2 ¹Lafika kum ilizwi likaBawo wethu, lisithi:

²Hamba, uvakalise ezindlebeni zaseYerusalem: utsho uBawo wethu: Ndikhumbula ukuzinikela kobutsha bakho, uthando lwakho lomtshakazi, ukundilandela kwakho entlango, ezweni elingahlwayelwanga. ^a a v2 UBawo wethu uyalukhumbula ngothando uthando lokuqala lukaSirayeli, njengomyeni okhumbula umtshakazi wakhe—lona kanye uvelwano lomnqophiso analangazelela ukulubuyisa. ³USirayeli wayeyingcwele kuBawo wethu, intlahlela yesivuno sakhe. Bonke abamdlayo babenetyala; intlekele yabafikela, utsho uBawo wethu.

⁴Live ilizwi likaBawo wethu, ndlu kaYakobi, nani nonke zizwe zendlu kaSirayeli.

⁵Utsho oku uBawo wethu: Bugwenxa buni na oobawo benu abababufumana kum, le nto bada basuka kude kum, besukela izithixo ezingento, baza nabo baba ngabangento?

⁶Ababuzanga ukuthi: “Uphi na uBawo wethu, owasikhuphayo ezweni laseYiputa, owasikhokelayo entlango, ilizwe leentlango nemihadi, ilizwe lembalela nobumnyama obukhulu, ilizwe ekungadluli mntu kulo, nekungahlali mntu kulo?” ⁷Ndaza ndanizisa ezweni elichumayo ukuze nidle iziqhamo zalo nokulunga kwalo. Kodwa nafika nalingcolisa ilizwe lam, naza nalenza izothe ilifa lam. ⁸Ababingeleli ababuzanga ukuthi: “Uphi na uBawo wethu?” Abo baphatha umthetho abandazanga; abalusi bandivukela mna; abaprofeti baprofeta ngoBhahali, baza balandela okungento. ⁹Ngako oko ndisaphikisana nani, utsho uBawo wethu, ndophikisana noonyana boonyana benu. ¹⁰Welani emanxwemeni eSipro nikhangele; thumelani eKedare niqwalasele kakuhle; nibone ukuba ikhe yabakho na into enje: ¹¹Ikhe yaguqula na uhlanga oothixo balo, nangona bengengothixo nje? Kodwa abantu bam babananisela ubuqaqawuli babo ngento engento. ¹²Mangaliswani koku, mazulu; nkwantyani, nothuke kanobom, utsho uBawo wethu. ¹³Kuba abantu bam benze izinto ezimbini ezimbi: bandishiyile mna, umthombo wamanzi aphilileyo, baza bazimbela amaqula—amaqula aqhekekileyo angenakugcina manzi. ^b b v13 UBawo wethu uzibiza ngokuba ngumthombo wamanzi aphilileyo; uYesu kamva wanikela ngala manzi aphilileyo kwawona kubo bonke abeza kuye (uYohane 4:14; 7:38).

¹⁴USirayeli likhoboka na? Wazalelwa ebukhobokeni na? Kutheni ngoko aba lixhoba? ¹⁵Amathole eengonyama agquma kuye; abhavuma kakhulu. Alenza inkangala ilizwe lakhe; imizi yakhe itshisiwe, ingenamhlali. ¹⁶Ngaphezu koko, amadoda aseMemfis naseTahaphanesi akuchebile ukakayi lwentloko yakho. ^c c v16 Ukuchetyelwa okanye ukuhluthwa intloko kwakuluphawu lokoyiswa ngokupheleleyo nehlazo kwilizwe lamandulo. ¹⁷Akuziziselanga na oku wena ngokwakho ngokumshiya uBawo wakho, obekukhokela endleleni? ¹⁸Ngoku ke, uyelani na eYiputa ukuya kusela amanzi aseNayile? Uyelani na eAsiriya ukuya kusela amanzi omEfrati? ¹⁹Ububi bakho bokuthethisa wena; ukuwexuka kwakho kokukhalimela. Yazi ke ubone ukuba kubi, kumunyu kangakanani ukumshiya uBawo wakho; akundoyiki, utsho uBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini. ²⁰Kudala ndayaphula idyokhwe yakho, ndazikhulula izintya zakho, kodwa wena wathi: ‘Andiyi kukhonza.’ Inene, phezu kwayo yonke induli ephakamileyo, naphantsi kwawo wonke umthi oqhakazileyo, walala phantsi njengehenyukazi. ²¹Mna ndandikutyale njengomdiliya onyuliweyo, uvela embewini ethembekileyo kuphele. Kwenzeka njani ke ukuba undijikele, usuke ube ngumdiliya wasendle owonakeleyo? ²²Nokuba uthe wazihlamba ngesoda, wasebenzisa isepha eninzi, ibala letyala lakho lisekho phambi kwam, utsho uBawo oyiNkosi.

²³Ungatsho njani ukuthi: ‘Andiyonqambi; andilandelanga ooBhahali’? Yikhangele indlela yakho entilini; cinga ngoko ukwenzileyo—inkamela elitsha elingazinzanga, elibaleka apha naphaya, ²⁴iesile lasendle elikhaya entlango, lifutha umoya ngokunqwena kwalo—ngubani onokulithiba xa lineminkenketho? Abo balifunayo abayi kuzidinisa ngokulikhangela; xa lifika ixesha, baya kulifumana. ²⁵Yima ngaphambi kokuba iinyawo zakho ziphelelwe, nomqala wakho wome. Kodwa wena wathi: ‘Alikho ithemba! Hayi, kuba ndithanda abasemzini, ndoza ndibalandele.’ ²⁶Njengoko isela lidana xa libanjiwe, yenjenjalo ukudana indlu kaSirayeli—bona, nookumkani babo, nabaphathi babo, nababingeleli babo, nabaprofeti babo, ²⁷abathi emthini: ‘Ungubawo,’ nasematyeni: ‘Nguwe ondizeleyo.’ Kuba bandinikele umhlana, hayi ubuso babo. Kodwa ngexesha lenkxwaleko yabo bakhala, besithi: ‘Suk’ ume, usisindise!’ ^d d v27 Ukubiza umthi oqingqiweyo ngokuthi ‘ungubawo’ kukuxelisa okumasikizi ubudlelwane benene—kukujika kuBawo wenyaniso owabenzayo, ubheka kwizinto ezingaphiliyo ezingenakwenza njalo. ²⁸Kodwa baphi na oothixo owazenzelayo? Mabasuke beme, ukuba banokukusindisa ngexesha lenkxwaleko yakho; kuba oothixo bakho baninzi njengemizi yakho, Yuda. ²⁹Yini na ukuba undimangalele? Nonke nindigwilikile, utsho uBawo wethu. ³⁰Ndabetha ngelize oonyana bakho; abasamkelanga isohlwayo. Ikrele lakho ngokwalo labadla abaprofeti bakho njengengonyama eqwengayo. ³¹Sizukulwana, cinga ngelizwi likaBawo wethu: Ndandiyintlango na kuSirayeli, nokuba ndililizwe lobumnyama obukhulu? Yini na ke ukuba abantu bam bathi: ‘Sikhululekile ukubhadula; asiyi kuphinda size kuwe’? ³²Angazilibala na intombi izivatho zayo, nomtshakazi umbhinqo wakhe womtshato? Kodwa abantu bam bandilibele mna imihla engenakubalwa. ³³Hayi indlela oceba ngobuchule ngayo ukuphuthuma uthando! Ude wafundisa iindlela zakho kumankazana angendawo. ³⁴Emiphethweni yezambatho zakho kufunyanwa igazi lobomi bamahlwempu amsulwa—nangona ungawabambanga egqobha indlu. Noko kuzo zonke ezi zinto, ³⁵wena uthi: ‘Andinatyala; inene umsindo wakhe undijikele.’ Kodwa ndiya kukuzisa ekugwetyweni ngenxa yokuthi: ‘Andonanga.’ ³⁶Hayi ukuphaphazela kwakho usuka uguqula indlela! Uya kudaniswa yiYiputa njengoko wadaniswa yiAsiriya. ³⁷Nakhona apho uya kumka uzibeke izandla zakho entloko, kuba uBawo wethu ubacekisile abo ukholose ngabo, abayi kukunceda nganto.
