1 Wena ke, nyana womntu, profeta ngoGogi, uthi, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabona, ndikuchasile, Gogi, sikhulu sakwaRoshe noMesheki noTubhali.2 Ndiya kukuphambanisa, ndikurhole, ndikunyuse uphume ezingontsini zasentla, ndikuse ezintabeni zakwaSirayeli.3 Ndosithi qhwithi isaphetha sakho esandleni sakho sokhohlo, ndiziwise iintolo zakho esandleni sakho sokunene.4 Uya kuwa ezintabeni zakwaSirayeli, wena namahlelo akho onke, nezizwe ezinawe. Ndiya kukunikela ezintakeni ezixwilayo zeentlobo ngeentlobo, nasemarhamncweni asendle, ukuba ube kukudla.5 Uya kuwa ebusweni belizwe, ngokuba ndithethile; itsho iNkosi uYehova.6 Nothumela umlilo kwaMagogi, nakubemi beziqithi abakholosileyo; bazi ukuba ndinguYehova.7 Ndiya kulazisa igama lam elingcwele phakathi kwabantu bam amaSirayeli, ndingabuyi ndilingcolise igama lam elingcwele; zazi iintlanga ukuba ndinguYehova, oyiNgcwele kwaSirayeli.

8 Yabona, le nto iyeza, iya kubakho; itsho iNkosi uYehova; yiloo mini ndandithetha yona.9 Ke baya kuphuma abemi bemizi yakwaSirayeli, baphembe babase umlilo ngezikrweqe, nangeengweletshetshe, nangamakhaka, ngezaphetha, nangeentolo, nangeenduku, nangezikhali; baphembe umlilo ngazo iminyaka esixhenxe.10 Abayi kutheza ziinkuni endle, bangagawuli nasemahlathini; ngokuba baya kuwuphemba ngezikrweqe umlilo; bathimbe kwabo babethinjwe ngabo, baphange ababephangwe ngabo; itsho iNkosi uYehova.11 Kuya 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.12 Indlu kaSirayeli yoba neenyanga ezisixhenxe ibangcwaba, ukuze balihlambulule ilizwe;13 bonke abantu belizwe eli bangcwabe, kube ludumo kubo mini ndizizukisayo; itsho iNkosi uYehova.14 Baya kubalula amadoda anomonde acandacanda elizweni, nahamba nalawo acandacandayo, angcwabe abaseleyo ebusweni belizwe, ukuba alihlambulule. Ekupheleni kweenyanga ezisixhenxe aya kuligocagoca.15 Baya kucanda abacandacanda elizweni, babone ithambo lomntu, bamise umthelekelelo ecaleni kwalo, bade abangcwabi abo balingcwabe emfuleni wengxokolo kaGogi.16 Igama lomzi okhona liya kuba nguNgxokolo; balihlambulule ke ilizwe.17 Wena 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.18 Niya kudla inyama yamagorha, nisele igazi lezikhulu zehlabathi, iinkunzi zeegusha, namatakane, neenkunzi zeebhokhwe, neenkunzi zeenkomo ezintsha ezityetyisiweyo zaseBhashan, zonke ziphela.19 Nodla amanqatha nihluthe, nisele igazi ninxile embingelelweni wam endinibingeleleyo;20 nihluthe esithebeni sam ngamahashe nangabamahashe, ngamagorha namadoda onke okulwa; itsho iNkosi uYehova.21 Ndiya kubumisa ubuqaqawuli bam ezintlangeni, ziwubone iintlanga zonke umgwebo wam endiya kuwenza, nesandla sam endiya kusisa kuzo.22 Iya kwazi indlu kaSirayeli ukuba ndinguYehova uThixo wabo, ithabathela kuyo le mini ise naphi.

23 Neentlanga 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.24 Ndabenza ngokobunqambi babo nangokwezikreqo zabo, ndabusithelisa ubuso bam kubo.25 Ngako oko, itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Kaloku ndiya kukubuyisa ukuthinjwa kukaYakobi, ndisikwe yimfesane ngenxa yendlu yonke kaSirayeli, ndibe nobukhwele ngegama lam elingcwele.26 Baya kulithwala ihlazo labo, nobumenemene babo bonke ababemeneza ngabo kum, ekuhlaleni kwabo emhlabeni wabo bekholosile, kungekho ubothusayo.27 Ekubabuyiseni kwam ezizweni, ekubabutheni kwam emazweni eentshaba zabo, ndozingcwalisa kubo emehlweni eentlanga ezininzi.28 Baya kwazi ukuba ndinguYehova uThixo wabo, owenza ukuba bathinjelwe ezintlangeni, ndize ndibawomelisele emhlabeni wabo, ndingabuyi ndishiye namnye kubo khona.29 Andiyi kuba sabusithelisa ubuso bam kubo, ngokokuba ndithulule uMoya wam phezu kwendlu kaSirayeli; itsho iNkosi uYehova.
