2Ndodana yomuntu, phakamisa isililo ngoFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe, uthi kuye: Wena uzifanise nebhubesi phakathi kwezizwe, kodwa unjengodrako oselwandle; wafohla emifuleni yakho, waganga amanzi ngezinyawo zakho, wangcolisa imifudlana yawo. a a v2 “Udrako oselwandle” ungumfanekiso kaFaro njengesilwane esikhulu somfula esibhixiza eNayile — hhayi isilo sangempela, kodwa amandla aseGibhithe aqhoshayo nabhubhisayo. 3Yilokhu okushiwo yiNkosi uBaba: Ngiyakwendlala inetha lami phezu kwakho ngesixuku sezizwe eziningi, bakudonse ngenetha lami lokudoba. 4Ngiyakukuphonsa emhlabathini, ngikulahlele endle evulekile; ngenze zonke izinyoni zezulu zihlale phezu kwakho, nezilwane zomhlaba wonke zizitike ngawe. 5Ngiyakuhlakaza inyama yakho ezintabeni, ngigcwalise izigodi ngesidumbu sakho. 6Ngiyakumanzisa umhlaba ngegazi lakho eligobhozayo kuze kufike ezintabeni, nemihosha izakugcwala nguwe. 7Lapho ngikucisha, ngiyakusibekela amazulu, ngifiphaze izinkanyezi zawo; ngisibekele ilanga ngamafu, nenyanga ingayikhiphi ukukhanya kwayo. 8Ngiyakwenza bonke ukukhanya okukhazimulayo emazulwini kube mnyama phezu kwakho, ngilethe ubumnyama ezweni lakho, kusho iNkosi uBaba. 9Ngiyakukhathaza izinhliziyo zezizwe eziningi, lapho ngiletha izindaba zokuwa kwakho phakathi kwezizwe, emazweni ongawazanga. 10Ngiyakwenza izizwe eziningi zethuke ngenxa yakho, namakhosi azo athuthumele ngovalo ngenxa yakho, lapho ngizungezisa inkemba yami phambi kwawo. Ngosuku lokuwa kwakho ayakuqhaqhazela njalonjalo, kube yilowo nalowo ngenxa yempilo yakhe. 11Ngokuba yilokhu okushiwo yiNkosi uBaba: Inkemba yenkosi yaseBhabhiloni iyakwehlela phezu kwakho. 12Ngezinkemba zamaqhawe ngiyakuwisa isixuku sakho— izizwe ezinonya kunazo zonke. Zona ziyakuchoboza ukuzidla kwaseGibhithe, nazo zonke izixuku zalo ziyakubhujiswa. 13Ngiyakuqeda zonke izinkomo zalo ngasemanzini amaningi; alusayikuwadunga unyawo lomuntu, nezinselo zezinkomo azisayikuwazamazamisa. 14Khona-ke ngiyakwenza amanzi awo azole, ngenze imifula yawo igeleze njengamafutha, kusho iNkosi uBaba. 15Lapho ngenza izwe laseGibhithe libe yincithakalo, ngaphuca izwe konke okuligcwalisayo, lapho ngibulala bonke abahlala kulo, khona-ke bayakwazi ukuthi mina nginguBaba.

Inkemba isikhishiwe; mhudulani amuke kanye nazo zonke izixuku zakhe. 21Abaholi abanamandla bayakukhuluma ngaye bephakathi kwethuna, kanye nabasizi bakhe: Behlile, balele khona—abangasokile, ababulewe ngenkemba. 22I-Asiriya ilapho kanye nalo lonke ibandla layo, amathuna ayo ayizungeza nxazonke, bonke bebulewe, bewe ngenkemba, 23amathuna abo abekwe ezinzulwini zegodi, ibandla layo lizungeze ithuna layo, bonke bebulewe, bewe ngenkemba—labo ababesabekisa ezweni labaphilayo. 24I-Elamu ilapho kanye nazo zonke izixuku zayo zizungeze ithuna layo, bonke bebulewe, bewe ngenkemba—labo abehlela bengasokile emhlabeni ongezansi, labo ababesabekisa ezweni labaphilayo.
