Ukwehlulelwa Kwabahlubuke USimakade
1“Ngavuma ukufunwa yilabo abangangicelanga,
ngafunyanwa ngabangazange bangifune,
ngathi: ‘Ngilapha, ngilapha,’
esizweni esingabizwanga ngeGama lami.
2Ngibelulele izandla zami
usuku lonke abantu abahlubukayo,
abahamba ngendlela engeyinhle
nangokwemicabango yabo,
3abantu abahlala njalo bengichukuluza, bengikhomba,
behlabela ezivandeni,
beshisa impepho phezu kwezitini;
4abahlala emathuneni,
balale ezindaweni ezisithekileyo,
abadla inyama yezingulube,
benomhluzi wezinto ezinengekayo ezitsheni zabo,
5abathi: ‘Mana khona lapho,
ungasondeli kimi,
ngokuba ngehlukanisiwe kuwe;’
laba bantu banjengentuthu emakhaleni ami,
umlilo ovutha usuku lonke.
6“Bheka, kulotshwe phambi kwami
ukuthi: angiyukuthula, ngiyoziphindiselela,
yebo, ngiphindisele ezifubeni zabo
7ububi babo, nobokhokho babo kanyekanye,” kusho uSimakade.
8Usho kanje uSimakade, uthi:
“Njengalokhu iwayini elisha
litholwa ehlukuzweni lamagilebhisi,
bese kuthiwa:
‘Ningaloni ngokuba kunesibusiso esikulo,’
ngiyokwenza kanjalo,
ngenxa yenceku yami:
angiyukubabulala bonke.
9Ngiyakuveza izizukulwane kuJakobe,
nendlalifa yezintaba zami kuJuda;
abakhethiweyo bami bayakulidla,
nezinceku zami ziyakukwakha khona.
10ISharoni liyakuba yidlelo lezimvu,
nesigodi i-Akhori sibe yindawo
yokubuthisa izinkomo kubantu bami.
11“Maye, kinina enishiya uSimakade,
nikhohlwe yintaba yami engcwele,
enihlelela iNhlanhla itafula,
nenigcwalisela uMiselo iwayini elixhutshanisiweyo;
12ngiyakunigweba ngenkemba,
nonke niyokhothamela ukuhlatshwa,
ngokuba ngesikhathi nginibiza, aniphendulanga;
nalapho ngikhuluma, aningizwanga;
kodwa nenze okubi emehlweni ami,
nakhetha lokho engingathokozi ngakho.”
13Ngalokho isho kanje iNkosi uSimakade, ithi:
“Niyabona-ke, izinceku zami ziyakudla,
kodwa nina niyakulamba;
bhekani, izinceku zami ziyakuphuza,
kepha nina niyokoma;
bhekani, izinceku zami ziyakuthokoza,
kodwa nina niyakujabha;
14bhekani, izinceku zami ziyakumemeza ngokujabula
nangokwenama kwenhliziyo,
kepha nina niyakukhala
ngokudabuka kwenhliziyo yenu,
nilile ngobuhlungu emphefumulweni.
15Niyakulishiya igama lenu,
libe yisiqalekiso kwabakhethiweyo bami,
iNkosi uSimakade iyonibulala,
ibize izinceku zayo ngelinye igama.
16Ngakho-ke lowo oyobiza
isibusiso ezweni uyakuzibusisa
ngoNkulunkulu weqiniso,
nalowo ofungayo ezweni,
uyofunga ngoNkulunkulu weqiniso,
ngokuba izinhlupheko zakuqala zikhohlakele,
futhi zifihlakele emehlweni ami.”
Izulu Elisha Nomhlaba Omusha
17“Ngokuba bheka, ngiyakudala izulu elisha
nomhlaba omusha;
izinto zakuqala aziyukukhunjulwa,
azinakuvuka enhliziyweni.
18Kodwa jabulani nethabe kuze kube phakade
ngalokho engizakukudala,
ngokuba ngizakulenza iJerusalema libe ngukwethaba,
nabantu balo babe yinjabulo.
19Ngiyakwethaba ngeJerusalema,
ngijabule ngabantu bami,
akuseyukuzwakala kulo izwi lokulila
nezwi lokukhala.
20“Kusukela lapho akusayukuba khona
usana oluyophila izinsukwana,
nexhegu elingazigcwalisanga izinsuku zalo,
ngokuba oyakufa eneminyaka eyikhulu yobudala,
uyothathwa njengobesemusha;
nalowo ofa engayihlanganisanga
iminyaka eyikhulu,
kuyakuthiwa uqalekisiwe.
21Bayokwakha izindlu, bahlale kuzo,
batshale izivini, badle izithelo zazo.
22Abayukwakha, bese kuhlala omunye;
abayukutshala, bese kudla omunye,
ngokuba izinsuku zabantu bami
ziyokuba njengezinsuku zomuthi;
abakhethiweyo bami
bayowuthokozela isikhathi eside
umsebenzi wezandla zabo.
23Abayukushikashikela ize,
noma bazale izingane bezizalela ukuhlupheka,
ngokuba bayizizukulwane zababusisiweyo bakaSimakade,
kanjalo nabantwana babo.
24Kuyakuthi bengakangibizi, ngibaphendule;
besakhuluma, ngiyokuzwa.
25Inkentshane liyakudla ndawonye newundlu,
ingonyama idle utshani njengenkomo,
uthuli lube ngukudla kwenyoka;
akuyukulimazana,
akuyukucekelana phansi
kuyo yonke intaba yami engcwele,” kusho uSimakade.
