36 ¹Wena, nyana womntu, profetela iintaba zakwaSirayeli, uthi kuzo: Nina zintaba zakwaSirayeli, phulaphulani ilizwi likaBawo wethu. ²Utsho uBawo oyiNkosi ukuthi: Ngokuba utshaba luthe ngani: “Hayi! Imimango yamandulo ngoku ngeyethu,” ³ngenxa yoko profeta uthi: Utsho uBawo oyiNkosi ukuthi: Ngokuba benenze kwaba senkangala, baninyathela ngeenxa zonke, naza naba yindawo yeentlanga eziseleyo, nanginto eqhutyelwa ngabantu bethetha intlebendwane nokunihleba,

⁴ngenxa yoko, zintaba zakwaSirayeli, liveni ilizwi likaBawo oyiNkosi. Utsho uBawo oyiNkosi ezintabeni nasezindulini, kwizibhaxa nasezintilini, kumanxuwa asenkangala nakwimizi eshiyiweyo eyaba ngamaxhoba nento yentsini kweentlanga eziseleyo ngeenxa zonke:

⁵ngenxa yoko utsho uBawo oyiNkosi ukuthi: Ngomsindo wobukhwele bam ndithethile ngeentlanga eziseleyo nangoEdom bonke, abathi ngovuyo lwentliziyo iphela nangendelo epheleleyo balibanga ilizwe lam ukuba ngelabo, ukuze baphange idlelo lalo. ⁶Ngoko ke profeta ngelizwe lakwaSirayeli, uthi ezintabeni nasezindulini, kwizibhaxa nasezintilini: Utsho uBawo oyiNkosi ukuthi: Ndithethile ngobukhwele bam nangomsindo wam, ngokuba nithwele ukungcikivwa kweentlanga. ⁷Ngoko ke utsho uBawo oyiNkosi ukuthi: Ndiwuphakamisile isandla sam ngesifungo—iintlanga ezinirhangqileyo ziya kuthwala ngokwazo ukungcikivwa kwazo.

⁸Ke nina, zintaba zakwaSirayeli, niya kuhluma amasebe, nivelise iziqhamo zabantu bam amaSirayeli, kuba sekukufuphi ukuba babuyele ekhaya. ⁹Kuba ndinani; ndiya kubheka kuni, nize nilinywe, nihlwayelwe. ¹⁰Ndiya kunandisela abantu abaninzi, indlu kaSirayeli iphela yonke. Imizi iya kuba nabemi, namanxuwa akhiwe kwakhona. ¹¹Ndiya kwandisa abantu neenkomo phezu kwenu; bande, baqhame. Ndiya kunihlalisa njengakwimihla yamandulo, ndinenzele okulungileyo ngaphezu kunokuqala. Nazi ke ukuba ndinguBawo wenu. ¹²Ndiya kuhambisa abantu phezu kwenu—abantwana bam amaSirayeli; baya kunidla, nibe lilifa labo, aniyi kubuya nibenze bangabi namntwana.

¹³Utsho uBawo oyiNkosi ukuthi: Ngokuba besithi kuni: “Niyabadla abantu, nohlutha uhlanga lwenu abantwana,” ¹⁴ngenxa yoko aniyi kubuya nidle abantu, nilenze uhlanga lwenu libe lingenabantwana, utsho uBawo oyiNkosi. ¹⁵Andiyi kuphinda ndinivise ukungcikivwa kweentlanga; aniyi kubuya nikuthwale ukungcikivwa kwabantu, nilenze uhlanga lwenu likhubeke, utsho uBawo oyiNkosi.

¹⁶Lafika kum ilizwi likaBawo wethu, lisithi:

¹⁷“Nyana womntu, xa indlu kaSirayeli yayihleli ezweni layo, bayenza inqambi ngeendlela zabo nezenzo zabo. Indlela yabo phambi kwam yayinjengobunqambi bokungcola komfazi. ¹⁸Ngako oko ndawuthulula umsindo wam phezu kwabo ngenxa yegazi abaliphalazayo ezweni, nangokuba bawenza inqambi umhlaba ngezithixo zabo. ¹⁹Ndabachithachitha phakathi kweentlanga, basasazeka emazweni; ndabagweba ngokweendlela zabo nangokwezenzo zabo. ²⁰Kodwa phakathi kweentlanga abaya kuzo, balihlambela igama lam elingcwele, ekubeni kwathiwa ngabo: ‘Ngaba bantu bakaNdikhoyo, kodwa belishiyile ilizwe lakhe.’ ²¹Kodwa mna ndalikhathalela igama lam elingcwele, ababelihlambela abantu bakwaSirayeli phakathi kweentlanga abaya kuzo.”

²²Ngoko ke yixelele indlu kaSirayeli: Utsho uBawo oyiNkosi ukuthi: “Andenzi oku ngenxa yenu, ndlu kaSirayeli, kodwa ngenxa yegama lam elingcwele, enilihlambeleyo phakathi kweentlanga, ebe niye kuzo. ²³Ndiya kulingcwalisa igama lam elikhulu—elahlanjelwayo phakathi kweentlanga, enilihlambeleyo phakathi kwazo. Ziya kwandula ke iintlanga zazi ukuba ndinguBawo, utsho uBawo oyiNkosi, xa ndizingcwalisa ngani phambi kwamehlo azo.

²⁴“Ndiya kunithabatha ezintlangeni, ndinihlanganise emazweni onke, ndinise ezweni lenu. ²⁵Ndiya kunifefa ngamanzi acocekileyo, nibe nicocekile; ndiya kunihlambulula kubo bonke ubunqambi benu nakuzo zonke izithixo zenu. ²⁶Ndiya kuninika intliziyo entsha, nomoya omtsha ngaphakathi kwenu. Ndiya kuyisusa intliziyo yelitye enyameni yenu, ndininike intliziyo yenyama. ²⁷Ndiya kuwubeka uMoya wam phakathi kwenu, ndenze ukuba nilandele imimiselo yam; niya kuwagcina amasiko am, niwenze. ²⁸Niya kuhlala ezweni endalinika ooyihlo; niya kuba ngabantwana bam, nam ndibe nguBawo wenu. ²⁹Ndiya kunisindisa kubo bonke ubunqambi benu. Ndiya kuyibiza ingqolowa, ndiyandise, ndingazisi ndlala phezu kwenu. ³⁰Ndiya kwandisa iziqhamo zemithi nemveliso yentsimi, ukuze ningabuyi nikuve ukungcikivwa kwendlala phakathi kweentlanga.

³¹“Nize ke nikhumbule iindlela zenu ezimbi nezenzo zenu ezazingalunganga, nizicekise ngenxa yezono zenu nezinto zenu ezilizothe.” ³²Oku andikwenzeli nina, utsho uBawo oyiNkosi—yazini loo nto. Danani, nihlazeke ngenxa yeendlela zenu, nina ndlu kaSirayeli.

³³Utsho uBawo oyiNkosi ukuthi: “Mini ndithe ndanihlambulula kuzo zonke izono zenu, ndiya kuyihlalisa kwakhona imizi, ndakhe amanxuwa. ³⁴Ilizwe elisenkangala liya kulinywa, endaweni yokuba libe senkangala phambi kwabo bonke abadlulayo. ³⁵Baya kuthi: ‘Eli lizwe belisenkangala ngoku selifana nomyezo we-Eden; imizi ebingamanxuwa, isenkangala, idilikile, ngoku inqatyisiwe, inabemi.’ ³⁶Zaza ke iintlanga eziseleyo ngeenxa zonke kuni zi kwazi ukuba mna, Bawo, ndiyakhile le nto ibidiliziwe, ndaphinda ndatyala kwakhona kwelo laba senkangala. Mna, Bawo wenu, ndithethile, ndiya kukwenza.”

³⁷Utsho uBawo oyiNkosi ukuthi: “Nale nto ndiya kuvumela indlu kaSirayeli ukuba icele ukuba ndibenzele yona: ndiya kubandisa abantu babo njengomhlambi. ³⁸Njengomhlambi weminikelo, njengomhlambi waseYerusalem ngamaxesha ayo amisiweyo, ngokunjalo imizi ebingamanxuwa iya kuzala yimihlambi yabantu. Baya kwandula ke bazi ukuba ndinguBawo wenu.”
