14 ¹Kuza imini kaBawo wethu, apho amaxhoba enu aya kwabiwa phakathi kwenu. ²Ndiya kuzihlanganisa zonke iintlanga ukuba zilwe neYerusalem. Umzi uya kuthinjwa, izindlu ziphangwe, abafazi badlwengulwe. Isiqingatha somzi siye ekufuduselweni, kodwa intsalela yabantu ayiyi kunqanyulwa emzini. ³Wandule uBawo wethu aphume, alwe nazo ezo ntlanga, njengoko esilwa ngemini yemfazwe. ⁴Ngaloo mini iinyawo zakhe ziya kuma eNtabeni yemiNquma esempumalanga kweYerusalem, ize icandeke phakathi ithabathela empumalanga ise entshonalanga, kubekho intlambo enkulu; isiqingatha sentaba sisiya ngasentla, isiqingatha ngasezantsi. ⁵Niya kusabela entlanjeni yeentaba zam, kuba iya kufikelela eAtsali. Niya kusaba njengoko nasaba inyikima ngemihla ka-Uziya ukumkani wakwaYuda. Aze afike uBawo wam, kunye nabangcwele bonke benaye.

⁶Ngaloo mini akuyi kubakho kukhanya, nangqele, neqabaka. ⁷Iya kuba yimini enye eyodwa, eyaziwa nguBawo wethu kuphela—ingemini nabusuku; kodwa ngokuhlwa kuya kubakho ukukhanya.

⁸Ngaloo mini amanzi aphilileyo aya kumpompoza ephuma eYerusalem, isiqingatha sibheke elwandle lwasempumalanga, isiqingatha sibheke elwandle lwasentshonalanga, ehlotyeni nasebusika ngokufanayo. ⁹Uya kuba ngukumkani uBawo wethu ehlabathini lonke. Ngaloo mini uBawo wethu uya kuba mnye, negama lakhe libe nye. ^a a v9 Uvumo olukhulu lukaSirayeli—lokuba uBawo wethu mnye—apha luba yingoma yehlabathi lonke: imini apho wonk' ubani kuyo yonke indawo amazi uBawo omnye njengokumkani.

¹⁰Ilizwe lonke liya kuba lithafa, lithabathela eGebha lise eRimon ngasezantsi kweYerusalem. Kodwa iYerusalem iya kuphakama ihlale endaweni yayo, ithabathela esangweni lakwaBhenjamin ise endaweni yesango lokuqala, kuse esangweni lembombo, nakwinqaba ende kaHananeli kuse ezixovulelweni zewayini zokumkani. ¹¹Abantu baya kuhlala kuyo, ayisayi kuba sisingelwa phantsi; iYerusalem iya kuhlala ikholosile.

¹²Sesi isibetho uBawo wethu aya kusizisa phezu kwazo zonke iintlanga ezilwe neYerusalem: inyama yazo iya kubola zimi, namehlo azo abole ezikhundleni zawo, nolwimi lwazo lubole emlonyeni wazo. ¹³Ngaloo mini kuya kwehla phezu kwazo umothuko omkhulu ovela kuBawo wethu; elowo aya kubamba isandla sommelwane wakhe, size isandla sakhe siphakame sichase isandla sommelwane wakhe. ¹⁴NoYuda uya kulwa eYerusalem, buhlanganiswe ubutyebi bazo zonke iintlanga ezingqongileyo—igolide, nesilivere, nezambatho ngobuninzi obukhulu. ¹⁵Kwanjalo isibetho eso siya kubetha amahashe, noondlebende, neenkamela, namaesile, nazo zonke iinkomo ezikuloo minquba.

¹⁶Wonke ke osindileyo weentlanga ezibe zilwa neYerusalem uya kunyuka iminyaka ngeminyaka, aye kunqula uKumkani, uBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini, nokwenza umthendeleko weminquba. ^b b v16 Umthendeleko weminquba (iSukkot) wawungumthendeleko wokuvuna weveki yonke apho amaSirayeli ayehlala eminqubeni yethutyana ukuze akhumbule ukuwondla kukaThixo ngeminyaka yasentlango. ¹⁷Nasiphi na isapho sehlabathi esingenyukelanga eYerusalem, siye kunqula uKumkani, uBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini, asiyi kuba namvula. ¹⁸Ukuba isapho laseYiputa alinyukanga, lazibonakalise, akuyi kubakho mvula phezu kwalo; kuya kufika isibetho uBawo wethu abetha ngaso iintlanga ezingenyukelanga ukwenza umthendeleko weminquba. ¹⁹Sesi isohlwayo saseYiputa nesazo zonke iintlanga ezingenyukelanga ukwenza umthendeleko weminquba.

²⁰Ngaloo mini kuya kubhalwa emankentezeni amahashe oku kuthi: “Ingcwele kuBawo wethu,” neenkamba ezisendlwini kaBawo wethu ziya kufana nezitya zokutshiza ezingaphambi kwesibingelelo. ²¹Zonke iinkamba eziseYerusalem nakwaYuda ziya kuba ngcwele kuBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini, ukuze bonke abo babingelelayo beze, bathabathe kuzo, baphekele kuzo. Ngaloo mini akuyi kubakho mthengisi osele endlwini kaBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini.
