Ukutshatyalaliswa kweYerusalem ngomlilo
1Ndabona, nanko, phezu kwesibhakabhaka esibe siphezu kwentloko yeekerubhi,• kunjengelitye lesafire,• kubonakala ngathi ngumfanekiso wetrone; wabonakala phezu kwazo uYehova. 2Wathetha kwindoda eyambethe ilinen emhlophe, wathi, Yiya phakathi kweevili ezijikelezayo ngaphantsi kwekerubhi, uzalise izandla zakho ngamalahle omlilo, uwathabathe phakathi kweekerubhi, uwasasaze phezu kwawo umzi. Yangena ndíyibona.
3Ke iikerubhi bezimi ngasekunene kwendlu, ekungeneni kwendoda leyo; ilifu layizalisa intendelezo ephakathi. 4Benyuka ubuqaqawuli bukaYehova, besuka ezikerubhini, baya emnyango wendlu. Yazala indlu lilifu, nentendelezo yazala bubumhlophe bobuqaqawuli bukaYehova. 5Savakala isandi samaphiko eekerubhi, sada saya entendelezweni engaphandle, sinjengezwi loSomandla akuthetha. 6Kwathi, akuyiwisela umthetho indoda eyambethe ilinen emhlophe, esithi, Thabatha umlilo phakathi kweevili ezijikelezayo, phakathi kweekerubhi, yasuka yangena yema ecaleni kweevili. 7Ibe isuka ke ikerubhi, isolule isandla sayo phakathi kweekerubhi, isise emlilweni ophakathi kweekerubhi, iwuthabathe, iwunikele esandleni sowambethe ilinen emhlophe; ebewuthabatha ke aphume. 8Kwabonakala ke ezikerubhini into efana nesandla somntu, phantsi kwamaphiko azo.
9Ndabona, nanzo iivili eziné zisecaleni leekerubhi, ivili enye isecaleni lekerubhi enye, ivili enye isecaleni lekerubhi enye, ukubonakala kweevili ngathi yimbonakalo yelitye lekrizolite.• 10Ngokubonakala kwazo zoné bezimfani-nye, kwanga kukho ivili ngaphakathi kwevili. 11Ekuhambeni kwazo zahamba zaya kumacala azo omané; àzajikeleza ekuhambeni kwazo; ngokuba apho sukuba leyo iphambili ibe ibheka khona, zibe ziyilandela, zingajikelezi ekuhambeni kwazo.
12Ke umzimba wazo wonke, nomhlana wazo, nezandla zazo, namaphiko azo, neevili, zibe zizele ngamehlo ngeenxa zonke; zoné bezineevili zazo. 13Iivili ezo zabizwa ezindlebeni zam, kwathiwa, ziivili ezijikelezayo. 14Inye ibe inobuso obuné: ubuso bokuqala ibubuso bekerubhi, ubuso besibini ibubuso bomntu, obesithathu ibubuso bengonyama, obesiné ibubuso bokhozi.
15Zenyuka iikerubhi; yilaa nto iphilileyo, ndayibonayo emlanjeni oyiKebhare. 16Ekuhambeni kweekerubhi zahamba iivili ecaleni lazo; nasekuwaphakamiseni kweekerubhi amaphiko azo, ukuba zisuke emhlabeni, azijikanga neevili zazo zimke ecaleni lazo. 17Ekumeni kwazo zema nazo; ekusukeni kwazo ukuba ziphaphazele, zesuka nazo; ngokuba umoya wento ephilileyo ube ukho kuzo.
Umbono wobuqaqawuli bukaThixo
18Baphuma ke ubuqaqawuli bukaYehova, bemka emnyango wendlu, beza kuma phezu kweekerubhi. 19Iikerubhi zawaphakamisa amaphiko azo, zasuka emhlabeni emehlweni am; ekuphumeni kwazo iivili zazingakuzo. Zema eku ngeneni kwesango lendlu kaYehova elisempumalanga, ubuqaqawuli bukaThixo kaSirayeli buphezu kwazo ngaphezulu. 20Yilaa nto iphilileyo, ndayibonayo phantsi koThixo kaSirayeli emlanjeni oyiKebhare; ndazi ke ukuba ziziikerubhi. 21Inye ibe inobuso obuné inye ibe inamaphiko amané, imfano yezandla zomntu ingaphantsi kwamaphiko azo. 22Ke imfano yobuso bazo, ibe ibóbaa buso ndabubonayo emlanjeni oyiKebhare, nokubonakala kwazo nazo ngokwazo; zibe zihamba iyileyo iye kwicala elikhangelene nobuso bayo.
