Ilizwe liye labethwa ngokuvalwa komsebenzi
1Ilizwi likaYehova elafika kuZefaniya unyana kaKushi, unyana kaGedaliya, unyana ka-Amariya, unyana kaHezekiya, ngemihla kaYosiya unyana ka-Amon, ukumkani wakwaYuda. 2Ndiza kuqalekisa yonk’ into ephuma emhlabeni,’ utsho uYehova. 3Ndiya kutshabalalisa umntu nenkomo; Ndiya kuzitshabalalisa iintaka zezulu, neentlanzi zolwandle, nezikhubekiso zabangendawo; yaye ndiza kumnqumla umntu emhlabeni,’ utsho uYehova. 4Isandla sam ndiya kusolula phezu koYuda, naphezu kwabemi bonke baseYerusalem; ndiwatshabalalise amasalela kaBhahali kule ndawo, negama leMarim ndawonye nababingeleli; 5Nabo banqula imizimba yasezulwini phezu kophahla; nabanqulayo, bafunga uYehova, bafunga uMalkame; 6nabatyekayo kuYehova; nabangamfunanga uYehova, abangambuzanga uYehova. 7Yithini cwaka phambi kweNkosi enguMongami uYehova, ngenxa yokuba ikufuphi imini kaYehova; ngokuba uYehova uwulungisile umbingelelo, ubarhole abamenyiweyo bakhe. 8Kuya kuthi ke ngomhla wombingelelo kaYehova, ndibakhalimele abathetheli, noonyana bokumkani, nabo bonke abanxiba ngubo zimbi. 9Kwangaloo mini ndiya kubohlwaya bonke abagqobhoza iingcango, abazalise izindlu zabaninizo ngogonyamelo nenkohliso. 10Ngaloo mini,’ utsho uYehova, kuya kubakho isandi sokukhwaza sivela kwiSango Leentlanzi, isandi sokukhwaza sivela kowesibini, nesandi esikhulu esiphuma ezintabeni. 11Lilani, bemi baseMakate, ngokuba babhuqiwe bonke abarhwebi; bonke abanxiba isilivere baya kutshabalala. 12Ngelo xesha ndiya kuyigocagoca iYerusalem ngezibane ndize ndibohlwaye abo bahleli ezingqengqelweni zabo, abathi ezintliziyweni zabo: ‘uYehova akenzi okulungileyo okanye okubi. 13Ngako oko ilifa labo liya kuphangwa, nezindlu zabo zibe ngamanxuwa; baya kwakha izindlu, bangahlali kuzo; baya kutyala izidiliya, kodwa abayi kuyisela iwayini yazo. 14Isondele imini enkulu yeNkosi, ikufuphi, iyakhawuleza kakhulu, ilizwi lemini yeNkosi; igorha liya kubhomboloza ngokukrakra apho. 15Loo mini yimini yomsindo, yimini yesibetho nesihelegu, yimini yentshabalalo nentshabalalo, yimini yobumnyama nesithokothoko, yimini yamafu nesithokothoko. 16Imini yesigodlo nokuhlaba umkhosi nxamnye nezixeko ezinqatyisiweyo nakwiinqaba eziphakamileyo. 17Ndiya kubazisela ukubandezeleka abantu ukuze bahambe njengeemfama, ngenxa yokuba bonile kuYehova; igazi labo liya kuphalazwa njengothuli, nenyama yabo njengomthi. 18Isilivere yabo negolide yabo ayiyi kuba nako ukubasindisa ngemini yokuphuphuma komsindo kaYehova; nehlabathi liphela liya kutshiswa ngumlilo wekhwele lakhe;
