IGibhithe liyazilwisa, umfula iNayile womile, nabeluleki balo abadumile banikeza iseluleko esingenamqondo ngoba uBaba wethu uthele ukudideka phakathi kwalo. Bese isiprofetho siguquka ngendlela emangalisayo: i-altare enhliziyweni yeGibhithe, umsindisi othunyelwa lapho iGibhithe likhala, neGibhithe libizwa ngokuthi ngabantwana bakhe.
19 1Isiprofetho ngeGibhithe. Bheka—uBaba wethu ugibele ifu elinejubane, engena eGibhithe. Izithombe zaseGibhithe ziyathuthumela phambi kwakhe, nenhliziyo yaseGibhithe iyancibilika ngaphakathi.
2Ngiyakuvusa iGibhithe limelane neGibhithe, balwe, kube yilowo emelene nomfowabo, nalowo emelene nomakhelwane wakhe, umuzi umelane nomuzi, umbuso umelane nombuso. 3Umoya waseGibhithe uyakuthululwa ngaphakathi kulo, ngiyakusiginga iseluleko salo; bayakubuza ezithombeni nakwabanemimoya, emadlozini nakubabhula abafileyo. 4Ngiyakunikela iGibhithe ezandleni zenkosi elukhuni, inkosi enonya iyakubabusa—kusho uBaba wamabutho asezulwini.
5Amanzi olwandle ayakoma, nomfula uyakushwabana wome nse. 6Imisele iyakunuka; imifudlana yaseGibhithe iyakuncipha yome; umhlanga nekhwane kuyakubuna. 7Izindawo ezinqunu eceleni kweNayile, nasemlonyeni weNayile, nakho konke okutshaliwe eceleni kweNayile kuyakoma, kuphephuke, kungabe kusaba khona. 8Abadobi bayakulila; bonke abaphonsa amadobo eNayile bayakukhala, nalabo abendlala amanetha phezu kwamanzi bayakuphelelwa. 9Abasebenzi belineni elikanyiweyo bayakujabhiswa, nabaluki bendwangu emhlophe. 10Abaluki balo bayakucobeka, nabo bonke abasebenzela inkokhelo bayakuba buhlungu enhliziyweni. 11Izikhulu zaseSowani ziyiziwula nje; abeluleki bakaFaro abahlakaniphe kakhulu banikeza iseluleko esiyize. Ningasho kanjani kuFaro nithi: “Ngiyindodana yabahlakaniphileyo, indodana yamakhosi asendulo”? 12Baphi manje abahlakaniphileyo bakho? Mabakutshele, bazise lokho uBaba wamabutho asezulwini akuhlelile ngeGibhithe. 13Izikhulu zaseSowani seziyiziwula, izikhulu zaseMemfisi zikhohlisiwe; izinsika zezizwe zalo ziyidukisile iGibhithe. 14UBaba wethu uthulule kulo umoya wokudideka, benza iGibhithe lantengantenga kukho konke elikwenzayo, njengesidakwa esintengantenga ebuhlanzweni baso. 15Akuyikuba khona lutho iGibhithe elingalwenza, noma yikhanda noma umsila, igatsha lesundu noma umhlanga. a a v15 Ikhanda nomsila, igatsha lesundu nomhlanga: isisho sesiHeberu esihlanganisa wonke umuntu kusukela komkhulu kakhulu kuya komncane kakhulu.
16Ngalolo suku abaseGibhithe bayakuba njengabesifazane—bethuthumela ngokwesaba isandla uBaba wamabutho asezulwini asiphakamisela phezu kwabo. 17Izwe lakwaJuda liyakwethusa iGibhithe; bonke abalizwa libizwa bayakwesaba, ngenxa yalokho uBaba wamabutho asezulwini akuhlelayo ngabo. 18Ngalolo suku imizi emihlanu eGibhithe iyakukhuluma ulimi lwaseKhanani, ifunge ukwethembeka kuBaba wamabutho asezulwini. Omunye uyakubizwa ngokuthi uMuzi weLanga. b b v18 Ulimi lwaseKhanani kwakuyisiHeberu, ulimi lomdabu lwako-Israyeli.
19Ngalolo suku kuyakuba khona i-altare likaBaba wethu enhliziyweni yeGibhithe, nensika emiselwe yena emngceleni walo. 20Kuyakuba yisibonakaliso nobufakazi kuBaba wamabutho asezulwini ezweni laseGibhithe. Lapho bekhala kuBaba wethu ngenxa yabacindezeli, uyakubathumela umsindisi nomvikeli, abakhulule. 21UBaba wethu uyakuzibonakalisa kwiGibhithe; ngalolo suku abaseGibhithe bayakumazi, bakhonze ngomhlatshelo nangomnikelo, benze izifungo kuye baziphelelise. 22UBaba wethu uyakulishaya iGibhithe—eshaya ephinde aphilise. Bayakubuyela kuye; uyakuzwa ukunxusa kwabo abaphilise. c c v22 Lapho uBaba wethu eqondisa, injongo yakhe ayikaze ibe ukubhubhisa kodwa ukubuyela ekhaya — ushaya kuphela ukuze aphilise, futhi uyaphilisa ngqo lapho abantwana bakhe bebuyela kuye.
23Ngalolo suku kuyakuba khona umgwaqo omkhulu osuka eGibhithe uye e-Asiriya. Abase-Asiriya bayakungena eGibhithe, nabaseGibhithe bangene e-Asiriya, iGibhithe likhonze kanye ne-Asiriya.
24Ngalolo suku u-Israyeli uyakuba ngowesithathu kanye neGibhithe ne-Asiriya, abe yisibusiso phakathi komhlaba,
25ngokuba uBaba wamabutho asezulwini ubabusisile wathi: “Malibusiswe iGibhithe abantwana bami, ne-Asiriya umsebenzi wezandla zami, no-Israyeli ifa lami.” d d v25 UBaba wethu ubiza iGibhithe — umcindezeli wakudala wako-Israyeli — ngokuthi ngabantu bakhe, kanye ne-Asiriya njengomsebenzi wezandla zakhe, no-Israyeli njengefa lakhe. Inhliziyo kaBaba wethu ifinyelela kuzo zonke izizwe, izibuyisele ekhaya.
