Abaphorofidi abakhuluma amala

⁹ Mayelana nabaphorofidi uJoromiya wathi: Ihliziywami yephukile ngaphakathi kwami, amathambami woke ayaqhaqhazela. Ngifana nomuntu odakiweko, iye, umuntu ohlulwa liwayini, ngebanga lakaSomnini kanye namezwakhe acwengileko.

¹⁰ Inarha izele ngeenhlobongi, ngebanga lesithuko iyalila namadlelo erhalawumbeni atjhwabile. Abaphorofidi bajabajabela okumbi, basebenzisa amandlabo ngokungakalungi.

¹¹ “Abaphorofidi nabaphristi basilaphele, ngifumana ubukhohlakali babo ngitjho nangethempelini lami.” Kutjho uSomnini.

¹² “Ngalokho indlelabo izakufana neendawo ezitjhelelako ebumnyameni, bazakusunduzwa bawele kizo. Ngizabehlisela ihlekelele ngomnyaka abazakuhlunguphazwa ngawo.” Kutjho uSomnini.

¹³ “Phakathi kwabaphorofidi beSamariya ngabona nasi into enyenyisako: Baphorofida ngoBhali bese badurhisa abantu bami, u-Israyeli.

¹⁴ Phakathi kwabaphorofidi beJerusalema khona ngabona nasi into ekghabhudlhako: Bayahlobonga bebaphile ngamala. Baqinisa izandla zabenzi bobumbi, ukuze kungabikho ophendukako ebukhohlakalini bakhe. Boke sebafana neSodoma kimi, iye, abantu beJerusalema sebafana neGomora.”

¹⁵ Ngalokho-ke, nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini uMninimandlawoke mayelana nabaphorofidi: “Ngizabadlisa ukugoma okumunyu basele amanzi anobuthi ngombana ukusukela ebaphorofidini beJerusalema ummoya wokusilaphala warhatjheka inarha yoke.”

¹⁶ Nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini ebantwini bakwaJuda: “Ningalaleli lokho abaphorofidi abakuphorofida kini; bona bayanikhohlisa.” Iye, bakhuluma imiyalezo yemikhumbulwabo ingasi evela emlonyeni kaSomnini.

¹⁷ Kilabo abanyaza ilizwi lakaSomnini banande bathi: “Nizakuba nokuthula.” Bese kabalandela ukukhunyalala kweenhliziyo zabo bathi: “Akunanto embi ezanehlela.”

¹⁸ Kodwana ngubani phakathi kwabo owakhe wajama ebandla lakaSomnini kobana ezwe abe alemuke amezwakhe na? Iye, ngubani owakhe wayelela bewalemuka ilizwi lakhe na?

¹⁹ Qalani, naso isiwuruwuru sakaSomnini! Sikurhwanta kwetukuthelo kaSomnini, iye, isivunguvungu esikhwitjhizelako! Sizakuvunguzela phezu kweenhloko zabakhohlakeleko.

²⁰ Itukuthelo kaSomnini angeze yahlehla, iye, angeze yahlehla angakafezi iinhloso zehliziywakhe. Emalangeni ezako nizakuzwisisa kuhle.

²¹ USomnini uthi: “Azange ngibathume abaphorofidaba, khonapho bona bagijima ngomlayezwabo; azange ngikhulume nabo, khonapho bona sebayaziphorofidela nje.

²² Kodwana nakube bebajame ebandla lami, bebazokumemezela amezwami ebantwini bami bebababuyisele eendleleni zabo ezimbi nezenzweni zabo ezimbi.

²³ “NginguZimu eduzapha kwaphela na?” Kutjho uSomnini. “AngisinguZimu nakude na?

²⁴ Ukhona ongabhaca eendaweni ezisithekileko kobana ngingamboni na? Angisikhona koke ezulwini nephasini na?” Kutjho uSomnini.

²⁵ “Ngizwile kobana abaphorofidi abaphorofida amala ebizweni lami bonyana bathini. Bathi, ‘Ngibe nebhudango! Iye, ngibhudangile uyazi!’

²⁶ Kuzabe bekube kunini kobana phakathi kwabaphorofidi kube nalabo abaphorofida amala, iye, abaphorofidi abanekohliso eenhliziyweni zabo na?

²⁷ Bacabanga bonyana amabhudango abatjelana wona azakwenza abantu bami bakhohlwe ibizo lami njengombana kwenza aboyise ngebanga laboBhali na?

²⁸ Umphorofidi onebhudango akalitjho ibhudangwelo nonelizwi elibuya kimi akalikhulume ngokwethembeka. Amakhoba ahlangana njani namabele na?” Kutjho uSomnini.

²⁹ “Ilizwi lami alifani nomlilo na? Alifani nenondo ephadlhula idwala libe ziinququ na?” Kutjho uSomnini.

³⁰ “Ngalokho ngijamelene nabaphorofidi abebelana amezwami bese bathi avela kimi.” Kutjho uSomnini.

³¹ Godu uSomnini uthi: “Ngijamelene nabaphorofidi abasebenzisa amalimabo bese bathi, ‘Kutjho uSomnini’.

³² Ngambala ngijamelene nalabo abaphorofida ngamabhudango wamala.” Kutjho uSomnini. “Badurhisa abantu bami ngokubatjela amala nokuzikhukhumeza kwabo, khisibe azange ngibathume namkha ngibayale. Ekugcineni ababasizi ngalitho abantwaba.” Kutjho uSomnini.

³³ “Lokha abantwaba, abaphorofidi namkha abaphristi nabakubuza bathi, ‘Uthini umlayezo kaSomnini na?’ Uzakuphendula uthi, ‘USomnini uthi: Nibuzelani umlayezo khisibe nginilahlile na?’

³⁴ Nakube kunomphorofidi, umphristi namkha omunye othi, ‘Naku umlayezo kaSomnini’, ngizakuhlunguphaza umuntu loyo nomndenakhe.

³⁵ Nakhu okufanele kutjhiwo ngomunye nomunye wenu ebanganini bakhe namkha eenhlotjeni zakhe, ‘Ithini ipendulo kaSomnini?’ namkha, ‘USomnini utheni?’

³⁶ Nakumamezwi athi, ‘umlayezo kaSomnini’ ningabe nisawakhuluma godu. Umlayezo kaSomnini uzakuba ngewomuntu welizwi lakhe ngombana nina nitjhugulule amezwi kaZimu ophilako, uSomnini uMninimandlawoke, uZimethu.

³⁷ Nakhu enifanele nikutjho kumphorofidi, weqiniso, ‘USomnini uphendule wathini kuwe?’, namkha nithi, ‘USomnini ukhulume wathini?’ ”

³⁸ Mbala, nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini: “Nakube nihlalele ukukhuluma ngomlayezo kaSomnini, iye, nanihlalele ukukhuluma amezwi athi ‘umlayezo kaSomnini’ phezu kobana bengithumele umuntu bona anitjele ningabe nisathi ‘umlayezo kaSomnini’,

³⁹ ngalokho-ke, ngizanisusa ebukhoneni bami, nginilahle nina nedorobho enginiphe lona naboyihlo.

⁴⁰ Ngizanehlisela ukurhubutjhwa okungapheliko, iye, ukuhlaziseka kwamlibe nekungeze kwakhohlweka.”
