26 ¹Ngomnyaka weshumi elinanye, ngolokuqala enyangeni, lafika kum ilizwi likaBawo wethu, lisithi:

²Nyana womntu, ngenxa yokuba iTire ithe ngeYerusalem: Tshotsho! Isango lezizwe laphukile, livulekele mna; isingamanxuwa, ndiya kutyeba. ³Ngoko itsho iNkosi uBawo wethu ukuthi: Nazo ndikuchasene nawe, Tire. Ndiya kunenyusela iintlanga ezininzi, njengolwandle olunyusa amaza alo. ⁴Ziya kuzidiliza iindonga zeTire, ziyigungxule imiboniselo yayo; ndiwuphalise umhlaba wayo, ndiyenze ibe liliwa elize. ⁵Iya kuba yindawo yokwaneka iminatha elwandle, kuba ndithethile, itsho iNkosi uBawo wethu. Iya kuba ngamaxhoba eentlanga, ⁶neentombi zayo ezisezweni zibulawe likrele. Baya kwandula ke bazi ukuba ndinguBawo wethu.

⁷Itsho iNkosi uBawo wethu ukuthi: Nazo ndiza kuzisa uNebhukadenetsare, ukumkani waseBhabhilon, ukumkani wookumkani, ngasentla ukuba achasene neTire, enamahashe, neenqwelo zokulwa, nabamahashe, nebandla, nomkhosi omkhulu wabantu abaninzi. ⁸Uya kuzibulala likrele iintombi zakho ezisezweni, akwenzele udonga lokungqinga, akufumbele imfumba, aphakamise amakhaka kuwe. ⁹Uya kuzibetha iindonga zakho ngezixhobo zakhe zokungqinga, ayidilize imiboniselo yakho ngamazembe akhe. ¹⁰Amahashe akhe aya kuba maninzi aze uthuli lwawo lukugubungele. Ziya kungcangcazela iindonga zakho ngenxa yesandi sabamahashe, neenqwelo, neenqwelo zokulwa, xa engena emasangweni akho njengokuba abantu bengena emzini oneendonga ezivulekileyo. ¹¹Amanqina amahashe akhe aya kuzinyathela zonke izitrato zakho. Uya kubulala abantu bakho likrele, neentsika zakho ezomeleleyo ziya kuwela emhlabeni. ¹²Baya kubuphanga ubutyebi bakho, baphange impahla yakho, bazidilize iindonga zakho, bazitshabalalise izindlu zakho ezintle, baphose amatye akho, nemithi yakho, nothuli lwakho elwandle. ¹³Ndiya kusithulisa isandi seengoma zakho; nohadi lwakho aluyi kuphinda luviwe. ¹⁴Ndiya kukwenza ube liliwa elize, indawo yokwaneka iminatha. Akuyi kuphinda wakhiwe, kuba mna, Bawo wethu, ndithethile, itsho iNkosi uBawo wethu.

¹⁵Itsho iNkosi uBawo wethu ukuthi kwiTire: Aziyi kungcangcazela na iziqithi ngenxa yesandi sokuwa kwakho, xa bencwina abenzakeleyo, xa uxabelo luzele kuwe? ¹⁶Zaya kwandula ke zonke izikhulu zolwandle zehle ezitroneni zazo, ziyekele iingubo zazo, zizikhulule izambatho zazo ezimfakamfele. Zambatha ukungcangcazela, zihlale phantsi emhlabeni, zinkwantye imizuzwana yonke, zimangaliswe nguwe. ¹⁷Ziya kukwenzela isimbonono zithi: Hayi, indlela owabhanga ngayo, wena mzi udumileyo, wena owawumiwe ngabavela ezilwandleni—onamandla elwandle, wena nabemi bakho, enababeka uqhiphulo-mbilini phezu kwabo bonke abahlala apho! ^a a v17 ITire yayisisixeko sesiqithi esisisityebi, amandla nenani labemi balo lalisekelwe kurhwebo lwaselwandle. ¹⁸Ngoku ziyangcangcazela iziqithi ngemini yokuwa kwakho; iziqithi ezisolwandle zimangaliswe kukumka kwakho.

¹⁹Itsho iNkosi uBawo wethu ukuthi: Xa ndikwenza umzi osenkangala, njengemizi eyashiywa kudala, xa ndinyusa enzonzobileni phezu kwakho, amanzi amakhulu akugubungele, ²⁰ndiya kwandula ke ndikuthobele kunye nabehlela emhadini, kubantu bakwamandulo. Ndiya kukumisa ezweni elingaphantsi, phakathi kwamanxuwa amandulo, kunye nabehlela emhadini, ukuze ungabuyi, ungabi nandawo ezweni labaphilayo. ²¹Ndiya kukufikisa kwisiphelo esoyikekayo, ungabi sabakho. Uya kufunwa, kodwa ungabi saphinda ufunyanwe, itsho iNkosi uBawo wethu.
