21 ¹Lafika kum ilizwi likaBawo wethu, lisithi:

²Nyana womntu, bhekisa ubuso bakho eJerusalem, ushumayele ngokuchasene neengcwele zayo, uprofete ngokuchasene nelizwe lakwaSirayeli, ³uthi kulo ilizwe lakwaSirayeli: “Utsho uBawo wakho ukuthi: Ndikuchasile. Ndiya kulirhola ikrele lam esingxobeni salo, ndinqamle kuwe amalungisa nabangendawo. ⁴Ngenxa yokuba ndiya kunqumla kuwe amalungisa nabangendawo, ikrele lam liya kuphuma esingxobeni salo, lichasene naye wonke umntu, kuthabathela emazantsi kuse entla. ⁵Baya kwandula ukwazi bonke ukuba ndinguBawo. Ndilirholile ikrele lam esingxobeni salo, aliyi kubuya libuyele nganeno.

⁶Wena, nyana womntu, ncwina! Ncwina phambi kwamehlo abo ngentliziyo eyaphukayo nangosizi olukrakra. ⁷Xa bathe babuza kuwe, bathi: ‘Yini na ukuba uncwine?’ wothi: ‘Kungenxa yeendaba ezisiza. Zonke iintliziyo ziya kunyibilika, zonke izandla ziphele amandla, yonke imimoya ityhafe, onke amadolo abe ngamanzi. Khangela, kuyafika, yaye kuya kwenzeka ngokuqinisekileyo, itsho iNkosi uBawo.’”

⁸Lafika kum ilizwi likaBawo wethu, lisithi:

⁹Nyana womntu, profeta uthi: Itsho iNkosi uBawo ukuthi: “Ikrele, ikrele, liloliwe laza laqengqelezwa, ¹⁰liloliwe lokuxhela, laqengqelezwa ukuze libenyeze njengombane. Singavuya na ke ngoko? Ikrele liyayidela intonga yonyana wam, njengoko lisenjenjalo nakwimithi yonke. ¹¹Ikrele limisiwe ukuba liqengqelezwe, ukuba libanjwe ngesandla; liloliwe laza laqengqelezwa, lilungele isandla sombulali. ¹²Bhomboloza ukhale, nyana womntu, kuba liya kuchasa abantu bam; liya kuchasa bonke abathetheli bakwaSirayeli. Banikelwe ekreleni kunye nabantu bam. Ngoko ke betha ithanga lakho ngosizi.” ¹³Inene liya kuvavanywa. Kuya kuthini na ukuba nkqu nentonga eliyidelayo ingabi sabakho? itsho iNkosi uBawo. ¹⁴“Ngoko ke wena, nyana womntu, profeta, ubethe izandla zakho ndawonye. Ikrele malihle kabini, nkqu nkathathu— ikrele lokuxhela, ikrele lokuxhela okukhulu, elibarhawula emacaleni onke, ¹⁵ukuze iintliziyo zinyibilike, nabawileyo babe baninzi. Emasangweni abo onke ndilimisile ikrele lokuxhela. Owu! Lenziwe labenyeza njengombane, lirholelwe ukuxhela. ¹⁶Gqobhoza ngasekunene, wandule ngasekhohlo, naphi na apho libhekiswe khona ihlangothi lakho. ¹⁷Nam ndiya kubetha izandla zam, ude uphele umsindo wam. Mna, uBawo wakho, ndithethile.”

¹⁸Lafika kum ilizwi likaBawo wethu, lisithi:

¹⁹“Nyana womntu, misela iindlela zombini, ukuze lize ngazo ikrele lokumkani waseBhabhilon, zombini ziphume kwilizwe elinye. Yenza uphawu apho iphambuka khona indlela, ibheke emzini. ²⁰Misela indlela enye ukuba ikrele lize ngayo, lichasene neRabha yoonyana baka-Amon, enye ichasene noYuda neYerusalem enqatyisiweyo. ²¹Ukumkani waseBhabhilon uyema apho zahlukana khona iindlela zombini, ukuze afune isiqondiso: unyikimisa iintolo, abuze kwizithixo zasendlwini, akhangele isibindi. ^a a v21 Ukunyikimisa iintolo, ukubuza kwizithixo zasendlwini, nokuphenga isibindi sesilwanyana, zazizindlela zontathu zokuvumisa zabaseBhabhilon, ezazisetyenziswe apha ukugqiba ukuba kuhlaselwe wuphi umzi kuqala. ²²Esandleni sakhe sokunene kuwela iqashiso leJerusalem: ukuba amise iingqimba zokungqinga, awise umthetho wokuxhela, aphakamise isikhalo somkhosi, amise iingqimba zokungqinga emasangweni, akhe udonga lokungqinga, aphakamise izinto zokungqinga. ²³Kuya kubonakala kungumvumiso obuxoki kwabo bafunga ukunyaniseka kuye, kodwa yena uya kubakhumbuza ityala labo, ababambe.”

²⁴Ngoko ke itsho iNkosi uBawo ukuthi: “Ngenxa yokuba nilikhumbule ityala lenu ngokukreqa kwenu ekuhleni, nize niveze izono zenu kuko konke enikwenzayo—ngenxa yokuba nikhunjulwa, niya kubanjwa sisandla sokumkani waseBhabhilon. ²⁵Wena ke, mthetheli wakwaSirayeli ohlazisayo nongendawo, imini yakho ifikile, ixesha lesohlwayo sakho sokugqibela. ²⁶Itsho iNkosi uBawo ukuthi: Khulula unkontsho, ususe isithsaba. Akukho nto isayi kuhlala njengoko ibinjalo: ophantsi uphakanyiselwa phezulu, ophezulu uthotywa phantsi. ²⁷Linxuwa! Linxuwa! Ndiya kulenza linxuwa! Aliyi kubuyiselwa ade afike lowo lingowakhe ngokusesikweni; ndiya kulinika yena isithsaba.” ^b b v27 UBawo wethu akayitshabalalisi itrone ngonaphakade — uyigcinela uKumkani olungeleyo. Oku kwalatha ngaphaya kwabo bonke abalawuli abangaphumelelanga, kubhekiswa kuYesu, lowo ubukumkani bungobakhe ngenene (Luka 1:32-33).

²⁸Wena ke, nyana womntu, profeta uthi: Itsho iNkosi uBawo ngoonyana baka-Amon nangokungcikiva kwabo. Yithi: “Ikrele, ikrele, lirholelwe ukuxhela, lilolelwe ukuba lidle, libengezele njengombane! ²⁹‘Ngexa kukho imibono yobuxoki ngawe novumiso lwamanga, liya kubekwa ezintanyeni zabangendawo abaya kubulawa, abafikelwe yimini yabo, ixesha lesohlwayo sabo sokugqibela. ³⁰Buyisela ikrele esingxobeni salo! Endaweni owadalwa kuyo, ezweni owavela kulo, ndiya kukugweba. ³¹Ndiya kuwuthulula umsindo wam phezu kwakho; ndiya kuwuvuthela umlilo wengqumbo yam kuwe, ndikunikele kumadoda anobundlobongela, achule ukutshabalalisa. ³²Uya kuba likhuni lomlilo, igazi lakho liya kuphalazwa ezweni lakho, yaye akusayi kubuya ukhunjulwe. Kuba mna, uBawo, nditshilo.’”
