33 ¹Lafika kum ilizwi likaBawo wethu, lisithi:

²“Nyana woluntu, thetha kubantu bakowenu, uthi kubo: Xa ndithe ndazisa ikrele phezu kwelizwe, bathabatha indoda enye phakathi kwabo abantu balo, bayenze umlindi wabo, ³ithi yona yakulibona ikrele lisiza phezu kwelo zwe, ivuthele isigodlo ukuba iqwabalalise abantu, ⁴ithi ke ukuba ubani uyasiva isigodlo, kodwa aluphulaphule uqwabalaliso, lize ikrele limthabathe, igazi lakhe liya kuba phezu kwentloko yakhe. ⁵Usivile isigodlo, akaluphulaphula uqwabalaliso; igazi lakhe liya kuba phezu kwakhe. Ngewuthabathile uqwabalaliso, ngewusindisile umphefumlo wakhe. ⁶Kodwa ukuba umlindi uthe walibona ikrele lisiza, aze angavutheli isigodlo, baze abantu bangaqwabalaliswa, lize ikrele lithabathe omnye kubo, lowo ufa ngenxa yobugwenxa bakhe, kodwa igazi lakhe ndolibiza esandleni somlindi.

⁷“Wena, nyana woluntu, ndikwenze umlindi wendlu kaSirayeli. Xa uthe weva ilizwi liphuma emlonyeni wam, baqwabalalise ndim.” ⁸Xa ndithi kongendawo: “Wena wongendawo, uya kufa ngokufa,” uze ungathethi ukuba umqwabalalise ukuba abuye endleleni yakhe, uya kufa yena ngenxa yobugwenxa bakhe, kodwa igazi lakhe ndoliphatha esandleni sakho. ⁹Kodwa ukuba uthe wamqwabalalisa ongendawo ukuba abuye endleleni yakhe, aze angabuyi kuyo, uya kufa yena ngenxa yesono sakhe; wena uwusindisile umphefumlo wakho.

Buyani, Niphile

¹⁰“Wena ke, nyana woluntu, yithi kwindlu kaSirayeli: Nitsho ukuthi: ‘Ubugwenxa bethu nezono zethu ziphezu kwethu, size sibole ngazo. Singathini na ukuphila?’ ¹¹Yithi kubo: Ndihleli nje mna, utsho iNkosi uBawo wethu, andinanze kufa kwongendawo, ndinanza ukuba ongendawo abuye endleleni yakhe, aphile. Buyani, buyani ezindleleni zenu ezimbi! Nifuna ukufelani na, nina ndlu kaSirayeli?

¹²“Wena ke, nyana woluntu, yithi kubantu bakowenu: Ubulungisa bendoda elilungisa abuyi kuyisindisa ngemini elukreqa ngayo, nobubi bendoda engendawo abuyi kuyikhubekisa ngemini ebuya ngayo kubo; ilungisa alinakuphila ngobulungisa balo ngemini elona ngayo. ¹³Ukuba ndithi kwilungisa: ‘Uya kuphila ngokuphila,’ lize likholose ngobulungisa balo, lenze ubugwenxa, akukho nanye kwimisebenzi yalo yobulungisa eya kukhunjulwa; lifa ngenxa yobugwenxa obenzileyo. ¹⁴Ukuba ndithi kongendawo: ‘Uya kufa ngokufa,’ aze abuye esonweni sakhe, enze okusesikweni nokululungileyo, ¹⁵ukuba ongendawo uthe wabuyisa isibambiso, wabuyekeza oko akwebayo, walandela imimiselo yobomi, engenzi bugwenxa—uya kuphila ngokuphila; akayi kufa. ¹⁶Akukho nasinye isono asenzileyo esiya kukhunjulwa ngakuye. Wenze okusesikweni nokululungileyo; uya kuphila ngokuphila.

¹⁷“Bathi abantu bakowenu: ‘Indlela yeNkosi uBawo wethu ayilunganga’—kanti yindlela yabo engalunganga. ¹⁸Xa ilungisa libuya ebulungiseni balo, lenze ubugwenxa, liya kufa ngenxa yabo. ¹⁹Xa ongendawo abuya ebubini bakhe, enze okusesikweni nokululungileyo, uya kuphila ngenxa yako. ²⁰Kanti nina nithi: ‘Indlela yeNkosi uBawo wethu ayikho sikweni.’ Ndiya kugweba elowo kuni ngokweendlela zakhe, nina ndlu kaSirayeli.”

IYerusalem Iwile

²¹Ngomnyaka weshumi elinazibini wokuthinjwa kwethu, ngenyanga yeshumi, ngosuku lwesihlanu, kwafika kum obalekileyo evela eYerusalem, wathi: “Uwe umzi.” ²²Isandla sikaBawo wethu sasiphezu kwam ngokuhlwa phambi kokufika kobalekileyo, waza uBawo wethu wawuvula umlomo wam ngaphambi kokuba afike kum loo mntu kusasa. Wavulwa umlomo wam, andaba saba sithe cwaka.

²³Lafika ke kum ilizwi likaBawo wethu, lisithi:

²⁴Nyana woluntu, abo bahleli kula manxuwa elizweni lakwaSirayeli bahlala besithi: “UAbraham wayeyindoda enye kuphela, kanti walidla ilifa ilizwe; thina sibaninzi—inene silinikiwe ilizwe ukuba libe lilifa lethu.” ²⁵Ngoko yithi kubo: Itsho iNkosi uBawo wethu: Niyayidla inyama inegazi, niwaphakamisele amehlo enu kwizithixo zenu, niphalaze igazi—nanga nilidla ilifa ilizwe? ²⁶Nikholosile ngamakrele enu, nenze amasikizi, elowo kuni akrexeze umfazi wommelwane wakhe—nanga ke nilidla ilifa ilizwe?

²⁷Yithi kubo: Itsho iNkosi uBawo wethu ukuthi: “Ndihleli nje mna, abasemanxuweni baya kuwa likrele, abasendle evulekileyo ndiya kubanikela ezinyamakazini ukuba zibadle, abo basezimboniselweni nasemiqolombeni baya kufa sisibetho. ²⁸Ndiya kulenza ilizwe libe senkangala, libe ngumwewe; liya kuphela iqhayiya lamandla alo; iintaba zakwaSirayeli ziya kuba senkangala, kungabikho bani uzidlulayo. ²⁹Baya kwandula ukwazi ukuba ndinguBawo wabo, xa ndithe ndalenza ilizwe laba senkangala, laba ngumwewe, ngenxa yawo onke amasikizi ababenzileyo.”

³⁰Wena, nyana woluntu: abantu bakowenu bathetha ngawe ngasezindongeni nasezingcangweni zezindlu, omnye nomnye, elowo nomnakwenu: “Yizani kaloku, nive ukuba lithini ilizwi eliphuma kuBawo wethu. ³¹Bafika kuwe njengoko besenza abantu, bahlale phambi kwakho njengabantu bam, beve amazwi akho—kodwa abawenzi. Kuba ngemilomo yabo bathetha uthando, kanti iintliziyo zabo zilandela inzuzo yabo. ³²Yabona, kuwe banjengengoma yothando, enelizwi elihle, ebethwa kakuhle; bayawava amazwi akho, kodwa abawenzi. ³³Xa kuthe kwenzeka—kanye kuya kwenzeka—baya kwazi ukuba kwakukho umprofeti phakathi kwabo.”
