37 ¹Safika kum isandla sikaBawo wethu. Wandikhupha ngoMoya kaBawo wethu, wandibeka esazulwini sentlambo—yayizele ngamathambo. ²Wandihambisa ecaleni kwawo ngeenxa zonke—maninzi kakhulu phantsi apho entlambeni, omile kunene.

³Wathi kum: “Nyana woluntu, angaphila na la mathambo?” Ndathi: “Nkosi Bawo, wena uyazi.”

⁴Wandula ke wathi kum: “Profeta phezu kwala mathambo, uthi: Mathambo omileyo, liveni ilizwi likaBawo wethu. ⁵Itsho iNkosi uBawo wethu kula mathambo ukuthi: Ndiza nomoya kuni, niya kuphila. ⁶Ndiya kuthi jize ngemisipha phezu kwenu, ndinyuse inyama kuni, ndinigubungele ngesikhumba, ndibeke umoya kuni, niphile. Nothi ke nazi ukuba ndinguBawo wenu.”

⁷Ndaprofeta ke njengoko ndandiyalelwe. Ndithe ndisaprofeta, kwabakho isandi—ukukhenkceza—aza asondelelana amathambo, ithambo nethambo lalo. ⁸Ndakhangela: imisipha iphezu kwawo, inyama inyukile kuwo, isikhumba siwagubungela ngaphezulu—kodwa kungekho moya kuwo.

⁹Wathi kum: “Profeta kumoya; profeta, nyana woluntu, uthi kuwo umoya: Itsho iNkosi uBawo wethu ukuthi: Yiza, moya, uphume kwimimoya emine, uphefumlele kwaba babulewe, baphile.” ^a a v9 Ilizwi elinye kweli linye lithetha umoya wokuphefumla, nomoya ovuthuzayo, noMoya; ngoko ke libiza imimoya emine, nomoya wobomi obizelwa kwabafileyo, noMoya uBawo wethu awuthululayo kwivesi 14.

¹⁰Ndaprofeta ke njengoko wayendiyalele, waza umoya wangena kuwo, aba nobomi ema ngeenyawo zawo—umkhosi omkhulu, omkhulu kakhulu.

¹¹Wathi kum: “Nyana woluntu, la mathambo yiyo yonke indlu kaSirayeli. Bathi: ‘Omile amathambo ethu, lithe shwaka ithemba lethu; sinqanyulwe kuphele.’ ¹²Ngoko profeta, uthi kubo: Itsho iNkosi uBawo wethu ukuthi: Ndiya kuwavula amangcwaba enu, ndininyuse kuwo amangcwaba enu, bantwana bam, ndinise ezweni lakwaSirayeli. ¹³Nothi ke nazi ukuba ndinguBawo wenu, xa ndiwavulayo amangcwaba enu, ndininyusa kuwo amangcwaba enu, bantwana bam. ¹⁴Ndibeke uMoya wam kuni, niphile, ndinihlalise emhlabeni wenu. Nothi ke nazi ukuba mna, uBawo wenu, nditshilo ndenza, utsho uBawo wethu.”

UBawo wethu Umanya Kwakhona Abantwana Bakhe Abahlukeneyo

¹⁵Lafika kum kwakhona ilizwi likaBawo wethu, lisithi:

¹⁶“Wena ke, nyana woluntu, thabatha uluthi lube lunye, ubhale kulo, uthi: ‘OlukaYuda noonyana bakaSirayeli, abalingane bakhe.’ Wandule uthabathe olunye uluthi, ubhale kulo, uthi: ‘OlukaYosefu—uluthi lukaEfrayim—nayo yonke indlu kaSirayeli, abalingane bakhe.’ ¹⁷Uze uzihlanganise zibe luluthi lube lunye, ukuze zibe lunye esandleni sakho.’

¹⁸“Kothi xa abantu bakowenu bekubuza, besithi: ‘Zithetha ntoni na ezi zinto?’ ¹⁹uthi kubo, Itsho iNkosi uBawo wethu ukuthi: Ndithabatha uluthi lukaYosefu, oluphantsi kwesandla sikaEfrayim, kunye nezizwe zakwaSirayeli ezihlanganiswe naye, ndilongeze eluthini lukaYuda, ndizenze uluthi lube lunye, zibe lunye esandleni sam. ²⁰Zibambe esandleni sakho izinti ozibhaleleyo, phambi kwamehlo abo. ²¹Wandule uthi kubo, Itsho iNkosi uBawo wethu ukuthi: ‘Ndithabatha oonyana bakaSirayeli phakathi kweentlanga abaye kuzo; ndiya kubabutha ngeenxa zonke, ndibazise emhlabeni wabo. ²²Ndiya kubenza uhlanga lube lunye emhlabeni, ezintabeni zakwaSirayeli, kube nokumkani abe mnye phezu kwabo bonke. Abasayi kuba sezizwe zibini, abasayi kuba saba ngamacala amabini ube zizikumkani ezibini. ²³Abasayi kuzenza iinqambi ngezithixo zabo, nangamasikizi abo, nangaziphi na izikreqo zabo. Ndiya kubasindisa kuzo zonke iindawo ababehlala kuzo besona, ndibahlambulule. Baya kuba ngabantwana bam, mna ndibe nguBawo wabo. ²⁴UDavide umkhonzi wam woba ngukumkani phezu kwabo; bonke boba nomalusi abe mnye. Baya kuwalandela amasiko am, bagcine amasiko am, bawenze. ²⁵Baya kuhlala ezweni endalinika umkhonzi wam uYakobi, apho babehleli khona ooyihlo. Bona, nabantwana babo, nabantwana babantwana babo, baya kuhlala khona ngonaphakade, noDavide umkhonzi wam woba ngumthetheli wabo ngonaphakade. ²⁶Ndiya kwenza umnqophiso woxolo nabo, umnqophiso ongunaphakade nabo. Ndiya kubahlalisa, ndibandise, ndimise ingcwele yam phakathi kwabo ngonaphakade. ²⁷Umnquba wam woba phezu kwabo; ndiya kuba nguBawo wabo, bona babe ngabantwana bam. ²⁸Zothi ke iintlanga zazi ukuba ndinguBawo wenu, ongcwalisa amaSirayeli, xa ingcwele yam iphakathi kwabo ngonaphakade.’”
