¹ “Wena ndodana yomuntu, profetha kuzo izintaba zakwa-Israyeli, uthi: ‘Zintaba zakwa-Israyeli, zwanini izwi likaJehova!

² Usho kanje uJehova; Ngokuba isitha sathi ngani: “Ashila, izindawo eziphakemeyo zasendulo zisesandleni sethu;

³ Khona-ke profetha uthi: ‘Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Ngokuba bakwenze ihlane, bakushwabadela nxazonke, ube yifa lensali yezizwe, uthathwe ezindebeni zabakhulumayo, ube yihlazo kubantu.

⁴ Ngakho-ke, zintaba zakwa-Israyeli, zwanini izwi likaJehova; Usho kanje uJehova kuzo izintaba namagquma, nemifula, nezigodi, izinqwaba eziyincithakalo, nasemizini eyincithakalo, eseyimpango nenhlekiso kuyo insali yezizwe nxazonke;

⁵ “Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Ngikhulumile ngomlilo womhawu wami ngokumelene nensali yabezizwe ne-Idumiya yonke ababeka izwe lami efa labo ngentokozo yenhliziyo yabo yonke ngonya ukuze balixoshe njengempango.

⁶ Khona-ke uprofethe ngezwe lakwa-Israyeli, uthi kuzo izintaba namagquma, imifula nezigodi: ‘Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Bhekani, ngikhulumile ngentshiseko yami nangentukuthelo yami, ngokuba nithwele ihlazo labezizwe.

⁷ Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Ngiphakamisile isandla sami, impela, izizwe ezinihaqayo ziyakuthwala ihlazo lazo.

⁸ Kepha nina, zintaba zakwa-Israyeli, niyakuhluma amagatsha enu, nithele izithelo zenu kubantu bami u-Israyeli; ngoba sebeseduze ukuza.

⁹ Ngokuba bhekani, ngikini, ngiyakuphendukela kini, nilinywe, nihlwanyelwe.

¹⁰ Ngiyakwandisa abantu phezu kwenu, yonke indlu ka-Israyeli, yonke, imizi ihlalwe, kwakhiwe amanxiwa.

¹¹ Ngiyakwandisa phezu kwenu abantu nezilwane; futhi bayokwanda futhi bathele izithelo; ngiyakunenza njengempahla yenu endala, ngenze kangcono kunakuqala; nizokwazi ukuthi nginguJehova.

¹² Yebo, ngizakwenza abantu bahambe phezu kwenu, bantu bami Israyeli; bayokudla ifa, futhi uyoba yifa labo, futhi ngeke usabaphuca abantu.

¹³ Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: ‘Ngokuba bathi kuwe: Izwe lakho lidla abantu, liphanga izizwe zakho;

¹⁴ Ngalokho anisayikudla abantu, niphanga izizwe zenu, isho iNkosi uJehova.

¹⁵ Angisayikuvuma ukuba abantu bezwe ihlazo lezizwe phakathi kwakho, futhi awusayikuthwala ihlazo lezizwe, futhi ngeke uphinde uvumele izizwe zakho ziwe,” kusho uJehova.

¹⁶ Futhi izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:

¹⁷ Ndodana yomuntu, lapho indlu yakwa-Israyeli isahlezi ezweni layo, yalingcolisa njengezindlela zayo nangezenzo zayo;

¹⁸ Ngalokho ngathulula ukufutheka kwami phezu kwabo ngenxa yegazi abalichitha phezu kwezwe naphezu kwezithombe zabo abalingcolisa ngazo.

¹⁹ Ngabahlakazela ezizweni, bahlakazeka emazweni; ngabahlulela ngokwendlela yabo nangezenzo zabo.

²⁰ Lapho sebengenile ezizweni ababengena kuzo, balihlambalaza igama lami elingcwele ngokuthi kubo: “Laba bangabantu bakaJehova, basuka ezweni lakhe.

²¹ Kodwa ngalihawukela igama lami elingcwele indlu ka-Israyeli eyalingcolisa phakathi kwezizwe eyaya kuzo.

²² Ngakho yithi kuyo indlu kaIsrayeli: Itsho njalo iNkosi; Angikwenzi lokhu ngenxa yenu nina ndlu yakwa-Israyeli, kepha ngenxa yegama lami elingcwele enilingcolisile phakathi kwezizwe eniye kuzo.

²³ Ngiyakungcwelisa igama lami elikhulu elingcoliswe phakathi kwezizwe, enilingcolisile phakathi kwazo; izizwe ziyakwazi ukuthi nginguJehova,” usho uJehova, “lapho ngingcwelisiwe kini phambi kwamehlo azo.

²⁴ Ngoba ngiyakunikhipha phakathi kwezizwe, nginibuthe emazweni onke, nginilethe ezweni lakini.

²⁵ Khona ngiyakufafaza amanzi ahlanzekileyo phezu kwenu, nihlambuluke; ngiyakunihlambulula kukho konke ukungcola kwenu nakubo bonke onkulunkulu benu abangcolileyo.

²⁶ Ngiyakuninika inhliziyo entsha, ngifake phakathi kwenu umoya omusha; ngiyakukhipha inhliziyo yetshe enyameni yenu, ngininike inhliziyo yenyama.

²⁷ Ngiyakufaka uMoya wami phakathi kwenu, ngenze ukuba nihambe ngezimiso zami, nigcine izahlulelo zami, nizenze.

²⁸ Niyakuhlala ezweni engalinika oyihlo; niyakuba yisizwe sami, mina ngibe nguNkulunkulu kini.

²⁹ Ngiyakunisindisa kukho konke ukungcola kwenu, ngibize amabele, ngiwandise, kungabikho indlala phezu kwenu.

³⁰ Ngiyakwandisa isithelo somuthi nezithelo zensimu, ukuze ningabe nisakwamukela isihlamba sendlala phakathi kwezizwe.

³¹ Niyakukhumbula izindlela zenu ezimbi nezenzo zenu ebezingezinhle, ninengeke emehlweni enu ngenxa yobubi benu nangenxa yezinengiso zenu.

³² Angikwenzi lokhu ngenxa yenu, usho uJehova, makwazeke kini; yibani namahloni, nibe namahloni ngezindlela zenu nina ndlu ka-Israyeli.

³³ Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Mhla nginihlanza kubo bonke ububi benu, ngiyakunenza nihlale emizini, kwakhiwe amanxiwa.

³⁴ Izwe eliyincithakalo liyakulinywa, lisahlezi liyincithakalo emehlweni abo bonke abadlulayo.

³⁵ Futhi bayakuthi: Leli zwe elaliyincithakalo selinjengensimu yase-Edene; namanxiwa, nemizi echithekileyo, nencithakalo yaba ebiyelwe ebiyelwe, yahlalwa.

³⁶ Izizwe eziseleyo nxazonke zenu ziyakwazi ukuthi mina Jehova ngiyakha izindawo eziyincithakalo, ngitshale obekuyincithakalo; Mina Jehova ngikukhulumile, futhi ngiyakukwenza.

³⁷ Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Ngisayakubuza ngayo indlu yakwa-Israyeli ukuba ngiyenzele yona; ngizakwandisa abantu njengomhlambi;

³⁸ Njengomhlambi ongcwele, njengomhlambi waseJerusalema emikhosini yawo; kanjalo imizi eyincithakalo igcwale imihlambi yabantu, bazi ukuthi nginguJehova.
