Isiqalekiso Siphumela Phezu Kwezwe
Imibono emibili yokubhekana necala: umqulu ondizayo ophuma njengesiqalekiso phezu kwamasela nalabo abafunga amanga, nowesifazane ogama lakhe linguBubi ovalelwe ebhasikidini ngaphansi kwesivalo somthofu athwalelwe eShinari. UBaba wethu akububekezeleli ububi — uyabususa.
5 1Ngaphinda ngaphakamisa amehlo ami ngabuka, bheka phambi kwami kwakukhona umqulu ondizayo. 2Wabuza wathi: “Ubonani?” Ngaphendula ngathi: “Ngibona umqulu ondizayo, obude bawo buyizinyawo ezingamashumi amathathu, ububanzi bawo buyizinyawo eziyishumi nanhlanu.”
3Wayesethi kimi: “Lesi yisiqalekiso esiphumela phezu kwezwe lonke. Wonke umuntu oyintshontshi uyakususwa, ngalolunye uhlangothi lwaso; wonke umuntu ofunga amanga, asuswe ngolunye uhlangothi.”
4“Ngisithumele, kusho uBaba wamabutho asezulwini; siyakungena endlini yentshontshi nasendlini yalowo ofunga amanga ngegama lami, sihlale khona, sisidle—kokubili izingodo namatshe.”
Ububi Buthwalelwa Endaweni Yabo
5Ingelosi eyayikhuluma nami yasondela yathi: “Phakamisa amehlo manje ubone ukuthi yini lena ephumayo.”
6Ngabuza ngathi: “Yini lena?” Wathi: “Yibhasikidi eliphumayo.” Wabe esethi: “Lokhu kuyicala labo ezweni lonke.”
7Kungazelelwe, isivalo somthofu saphakanyiswa, bheka kwakukhona owesifazane ehlezi phakathi ebhasikidini. 8Wathi: “Lokhu kunguBubi.” Wamphindisela ebhasikidini wacindezela isisindo somthofu phezu komlomo walo.
9Ngaphakamisa amehlo ngabona abesifazane ababili beza, umoya usemaphikweni abo—amaphiko afana nawonogolantethe—baliphakamisa ibhasikidi phakathi komhlaba nezulu. 10Ngase ngithi kuyo ingelosi eyayikhuluma nami: “Baliyisaphi ibhasikidi?”
11Wathi kimi: “Ukuze bakhele indlu ezweni laseShinari; kuthi lapho seyilungile, ibhasikidi liyakubekwa khona phezu kwesisekelo salo.” a a v11 IShinari yigama lasendulo leBhabhiloniya—izwe lokudingiselwa okukhulu kuka-Israyeli.
