5Hambani liye le lale ezitaladeni zeJerusalema,a libone khathesi, lazi, lidinge ezindaweni zayo ezingamagceke, uba lingathola umuntu,b uba ekhona owenza isahlulelo,c odinga iqiniso; khona ngizayithethelela.d 2 Loba-ke besithi:e Kuphila kukaJehova;f kanti bafunga amanga.g h 3 Nkosi, amehlo akho kawakho eqinisweni yini?i Ubatshayile,j k kodwa kabezwanga buhlungu;l ubaqothule, kodwa bala ukwemukela ukulaywa.m Benzile ubuso babo bube lukhuni kuledwala,n bala ukuphenduka.o 4 Mina ngasengisithi: Qiniso, laba ngabayanga, bayizithutha;p ngoba kabayazi indlela yeNkosi,q isahlulelo sikaNkulunkulu wabo.r 5 Mina ngizakuya kwabakhulu, ngikhulume labo, ngoba bona bayayazi indlela yeNkosi,s isahlulelo sikaNkulunkulu wabo;t kodwa labo kanyekanye balephulile ijogwe,u baqamula izibopho.v 6 Ngakho-ke isilwanew esiphuma ehlathini sizababulala,x impisi yezinkangala ibachithe,y ingwe ilinde imelene lemizi yabo;z wonke ophuma kiyo uzadatshudatshulwa; ngoba iziphambeko zabo zinengi, ukuhlehlela nyovanea kwabo kwandile.b

7 Ngingakuthethelela njani ngalokhu?c Abantwana bakho bangidelile,d bafungae ngabangeyisibo onkulunkulu.f Sengibasuthisile,g basebefeba,h babuthana ngamaxuku endlini yezifebe.i 8 Babenjengamabhiza asuthayo ekuseni, bakhonya,j omunye lomunye kumfazi kamakhelwane wakhe.k 9 Kangiyikujezisa yini ngenxa yalezizinto?l itsho iNkosi; kumbe umphefumulo wami kawuyikuphindisela yini esizweni esinjengalesi?

10 Yenyukelani emidulwini yayo, lichithe,m kodwa lingenzi isiphetho esipheleleyo;n susani ingatsha zayo,o ngoba kazisizo zeNkosi. 11 Ngoba indlu kaIsrayeli lendlu kaJuda zenze ngenkohliso enkulu zimelene lami,p itsho iNkosi. 12 Bayiphikile iNkosi,q bathi: Kayisiyo; njalo ububi kabuyikusehlela, futhi kasiyikubona inkemba loba indlala.r 13 Labaprofethi bazakuba ngumoya,s lelizwi kalikho kubo; kuzakwenziwa njalo kibo! 14 Ngalokho itsho njalo iNkosi uNkulunkulu wamabandla: Ngoba likhuluma lelilizwi, khangela, ngizakwenza amazwi ami emlonyeni wakhot abe ngumlilo,u lalababantu babe zinkuni,v njalo uzabaqothula. 15 Khangelani, ngizaletha phezu kwenu isizwew esivela khatshana,x ndlu kaIsrayeli, itsho iNkosi; yisizwe esilamandla,y yisizwe esidala, isizwe ongalwaziyo ulimi lwaso,z longayikuzwa esikukhulumayo.a 16 Isamba saso semitshokob sinjengengcwaba elivulekileyo;c bonke bangamaqhawe. 17 Njalo sizakudla isivuno sakho lokudla kwakho;d sizakudla amadodana akho lamadodakazi akho; sizakudla izimvu zakho lenkomo zakho; sizakudla ivini lakho lomkhiwa wakho; lemizi yakho ebiyelweyoe othembela kiyo, sizayithelela ubuyanga ngenkemba.

18 Kodwa langalezonsuku, itsho iNkosi, kangiyikwenza isiphetho esipheleleyo kini.f

19 Kuzakuthi-ke lapho lisithi: INkosi uNkulunkulu wethu yenzeleni zonke lezizinto kithi?g Khona uzakutsho kubo uthi: Njengoba lingidelile,h lakhonza onkulunkulu bemzini elizweni lakini, ngokunjalo lizakhonza abezizwe elizweni elingeyisilo lenu.i

20 Memezelani lokhu endlini kaJakobe, likuzwakalise koJuda, lisithi: 21 Zwanini-ke lokhu, lina bantu abayizithuthaj k labangelangqondo,l elilamehlo, kodwa lingaboni,m elilendlebe, kodwa lingezwa. 22 Kalingesabi yini?n itsho iNkosi; kaliyikuthuthumela phambi kwami yini, engabeka itshebetshebe laba ngumngcele wolwandleo ngesimiso saphakadep olungeledlule? Lanxa amagagasi alo etshayanaq kube kanti angenqobe; lanxa ehlokomar kube kanti kawayikudlula phezu kwawo. 23 Kodwa lababantu balenhliziyo evukelayo lephikayo;s baphambukile, bahamba. 24 Futhi kabatsho enhliziyweni zabo ukuthi: Ake sesabe iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, enika izulut lakuqalau lelamuvav ngesikhathi salo, esigcinelaw amaviki amisiweyo esivuno.x 25 Iziphambeko zenu ziphambule lezizinto,y lezono zenu zaligodlela okuhle.z 26 Ngoba phakathi kwabantu bami kutholakala abakhohlakeleyo; bacathemea njengabathiya inyoni; babeka umgibe ochithayo, babambe abantu. 27 Njengezongo ligcwele inyoni, zinjalo izindlu zabo zigcwele inkohliso; ngakho-ke sebebakhulu, banothile. 28 Bazimukile,b bancwaba, yebo, bedlula imisebenzi yomubi; kabameli udaba,c udaba lwezintandane,d kube kanti bayaphumelela;e lelungelo labaswelayo kabalahluleli. 29 Kangiyikubajezisa ngalezizinto yini?f kutsho iNkosi. Umphefumulo wami kawuyikuphindisela esizweni esinjengalesi yini?

30 Okwethusayo lokwesabekayo kwenzakele elizweni.g 31 Abaprofethi baprofethah ngamanga,i labapristi babusa ngezandla zabo;j labantu bami bakuthanda kunjalo;k kodwa lizakwenzani ekupheleni kwakho?
