28 ¹Lafika kum ilizwi likaBawo wethu, lisithi:

²“Nyana womntu, xelela uMlawuli waseTire, uthi: ‘Itsho iNkosi enguBawo wethu ukuthi: Ngenxa yokuba intliziyo yakho iphakeme, usithi: “Ndinguthixo; ndihleli esihlalweni soothixo, embilinini yeelwandle”—kodwa ungumntu, akunguthixo, nangona uyenza intliziyo yakho ibe njengentliziyo kaThixo. ^a a v2 UMlawuli waseTire uzibanga oko kukokukaThixo kuphela—kwayo loo buxoki bokuqala obasebezelwa e-Eden, obokuba “niya kuba njengoThixo.” UBawo wethu akaze athethe ngaye ngandlela yimbi ngaphandle kokuba ungumntu. ³Ulumkile ngaphezu koDaniyeli; akukho mfihlelo ifihlakeleyo kuwe. ⁴Ngobulumko nangengqondo yakho uzizuzele ubutyebi, wahlanganisa igolide nesilivere koovimba bakho. ⁵Ngobungcibi bakho obukhulu ekurhwebeni ubwandisile ubutyebi bakho, yaza yaphakama intliziyo yakho ngenxa yabo. ⁶Ngako oko itsho iNkosi enguBawo wethu ukuthi: “Ngenxa yokuba uyenza intliziyo yakho ibe njengentliziyo kaThixo, ⁷ngenxa yoko ndiza kukuzisela abasemzini, abona bakhohlakeleyo kweentlanga; baya kurhola amakrele abo bachase ubuhle bobulumko bakho, babungcolise ubungangamela bakho. ⁸Baya kukuhlisela emhadini, uze ufe ukufa kogonyamelo embilinini yeelwandle.’ ⁹Usaya kuthi na: ‘Ndinguthixo,’ phambi kwalowo ukubulalayo? Uya kuba ngumntu nje, ungebi nguthixo, ezandleni zabo bakwenzakalisayo. ¹⁰Uya kufa ukufa kwabangalukileyo, ngesandla sabasemzini; kuba ndithethile, itsho iNkosi enguBawo wethu.’” ^b b v10 ‘Ukufa ukufa kwabangalukileyo’ kwakuthetha ukufa ngehlazo, ungenawo umbeko womnqophiso—uphathwe njengowasemzini ngokupheleleyo.

¹¹Lafika kum ilizwi likaBawo wethu, lisithi:

¹²“Nyana womntu, phakamisa isimbonono ngokumkani waseTire, uthi kuye: ‘Itsho iNkosi enguBawo wethu ukuthi: Wena wawungumsesane wokutywina wokugqibelela, uzele bubulumko, ugqibelele ngobuhle. ¹³Wawuse-Eden, emyezweni kaBawo wethu; onke amatye anqabileyo ayekuhombisa: irubhi, netopazi, nesmarado, nebherilo, nebengo, neyaspisi, nesafire, nekalikedo, nebherilo. Iindawo zakho ozifakwe kuzo nezizibo zakho zaziyilwe ngegolide; ngomhla owadalwa ngawo zalungiswa. ¹⁴Wawuyikerubhi yomgcini ethanjisiweyo, kuba ndakumisa njalo; wawusentabeni engcwele kaBawo wethu, uhamba phakathi kwamatye omlilo. ^c c v14 Esi simbonono sifikelela ngaphaya kokumkani waseTire, siye kwimvukeli enekratshi eyakha yema ebusweni bukaBawo wethu, inozuko inokuthenjwa—yaza yazikhethela yona ngaphezu koMenzi wayo. Ayaliwanga uBawo, isuke yajika kuye. ¹⁵Wawugqibelele ezindleleni zakho, ethabathela kumhla owadalwa ngawo, kwada kwafunyanwa inkohlakalo kuwe. ¹⁶Ngenxa yokurhweba kwakho okuninzi wazaliswa ngugonyamelo, wona. Ngako oko ndakukhuphela ngaphandle njengento engcolileyo entabeni kaBawo wethu, ndakugxotha, wena kerubhi yomgcini, phakathi kwamatye omlilo. ¹⁷Yaphakama intliziyo yakho ngenxa yobuhle bakho; wabonakalisa ubulumko bakho ngenxa yobungangamela bakho. Ngako oko ndakuphosa emhlabeni; ndakwenza umboniso phambi kookumkani. ¹⁸Ngezono zakho ezininzi nangokurhweba kwakho okungathembekanga wazingcolisa iingcwele zakho. Ngako oko ndakhuphela umlilo ovela phakathi kwakho, waza wakudla; ndakwenza waluthuthu emhlabeni phambi kwamehlo abo bonke abakubukeleyo. ¹⁹Iintlanga zonke ebezikwazi zimangaliswe nguwe; ufikelele esiphelweni esoyikekayo, ungabi sabakho naphakade.’”

UBawo wethu uyigweba iTsidon

²⁰Lafika kum ilizwi likaBawo wethu, lisithi:

²¹“Nyana womntu, jika ubhekise ubuso bakho eTsidon, uprofete ngayo, ²²uthi: ‘Itsho iNkosi uBawo wethu ukuthi: Ndikuchasene nawe, Tsidon, ndiya kuzukiswa phakathi kwakho. Baya kwazi ukuba ndinguBawo, xa ndisenza izigwebo kuyo, ndizingcwalise kuyo.

²³“Ndothumela isibetho kuyo, negazi ezitratweni zayo; ababuleweyo baya kuwa phakathi kwayo, likrele elichasene nayo ngeenxa zonke. Baya kwandula bazi ukuba ndinguBawo.

²⁴“Kananjalo endlwini kaSirayeli akusayi kubakho liva elihlabayo, nameva abuhlungu, aphuma kubo bonke abamelwane ababebadelela. Baya kwandula bazi ukuba ndiyiNkosi uBawo wethu.’”

UBawo wethu ubuthela ekhaya amaSirayeli

²⁵Itsho iNkosi uBawo wethu ukuthi: “Xa ndibutha indlu kaSirayeli ezizweni ababechithachithwe kuzo, ndizingcwalise ngabo phambi kweentlanga, baya kuhlala ezweni labo, endalinika umkhonzi wam uYakobi. ²⁶Baya kuhlala khona bekholosile, besakha izindlu, betyala izidiliya. Baya kuhlala bekhuselekile xa ndithe ndagweba bonke abamelwane babo ababebadelela. Baya kwandula bazi ukuba ndinguBawo wabo.”’
