Ukuphuma Kweenqwelo Ezine
Iinqwelo ezine ziphuma ukuze zijikeleze ihlabathi ngenxa yeNkosi yehlabathi lonke. Emva koko kwenziwa isithsaba ngegolide yabathinjwa, sibekwe entlokweni kaYoshuwa, sialatha kwiGatya, eya kwakha itempile kaBawo wethu, abambe isihlalo sobukhosi kunye nobubingeleli ngemvisiswano enoxolo.
6 1Ndabuya ndawaphakamisa amehlo am, ndabona iinqwelo ezine ziphuma phakathi kweentaba ezimbini; ezo ntaba zaye zintaba zobhedu. 2Inqwelo yokuqala yayinamahashe abomvu, inqwelo yesibini inamahashe amnyama, 3inqwelo yesithathu inamahashe amhlophe, inqwelo yesine inamahashe amaqhakuva; onke enamandla. 4Ndabuza ke kuso isithunywa esathetha nam, ndathi: “Ziyintoni na ezi zinto, nkosi yam?”
5Saphendula isithunywa, sathi: “Le yimimoya emine yezulu, ephuma ekumeni phambi kweNkosi yehlabathi lonke. 6Inqwelo enamahashe amnyama iya ezweni elingasentla, amhlophe alandela emva kwawo, aze amaqhakuva aye ezweni elingasezantsi. 7Athe akuphuma amahashe anamandla, elangazelela ukuhamba ejikeleza ihlabathi, wathi: ‘Hambani, nijikeleze ihlabathi!’ Aza ajikeleza ihlabathi.”
8Waza wabizela kum, esithi: “Khangela, abo baya ezweni elingasentla sebewuphumzile uMoya wam ezweni elingasentla.” a a v8 Amazwi athi “ukuwuphumza uMoya wam” athetha ukuba iinjongo zikaThixo zomgwebo ngakwelasentla — icala awavela kulo abacinezeli bamaSirayeli — ngoku zizalisekile.
UGatya Uya Kwakha Itempile Yakhe
9Lafika ke ilizwi likaBawo wethu kum, lisithi:
10“Thabatha umnikelo kubathinjwa — uHeldayi, noTobhiya, noYedaya, abavela eBhabhilon — uze uye kwangaloo mini endlwini kaYosiya unyana kaZefaniya. 11Uthabathe isilivere negolide, wenze isithsaba, usibeke entlokweni kaYoshuwa unyana kaYehotsadaki, umbingeleli omkhulu. 12Yitsho kuye: Utsho uBawo wemikhosi ukuthi: ‘Nangu umntu ogama linguGatya; uya kuhluma, aphume kwindawo yakhe, aze akhe itempile kaBawo wethu. 13Nguye oya kuyakha itempile kaBawo wethu, athwale ubungangamsha, ahlale alawule etroneni yakhe. Uya kuba ngumbingeleli esetroneni yakhe, size isivumelwano soxolo sidibanise zombini ezi zikhundla. b b v13 Apha indoda enye ingukumkani osetroneni kwangumbingeleli ngaxeshanye — into obekungavumelekanga ukuba ibe yiyo nawuphi na umlawuli kwaSirayeli. Oku kukhombela phambili kuYesu, yena yedwa odibanisa ubukumkani nobubingeleli, nalowo uxolo phakathi kwazo zombini lugcinwe ngokugqibeleleyo kuye. 14Isithsaba siya kuhlala etempileni kaBawo wethu, sibe sisikhumbuzo kuHeldayi, noTobhiya, noYedaya, nakuHen unyana kaZefaniya. 15Abo bakude baya kuza bakhe itempile kaBawo wethu, nize nazi ukuba uBawo wemikhosi undithumile kuni. Oku kuya kwenzeka ukuba nithe naliphulaphula ngenkuthalo izwi lakhe.’”
