UYehova uya kuyibuyisa iYerusalem
1Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova wemikhosi, lisithi, 2Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Ndinekhwele, ikhwele elikhulu, ngeZiyon; ndinekhwele, ndinobushushu obukhulu ngayo. 3Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Ndiyibuyéle iZiyon; ndiya kuhlala ke phakathi kweYerusalem, kuthiwe iYerusalem ngumzi wenyaniso; nentaba kaYehova wemikhosi kuthiwe yintaba engcwele. 4Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Kusaya kuhlala amadoda amakhulu neentokazi ezinkulu ezitratweni zaseYerusalem, elowo ephethe umsimelelo wakhe ngesandla, ngenxa yobudala babo; 5zizale izitrato zomzi ngamakhwenkwe namantombazana, edlala ezitratweni zawo.
6Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Ukuba kuyinto engummangaliso emehlweni amasalela aba bantu ngaloo mihla, kuya kuba yinto engummangaliso yini na nasemehlweni am? utsho uYehova wemikhosi. 7Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Yabonani, ndiya kubasindisa abantu bam elizweni lokuphuma kwelanga, naselizweni lokutshona kwalo. 8Ndobazìsa, bahlale phakathi kweYerusalem, babe ngabantu bam, ndibe nguThixo wabo, ngenyaniso nangobulungisa.
9Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Izandla zenu mazomelele, nina bawevayo la mazwi ngale mihla, ephuma emlonyeni wabaprofeti, ababekho mhlenikweni yasekwayo indlu kaYehova wemikosi, itempile, ukuze yakhiwe.
10Ngokuba phambi kwaloo mihla bekungekho mvuzo wabantu, nomvuzo weenkomo ubungekho; nophumayo nongenayo ebengenaluxolo, ngenxa yombandezeli. Ndabenza bonke ukuba umntu achasane nommelwane wakhe. 11Ngoku ke andiyi kuba njengokwemihla yamandulo kumasalela aba bantu; utsho uYehova wemikhosi. 12Kobakho imbewu yoxolo; umdiliya wonika isiqhamo sawo, nelizwe linike indyebo yalo, nezulu linike umbethe walo; zonke ezo zinto ndizidlisè ilifa amasalela abantu. 13Kothi, njengoko benilutshabhiso ezintlangeni, ndlu kaYuda, nani ndlu kaSirayeli, ndénjenjalo ukunisindisa, nibe yintsikelelo; musani ukoyika, mazomelele izandla zenu. 14Ngokuba utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Njengoko ndankqangiyelayo ukwenza ububi kuni, oko ooyihlo bandenza ndaba noburhalarhume, utsho uYehova wemikhosi, andazohlwaya ke: 15ngokunjalo ndibuye ndankqangiyela ngale mihla ukwenza okulungileyo kwiYerusalem, nakwindlu kaYuda; musani ukoyika.
16Nanzi iindawo enothi nizenze zona: Thethani inyaniso elowo kummelwane wakhe; gwebani ngenyaniso nangesigwebo soxolo emasangweni enu. 17Musani ukucinga okubi, elowo ngommelwane wakhe entliziyweni yakhe; ningathandi ukufunga ngobuxoki; ngokuba konke oko; koko ndikuthiyileyo; utsho uYehova.
