Koda Kube Nini Na, Bawo?
Umprofeti uphikisana ngenyaniso noBawo wakhe ngokuba kutheni ububi bungohlwaywa—aze asuke ekukhalazeni aye kwesinye sezibhengezo ezinesibindi kunene zokukholosa esibhalweni.
1 1Isiprofeto awasibonayo uHabhakuki umprofeti. 2Koda kube nini na, Bawo, ndikhala ndicela uncedo, ungaphulaphuli? Ndikhala kuwe, ndisithi: “Gonyamelo!” kodwa wena akusindisi.
Ugonyamelo Macala Onke
3Yini na ukuba undenze ndikhangele ububi obungaka, uthi gxelesha nje ngexa kwenziwa okungalungileyo? Intshabalalo nogonyamelo ziphambi kwam; kuvela iinkani, kuthi saa ukulwa macala onke. 4Ngoko ke umyalelo udodobele, nobulungisa abuze benziwe. Kuba abangendawo bawurhawule olilungisa; ngoko ubulungisa buphuma bugqwethekile.
Khangela Into Endiyenzayo
5“Khangelani phakathi kweentlanga, nibone—nithi manga ngokumangaliswa! Kuba ndenza umsebenzi ngemihla yenu eningayi kukholwa, xa benithe naxelelwa. 6Kuba yabonani—ndivelisa amaKaledi, olo hlanga lukrakra nolungxamileyo, oluhamba lunqumla ububanzi behlabathi, luze luhluthe izindlu ezingezizo ezalo. 7Loyikeka lusothusa; ubulungisa balo nokuphakama kwalo kuphuma kulo lodwa. 8Amahashe alo anamendu ngaphezu kweengwe, akhaliphile ngaphezu kweengcuka zokuhlwa. Abamahashe balo bagidima phambili; abamahashe balo bavela kude, bebhabha njengexhalanga elikhawulezela ukudla. 9Bonke beza ngenxa yogonyamelo, bonke ubuso busingisa phambili; babuthelela abathinjwa njengentlabathi. 10Bagxeka ookumkani, nezikhulu ziyinto yokuhlekwa kubo. Bahleka zonke iinqaba; bafumba imfumba yomhlaba baziwise. 11Baze bagqithe njengomoya, badlule— ngamadoda anetyala, amandla awo kukuthixo kwawo.”
Akuveli Kwasephakadeni Na?
12Akuveli kwasephakadeni na, Bawo, wena oyiNgcwele yam? Asiyi kufa. Bawo, ubamisele umgwebo; Liwa lam, ubazinzisile ngenxa yokohlwaya. a a v12 ILiwa lelinye lamagama okuqala obungqubo awubiza ngawo uBawo wethu kwiTestamente Endala — liqinile, lingashukumi, linyanisekile emnqophisweni. UHabhakuki ujikela eLiweni ngenxa yesiqinisekiso, nangoxa umgwebo usihla. 13Amehlo akho ahlambuluke kakhulu ukuba angabukela ububi, awunako nokukhangela okungalungileyo. Kuthini na ke ukuba ubukele abanginizelayo, uthi tu xa ongendawo emginya lowo ulilungisa ngaphezu kwakhe? 14Wena wabenza abantu banjengeentlanzi zolwandle, njengezinambuzane ezingenamphathi. 15Ubanyusa bonke ngentloba; ubarhuqa ngomnatha wakhe; ubabuthela kumnatha wakhe wokuhudula, ngoko avuye achwayite. 16Ngenxa yoko ubingelela kumnatha wakhe, aqhumisele kumnatha wakhe wokuhudula; kuba ngawo utyeba, ukudla kwakhe kube kuninzi. 17Uya kuhlala ewuchitha na ke umnatha wakhe, ebulala iintlanga engenanceba ngonaphakade?
