9 ¹Wadanduluka ke ngezwi elikhulu ezindlebeni zam, wathi: “Sondelani, baveleli bomzi, elowo ephethe isixhobo sakhe sokutshabalalisa esandleni.”

²Kweza amadoda amathandathu evela esangweni eliphezulu elikhangelene nangasentla, elowo ephethe isixhobo esibulalayo esandleni; phakathi kwawo yayikhona indoda eyambethe ilinen, inesikhwama sokubhala ecaleni layo. Eza ke ema ecaleni kwesibingelelo sobhedu.

³Lwaza lwenyuka uzuko lukaBawo wethu, lusuka phezu kwekerubhi apho belukhe lwaphumla khona, lwaya embundwini wendlu. Waza wabiza indoda eyayambethe ilinen, enesikhwama sokubhala ecaleni layo.

⁴Wathi uBawo wethu kuye: “Canda phakathi komzi waseYerusalem, ubeke uphawu emabunzini abo bancwinayo bebubula ngenxa yamasikizi onke enziwayo apho.” ^a a v4 Abo baphawulwe ukuze basinde ngabo iintliziyo zabo zaphukayo ngenxa yesono esibangqongileyo — uBawo wethu uyabasindisa, aze abatywine abantwana abakhathazwa koko kumkhathazayo.

⁵Kwabanye wathi ezindlebeni zam: “Candani phakathi komzi nimlandele, nixabele. Maze amehlo enu angabi nanceba, ningacongi. ⁶Amaxhego, amadodana, iintombi, abantwana, nabafazi—babulale bonke. Kodwa ningamchukumisi namnye onophawu. Qalani engcweleni yam.” Baqala ke ngamadoda amakhulu awayephambi kwendlu.

⁷Waza wathi kubo: “Yenzani indlu ibe yinqambi, nizalise intendelezo ngabafileyo. Phumani!” Baphuma ke, babulala abantu emzini.

⁸Besaxabela, ndasala ndedwa. Ndawa ngobuso, ndakhala ndathi: “Owu, Nkosi Bawo! Uya kuwatshabalalisa onke amasalela akwaSirayeli ngokuthulula kwakho ingqumbo yakho phezu kweYerusalem na?”

⁹Waza wathi kum: “Ityala lendlu kaSirayeli nelakwaYuda likhulu kakhulu. Ilizwe lizele ligazi, umzi uzele yintswela-bulungisa, kuba besithi: ‘UThixo ulishiyile ilizwe; uThixo akaboni.’ ¹⁰Mna ke, andiyi kuba nanceba kubo, ndingacongi. Ndoyibeka indlela yabo phezu kweentloko zabo.”

¹¹Yaza indoda eyayambethe ilinen, enesikhwama sokubhala ecaleni layo, yabuya yaxela isithi: “Ndenzile njengoko undiwisele umthetho.”
