3Kuthiwa: Uba indoda ilahla umkayo,a asuke kuyo, abe ngowenye indoda, izabuyela kuye futhi yini?b Lelolizwe belingayikungcoliswa kakhulu yini?c Kanti wena ufebile lezithandwa ezinengi;d kodwa buyela kimi,e itsho iNkosi. 2 Phakamisela amehlo akho emadundulwini,f ubone; kungaphi lapho ongalalwanga khona? Ezindleleni wabahlalela,g njengomArabhiya enkangala; njalo ulingcolisile ilizwe ngobufebe bakho langenkohlakalo yakho.h 3 Ngakho izihlambo zigodliwe;i njalo lalingekho izulu langemuva;j njalo waba lebunzi lewule,k wala ukuba lenhloni.l 4 Kawuyikuthi kusukela khathesi ukhale yini kimi uthi: Baba, ungumelulekim wobutsha bami?n 5 Yena uzalugcina yini ulaka lwakhe phakade?o Uzalulondoloza kuze kube sekucineni yini? Khangela, ukhulumile, wenza izinto ezimbi, uphumelele.
UIsrayeli loJuda bacelwa ukuphenduka
6 INkosi yasisithi kimi ensukwini zikaJosiya inkosi: Ubonile yini lokho uIsrayeli ohlehlele nyovane akwenzileyo?p Yena waya kuyo yonke intaba ephakemeyo, langaphansi kwaso sonke isihlahla esiluhlaza,q waphingela khona.r 7 Ngasengisithi esezenzile zonke lezizinto:s Buyela kimi;t kodwa kabuyelanga. Lodadewabo ongathembekangau uJuda wakubona lokho.v 8 Ngasengibona, lapho ngenxa yazo zonke imbangelaw uIsrayeli ohlehlela nyovane aphinga ngazo,x ngamxotsha ngamnikay incwadi yesehlukaniso,z ukuthi udadewabo ongathembekanga, uJuda, kesabanga,a kodwa laye wayafeba.b 9 Kwasekusithi ngenxa yendumela yokufeba kwakhe wangcolisa ilizwe,c waphinga lamatshe lezihlahla.d 10 Kube kanti kukho konke lokhu udadewabo ongathembekanga, uJuda, kabuyelanga kimi ngenhliziyo yakhe yonke,ef kodwa ngenkohliso, itsho iNkosi. 11 INkosi yasisithi kimi: UIsrayeli ohlehlela nyovaneg uzilungisiseh kuloJuda okhohlisayo.i
12 Hamba uyememezela lamazwi ngasenyakathoj uthi: Phenduka,k Israyeli ohlehlela nyovane,l itsho iNkosi. Kangiyikwenza ulaka lwami lwehlele phezu kwakho,m ngoba ngilesihawu,n itsho iNkosi, njalo kangiyikugcina ulaka lwami kuze kube phakade.o 13 Yazi kuphela isiphambeko sakho ukuthi uphambekile umelene leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho,p wahlakaza izindlela zakhoq kwabezizwenir ngaphansi kwaso sonke isihlahla esiluhlaza,s njalo kawulalelanga ilizwi lami,t itsho iNkosi.
14 Phendukani,u bantwana abahlehlela nyovane,v itsho iNkosi, ngoba mina ngiliganile; njalo ngizalithatha,w abe munye emzini,x lababili kulo usendo, ngililethe eZiyoni.y 15 Njalo ngizalinikaz abelusi njengokwenhliziyo yami,a abazalelusa ngolwazi lokuqedisisa.b 16 Kuzakuthi-ke lapho selandile laba banengi elizweni, ngalezonsuku, itsho iNkosi, kabasayikuthi: Umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi; njalo kawuyikufika enhliziyweni, njalo kabayikuwukhumbula, futhi kabayikuwuhambela, kungabuyi kwenziwe futhi. 17 Ngalesosikhathi bazabiza iJerusalema ngokuthi yisihlalo sobukhosi seNkosi; lezizwe zonke zizabuthaniswa kuyo,c ngebizo leNkosi,d eJerusalema; futhi kazisayikulandela inkani yenhliziyo yazo embi.e 18 Ngalezonsuku indlu yakoJuda izakuya kuyo indlu yakoIsrayeli,f ziphume kanyekanye elizweni lenyakatho,g zize elizweni engalinika oyihlo libe yilifa labo.h 19 Kodwa mina ngathi: Ngizakubeka njani phakathi kwabantwana, ngikunike ilizwe eliloyisekayo, ilifa elihle kakhulu lezizwe. Ngasengisithi: Uzangibizai ngokuthi: Baba; njalo ungaphambuki ekungilandeleni.
20 Isibili, njengomfazi ungathembekanga kumkakhe,j ngokunjalo kalithembekanga kimi,kl lina ndlu kaIsrayeli, itsho iNkosi. 21 Ilizwi lezwakala emadundulwini,m ukukhala lokuncenga kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli,n ngoba bephambule indlela yabo, bayikhohlwa iNkosi uNkulunkulu wabo.o 22 Phendukani, lina bantwana abahlehlela nyovane;p ngizakwelaphaq ukuhlehlela nyovane kwenu.r Khangela, thina siyeza kuwe, ngoba uyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu. 23 Isibili kuyize ukuthembela kusindiso oluvela emaqaqeni, lebunengini bezintaba.s Isibili luseNkosini uNkulunkulu wethu usindiso lukaIsrayeli.t 24 Ngoba ihlazo liwuqedileu umtshikatshika wabobaba kusukela ebutsheni bethu,v izimvu zabo lenkomo zabo, amadodana abo lamadodakazi abo. 25 Silala phansi ehlazweni lethu, lenhloni zethu zisimbozile;w ngoba sonile eNkosini uNkulunkulu wethu,x thina labobaba, kusukela ebutsheni bethu kuze kube lamuhla,y njalo kasilalelanga ilizwi leNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu.z
