Abeluleki ababi
1UMoya wangiphakamisa, wangiyisa esangweni lendlu kaJehova lasempumalanga, elibhekene nempumalanga; bheka, ngasesivalweni sesango kwakukhona amadoda angamashumi amabili nanhlanu; ngabona phakathi kwawo uJahazaniya indodana ka-Azuri noPhelathiya indodana kaBenaya, izikhulu zabantu.
2Wathi kimi: Ndodana yomuntu, yilawamadoda aceba okubi, anika iziluleko ezimbi kulomuzi,
3athi: Akuseduze yini ukuba kwakhiwe izindlu? Lomuzi uyikhanzi, thina siyinyama.
4Ngalokho profetha ngabo, uprofethe, ndodana yomuntu.
5UMoya kaJehova wehlela phezu kwami, wathi kimi: Yisho uthi: Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Nisho njalo nina-ndlu kaIsrayeli; ngiyazi mina okungena emoyeni wenu.
6Nandisile ababuleweyo benu kulomuzi, nigcwalisile izitaladi zawo ngababuleweyo.
7Ngalokho isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Ababuleweyo benu enibabekile phakathi kwawo bayinyama, nawo uqobo uyikhanzi, kepha nina ngiyakunikhipha phakathi kwawo.
8Niyesabile inkemba; ngiyakunehlisela inkemba, isho iNkosi uJehova.
9Ngiyakunikhipha phakathi kwawo, ngininikele esandleni sabafokazi, ngahlulele phakathi kwenu.
10Niyakuwa ngenkemba, nginahlulele emkhawulweni wakwaIsrayeli, nazi ukuthi nginguJehova.
11Lomuzi awuyikuba-yikhanzi, nani aniyikuba-yinyama phakathi kwalo; ngiyakunahlulela emkhawulweni wakwaIsrayeli,
12nazi ukuthi nginguJehova, ngokuba anihambanga ngezimiso zami, nezahlulelo zami anizenzanga, kepha nenzé njengezahlulelo zezizwe ezinihaqayo.
Isiprofetho sokubuyiswa
13Kwathi lapho ngiprofetha, uPhelathiya indodana kaBenaya wafa. Ngase ngiwa ngobuso, ngakhala ngezwi elikhulu, ngathi: O Nkosi Jehova, uyakwenza ukuba iphele insali yakwaIsrayeli na?
14Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:
15Ndodana yomuntu, abafowenu, yebo, abafowenu abayizihlobo zakho nayo yonke indlu yakwaIsrayeli, bonke abakhileyo eJerusalema abashilo kubo ukuthi: Dedani kuJehova; lelizwe linikiwe thina libe-yifa,
16thana ngabo: Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Noma ngibadedisele kude phakathi kwezizwe, ngabahlakazela emazweni, ngaba-yindlu engcwele nokho kubo isikhashana emazweni ababehlakazelwe kuwo.
17Ngalokho thana: Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Ngiyakunibutha ezizweni, nginiqoqe emazweni enihlakazekelwe kuwo, ngininike izwe lakwaIsrayeli.
18Bayakufika khona, basuse lapho konke okuzondekayo kwalo nazo zonke izinengiso zalo.
19Ngiyakubanika inhliziyo ibenye, ngibeke umoya omusha phakathi kwabo, ngikhiphe inhliziyo yetshe enyameni yabo, ngibanike inhliziyo yenyama
20ukuba bahambe ngezimiso zami, bagcine izahlulelo zami, bazenze, babengabantu bami, mina ngibe-nguNkulunkulu wabo.
21Kepha labo abanhliziyo zabo zilandela izinhliziyo zokuzondekayo kwabo nezinengiso zabo, ngiyakwehlisela phezu kwamakhanda abo indlela yabo, isho iNkosi uJehova.
22Amakherubi* ayesephakamisa amaphiko awo namasondo ayeseceleni kwawo; inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli yayiphezu kwawo.
23Inkazimulo kaJehova yakhuphuka phakathi komuzi, yema entabeni engasempumalanga komuzi.
24UMoya wayesengiphakamisa, wangiyisa ngombono ngoMoya kaNkulunkulu eKalideya kubathunjwa. Wawusuwenyuka kimi umbono engiwubonileyo.
25Ngase ngikhuluma kubathunjwa zonke izinto uJehova angibonisile zona.
