22 ¹Lafika kum ilizwi likaBawo wethu, lisithi:

²Ke wena, nyana womntu, uya kugweba na? Uya kugweba na umzi wokuphalaza igazi? Wuxelele ke wonke amasikizi awo. ³Yithi: Itsho iNkosi uBawo ukuthi: Mzi uphalaza igazi phakathi kwawo, ngoko ke lifikile ixesha lawo, uzenzele nezithixo, uzenza inqambi. ⁴Ngegazi olikuphalazileyo unetyala, nangezithixo ozenzileyo uyinqambi. Usondeze isiphelo sakho, wada wafika esiphelweni seminyaka yakho. Ngako oko ndikwenza isingcikivo ezintlangeni, isigculelo kuwo onke amazwe. ⁵Abo bakufuphi nabakude kuwe baya kukugculela—mzi onegama eliyinqambi, ozele sisiphithiphithi.

⁶Khangela ukuba wonke umthetheli wakwaSirayeli ophakathi kwakho usebenzisa amandla akhe ukuphalaza igazi. ⁷Kuwe bamdelile uyise nonina; kuwe bamxinile owasemzini; kuwe bamonile inkedama nomhlolokazi. ⁸Uzidelile izinto zam ezingcwele, wazihlambela iisabatha zam. ⁹Kuwe kukho abahlebi abafuna ukuphalaza igazi; kuwe kukho abadla ezintabeni zasezigangeni, benze izinto eziziintloni phakathi kwakho. ¹⁰Kuwe balala nabafazi booyise; kuwe bayona abafazi besekungcoleni kobunqambi babo. ¹¹Omnye wenza amasikizi nomfazi wommelwane wakhe; omnye ngokuziintloni umenze inqambi umolokazana wakhe; omnye wona udade wabo, intombi kayise. ¹²Kuwe bamkela izicengo ukuze baphalaze igazi; ubiza inzala, wenza inzuzo egqithiseleyo, uxhakamfula inzuzo embi kummelwane wakho. Ke mna uyandilibala, itsho iNkosi uBawo.

¹³Ngoku khangela, ndizibetha izandla zam ndakuzibethanisa ngenxa yenzuzo embi oyenzileyo nangenxa yegazi oliphalazileyo phakathi kwakho. ¹⁴Yoba selikho na ubukroti bakho, zoba sezomelele na izandla zakho, mhla ndithetha nawe? Mna, Bawo wakho, ndithethile, ndiya kwenza. ¹⁵Ndiya kukuchithachitha phakathi kweentlanga, ndikuphangalalise emazweni, ndisuse ubunqambi bakho kuwe. ¹⁶Wakuba yinqambi phambi kweentlanga, wazi ukuba ndinguBawo wakho.

¹⁷Lafika ke kum ilizwi likaBawo wethu, lisithi:

¹⁸Nyana womntu, indlu kaSirayeli indenzele intlenga; bonke bangubhedu, netin, nesinyithi, nelothe phakathi kwiziko—yintlenga yesilivere. ¹⁹Ngako oko itsho iNkosi uBawo ukuthi: Ngenxa enokuba nonke niyinqambi, ndiya kunihlanganisela eYerusalem. ²⁰Njengokuba isilivere, nobhedu, nesinyithi, nelothe, netin kuhlanganiselwa eziko, kuvuthelwe umlilo phezu kwako ukuba kunyibilike, ngokunjalo ndiya kunihlanganisa ngomsindo wam nangequmbo lam, ndibeke apho, ndininyibilikise. ²¹Ndiya kunihlanganisa, ndivuthele phezu kwenu ngomlilo womsindo wam, ninyibilike phakathi kwawo. ²²Njengokuba isilivere inyibilika eziko, nani ngokunjalo niya kunyibilika phakathi kwalo. Niya kwandula ke nazi ukuba mna, Bawo wenu, ndiliphalazile iqumbo lam phezu kwenu.

²³Labuya lafika kum ilizwi likaBawo wethu, lisithi:

²⁴Nyana womntu, mxelele: Uyilizwe elingahlanjululwanga, elinganiselwanga mvula ngemini yomsindo. ²⁵Abaprofeti balo bayayila ndawonye, bayingonyama egqumayo eqwenga ixhoba; badla imiphefumlo, bathabatha ubutyebi nezinto ezixabisekileyo, bashiya abahlolokazi abaninzi phakathi kwalo. ²⁶Ababingeleli balo bawaphule umthetho wam, bazihlambela izinto zam ezingcwele; abohlulanga phakathi kokungcwele nokuhlambelayo, abafundisanga mahluko phakathi kwenqambi nohlambulukileyo, bawafihla amehlo abo kwiisabatha zam, ndahlambeleka ke phakathi kwabo. ²⁷Abathetheli balo baziingcuka eziqwengayo ixhoba, bephalaza igazi, betshabalalisa imiphefumlo ngenxa yenzuzo embi. ²⁸Abaprofeti balo bakucabalaza oku ngemibono yobuxoki nangamatola obuxoki, besithi: Itsho iNkosi uThixo ukuthi, logama uBawo wethu engathethanga. ²⁹Abantu belizwe benza ubuxhwilikazi nokuphanga; bamxina olusizana nolihlwempu, bamphatha ngobugqwetha owasemzini.

³⁰Ndafuna phakathi kwabo umntu wokuwakha udonga, eme phambi kwam ethubeni ngenxa yelizwe, ukuze ndingalitshabalalisi—kodwa andafumana namnye. ³¹Ngako oko ndaliphalaza iqumbo lam phezu kwabo, ndibagqibe ngomlilo womsindo wam. Ndayihlisela indlela yabo phezu kweentloko zabo, itsho iNkosi uBawo.
