babo, kuba bayindlu eneenkani.
27Wathethe ke kubo amazwi am, nokuba bathe beva, nokuba bathe bala; ngokuba baneenkani.
28Wena ke, nyana womntu, yiva endikuthethayo kuwe; ungabi nankani, njengale ndlu ineenkani; yakhamisa, udle endikunikayo.
29Ndabona, naso isandla solulelwe kum; nantso kuso incwadi esongwayo.
210Wayitwabulula phambi kwam; yaye ke ibhaliwe ngaphakathi nangaphandle, kubhalwe kuyo izimbonono, nezikhwino, nezimema.
31Wathi ke kum, Nyana womtu, kudle okufumanayo yidle le ncwadi isongwayo, uye uthethe kwindlu kaSirayeli.
32Ndawuvula ke umlomo wam, wandidlisa loo ncwadi isongwayo;
33wathi kum, Nyana womntu, dlisa isisu sakho, uzalise umbilini wakho ngaloo ncwadi isongwayo ndikunikayo. Ndayidla ke, yaba nencasa emlonyeni wam, njengobusi.
34Wathi kum, Nyana womntu, hamba uye kwindlu kaSirayeli, uthethe kubo ngamazwi am.
35Ngokuba akuthunyelwa kubantu abantetho inzulu, abalulwimi lunzima; uthunyelwa kwindlu kaSirayeli.
36Andikuthumeli kwizizwe ezininzi, ezintetho inzulu, ezilulwimi lunzima, ezimazwi ungaweviyo; ndikuthumele kuzo ezi zinokukuphulaphula zona.
37Ke indlu kaSirayeli ayiyi kuvuma ukukuphulaphula; ngokokuba abavumi ukundiphulaphula nam; kuba yonke indlu kaSirayeli ilukhuni ibunzi, igogotyile ngentliziyo.
38Yabona, ndibenza lukhuni ubuso bakho, kwanjengobuso babo; ibunzi lakho libe lukhuni, Kwanjengebunzi labo;
39ndilenza libe njengedayiman, elukhuni ngaphezu kweqhwitha, ibunzi lakho. Uze ungaboyiki, ungaqhiphuki umbilini phambi kwabo; ngokuba bayindlu eneenkani.
310Wathi kum, Nyana womntu, onke amazwi am endiya kuwathetha kuwe, wamkelele entliziyweni yakho, uweve ngeendlebe zakho;
311uhambe uye kubathinjwa, koonyana babantu bakowenu, uthethe kubo uthi kubo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova; nokuba bathe beva, nokuba bathe bala.
312Wandifunqula uMoya, ndeva ngasemva kwam isandi sendudumo enkulu, sisithi, Mabubongwe ubuqaqawuli bukaYehova, endaweni yabo.
313Kananjalo ndeva nesandi samaphiko ezinto eziphililileyo, elo lifikelela kwelo, nesandi seevili ngakuzo, nesandi sendudumo enkulu.
314Wandifunqula uMoya, wandisusa; ndahamba ndikrakra bubushushu bomoya wam. Saye ke isandla sikaYehova siphezu kwam, siqinile.
315Ndafika ke eTelabhibhi, kubathinjwa ababehleli emlanjeni oyiKebhare, apho babehleli khona; ndahlala phantsi khona iintsuku zasixhenxe, ndimangalisiwe, phakathi kwabo.
316Kwathi ekupheleni kweentsuku ezisixhenxe, kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
317Nyana womntu, ndikwenze umboniseli kwindlu kaSirayeli; live ke ilizwi emlonyeni wam, ubavuselele ngokuvela kum.
318Xa ndithi kongendawo, Inene, uya kufa; usuke wena ungamvuseleli, ungathethi ukuze umvuselele ongendawo, ukuze aphume endleleni yakhe engendawo, aphile; wofa ongendawo lowo ngobugwenxa bakhe, kodwa lona igazi lakhe ndolibiza esandleni sakho.
319Wena ke, xa uthe wamvuselela ongendawo, akabuya endleleni yakhe, endleleni yakhe engendawo: wofa ngobugwenxa bakhe, kodwa wena uwuhlangule umphefumlo wakho.
320Ke, lakubuya ebulungiseni balo ilungisa, lenze ngobugqwetha, ndibeke isikhubekiso phambi kwalo; lofa lona; xa uthe akwalivuselela, lofa ngenxa yesono salo, bungakhunjulwa ubulungisa balo elabenzayo; kodwa lona igazi lalo ndolibiza esandleni sakho.
321Wena ke, xa uthe walivuselela ilungisa, ukuba lingoni ilungisa, alona ke: lophila ngokuba livuselelwe, ke wena uwuhlangule umphefumlo wakho.
322Sabakho apho isandla sikaYehova phezu kwam, wathi kum, Suk’ ume, phuma uye entilini, ndithethe nawe khona.
323Ndesuka ndema, ndaphuma ndaya entilini; nanko ke, kumi khona ubuqaqawuli bukaYehova obunjengobuqaqawuli obuya ndabubonayo ngasemlanjeni oyiKebhare; ndawa ngobuso.
324Kwafika uMoya kum, wandimisa ngeenyawo zam, wathetha nam, wathi, Yiya uzivalele endlwini yakho.
325Wena ke, nyana womntu, yabona, baya kukufaka izintya, bakubophe ngazo, ukuze ungaphumi uye phakathi kwabo.
326Ndiya kulunamathelisa ulwimi lwakho ekhuhlangubeni lakho, ube sisidenge, ungabi yindoda eyohlwayayo kubo; ngokuba bayindlu eneenkani.
327Ndakuthetha nawe, ndowuvula umlomo wakho, uthi ke kubo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ovayo makeve, owalayo makale; ngokuba bayindlu eneenkani.
41Wena ke, nyana womntu, thabatha isitena, usibeke phambi kwakho, ukrole umzi kuso, iYerusalem;
42uwungqinge, uwakhele iinqaba zokubonisela, uwufumbele udonga lokungqinga; uwenzele iminquba, umisele izinto zokutyhomfa iindonga ngeenxa zonke.
43Wena ke, thabatha ipani yesinyithi, uyimise ibe ludonga lwesinyithi phakathi kwakho nomzi lowo; ububhekise ubuso bakho kuwo, ube selungqingweni wona, uwungqinge wena. Ngumqondiso lo kwindlu kaSirayeli.
44Wena ke, lala ngecala lakho lasekhohlo, ububeke ubugwenxa bendlu kaSirayeli phezu kwalo: ngangenani leentsuku oya kulala ngalo, uya kubuthwala ubugwenxa babo.
45Kuba iminyaka yobugwenxa babo ndiyenza ukuba kuwe ibe ngangenani leentsuku, iintsuku ezimakhulu mathathu anamanci asithoba; uya kubuthwala ubugwenxa bendlu kaSirayeli.
46Uya kuthi, wakuba uzifezile ezo, ulale okwesibini ngecala lakho lasekunene, ubuthwale ubugwenxa bendlu kaYuda iintsuku ezimashumi mane; ndikwenzela usuku lube ngumnyaka, usuku lube ngumnyaka.
47Uze ke ububhekise ubuso bakho elungqingweni lweYerusalem, ingalo yakho ihlutyiwe, uprofetele kuyo.
48Yabona, ndikufaka izintya, ukuze ungaguqukeli kwelinye icala, ude uzigqibe iintsuku zokungqinga kwakho.
49Wena ke, thabatha ingqolowa, nerhasi, neembotyi, neentlumayo, namazimba, nespelete, uzigalele ezo zinto sityeni sinye, uzenzele wena isonka; ngokwenani leentsuku olala ngecala lakho, uya kusidla iintsuku ezimakhulu mathathu anamanci asithoba.
410Ukudla kwakho oya kukudla koba ngokomlinganiselo, iishekele ezimashumi mabini ngosuku; uya kusidla amaxesha ngamaxesha.
411Namanzi wowasela ngomlinganiselo, isahlulo sesithandathu sehin; uya kusisela amaxesha ngamaxesha.
412Uya kusidla ngokwesonka esiliqebengwana serhasi, usoje emehlweni abo ngeengqatha eziphuma emntwini.
413Wathi uYehova, Oonyana bakaSirayeli baya kwenjenjalo ukusidla siyinqambi ezintlangeni, endiya kubagxothela kuzo.
414Ndathi, Awu! Nkosi Yehova! Yabona, umphefumlo wam awuzanga wenziwe inqambi; into ezifeleyo neqwengiweyo andizanga ndiyidle, kwasebuncinaneni bam unanamhla; akufikanga nyama iyimbozisa emlonyeni wam.
415Wathi kum, Uyabona, ndikunika amalongo enkomo esikhundleni seengqatha zomntu; soje kuwo isonka sakho.
416Wathi kum, Nyana womntu, yabona, ndiya kuwaphula umsimelelo osisonka eYerusalem, basidle isonka ngomlinganiselo, benesithukuthezi; bawasele amanzi ngomlinganiselo, bemangalisiwe;
417ukuze baswele isonka namanzi, bamangalisane, bangcungcutheke ebugwenxeni babo.
51Wena ke, nyana womntu, thabatha ikrele elibukhali, libe sisitshetshe sokuguya, ulihambise entlokweni yakho nasesilevini sakho, uthabathe isikali sokulinganisela, uzahlule iinwele.
52Esinye isahlulo sesithathu uze usitshise ngomlilo esazulwini somzi, zakuzaliseka iintsuku zongqingo; uthabathe nesinye isahlulo sesithathu, uxabele ngekrele ngeenxa zonke kuso; nesinye isahlulo sesithathu usichithachithe emoyeni, ndirhole ikrele emva kwazo.
53Uze uthabathe kuzo zibe mbalwa, uzibophe esondweni lengubo yakho;
54ubuye uthabathe kuzo, uziphose emlilweni, uzitshise ngomlilo. Khona apho kuyo kuphuma umlilo, uye kuyo yonke indlu kaSirayeli.
55Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Le Yerusalem ndiyimise esazulwini seentlanga, amazwe angeenxa zonke kuyo.
56Ke iwaphikisile ngokungendawo amasiko am ngaphezu kweentlanga, nemimiselo yam ngaphezu kwamazwe angeenxa zonke kuyo; ngokuba bawacekisile amasiko am, abahamba ngemimiselo yam.
57Ngako oko, itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ngenxa enokuba nangxola ngaphezu kweentlanga ebezingeenxa zonke kuni, anahamba ngemimiselo yam, anawenza amasiko am, anenza nangolwamasiko eentlanga ebezingeenxa zonke kuni:
58ngako oko, itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabona, mna, ewe mna, ndikuchasile; ndiya kwenza izigwebo esazulwini sakho emehlweni eentlanga;
59ndenze kuwe endingazanga ndikwenze, endingayi kubuya ndikwenze okunjalo, ngenxa yamasikizi akho onke.
510Ngako oko ooyise baya kudla oonyana esazulwini sakho, oonyana badle ooyise; ndenze izigwebo, ndiwachithachithe onke amasalela akho emimoyeni yonke.
511Ngako oko, itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ndihleli nje, inyaniso, ngenxa enokuba ingcwele yam uyenze inqambi ngeento zakho zonke ezinezothe, nangamasikizi akho onke, nam ndiya kulisusa iliso lam, lingabi nanceba, ndingacongi nam.
512Isahlulo sesithathu kuwe siya kufa yindyikitya yokufa, siphele nayindlala esazulwini sakho; esinye isahlulo sesithathu siwe likrele ngeenxa zonke kuwe; esinye isahlulo sesithathu ndisichithachithe emimoyeni yonke, ndirhole ikrele emva kwabo.
513Wophelela ke kubo umsindo wam, ndibupholisele kubo ubushushu bam, ndithuthuzeleke; bazi ukuba mna Yehova ndithethe ndinekhwele, ekubuphleleliseleni ubushushu bam kubo.
514Phezu koko ndokwenza ube linxuwa nesingcikivo ezintlangeni ezingeenxa zonke kuwe, emehlweni abo bonke abadlulayo.
515Uya kuba sisingcikivo nesinyeliso, ube sisithethiso nommangaliso kwiintlanga ezingeenxa zonke kuwe, ekwenzeni kwam izigwebo kuwe ngomsindo nangobushushu, nangezohlwayo zobushushu; mna Yehova ndithethile:
516nasekuzithumeni kwam kuwe iintolo ezimbi zendlala, ezizezolonakaliso, endiya kuzithuma ukuze zinonakalise. Ndiya kuyandisa indlala phezu kwenu, ndiwaphule umsimelelo asisonka kuni;
517ndithume phezu kwenu indlala namarhamncwa, akuhluthe abantwana, ifikelele kuwe indyikitya yokufa negazi, ndikuzisele ikrele; mna Yehova ndithethile.
61Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
62Nyana womntu, bhekisa ubuso bakho ezintabeni zakwaSirayeli, uprofetele kuzo,
63uthi, Yivani, nina zintaba zakwaSirayeli, ilizwi leNkosi uYehova. Itsho iNkosi uYehova kwiintaba nakwiinduli, kwizihlambo nakwimifula, ukuthi, Yabonani, ndinizisela ikrele, ndizidilize iziganga zenu.
64Ziya kuba ngamanxuwa izibingelelo zenu, zaphulwe izithixo zenu zelanga; ndibakhahlele ababuleweyo benu phambi kwezigogo zenu.
65Ndozibeka izidumbu zoonyana bakaSirayeli phambi kwezigodo zabo, ndiwachithachithe amathambo enu ngeenxa zonke ezibingelelweni zenu.
66Imizi yoba ngamanxuwa ezindaweni zonke zokuhlala kwenu, zichithakale iziganga; ukuze zichithakale zibe ngamanxuwa izibingelelo zenu, zaphulwe ziphele izigodo zenu, zigawulwe izithixo zenu zelanga, icinywe imisebenzi yenu.
67Uya kuwa obuleweyo esazulwini senu; nazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
68Ndiya kushiya amasalela, ngokuthi kubekho kuni abasindileyo ekreleni phakathi kweentlanga, ekuchithwachithweni kwenu emazweni.
69Abasindileyo benu baya kundikhumbula phakathi kweentlanga abathinjelwe kuzo, xa ndithe ndayaphula intliziyo yabo ehenyuzayo, eyemkayo kum, namehlo abo abehenyuza ngokulandela izigodo zabo; bakruquke bububi ababenzileyo ngokusingisele emasikizini abo onke.
610Baya kwazi ukuba ndinguYehova; andifumane ndathetha ndathi, Ndiya kubenza obu bubi kubo.
611Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Betha esandleni sakho, ungqishe ngonyawo lwakho, uthi, Yeha! ngenxa yawo onke amasikizi amabi endlu kaSirayeli; kuba baya kuwa likrele, nayindlala, nayindyikitya yokufa.
612Okude uya kufa yindyikitya yokufa, okufuphi awe likrele, nosale walondolozwa afe yindlala; ndibuphelelisele kubo ubushushu bam.
613Niya kwazi ukuba ndinguYehova, bakuba ababuleweyo benu bephakathi kwezigodo zenu ngeenxa zonke ezibingelelweni zenu, ezindulini zonke eziphakamileyo, ezincotsheni zonke zeentaba, naphantsi kwemithi yonke eluhlaza, naphantsi kwemiterebhinti ethe shinyi, ezindaweni ababenikela kuzo ivumba elithozamisayo kwizigodo zabo zonke.
614Ndosolula isandla sam phezu kwabo; ndilenze ilizwe kube senkangala yakwankangala, ngaphezu kwentlango yakwaDibhelata, ezindaweni zonke zokuhlala kwabo; bazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
71Kananjalo kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
72Wena, wena ke nyana womntu, itsho iNkosi uYehova kumhlaba wakwaSirayeli ukuthi, Isiphelo, isiphelo siwafikele amasondo omane elizwe.
73Kaloku isiphelo sikufikele; ndiya kuwukhuphela umsindo wam kuwe, ndikugwebe ngokweendlela zakho, ndiwabeke phezu kwakho amasikizi akho onke.
74Aliyi kuba nanceba kuwe iliso lam, ndingakucongi; ke ndiya kukuzisela iindlela zakho, abe sesazulwini sakho amasikizi akho; nazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
75Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ububi, ububi obubodwa; yabonani, buyeza.
76Kuza isiphelo, isiphelo sona siyeza, sikuvukele wena; yabona siyeza.
77Uyakuzela umjojo, mmi welizwe eli; liyeza ixesha, isondele imini; kusisaqunge, akungamayeyeye emihlali ezintabeni.
78Ngoku kwakufuphi nje ndiya kuthulula phezu kwakho ubushushu bam, ndiwuphelelisele kuwe umsindo wam, ndikugwebe ngokweendlela zakho, ndiwabeke phezu kwakho onke amasikizi akho.
79Aliyi kuba nanceba kuwe iliso lam, ndingakucongi; ke ndiya kuwabeka phezu kwakho ngokweendlela zakho amasikizi akho phakathi kwakho; nazi ukuba mna Yehova ndingobethayo.
710Nantso imini! Nantso, ifikile! Uphuma umjojo, luphuma amathupha uswazi, kuyatyatyamba ukukhukhumala.
711Ugonyamelo luphakame lwaba luswazi lokungendawo; akuyi kubakho namnye kubo osalayo, kungabikho nto kwingxokolo yabo, kungabikho nto kwintabalala yabo; kungabikho njuze isalayo kubo.
712Lifikile ixesha, isondele imini; othengayo makangavuyi, othengisayo makangenzi sijwili; ngokuba ukuvutha komsindo kuyayizela yonke ingxokolo yakhona.
713Ngokuba othengisayo akayi kubuyela entweni abethengise ngayo, nokuba ubesadla ubomi phakathi kwabadla ubomi; ngokuba umbono ongengxokolo yonke yakhona awuyi kubuya umva; kungabikho bani ubomelezayo ubomi bakhe ebugwenxeni bakhe.
714Bavuthela isigodlo, balungisa konke; kodwa akukho namnye oya ekulweni; ngokuba ubushushu bam buyizele ingxokolo yabo yonke.
715Ngekrele ngaphandle, ngendyikitya yokufa nangendlala ngaphakathi: osendle uya kufa likrele, ophakathi komzi adliwe yindlala nayindyikitya yokufa.
716Ke abasindileyo kubo bosinda, babe sezintabeni njengamavukuthu asemifuleni, bedumzela bonke bephela, elowo edumzela ngobugwenxa bakhe.
717Zonke izandla ziya kuwa, onke amadolo aye angabi namandla;
718babhinqe ezirhwexayo, bagutyungelwe kukududuzela, ebusweni bonke ibe kukudana, iintloko zabo zonke zibe ziinkqayi.
719Isilivere yabo baya kuyiphosa ezitratweni, negolide yabo ibe yinto engcolileyo kubo. Isilivere yabo negolide yabo ayiyi kuba nako ukubahlangula ngemini yokuphuphuma komsindo kaYehova; abayi kuwuhluthisa ngayo umphefumlo wabo, nombilini wabo bangawuzalisi ngayo; ngokuba yaba sisikhubekiso sokuba babe gwenxa.
720Isivatho sabo esinobukhazikhazi basimisela ikratshi, benza ngaso imifanekiso yabo engamasikizi, enezothe; ngenxa yoko ndiyenze yayinto engcolileyo kubo.
721Ndiya kuyinikela esandleni sabasemzini ukuba iphangwe, nakwabangendawo behlabathi ibe lixhoba, bayihlambele;
722ndibususe ubuso bam kubo, bayihlambele ingqwebo yam; bafike abatyhobozi, bayihlambele.
723Yenza umxokelelwane, ngokuba ilizwe liliphalaza igazi elimsulwa, nomzi uzele lugonyamelo.
724Ndozisa abanobubi basezintlangeni, bazihluthe izindlu zabo, ndiliphelise ikratshi labanamandla, zihlanjelwe iingcwele zabo.
725Kuyafika ukuxhalaba; bafuna uxolo, alukho.
726Kuza umeyeliselo phezu komeyeliselo, kubekho udaba phezu kodaba, bafune umbono kumprofeti, ke umyalelo utshabalale ungabikho kumbingeleli, neqhinga kumadoda amakhulu.
727Ukumkani uya kwenza isijwili, nesikhulu sambathe ummangaliso, ziyekelele izandla zabantu belizwe eli. Ndiya kwenza kubo ngokwendlela yabo, ndibagwebe ngokwezigwebo zabo; bazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
81Ke kaloku kwathi ngomnyaka wesithandathu, ngenyanga yesithandathu, ngolwesihlanu enyangeni leyo, ndihleli endlwini yam, namadoda amakhulu akwaYuda ehleli phambi kwam, sawa phezu kwam khona isandla seNkosi uYehova.
82Ndabona, nantso into efana nendoda ukubonakala kwayo; kuthabathele esinqeni sayo kwehlisa, kubonakala ingumlilo; kuthabathele esinqeni sayo kunyuse, ngathi kukubonakala kokukhazimla, ngathi yimbonakalo yegolide evuthiweyo.
83Wolula into emilise okwesandla, wandibamba ngesihlwitha sentloko yam; umoya wandifunqula ndaba phakathi komhlaba nezulu. Wandisa eYerusalem ngemibono kaThixo, ekungeneni kwesango lentendelezo ephakathi, elibheke ngasentla, apho bekuhleli khona umfanekiso wobukhwele okhweletisayo.
84Nabo ke bukhona ubuqaqawuli bukaThixo kaSirayeli, bunjengombono endawubonayo entilini leyo.
85Wathi kum, Nyana womntu, khawuphakamise amehlo akho, ukhangele ngasentla. Ndawaphakamisa ke amehlo am, ndakhangela ngasentla: nanko ngasentla kwesango lesibingelelo kukho loo mfanekiso wobukhwele usekungeneni kwalo.
86Wathi kum, Nyana womntu, uyakubona na abakwenzayo? Ngamasikizi amakhulu la, iwenzayo apha indlu kaSirayeli, ukuze ndikhwelele kude nengcwele yam; usaya kubuya ubone amasikizi amakhulu kunala.
87Wandisa ke ekungeneni kwentendelezo; ndabona, nango umngxuma eludongeni.
88Wathi kum, Nyana womntu, khawugqobhoze eludongeni. Ndagqobhoza ke eludongeni, nanko kukho umnyango.
89Wathi kum, Yiza, ubone amasikizi amabi abawenzayo apha.
810Ndangena, ndabona: nanzo zonke izinto ezimilise okwesinambuzane nenkomo, izinto ezinezothe, nezigodo zonke zendlu kaSirayeli, zikroliwe eludongeni ngeenxa zonke.
811Kumi phambi kwazo amadoda angamashumi asixhenxe kumadoda amakhulu endlu kaSirayeli, noYazaniya unyana kaShafan emi phakathi kwawo, iyileyo iphethe ngesandla isiqhumiselo, kunyuka ivumba lelifu lokuqhumisela.
812Wathi kum, Nyana womntu, ukubonile na akwenzayo emnyameni amadoda amakhulu endlu kaSirayeli, iyileyo ezingontsini zayo ezinemifanekiso? ngokuba esithi, uYehova akasiboni, uYehova ulilahlile ilizwe.
813Wathi kum, Usaya kubuya ubone amasikizi awenzayo amakhulu kunala.
814Wandisa ekungeneni kwesango lendlu kaYehova elingasentla; nanko kuhleli abafazi apho, belilela uTamuzi.
815Wathi kum, Ubonile na, nyana womntu? Usaya kubuya ubone amasikizi awenzayo amakhulu kunala.
816Wandisa entendelezweni ephakathi yendlu kaYehova: nanko, ekungeneni etempileni kaYehova, phakathi kwevaranda nesibingelelo, kukho amadoda angathi angamashumi amabini anamahlanu, eyinikele umva itempile kaYehova, ubuso bawo bubheke empumalanga; aqubuda kwilanga, ebheke empumalanga.
817Wathi kum, Ubonile na, nyana womntu? Kuncinane na kwindlu kaYuda ukuwenza la masikizi bawenzayo apha, ukuba ke balizalise ilizwe nangogonyamelo, babuye bandiqumbise? Nabo, besisa isebe lomdiliya emathatheni abo.
818Nam ndiya kwenza ngobushushu; aliyi kuba nanceba iliso lam, ndibaconge; nokuba badanduluke ezindlebeni zam ngezwi elikhulu, andiyi kubeva.
91Wabiza ngelizwi elikhulu ezindlebeni zam, esithi, Sondelani, baveleli bomzi, elowo ephethe ngesandla izixhobo zakhe zokutshabalalisa.
92Nanko ke, kusiza amadoda amathandathu ngendlela yesango eliphezulu, elikhangele entla, iyileyo iphethe ngesandla izixhobo zayo zokuhlekeza; kukho indoda phakathi kwawo eyambethe ilinen emhlophe, inezinto zokubhala ethangeni layo; eza ke ema ecaleni kwesibingelelo sobhedu.
93Ubuqaqawuli bukaThixo kaSirayeli baye bunyuka, busuka ekerubhini obebuphezu kwayo, baya emnyango wendlu. Wamemeza endodeni eyambethe ilinen emhlophe, enezinto zokubhala ethangeni layo.
94Wathi uYehova kuyo, Canda esazulwini somzi, esazulwini seYerusalem, ubeke uphawu emabunzini amadoda agcunayo, ancwinayo ngenxa yamasikizi onke awenzekayo esazulwini sayo.
95Wathi kwamanye ezindlebeni zam, Candani esazulwini somzi emva kwayo, nixabele; malingabi nanceba iliso lenu, ningabacongi.
96Amaxhego, amadodana nomthinjana, abantwana nabafazi, babulaleni, ukuze batshabalale; ke bonke abantu abanophawu olo, musani ukufika kubo; nize niqalele ke engcweleni yam. Aqala ke ngamadoda amakhulu abephambi kwendlu.
97Wathi ke kuwo, Yenzeni inqambi indlu le, nizizalise iintendelezo ngababuleweyo; phumani niye. Aphuma ke abulala kuwo umzi.
98Kwathi, xa ababulalayo, ndisele mna, ndawa ngobuso, ndakhala, ndathi, Awu! Nkosi Yehova, uya kuwatshabalalisa onke na amasalela amaSirayeli ngokubuthulula ubushushu bakho phezu kweYerusalem?
99Wathi kum, Ubugwenxa bendlu kaSirayeli nobendlu kaYuda bukhulu kakhulu kunene, nelizwe lizele ligazi, nomzi uzele bubugqwetha; ngokuba besithi, UYehova ulilahlile ilizwe, uYehova akaboni.
910Ke nam aliyi kuba nanceba iliso lam, ndibaconge; ndiya kubanika ngokwendlela yabo entlokweni yabo.
911Nantso indoda eyayambethe ilinen emhlophe, ebinezinto zokubhala ethangeni layo, ibuya nelizwi elithi, Ndenze njengoko ubundiwisele umthetho ngako.
101Ndabona, nanko, phezu kwesibhakabhaka esibe siphezu kwentloko yeekerubhi, kunjengelitye lesafire, kubonakala ngathi ngumfanekiso wetrone; wabonakala phezu kwazo uYehova.
102Wathetha kwindoda eyambethe ilinen emhlophe, wathi, Yiya phakathi kweevili ezijikelezayo ngaphantsi kwekerubhi, uzalise izandla zakho ngamalahle omlilo, uwathabathe phakathi kweekerubhi, uwasasaze phezu kwawo umzi. Yangena ndiyibona.
103Ke iikerubhi bezimi ngasekunene kwendlu, ekungeneni kwendoda leyo; ilifu layizalisa intendelezo ephakathi.
104Benyuka ubuqaqawuli bukaYehova, besuka ezikerubhini, baya emnyango wendlu. Yazala indlu lilifu, nentendelezo yazala bubumhlophe bobuqaqawuli bukaYehova.
105Savakala isandi samaphiko eekerubhi, sada saya entendelezweni engaphandle, sinjengezwi loSomandla akuthetha.
106Kwathi, akuyiwisela umthetho indoda eyambethe ilinen emhlophe, esithi, Thabatha umlilo phakathi kweevili ezijikelezayo, phakathi kweekerubhi, yasuka yangena yema ecaleni kweevili.
107Ibe isuka ke ikerubhi, isolule isandla sayo phakathi kweekerubhi, isise emlilweni ophakathi kweekerubhi, iwuthabathe, iwunikele esandleni sowambethe ilinen emhlophe; ebewuthabatha ke aphume.
108Kwabonakala ke ezikerubhini into efana nesandla somntu, phantsi kwamaphiko azo.
109Ndabona, nanzo iivili ezine zisecaleni leekerubhi, ivili enye isecaleni lekerubhi enye, ivili enye isecaleni lekerubhi enye, ukubonakala kweevili ngathi yimbonakalo yelitye lekrizolite.
1010Ngokubonakala kwazo zone bezimfani-nye, kwanga kukho ivili ngaphakathi kwevili.
1011Ekuhambeni kwazo zahamba zaya kumacala azo omane; azajikeleza ekuhambeni kwazo; ngokuba apho sukuba leyo iphambili ibe ibheka khona, zibe ziyilandela, zingajikelezi ekuhambeni kwazo.
1012Ke umzimba wazo wonke, nomhlana wazo, nezandla zazo, namaphiko azo, neevili, zibe zizele ngamehlo ngeenxa zonke; zone bezineevili zazo.
1013Iivili ezo zabizwa ezindlebeni zam, kwathiwa, ziivili ezijikelezayo.
1014Inye ibe inobuso obune: ubuso bokuqala ibubuso bekerubhi, ubuso besibini ibubuso bomntu, obesithathu ibubuso bengonyama, obesine ibubuso bokhozi.
1015Zenyuka iikerubhi; yilaa nto iphilileyo, ndayibonayo emlanjeni oyiKebhare.
1016Ekuhambeni kweekerubhi zahamba iivili ecaleni lazo; nasekuwaphakamiseni kweekerubhi amaphiko azo, ukuba zisuke emhlabeni, azijikanga neevili zazo zimke ecaleni lazo.
1017Ekumeni kwazo zema nazo; ekusukeni kwazo ukuba ziphaphazele, zesuka nazo; ngokuba umoya wento ephilileyo ube ukho kuzo.
1018Baphuma ke ubuqaqawuli bukaYehova, bemka emnyango wendlu, beza kuma phezu kweekerubhi.
1019Iikerubhi zawaphakamisa amaphiko azo, zasuka emhlabeni emehlweni am; ekuphumeni kwazo iivili zazingakuzo. Zema ekungeneni kwesango lendlu kaYehova elisempumalanga, ubuqaqawuli bukaThixo kaSirayeli buphezu kwazo ngaphezulu.
1020Yilaa nto iiphilileyo, ndayibonayo phantsi koThixo kaSirayeli emlanjeni oyiKebhare; ndazi ke ukuba ziziikerubhi.
1021Inye ibe inobuso obune inye ibe inamaphiko amane, imfano yezandla zomntu ingaphantsi kwamaphiko azo.
1022Ke imfano yobuso bazo, ibe ibobaa buso ndabubonayo imlanjeni oyiKebhare, nokubonakala kwazo nazo ngokwazo; zibe zihamba iyileyo iye kwicala elikhangelene nobuso bayo.
111Wandifunqula uMoya, wandisa esangweni lendlu kaYehova langasempumalanga, elibheke empumalanga; nanko, ekungeneni kwesango, kukho amadoda engamashumi amabini anamahlanu. Ndabona phakathi kwawo uYazaniya unyana ka-Azure, noPelatiya unyana kaBhenaya, abathetheli babantu.
112Wathi kum, Nyana womntu, ngawo la amadoda acinga inkohlakalo, aceba amacebo amabi kulo mzi;
113atshoyo ukuthi, Alikasondeli ixesha lokwakha izindlu; lo mzi yimbiza, thina ke siyinyama.
114Ngako oko profetela kuwo, profeta, nyana womntu.
115Wandiwela ke uMoya kaYehova, wathi kum, Yithi, Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Nitshilo nina, ndlu kaSirayeli; nezinto ezithe qatha emoyeni wenu ndiyazazi mna.
116Ndibandisile ababuleweyo benu kulo mzi, nazizalisa izitrato zawo ngababuleweyo.
117Ngako oko itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ababuleweyo benu, ebe nibabeka phantsi phakathi kwawo umzi, bayinyama, wona ke uyimbiza; nina niya kukhutshwa phakathi kwawo.
118Niyaloyika ikrele; ndiya kunizisela ikrele, itsho iNkosi;
119ndinikhuphe phakathi kwawo, ndininikele esandleni sabasemzini, ndizenze izigwebo kuni.
1110Niya kuwa likrele; ndiya kunigweba emdeni wakwaSirayeli; nazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
1111Wona lo mzi awuyi kuba yimbiza kuni, aniyi kuba yinyama nina phakathi kwawo; ndiya kunigweba emdeni wakwaSirayeli,
1112nazi ukuba ndinguYehova; imimiselo yam anihambanga ngayo, namasiko am anawenza; nesuka nenza ngokwamasiko eentlanga ezingeenxa zonke kuni.
1113Kwathi ke ndakuprofeta, wafa uPelatiya unyana kaBhenaya. Ndawa ngobuso bam, ndakhala ngelizwi elikhulu, ndathi, Awu! Nkosi Yehova! Uyawagqibela kuphele na wena amasalela akwaSirayeli?
1114Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
1115Nyana womntu, abazalwana bakho, abazalwana bakho ngamadoda akowenu, nendlu yonke yakwaSirayeli yonke iphela, yona leyo bathi ngayo abemi baseYerusalem, Bakude kuYehova; linikwe thina ilizwe ukuze sime kulo.
1116Ngako oko yithi, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ekubeni ndibakhwelelisele ezintlangeni, ndabaphangalalisa emazweni, ke ndoba yingcwele kubo umzuzwana omncinane kuloo mazwe baye kuwo.
1117Ngako oko yithi, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ndiya kunibutha ezizweni, ndinihlanganise emazweni enilusali kuwo, ndininike umhlaba wakwaSirayeli.
1118Baya kufika kuwo, bazisuse kuwo zonke izinto zawo ezinezothe, namasikizi awo onke.
1119Ndobanika ntliziyo yimbi, ndibeke umoya omtsha ngaphakathi kwenu; ndiyisuse intliziyo yelitye enyameni yabo, ndibanike intliziyo yenyama;
1120ukuze bahambe ngemimiselo yam, bagcine amasiko am bawenze, babe ngabantu bam, mna ndibe nguThixo wabo.
1121Ke bona abantliziyo ihamba ngokwentliziyo yezinto zabo ezinezothe, nezingamasikizi abo, ndiya kubanika ngokwendlela yabo entlokweni yabo; utsho uYehova.
1122Iikerubhi zawaphakamisa amaphiko azo, kwaneevili ezingakuzo; ubuqaqawuli bukaThixo kaSirayeli baba phezu kwazo ngaphezulu.
1123Benyuka ubuqaqawuli bukaYehova, besuka phakathi komzi, bema entabeni engasempumalanga kuwo umzi.
1124UMoya wandifunqula, wandisa kwelamaKaledi kubathinjwa, ndisembonweni ngoMoya kaThixo. Wenyuka wemka kum umbono ebendiwubona.
1125Ndathetha kubathinjwa onke amazwi kaYehova, abendibonisile.
121Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
122Nyana womntu, uhleli phakathi kwendlu eneenkani; banamehlo okubona, ababoni; baneendlebe zokuva, abeva; ngokuba bayindlu eneenkani.
123Wena ke, nyana womntu, zilungiselele iimpahla zemfuduka, ufuduke emini emehlweni abo, ufuduke endaweni yakho, uye ndaweni yimbi emehlweni abo, mhlawumbi bobona; ngokuba bayindlu eneenkani.
124Uze uyikhuphe impahla yakho ngokwempahla yemfuduka emini, emehlweni abo; ke wena uphume ngokuhlwa emehlweni abo, njengokuphuma kwabathinjwa.
125Gqobhoza eludongeni emehlweni abo, uyikhuphe ngakhona.
126Yithwale ngamagxa emehlweni abo, yikhuphe kwakuba mnyama; bugqubuthele ubuso bakho, ungalikhangeli ilizwe; ngokuba ndikwenze isimanga kwindlu kaSirayeli.
127Ndenjenjalo, njengoko ndawiselwa umthetho ngako; ndayikhupha emini impahla yam ngokwempahla yemfuduka; ngokuhlwa ndazigqobhozela eludongeni ngesandla, ndayikhupha kwakuba mnyama, ndayithwala ngamagxa eme hlweni abo.
128Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum kusasa, lisithi,
129Nyana womntu, indlu kaSirayeli, indlu eneenkani, ayitshongo na kuwe ukuthi, Wenza ntoni na?
1210Yithi kubo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Esi sihlabo sisingisele kwisikhulu esiseYerusalem, nakwindlu yonke kaSirayeli, abaphakathi kwayo abathinjiweyo.
1211Yithi, Ndisisimanga kuni; njengoko ndenze ngako, kuya kwenzeka ngokunjalo kubo; baya kufuduswa, bathinjwe.
1212Isikhulu esiphakathi kwabo siya kuyithwala ngamagxa kuthe thsu mnyama, siphume; baya kugqobhoza eludongeni ukuba bayikhuphe ngakhona; siya kugqubuthela ubuso baso sona, kuba singayi kulikhangela ilizwe ngamehlo.
1213Ndiya kuwutwabulula umnatha wam phezu kwaso, sibanjiswe ngumgibe wam, ndisise eBhabheli, ezweni lamaKaledi; ke asiyi kulibona, noko siya kufela khona.
1214Ndiya kukuchithachitha emimoyeni yonke konke esiphahlwe kuko, abancedisi baso namahlelo aso onke, ndirhole ikrele emva kwabo;
1215bazi ukuba ndinguYehova, ekubaphangalaliseni kwam ezintlangeni, ndibachithachithe emazweni.
1216Ndoshiya kubo amadoda ambalwa, asinde ekreleni, nasendlaleni, nasendyikityeni yokufa; ukuze bawabalise amasikizi abo onke ezintlangeni abaye kuzo; bazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
1217Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
1218Nyana womntu, wosidla isonka sakho ungcangcazela, uwasele amanzi akho ugungqa, unesithukuthezi.
1219Wothi ke kubantu belizwe, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ngokusingisele kubemi baseYerusalem, emhlabeni wakwaSirayeli, ukuthi, Isonka sabo bosidla benesithukuthezi, bawasele amanzi abo bemangalisiwe; ukuze ezweni labo kube senkangala, ingabikho inzaliseko yalo ngenxa yogonyamelo lwabo bonke abahleli kulo.
1220Yoba ngamanxuwa imizi emiweyo, kube senkangala elizweni; nazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
1221Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
1222Nyana womntu, uyintoni na lo mzekeliso ninawo emhlabeni wakwaSirayeli, wokuthi, Imihla iyoluka, iyadaka imibono yonke?
1223Ngako oko yithi kubo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ndiya kuwenza uphele lo mzekeliso, bangabi sazekelisa ngawo kwaSirayeli; ke, yithi kubo, Isondele imihla, nesiphelo semibono yonke.
1224Ngokuba akuyi kuba sabakho namnye umbono okhohlakeleyo, nokuvumisa okucengacengayo, phakathi kwendlu kaSirayeli.
1225Ngokuba ndinguYehova, ndiya kuthetha; ilizwi endisukuba ndilithetha liya kwenzeka, lingayi kulibala; ngokuba ngemihla yenu, ndlundini ineenkani, ndithetha ilizwi, ndilenze; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
1226Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
1227Nyana womntu, yabona, indlu kaSirayeli ithi, Umbono awubonayo yena lo, ngowemihla emininzi; uprofetele amaxesha akude.
1228Ngako oko yithi kubo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Akayi kuba salityaziswa onke amazwi am; ilizwi endisukuba ndilithetha liya kwenzeka; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
131Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
132Nyana womntu, profeta uchase abaprofeti bakwaSirayeli abaprofetayo, uthi kwabaprofeta okwentliziyo yabo, Liveni ilizwi likaYehova.
133Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yeha ke, abaprofeti abanobudenge, abalandela owabo umoya, nento abangayibonanga!
134Baba njengeempungutye emanxuweni abaprofeti bakho, Sirayeli.
135Aninyukanga niye emathutyeni, niyibiyele ngodonga indlu kaSirayeli, ukuze nakhe uluhlu lokulwa ngomhla kaYehova.
136Babona into ekhohlakeleyo nokuvumisa okungamanga, abo bathi, Utsho uYehova; uYehova engabathumanga, ukanti balinda ukuqiniswa kwelo lizwi.
137Anibonanga mbono wankohlakalo na, nakuvumisa okungamanga na, nisithi nje, Utsho uYehova; ndingathethanga mna?
138Ngako oko itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ngenxa yokuba nithethe into ekhohlakeleyo, nibona amanga, ngako oko, yabonani, ndinichasile; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
139Isandla sam sichasa abaprofeti ababona into ekhohlakeleyo, bavumise amanga. Abayi kubakho ekucweyweni kwabantu bam, bangabhalwa encwadini yomlibo wendlu kaSirayeli, bangangeni emhlabeni wakwaSirayeli; nazi ukuba ndiyiNkosi uYehova.
1310Ngenxa yokuba, ewe, ngenxa yokuba bebandwendwisile abantu bam, besithi, Luxolo, kungekho luxolo; bathi, bakwakha udonga bona, yabona, abaya balutyabeka ngodaka oluhlephukayo:
1311yithi kwabatyabeka ngodaka oluhlephukayo, Luya kuwa; kuza isiphango esikhukulayo; nina ke, matye esichotho, yiwani; wena moya usisaqhwithi, ovuthuvuthuzayo, qhutha.
1312Xa ke luthe lwawa udonga, akuyi kuthiwa na kuni, Kuphi na ukutyabeka enatyabeka ngako?
1313Ngako oko itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ndiya kuqhuthisa umoya ovuthuvuthuzayo ngobushushu bam; kuze nesiphango esikhukulayo ngomsindo wam, namatye ezichotho ngobushushu, ukuze kugqityelwe kuphele.
1314Ndiya kulugungxula udonga enalutyabeka ngodaka oluhlephukayo, ndiluwise emhlabeni, sityhilekile isiseko salo, luwe, niphelele kweso sithuba salo; nazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
1315Ndobuphelelisela eludongeni ubushushu bam, nakwabatyabeka ngodaka oluhlephukayo, ndithi kuni, Alusekho udonga, abasekho abatyabeki balo,
1316abaprofeti bakwaSirayeli ababeprofeta ngeYerusalem, ababebona umbono woxolo, kungekho luxolo; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
1317Wena ke, nyana womntu, bhekisa ubuso bakho kwiintombi zabantu bakowenu, eziprofeta okweentliziyo zazo.
1318Uze uprofete ngazo, uthi, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yeha ke, abo bathunga izibophelelo ezihlahleni zezandla zonke, benze izigubungelo ezilingene iintloko zonke, ukuze bathiyele imiphefumlo! Nithiyele imiphefumlo yabantu bam, nasindisa eyenu imiphefumlo.
1319Nindihlambele kubantu bam ngenxa yerhasi esutywe ngezandla, nangenxa yamaqhekeza esonka, ukuze nibulale imiphefumlo ebingeyakufa, nisindise imiphefumlo ebingeyakusindiswa, ngamanga enu ebantwini bam abava amanga.
1320Ngako oko itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabonani, ndizichasile izibophelelo zenu, enithiyela ngazo imiphefumlo njengeentaka. Ndiya kuziqhawula ezingalweni zenu, ndiyindulule imiphefumlo, kwaimiphefumlo eniyithiyeleyo njengeentaka.
1321Ndozikrazula izigubungelo zenu, ndibahlangule abantu bam esandleni senu, bangabi saba yinto ethiyelwayo esandleni senu; nazi ukubandinguYehova.
1322Ngenxa enokuba niyenze buhlungu ngobuxoki intliziyo yelungisa, endingalenzanga buhlungu mna; nazomeleza izandla zongendawo, ukuze angabuyi endleleni yakhe embi, asindiswe:
1323ngako oko aniyi kuyibona into ekhohlakeleyo ningabi savumisa nokuvumisa; ngokuba ndiya kubahlangula abantu bam esandleni senu; nazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
141Kwafika kum amadoda akumadoda amakhulu akwaSirayeli, ahlala phantsi phambi kwam.
142Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
143Nyana womntu, la madoda anyuse izigogo zawo ezintliziyweni zawo, amisa isikhubekiso sokuba abe gwenxa phambi kobuso bawo; ndingaquqelwa ndiquqelwe ngawo na?
144Ngako oko thetha nawo, uthi kuwo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Elowo nalowo wasendlwini kaSirayeli, othe wanyusa izigodo zakhe entliziyweni yakhe, wamisa isikhubekiso sokuba abe gwenxa phambi kobuso bakhe, weza kubaprofeti: mna Yehova ndoba ngomphendulayo ngokwam, ngokobuninzi bezigodo zakhe;
145ukuze ndiyixhakamfule indlu kaSirayeli ngentliziyo yabo, ekubeni beshenxile kum bonke bephela ngezigodo zabo.
146Ngako oko yithi kwindlu kaSirayeli, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Buyani nizibuyise ezigodweni zenu, nibubuyise ubuso benu kumasikizi enu onke.
147Ngokuba elowo nalowo wasendlwini kaSirayeli, nowasemzini ophambukele kwaSirayeli, othe wazahlula ekundilandeleni kwakhe, wanyusa izigodo zakhe entliziyweni yakhe, wamisa isikhubekiso sokuba abe gwenxa phambi kobuso bakhe, weza kumprofeti ukuze aquqele kum ngenxa yakhe: mna Yehova ndomphendula ngokwam.
148Ndoyichasa loo ndoda, ndiyiphanzise ibe ngumqondiso nomzekeliso, ndimnqumle ebantwini bam; nazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
149Umprofeti, xa athe warhwebeshwa, wathetha ilizwi, mna Yehova ndimrhwebeshile loo mprofeti: ndosolula isandla sam phezu kwakhe, ndimtshabalalise phakathi kwabantu bam amaSirayeli.
1410Baya kubuthwala ubugwenxa babo; njengoko bunjalo ubugwenxa boquqela kuye, buya kuba njalo ubugwenxa bomprofeti lowo;
1411ukuze indlu kaSirayeli ingabi sandwendwa imke ekundilandeleni kwayo; bangabi sazenza iinqambi ngezikreqo zabo zonke; babe ngabantu bam, ndibe nguThixo wabo; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
1412Kwafika kum ilizwi likaYehova, lisithi,
1413Nyana womntu, xa ilizwe lithe lona kum lameneza ngobumenemene, ndasolula isandla sam phezu kwalo, ndawaphula kulo umsimelelo osisonka, ndathumela kulo indlala, ndanqumla kulo umntu nenkomo;
1414ekho phakathi kwalo la madoda omathathu, ooNowa noDaniyeli noYobhi, wona abeya kuhlangula owawo umphefumlo kuphela ngobawo ubulungisa; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
1415Ndingafanelana ndicandisa amarhamncwa ezweni, alihlutha abantwana, kwaba senkangala kulo, akwabakho unokucanda kulo ngenxa yamarhamncwa lawo;
1416ekho phakathi kwalo loo madoda omathathu: ndihleli nje, itsho iNkosi, ebengayi kuhlangula nanyana nantombi; ebeya kuhlanguleka odwa; ke bekuya kuba senkangala ezweni elo.
1417Nokuba ndithe ndalizisela ikrele elo lizwe, ndathi ikrele malicande kwelo lizwe, ndanqamla kulo umntu nenkomo;
1418ekho phakathi kwalo loo madoda omathathu: ndihleli nje, itsho iNkosi uYehova, ebengayi kuhlangula nyana nantombi; ngokuba ebeya kuhlanguleka wona odwa.
1419Nokuba ndithe ndathumela indyikitya yokufa kwelo zwe, ndathulula ubushushu bam phezu kwalo ngegazi, ukuze ndinqumle kulo umntu nenkomo;
1420bekho phakathi kwalo ooNowa noDaniyeli noYobhi: ndihleli nje, itsho iNkosi uYehova bebengayi kuhlangula nyana nantombi; bona bebeya kuhlangula owabo umphefumlo kuphela ngobabo ubulungisa.
1421Ngokuba itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Kobeka phi na ke, xa ndithe ndathumela eYerusalem zozine izigwebo zam ezibi, ikrele, nendlala, namarhamncwa, nendyikitya yokufa, ukuze kunqumke kuyo umntu nenkomo?
1422Yabonani ke, kuya kusala kuyo abasindileyo, abaya kukhutshwa, abangoonyana neentombi; yabonani, baya kuphuma beze kuni, niyibone indlela yabo neentlondi zabo; nithuthuzeleke ngenxa yobubi endayizisela bona iYerusalem, ngenxa yento yonke endayizisela yona.
1423Baya kunithuthuzela, xa niyibonayo indlela yabo neentlondi zabo; nazi ukuba andifumananga ndikwenze konke endakwenzayo kuyo; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
151Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
152Nyana womntu, umthi womdiliya uyidlula ngantoni na yonke eminye imithi, isebe lomdiliya eliphakathi kwemithi yehlathi?
153Kukha kuthatyathwe umthi yini na kuwo wokusebenza umsebenzi? Kukha kuthatyathwe nesikhonkwane na kuwo, sokuxhoma iimpahla nokuba ziziphi?
154Yabona, ufakwa emlilweni ukuba uwutshise; umlilo utshisa iincam zawo zombini, sirhawuke isibili sawo; wowulungela na ke umsebenzi?
155Yabona, oko ube usewonke, ubungenamsebenzi; wobeka phi na ke ukungabi namsebenzi, xa uthe watshiswa ngumlilo, warhawuka?
156Ngako oko itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Njengomthi womdiliya phakathi kwemithi yehlathi, endiwufaka emlilweni ukuze utshiswe, ndenjenjalo ukubabeka emlilweni abemi baseYerusalem, Ndiya kubachasa;
157baya kuphuma emlilweni, umlilo uya kubatshisa; nazi ukuba ndinguYehova ekubachaseni kwam.
158Ndiya kwenza elizweni kube senkangala, ngenxa yokuba bemenezile ngobumenemene; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
161Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
162Nyana womntu, yazise iYerusalem amasikizi ayo, uthi,
163Itsho iNkosi uYehova kwiYerusalem, ukuthi, Ukuvela kwakho nokuzalwa kwakho kokwasezweni lamaKanan; uyihlo waye engumAmori, unyoko waye engumHetikazi.
164Ukuzalwa kwakho ke, ngemini yokuzalwa kwakho ayinqunyulwanga imfesane yakho, akuhlanjwanga ngamanzi ukuba usuleke, akuhlikihlwanga ngatyuwa, akusongelwanga zisongelweni.
165Akubangakho liso linenceba kuwe, ukuze wenzelwe noko inye kwezo zinto, ngokuba nofefe kuwe; walahlelwa endle ngokucatshukelwa kwakho ngemini yokuzalwa kwakho.
166Ndagqitha kuwe, ndakubona ugqushagqusha egazini lakhe, ndathi kuwe, Usegazini lakho njalo, phila; usegazini lakho njalo, phila!
167Ndakwenza waba yinyambalala, njengokuntshula kwentsimi; wanda, wakhula, wafika entlahleni yezidlele; waphuma amabele, bahluma uboya bakho; waye ke wena uze kanye.
168Ke kaloku ndagqitha kuwe, ndakubona, nalo ixesha lakho lilixesha lothando. Ndatwabulula isondo lengubo yam phezu kwakho, ndabugubungela ubuze bakho; ndakufungela, ndanqophisana nawe, itsho iNkosi uYehova; waba ngowam ke.
169Ke ndakuhlamba ngamanzi, ndakuhlambulula amagazi akho, ndakuthambisa ngeoli.
1610Ndakwambesa ngeengubo ezimfakamfele, ndakunxiba izixathula zesikhumba sehlengezi; ndakujikelisa intloko ngelinen ecikizekileyo, ndakugqubuthela ngesilika.
1611Ndakuvathisa ngesivatho, ndakufaka izacholo ezihlahleni, nemixokelelwane emqaleni wakho.
1612Ndakunika ikhonkco lempumlo, namajikazi ezindlebeni zakho, nesithsaba sokuhomba entloko.
1613Wavatha ke igolide nesilivere, nezambatho zakho zaba zezelinen ecikizekileyo, nezesilika, nezimfakamfele. Wadla umgubo ocoliweyo, nobusi, neoli; waba mhle kakhulu kunene, waya uphumelela ebukumkanini.
1614Lwaphuma udumo lobuhle bakho lwagqiba ilizwe lonke; ngokuba bapheleliseka bona ngobungangamela bam, endabubeka phezu kwakho; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
1615Wesuka wena wakholosa ngobuhle bakho, wahenyuza ngenxa yodumo lwakho; ubuhenyu bakho wabuthululela phezu kwabo bonke abadlulayo, waba ngowabo.
1616Wathabatha ezingutyeni zakho; iziganga wazenzela iintente ezirhwexu, wahenyuza phezu kwazo; into ebe ingafanele kuza, ebe ingafanele kubakho.
1617Wathabatha iimpahla zakho zokuhomba zegolide yam, nezesilivere yam endakunikayo, wazenzela imifanekiso engamadoda, wahenyuza nayo.
1618Wathabatha iingubo zakho ezimfakamfele, wayigubungela ngazo; neoli yam nesiqhumiso sam wasibeka phambi kwayo.
1619Isonka sam endakunikayo, nomgubo ocoliweyo, neoli, nobusi, izinto endakudlisayo zona, wazibeka phambi kwayo, ukuba zibe livumba elithozamisayo. Kwaba njalo; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
1620Wathabatha oonyana bakho neentombi zakho, owazizalela mna, wabingelela ngazo kuyo ukuba idle. Bebubuncinane na ke ubuhenyu bakho,
1621ukuba nje ubasike oonyana bam, ubanikele ngokubacandisa bona emlilweni ngenxa yayo?
1622Emasikizini akho onke, nasebuhenywini bakho, akuyikhumbulanga imihla yobuncinane bakho, oko ubuze kanye, ugqushagqusha egazini lakho.
1623Kwaza kwathi, emva kwezo nto zakho zonke ezimbi (yeha! yeha ke wena! itsho iNkosi uYehova),
1624wazakhela amanqugwala, wazenzela iindawo eziphakamileyo ezitratweni zonke.
1625Emantloko eendlela zonke wazakhela iindawo zakho eziphakamileyo, wabenza ubuhle bakho balisikizi, wayithi qheke imilenze yakho kubo bonke abadlula ngendlela, wabandisa ubuhenyu bakho.
1626Wahenyuza noonyana bamaYiputa, abamelwane bakho abakhulu ngenyama; wabandisa ke ubuhenyu bakho ukuze undiqumbise.
1627Yabona, ndasolula phezu kwakho isandla sam, ndawunciphisa umamkeliso owumiselweyo, ndakunikela elitheni labakuthiyayo, kweleentombi zamaFilisti, ezibe ziyidanele indlela yakho yamanyala.
1628Wahenyuza noonyana baseAsiriya, ngenxa yokuba unganelanga; wahenyuza ke nabo, akwanela noko.
1629Wabandisela ezweni lamaKanan ubuhenyu bakho kwelamaKaledi, akwanela nayiloo nto.
1630Hayi, ukuthamba kwentliziyo yakho! itsho iNkosi uYehova; ukuba wenze zonke ezo zinto, imisebenzi yenkazana ehenyuzayo, esileyo.
1631Ekwakheni kwakho amanqugwala emantloko eendlela zonke, nasekwenzeni kwakho iindawo zakho eziphakamileyo ezitratweni zonke, akubanga njengehenyukazi eli, ngokusuka uwucukuceze umvuzo wobuhenyu.
1632Umfazi okrexezayo wamkela abasemzini, noko angumkamntu.
1633Onke amahenyukazi bawanika izipho; ke wena wazinika zonke izithandane zakho izipho zakho, wazicenga ukuze zize kuwe ngeenxa zonke ekuhenyuzeni kwakho.
1634Wena okwakho ukuhenyuza kuthe kwaphambana nokwamankazana, ngokuthi ingabi nguwe olandelwayo ekuhenyuzeni; ngokuthi urhole wena umvuzo wobuhenyu, ungarholelwa umvuzo wobuhenyu; waba ngophambileyo ke.
1635Ngako oko, henyukazi, live ilizwi likaYehova.
1636Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ngenxa enokuba iphalele imali yakho, batyhileka ubuze bakho ngokuhenyuza kwakho nezithandane zakho, nangenxa yezigodo zonke zamasikizi akho, nangenxa yamagazi oonyana bakho, owabanikelayo kuzo:
1637ngako oko, yabona, ndiya kuzithabatha zonke izithandane zakho owakholisana nazo, nabo bonke owabathandayo, ndawonye nabo bonke owabathiyayo, ndibahlanganise, ndikuchase ngeenxa zonke, ndibutyhile ubuze bakho kubo, babubone ubuze bakho bonke.
1638Ndokugweba ngokugwetywa kwabakrexezikazi nabaphalazi begazi, ndikwenze wena ube ligazi lobushushu nobukhwele.
1639Ndokunikela esandleni sabo, bawagungxule amanqugwala akho, bazidilize iindawo zakho eziphakamileyo, bakuhlube iingubo zakho bazithabathe iimpahla zakho zokuhomba, bakushiye uze kanye.
1640Baya kukunyusela ibandla, bakuxulube ngamatye, bakuxabele ngamakrele abo;
1641bazitshise izindlu zakho ngomlilo, bazenze kuwe izigwebo emehlweni abafazi abaninzi, ndikunqumamise ungabi saba lihenyu, ungabi, sarhola umvuzo wobuhenyu.
1642Ndobupholisela kuwe ubushushu bam, limke ikhwele lam kuwe, ndizole, ndingabi saqumba.
1643Ngenxa enokuba ungayikhumbulanga imihla yobuncinane bakho, wesuka wangqungisana nam kwezi zinto zonke: yabona, nam ndikunika ngokwendlela yakho entlokweni yakho, itsho iNkosi uYehova, ukuze ungenzi manyala angaphezu kwamasikizi akho onke.
1644Yabona, bonke abazekelisi baya kuzekelisa ngawe, besithi, Ifuze unina intombi yakhe.
1645Wena uyintombi yonyoko, odimeleyo yindoda yakhe nabantwana bakhe; wena ungudade woodade benu, abadimeleyo ngamadoda abo nabantwana babo; unyoko ngumHetikazi, uyihlo ngumAmori.
1646Udade wenu omkhulu nguSamari namagxamesi akhe, ehleli ngasekhohlo kwakho; nomsakwenu omncinane kuwe, ehleli ngasekunene kwakho, yiSodom namagxamesi ayo.
1647Akuhambanga ke ngeendlela zabo, wenze ngokwamasikizi abo; ukanti ngomzuzwana wonakalise ngaphezu kwabo ngeendlela zakho zonke.
1648Ndihleli nje, itsho iNkosi uYehova, iSodom umsakwenu, yona namagxamesi ayo, ayenzanga njengoko wenze ngako wena namagxamesi akho.
1649Nabu ke ubugwenxa beSodom umsakwenu; yabe ilikratshi, nokuhlutha sisonka, nokuchulumacha, yona namagxamesi ayo; ayabamba ngesandla abaziintsizana nabangamahlwempu.
1650Babezidla, besenza amasikizi phambi kwam; ndabasusa, ndakukubona oko.
1651NoSamari akonanga ngokwesiqingatha sezono zakho; waye wena uwandisile amasikizi akho ngaphezu kwakhe, wabenza amalungisa odade benu, ngamasikizi akho owenzileyo.
1652Nawe, thwala ke ihlazo lakho, olibalele kodade benu. Ngezono zakho owazenza ngokumasikizi kunabo, ubenze baba ngamalungisa kunawe; dana ke nawe, ulithwale ihlazo lakho; ekubeni ubenze amalungisa oodade benu.
1653Ekukubuyiseni kwam ukuthinjwa kwabo, ukuthinjwa kweSodom namagxamesi ayo, nokuthinjwa koSamari namagxamesi akhe, ndokubuyisa ukuthinjwa okukuthinjwa kwakho phakathi kwabo;
1654ukuze ulithwale ihlazo lakho, uzidanele izinto zonke ozenzileyo, ubathuthuzele.
1655Baya kuthi abasakwenu, iSodom namagxamesi ayo, babuyele kwakwisimo sabo sangaphambili, noSamari namagxamesi akhe babuyele kwakwisimo sabo sangaphambili, nawe namagxamesi akho nibuyele kwakwisimo senu sangaphambili.
1656ISodom umsakwenu ayibanga sifundo emlonyeni wakho ngemini yamakratshi akho;
1657zingekatyhilwa izinto zakho ezimbi, njengasexesheni lesingcikivo samagxamesi akwa-Aram nesangeenxa zonke kuye, samagxamesi amaFilisti, awakucukulayo ngeenxa zonke.
1658Amanyala akho namasikizi akho uwathwele; utsho uYehova.
1659Ngokuba itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ndenza ke kuwe njengoko wenze ngako wena, osidelileyo isifungo, ukuba uwaphule umnqophiso.
1660Ndiya kuwukhumbula mna umnqophiso wam nawe ngemihla yobuncinane bakho, ndikumisele umnqophiso ongunaphakade.
1661Wozikhumbula iindlela zakho, udane ekubamkeleni kwakho oodade benu, abakhulu kunawe kunye nabancinane kunawe; ndikunike babe ziintombi kuwe, noko bengengabomnqophiso wakho.
1662Ndowumisa mna umnqophiso wam nawe, wazi ukuba ndinguYehova;
1663ukuze ukhumbule, udane, ungabi saba nakuvula mlomo ngenxa yehlazo lakho, ekukuxoleleni kwam zonke izinto ozenzileyo; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
171Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
172Nyana womntu, jika iqhina, uzekelise ngomzekeliso kwindlu kaSirayeli, uthi,
173Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi: Ixhalanga elikhulu, elimaphiko makhulu, elintsiba zolukileyo, eliboya buqhamileyo, buchokochoko, leza eLebhanon, lathabatha amantloko omsedare.
174Laqhawula eliphezulu emahlamvini awo, lalisa ezweni lakwaKanan, lalimisa emzini wabarhwebi.
175Lacaphula embewini yelo zwe, layifaka entsimini ehlwayelwayo, layithabatha layisa kumanzi amaninzi, layimisa ngokomngculuba.
176Yahluma, yaba ngumdiliya onabileyo, omfuphi, ukuze amasebe awo asinge kulo, neengcambu zawo zibe phantsi kwalo; waba ngumdiliya ke, wenza amasebe, waqhama amagqabi.
177Kwabakho elinye ixhalanga elikhulu, elimaphiko makhulu, linoboya obuninzi. Nango lo mdiliya unabela ngakulo ngeengcambu zawo, ugobela ngakulo amasebe awo, ukuba liwanyele ezindimeni otyewe kuzo.
178Ubutyelwe entsimini elungileyo wona, ngasemanzini amaninzi, ukuze wenze amasebe, uxakathe iziqhamo, ukuba ube ngumdiliya onguwona unguwo.
179Yithi, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Womila na? Elaa xhalanga aliyi kuzinyothula na iingcambu zawo, lizinqumle iziqhamo zawo, ubune, athi onke amagqabi amatsha okuhluma kwawo abune, kungabi nangangalo inkulu nangabantu baninzi, ukuwususa ezingcanjini zawo?
1710Yabona, khona utyelwe, womila na? Awuyi kubuna ubune na, wakufikelwa lulophu lwasempumalanga? Uya kubunela ezindimeni ohlume kuzo.
1711Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
1712Khawuthi kwindlu eneenkani, Anikwazi na ukuba kuyintoni na oko? Yithi, Yabonani, ukumkani waseBhabheli weza eYerusalem, wamthabatha ukumkani wayo nabathetheli bayo, wabasa kuye eBhabheli.
1713Wathabatha owasembeweni yokumkani, wanqophisana naye, wamfungisa; wathabatha iinjengele zelizwe elo;
1714ukuze bube bubukumkani obuphantsi, ukuze bungaziphakamisi, ukuze awugcine umnqophiso wakhe, ukuze ume wona.
1715Wasuka ke wagwilika kuye ngokuthuma abathunywa bakhe eYiputa, ukuze anikwe amahashe nabantu abaninzi. Woba nempumelelo na? Wosinda na owenze loo nto? Wowaphula umnqophiso, asinde na ke?
1716Ndihleli nje, itsho iNkosi uYehova, inyaniso, endaweni yokumkani owamenza ukumkani, osifungo asidelileyo, omnqophiso awaphuleyo, uya kufela kuyo, esazulwini seBhabheli.
1717UFaro akayi kumnceda ngampi inkulu nangasikhungu sikhulu emfazweni, kwakufunjwa udonga lokungqinga, kwakhiwe inqaba zokubonisela; ukuze inqunyulwe imiphefumlo emininzi.
1718Ekubeni esidelile isifungo, ukuba awaphule umnqophiso, yabona, unike isandla sakhe, waza noko wenza zonke ezi zinto; akayi kusinda.
1719Ngako oko itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ndihleli nje, inyaniso, isifungo sam asidelileyo, nomnqophiso wam awaphuleyo, ndiya kumnika entlokweni yakhe.
1720Ndowutwabulula phezu kwakhe umnatha wam, abanjiswe ngumgibe wam, ndimse eBhabheli, ndimangalelane naye khona ngenxa yomenezo lwakhe, andimenezele ngalo.
1721Baya kuwa likrele bonke abasabileyo bakhe emahlelweni akhe onke, namasalela athiwe saa qhu kwimimoya yonke; nazi ukuba mna Yehova ndithethile.
1722Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Mna ndiya kuthabatha ke ihlamvu emantloko omsedare omde, ndilimise; emahlamvini awo aphezulu ndiya kuqhawula elithambileyo, ndilityale mna entabeni ephakamileyo, ende.
1723Ndiya kulityala ke entabeni ende yakwaSirayeli, linyuse amasebe, lixakathe iziqhamo, libe ngumsedare ongowona unguwo, zihlale phantsi kwawo zonke iintaka zeentlobo ngeentlobo; ziya kuhlala emthunzini wamasebe awo.
1724Iya kwazi yonke imithi yasendle, ukuba mna Yehova ndiwuthobile umthi ophakamileyo, ndiwuphakamisile umthi omfuphi; ndiwomisile umthi omanzi, ndiwuqhamisile umthi owomileyo. Mna Yehova ndithethile, ndenza.
181Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
182Uyintoni na kuni lo mzekeliso, nizekelisa ngawo emhlabeni wakwaSirayeli, nisithi, ooyise badle iidiliya ezimuncu, kwaba buthelezi amazinyo oonyana?
183Ndihleli nje, itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, anisayi kuba sazekelisa ngalo mzekeliso kwaSirayeli.
184Yabonani, yonke imiphefumlo yeyam; umphefumlo woyise unjengomphefumlo wonyana, yeyam yomibini; umphefumlo owonayo, kuya kufa wona.
185Umntu xa athe waba lilungisa, wenza ngokwesiko nangobulungisa;
186akadlela ezintabeni, amehlo akhe akawaphakamisela kwizigodo zendlu yakwaSirayeli; umfazi wommelwane wakhe akamenza inqambi, akasondela kumfazi enomzi;
187akamxinzelela phantsi umntu, wasibuyisa isibambiso sokuboleka kwakhe, akaxhakamfula; wamnika olambileyo isonka sakhe, wamgubungela oze ngengubo;
188akanikela imali ukuba adle abanye ngayo, akathabatha nzala yamboleko; wasibuyisa isandla sakhe ekugqwetheni, wenza ngokwesiko nangenyaniso phakathi kobani nobani;
189wahamba ngemimiselo yam, wagcina amasiko am, ukuba enze ngenyaniso: ulilungisa, inene uya kuphila; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
1810Ke ethe wazala unyana osisigwinta, ophalaza igazi, owenza nokuba inye kwezo zinto,
1811ke yena ezo nto zonke engazenzanga, unyana kananjalo odlela ezintabeni, omenza inqambi umfazi wommelwane wakhe;
1812oluxinzelela phantsi usizana nehlwempu, oxhakamfulayo, ongasibuyisiyo isibambiso; owaphakamisela kwizigodo amehlo akhe, owenza amasikizi;
1813onikela imali ukuba adle abanye ngayo, othabatha inzala yemboleko: wophila na ke loo nyana? Akayi kuphila; wenze onke la masikizi; uya kubulawa afe; igazi lakhe liya kuba phezu kwakhe.
1814Yabonani ke, ethe yena lo wazala unyana, othe wazibona zonke izono zikayise azenzayo, abone ke, angenjenjalo;
1815angadleli ezintabeni, amehlo akhe angawaphakamiseli kwizigodo zendlu kaSirayeli, umfazi wommelwane wakhe angamenzi inqambi;
1816angamxinzeleli phantsi umntu, angabambisi ngesibambiso, angaxhakamfuli; isonka sakhe asinike olambileyo, amgubungele oze ngengubo;
1817abuyise isandla sakhe kolusizana; angadli abanye ngemali, angathabathi nzala yamboleko, wenza ngokwamasiko am, uhamba ngemimiselo yam: lowo unyana akayi kufa ngobugwenxa bukayise; inene uya kuphila.
1818Uyise yena, ngokokuba ecudisile kakubi, exhakamfula umzalwana, wenza okungalungileyo phakathi kwabantu bakowabo, yabonani, uya kufa ngobugwenxa bakhe.
1819Ukanti nithi ke, Kungathuba lini na ukuba unyana angabuthwali ubugwenxa bukavise? Unyana kaloku wenze ngokwesiko nangobulungisa; uyigcinile yonke imimiselo yam, wayenza; inene, uya kuphila.
1820Umphefumlo owonayo, kuya kufa wona wodwa. Unyana akayi kuthwala ubugwenxa bukayise, noyise akayi kubuthwala ubugwenxa bonyana; ubulungisa belungisa buya kuba phezu kwalo, nokungendawo kongendawo kuya kuba phezu kwakhe.
1821Ongendawo ke, xa athe wabuya ezonweni zakhe zonke azenzileyo, wayigcina yonke imimiselo yam, wenza ngokwesiko nangobulungisa, inene, uya kuphila; akayi kufa.
1822Zonke izikreqo zakhe azenzileyo aziyi kukhunjulelwa kuye; ngobulungisa bakhe abenzileyo, uya kuphila.
1823Kumnandi na kanene kum ukufa kongendawo? Itsho iNkosi uYehova. Okumnandi kum asikuko na ukuthi abuye ezindleleni zakhe, aphile?
1824Khona ekubuyeni kwelungisa ebulungiseni balo, lenza ngobugqwetha, ngokwamasikizi awenzileyo ongendawo, lophila na lona? Yonke imisebenzi yalo yobulungisa elayenzayo ayiyi kukhunjulwa; ngenxa yobumenemene balo elimeneze ngabo, nangenxa yezono zalo elone ngazo: ngenxa yezo zinto liya kufa.
1825Ukanti nithi ke, Indlela yeNkosi ayilungelelene. Khanive, ndlu kaSirayeli; indlela yam ayilungelelene, yini na? Asizezenu na iindlela ezingalungeleleneyo?
1826Xa lithe ilungisa labuya ebulungiseni balo, lenza ngobugqwetha, lofa ngezo zinto; lofa ngobugqwetha balo elibenzileyo.
1827Xa athe ongendawo wabuya kokungendawo kwakhe akwenzileyo, wenza ngokwesiko nangobulungisa, yena uya kuwusindisa umphefumlo wakhe.
1828Ekubeni ebonile, wabuya ezikreqweni zakhe zonke azenzileyo, uya kuphila; akayi kufa.
1829Ukanti ithi ke indlu kaSirayeli, Indlela yeNkosi ayilungelelene. Iindlela zam azilungelelene na, ndlu kaSirayeli? Asizezenu na iindlela ezingalungeleleneyo?
1830Ngako oko ndiya kunigweba elowo ngokwendlela yakhe, ndlu kaSirayeli; itsho iNkosi uYehova. Buyani, nizibuyise ezikreqweni zenu zonke, bungabi sisikhubekiso ubugwenxa kuni.
1831Lahlani zonke izikreqo zenu enikreqe ngazo, nizenzele intliziyo entsha nomoya omtsha. Yini na ukuba nife, ndlu kaSirayeli?
1832Ngokuba akumnandi kum ukufa kofayo; itsho iNkosi uYehova. Zibuyiseni ke niphile.
191Wena ke, yenza isijwili ngezikhulu zakwaSirayeli, uthi,
192Uyintoni na unyoko? Ingonyamakazi, ebuthume phakathi kweengonyamakazi, ewondlela amathole ayo phakathi kweengonyama ezintsha.
193Yakhulisa elinye ematholeni ayo, laba yingonyama entsha, lafunda ukuqwenga iinyamakazi; ladla abantu.
194Iintlanga zahlaba umkhosi ngalo, labanjiswa emhadini wazo; zalisa ezweni lamaYiputa, lifakwe amakhonkco.
195Yakubona ingonyamakazi ukuba aliphumeleli, lidakile ithemba layo, yathabatha elinye ematholeni ayo, yalenza ingonyama entsha.
196Lahambahamba phakathi kweengonyamakazi, laba yingonyama entsha, lafunda ukuqwenga iinyamakazi; labadla abantu.
197Labazi abahlolokazi babo, layenza amanxuwa imizi yabo, kwaba senkangala kwilizwe nakwinzaliseko yalo, ngezwi lokubharhula kwalo.
198Iintlanga zaba ngeenxa zonke emazweni, zamisa kulo, zawutwabulula phezu kwalo umnatha wazo, labanjiswa emhadini wazo.
199Zalifaka endlwaneni linamakhonkco zalisa kukumkani waseBhabheli, zalisa ezimboniselweni, ukuze ilizwi lalo lingabi savakala ezintabeni zakwaSirayeli.
1910Unyoko ubenjengomdiliya, otyelwe ngasemanzini, ekuphumleni kwakho, waqhama, wanamasebe amaninzi ngenxa yamanzi amaninzi.
1911Waba namasebe aqinileyo okuba ziintonga zabalawuli. Ubude bawo baphakama baphezulu, phakathi kweengqimba zamafu; wabonakala ekuphakameni kwawo ngobuninzi bamasebe awo.
1912Wanyothulwa ke ngobushushu, wakhahlelwa emhlabeni, ulophu lwasempumalanga lwazomisa iziqhamo zawo; axhuzulwa oma amasebe awo aqinileyo, atsha ngumlilo.
1913Ngoku ke utyelwe entlango, ezweni elingumqwebedu, elomileyo.
1914Kuphume ke umlilo emahlamvini amasebe awo, wazitshisa iziqhamo zawo, akwabakho sebe liqinileyo kuwo, lokuba yintonga yokulawula. Sisijwili ke, saye siya kuba sisijwili.
201Ke kaloku kwathi ngomnyaka wesixhenxe, ngenyanga yesihlanu, ngolweshumi enyangeni leyo, kwafika amadoda, evela kumadoda amakhulu akwaSirayeli, ukuba abuzise kuYehova. Ahlala phantsi phambi kwam.
202Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
203Nyana womntu, thetha namadoda amakhulu akwaSirayeli, uthi kuwo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Nize kubuzisa kum na? Ndihleli nje, unakanye ukuba ndibuzwe nini; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
204Uza kubagweba na, uza kugweba na, nyana womntu? Bazise ke amasikizi ooyise.
205Yithi kubo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ngemini endamnyulayo uSirayeli, endayiphakamiselayo isandla sam imbewu yendlu kaYakobi, endazazisayo kubo ezweni laseYiputa, endabapha kamisela isandla sam, ndisithi, NdinguYehova uThixo wenu:
206ngaloo mini kanye, ndabaphakamisela isandla sam, ukuze ndibakhuphe ezweni laseYiputa, ndibase ezweni endabahlolelayo lona, elibaleka amasi nobusi, liligugu kunamazwe onke.
207Ndathi kubo, Lahlani elowo izinto ezinezothe zamehlo akhe, ningazenzi iinqambi ngezigodo zaseYiputa; ndinguYehova uThixo wenu.
208Basuka baba neenkani kum, abavuma ukundiphulaphula, abazilahla elowo izinto ezinezothe zamehlo akhe, abazishiya izigodo zaseYiputa. Ndathi ke, ndiya kuthulula ubushushu bam phezu kwabo, ndiwuphelelisele kubo umsindo wam phakathi kwelizwe laseYiputa.
209Koko ndenzayo ngenxa yegama lam; ukuze lingahlanjelwa emehlweni eentlanga, ababephakathi kwazo, endazazisa kubo emehlweni azo, ekubakhupheni kwam ezweni laseYiputa.
2010Ndabakhupha ke ezweni laseYiputa, ndabasa entlango;
2011ndabanika imimiselo yam, ndabazisa namasiko am, awothi umntu ewenzile, aphile ngawo.
2012Kananjalo ndabanika iisabatha zam, ukuba zibe ngumqondiso phakathi kwam nabo, ukuze bazi ukuba mna Yehova ndiya bangcwalisa.
2013Indlu kaSirayeli yesuka yaba neenkani kum entlango; abahamba ngemimiselo yam; bawacekisa amasiko am, awothi umntu ewenzile, aphile ngawo; bazihlambela kakhulu iisabatha zam. Ndathi ke, ndiya kuthulula ubushushu bam phezu kwabo entlango, ukuze ndibagqibele.
2014Koko ndenzayo ngenxa yegama lam; ukuze lingahlanjelwa emehlweni eentlanga, endabakhuphayo emehlweni azo.
2015Kananjalo mna ndabaphakamisela isandla entlango, ukuba ndingabasi ezweni endandibanikile, elibaleka amasi nobusi, liligugu kunamazwe onke;
2016ngenxa yokuba bawacekisayo amasiko am, abahamba ngemimiselo yam, bazihlambela iisabatha zam; ngokuba intliziyo yabo yazilandela izigodo zabo.
2017Koko laba nenceba iliso lam kubo, ukuba ndingabatshabalalisi, ndingabagqibeli entlango.
2018Ndathi ke koonyana babo entlango, Musani ukuhamba ngemimiselo yooyihlo, ningawagcini amasiko abo, ningazenzi iinqambi ngezigodo zabo.
2019Mna Yehova ndinguThixo wenu; hambani ngemimiselo yam, niwagcine amasiko am, niwenze;
2020nizingcwalise iisabatha zam, zibe ngumqondiso phakathi kwam nani, ukuze nazi ukuba ndinguYehova uThixo wenu.
2021Basuka oonyana baba neenkani kum; abahamba ngemimiselo yam, abawagcina amasiko am ukuba bawenze, awothi umntu ewenzile aphile ngawo; bazihlambela iisabatha zam. Ndathi ke, ndiya kuthulula ubushushu bam phezu kwabo, ndiphelelisele umsindo wam kubo entlango.
2022Koko ndasibuyisayo isandla sam, ndenza ngenxa yegama lam, ukuba lingahlanjelwa emehlweni eentlanga, endabakhuphayo emehlweni azo.
2023Kananjalo ndabaphakamisela isandla sam entlango, ukuba ndibachithachithe ezintlangeni, ndibaphangalalisele emazweni;
2024ngenxa enokuba bengawenzanga amasiko am, bayicekisayo imimiselo yam, bazihlambela iisabatha zam, amehlo abo alandela izigodo zooyise.
2025Nam ndabamisela imimiselo engabalungeleyo, namasiko abangenakuphila ngawo.
2026Ndabenza iinqambi ngezipho zabo, ekucandiseni kwabo emlilweni yonke into evula isizalo, ukuze ndibaphanzise; ukuze bazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
2027Ngako oko, thetha kwindlu kaSirayeli, nyana womntu, uthi kubo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ooyihlo babuye bandinyelisa nangale nto, ekumenezeni kwabo ababemeneza ngako kum.
2028Kuba xenikweni ndabasayo ezweni endasiphakamiselayo isandla sam sokuba ndibanike lona, basuka bakhangela zonke iinduli ezinde, nemithi yonke ethe shinyi; bayibingelela khona imibingelelo yabo, banikela khona imisondezo yabo equmbisayo, babeka khona ivumba lamadini abo elithozamisayo, bathululela khona iminikelo yabo ethululwayo.
2029Ndathi ke kubo, Esi siganga niya kuso siyintoni na? Igama laso ke kuthiwa, siSiganga, unanamhla.
2030Ngako oko yithi kwindlu kaSirayeli, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Nizenze iinqambi ngendlela yooyihlo, nihenyuze ngokulandela izinto zabo ezinezothe nje;
2031nizenze iinqambi ezigodweni zenu ngokunikela izipho zenu, nangokuba candisa emlilweni oonyana benu nanamhlanje; mna ndingabuzwa nini na, ndlu kaSirayeli? Ndihleli nje, itsho iNkosi uYehova, andiyi kubuzwa nini, nakanye.
2032Loo nto ithe qatha emoyeni wenu, ayiyi kubakho nokubakho: leyo nithi, Siya kuba njengeentlanga, njengemizalwane yamazwe, silungiselele kwimithi namatye.
2033Ndihleli nje, inyaniso, itsho iNkosi uYehova, ngesandla esithe nkqi, nangengalo eyolukileyo, nangobushushu obuthululwayo, ndiya kuba ngukumkani phezu kwenu.
2034Ndonikhupha ezizweni, ndinibuthe emazweni enaphangalaliswa kuwo, ngesandla esithe nkqi, nangengalo eyolukileyo, nangobushushu obuthululwayo,
2035Ndiya kunisa kwintlango yezizwe, ndimangalelane nani, sikhangelane ebusweni;
2036njengoko ndamangalelana nooyihlo kwintlango yelizwe laseYiputa, ndiya kwenjenjalo ukumangalelana nani; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
2037Ndoniphumelisa phantsi kwentonga, ndinibophelele ngomnqophiso;
2038ndibakhethe kuni abagwilikayo nabakreqayo kum. Ndiya kubakhupha ezweni lokuphambukela kwabo; ke akuyi kungena namnye emhlabeni wakwaSirayeli, ukuze nazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
2039Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Nina ke, ndlu kaSirayeli, hambani, nikhonze elowo isigodo sakhe; kodwa emveni koko, inyaniso, niya kundiphulaphula, ningabi salihlambela igama lam elingcwele ngezipho zenu nangezigodo zenu.
2040Ngokuba itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Entabeni yam engcwele, entabeni ende yakwaSirayeli, khona apho iya kundikhonza yonke indlu yakwaSirayeli, yonke iphela ezweni; khona apho baya kuba likholo kum; khona apho ndiya kubiza imirhumo yenu neentlahlela yezipho zenu, entweni yenu yonke eniyingcwalisayo.
2041Niya kuba likholo kum ninevumba elithozamisayo, ekunikhupheni kwam ezizweni; ndinibuthe emazweni enaphangalaliswa kuwo, ndizingcwalisele kuni emehlweni eentlanga;
2042nazi ukuba ndinguYehova, ekuniseni kwam emhlabeni wakwaSirayeli, ezweni endasiphakamisela isandla sam sokuba ndilinike ooyihlo,
2043Niya kuzikhumbula khona iindlela zenu neentlondi zenu zonke, enazenza iinqambi ngazo; nizikruqukele ngokwenu ngenxa yazo zonke izinto ezimbi enizenzileyo;
2044nazi ukuba ndinguYehova, ekuniphatheni kwam ngenxa yegama lam, kungekhona ngokweendlela zenu ezimbi, nangokweentlondi zenu ezibolileyo, ndlu kaSirayeli; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
2045Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
2046Nyana womntu, bhekisa ubuso bakho kwelasezantsi, uwise intetho usingise ezantsi, uprofete ngehlathi lelizwe lasezantsi;
2047uthi kwihlathi lelizwe lasezantsi, Live ilizwi likaYehova; itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabona, ndifaka umlilo kuwe, utshise kuwe wonke umthi omanzi, nawo wonke umthi owomileyo. Akuyi kucima dangatye lamadangatye; borhawuka ubuso babantu bonke, kuthabathele ezantsi kuse entla,
2048Yobona yonke inyama, ukuba mna Yehova ndiwubasile; awuyi kucinywa.
2049Ndathi, Awu! Nkosi Yehova, bathi ngam lo, Akenzi ngemizekeliso kodwa na?
211Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
212Nyana womntu, bhekisa ubuso kwiYerusalem, uwise intetho ezingcweleni, uprofete ngomhlaba wakwaSirayeli.
213Yithi kumhlaba wakwaSirayeli, Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Yabona, ndikuchasile; ndirhola ikrele lam esingxotyeni salo, ndinqumle kuwe ilungisa nongendawo.
214Ngenxa ke enokuba ndiya kunqumla kuwe ilungisa nongendawo, ngako oko liya kuphuma ikrele lam esingxotyeni salo, liye enyameni yonke, lithabathele ezantsi lise entla;
215yazi yonke inyama, ukuba mna Yehova ndilirholile ikrele lam esingxotyeni salo; alisayi kuba sabuya libuye.
216Wena ke, nyana womntu, ncwina; uqhekeke amanqe, uncwine nangobukrakra, emehlweni abo.
217Kothi, xa bathe kuwe, Uncwinelani na? uthi, Kungenxa yeendaba, ngokuba zisiza; kuya kunyibilika zonke iintliziyo, ziwe zonke izandla, incame yonke imimoya, amadolo onke angabi namandla. Yabona, ziyeza, ziya kubakho; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
218Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
219Nyana womntu, profeta uthi, Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Ikrele, ikrele liloliwe, likhazimlisiwe nokukhazimliswa.
2110Liloliwe ukuze lixhele libulale; likhazimlisiwe ukuze limenyezele njengombane. Ngesiba nemihlali sithi, Intonga yonyana wam le icekisa imithi yonke na?
2111Linikelwe ukuba likhazimliswe, liphathwe ngesandla; liloliwe ikrele elo, likhazimlisiwe elo, ukuba linikelwe esandleni sombulali.
2112Khala ubhomboloze, nyana womntu; ngokuba lithene mbende nabantu bam, lithene mbende nezikhulu zonke zakwaSirayeli; zizisulu zekrele kunye nabantu bam; ngako oko tywakraza ethangeni.
2113Ngokuba sekucikidiwe; hi, kothini na ukuba nentonga ecekisayo? Akuyi kuba njalo; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
2114Wena ke nyana womntu, profeta, utywakraze izandla; liphindwe okwesithathu ikrele, ikrele lababuleweyo; likrele lobuleweyo, lalowo mkhulu, elibarawulayo.
2115Ukuze intliziyo ithe amandla, zande izikhubekiso, ndiwamisele amasango abo onke ikrele elijikajikayo. Awu! Lenzelwe ukuba libe njengombane, lithiwe rhuthu ukuba libulale.
2116Tyekela ngasekunene, guqukela ekhohlo, apho lubhekisa khona uhlangothi lwakho.
2117Nam ndiya kuzitywakraza izandla zam, ndibupholise ubushushu bam, mna Yehova ndithethile.
2118Kwafika kum ilizwi likaYehova, lisithi,
2119Wena ke, nyana womntu, zimisele iindlela ezimbini, ukuze lizengazo ikrele lokumkani waseBhabheli; maziphume zweni-nye zombini, ukrole umalathiso, uwukrole emantloko endlela yomzi.
2120Misa indlela, ukuze ikrele lifike eRabha yoonyana baka-Amon, nakwelakwaYuda, eYerusalem enqatyisiweyo.
2121Kuba ukumkani waseBhabheli umise ekwahlukaneni kweendlela, emantloko eendlela zombini, ukuze ahlabe isihlabo; uhlukuhla iintolo, ubuza kwimilondekhaya, ukhangela esibindini.
2122Esandleni sakhe sokunene isihlabo sihlabe iYerusalem, ukuze kumiswe izinto zokutyhomfa, uhlatywe umkhosi wokubulala, kuphakanyiswe izwi lokuduma, kumiswe izinto zokutyhomfa emasangweni, kufunjwe udonga lokungqinga, kwakhiwe iinqaba zokubonisela.
2123Soba njengesihlabo esikhohlakeleyo kubo emehlweni abo, bafungelwe izifungo bona; ke yena wokhumbuza ubugwenxa, ukuze baxhakamfulwe.
2124Ngako oko itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ngenxa yokukhumbuza kwenu ubugwenxa benu, ekutyhilekeni kwezikreqo zenu, ukuze zibonakale izono zenu ezintlondini zenu zonke; ngenxa yokukhunjulwa kwenu, niya kuxhakamfulwa ngesandla.
2125Wena ke, mbulawa ungendawo, sikhulu sakwaSirayeli, umini yakho ifikileyo ngexesha lobugwenxa bokuphela, itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi,
2126Luya kususwa unkontsho, sithulwe nesithsaba; oko koko, namhla kunamhla; okuthobekileyo kuya kuphakanyiswa, okuphakamileyo kuya kuthotywa.
2127Ndiya kukuphenula ndikuphenule, ndikuphenule; kwanako oko akuyi kuba kuko, koda kufike lowo kukokwakhe ukugweba; ndikunike yena.
2128Wena ke, nyana womntu, profeta uthi, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ngokusingisele koonyana baka-Amon, ngokusingisele kungcikivo lwabo, ukuthi, Ikrele, ikrele lirholelwe ukuba libulale; likhazimlisiwe ukuba lidle, ukuba libe njengombane.
2129Bekubonela inkohlakalo nje, bekuhlabela amanga nje, liya kukubeka ke ezintanyeni zabangendawo ababuleweyo, abamini iya kufika ngexesha lobugwenxa bokuphela.
2130Libuyisele esingxotyeni salo. Endaweni odalelwe kuyo, ezweni lemvelo yakho, ndiya kukugweba.
2131Ndiya kuthulula phezu kwakho ubhavumo lwam. Ndiya kukubasela ngomlilo wokuphuphuma komsindo wam, ndikunikele esandleni samadoda azizityhakala, iingcibi ezonakalisayo.
2132Uya kuba kukudla komlilo; igazi lakho liya kuba phakathi kwelizwe; akuyi kukhunjulwa; kuba mna Yehova ndithethile.
221Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
222Wena ke, nyana womntu, uza kuwugweba na? Uza kuwugweba na umzi wamagazi? Wazise ke onke amasikizi awo.
223Uze uthi, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Mzindini, uphalaza igazi esazulwini sawo, ukuze lifike ixesha lawo, wenze izigodo kuwo ukuze ube yinqambi!
224Ngegazi lakho olithululeyo uzeke ityala, nangezigodo zakho ozenzileyo uzenze inqambi, wazisondeza iimini zakho, wafika eminyakeni yakho. Ngenxa yoko ndikwenza into yengcikivo ezintlangeni, nento yokucukucezwa kuwo onke amazwe.
225Abakufuphi nabakude kuwe baya kukucukuceza; unegama lobunqambi, unesaqunge esikhulu.
226Yabona, izikhulu zakwaSirayeli, saseso ngokwengalo yaso, zibe zikuwe, ukuze ziphalaze igazi.
227Uyise nonina babacukucezela kuwe; owasemzini bamcudisela esazulwini sakho; iinkedama nabahlolokazi babaxinzelela phantsi kuwe.
228Iingcwele zam uzidelile, neesabatha zam uzihlambele.
229Amadoda anentlebendwane abekuwe, ukuze aphalaze igazi; adlela ezintabeni kuwe, enza amanyala esazulwini sakho.
2210Ubuze booyise butyhilelwe kuwe; oyinqambi ngokuba nomzi bamdlwengulela kuwe.
2211Omnye wenza amasikizi nomfazi wommelwane wakhe; omnye umenza inqambi umolokazana wakhe ngobugqwirha; omnye udlwengula udade wabo, intombi kayise, kuwe.
2212Bamkela izicengo bekuwe, ukuze baphalaze igazi; wena udle abantu ngemali, wathabatha inzala yemboleko: uyamdla ummelwane wakho ngokucudisa; undilibele; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
2213Yabona, nditywakraza izandla zam ngenxa yenzuzo yakho embi oyizuzileyo, nangenxa yamagazi akho asesazulwini sakho.
2214Intliziyo yakho iya kuma na? Izandla zakho ziya kuthi nkqi na, ngemihla endiya kukuphatha ngayo? Mna Yehova ndithethile, ndiya kwenza ke.
2215Ndiya kukuphangalalisela ezintlangeni, ndikuchithachithe emazweni, ndibugqibele ubunqambi bakho kuwe.
2216Wozihlambela emehlweni eentlanga, wazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
2217Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
2218Nyana womntu, indlu kaSirayeli isuke yaba ligwebu lentsimbi kum; bonke bephela baba lubhedu nebhekile nesinyithi nelothe, phakathi eziko; baba ligwebu lesilivere.
2219Ngako oko itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ngenxa yokuba naba ligwebu lentsimbi nonke niphela, ngako oko, yabonani, ndiya kunibutha esazulwini seYerusalem.
2220Njengokuhlanganiselwa kwesilivere nobhedu nesinyithi nelothe nebhekile phakathi eziko, ukuba umlilo uzifuthe, ukuze zinyibilike: ndiya kwenjenjalo ukunibutha ngomsindo wam, nangobushushu bam, ndinifake, ndininyibilikise.
2221Ndonifumba, ndifuthe umlilo wokuphuphuma komsindo wam kuni, ninyibilike phakathi kwawo.
2222Njengokuba isilivere inyibilikiswa phakathi eziko, niya kwenjenjalo ukunyibilikiswa phakathi kwayo; nazi ukuba mna Yehova ndibuthulule ubushushu bam phezu kwenu.
2223Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
2224Nyana womntu, yithi kulo, Ulilizwe elizulu lingasiyo, elinganelwayo ngomhla wobhavumo.
2225Lucebo lwabaprofeti balo esazulwini salo. Njengengonyama ebharhulayo, eqwenga inyamakazi, badla imiphefumlo; bahlutha into eqwetyiweyo nenqabileyo; bandisa abahlolokazi balo esazulwini salo.
2226Ababingeleli balo bayawugonyamela umyalelo wam, bazihlambele iingcwele zam; abacaluli phakathi kokungcwele nokuhlambelayo, ababonisi mahluko kokuyinqambi nokuhlambulukileyo; bayawafihla amelulo abo kwiisabatha zam, ndihlanjelwe esazulwini sabo.
2227Abathetheli balo esazulwini salo banjengeengcuka eziqwenga ixhoba, ukuba baphalaze igazi, batshabalalise imiphefumlo, ukuze bazuze inzuzo embi.
2228Abaprofeti babatyabeka ngodaka olulephukayo, bebona imibono yenkohlakalo, bebahlabela izihlabo ezingamanga, besithi, Itsho iNkosi uYehova; kanti uYehova akathethanga.
2229Abantu belizwe elo bayacudisa, bayaphanga, baxinzelela phantsi usizana nehlwempu, bacudise owasemzini ngokungesesikweni.
2230Ndafuna kubo indoda engaba luthango phakathi, ime ethutyeni phambi kwam, ikhusele ilizwe elo, ukuze ndingalitshabalalisi; ke andiyifumani.
2231Ngoko ke ndithulula ubhavumo lwam phezu kwabo, ndibagqibele ngomlilo wokuphuphuma komsindo wam, ndibanike ngokwendlela yabo entlokweni yabo; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
231Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
232Nyana womntu, kwakukho abafazi ababini, iintombi zamfazi mnye.
233Bahenyuza eYiputa, bahenyuza besebancinane; acofelwa khona amabele abo; zaphathwa khona iingono zamabele zobuntombi babo.
234Amagama abo ke nguNtente-yakhe omkhulu kubo, noNtente-yam-kuye umsakwabo; baba ngabam, bazala oonyana neentombi. Amagama abo nguSamari uNtente-yakhe, yiYerusalem uNtente-yam-kuye.
235UNtente-yakhe wahenyuza engumkam, watshiswa kukukhanuka izithandane zakhe, ama-Asiriya, umelwane lwakhe:
236abavethe iingubo ezimsi, amabamba neerhuluneli, amadodana aluluhle onke ephela, abamahashe bekhwele emahasheni.
237Wakubhekisela kubo ukuhenyuza kwakhe, koonyana baseAsiriya abaluluhle bonke bephela; wathi abo bonke abetshiseka kukubakhanuka, wazenza inqambi ngezigodo zabo.
238Akakuyeka nokuhenyuza kwakhe kwaseYiputa; ngokuba ebuncinaneni bakhe babelala naye, baziphathe iingono zamabele zobuntombi bakhe bona; bathululele ubufebe babo phezu kwakhe.
239Ngako oko ndamnikela esandleni sezithandane zakhe, esandleni soonyana baseAsiriya, abo abetshiseka kukubakhanuka.
2310Bona babutyhila ubuze bakhe, bathabatha oonyana bakhe neentombi zakhe, bambulala ngekrele; waba ngundaba-mlonyeni kubafazi, bamgweba.
2311Wakubona oko umsakwabo, uNtente-yam-kuye, waba mandundu kunaye ukutshiseka kwakhe kukukhanuka, kwaba mandundu ukuhenyuza kwakhe kunokuhenyuza kodade wabo.
2312Watshiseka kukubakhanuka oonyana baseAsiriya, amabamba, neerhuluneli, umelwane lwakhe, abavethe ezimbejembeje; abamahashe bekhwele emahasheni, amadodana aluluhle onke ephela.
2313Ndabona ukuba uzenze inqambi, bandlela-nye bobabini.
2314Wongeza ekuhenyuzeni kwakhe; wabona amadoda ezotywe eludongeni, imifanekiso yamaKaledi ezotywe ngeqabo elibomvu,
2315enxibe iinqwemesha ezinqeni, eneenkontsho ezimfakamfele ezintloko, ebonakala engabaphathi-mikhosi onke ephela, efana noonyana baseBhabheli, belamaKaledi, izwe lokuzalwa kwabo.
2316Watshiseka kukuwakhanuka, amehlo akhe akuwabona; wathuma abathunywa kwelamaKaledi.
2317Beza ke kuye oonyana baseBhabheli esililini sokuncokolisa, bamenza inqambi ngobufebe babo; wazenza inqambi ngabo; wancothuka kubo umphefumlo wakhe.
2318Wakutyhila ukuhenyuza kwakhe, wabutyhila ubuze bakhe, wancothuka ke umphefumlo wam kuye, njengoko umphefumlo wam wancothukayo kumsakwabo.
2319Wongeza ke ukuhenyuza kwakhe, ngokukhumbula imihla yobuncinane bakhe, awahenyuza ngayo ezweni leYiputa.

2321Wamana ukhumbula amanyala obuncinane bakho, oko amaYiputa abephathe iingono zamabele akho, ngenxa yamabele obuncinane bakho.
2322Ngako oko, Ntente-yam-kuye, itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabona, ndikuxhokonxela izithandane zakho, ezo uncothukileyo kuzo umphefumlo wakho; ndizizise phezu kwakho, zivela ngeenxa zonke:

2326bakuhlube iingubo zakho, bazithabathe iimpahla zakho zokuhomba.
2327Ndowaphelisa amanyala akho nokuhenyuza kwakho kwasezweni laseYiputa, ungabi sawaphakamisela amehlo akho kuwo, ungabi salikhumbula elaseYiputa.
2328Ngokuba itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabona, ndiya kukunikela esandleni sabo ubathiyileyo, esandleni sabo uncothukileyo kubo umphefumlo wakho.
2329Baya kukuphatha ngentiyo, bathabathe konke ukuxelenga kwakho, bakushiye uze kanye, butyhileke ubuze bokuhenyuza kwakho, namanyala akho, nokuhenyuza kwakho.
2330Kuya kwenzeka oko kuwe, ngenxa yokuhenyuza kwakho ekulandeleni iintlanga, ngenxa enokuba uzenze inqambi ngezigodo zazo.
2331Uhambe ngendlela yomsakwenu; ndoyinikela ke indebe yakhe esandleni sakho.
2332Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Uya kuyisela indebe yomsakwenu, yona leyo inzulu, ibanzi; iya kuba yintlekisa nesigculelo, ngokuba inombilini omkhulu.
2333Uya kuzala kukunxila nasisingqala; yindebe yakwankangala kankangala indebe yodade wenu uSamari.
2334Uya kuyisela ke, uyifince, uwaqobe amagophe ayo, uzijece ngawo amabele; ngokuba ndithethile, itsho iNkosi uYehova.
2335Ngako oko itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ngenxa enokuba undilibele, wandiphosa emva komhlana wakho, uya kuwathwala nokuwathwala amanyala akho nokuhenyuza kwakho.
2336Wathi uYehova kum, Nyana womntu, uza kubagweba na ooNtente-yakhe noNtente-yam-kuye? Baxelele ke amasikizi abo.
2337Ngokuba bakrexezile, izandla zabo zinegazi; bakrexezene nezigodo zabo; kananjalo oonyana babo, ababazalela mna, babacandisele kuzo, ukuba batshiswe ngumlilo.
2338Babuye benza noku kum: bayenze inqambi ingcwele yam kwangayo loo mini, bazihlambela iisabatha zam;
2339bakuzisikela izigodo zabo oonyana babo, bangena ke engcweleni yam kwangayo loo mini, ukuze bayihlambele; yabona benjenjalo endlwini yam phakathi.
2340Phezu koko bathumele kumadoda avela kude, kwathunyelwa kuwo umthunywa; yabona, afika; wona lawo wazihlambayo umzimba ngenxa yawo, waziqaba amehlo ngomsizi, wavathela wona izivatho zakho;
2341wahlala esingqengqelweni esinobuqaqawuli, alungiselwa isithebe phambi kwaso, wabeka ke kuso isiqhumiso sam neoli yam.
2342Izwi lengxokolo latyondyoloza khona. Kumadoda aseluninzini loluntu kwaziswa abaseli basentlango, babafaka izacholo ezihlahleni zabo, nezithsaba zokuhomba ezintlokweni zabo.
2343Ndathi ke kulowo oselehagele ekukrexezeni, Ngokunje uhenyuzo lwakhe luya kukrexeza, lona ngokwalo.
2344Bamngena ke njengoko kungenwa ngako kumfazi olihenyukazi: benjenjalo ukumngena uNtente-yakhe, noNtente-yam-kuye, abo bafazi banamanyala.
2345Ke amadoda angamalungisa, wona ke aya kubagweba ngokwesiko labakrexezikazi, nangokwesiko labaphalazi begazi; ngokuba bengabakrexezikazi, zinegazi izandla zabo.
2346Ngokuba itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ndiya kubanyusela ibandla, ndibanikele ekunqakulweni nasekuphangweni;
2347ibandla libaxulube ngamatye, libasike ngamakrele alo. Liya kubabulala oonyana babo neentombi zabo, lizitshise izindlu zabo;
2348ndiwaphelise amanyala ezweni, bathethiseke abafazi bonke, bangenzi ngokwamanyala enu.
2349Baya kuwabeka ke amanyala enu phezu kwenu, nizithwale izono zezigodo zenu; nazi ukuba ndiyiNkosi uYehova.
241Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum ngomnyaka wesithoba, ngenyanga yeshumi, ngolweshumi enyangeni leyo, lisithi,
242Nyana womntu, Zibhalele igama lale mini, layo yona le mini; ukumkani waseBhabheli uyishicilele iYerusalem ngayo yona le mini.
243Uze uyizekelisele ngomzekeliso indlu eneenkani, uthi kubo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Beka imbiza eziko, yibeke, kananjalo ugalele amanzi kuyo.
244Hlanganisela kuyo iinyama zayo; zonke iinyama ezilungileyo, umlenze negxalaba; yizalise ngamathambo akhethiweyo.
245Thabatha ezikhethiweyo zempahla emfutshane, kananjalo amathambo uwafumbele iinkuni ngaphantsi kwayo. Yibilise kakuhle; kananjalo amathambo ayo makaphekwe phakathi kwayo.
246Ngako oko, itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yeha, mzindini unamagazi! Mbizandini inomhlwa, emhlwa ungasukiyo! Yirhole inyama ngeenyama zayo; aliphumi nayo iqashiso.
247Ngokuba igazi lawo liphakathi kwawo; ulibeke engxondorheni ebalelelwe lilanga; awuliphalazanga emhlabeni, ukuba liselelwe luthuli.
248Ukuze kunyuke ubushushu, ukuze iphindezelwe impindezelo, igazi lawo ndilibeke engxondorheni ebalelelwe lilanga, ukuze lingaselelwa.
249Ngako oko, itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yeha, mzindini unamagazi! Nam ndiya kuyenza ibe nkulu imfumba yeenkuni.
2410Fumba iinkuni, khwezela umlilo, vuthisa inyama, ujiye umhluzi, atshe amathambo;
2411uyibeke phezu kwamalahle ayo, ingasenanto phakathi, ukuze lufudumale lutshe ubhedu lwayo, bunyibilike ubunqambi bayo phakathi kwayo, umhlwa wayo ugqibele.
2412Izidinisile ngemigushanxa; awuphumi kuyo umhlwa wayo omninzi; mawube semlilweni umhlwa wayo.
2413Ebunqambini bakho ngamanyala; ngenxa enokuba ndikuhlambulule, akwahlambuluka, akusayi kuhlambuluka ebunqambini bakho, ndide ndibupholisele kuwe ubushushu bam.
2414Mna Yehova ndithethile; iyeza le nto, ndiya kuyenza; andiyi kuyeka, andiyi kuba nanceba, andiyi kuzohlwaya. Baya kukugweba ngokweendlela zakho nangokweentlondi zakho; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
2415Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
2416Nyana womntu, yabona, ndithabatha kuwe intanda yamehlo akho ngesibetho; uze ungambambazeli, ungalili; makungaphumi zinyembezi kuwe.
2417Gcuma uthe cwaka; uze ungenzi sijwili ngabafileyo. Jikela unkontsho lwakho, unxibe iimbadada zakho ezinyaweni zakho, ungazigqubutheli iindevu zakho eziphezu komlomo, ungasidli isonka sabantu.
2418Ndathetha ke nabantu kusasa; ngokuhlwa wafa umkam; ndenza ke ngengomso njengoko wayendiwisele umthetho ngako.
2419Bathi abantu kum, Akusixeleli na, ukuba ezi zintozithini na kuthi, ukuba wenjenje?
2420Ndathi kubo, Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
2421Yithi kwindlu kaSirayeli, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabonani, ndiya kuyingcolisa ingcwele yam, iqhayiya lamandla enu, intanda yamehlo enu, isizondelelo somphefumlo wenu, bawe likrele oonyana benu neentombi zenu enibashiyileyo.
2422Niya kwenza ke njengoko ndenze ngako: iindevu eziphezu komlomo aniyi kuzigqubuthela, ningasidli isonka sabantu;
2423iinkontsho zenu ziya kuba sentloko kuni, neembadada zenu zibe sezinyaweni zenu; aniyi kumbambazela, nilile; ke niya kungcungcutheka ebugwenxeni benu, nigcume, omnye ekhangele komnye.
2424UHezekile woba sisimanga kuni; niya kwenza njengako konke akwenzileyo; ekuzeni kwako oko, niya kwazi ukuba ndiyiNkosi uYehova.
2425Wena ke, nyana womntu, inyaniso, mini ndithabatha kubo inqaba yabo, imihlali yesihombo sabo, intanda yamehlo abo, into abaphakamisela kuyo umphefumlo wabo, oonyana babo neentombi zabo:
2426ngayo loo mini kuya kufika osindileyo kuwe, avakalise oko ezindlebeni zakho.
2427Ngayo loo mini uya kuvuleka umlomo wakho, kunye nosindileyo lowo; uthethe, ungabi saba sisidenge; ube sisimanga kubo; bazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
251Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,

2510Ndolivulela oonyana basempumalanga, kunye neloonyana baka-Amon, ndibanike limiwe, ukuze bangabi sakhunjulwa ezintlangeni oonyana baka-Amon;
2511ndenze izigwebo kwaMowabhi; bazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
2512Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ngenxa enokuba uEdom esebenze ngokuphindezela impindezelo kwindlu yakwaYuda, wazeka ityala elikhulu ngokuphindezela kubo:
2513ngako oko itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ndiya kusolula isandla sam naphezu kwelakwaEdom, ndinqumle kulo umntu nenkomo; ndilibharhise, kuthabathele kwaTeman; bawe likrele, kuse nakwaDedan.
2514Ndiya kuphindezela kwaEdom ngesandla sabantu bam amaSirayeli, benze kwaEdom ngokomsindo wam nangokobushushu bam; bakwazi ke ukuphindezela kwam; itsho iNkosi uYehova.

2517Ndiya kwenza kuwo iimpindezelo ezinkulu, ezishushu; bazi ukuba ndinguYehova, ekwenzeni kwam impindezelo kuwo.
261Kwathi ngomnyaka weshumi elinamnye, ngolokuqala enyangeni leyo, kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
262Nyana womntu, ngenxa enokuba iTire isithi ngeYerusalem, Tshotsho! lwaphukile ucango lwezizwe; luvulekele kum; ndiya kuchuma mna, ibe linxuwa yona!
263ngako oko, itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabona, ndikuchasile, Tire. Ndiya kukunyusela iintlanga ezininzi, njengokuba ulwandle lunyusa amaza alo;

267Ngokuba itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabona, iTire ndiya kuyizisela uNebhukadenetsare ukumkani waseBhabheli, evela entla, ukumkani wookumkani, enamahashe neenqwelo zokulwa, nabakhweli, nesikhungu sabantu, nabantu abaninzi.
268Amagxamesi akho asemaphandleni uya kuwabulala ngekrele, akumisele inqaba yokubonisela, afumbe kuwe udonga lokungqinga, akumisele ikhusi lamakhaka;
269abhekise ezindongeni zakho iimpahla zakhe zokutyhomfa, azidilize iinqaba zakho ezinde ngeentsimbi zakhe.
2610Ngenxa yoninzi lwamahashe akhe, uthuli lwawo luya kukugubungela; iindonga zakho ziya kunyikima ngenxa yesandi sabakhweli, neseevili, neseenqwelo zokulwa, ekungeneni kwakhe ngamasango akho, njengabangena emzini oqhekezwayo.
2611Ngamanqina amahashe akhe uya kuzigqusha izitrato zakho zonke; uya kubabulala abantu bakho ngekrele, iintsika zakho ezinamandla aziwise emhlabeni.
2612Baya kubuthimba ubutyebi bakho, bayiphange into orhweba ngayo, bazigunguxule iindonga zakho, bazidilize izindlu zakho ezinqwenelekayo, bawatshonise emanzini amatye akho, nemithi yakho, nothuli lwakho.

2614Ndokwenza ube yingxondorha ebalelelwe lilanga; uya kuba yindawo yokwaneka iminatha. Akusayi kuba sakhiwa; ngokuba mna Yehova ndithethile; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
2615Itsho iNkosi uYehova kwiTire, ukuthi, Aziyi kunyikima na iziqithi ngenxa yesithonga sokuwa kwakho, ekuncwineni kwabangxwelerhiweyo, ekubulaweni kwabaphakathi kwakho?
2616Ziya kuhla ezitroneni zabo bonke abazizikhulu zolwandle, bazisuse iingubo zabo zokwaleka, bazihlube iingubo zabo ezimfakamfele; bambathe ukugubha, bahlale phantsi emhlabeni, bagubhe ngamaphanyazo onke, bamangaliswe nguwe.
2617Baya kukuphakamisela isijwili, bathi kuwe, Yoo! Utheni na ukudaka, wena ubumiwe ngabeelwandle, wena mzindini udumileyo, owawomelele elwandle, wona nabemi bawo, obe ubaqhiphukisa umbilini abemi bawo bonke!

2619Ngokuba itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ekukwenzeni kwam ube ngumzi olinxuwa, njengemizi engasamiweyo; ekuwanyuseni kwam phezu kwakho amanzi anzongonzongo, akugubungele amanzi amaninzi:
2620ndiya kukuhlisela kwabahle baya emhadini, ndikuse ebantwini basendaleni, ndikuhlalise ezweni langaphantsi, emanxuweni asendaleni nabahle baya emhadini, ukuze ungamiwa; ndenze ubukhazikhazi ezweni labahleliyo.
2621Ndokwenza ube sisikhwankqiso, ungabikho; bakufune, bangabi sakufumana naphakade; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
271Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,

2734Kungoku, waphukile nje, umkile ezilwandle, ezinzulwini zamanzi; luwile nawe ulwananiso lwakho, nesikhungu sakho sonke.
2735Bonke abemi beziqithi baya kumangaliswa nguwe, ookumkani bazo babe namanwele benamanwele, buthe ntshwa ubuso babo.
2736Abarhwebi abasezizweni baya kwenza umsondlo; usuke wena ube sisikhwankqiso, ungabi sabakho naphakade.
281Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
282Nyana womntu, Yithi kwinganga yeTire, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ngenxa enokuba intliziyo yakho iphakamile, usithi, NdinguThixo, ndihleli esihlalweni soThixo embilinini yeelwandle; phofu ungumntu, ungeThixo, nakuba uyenze intliziyo yakho yanjengentliziyo yoThixo:
283yabona, ulumke kambe nangaphezu koDaniyeli; zonke izinto ezisitheleyo azisithelisiwe kuwe.
284Ngobulumko bakho nangengqondo yakho uzenzele ubuhandiba, wangenisa igolide nesilivere ebuncwaneni bakho.
285Ngobuninzi bobulumko bakho ubandisile ubuhandiba bakho, ngorhwebo lwakho, yaphakama intliziyo yakho ngobuhandiba bakho.
286Ngako oko, itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ngenxa enokuba wayenza intliziyo yakho yanjengentliziyo yoThixo,
287ngako oko, uyabona, ndiya kukuzisela abasemzini, abangcangcazelisi basezintlangeni; baburholele ubuhle bobulumko bakho amakrele abo, bakuhlambele ukubengezela kwakho.
288Baya kukuhlisela emhadini, ufe ngokufa kwababuleweyo, embilinini yeelwandle.
289Wotsho ubuye utsho na ukuthi, NdinguThixo, phambi kombulali wakho? ungumntu nje, ungeThixo, esandleni sokuhlabayo.
2810Uya kufa ukufa kwabangalukileyo ngesandla sabasemzini, ngokuba ndithethile; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
2811Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
2812Nyana womntu, mphakamisele isimbonono ukumkani waseTire, uthi kuye, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Wena lutywino lwesakhiwo esilinganiselweyo kakuhle, uzeleyo bubulumko, umhle kwaphela.
2813Ubuse-Eden emyezweni kaThixo; onke amatye anqabileyo abe esisigubungelo sakho: isardiyo, netopazi, nedayimani, nekrizolite, nebherilo, neyaspisi, nesafire, nekarbhunkolo, nesmarado, negolide; umsebenzi weengqondi zakho nowamankazana akho waye ukuwe; ngemini yokudalwa kwakho ezo zinto zalungiswa.
2814Waye uyikerubhi ethanjisiweyo, egqubuthelayo; ndakwenza ke, waba sentabeni engcwele kaThixo, wahambahamba phakathi kwamatye anomlilo.
2815Wagqibelela ngeendlela zakho, kususela kwimini yokudalwa kwakho, kwada kwafumaneka ubugqwetha kuwe.
2816Ngobuninzi borhwebo lwakho umbilini wakho wazala kukugonyamela, wona ke. Ndiya kulahla wena, ngokwento engcolileyo, umke entabeni kaThixo; ndikutshabalalise, kerubhi igqubuthelayo, usuke phakathi kwamatye anomlilo.
2817Intliziyo yakho iphakamile ngenxa yobuhle bakho, ubonakalisile ubulumko bakho kunye nokubengezela kwakho. Ndikukhahlela emhlabeni ndikwenze ube ngumbonelo phambi kokumkani.
2818Ngobuninzi bobugwenxa bakho, ebugqwetheni borhwebo lwakho, uzihlambele iingcwele zakho; ndivelisa ke umlilo kwaphakathi kwakho; uya kukutshisa wona, ndikwenze ube luthuthu emhlabeni, emehlweni abo bonke abakubonayo.
2819Bonke abakwaziyo ezizweni baya kumangaliswa nguwe, usuke ube sisikhwankqiso, ungabuyi ubekho naphakade.
2820Kwafika ilizwi likaThixo kum, lisithi,
2821Nyana womntu, bhekisa ubuso bakho eTsidon, uprofete ngayo.
2822Yithi, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Uyabona, ndikuchasile, Tsidon; ndiya kuzizukisa phakathi kwakho; bazi ukuba ndinguYehova, ekwenzeni kwam izigwebo kuyo, ndizingcwalisele kuyo.
2823Ndiya kuthumela kuyo indyikitya yokufa negazi ezitratweni zayo; bawe abangxwelerhiweyo phakathi kwayo likrele, eliyifikelayo ngeenxa zonke; bazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
2824Akuyi kuba sabakho meva anobuhlungu, naluviko lwenza buhlungu, kwindlu kaSirayeli, luphuma kubo bonke abangeenxa zonke kuyo, abayicukuleyo; bazi ke ukuba ndinguYehova.
2825Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ekuyibutheni kwam indlu kaSirayeli, ezizweni abaphangalaliswe kuzo, ndiya kuzingcwalisela kubo emehlweni eentlanga, bahlale emhlabeni wabo, endawunika umkhonzi wam uYakobi.
2826Baya kuhlala kuwo bekholosile, bakhe izindlu, batyale izidiliya, bahlale bekholosile ekwenzeni kwam izigwebo kubo bonke ababacukulayo, abangeenxa zonke kubo; bazi ukuba ndinguYehova uThixo wabo.
291Ngomnyaka weshumi, ngenyanga yeshumi, ngolweshumi elinesibini enyangeni leyo, kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum lisithi,
292Nyana womntu, bhekisa ubuso bakho kuFaro ukumkani waseYiputa, uprofete ngaye, nangeYiputa yonke iphela.
293Thetha uthi, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Uyabona, ndikuchasile, Faro kumkani waseYiputa, ngwenya inkulu ibuthumileyo emijelweni yayo yoMnayile, itsho ukuthi, Ngowam umlambo, ndizenzele mna.
294Ndiya kufaka amakhonkco emihlathini yakho, ndizinamathisele emaxolweni akho iintlanzi zemijelo yakho, ndikurhole emijelweni yakho, neentlanzi zonke zemijelo yakho, ezinamathele emaxolweni akho.
295Ndiya kukulahlela entlango, wena neentlanzi zonke zemijelo yakho. Uya kuwa endle, akuyi kuhlanganiswa ubuthwe; ndikunikele ukuba ube kukudla kwamarhamncwa elizwe nokweentaka zezulu.
296Baya kwazi bonke abemi baseYiputa ukuba ndinguYehova. Ngokokuba ibe ingumsimelelo wengcongolo kwindlu kaSirayeli.
297Bakubambelela kuwe ngamahlamvu akho, usuka uvikiveke, ukrazule lonke igxalaba labo; uthi bakusimelela ngawe, waphuke, ugxadazelise zonke izinqe zabo.
298Ngako oko, itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Uyabona, ndikuzisela ikrele, ndinqumle kuwe umntu nenkomo;
299ilizwe laseYiputa kube senkangala, libharhe; bazi ukuba ndinguYehova, ngenxa enokuba usithi, Umlambo ngowam, ndizenzele mna.
2910Ngako oko uyabona, ndikuchasile nemijelo yakho; ndiya kulibharhisa ilizwe laseYiputa libharhe, kube senkangala, lithabathele eMigidoli, lise eSevene, lise emdeni wakwaKushi.
2911Akuyi kucanda lunyawo lwamntu kulo, akuyi kucanda nqina lankomo kulo, lingemiwa, iminyaka engamashumi amane.
2912Ndiya kulenza kube senkangala ilizwe laseYiputa phakathi kwamazwe abharhileyo, ibe ngamanxuwa imizi yalo phakathi kwemizi engamanxuwa, iminyaka engamashumi amane; ndiwaphangalalisele amaYiputa ezintlangeni, ndiwachithachithe emazweni.
2913Ngokuba itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ekupheleni kweminyaka engamashumi amane, ndiya kuwabutha amaYiputa ezizweni, abephangalaliselwe kuzo;
2914ndibuyise ukuthinjwa kweYiputa, ndiwabuyise elizweni lasePatrosi, ezweni lokuvela kwawo, abe sisikumkani esiphantsi khona.
2915Ezikumkanini aya kuba sesiphantsi, angabi saziphakamisa ngokwawo phezu kweentlanga; ndiwanciphise, ukuze angazinyatheleli phantsi iintlanga.
2916Akayi kuba saba yinkoloseko yendlu kaSirayeli, ekhumbuza ubugwenxa ngokubheka kwayo kuwo; azi ukuba ndiyiNkosi uYehova.
2917Kwathi ngomnyaka wamashumi omabini anesixhenxe, ngenyanga yokuqala, ngolokuqala enyangeni leyo, kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
2918Nyana womntu, uNebhukadenetsare ukumkani waseBhabheli, impi yakhe uyisebenzise umsebenzi omkhulu eTire. Zonke iintloko zikhuthukile, onke amagxalaba atyabukile; ukanti akabanga namvuzo ke, yena nempi yakhe, eTire, ngenxa yomsebenzi awusebenzileyo kuyo.
2919Ngako oko, itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Uyabona, uNebhukadenetsare ukumkani waseBhabheli ndimnika ilizwe laseYiputa, ukuba athuthe intabalala yalo, athimbe intimbo yalo, aphange ixhoba lalo, ezo zinto zibe ngumvuzo wempi yakhe.
2920Umvuzo wakhe awusebenzeleyo ndimnika ilizwe laseYiputa, ngokuba baye besebenzele mna; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
2921Ngayo loo mini ndiya kuyihlumisela uphondo indlu kaSirayeli, ndikunike ukuvulwa komlomo phakathi kwabo; bazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
301Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
302Nyana womntu, profeta uthi, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Bhombolozani, nithi, Hayi ke, le mini!
303Ngokuba ikufuphi le mini, ikufuphi imini kaYehova, imini yamafu; iya kuba lixesha leentlanga.
304Ikrele liya kuyifikela iYiputa; kuya kubakho ukuzibhijabhija kwaKushi, ekuweni kwababuleweyo eYiputa, ithatyathwe intabalala yayo, zichithwe iziseko zayo.
305AmaKushi, namaPuti, namaLudi, nomxukuxela wonke, namaKubhi, noonyana belizwe lomnqophiso, baya kuwa likrele ndawonye nayo.
306Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Baya kuwa abaxhasi beYiputa, lihle iqhayiya lamandla ayo. Baya kuthabathela iMigidoli, base eSevene, besiwa likrele kuyo; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
307KwelamaYiputa koba senkangala phakathi kwamazwe abharhileyo, nemizi yalo ibe phakathi kwemizi engamanxuwa;
308bazi ukuba ndinguYehova, ekufakeni kwam umlilo eYiputa, baphuke bonke abancedi balo.
309Ngayo loo mini kuya kuphuma kum abathunywa ngeenqanawa, ukuze bothuse amaKushi akholosileyo, azibhijabhije ngokwawo njengasemini yeYiputa; ngokuba, uyabona, iyeza le nto.
3010Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ndiya kuyiphelisa ingxokolo yeYiputa ngesandla sikaNebhukadenetsare, ukumkani waseBhabheli.
3011Yena enabantu bakhe, abangcangcazelisi basezintlangeni, baya kuziswa ukuba balitshabalalise ilizwe, bayirholele amakrele abo iYiputa, balizalise ilizwe ngababuleweyo.
3012Ndoyomisa imijelo yoMnayile, ndithengise ngelizwe ezandleni zabanobubi, ndilenze kube senkangala ilizwe nenzaliseko yalo, ngezandla zabasemzini; mna Yehova ndithethile.
3013Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ndiya kuzidakisa izigodo, ndiziphelise izithixo ezingento eNofu, kungabi sabakho sikhulu sasezweni laseYiputa, ndingenise ukoyika ezweni laseYiputa.
3014Ndiya kuyenza kube senkangala iPatrosi, ndifake umlilo eTsohan, ndenze izigwebo kwiNo;
3015ndobuthulula ubushushu bam phezu kweSin, inqaba yaseYiputa; ndiyinqumle ingxokolo yaseNo;
3016ndifake umlilo eYiputa. ISin iya kuzibhijabhija izibhijabhije, neNo inqikwe, neNofu ibe nababandezeli emini.
3017Amadodana aseAven nasePibhesete aya kuwa likrele, yona ke loo mizi ithinjwe.
3018ETapanesi iya kuba mnyama imini, ekuzaphuleni kwam khona iidyokhwe zaseYiputa, liphele kuyo iqhayiya lamandla ayo. Amafu aya kuyisibekela, namagxamesi ayo athinjwe;
3019ndenze izigwebo eYiputa; bazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
3020Kwathi ngomnyaka weshumi elinamnye, ngenyanga yokuqala, ngolwesixhenxe enyangeni leyo, kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
3021Nyana womntu, ingalo kaFaro ukumkani waseYiputa ndiyaphule; uyabona, ayiyi kubotshwa ukuba ifakwe umhlabelo, ukuba ibotshwe ngezithandelo, ukuba yomelele, ukuba iphathe ikrele.
3022Ngako oko, itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabona, ndimchasile uFaro ukumkani waseYiputa. Ndiya kuzaphula iingalo zakhe, eyomeleleyo kwaneyaphukileyo, ndilivuthulule ikrele esandleni sakhe.
3023Ndowaphangalalisela amaYiputa ezintlangeni, ndiwachithachithe emazweni;
3024ndiya kuzomeleza ke iingalo zokumkani waseBhabheli, ndibeke ikrele lam esandleni sakhe, ndizaphule iingalo zikaFaro, ancwine phambi kwakhe ngoncwino longxwelerhiweyo.
3025Ndiya kuzomeleza iingalo zokumkani waseBhabheli, ziwe iingalo zikaFaro; bazi ukuba ndinguYehova, ekulibekeni kwam ikrele esandleni sokumkani waseBhabheli, alolulele phezu kwelizwe laseYiputa.
3026Ndowaphangalalisela amaYiputa ezintlangeni, ndiwachithachithe emazweni; bazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
311Ke kaloku kwathi, ngomnyaka weshumi elinamnye, ngenyanga yesithathu, ngolokuqala enyangeni leyo, kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
312Nyana womntu, yithi kuFaro ukumkani waseYiputa, nakwingxokolo yakhe, Ufana nabani na ngobukhulu bakho?
313Uyabona, uAsiriya ebengumsedare waseLebhanon, omasebe mahle, eyintshinyela yemithi enomthunzi, ephakamile ngobude; aba phakathi kweengqimba zamafu amantloko akhe.
314Amanzi amkhulisa, amanzi enzonzobila amphakamisa, imilambo yawo yahamba ngeenxa zonke elutyalweni lwawo, athumela imijelo yawo kuyo yonke imithi yasendle.
315Ngako oko, ubude bakhe baphakama, baba ngaphezu kwayo yonke imithi yasendle; iimbaxa zakhe zanda, namahlamvu akhe aba made, ngenxa yamanzi amaninzi ekunabeni kwakhe.
316Zonke iintaka zezulu zakha ezimbaxeni zakhe, zonke izinto eziphilileyo zasendle zazakhela phantsi kwamahlamvu akhe; zonke iintlanga ezinkulu zahlala emthunzini wakhe.
317Wamhle ngobukhulu bakhe, ngobude bamasebe akhe; ngokuba ingcambu yakhe yabe isemanzini amaninzi.
318Imisedare esemyezweni kaThixo ayimsithanga; imisipres ayifananga neembaxa zakhe, nemipleyini ayibanga njengamahlamvu akhe; yonke imithi emyezweni kaThixo ayifananga naye ngobuhle bayo.
319Ndamenza mhle ngobuninzi bamasebe akhe, yaba nomona ngaye yonke imithi yase-Eden, esemyezweni kaThixo.
3110Ngako oko yatsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ngenxa enokuba eziphakamisile ngobude, wawanyusela amantloko akhe phakathi kweengqimba zamafu, yazinyusa intliziyo yakhe ngokuphakama kwakhe:
3111ndiya kumnikela esandleni senjengele yeentlanga; inene, iya kumphatha ngesiko layo; ndamgxotha ngenxa yokungendawo kwakhe.
3112Bamnqumla abasemzini, abangcangcazelisi basezintlangeni bamlahla. Ezintabeni nasemifuleni yonke awa amasebe akhe; amahlamvu akhe aphukela ezihlanjeni zehlabathi lonke; zehla zemka emthunzini wakhe zonke izizwe zehlabathi, zamlahla.
3113Phezu kwesibili sakhe esiwileyo kuhlala zonke iintaka zezulu, zifike emahlamvini akhe zonke izinto eziphilileyo zasendle;
3114ukuze ingaziphakamisi ngenxa yobude bayo yonke imithi yasemanzini, ingawanyuseli phakathi kweengqimba zamafu amantloko ayo, ingazimeli ngokwayo ekuziphakamiseni kwayo, yonke esela amanzi. Ngokuba bonke bephela banikelwe ekufeni, ezweni langaphantsi, phakathi koonyana baka-Adam, kwabahle baya embadini.
3115Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ngemini yokuhla kwakhe ukuya kwelabafileyo, ndabanga isijwili; ndawagqubuthela ngenxa yakhe amanzi anzongonzongo, ndathintela imilambo yawo, avingcelwa amanzi amakhulu. Ndayambathisa iLebhanon ngezimnyama zokuzila ngenxa yakhe, yonke imithi yasendle yetha amandla ngenxa yakhe.
3116Ngesithonga sokuwa kwakhe ndazinyikimisa iintlanga, ekumhliseleni kwam ukuba aye kwelabafileyo, nabahle baya emhadini; yathuthuzeleka ezweni langaphantsi yonke imithi yase-Eden, enyuliweyo emihle yaseLebhanon, yonke esela amanzi.
3117Nabo njengaye behla baya kwelabafileyo, kwababuleweyo ngekrele; ababeyingalo yakhe, behleli emthunzini wakhe phakathi kweentlanga.
3118Kunjalonje, ufana nabani na ngobuqaqawuli nangobukhulu emithini yase-Eden? Uya kuhliselwa nemithi yase-Eden ezweni langaphantsi; uya kulala phakathi kwabangalukileyo, kwanababuleweyo ngekrele. NguFaro ke lowo, nengxokolo yakhe yonke; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
321Ke kaloku kwathi ngomnyaka weshumi elinesibini, ngenyanga yeshumi elinesibini, ngolokuqala enyangeni leyo, kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
322Nyana womntu, menzele isimbonono uFaro ukumkani waseYiputa, uthi kuye, Wafanekiswa nengonyama entsha yeentlanga, nakuba ube unjengengwenya elwandle; waxhuma emilanjeni yakho, wawagxobha amanzi ngamathupha akho, wayinyathela imilambo yawo.
323Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ndiya kuwutwabulula phezu kwakho umnatha wam, kunye nesikhungu sezizwe ezininzi, zikunyuse ngomnatha wam.
324Ndiya kukulahlela emhlabeni, ndikujulele ebusweni belizwe, ndizihlalise phezu kwakho zonke iintaka zezulu, ndizihluthise ngawe izinto eziphilileyo zehlabathi lonke.
325Ndoyibeka phezu kweentaba inyama yakho, ndiyizalise imifula ngezidumbu zakho;
326ndiliseze ihlabathi ngokuphalala kwegazi lakho, lise ezintabeni; zizale izihlambo nguwe.
327Ndiya kulisibekelisa izulu ekukucimeni kwam, ndizambathise iinkwenkwezi zalo ngezimnyama zokuzila. Ndiya kulisibekela ilanga ngamafu, nenyanga ingakhanyisi ngokukhanya kwayo.
328Zonke izikhanyiso ezikhanyisayo ezulwini ndiya kuzambathisa ngezimnyama zokuzila ngenxa yakho, ndenze ubumnyama phezu kwelizwe lakho; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
329Ndoyenza ibe buhlungu intliziyo yeentlanga ezininzi, ekukuseni kwam ukwaphulwa kwakho ezintlangeni, emazweni ongawazanga.
3210Ndiya kuzimangalisisa ngawe izizwe ezininzi, babe namanwele nokuba namanwele ngawe ookumkani bazo, ekulilingiseni ikrele lam ebusweni babo, bagubhe ngamaphanyazo onke, elowo ngenxa yomphefumlo wakhe, ngemini yokuwa kwakho.
3211Ngokuba itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ikrele lokumkani waseBhabheli liya kukufikela.
3212Ndiya kuyiwisa ingxokolo yakho ngamakrele amagorha; ngabangcangcazelisi basezintlangeni bonke bephala; balibhuqe ikratshi leYiputa, itshabalale yonke ingxokolo yayo.
3213Ndiya kuzitshabalalisa zonke iinkomo zayo, zimke emanzini amakhulu, lungabi sawagxobha unyawo lomntu, namanqina eenkomo angawagxobhi.
3214Oko ndiya kuwawuthisa amanzi ayo, nemilambo yayo, ndiyihambise ngokweoli; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
3215Ndakulenza kube senkangala ilizwe laseYiputa, lenziwe ke kube senkangala ilizwe, lingabi nayo inzaliseko yalo, ekubaxabeleni kwam bonke abemi balo: baya kwazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
3216Siso esi isimbonono; siya kuvunywa ngokwesimbonono; iintombi zeentlanga ziya kuyivuma ngokwesimbonono; ngeYiputa nangengxokolo yayo yonke, ziya kuyivuma ngokwesimbonono; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
3217Ke kaloku kwathi ngomnyaka weshumi elinesibini, ngolweshumi elinesihlanu enyangeni leyo, kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
3218Nyana womntu, yenza isimema ngengxokolo yaseYiputa, uyihlisele, yona nentombi yeentlanga eziziingangamsha, ezweni langaphandle, nabahle baya emhadini.
3219Udlule bani na ngobuhle bakho? Yihla, ulale kwabangalukileyo.
3220Baya kuwa phakathi kwababuleweyo ngekrele; ikrele linikelwe esandleni; yiqweqwediseni, nengxokolo yayo yonke.
3221Ziya kuthetha ngaye iinjengele zamagorha phakathi kwelabafileyo, nabancedi bakhe, zithi, Behlile, balele khona abangalukileyo, bebulewe ngekrele.
3222Ukhona uAsiriya nebandla lakhe lonke; ngeenxa zonke kuye ngamangcwaba abo, bonke bephela bebulewe, bewe likrele; abamangcwaba abo enziwe emhadini phakathi,
3223ibandla lakhe lingeenxa zonke engcwabeni lakhe; bonke bephela bebulewe, bewe likrele, abaye besothusa ilizwe labahleliyo.
3224Ukhona uElam, nengxokolo yakhe yonke engeenxa zonke engcwabeni lakhe; bonke bephela bebulewe, bewe likrele, ababehle baya ezweni langaphantsi bengalukile; abaye besothusa ilizwe labahleliyo, bathwala ihlazo labo nabehle baya emhadini.
3225Bamenzela isilili phakathi kwababuleweyo, enengxokolo yakhe yonke; aba ngeenxa zonke kuye amangcwaba ayo; bonke bephela bengalukile, bebulewe ngekrele; ngokuba bothusa abasezweni labahleliyo, bathwala ihlazo nabehle baya emhadini; ubekwe phakathi kwababuleweyo.
3226Ukhona uMesheki-Tubhali, nengxokolo yakhe yonke, engeenxa zonke kuye amangcwaba ayo; bonke bephela bengalukile, bebulewe ngekrele; ngokuba besothuse ilizwe labahleliyo.
3227Ke abayi kulala namagorha awileyo angawabangalukileyo, abehlayo baya kwelabafileyo beneempahla zokulwa, ebekwe amakrele abo phantsi kweentloko zabo; ubugwenxa babo buwafikele amathambo abo; ngokuba baye besothusa amagorha ezweni labahleliyo.
3228Nawe ke uya kwaphulwa phakathi kwabangalukileyo, ulale nababuleweyo ngekrele.
3229Ukhona uEdom, ookumkani bakhe nezikhulu zakhe zonke, abathi benobugorha babekwa kwababuleweyo ngekrele; balala nabangalukileyo, nabehle baya emhadini.
3230Zikhona iinkosi zasentla, zonke ziphela, namaTsidon onke, ezehlayo nababuleweyo; zidanile, noko beziqhiphukisa umbilini ngobugorha bazo; zilele zingabangalukileyo kwanababuleweyo ngekrele, zithwele ihlazo lazo nabehle baya emhadini.
3231UFaro uya kubabona, athuthuzeleke ngenxa yengxokolo yakhe yonke; uFaro ubulewe ngekrele nempi yakhe yonke; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
3232Ngokuba ndamnika ukuba othuse ilizwe labahleliyo; ulalisiwe ke phakathi kwabangalukileyo, kwanababuleweyo ngekrele, uFaro nengxokolo yakhe yonke; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
331Ke kaloku kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
332Nyana womntu, thetha koonyana babantu bakowenu, uthi kubo, Xa ndithe ilizwe ndalizisela ikrele, abantu belizwe elo bathabatha indoda yaseziphelweni zabo, bayimisa ukuba ibe ngumboniseli wabo;
333yabona ikrele lilifikela ilizwe elo, yavuthela isigodlo, yabavusa abantu;
334ke umntu othe waliva izwi lesigodlo, akavuswa, lafika ikrele elo, lamthabatha: loba sentlokweni yakhe igazi lakhe.
335Izwi lesigodlo ulivile, akavuswa, igazi lakhe loba phezu kwakhe; evusiwe, ange ewusizile umphefumlo wakhe.
336Umboniseli lowo, xa athe walibona ikrele lisiza, akavuthela isigodlo, akabavusa abantu; lafika ikrele, lathabatha kubo umphefumlo: lowo uthatyathwe ngobugwenxa bakhe, ke igazi lakhe ndolibiza esandleni somboniseli lowo.
337Wena ke, nyana womntu, ndikwenze waba ngumboniseli kwindlu kaSirayeli; woliva emlonyeni wam ilizwi, ubavuselele ngokuphuma kum.
338Ndakuthi kongendawo, Wena ungendawo, uya kufa, inene; usuke ungathethi wena, ukuba umvuselele ongendawo, emke endleleni yakhe: wofa yena ongendawo ngobugwenxa bakhe, ke igazi lakhe ndolifuna esandleni sakho.
339Wena ke, xa uthe wamvuselela ongendawo endleleni yakhe, ukuba abuye kuyo, akabuya endleleni yakhe: wofa yena ngobugwenxa bakhe, ke wena uwuhlangule umphefumlo wakho.
3310Ke kaloku wena, nyana womntu, yithi kwindlu kaSirayeli, Niyalungisa ukuthi, Izikreqo zethu nezono zethu ziphezu kwethu; siyangcungcutheka kuzo; singathini na ukuphila?
3311Yithi kubo, Ndihleli nje, itsho iNkosi uYehova, unakanye ukuba kube mnandi kum ukufa kongendawo; kumnandi kum ukubuya kongendawo endleleni yakhe, aphile. Buyani, buyani ezindleleni zenu ezimbi! Yini na ukuba nide nife, ndlu kaSirayeli?
3312Wena ke, nyana womntu, yithi koonyana babantu bakowenu, Ubulungisa belungisa abuyi kulihlangula ngemini yokreqo lwalo; ongendawo akayi kukhubeka ngokungendawo kwakhe, ngemini yokubuya kwakhe kokungendawo kwakhe; nelungisa aliyi kuphila ngabo ngemini yokona kwalo.
3313Ndakuthi kwilungisa, inene, lophila; lize ke likholose ngobulungisa balo, lenze ngobugqwetha: bonke ubulungisa balo abuyi kukhunjulwa; lofa ngobugqwetha balo elibenzileyo.
3314Ndakuthi kongendawo, Inene, uya kufa; abuye ekoneni kwakhe, enze ngokusesikweni nangobulungisa;
3315ongendawo asibuyise isibambiso, ayimisele into ehluthwe nguye, ahambe ngemimiselo yobomi, angenzi ngobugqwetha: inene, wophila, akayi kufa.
3316Zonke izono zakhe awona ngazo aziyi kukhunjulelwa kuye; wenze ngokusesikweni nangobulungisa; inene, wophila.
3317Bathi ke oonyana bakowenu, Indlela kaYehova ayilungelelene; kanti ngabo, abandlela ingalungeleleneyo.
3318Lakubuya ilungisa ebulungiseni balo, lenze ngobugqwetha, lofa ngabo.
3319Akubuya ongendawo kokungendawo kwakhe, enze ngokusesikweni nangobulungisa, inene, wophila ngenxa yoko.
3320Nithi ke, Indlela yeNkosi ayilungelelene. Ndiya kunigweba, elowo ngokweendlela zakhe, ndlu kaSirayeli.
3321Ke kaloku kwathi ngomnyaka weshumi elinesibini emva kokuthinjwa kwethu, ngenyanga yeshumi, ngolwesihlanu enyangeni leyo, kwafika kum osindileyo eYerusalem, wathi, Umzi ubulewe.
3322Isandla sikaYehova saba phezu kwam ngokuhlwa, ngaphambi kokufika kosindileyo. Wawuvula ke umlomo wam, wada wafika kum kusasa; wavuleka umlomo wam, andaba saba sisidenge.
3323Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
3324Nyana womntu, abahleli emanxuweni emhlabeni wakwaSirayeli batsho ukuthi, uAbraham wayemnye, walidla ilifa ilizwe; ke thina sibaninzi, silinikiwe ilizwe ukuba silidle ilifa.
3325Ngako oko yithi kubo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Nidla into enegazi, amehlo enu niwaphakamisele ezigodweni zenu, niphalaze igazi; nolidla ilifa na ke ilizwe?
3326Nimi ngekrele lenu, nenza amasikizi, nithi elowo nimenze inqambi umfazi wommelwane wakhe; nolidla ilifa na ke izilwe?
3327Yitsho kubo ukuthi, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ndihleli nje, abo basemanxuweni baya kuwa likrele; lo usendle ndimnikele emarhamncweni, ukuba amdle; bafe yindyikitya yokufa abasezimboniselweni nasemiqolombeni.
3328Ndiya kulenza kube senkangala yakwankangala ilizwe, liphele iqhayiya lamandla alo, zibe senkangala iintaba zakwaSirayeli, kungacandi bani kuzo;
3329bazi ukuba ndinguYehova, ndakulenza kube senkangala yakwankangala ilizwe, ngenxa yamasikizi onke ababewenzile.
3330Wena ke, nyana womntu, oonyana babantu bakowenu bancokola ngawe ngasezindongeni naseminyango yezindlu, elowo ethetha nomnye, elowo nomzalwana wakhe, esithi, Khanize, sive ukuba lilizwi eliyini na eliphuma kuYehova.
3331Beza kuwe njengokuza kwabantu, bahlale phambi kwakho ngokwabantu bam, baweve amazwi akho, bangawenzi; kuba benza okukhanukwa ngumlomo wabo; intliziyo yabo ilandela inzuzo yabo embi.
3332Yabona, kubo unjengovuma ingoma emnandi, ozwi liyolileyo, olungisayo ukubetha uhadi; baweve amazwi akho, bangawenzi noko.
3333Kothi ke kwakufika oko—nanko kusiza—bazi, ukuba bekukho umprofeti phakathi kwabo.
341Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
342Nyana womntu, profeta ngabalusi bakwaSirayeli; profeta, uthi kubo, ngabalusi abo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yeha ke abalusi bakwaSirayeli, abaye bezalusa ngokwabo! Abalusi babengafanele ukwalusa umhlambi wabo, yini na?
343Amanqatha niyawadla, uboya nizambathise ngabo; ezityetyisiweyo izimvu niyazixhela, umhlambi aniwalusi.
344Ezityhafileyo anizomelezi, ezifayo aniziphilisi, ezaphukileyo anizibophi, eziziintsali anizibuyisi, ezidakileyo anizifuni; nizinyathela ngamandla kalukhuni.
345Zaba lusali ngokungabi namalusi; zaba kukudla kwamarhamncwa onke asendle, zaba lusali.
346Umhlambi wam wadungudela ezintabeni zonke, nasezindulini zonke ezinde, waba lusali umhlambi wam ebusweni bonke belizwe. Akubangakho namnye uwukhathalelayo, akwabakho namnye uwufunayo.
347Ngako oko, balusindini, liveni ilizwi likaYehova, lisithi,
348Ndihleli nje, itsho iNkosi uYehova, inyaniso, ngenxa enokuba umhlambi wam ulixhoba, umhlambi wam udliwa ngamarhamncwa onke asendle, ngokungabi namalusi; abalusi bam bengawukhathaleli umhlambi wam, abalusi bezalusa ngokwabo, bengawalusi umhlambi wam:
349ngako oko, balusindini, liveni ilizwi likaYehova, lisithi,
3410Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabonani, ndibachasile ibalusi. Ndiya kuwubiza umhlambi wam ezandleni zabo, ndibanqumamise ekwaluseni umhlambi wam, bangabi sazalusa ngokwabo abalusi; ndiwuhlangule umhlambi wam emlonyeni wabo, ungabi saba kukudla kubo.
3411Ngokuba itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabonani, mna ngokwam ndiya kuwukhathalela umhlambi wam, ndiwuvelele.
3412Njengoko umalusi awuvelelayo umhlambi wakhe, ngemini yokubakho kwakhe phakathi komhlambi wakhe othiwe saa qhu, ndiya kwenjenjalo ukuwuvelela umhlambi wam; ndiwuhlangule ezindaweni zonke, owaba lusali kuzo ngemini enamafu, enamafu amnyama.
3413Ndiya kuwukhupha ezizweni, ndiwubuthe emazweni, ndiwuse emhlabeni wawo, ndiwalusele ezintabeni zakwaSirayeli, ezihlanjeni nasezindaweni zonke ezimiweyo zelizwe.
3414Ndiya kuwalusela ebutyanini obulungileyo, libe sezintabeni ezinde zakwaSirayeli idlelo lawo; edlelweni elilungileyo, uya kubutha khona, udle utyani obutyebileyo ezintabeni zakwaSirayeli.
3415Mna ndiya kuwalusa umhlambi wam, ndiwenze ubuthe mna; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
3416Ezilahlekileyo ndiya kuzifuna, ndibuyise eziziintsali, ndibophe ezaphukileyo, ndizomeleze ezifayo; ke ezityebileyo ndozitshabalalisa, nezomeleleyo ndizaluse ngokusesikweni.
3417Nina ke, mhlambi wam, itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabonani, ndiya kugweba phakathi kweegusha neegusha, naphakathi kweenkunzi zeegusha neenkunzi zeebhokhwe.
3418Yinto encinane na kuni, ukuthi nibudle utyani obulungileyo, nize okuseleyo kotyani nikunyhashe ngamanqina enu? nisele amanzi angcwengekileyo, niwagxobhe aseleyo ngamanqina enu?
3419Umhlambi wam udla obunyhashiweyo ngamanquna enu; usela agxojiweyo ngamanqina enu.
3420Ngako oko itsho iNkosi uYehova kuzo ukuthi, Yabonani, mna ndiya kugweba phakathi kweegusha ezityebileyo neegusha ezinqinileyo.
3421Ngenxa enokuba nityhala ngehleza nangegxalaba, nizihlabe ngeempondo zenu ezityhafileyo zonke, nide nizenze zibe lusali, zigqibe ilizwe:
3422ndowusindisa umhlambi wam, ungabi saba lixhoba, ndigwebe phakathi kweegusha neegusha.
3423Ndomisa phezu kwawo umalusi abe mnye, awaluse, umkhonzi wam uDavide; yena uya kuwalusa, abe ngumalusi wawo yena;
3424mna Yehova ndibe nguThixo wawo, umkhonzi wam uDavide abe sisikhulu phakathi kwawo; mna Yehova ndithethile.
3425Ndiya kuwenzela umnqophiso woxolo, ndiwaphelise amarhamncwa amabi elizweni, uhlale entlango ukholosile, ulale emahlathini.
3426Ndowenza wona, kwaneendawo ezingeenxa zonke endulini yam, ube yintsikelelo; ndihlise imvula ngexesha elililo; iya kuba yimvula yentsikelelo.
3427Umthi wasendle wonika isiqhamo sawo, ilizwe linike indyebo yalo, banqabe emhlabeni wabo; bazi ukuba ndinguYehova, ekuzaphuleni kwam izikeyi zedyokhwe, ndibahlangule esandleni sabo babebakhonzisa.
3428Abayi kuba saba lixhoba leentlanga, angabadli amarhamncwa elizwe; bahlale bekholosile, kungabikho ubothusayo.
3429Ndobavelisela isityalo sokuba ludumo, bangabi sasuswa yindlala ezweni, bangabi sathwala hlazo leentlanga.
3430Baya kwazi ukuba mna Yehova Thixo wabo ndinabo, bangabantu bam bona, indlu kaSirayeli; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
3431Nina ke ningumhlambi wam, umhlambi wedlelo lam; nisisintu, ndinguThixo wenu; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
351Ke kaloku kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
352Nyana womntu, bhekisa ubuso bakho entabeni yakwaSehire, uprofete ngayo,
353uthi kuyo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabona, ndikuchasile, ntaba yakwaSehire. Ndosolulela isandla sam phezu kwakho, ndikwenze kube senkangala yakwankangala.
354Imizi yakho ndiya kuyenza amanxuwa, ube senkangala; wazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
355Ngenxa enokuba waba nobutshaba obungunaphakade, wabanikela esandleni sekrele oonyana bakaSirayeli ngexesha lokusindeka kwabo, ngexesha lobugwenxa bokuphela:
356ngako oko, ndihleli nje, itsho iNkosi uYehova, ndiya kukwenza igazi; lokusukela ke igazi; ngokokuba ungalithiyanga igazi, lokusukela igazi.
357Ndoyenza kube senkangala yakwankangala intaba yakwaSehire, ndinqumle kuyo odlulayo nobuyayo.
358Ndiya kuzizalisa iintaba zakhe ngababuleweyo bakhe; ezindulini zakho, nasemifuleni yakho, nasezihlanjeni zakho zonke, ababuleweyo ngekrele bawe kuzo.
359Ndiya kukwenza kube senkangala kuwe ngonaphakade, imizi yakho ingemiwa mntu; nazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
3510Ngenxa enokuba usithi, Iintlanga ezi zombini namazwe la omabini ngawam, sowahlutha; ukanti uYehova ukhona;
3511ngako oko ndihleli nje, itsho iNkosi uYehova, ndiya kwenza kuwe ngokomsindo wakho, nangokobukhwele bakho, obenzileyo kubo ngentiyo yakho; ndizazise kubo, xenikweni ndithe ndakugweba.
3512Uya kwazi ukuba mna Yehova ndikuvile konke ukugiba kwakho, owakuthethayo ngeentaba zakwaSirayeli, usithi, Kusenkangala kuzo, sizinikiwe ukuba zibe kukudla.
3513Nizikhulisele ngam ngemilomo yenu, nawafumba phezu kwam amazwi enu; ndivile ke mna.
3514Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Lakuvuya ihlabathi lonke, ndokwenza kube senkangala kuwe.
3515Njengoko walivuyelayo ilifa lendlu kaSirayeli, ngenxa yokuba bekusenkangala kulo, ndiya kwenjenjalo kuwe; kuya kuba senkangala kuwe, ntaba yakwaSehire, nelakwaEdom lonke liphela; bazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
361Wena ke, nyana womntu, profeta ngazo iintaba zakwaSirayeli, uthi, Zintaba zakwaSirayeli, liveni ilizwi likaYehova!
362Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ngenxa enokuba utshaba lusithi ngani, Tshotsho, imimango engunaphakade ibililifa lethu!
363ngako oko profeta uthi, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ngenxa enokuba, ewe, ngenxa enokuba benenze kwaba senkangala, baniginya ngeenxa zonke, ukuze nibe lilifa lamasalela eentlanga, naba semilonyeni yabanolwimi nasentlebendwaneni yabantu:
364ngako oko, nina zintaba zakwaSirayeli, liveni ilizwi leNkosi uYehova, lisithi, Itsho iNkosi uYehova kwiintaba nakwiinduli, kwizihlambo nakwimifula, kwiindawo ezibharhileyo ezingamanxuwa nakwimizi eshiyiweyo, eyaba lixhoba nesigculelo samasalela eentlanga ezingeenxa zonke;
365ngako oko, itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Inyaniso, ndithethe ngomlilo wobukhwele bam ngawo amasalela eentlanga, nangamaEdom onke ephela, alenze ilifa lawo ilizwe lam, evuyile ngentliziyo yonke, ecukuceza ngomphefumlo, ukuze alilahle libe lixhoba.
366Ngako oko, profeta ngomhlaba wakwaSirayeli, uthi kwiintaba nakwiinduli, kwizihlambo nakwimifula, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabonani, ndithethe ndinobukhwele, ndinobushushu, ngenxa enokuba nilithwele ihlazo leentlanga.
367Ngako oko, itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Mna ndisiphakamisile isandla sam; inyaniso, iintlanga ezingeenxa zonke kuni, zona ziya kuthwala ihlazo lazo.
368Ke nina, zintaba zakwaSirayeli, niya kuvelisa amasebe, iziqhamo zenu nizixakathele abantu bam amaSirayeli; ngokuba sekukufuphi ukuvela kwazo.
369Ngokuba, niyabona, ndingakuni; ndobuyela kuni, nilinywe, nihlwayelwe.
3610Ndiya kwandisela abantu phezu kwenu, yonke indlu kaSirayeli, yonke iphela, imiwe imizi, akhiwe amanxuwa.
3611Ndiya kwandisela abantu ke neenkomo phezu kwenu, bande, baqhame; ndinenze nimiwe ngokwangaphambili ke, ndinenzele okulungileyo ngaphezu kokwasekuqaleni kwenu; nazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
3612Ndohambisa abantu phezu kwenu, abantu bam amaSirayeli, bakuzuze ube lilifa labo, ungasabuyi ubahluthe abantwana.
3613Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ngenxa enokuba bathi kuwe, Usisidlabantu, uluhluthe abantwana uhlanga lwakho:
3614ngako oko akuyi kubuya ube sisidlabantu, ungabuyi ulukhubekise uhlanga lwakho; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
3615Andiyi kubuya ndikuvise ihlazo leentlanga, ungabuyi usithwale isingcikivo sezizwe, ungabuyi ulukhubekise uhlanga lwakho; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
3616Kwafika ke ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
3617Nyana womntu, xa indlu kaSirayeli yabe ihleli emhlabeni wayo, bawenza inqambi ngeendlela zabo nangeentlondi zabo; iindlela zabo phambi kwam zaba njengobunqambi bomfazi onomzi.
3618Ndaphalaza ubushushu bam phezu kwabo ngenxa yegazi, ababeliphalaze ezweni elo, nangenxa yokulenza inqambi kwabo ngezigodo zabo.
3619Ndabenza baba lusali ezintlangeni, bachithwachithwa emazweni; ndabagweba ngokweendlela zabo, nangokweentlondi zabo.
3620Bafika ezintlangeni ezo babesiya kuzo, balihlambela igama lam elingcwele; ekubeni bekusithiwa ngabo, Ngabantu bakaYehova aba, baphume ezweni lakhe.
3621Ndaba nofefe ngenxa yegama lam elingcwele, ebeyilihlambele indlu kaSirayeli ezintlangeni abaya kuzo.
3622Ngako oko yithi kwindlu kaSirayeli, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Andenzi ngenxa yenu, ndlu kaSirayeli; ndenza ngenxa yegama lam elingcwele, enilihlambeleyo ezintlangeni ebe niye kuzo.
3623Ndiya kulingcwalisa igama lam elikhulu, elihlanjelweyo ezintlangeni, enilihlambeleyo phakathi kwazo; ukuze zazi iintlanga ukuba ndinguYehova, itsho iNkosi uYehova, ndakuzingcwalisa ngokwam kuni emehlweni azo.
3624Ndonithabatha ke ezintlangeni, ndinibuthe emazweni onke, ndinise emhlabeni wenu.
3625Ndiya kunitshiza ngamanzi amhlophe, nihlambuluke; ndinihlambulule kubunqambi benu bonke, nakwizigodo zenu zonke.
3626Ndoninika intliziyo entsha, ndininike umoya omtsha ngaphakathi kwenu; ndiyisuse intliziyo elilitye enyameni yenu, ndininike intliziyo eyinyama.
3627Ndofaka uMoya wam ngaphakathi kwenu, ndinenze nihambe ngemimiselo yam, niwagcine amasiko am, niwenze;
3628niya kuhlala ezweni endalinika ooyihlo; nibe ngabantu bam, mna ndibe nguThixo wenu.
3629Ndiya kunisindisa ebunqambini benu bonke, ndibize ingqolowa, ndiyandise, ndinganiziseli indlala.
3630Ndosandisa isiqhamo somthi nokuphuma emasimini, ukuze ningabuyi namkeliswe isingcikivo sendlala ezintlangeni.
3631Niya kuzikhumbula ke iindlela zenu ezimbi, neentlondi zenu ezingalungileyo, nizikruqukele ngokwenu, ngenxa yobugwenxa benu nangenxa yamasikizi enu.
3632Andiyi kukwenza oku ngenxa yenu, itsho iNkosi uYehova; makwazeke oko kuni. Danani, nibe nehlazo ngenxa yeendlela zenu, ndlu kaSirayeli.
3633Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ngemini endiya kunihlambulula ngayo ebugwenxeni benu bonke, ndiya kuyenza imizi ukuba imiwe, akhiwe amanxuwa.
3634Ilizwe ebe kusenkangala kulo liya kulinywa, endaweni yokuba bekusenkangala kulo emehlweni abo bonke abadlulayo.
3635Baya kuthi, Eli lizwe, bekusenkangala kulo, lisuke laba njengomyezo wase-Eden; nemizi ebeyibharhile, ebingamanxuwa, ebigungxulwe, imiwe, inqatyisiwe.
3636Ziya kwazi ke iintlanga eziseleyo ngeenxa zonke kuni, ukuba mna Yehova ndakha into egungxulweyo, ndiyityale indawo ebe kusenkangala kuyo. Mna Yehova ndithethile, ndiya kwenza.
3637Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ngale nto ndisaya kuquqelwa yindlu kaSirayeli, ukuba ndibenzele; ndiya kubandisa babe sisintu njengomhlambi;
3638njengomhlambi ongamadini angcwele, njengomhlambi waseYerusalem ngamaxesha ayo amisiweyo; ukuzala yimihlambi yabantu, iya kuba njalo imizi engamanxuwa; bazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
371Saba phezu kwam isandla sikaYehova; waphuma nam uYehova, ndikuMoya, wandibeka entilini phakathi; yona ke izele ngamathambo.
372Wandidlulisa kuwo, wandijikelezisa ngeenxa zonke; yabona, ebemaninzi kakhulu entilini leyo; yabona, ebeselomile kakhulu.
373Wathi ke kum, Nyana womntu, aya kuphila na ke la mathambo? Ndathi, Nkosi Yehova, kwazi wena.
374Wathi kum, Profeta phezu kwala mathambo, uthi kuwo, Mathambondini, liveni ilizwi likaYehova.
375Itsho iNkosi uYehova kula mathambo, ukuthi, Niyabona, ndingenisa umoya kuni; niya kuphila ke.
376Ndiya kunifaka imisipha, ndimilise kuni inyama, ndinaleke ngolusu, ndifake umoya ngaphakathi kwenu, niphile; nazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
377Ndaprofeta ngoko bendiwiselwe umthetho ngako; kwabakho isandi ndakuprofeta; nanko kurhashaza, asondelelana amathambo, ithambo lasondela kwithambo lalo.
378Ndakhangela, nanko kukho imisipha kuwo, yamila inyama, kwaleka ulusu luthabathela phezulu; umoya ke awabakho.
379Wathi kum, Profeta kuwo umoya, profeta, nyana womntu, uthi kuwo umoya, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Vela, moya kwimimoya yomine, uphefumlele kwaba babuleweyo, baphile.
3710Ndaprofeta ke ngoko bendiwiselwe umthetho ngako. Wangena umoya kuwo; baphila, bema ngeenyawo, umkhosi omkhulu kakhulu kunene.
3711Wathi ke kum, Nyana womntu, la mathambo yindlu kaSirayeli yonke; yabona, bathi, Amathambo ethu omile, nethemba lethu lidakile, sinqanyulwe.
3712Ngako oko profeta, uthi kubo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabonani, ndiya kuwavula amangcwaba enu, ndininyuse niphume emangcwabeni enu, bantu bam, ndinise emhlabeni wakwaSirayeli.
3713Niya kwazi ukuba ndinguYehova, ekuwavuleni kwam amangcwaba enu, nasekuninyuseni kwam, niphume emangcwabeni enu, bantu bam.
3714Ndofaka uMoya wam kuni, niphile, ndinibeke emhlabeni wenu; nazi ukuba mna Yehova ndithethile, ndiya kwenza; utsho uYehova.
3715Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
3716Wena ke, nyana womntu, thabathela kuwe intonga ibe nye, ubhale kuyo uthi, EkaYuda, neyoonyana bakaSirayeli, amadlelane akhe; uthabathe enye intonga ubhale kuyo uthi, EkaYosefu (intonga kaEfrayim), nendlu yonke kaSirayeli, amadlelane akhe;
3717uzisondeze ke, enye kwenye, zibe ntonga-nye, zibe nto-nye esandleni sakho.
3718Bothi bakuthetha nawe oonyana babantu bakowenu, besithi, Akasixeleli na, ziyintoni na ezi ntonga kuwe?
3719uthi wena kubo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabonani, ndiya kuyithabatha intonga kaYosefu, esesandleni sikaEfrayim nezizwe zikaSirayeli, amadlelane akhe endiwabeke kuyo ndawonye nentonga kaYuda, ndibenze babe ntonga-nye, babe nto-nye esandleni sam.
3720Iintonga obhale kuzo zize zibe sesandleni sakho emehlweni abo.
3721Uze uthi kubo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabonani, ndiya kubathabatha oonyana bakaSirayeli phakathi kweentlanga abahamba kuzo, ndibabuthe, bavele ngeenxa zonke, ndibase emhlabeni wabo.
3722Ndobenza luhlanga lunye elizweni elo, ezintabeni zakwaSirayeli, abe mnye ukumkani, engukumkani wabo bonke bephela; bangabuyi babe ziintlanga ezimbini, bangabuyi bahluke babe zizikumkani ezibini.
3723Abayi kubuya bazenze iinqambi ngezigodo zabo, nangezinto zabo ezinezothe, nangezikreqo zabo zonke; ke ndobasindisa emakhayeni abo onke, ababesona kuwo, ndibahlambulule, babe ngabantu bam, ndibe nguThixo wabo.
3724Umkhonzi wam uDavide woba ngukumkani kubo, abe ngumalusi omnye kubo bonke bephela; bahambe ngamasiko am, bagcine imimiselo yam, bayenze.
3725Bohlala ezweni elo, ndalinika umkhonzi wam uYakobi, ababehleli kulo ooyise; bahlale ke khona, bona nabantwana babantwana babo kude kuse ephakadeni; uDavide, umkhonzi wam, abe sisikhulu sabo ngonaphakade.
3726Ndobenzela umnqophiso woxolo; uya kuba ngumnqophiso ongunaphakade kubo; ndibamise, ndibandise, ndibeke ingcwele yam phakathi kwabo ngonaphakade.
3727Umnquba wam uya kuba phezu kwabo, ndibe nguThixo wabo, babe ngabantu bam:
3728zazi iintlanga ukuba ndinguYehova ongcwalise amaSirayeli, xa ingcwele yam iya kubakho phakathi kwabo ngonaphakade.
381Ke kaloku, kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
382Nyana womntu, bubhekise ubuso bakho kuGogi wasezweni lakwaMagogi, isikhulu sakwaRoshe noMesheki noTubhali, uprofete ngaye.
383Yithi, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabona, ndikuchasile, Gogi, sikhulu sakwaRoshe noMesheki noTubhali.
384Ndiya kukuphambanisa, ndikufake amakhonkco emihlathini, ndikurhole nempi yakho yonke, amahashe nabamahashe, abaxhobe baphelelisela bonke bephela, ibandla elikhulu, benamakhaka neengweletshetshe, bephethe amakrele bonke bephela:
385benamaPersi namaKushi namaPuti, onke ephela eneengweletshetshe nezigcina-ntloko;
386uGomere namahlelo akhe onke, nendlu kaTogarma ezingontsini zasentla, inamahlelo akhe onke; izizwe ezininzi zinawe.
387Lunga, uzilungisele iinto zonke, wena nebandla lakho lonke, elibizelwe ndawonye kuwe, ube ngumgcini walo.
388Emva kwemihla emininzi uya kuvelelwa; ekupheleni kweminyaka leyo uya kufika elizweni elibuyisiweyo ekreleni, libuthiwe ezizweni ezininzi; ufike ezintabeni zakwaSirayeli ezahlala zibharhile. Lona likhutshwe ezizweni, baza bahlala bekholosile bonke bephela.
389Uya kunyuka uze njengesiphango, njengelifu ukulisibekela ilizwe, wena namahlelo akho onke, nezizwe ezininzi ezinawe.
3810Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ngaloo mini, kuya kuthi qatha izinto entliziyweni yakho, ucinge ingcinga embi.
3811Uya kuthi, Ndiya kunyuka ndiye ezweni lamaphandle; ndiya kubafikela abazolileyo, abahleli bekholosile bonke bephela, abahleli bengenazindonga, bengenamivalo nazingcango;
3812ukuba uthimbe, uhlasele amaxhoba, usibuyisele isandla sakho kumanxuwa amiweyo, nakubantu abahlanganisiweyo ezintlangeni, bezuze imfuyo nempahla, abahleli esazulwini somhlaba.
3813OoShebha noDedan, nabarhwebi baseTarshishe, neengonyama ezintsha zabo zonke, baya kuthi kuwe, Uze kuthimba na, ukuba lihlasele amaxhoba na ibandla lakho olibizele ndawonye? ukuba limke negolide nesilivere, lithabathe imfuyo nempahla, lithimbe kakhulu na?
3814Ngako oko profeta, nyana womntu, uthi kuGogi, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Akuyi kuba njalo na ngaloo mini, ekuhlaleni kwabantu bam amaSirayeli bekholosile, uya kuyazi loo nto?
3815Uya kuphuma endaweni yakho, ezingontsini zasentla, wena nezizwe ezininzi ezinawe, bekhwele emahasheni bonke bephela, ibandla elikhulu, impi eninzi;
3816unyuke ubafikele bantu bam amaSirayeli njengelifu, ukuba ulisibekele ilizwe. Ekupheleni kwemihla kuya kubakho oko, ndikuse, ulifikele ilizwe lam, ukuze iintlanga zindazi, ekuzingcwaliseni kwam kuwe emehlweni azo, Gogi.
3817Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Nguwe na lowa, ndandithetha yena ngeemini zamandulo ngomlomo wabakhonzi bam, abaprofeti bakwaSirayeli, ababeprofeta iminyaka kwezo mini ngelithi, ndokuzisa phezu kwabo?
3818Kuya kuthi ngaloo mini, ngemini yokuwufikela kukaGogi umhlaba wakwaSirayeli, itsho iNkosi uYehova, bunyuke ubushushu bam emathatheni am.
3819Ke ndithethe ndinobukhwele, ndinomlilo wokuphuphuma komsindo wam. Inyaniso, ngaloo mini kuya kubakho ukunyikima okukhulu emhlabeni wakwaSirayeli.
3820Ziya kunyikima phambi kwam iintlanzi zolwandle, neentaka zezulu, namarhamncwa asendle, nezinambuzane zonke ezinambuzelayo emhlabeni, nabantu bonke abasebusweni bomhlaba, zigungxulwe iintaba, iwe imixawuka, zonke iindonga ziwe emhlabeni.
3821Ndombizela ikrele ezintabeni zam zonke, itsho iNkosi uYehova; ikrele lomntu liya kuma kumzalwana wakhe.
3822Ndiya kumgweba ngendyikitya yokufa nangegazi; nangesiphango esikhukulayo, nangamatye esichotho, umlilo nesulfure ndiwunise phezu kwakhe, naphezu kwamahlelo akhe, naphezu kwezizwe ezininzi ezinaye.
3823Ndiya kuzikhulisa, ndizingcwalise, ndizazise ngokwam emehlweni eentlanga ezininzi; zazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
391Wena ke, nyana womntu, profeta ngoGogi, uthi, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabona, ndikuchasile, Gogi, sikhulu sakwaRoshe noMesheki noTubhali.
392Ndiya kukuphambanisa, ndikurhole, ndikunyuse uphume ezingontsini zasentla, ndikuse ezintabeni zakwaSirayeli.
393Ndosithi qhwithi isaphetha sakho esandleni sakho sokhohlo, ndiziwise iintolo zakho esandleni sakho sokunene.
394Uya kuwa ezintabeni zakwaSirayeli, wena namahlelo akho onke, nezizwe ezinawe. Ndiya kukunikela ezintakeni ezixwilayo zeentlobo ngeentlobo, nasemarhamncweni asendle, ukuba ube kukudla.
395Uya kuwa ebusweni belizwe, ngokuba ndithethile; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
396Nothumela umlilo kwaMagogi, nakubemi beziqithi abakholosileyo; bazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
397Ndiya kulazisa igama lam elingcwele phakathi kwabantu bam amaSirayeli, ndingabuyi ndilingcolise igama lam elingcwele; zazi iintlanga ukuba ndinguYehova, oyiNgcwele kwaSirayeli.
398Yabona, le nto iyeza, iya kubakho; itsho iNkosi uYehova; yiloo mini ndandithetha yona.
399Ke baya kuphuma abemi bemizi yakwaSirayeli, baphembe babase umlilo ngezikrweqe, nangeengweletshetshe, nangamakhaka, ngezaphetha, nangeentolo, nangeenduku, nangezikhali; baphembe umlilo ngazo iminyaka esixhenxe.
3910Abayi kutheza ziinkuni endle, bangagawuli nasemahlathini; ngokuba baya kuwuphemba ngezikrweqe umlilo; bathimbe kwabo babethinjwe ngabo, baphange ababephangwe ngabo; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
3911Kuya kuthi ngaloo mini, ndimnike uGogi indawo, apho liya kuba khona ingcwaba lakhe kwaSirayeli, umfula wabadluli ngasempumalanga elwandle; ubavalele abadluli; bamngcwabele khona uGogi nengxokolo yakhe yonke, bathi ngumfula wengxokolo kaGogi.
3912Indlu kaSirayeli yoba neenyanga ezisixhenxe ibangcwaba, ukuze balihlambulule ilizwe;
3913bonke abantu belizwe eli bangcwabe, kube ludumo kubo mini ndizizukisayo; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
3914Baya kubalula amadoda anomonde acandacanda elizweni, nahamba nalawo acandacandayo, angcwabe abaseleyo ebusweni belizwe, ukuba alihlambulule. Ekupheleni kweenyanga ezisixhenxe aya kuligocagoca.
3915Baya kucanda abacandacanda elizweni, babone ithambo lomntu, bamise umthelekelelo ecaleni kwalo, bade abangcwabi abo balingcwabe emfuleni wengxokolo kaGogi.
3916Igama lomzi okhona liya kuba nguNgxokolo; balihlambulule ke ilizwe.
3917Wena ke, nyana womntu, itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yithi, kwiintaka zeentlobo ngeentlobo, nakumarhamncwa onke asendle, Buthanani nize; zihlanganiseni ngeenxa zonke embingelelweni wam endinibingeleleyo, umbingelelo omkhulu ezintabeni zakwaSirayeli; nidle inyama, nisele igazi.
3918Niya kudla inyama yamagorha, nisele igazi lezikhulu zehlabathi, iinkunzi zeegusha, namatakane, neenkunzi zeebhokhwe, neenkunzi zeenkomo ezintsha ezityetyisiweyo zaseBhashan, zonke ziphela.
3919Nodla amanqatha nihluthe, nisele igazi ninxile embingelelweni wam endinibingeleleyo;
3920nihluthe esithebeni sam ngamahashe nangabamahashe, ngamagorha namadoda onke okulwa; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
3921Ndiya kubumisa ubuqaqawuli bam ezintlangeni, ziwubone iintlanga zonke umgwebo wam endiya kuwenza, nesandla sam endiya kusisa kuzo.
3922Iya kwazi indlu kaSirayeli ukuba ndinguYehova uThixo wabo, ithabathela kuyo le mini ise naphi.
3923Neentlanga ziya kwazi ukuba indlu kaSirayeli yathinjwa ngenxa yobugwenxa babo; ngenxa enokuba bamenezayo kum, ndabusithelisa ubuso bam kubo, ndabanikela esandleni sababandezeli babo, bawa likrele bonke bephela.
3924Ndabenza ngokobunqambi babo nangokwezikreqo zabo, ndabusithelisa ubuso bam kubo.
3925Ngako oko, itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Kaloku ndiya kukubuyisa ukuthinjwa kukaYakobi, ndisikwe yimfesane ngenxa yendlu yonke kaSirayeli, ndibe nobukhwele ngegama lam elingcwele.
3926Baya kulithwala ihlazo labo, nobumenemene babo bonke ababemeneza ngabo kum, ekuhlaleni kwabo emhlabeni wabo bekholosile, kungekho ubothusayo.
3927Ekubabuyiseni kwam ezizweni, ekubabutheni kwam emazweni eentshaba zabo, ndozingcwalisa kubo emehlweni eentlanga ezininzi.
3928Baya kwazi ukuba ndinguYehova uThixo wabo, owenza ukuba bathinjelwe ezintlangeni, ndize ndibawomelisele emhlabeni wabo, ndingabuyi ndishiye namnye kubo khona.
3929Andiyi kuba sabusithelisa ubuso bam kubo, ngokokuba ndithulule uMoya wam phezu kwendlu kaSirayeli; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
401Ngomnyaka wamashumi omabini anamihlanu wokuthinjwa kwethu, ekuqalekeni komnyaka, ngolweshumi enyangeni leyo, ngomnyaka weshumi elinesine emva kokuxatyelwa komzi, ngayo kanye loo mini, isandla sikaYehova saba phezu kwam, wandisa khona.
402Ngemibono kaThixo wandisa ezweni lakwaSirayeli elo, wandibeka entabeni ephakamileyo kakhulu; phezu kwayo kwanga sisakhiwo somzi ngasezantsi.
403Wandisa khona: nanko umntu, okubonakala kunjengokubonakala kobhedu, ephethe intsontelo yeflakisi ngesandla, nengcongolo yokulinganisa; waye ke emi esangweni.
404Wathetha nam loo mntu, wathi, Nyana womntu, khangela ngamehlo akho, uve ngeendlebe zakho, ugqale ngentliziyo yakho zonke izinto endikubonisa zona; ngokuba uziswe apha ukuze uboniswe. Xelela indlu kaSirayeli konke okubonayo.
405Nanko ke, kukho udonga ngaphandle kwendlu, olujikelezileyo ngeenxa zonke, isesandleni somntu lowo ingcongolo yokulinganisa, iziikubhite ezintandathu, iyileyo iyikubhite enobubanzi besandla. Wabulinganisa ububanzi besakhiwo; baba yingcongolo enye, ukuphakama kwayingcongolo enye.
406Waya esangweni elibheke empumalanga, wenyuka ngezinyuko zalo, walinganisa omnye umbundu wesango; waba yingcongolo enye ububanzi, omnye umbundu ke wokuqala wayingcongolo enye ububanzi.
407Negumbi lokulinda laba yingcongolo enye ubude, layingcongolo enye ububanzi; phakathi kwamagumbi okulinda zaziikubhite ezintlanu; umbundu wesango, ongasevarandeni yesango enganeno kwayo indlu, wayingcongolo enye.
408Walinganisa ivaranda yesango leyo inganeno kwayo indlu, yayingcongolo enye.
409Walinganisa ivaranda yesango ke, yaziikubhite ezisibhozo, iintsika zayo zaziikubhite ezimbini; ke ivaranda yesango yayinganeno kwayo indlu.
4010Ke amagumbi okulinda, esango elisingise empumalanga, aba mathathu ngapha, aba mathathu nangapha, aba mlinganiso mnye omathathu, zaba mlinganiso mnye iintsika ngapha nangapha.
4011Walinganisa ububanzi bokungena kwesango, baziikubhite ezilishumi; ubude besango ngalinye baziikubhite ezilishumi elinazithathu.
4012Ke umda phambi kwamagumbi okulinda wawuyikubhite enye ngapha, wayikubhite enye nangapha umda; amagumbi okulinda aba ziikubhite ezintandathu ngapha, aba ziikubhite ezintandathu nangapha.
4013Walinganisa isango, ethabathela eluphahleni lwamagumbi okulinda, esa eluphahleni lwamanye; laba ziikubhite ezimashumi mabini anantlanu ububanzi; umnyango ulunge nomnyango.
4014Iintsika wazenza zangamashumi omathandathu eekubhite; yeza kuma ngentsika intendelezo ejikelezileyo ngeenxa zonke esangweni.
4015Ke ukuthabathela phambi kwesango lokungena, kuse phambi kwevaranda yesango eliphakathi, zabaziikubhite ezimashumi mahlanu.
4016Bekukho iifestile ezi valiweyo emagumbini okulinda nasezintsikeni zawo ngecala eliphakathi esangweni, zijikelezile ngeenxa zonke; bekukwanjalo nasezingqamekweni. Bekukho iifestile ngaphakathi, zijikelezile ngeenxa zonke; bekukho namasundu ezintsikeni.
4017Wandisa entendelezweni ephandle; nanko, kwenziwe amagumbi nombekelelo wamatye, kwajikeleza ngeenxa zonke entendelezweni; yayingamagumbi angamashumi mathathu embekelelweni wamatye.
4018Umbekelelo wamatye ubusemacaleni amasango, ulungelelene nobude bamasango; umbekelelo lowo uphantsi.
4019Walinganisa ububanzi, ethabathela phambi kwesango lentendelezo ephantsi, esa phambi kwelentendelezo ephakathi nganeno kwalo; zalikhulu leekubhite ngasempumalanga nangasentla.
4020Isango elibheke entla ngasentendelezweni ephandle, wabulinganisa ubude balo nobubanzi balo;
4021namagumbi okulinda amathathu ngapha, amathathu nangapha, neentsika zalo, neengqameko zalo. Laba ngangomlinganiso wesango lokuqala; baziikubhite ezimashumi mahlanu ubude balo, nobubanzi balo baziikubhite ezimashumi mabini anantlanu.
4022Iifestile zalo, neengqameko zalo, namasundu alo, zaba ngangomlinganiso wesango elibheke empumalanga; benyuka ngezinyuko ezisixhenxe ukuya kulo; neengqameko zalo zaba phambi kwazo.
4023Amasango entendelezo ephakathi alunga nesango langasentla nelangasempumalanga; walinganisa, wathabathela esangweni, wesa esangweni; zalikhulu leekubhite.
4024Wandihambisa wandisingisa ezantsi; nali isango, lisingise ezantsi; walinganisa iintsika zalo neengqameko zalo kwangokwaloo milinganiso.
4025Bekukho iifestile kulo nakwiingqameko zalo, zijikelezile ngeenxa zonke, njengeziya iifestile; zaba ziikubhite ezimashumi mahlanu ubude, baziikubhite ezimashumi mabini anantlanu ububanzi.
4026Ukunyuka ukuya kulo kwaba nezinyuko ezisixhenxe, nezingqameko zalo zaziphambi kwazo; belinamasundu, elinye lingapha, elinye lingapha, ezintsikeni zalo.
4027Bekukho isango elisa entendelezweni ephakathi, elisingise ezantsi; walinganisa ethabathela esangweni elo, esa esangweni elisingise ezantsi; zaba ziikubhite ezilikhulu.
4028Wandisa entendelezweni ephakathi ngesango lasezantsi, walilinganisa isango lasezantsi kwangokwaloo milinganiso;
4029namagumbi alo okulinda, neentsika zalo, neengqameko zalo, kwangokwaloo milinganiso. Bekukho iifestile kulo nakwiingqameko zalo, zijikelezile ngeenxa zonke; zaba ziikubhite ezimashumi mahlanu ubude, zaba ziikubhite ezimashumi mabini anantlanu ububanzi.
4030Iingqameko zajikeleza ngeenxa zonke: zaba ziikubhite ezimashumi mabini anantlanu ubude, zaba ziikubhite ezintlanu ububanzi.
4031Iingqameko zalo zabheka entendeezweni ephandle; zibe zinamasundu iintsika zalo. Ukunyuka ukuya kulo kwaba nezinyuko ezisibhozo.
4032Wandisa entendelezweni ephakathi, esingise empumalanga, walilinganisa isango kwangokwaloo milinganiso;
4033namagumbi alo okulinda, neentsika zalo, neengqameko zalo, kwangokwaloo milinganiso. Bekukho iifestile kulo, nakwiingqameko zalo, zijikelezile ngeenxa zonke; aba ziikubhite ezimashumi mahlanu ubude, zaba ziikubhite ezimashumi mabini anantlanu ububanzi.
4034Iingqameko zalo zabheka entendelezweni ephandle; zibe zinamasundu iintsika ngapha nangapha. Ukunyuka ukuya kulo kwaba nezinyuko ezisibhozo.
4035Wandisa esangweni lasentla, walilinganisa kwangokwaloo milinganiso;
4036namagumbi alo okulinda, neentsika zalo, neengqameko zalo. Bekukho iifestile kulo, zijikelezile ngeenxa zonke; zaba ziikubhite ezimashumi mahlanu ubude, zaba ziikubhite ezimashumi mabini anantlanu ububanzi.
4037Iintsika zalo zakhangela entendelezweni ephandle; zinamasundu iintsika zalo ngapha nangapha. Ukunyuka ukuya kulo kwaba nezinyuko ezisibhozo.
4038Igumbi nomnyango walo lalingasezintsikeni zamasango; bebewahlamba khona amadini anyukayo.
4039Evarandeni yesango bekukho iitafile ezimbini ngapha, iitafile ezimbini nangapha, zokuxhelela amadini anyukayo, nawesono, nawetyala.
4040Ecaleni elingaphandle, konyukayo esiya ekungeneni kwesango ngasentla, bekukho iitafile ezimbini; nakwelinye icala ngasevarandeni yesango bekukho iitafile ezimbini.
4041Kwabakho iitafile ezine ngapha, iitafile ezine nangapha, ecaleni lesango; ziitafile ezisibhozo, zokuxhelela kuzo.
4042Kananjalo bekukho neetafile ezine ngasezinyukweni zamatye aqingqiweyo, aba yikubhite enye enesiqingatha ubude, ikubhite enye enesiqingatha ububanzi, ikubhite enye ukuphakama, ukuze babeke kuzo iimpahla zokuxhela amadini anyukayo nemibingelelo.
4043Amabhaxa angangobubanzi besandla, abe eqiniselweendlwini, ajikeleza ngeenxa zonke; yaye isezitafileni inyama yomsondezo.
4044Ngaphandle kwesango eliphakathi bekukho amagumbi amabini entendelezweni ephakathi; elinye lingasecaleni lesango lasentla, libheke ezantsi, elinye lingasecaleni lesango lasezantsi, libheke entla.
4045Wathi kum, Eli gumbi, libheke ezantsi, lelababingeleli abagcina isigxina sendlu le.
4046Igumbi elibheke entla lelababingeleli abagcina isigcina sesibingelelo. Bona bangoonyana bakaTsadoki, koonyana bakaLevi, abasondelayo kuYehova ukuba balungiselele kuye.
4047Wayilinganisa intendelezo; zaba ziikubhite ezilikhulu ubude, zaba ziikubhite ezilikhulu nobubanzi; imbombo-ne; isibingelelo ke besiphambi kwayo indlu.
4048Wandisa evarandeni yayo indlu, walinganisa intsika yevaranda: iikubhite zontlanu ngapha, iikubhite zontlanu ngapha; ububanzi besango baziikubhite ezintathu ngapha, iikubhite ezintathu nangapha.
4049Ubude bevaranda baba ziikubhite ezimashumi mabini, ububanzi baba ziikubhite ezilishumi elinanye ngasezinyukweni, ebe kunyukwa ngazo kuyiwe kuyo. Bekukho iintsika ngasezintsikeni zomnyango, enye ngapha, enye nangapha.
411Wandisa etempileni, walinganisa iintsika; zaba ziikubhite ezintandathu ububanzi ngapha, zaba ziikubhite ezintandathu ububanzi nangapha; bububanzi ke bentente.
412Ububanzi bomnyango bebuziikubhite ezilishumi; amacala omnyango aba ziikubhite ezintlanu ngapha, iikubhite ezintlanu nangapha. Wabulinganisa ubude bayo, baziikubhite ezimashumi mane, ububanzi baziikubhite ezimashumi mabini.
413Wangena ke ngaphakathi, walinganisa intsika yomnyango; yaziikubhite ezimbini, nomnyango waziikubhite ezintandathu ukuphakama, ububanzi bomnyango baziikubhite ezisixhenxe.
414Wabulinganisa ubude bayo, baziikubhite ezimashumi mabini, ububanzi baziikubhite ezimashumi mabini, wabhekisa etempileni; wathi kum, Yingcwele kangcwele le.
415Walulinganisa udonga lwendlu, lwaziikubhite ezintandathu, ububanzi bendawo yokwayama baziikubhite ezine; yajikeleza ngeenxa zonke endlwini leyo.
416Amagumbi endawo yokwayama aba mathathu, igumbi phezu kwegumbi, aba mashumi mathathu; aya kufika eludongeni ebeyinalo indlu le, ngasemagumbini endawo yokwayama, eyajikeleza ngeenxa zonke, ukuze abe nokubambeka khona; kodwa angabambeki eludongeni lwayo indlu.
417Kwaya kuba banzi ukujikeleza, okukhona siya sinyuka isakhiwo ngokwamagumbi endawo yokwayama; ngokuba oko kwayijikeleza indlu le, kwaya kusanda okukhona inyukayo, kuyijikeleza indlu le ngeenxa zonke; ngenxa yoko indlu le yaya iba banzi okunyuka inyukayo; lwaba kwanjalo olungaphantsi udidi, ukunyuka ukuya kolungaphezulu ngokolo lungaphakathi.
418Ndabona kwasendlwini le indawo ephakamileyo, ejikelezileyo ngeenxa zonke; iziseko zamagumbi endawo yokwayama zaziyingcongolo epheleyo, ziikubhite ezintandathu, ukuya entlanganweni.
419Ububanzi bodonga, ebe inabo indawo yokwayama ngaphandle, bebuziikubhite ezintlanu; yaba kwanjalo indawo eshiyekileyo endlwini enamagumbi endawo yokwayama ekule ndlu.
4110Phakathi kwamagumbi ibe ibububanzi beekubhite ezimashumi mabini obujikelezileyo, bayijikeleza indlu ngeenxa zonke.
4111Iminyango yendawo yokwayama yayikhangele endaweni eshiyekileyo; omnye umnyango ukhangele ngentla, omnye umnyango ukhangele ngezantsi; ububanzi bendawo eshiyekileyo bebuziikubhite ezintlanu, bajikeleza ngeenxa zonke.
4112Isakhiwo esibe siphambi kwendawo eqhiwukileyo, sasiziikubhite ezimashumi asixhenxe ububanzi baso ngecala elisingise entshonalanga; udonga lwesakhiwo eso lwaluziikubhite ezintlanu ububanzi balo; lwajikeleza ngeenxa zonke, nobude baso baba ziikubhite ezimashumi asithoba.
4113Wayilinganisa ke indlu leyo, yaba ziikubhite ezilikhulu ubude; indawo eqhiwukileyo, nesakhiwo sayo, neendonga zaso, zaba ziikubhite ezilikhulu ubude.
4114Ububanzi bobuso bayo indlu, nobendawo eqhiwukileyo ekhangele empumalanga baba ziikubhite ezilikhulu.
4115Wabulinganisa ke ubude besakhiwo esibe siphambi kwendawo eqhiwukileyo, ebe singasemva kwayo, neegalari zaso ngapha nangapha, iikubhite zaba likhulu; nendawo engcwele yangaphakathi, neevaranda zentendelezo.
4116Imibundu leyo yeminyango, neefestile ezo zivaliweyo, neegalari ezo zijikelezileyo ezindidini zazo zontathu (malunga nemibundu yeminyango kukho amaceba emithi, ejikelezile ngeenxa zonke; nomhlaba ude wema ngeefestile, iifestile ke zigutyungelwe),
4117naphezu kweminyango, kwada kwasendlwini ngaphakathi nangaphandle, naseludongeni lonke, kwajikeleza ngeenxa zonke, ngaphakathi nangaphandle, kwaba yimilinganiso.
4118Kwaye kwenziwe iikerubhi namasundu; yalisundu phakathi kwekerubhi nekerubhi; ikerubhi yanobuso obubini;
4119yabubuso bomntu obubheke esundwini ngapha, yabubuso bengonyama obubheke esundwini ngapha. Kwaye kwenjiwe njalo endlwini yonke, kwajikeleza ngeenxa zonke.
4120Zenziwa zathabathela emhlabeni zesa phezu kweminyango, iikerubhi namasundu, eludongeni ke lwetempile.
4121Itempile, imigubasi yayo ibe imbombo-ne; nobuso bengcwele, imbonakalo yabo yabonakala ikwanjalo.
4122Isibingelelo sasingumthi, ukubhite-ntathu ukuphakama, buziikubhite-mbini ubude baso; besineembombo zaso nommiso waso, namacala aso engumthi. Wathi kum, Le yitafile ephambi koYehova.
4123Bezimbini iingcango zetempile nezengcwele.
4124Bezingambini iingcango kwiminyango leyo, ziziingcango ezijingayo zombini, zimbini komnye umnyango, zimbini iingcango nakomnye.
4125Kwaye kwenziwe kuzo, kwiingcango ezo zetempile, iikerubhi namasundu, kunjengoko bekwenziwe ngako ezindongeni. Kwaye kukho isinyuko somthi phambi kwevaranda ngaphandle.
4126Iifestile ezivaliweyo namasundu zazingapha nangapha, emacaleni evaranda, nasemagumbini endawo yokwayama kuyo indlu, nezinyuko.
421Waphuma nam, waya entendelezweni engaphandle ngendlela esinga ngentla, wandisa emagumbini amalunga nendawo le iqhiwukileyo, amalunga nesakhiwo eso, akhangele entla.
422Phambi kwecala elibude buziikubhite ezilikhulu, elimnyango ungasentla, ububanzi baba ziikubhite ezimashumi mahlanu.
423Malunga neekubhite ezimashumi mabini zentendelezo engaphakathi, malunga nombekelelo wamatye osentendelezweni engaphandle, yaba yigalari isinge egalarini eludidini lwesithathu.
424Phambi kwamagumbi kwakukho indawo yokuhamba, ububanzi bayo buziikubhite ezilishumi; kukho indlela eziikubhite zilikhulu, ebheka phakathi; iminyango yazo ke ibheka ngentla.
425Ke amagumbi aphezulu ebemafuphi kunawaphantsi, kunaphakathi esakhiweni; ngokuba iigalari zawadlela.
426Ngokuba ebendidi ntathu wona, engenazintsika, njengokuba iintendelezo zineentsika: ngenxa yoko kwarhoxiswa kwala angaphantsi kwanala aphakathi esikhundleni sawo.
427Ke udonga olwalungaphandle, lulungelelene namagumbi, lwasinga entendelezweni engaphandle phambi kwamagumbi la; ubude balo babuziikubhite ezimashumi mahlanu.
428Ngokuba ubude bamagumbi entendelezo engaphandle baba ziikubhite ezimashumi mahlanu; kodwa ke phambi kwetempile baba ziikubhite ezilikhulu.
429Ngaphantsi kwala magumbi, ukungena bekuvelwa ngasempumalanga ekuyiweni kuwo, kuvelwa entendelezweni engaphandle.
4210Ebubanzini bodonga lwentendelezo, kusingise empumalanga, phambi kwendawo eqhiwukileyo naphambi kwesakhiwo, bekukho amagumbi.
4211Ayenendlela phambi kwawo, ebonakala enjengamagumbi asingise entla; ngobude bawo, aba njalo nangobubanzi bawo, aba njalo nangokuphuma kwawo konke, aba njalo nangamasiko awo.
4212Njengoko injalo iminyango yawo lawo, injalo neminyango yamagumbi abe ekhangele ngezantsi; kwakukho umnyango emantloko endlela, endlela emalunga nodonga olulungelelene namagumbi la, endlela evela ngasempumalanga ekuyiweni kuwo.
4213Wathi kum, Amagumbi angasentla namagumbi angasezantsi, aphambi kwendawo eqhiwukileyo, wona ngamagumbi angcwele, apho ababingeleli abasondelayo kuYehova baya kudlela khona ezona nto zingcwele; apho baya kuzibeka khona ezona nto zingcwele, umnikelo wokudla, nedini lesono, neletyala; ngokuba le ndawo ingcwele.
4214Bakungena ababingeleli, mabangaphumi engcweleni, baye entendelezweni engaphandle; bozibeka apho iingubo zabo, abalungiselela benazo, ngokuba zingcwele; mabambathe ngubo zimbi, basondele ke kokwabantu.
4215Wathi ke akugqiba ukuyilinganisa indlu ephakathi, waphuma nam, wasingisa ngendlela yesango elibheke empumalanga, walinganisa khona, wajikeleza ngeenxa zonke.
4216Walinganisa icala lasempumalanga ngengcongolo yokulinganisa; yaziingcongolo ezimakhulu mahlanu ngengcongolo yokulinganisa, ngeenxa zonke.
4217Walinganisa icala langasentla; yaziingcongolo ezimakhulu mahlanu ngengcongolo yokulinganisa, ngeenxa zonke.
4218Kwicala langasezantsi walinganisa amakhulu amahlanu eengcongolo, ngengcongolo yokulinganisa.
4219Wajikela ecaleni langasentshonalanga, walinganisa amakhulu amahlanu eengcongolo, ngengcongolo yokulinganisa.
4220Ngamacala omane wayilinganisa. Inodonga olujikelezileyo ngeenxa zonke; ubude bangamakhulu amahlanu, nobubanzi bangamakhulu amahlanu, ukuze kwahlulwe phakathi kokungcwele nokuhlambeleyo.
431Wandisa esangweni, esangweni elibheke endleleni yangasempumalanga.
432Nabo ke ubuqaqawuli boThixo kaSirayeli, buvela ngendlela yangasempumalanga, isandi sabo sinjengesandi samanzi amaninzi; ihlabathi lakhanya bubuqaqawuli bakhe.
433Imbonakalo ke endayibonayo, ukubonakala kwayo, yayinjengembonakalo leya, ndayibonayo ukuya kuwonakalisa kwam umzi; kwakukho neembonakalo ezinjengeembonakalo endazibonayo emlanjeni oyiKebhare; ndawa ke ngobuso.
434Ubuqaqawuli bukaYehova beza endlwini ngendlela yesango elibheke empumalanga.
435UMoya wandifukula, wandisa entendelezweni ephakathi; nabo ke ubuqaqawuli bukaYehova, buyizalisile indlu le.
436Ndeva othetha kum esendlwini le; kwabakho ke umntu omi ecaleni kwam.
437Wathi kum, Nyana womntu, khangela indawo yetrone yam, indawo yomphantsi weenyawo zam, apho ndiya kuhlala khona phakathi koonyana bakaSirayeli ngonaphakade; ingabi salenza inqambi igama lam elingcwele indlu kaSirayeli, bona nookumkani babo, ngobuhenyu babo, nangezidumbu zookumkani babo ezigangeni zabo;
438ekumiseni kwabo umbundu womnyango wabo ngasembundwini womnyango wam, nemigubasi yabo ecaleni lemigubasi yam, iludonga lodwa phakathi kwam nabo; belenze inqambi ke igama lam elingcwele, ngamasikizi abo abawenzayo. Ndabagqibela ke ngomsindo wam.
439Ngoku ke mabakhwelelise kum ubuhenyu babo, nezidumbu zookumkani babo, ndihlale phakathi kwabo ngonaphakade.
4310Wena ke, nyana womntu, indlu kaSirayeli yixelele le ndlu, beve ihlazo ngenxa yobugwenxa babo, basilinganise isakhiwo esilinganiselweyo ngokuhle.
4311Ukuba bathe baliva ihlazo ngenxa yezinto zonke abazenzileyo, bazise ukumeka kwendlu le nokuqulunqwa kwayo, iziphumo zayo nezingeno zayo, iimeko zayo zonke nemimiselo yayo yonke, iimeko zayo zonke nemiyalelo yayo yonke, uyibhale emehlweni abo; bakugcine konke ukuma kwayo, nemimiselo yayo yonke, bayenze.
4312Nguwo lo umyalelo wayo indlu: encotsheni yentaba, wonke umda wayo, ojikelezileyo ngeenxa zonke, uyingcwele kangcwele. Yabona, nguwo lo umyalelo wayo indlu.
4313Yiyo le imilinganiso yesibingelelo ngokweekubhite (ikubhite yikubhite nobubanzi besandla): umzantsi waso woba yikubhite, ube yikubhite ububanzi; ulungqu lwawo eludinini lwawo ngeenxa zonke lwalungangomoluko omnye weminwe. Lulo olo ufundo lwesibingelelo esi.
4314Kuthabathela emzantsini osemhlabeni, kude kuse emacaleni aphantsi, koba ziikubhite ezimbini ukuphakama, nobubanzi bube yikubhite enye; kuthabathela emacaleni lawo amafutshane, kude kuse emacaleni amade, koba ziikubhite ezine ukuphakama, nobubanzi bube yikubhite enye.
4315Intaba kaThixo yoba ziikubhite ezine; zothabathela ezikweni likaThixo, zinyuse iimpondo ezine.
4316Iziko likaThixo loba ziikubhite ezilishumi elinambini ubude balo, ishumi elinambini ububanzi balo; loba mbombo ne ngokwamacala alo omane.
4317Amacala oba ziikubhite ezilishumi elinane ubude bawo, neshumi elinane ububanzi, ngokwamacala awo omane; nolungqu ngeenxa zonke kuwo lube sisiqingatha sekubhite; umzantsi wawo ube yikubhite enye ngeenxa zonke; nezinyuko zawo mazikhangele empumalanga.
4318Wathi kum, Nyana womntu, itsho iNkosi uYehova, ukuthi, Yiyo le imimiselo yesibingelelo ngemini yokwenziwa kwaso, ukuba kunyuswe phezu kwaso amadini anyukayo, kutshizwe ngegazi kuso.
4319Uya kubanika ababingeleli, abaLevi abangabembewu kaTsadoki, abasondelayo kum, itsho iNkosi uYehova, ukuba balungiselele kum inkunzi entsha, ithole lenkomo, libe lidini lesono.
4320Wothabatha egazini layo, uliqabe ezimpondweni zaso zone, nasezimbombeni zone zamacala, naseludinini ngeenxa zonke; usenze nyulu, usicamagushele;
4321uyithabathe inkunzi entsha yedini lesono, bayitshise endaweni emisiweyo yayo indlu, ngaphandle kwengcwele.
4322Ngomhla wesibini wosondeza inkunzi yebhokhwe exhonti egqibeleleyo, ibe lidini lesono; basenze nyulu isibingelelo, njengoko senziwa nyulu ngenkunzi entsha.
4323Ekugqibeni kwakho ukusenza nyulu, wosondeza inkunzi entsha, ithole lenkomo eligqibeleleyo, nenkunzi egqibeleleyo yasempahleni emfutshane.
4324Wozisondeza phambi koYehova, ababingeleli bagalele ityuwa phezu kwazo, bazinyuse zibe lidini elinyukayo kuYehova.
4325Iintsuku ezisixhenxe uya kunikela inkunzi yebhokhwe exhonti eyedini lesono ngemini; balungiselele nenkunzi entsha elithole lenkomo, nenkunzi yasempahleni emfutshane egqibeleleyo.
4326Iintsuku ezisixhenxe bosicamagushela isibingelelo, basihlambulule; basimisele.
4327Baya kuzigqiba ezo ntsuku, kuthi ngomhla wesibhozo, nanini, ababingeleli benze amadini enu anyukayo nemibingelelo yenu yoxolo esibingelelweni, ndize ndinamkele; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
441Wandibuyisa ngendlela yesango lengcwele elingaphandle, elibheke empumalanga; laye livaliwe.
442UYehova wathi kum, Eli sango liya kuhlala livaliwe; aliyi kuvulwa, akuyi kungena mntu ngalo; ngokuba uYehova uThixo kaSirayeli ungene ngalo; liya kuhlala livaliwe ke.
443Isikhulu, sisikhulu nje, siya kuhlala kulo, ukuba sidle ukudla phambi koYehova. Songena ngendlela yasevarandeni yesango, siphume kwangendlela yayo.
444Wandisa ngendlela yesango langasentla, ebeyiphambi kwayo indlu; ndakhangela, nabo ubuqaqawuli bukaYehova buyizalisile indlu kaYehova; ndawa ngobuso.
445Wathi kum uYehova, Nyana womntu, gqala ngentliziyo yakho, ubone ngamehlo akho, uve ngeendlebe zakho, konke endisukuba ndikuthetha kuwe, ngokusingisele kwimimiselo yonke yendlu kaYehova, nangokusingisele kwimiyalelo yayo yonke; ukugqale ngentliziyo yakho ukungena endlwini le, ezindaweni zonke zengcwele ekuphunywa ngazo.
446Uze uthi kwabaneenkani, kwabendlu kaSirayeli, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yanelani, ndlu kaSirayeli, ngamasikizi enu onke,
447okubangenisa kwenu oonyana bolunye uhlanga, abangalukileyo ngentliziyo, abangalukileyo ngenyama, ukuba babe sengcweleni yam, ukuba bayihlambele indlu yam le, nakusondeza ukudla kwam, amanqatha negazi. Umnqophiso wam nawaphula ke phezu kwamasikizi enu onke;
448anasigcina isigxina sengcwele yam; nabamisa abaya ukuba banigcinele isigxina sam engcweleni yam.
449Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Bonke oonyana bolunye uhlanga, abangalukileyo ngentliziyo, abangalukileyo ngenyama, abayi kungena engcweleni yam, bakubo bonke oonyana bolunye uhlanga, abaphakathi koonyana bakaSirayeli.
4410Ke kwanabaLevi, abakhwelelayo kude kum, ekundwendweni kwamaSirayeli awandwendwayo kum, alandela izigodo zawo, aya kubuthwala ubugwenxa bawo.
4411Baya kwanela ukuba ngabalungiseleli engcweleni yam, bengabaveleli bamasango endlu le, belungiselela endlwini le. Abo baya kuxhelela abantu idini elinyukayo nombingelelo, bona beme phambi kwabo, ukuba babalungiselele.
4412Ngenxa enokuba babalungiselelayo phambi kwezigodo zabo, baba sisikhubekiso sobugwenxa kwindlu kaSirayeli, ngenxa yoko ndibaphakamisele isandla sam, itsho iNkosi uYehova, ukuba babuthwale ubugwenxa babo.
4413Abayi kufika kum, ukuba benzelelele kum, bangafiki kwiingcwele zam zonke, kwingcwele kangcwele yam; baya kuthwala ke ihlazo labo namasikizi abo abawenzileyo.
4414Ndobenza babe ngabagcini besigxina sendlu le ngokwenkonzo yayo yonke, nangokwezinto zonke ezenzelwa kuyo.
4415Ke bona ababingeleli abaLevi, oonyana bakaTsadoki, abasigcinayo isigxina sengcwele yam, ekundwendweni koonyana bakaSirayeli kum, bosondela bona kum, ukuba bandilungiselele, beme phambi kwam, ukuba basondeze kum inqatha negazi; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
4416Bongena bona engcweleni yam, basondele bona esithebeni sam, ukuba bandilungiselele, bagcine isigxina sam.
4417Kothi, ekungeneni kwabo ngamasango entendelezo ephakathi, bambathe iingubo zelinen; kungabikho nto yoboya kubo ekulungiseleleni kwabo emasangweni entendelezo ephakathi, naxa bakuyo indlu.
4418Zoba ziinkontsho zelinen ezintlokweni zabo, ibe ziibhulukhwe zelinen ezinqeni zabo; abayi kubhinqa, bazibilise.
4419Bothi, ekuphumeni kwabo, besinga entendelezweni engaphandle, entendelezweni engaphandle besiya ebantwini, bazihlube iingubo zabo ababelungiselela benazo, bezibeke emagumbini angcwele, bambathe ngubo zimbi, bangabangcwalisi abantu ngeengubo zabo.
4420Mabangazichebi iintloko, bangaziyeki iinwele zabo zibe ngamayakayaka; bozinquthula iintloko.
4421Mabangaseli wayini bonke ababingeleli ekungeneni kwabo entendelezweni ephakathi.
4422Umhlolokazi nomfazi owaliweyo mabangabazeki babe ngabafazi babo; bozeka iintombi eziziintombi kwimbewu yendlu kaSirayeli, kwanomhlolokazi othe waba ngumhlolokazi wombingeleli.
4423Bobayala abantu bam, ukuba bahlule okungcwele kokuhlambeleyo, babazise okuyinqambi nokuhlambulukileyo.
4424Ekubambaneni kwabantu mabeme bona, bagwebe ngokwamasiko am, bagcine imiyalelo yam nemimiselo yam ngamaxesha am onke amisiweyo, bazingcwalise iisabatha zam.
4425Mabangayi emntwini ofileyo, bazenze iinqambi; kungaba kungoyise, nonina, nonyana, nentombi yabo, nomzalwana, nodade wabo ongabanga nandoda, abangazenza iinqambi ngabo, bona bodwa.
4426Bombalela imihla esixhenxe emva kokuhlanjululwa kwakhe.
4427Ngomhla ke wokungena kwakhe engcweleni, entendelezweni ephakathi, ukuze alungiselele engcweleni, wosondeza idini lakhe lesono; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
4428Oko koba lilifa labo, ibe ndim ilifa labo; ningabaniki nzuzo kwaSirayeli; ndim inzuzo yabo.
4429Umnikelo wokudla, nedini lesono, nedina letyala, bodla ezo zinto bona; zonke izinto ezisingelwe phantsi kwaSirayeli ziya kuba zezabo.
4430Iingqalo zeentlahlela zonke ezintweni zonke, nemirhumo yonke yeento zonke, kwimirhumo yenu yonke, yoba yeyababingeleli; nengqalo yomgrayo wenu noyinika umbingeleli, ukuze ahlise intsikelelo phezu kwendlu yakho.
4431Ababingeleli abayi kudla nto izifeleyo neqwengiweyo, nokuba kusezintakeni, nokuba kusezinkomeni.
451Ekulabeni kwenu ilizwe ngamaqashiso, ukuba libe lilifa, nomrhumela uYehova umrhumo oyinto engcwele kulo ilizwe elo: ubude bube ngamashumi omabini anamahlanu amawaka eengcongolo, ububanzi bube lishumi lamawaka. Woba ngcwele emdeni wawo wonke ngeenxa zonke.
452Kuwo apha oba ngawasengcweleni amakhulu amahlanu ubude, ngamakhulu amahlanu obubanzi, ube mbombo-ne ngeenxa zonke, ube ziikubhite ezimashumi mahlanu zephandle elingeenxa zonke kuwo.
453Kuyo loo ndawo ilinganisiweyo, wolinganisa ubude obungamashumi omabini anamahlanu amawaka, nobubanzi obulishumi lamawaka; ibe khona ingcwele le, ingcwele kangcwele.
454Yona yoba yinto engcwele kulo ilizwe elo; ilunge nababingeleli, abalungiseleli bengcwele, abasondela ukuba balungiselele kuYehova; ibe yindawo yezindlu zabo, indawo engcwele ilunge nengcwele.
455Amashumi amabini anamahlanu amawaka obude, neli shumi lamawaka obubanzi, alunge nabaLevi, abalungiseleli bendlu; oba yinzuzo yabo eyimizi yokuba bahlale.
456Okomzi koba ngamawaka amahlanu obubanzi, anamashumi amabini anamahlanu amawaka obude, elungelelene nomrhumo ongcwele; ibe ngawendlu yonke kaSirayeli.
457Isikhulu nosinika ngapha nangapha komrhumo ongcwele, nakokomzi phambi komrhumo ongcwele, naphambi kokomzi ngecala lasentshonalanga, nise entshonalanga, nangecala lasempumalanga, nise empumalanga; ubude bulungelelane nesinye isahlulo sezizwe, buthabathele emdeni wasentshonalanga, buse emdeni wasempumalanga.
458Loba lilizwe laso, libe yinzuzo kuso kwaSirayeli; izikhulu zam zingabuyi zibe sabaxinzelela phantsi abantu bam; ke ilizwe zilinike indlu kaSirayeli ngokwezizwe zayo.
459Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yanelani, nina zikhulu zakwaSirayeli; yekani ukugonyamela nokubhuqa, nenze okusesikweni nobulungisa; yekani ukubagxotha abantu bam emafeni abo; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
4510Yibani nesikali sobulungisa, ne-efa yobulungisa, nebhate yobulungisa.
4511Iefa nebhate yoba mlinganiso mnye, ibhate ikhongozele isahlulo seshumi sehomere, ne-efa isahlulo seshumi sehomere, sibe ngokwehomere isilinganiselo sayo.
4512Ishekele yoba ngamashumi amabini eegera; amashumi amabini eeshekele, amashumi amabini anesihlanu eeshekele, ishumi elinesihlanu leeshekele, ibe yimina kum.
4513Nguwo lo umrhumo eniya kurhuma ngawo; isahlulo sesithandathu se-efa ehomereni yengqolowa, nirhume isahlulo sesithandathu se-efa ehomereni yerhasi;
4514nomlinganiso omisiweyo weoli, webhate yeoli, nirhume isahlulo seshumi sebhate ekoreni, ezibhateni ezilishumi ehomereni ke; kuba iibhate ezilishumi ziyihomere.
4515Norhuma ixhwane libe linye empahleni emfutshane engamakhulu amabini, yasemakriweni anamanzi akwaSirayeli, ibe yeyomnikelo wokudla, neyedini elinyukayo, neyemibingelelo yoxolo, ukuba bacanyagushelwe; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
4516Bonke abantu belizwe eli bosirhumela lo mrhumo isikhulu sakwaSirayeli.
4517Orholwa sisikhulu amadini anyukayo, nomnikelo wokudla, nothululwayo, emithendelekweni nasekuthwaseni kwenyanga, nasezisabatheni, nasemaxesheni amisiweyo endlu kaSirayeli. Lolungiselelwa siso idini lesono, nomnikelo wokudla, nedini elinyukayo, nemibingelelo yoxolo, ukuze icanyagushelwe indlu kaSirayeli.
4518Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Ngenyanga yokuqala, ngolokuqala enyangeni leyo, wothabatha inkunzi entsha, ithole lenkomo eligqibeleleyo, uyihlambulule ingcwele ngedini lesono.
4519Umbingeleli wothabatha egazini ledini lesono elo, aliqabe emigubasini yendlu le, nasezimbombeni zone zamacala esibingelelo, nasemigubasini yesango lentendelezo ephakathi.
4520Uya kwenjenjalo nangolwesixhenxe enyangeni leyo, ngenxa yomntu olahlekayo, nangenxa yosisiyatha, niyicamagushele indlu le.
4521Ngeyokuqala inyanga, ngosuku lweshumi elinesine enyangeni leyo, noba nepasika, umthendeleko weentsuku ezisixhenxe; kodliwa izonka ezingenagwele.
4522Ngaloo mini isikhulu, ngenxa yaso nangenxa yabantu bonke belizwe eli, solungiselela inkunzi entsha yenkomo, ibe lidini lesono.
4523Iintsuku ezisixhenxe zomthendeleko somenzela uYehova idini elinyukayo; iinkunzi ezintsha zeenkomo zibe zisixhenxe, neenkunzi zeegusha ezigqibeleleyo zibe zisixhenxe ngemini, ngeentsuku zosixhenxe; nenkunzi yebhokhwe exhonti ibe lidini lesono ngemini.
4524Solungiselela umnikelo wokudla, iefa enkunzini entsha, iefa enkunzini yegusha, ihin yeoli kuyo iefa.
4525Ngenyanga yesixhenxe, ngosuku lweshumi elinesihlanu enyangeni leyo, emthendelekweni, siya kwenjenjalo ngeentsuku ezisixhenxe ngokusingisele kwidini lesono, nakwidini elinyukayo, nakumnikelo wokudla, nakwioli.
461Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Isango lentendelezo ephakathi, elikhangele empumalanga, lohlala livaliwe ngeentsuku ezintandathu zokusebenza; ngomhla wesabatha livulwe, ngomhla wokuthwasa kwenyanga livulwe.
462Songena isikhulu ngendlela yasevarandeni yesango, sivela ngaphandle, sime emigubasini yesango, ababingeleli balungiselele idini laso elinyukayo, nemibingelelo yaso yoxolo, siqubude embundwini wesango; siphume ke; lingavalwa isango elo kude kuhlwe.
463Abantu belizwe eli boqubuda ekungeneni kwesango ngesabatha nasekuthwaseni kwenyanga, phambi koYehova.
464Idini elinyukayo, esosondeza lona isikhulu kuYehova ngomhla wesabatha, loba ziimvana ezintandathu ezigqibeleleyo, nenkunzi yegusha egqibeleleyo.
465Nomnikelo wokudla woba yiefa enkunzini leyo yegusha; ezimvaneni ezo umnikelo wokudla ube ngumnikelo wesandla saso, ihin yeoli kuyo iefa.
466Ngosuku lokuthwasa kwenyanga, liya kuba yinkunzi entsha egqibeleleyo, ithole lenkomo, neemvana ezintandathu, nenkunzi yegusha, zigqibelele zonke.
467Solungiselela umnikelo wokudla, iefa kuyo inkunzi entsha yenkomo, ne-efa kuyo inkunzi yegusha, kuzo iimvana ibe yinto esinokufikelela kuyo isandla saso, ibe yihin yeoli kuyo iefa.
468Ekuzeni kwesikhulu, songena ngendlela yasevarandeni yesango, siphume kwangendlela yayo.
469Ekuzeni ke kwabantu belizwe eli phambi koYehova ngamaxesha amisiweyo, ongene ngendlela yesango langasentla, esiza kunqula, wophuma ngendlela yesango langasezantsi; ongene ngendlela yesango langasezantsi, wophuma ngendlela yesango langasentla; akayi kubuya ngendlela yesango angene ngalo; bothi gca ukuphuma.
4610Isikhulu songena siphakathi kwabo ekungeneni kwabo; bathi ekuphumeni kwabo, siphume kunye nabo.
4611Umnikelo wokudla ngemithendeleko nangamaxesha amisiweyo woba yiefa kuyo inkunzi entsha yenkomo, ne-efa kuyo inkunzi yegusha, uthi ezimvaneni uligane nesandla saso, ibe yihin yeoli kuyo iefa.
4612Xa sithe isikhulu samenzela uYehova idini elinyukayo ngokuqhutywa yintliziyo, nokuba yimibingelelo yoxolo ngokuqhutywa yintliziyo, malivulwe isango elibheke empumalanga, silungiselele idini laso elinyukayo, nemibingelelo yaso yoxolo, njengoko silungiselelayo ngomhla wesabatha; siphume ke; balivale isango emva kokuphuma kwaso.
4613Boyilungiselela imvana emnyaka mnye, egqibeleleyo, ibe lidini elinyukayo ngemini kuYehova, balilungiselele imiso ngemiso yonke.
4614Bolungiselela umnikelo wokudla kunye nalo imiso ngemiso yonke, ube sisahlulo sesithandathu se-efa, neoli ibe sisahlulo sesithathu sehin yokunyakamisa umgubo ocoliweyo; ube ngumnikelo wokudla kuYehova; leyo yoba yimimiselo engunaphakade emiyo.
4615Bolungiselela imvana, nomnikelo wokudla, neoli, imiso ngemiso yonke, ibe lidini elinyukayo elimiyo.
4616Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Xa sithe isikhulu sampha omnye koonyana baso isipho, soba lilifa lakhe, sibe sesoonyana bakhe; yinzuzo yabo ngokwelifa.
4617Xa sithe sampha omnye kubakhonzi baso isipho elifeni laso, soba sesalowo, kude kuse kumnyaka wenkululeko, sibuyele kwisikhulu; ilifa laso loba leloonyana baso bodwa.
4618Isikhulu eso asiyi kuthabatha elifeni labantu, ukuze sibaxinzelele phantsi, bahlukane nenzuzo yabo. Sobadlisa oonyana baso ilifa kweyeyaso inzuzo; ukuze bangabi lusali abantu bam, elowo ahlukane nenzuzo yakhe.
4619Ekungeneni ngasecaleni lesango, wandisa emagumbini angcwele ababingeleli, akhangele ngentla; nanko, kukho indawo khona esiphelweni, ngasentshonalanga.
4620Wathi kum, Le yindawo apho ababingeleli bophekela khona idini letyala, nedini lesono. Bosela khona umnikelo wokudla, ukuze bangaphumi nawo, baye entendelezweni engaphandle, ukuba bangcwalise abantu.
4621Waphuma waya nam entendelezweni engaphandle, wandidlulisa emagumbini omane entendelezo; nanko, kukho intendelezo emagumbini onke entendelezo, iyintendelezo egumbini lentendelezo.
4622Emagumbini omane ayo intendelezo ibe izintendelezo ezivaliweyo: ubude buziikubhite ezimashumi mane, ububanzi buziikubhite ezimashumi mathathu, umlinganiso umnye kuloo magumbi omane.
4623Bekukho ucamba lwezakhiwo olujikelezileyo kuzo, lujikelezile kuzo zone; kukho amaziko okupheka, enziwe ngaphantsi kweengcamba ngeenxa zonke.
4624Wathi kum, Ezi zizindlu zokupheka, apho abalungiseleli bayo indlu baphekela khona umbingelelo wabantu.
471Wandibuyisela emnyango wayo indlu; nanko, kuphuma amanzi ngaphantsi kombundu womnyango wendlu leyo, esinga ngasempumalanga; ngokuba ubuso bayo indlu bebungasempumalanga. Amana esihla amanzi, evela ngaphantsi, ecaleni lokunene kwindlu leyo, ngasezantsi kwesibingelelo.
472Waphuma nam ngendlela yesango langasentla, wandijikelezisa ngendlela engaphandle, wandisa esangweni elingaphandle, ngendlela yelibheke empumalanga; nango, amanzi equkuqela, evela ecaleni lokunene lesango.
473Ekuphumeni komntu obephethe ulutya lokulinganisa ngesandla, esiya ngasempumalanga, walinganisa iwaka leekubhite; wandiweza emanzini, amanzi abetha emaqatheni.
474Walinganisa iwaka, wandiweza emanzini, amanzi abetha emadolweni. Walinganisa iwaka, wandiweza emanzini, amanzi abetha esinqeni.
475Walinganisa iwaka, aba ngumlambo endingenakuwuwela; ngokuba amanzi ahamba phezulu, amanzi aba ngawokudadwa, umlambo ongenakuwelwa.
476Wathi kum, Ubonile na, nyana womntu? Wandihambisa, wandibuyisa phezu kodini lomlambo lowo.
477Ekubuyeni kwam, nanko kukho eludinini lomlambo imithi emininzi kunene, ngapha nangapha.
478Wathi kum, La manzi aphuma aye kummandla wasempumalanga, ehle aye eArabha, aye elwandle, athi ele elwandle, aphiliswe amanzi alo.
479Kuye kuthi ke, yonke imiphefumlo ephilileyo, enyakazelayo ezindaweni zonke othe wafika kuzo umlambokazi lowo, iphile; zibe zininzi kunene iintlanzi; ngokuba efikile khona la manzi, ophiliswa lawa; iphile yonke into ofike kuyo umlambo lowo.
4710Kothi ke kume ababambisi beentlanzi phezu kwawo, bathabathele e-En-gedi, bade baye e-En-heglayim, indawo yokwaneka iminatha; ziya kuba ngokohlobo lwazo iintlanzi zabo, njengeentlanzi zolwandle olukhulu, ukuba zininzi kunene.
4711Ke imigxobhozo yalo, namadike alo, akayi kuphila; aya kunikelwa ekubeni mtyuba.
4712Kophuma phezu komlambo, phezu kodini lwawo, ngapha nangapha, imithi yonke edliwayo. Amagqabi ayo akayi kubuna, zingapheli iziqhamo zayo; iya kuvuthwa iziqhamo ezitsha ngeenyanga zonke; ngokuba amanzi awo wona aphuma engcweleni. Iziqhamo zayo ziya kuba zezokudliwa, namagqabi ayo abe ngawokuphilisa.
4713Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Nguwo lo umda, eniya kuzabela ngawo ilizwe, ngokwezizwe ezilishumi elinazibini zikaSirayeli; uYosefu woba namacandelo amabini.
4714Ilizwe niya kulidla ilifa, elowo alidle njengowabo; ngokuba ndaphakamisa isandla sam sokuba ndilinike oyihlo; lowela kuni eli lizwe ngokwelifa.
4715Nguwo lo umda welizwe elo: ngecala langasentla wothabathela kulwandle olukhulu ngendlela yaseHetelon, ukuba uye eTsedada;
4716eHamati, naseBherota, naseSibrayim, ephakathi komda waseDamasko nomda waseHamati, naseHatsere ephakathi, esemdeni waseHawuran.
4717Umda uthabathela elwandle, ume ngeHatsare-enon, umda waseDamasko; owasentla ngasentla umda waseHamati. Licala lasentla ke elo.
4718Icala langasempumalanga, phakathi kweHawuran neDamasko neGiliyadi nelizwe lakwaSirayeli, yiYordan; nothabathela emdeni lowa, nise phezu kolwandle lwangasempumalanga ukulinganisa. Licala lasempumalanga ke elo.
4719Icala lasezantsi ngasezantsi lothabathela kwaTamare, lise emanzini embambano aseKadeshe, lihambe ngomlambo, lise kulo ulwandle olukhulu. Licala lasezantsi ngasezantsi ke elo.
4720Icala lasentshonalanga lulwandle olukhulu, luthabathela emdeni lowo, lude lulunge nokuya eHamati. Licala lasentshonalanga ke elo.
4721Nozabela ke eli lizwe ngokwezizwe zakwaSirayeli.
4722Kothi ke nilabe ngamaqashiso, libe lilifa kuni, nakubasemzini, abaphambukela kuni, abazele oonyana phakathi kwenu. Kuni boba njengabazalelwe kuloo ndawo abaphakathi koonyana bakaSirayeli; bolamkela ngamaqashiso ilifa phakathi kwezizwe zakwaSirayeli kunye nani.
4723Kuya kuthi, esizweni aphambukele kuso owasemzini, nimnike ilifa lakhe apho; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
481Ngawo la amagama ezizwe ezo, ethabathela ekupheleni ngentla, ehamba ecaleni kwendlela yaseHetelon, ukuya eHamati, naseHatsare-enon, umda waseDamasko, ngasentla ecaleni laseHamati, libe lelakhe icala lasempumalanga nelasentshonalanga: uDan woba necandelo elinye.
482Ngasemdeni ke kaDan, kuthabathela ecaleni lasempumalanga, kuse ecaleni lasentshonalanga: uAshere, libe linye.
483Ngasemdeni ke ka-Ashere, kuthabathela ecaleni lasempumalanga, kuse ecaleni lasentshonalanga: uNafetali, libe linye.
484Ngasemdeni kaNafetali, kuthabathela ecaleni lasempumalanga, kuse ecaleni lasentshonalanga: uManase, libe linye.
485Ngasemdeni kaManase, kuthabathela ecaleni lasempumalanga, kuse ecaleni lasentshonalanga: uEfrayim, libe linye.
486Ngasemdeni kaEfrayim, kuthabathele ecaleni lasempumalanga, kuse ecaleni lasentshonalanga: uRubhen, libe linye.
487Ngasemdeni kaRubhen, kuthabathela ecaleni lasempumalanga, kuse ecaleni lasentshonalanga: uYuda, libe linye.
488Ngasemdeni kaYuda, kuthabathela ecaleni lasempumalanga, kuse ecaleni lasentshonalanga, yoba ngumrhumo eniya kuwurhuma; ube ngamawaka angamashumi amabini anamahlanu eengcongolo ububanzi, ubude ke bube njengobesinye isahlulo, kuthabathela ecaleni lasempumalanga, kude kuye ecaleni lasentshonalanga; ingcwele isesazulwini sawo.
489Umrhumo eniya kuwurhumela uYehova woba ngamashumi amabini anamahlanu amawaka ubude, ube ngamawaka alishumi ububanzi.
4810Woba ngowaba umrhumo ongcwele: ngowababingeleli; ngasentla ube ngamashumi amabini anamahlanu amawaka ubude, ngasentshonalanga ube lishumi lamawaka ububanzi, ngasempumalanga ube lishumi lamawaka ububanzi, ngasezantsi ube ngamashumi amabini anamahlanu amawaka ubude; ingcwele kaYehova yoba sesazulwini sawo.
4811Ababingeleli abangcwalisiweyo koonyana bakaTsadoki, abasigcinayo isigxina sam, abangandwendwanga ekundwendweni koonyana bakaSirayeli, njengoko bandwendwayo abaLevi,
4812woba ngowabo umrhumo emrhumeni welizwe; uyingcwele kangcwele ngasemdeni wabakaLevi.
4813Ke abaLevi bozuza isahlulo esinxulumene nomda wababingeleli, sibe ngamashumi amabini anamahlanu amawaka ubude, sibe lishumi lamawaka ububanzi; bonke ubude bube ngamashumi amabini anamahlanu amawaka, nobubanzi bube lishumi lamawaka.
4814Ke abayi kuthengisa ngento yaso, bangananisi ugayo, bangayidluliseli kwabanye intlahlela yelo zwe; ngokuba ingcwele kuYehova.
4815Ke amawaka amahlanu aseleyo ebubanzini, kumawaka angamashumi amabini anamahlanu, akangcwele; ngawomzi, ngawendawo yokuma neyephandle. Umzi woba sesazulwini sawo.
4816Yiyo le imilinganiso: icala langasentla loba ngamawaka amane anamakhulu amahlanu, icala langasezantsi libe ngamawaka amane anamakhulu amahlanu, icala lasempumalanga libe ngamawaka amane anamakhulu amahlanu, icala lasentshonalanga libe ngamawaka amane anamakhulu amahlanu.
4817Iphandle lomzi ngasentla loba ngamakhulu amabini anamashumi amahlanu, ngasezantsi libe ngamakhulu amabini anamashumi amahlanu, ngasempumalanga libe ngamakhulu amabini anamashumi amahlanu, ngasentshonalanga libe ngamakhulu amabini anamashumi amahlanu.
4818Okuseleyo ebudeni obunxulumene nomrhumo ongcwele, koba ngamawaka alishumi ngasempumalanga, kube ngamawaka alishumi ngasentshonalanga; onxulumana nomrhumo ongcwele; ungeniselo lwawo lube kukudla kwabasebenzi bawo umzi.
4819Abasebenzi abo ke bomzi bowalima, bengabasezizweni zonke zakwaSirayeli.
4820Umrhumo wonke woba ngamashumi amabini anamahlanu amawaka ubude, ube ngamashumi amabini anamahlanu amawaka ububanzi; isahlulo sesine somrhumo ongcwele nosirhumela ukuba sibe sesomzi lowo.
4821Indawo eseleyo yoba yeyesikhulu, ngapha nangapha komrhumo ongcwele, nakwinzuzo yomzi; ngaphambi kwamawaka angamashumi amabini anamahlanu omrhumo, ide iye emdeni wasempumalanga, nangasentshonalanga phambi kwamawaka angamashumi amabini anamahlanu, ngasemdeni wentshonalanga, inxulumene nezinye izahlulo, yoba yeyesikhulu; umrhumo ongcwele nengcwele yayo indlu yoba sesazulwini sayo.
4822Kuthabathela ke enzuzweni yabaLevi, kuthabathela enzuzweni yomzi, esazulwini senzuzo yesikhulu, phakathi komda kaYuda nomda kaBhenjamin, koba kokwesikhulu.
4823Eziseleyo ke izizwe: kuthabathela ecaleni lasempumalanga, kuse ecaleni lasentshonalanga: uBhenjamin woba necandelo elinye.
4824Ngasemdeni ke kaBhenjamin, kuthabathela ecaleni lasempumalanga, kuse ecaleni lasentshonalanga: uSimon, libe linye.
4825Ngasemdeni ke kaSimon, kuthabathela ecaleni lasempumalanga, kuse ecaleni lasentshonalanga: uIsakare, libe linye.
4826Ngasemdeni ke kaIsakare, kuthabathela ecaleni lasempumalanga, kuse ecaleni lasentshonalanga: uZebhulon, libe linye.
4827Ngasemdeni ke kaZebhulon, kuthabathela ecaleni lasempumalanga, kuse ecaleni lasentshonalanga: uGadi, libe linye.
4828Ngasemdeni ke kaGadi, ngasecaleni lasezantsi, ngasezantsi, umda wothabathela kwaTamare, use emanzini embambano aseKadeshe, ukhweze umlambo, use kulo ulwandle olukhulu.
4829Lilo elo ilizwe eniya kulabela izizwe zakwaSirayeli ngamaqashiso, ngokwamafa. Zizo ezo izahlulo zalo, itsho iNkosi uYehova.
4830Zizo ezi iziphelo zamacala omzi: ngecala langasentla ngamawaka amane anamakhulu amahlanu, umlinganiso ngengcongolo;
4831amasango omzi oba ngokwamagama ezizwe zakwaSirayeli, ibe ngamasango amathathu ngasentla: ibe lisango likaRubhen elinye, ibe lisango likaYuda elinye, ibe lisango likaLevi elinye.
4832Ngecala lasempumalanga yoba ngamawaka amane anamakhulu amahlanu eengcongolo; amasango ke mathathu: ibe lisango likaYosefu elinye, ibe lisango likaBhenjamin elinye, ibe lisango likaDan elinye.
4833Ngecala langasezantsi, umlinganiso yoba ngamawaka amane anamakhulu amahlanu; amasango ke mathathu: ibe lisango likaSimon elinye, ibe lisango likaIsakare elinye, ibe lisango likaZebhulon elinye.
4834Ngecala lasentshonalanga yoba ngamawaka amane anamakhulu amahlanu; amasango ke awo mathathu: ibe lisango likaGadi elinye, ibe lisango lika-Ashere elinye, ibe lisango likaNafetali elinye.
4835Ukujikeleza ke lishumi elinesibhozo lamawaka eengcongolo. Igama lawo umzi kothiwa kususela kuloo mini, nguYehova-ekhona.
