1 Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,2 Nyana womntu, bhekisa ubuso bakho ezintabeni zakwaSirayeli, uprofetele kuzo,3 uthi, Yivani, nina zintaba zakwaSirayeli, ilizwi leNkosi uYehova. Itsho iNkosi uYehova kwiintaba nakwiinduli, kwizihlambo nakwimifula, ukuthi, Yabonani, ndinizisela ikrele, ndizidilize iziganga zenu.4 Ziya kuba ngamanxuwa izibingelelo zenu, zaphulwe izithixo zenu zelanga; ndibakhahlele ababuleweyo benu phambi kwezigogo zenu.5 Ndozibeka izidumbu zoonyana bakaSirayeli phambi kwezigodo zabo, ndiwachithachithe amathambo enu ngeenxa zonke ezibingelelweni zenu.6 Imizi 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.7 Uya kuwa obuleweyo esazulwini senu; nazi ukuba ndinguYehova.

8 Ndiya kushiya amasalela, ngokuthi kubekho kuni abasindileyo ekreleni phakathi kweentlanga, ekuchithwachithweni kwenu emazweni.9 Abasindileyo 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.10 Baya kwazi ukuba ndinguYehova; andifumane ndathetha ndathi, Ndiya kubenza obu bubi kubo.

11 Itsho 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.12 Okude uya kufa yindyikitya yokufa, okufuphi awe likrele, nosale walondolozwa afe yindlala; ndibuphelelisele kubo ubushushu bam.13 Niya 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.14 Ndosolula isandla sam phezu kwabo; ndilenze ilizwe kube senkangala yakwankangala, ngaphezu kwentlango yakwaDibhelata, ezindaweni zonke zokuhlala kwabo; bazi ukuba ndinguYehova.
