ngokuba luyeza usuku lukaJehova,

ngokuba lusondele;

₂usuku lobumnyama nolwesigayegaye,

usuku lwamafu nolobumnyama obukhulu,

njengokusa kwenekwe ezintabeni,

abantu abaningi abanamandla

abangazange babe ngabanjalo kwasendulo,

nabangasoze baba ngabanjalo emva kwabo

kuze kube naseminyakeni yezizukulwane ngezizukulwane.

₃Phambi kwabo kuyadla umlilo,

nasemva kwabo kushisa ilangabi;

izwe liphambi kwabo njengensimu yase-Edene,

nangasemva kwabo kuyihlane lencithakalo,

akukho okubabalekelayo.

₄Isimo sabo sinjengesimo samahhashi,

bangena ngamafasitele njengesela.

₁₀Umhlaba uyazamazama phambi kwabo,

amazulu ayathuthumela;

ilanga nenyanga kuphenduka ubumnyama,

nezinkanyezi zisusa ukukhanya kwazo.

₁₁UJehova uzwakalisa izwi lakhe phambi kwempi yakhe,

ngokuba ibandla lakhe likhulu kakhulu,

nowenza izwi lakhe unamandla;

yebo, usuku lukaJehova lukhulu,

luyesabeka kakhulu;

ngubani ongaluthwala na?

₁₂“Kepha manje,” usho uJehova,

“phendukelani kimi ngenhliziyo yenu yonke,

nangokuzila ukudla, nangokukhala,

nangokulila.”

₁₃Niklebhule inhliziyo yenu,

hhayi izingubo zenu,

niphendukele kuJehova uNkulunkulu wenu,

ngokuba yena unomusa,

unobumnene,

wephuza ukuthukuthela,

kuJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, na?

₁₅Bethani icilongo eSiyoni,

ningcwelise ukuzila ukudla,

₁₆buthani abantu, ningcwelise ibandla,

niqoqe abadala, nibuthe izingane nabancelayo;

umyeni makaphume ekamelweni lakhe,

nomakoti emgonqweni wakhe.

₁₇Abapristi, izikhonzi zikaJehova,

mabakhale phakathi kompheme ne-altare, bathi:

“Hawukela abantu bakho, Jehova,

unganikeli isabelo sakho sibe yinhlamba,

ukuze abezizwe bababhinqe;

yini ukuba basho phakathi kwabantu, bathi:

‘Uphi uNkulunkulu wabo na?’ ”

₁₈UJehova wayesehawukela izwe lakhe,

wabahawukela abantu bakhe.

₁₉UJehova waphendula,

wathi kubantu bakhe:

“Bhekani, ngiyakunithumela amabele, newayini, namafutha,

nisuthe ngakho,

ngingabe ngisanenza inhlamba phakathi kwabezizwe.

₂₀“Ngiyakudedisela kude nani owasenyakatho,

ngimxoshele ezweni elomileyo nelichithakeleyo,

ubuso bakhe bube ngaselwandle lwasempumalanga,

umuva wakhe ube ngaselwandle lwasentshonalanga,

kukhuphuke ukunuka kwakhe,

kwenyuke iphunga lakhe elibi;”

ngokuba wenzile izinto ezinkulu.

₂₁Ungesabi, lizwe;

jabula, uthokoze,

ngokuba uJehova wenzile izinto ezinkulu.

₂₂Ningesabi, zilwane zasendle,

ngokuba amadlelo asehlane ayahluma,

nemithi ithela izithelo,

umkhiwane nomvini kuveza amandla akho.

₂₃Jabulani, bantwana baseSiyoni,

nithokoze kuJehova uNkulunkulu wenu,

ngokuba uninika imvula yokuqala ngokulunga,

unehlisela imvula,

eyokuqala neyamuva,

njengasekuqaleni.

₂₄Izibuya ziyakugcwala amabele,

nezikhongozelo ziyakuchichima iwayini namafutha.

₂₅“Ngiyakubuyisela kini iminyaka eyadliwa yisikhonyane,

nezinkumbi, nenkasa, nesibotho,

impi yami enkulu engayithuma phakathi kwenu.

₂₆Niyakudla nokudla, nisuthe,

nilidumise igama likaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu

oniphathe ngokumangalisayo;

abantu bami abayikujabha kuze kube phakade.

₂₇Niyakwazi ukuthi ngiphakathi kuka-Israyeli

nokuthi nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu,

akakho omunye;

abantu bami abayikujabha kuze kube phakade.

₂₈“Kuyakuthi ngasemuva ngithulule uMoya wami phezu kwayo yonke inyama;

amadodana enu namadodakazi enu ayakuprofetha,

abadala benu baphuphe amaphupho,

izinsizwa zenu zibone imibono;

₂₉naphezu kwezinceku nezincekukazi ngalezo zinsuku

ngiyakuthulula uMoya wami.

₃₀Ngiyakuveza izimangaliso ezulwini nasemhlabeni,

igazi, nomlilo, nezinsika zomusi.

₃₁Ilanga liyakuphenduka ubumnyama,

inyanga ibe yigazi,

lungakafiki usuku olukhulu nolwesabekayo lukaJehova.

₃₂Kuyakuthi bonke ababiza igama likaJehova

bakhululwe,

ngokuba entabeni yaseSiyoni naseJerusalema

kuyakuba ngabasindileyo,

njengalokho eshilo uJehova,

naphakathi kwabaseleyo kube ngababizwa nguJehova.

₁“Ngokuba ngalezo zinsuku nangaleso sikhathi,

lapho ngiyakubuyisa ukuthunjwa kukaJuda neJerusalema,

₂ngiyakubutha zonke izizwe,

ngizehlisele esigodini sikaJehoshafati,

ngahlulelane nazo khona ngenxa yabantu bami

nesabelo sami u-Israyeli,

ezibahlakazile phakathi kwezizwe,

zabela izwe lami.

₃Zenza inkatho ngabantu bami,

zanika umfana ngesifebe,

zathengisa ngentombazana ngenxa yewayini,

zaliphuza.

₉Memezelani lokhu phakathi kwabezizwe,

ningcwelise impi,

niwavuse amaqhawe;

mawasondele,

enyuke onke amadoda empi.

₁₀Khandani amakhuba enu abe yizinkemba,

ocelemba benu babe yimikhonto,

obuthakathaka asho ukuthi ngiyiqhawe.

₁₁Sheshani nifike nina bezizwe zonke nxazonke, nibuthane,

wehlisele khona amaqhawe akho, Jehova.

₁₂“Mabazivuse abezizwe,

benyukele esigodini sikaJehoshafati,

ngokuba ngahlulele bonke abezizwe nxazonke.

₁₃Fakani isikela,

ngokuba okuzakuvunwa sekuvuthiwe;

ngokuba isikhamo sewayini sigcwele,

nezikhongozelo ziyachichima,

ngokuba ububi babo bukhulu.”

₁₄Yizixuku ngezixuku esigodini sokwahlulela,

ngokuba usuku lukaJehova lusondele esigodini sokwahlulela.

₁₅Ilanga nenyanga kuba mnyama,

izinkanyezi zisusa ukukhanya kwazo.

₁₆UJehova uyaduma eseSiyoni,

ezwakalise izwi lakhe eseJerusalema;

izulu nomhlaba kuyazamazama,

kepha uJehova uyisiphephelo sabantu bakhe,

nenqaba yabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

₁₇Bese nikwazi ukuthi nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wenu

engihlala eSiyoni, intaba yami engcwele;

iJerusalema liyakuba ngcwele,

abafokazi abasayikulidabula.

₁₈“Kuyakuthi ngalolo suku

izintaba ziconse iwayini elimnandi,

amagquma agobhoze ubisi,

yonke imifula yakwaJuda igobhoze amanzi;

kuyakuvela umthombo endlini kaJehova

oyakunisela isigodi saseShithimi.

₁₉IGibithe liyakuba yincithakalo,

u-Edomi abe yihlane lencithakalo

ngenxa yendluzula eyenziwe kubantwana bakwaJuda,

ngokuba bachithile igazi elingenacala ezweni labo.

₂₀Kepha uJuda uyakuhlala kuze kube phakade,

neJerusalema ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane.

₂₁Ngiyakuphindisela igazi labo engingakaliphindiseli,”

ngokuba uJehova wakhile eSiyoni.
