Yeha kuwo umzi oneenkani
IYerusalem ityholwa ngokwala isohlwayo, abathetheli bayo nabaprofeti bebaxhwilayo. Aze imeko iguquke ngokupheleleyo: imilebe ehlanjululweyo, intsalela ethobekileyo, noBawo wethu ophakathi kwayo njengegorha elisindisayo—ayizolise ngothando lwakhe, ayivumele ingoma.
3 1Yeha kulo mzi oneenkani, ongcolileyo—umcinezeli! 2Akaphulaphuli zwi; akamkeli sohlwayo. Akakholosi ngoBawo wethu; akasondeli kuBawo wakhe.
3Abathetheli bakhe abaphakathi kuye ziingonyama ezigqumayo; abagwebi bakhe ziingcuka zangokuhlwa ezidla yonke into phambi kokusa. 4Abaprofeti bakhe bagasile, ngamadoda anenkohliso; ababingeleli bakhe bayayingcolisa into engcwele, bawugqwetha umthetho. 5uBawo wethu ophakathi kuye ulilungisa; akenzi bugqwetha. Kusasa ngakusasa ubuveza ekukhanyeni ubulungisa bakhe; abuze butshitshe. Kodwa ongendawo akanazintloni.
6“Ndizinqamle iintlanga; iinqaba zazo zembombo zingamanxuwa. Ndizibhuqile izitrato zazo ukuze kungabikho odlulayo; imizi yazo yonakele, kungasekho mntu—akusekho mmi konke konke.” 7Ndathi: “Inene uya kundoyika; uya kwamkela isohlwayo,” ukuze ikhaya lakhe linganqunyulwa ngako konke endandikumisele kuye. Kodwa noko baphangela ukonakalisa zonke izenzo zabo.
8“Ngoko lindani kum,” utsho uBawo wethu, “kude kube yimini endiya kuvuka ngayo ndibe lingqina. Kuba isigqibo sam kukuhlanganisa iintlanga, ndiqokelele izikumkani, ndiphalaze ubushushu bam phezu kwazo, wonke umsindo wam ovutha; kuba umlilo wekhwele lam uya kulidla lonke ihlabathi.”
Imilebe Ehlanjululweyo, Izwi Elinye
9“Kuba ngelo xesha ndiya kunika izizwe imilebe ehlanjululweyo, ukuze zonke zibize igama lam, zindikhonze ngamxhelo mnye. 10Ngaphesheya kwemilambo yakwaKushi abanquli bam, abantwana bam abachithachithiweyo, baya kuzisa umnikelo wam. a a v10 UKushi yiEthiyopiya yamandulo—isithili esikude ngasezantsi, esimela iziphelo zehlabathi elaziwayo. 11Ngaloo mini akuyi kudana ngazo zonke izenzo owandivukela ngazo; kuba ngelo xesha ndiya kususa phakathi kwakho abanekratshi nabagwagwisayo bakho, ungabi sakhukhumala entabeni yam engcwele. 12Kodwa ndiya kushiya phakathi kwakho abantu abathobekileyo nabalulamileyo, baya kuzimela ngegama lam. 13Amasalela akwaSirayeli akayi kwenza bugqwetha, angathethi buxoki, nolwimi olunenkohliso aluyi kufunyanwa emlonyeni wawo. Kuba aya kudla alale phantsi, kungabikho owawothusayo.”
14Memelela, ntombi yaseZiyon; danduluka, Sirayeli! Vuya, utsholoze ngovuyo ngentliziyo yakho yonke, ntombi yaseYerusalem! 15uBawo wethu uzisusile izigwebo ebezibhekiswe kuwe; ulugxothile utshaba lwakho. uKumkani wakwaSirayeli, uBawo wethu, uphakathi kwakho; akusayi kuphinda woyike bubi. 16Ngaloo mini kuya kuthiwa kwiYerusalem: “Musa ukoyika, Ziyon; izandla zakho zingadendi. 17uBawo wakho uphakathi kwakho, ligorha elinamandla elisindisayo. Uya kuvuya ngawe enemihlali; uya kukuzolisa ngothando lwakhe; uya kugcoba ngawe ehlabela ngezwi elikhulu.” b b v17 uBawo wethu uyavuya ngabantwana bakhe enemihlali, abazolise ngothando lwakhe, aze abahlabelele ngezwi elikhulu — esinye sezona zityhilelo zicacileyo zovuyo lwakhe kwiTestamente eNdala.
18Ndiya kubahlanganisa abakho abakhedamileyo—abo babekwe kude kumaxesha amisiweyo— kuba baye baba yingcikivo nomthwalo phezu kweYerusalem. 19Ngelo xesha ndiya kuqubisana nabo bonke abakucudisayo. Ndiya kusindisa iziqhwala, ndibahlanganise abagxothiweyo, ndize ndijike ihlazo labo libe yindumiso nodumo ehlabathini lonke. 20Ngelo xesha ndiya kukuzisa ekhaya; ngelo xesha ndiya kukuhlanganisa ndawonye. Kuba ndiya kukwenza ube nodumo udunyiswe phakathi kwazo zonke izizwe zehlabathi, xa ndikubuyisele ukuthinjwa kwakho phambi kwamehlo akho, utsho uBawo wethu.
