INkosi izaphakamisela isandla sayo kuIsrayeli
1“Wena ndodana yomuntu, profetha kuzo izintaba zakwa-Israyeli, uthi: ‘Zintaba zakwa-Israyeli, zwanini izwi likaJehova!
2Usho kanje uJehova; Ngokuba isitha sathi ngani: “Ashila, izindawo eziphakemeyo zasendulo zisesandleni sethu;
3Khona-ke profetha uthi: ‘Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Ngokuba bakwenze ihlane, bakushwabadela nxazonke, ube yifa lensali yezizwe, uthathwe ezindebeni zabakhulumayo, ube yihlazo kubantu.
4Ngakho-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.
6Khona-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.
7Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Ngiphakamisile isandla sami, impela, izizwe ezinihaqayo ziyakuthwala ihlazo lazo.
8Kepha nina, zintaba zakwa-Israyeli, niyakuhluma amagatsha enu, nithele izithelo zenu kubantu bami u-Israyeli; ngoba sebeseduze ukuza.
9Ngokuba bhekani, ngikini, ngiyakuphendukela kini, nilinywe, nihlwanyelwe.
10Ngiyakwandisa abantu phezu kwenu, yonke indlu ka-Israyeli, yonke, imizi ihlalwe, kwakhiwe amanxiwa.
11Ngiyakwandisa phezu kwenu abantu nezilwane; futhi bayokwanda futhi bathele izithelo; ngiyakunenza njengempahla yenu endala, ngenze kangcono kunakuqala; nizokwazi ukuthi nginguJehova.
12Yebo, ngizakwenza abantu bahambe phezu kwenu, bantu bami Israyeli; bayokudla ifa, futhi uyoba yifa labo, futhi ngeke usabaphuca abantu.
13Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: ‘Ngokuba bathi kuwe: Izwe lakho lidla abantu, liphanga izizwe zakho;
14Ngalokho anisayikudla abantu, niphanga izizwe zenu, isho iNkosi uJehova.
15Angisayikuvuma ukuba abantu bezwe ihlazo lezizwe phakathi kwakho, futhi awusayikuthwala ihlazo lezizwe, futhi ngeke uphinde uvumele izizwe zakho ziwe,” kusho uJehova.
16Futhi izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:
17Ndodana yomuntu, lapho indlu yakwa-Israyeli isahlezi ezweni layo, yalingcolisa njengezindlela zayo nangezenzo zayo;
18Ngalokho ngathulula ukufutheka kwami phezu kwabo ngenxa yegazi abalichitha phezu kwezwe naphezu kwezithombe zabo abalingcolisa ngazo.
19Ngabahlakazela ezizweni, bahlakazeka emazweni; ngabahlulela ngokwendlela yabo nangezenzo zabo.
20Lapho sebengenile ezizweni ababengena kuzo, balihlambalaza igama lami elingcwele ngokuthi kubo: “Laba bangabantu bakaJehova, basuka ezweni lakhe.
21Kodwa ngalihawukela igama lami elingcwele indlu ka-Israyeli eyalingcolisa phakathi kwezizwe eyaya kuzo.
22Ngakho 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.
23Ngiyakungcwelisa igama lami elikhulu elingcoliswe phakathi kwezizwe, enilingcolisile phakathi kwazo; izizwe ziyakwazi ukuthi nginguJehova,” usho uJehova, “lapho ngingcwelisiwe kini phambi kwamehlo azo.
24Ngoba ngiyakunikhipha phakathi kwezizwe, nginibuthe emazweni onke, nginilethe ezweni lakini.
25Khona ngiyakufafaza amanzi ahlanzekileyo phezu kwenu, nihlambuluke; ngiyakunihlambulula kukho konke ukungcola kwenu nakubo bonke onkulunkulu benu abangcolileyo.
26Ngiyakuninika inhliziyo entsha, ngifake phakathi kwenu umoya omusha; ngiyakukhipha inhliziyo yetshe enyameni yenu, ngininike inhliziyo yenyama.
27Ngiyakufaka uMoya wami phakathi kwenu, ngenze ukuba nihambe ngezimiso zami, nigcine izahlulelo zami, nizenze.
28Niyakuhlala ezweni engalinika oyihlo; niyakuba yisizwe sami, mina ngibe nguNkulunkulu kini.
29Ngiyakunisindisa kukho konke ukungcola kwenu, ngibize amabele, ngiwandise, kungabikho indlala phezu kwenu.
30Ngiyakwandisa isithelo somuthi nezithelo zensimu, ukuze ningabe nisakwamukela isihlamba sendlala phakathi kwezizwe.
31Niyakukhumbula izindlela zenu ezimbi nezenzo zenu ebezingezinhle, ninengeke emehlweni enu ngenxa yobubi benu nangenxa yezinengiso zenu.
32Angikwenzi lokhu ngenxa yenu, usho uJehova, makwazeke kini; yibani namahloni, nibe namahloni ngezindlela zenu nina ndlu ka-Israyeli.
33Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Mhla nginihlanza kubo bonke ububi benu, ngiyakunenza nihlale emizini, kwakhiwe amanxiwa.
34Izwe eliyincithakalo liyakulinywa, lisahlezi liyincithakalo emehlweni abo bonke abadlulayo.
35Futhi bayakuthi: Leli zwe elaliyincithakalo selinjengensimu yase-Edene; namanxiwa, nemizi echithekileyo, nencithakalo yaba ebiyelwe ebiyelwe, yahlalwa.
36Izizwe eziseleyo nxazonke zenu ziyakwazi ukuthi mina Jehova ngiyakha izindawo eziyincithakalo, ngitshale obekuyincithakalo; Mina Jehova ngikukhulumile, futhi ngiyakukwenza.
37Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Ngisayakubuza ngayo indlu yakwa-Israyeli ukuba ngiyenzele yona; ngizakwandisa abantu njengomhlambi;
38Njengomhlambi ongcwele, njengomhlambi waseJerusalema emikhosini yawo; kanjalo imizi eyincithakalo igcwale imihlambi yabantu, bazi ukuthi nginguJehova.
