Isithembiso sokuthula
4Kodwa kuzakuthi ekupheleni kwezinsuku, intaba yendlu yeNkosi iqiniswe phezu kwengqonga yezintabaa, njalo iphakanyiswe ngaphezu kwamaqaqa; lezizwe zizagelezela kuyo. 2 Lezizwe ezinengi zizahamba, zithi: Wozani, senyukele entabeni yeNkosi, lendlini kaNkulunkulu kaJakobe, njalo uzasifundisa ngezindlela zakhe, sihambe emikhondweni yakhe. Ngoba umlayo uzaphuma eZiyoni, lelizwi leNkosi eJerusalema.
3 Njalo izakwahlulela phakathi kwezizwe ezinengib, ikhuze izizwe ezilamandla ezikhatshanac; njalo zizakhanda inkemba zazo zibe yizikali zamakhuba, lemikhonto yazo ibe zingqamu zokuthena izihlahla; isizwe kasiyikuphakamisela isizwe inkemba, kazisayikufunda impi futhi. 4 Kodwa bazahlala ngulowo lalowo ngaphansi kwesihlahla sakhe sevini, langaphansi kwesihlahla sakhe somkhiwad; njalo kakho ozabesabisae; ngoba umlomo weNkosi yamabandla ukhulumilef. 5 Ngoba zonke izizwe zizahamba yileso laleso ebizweni likankulunkulu wasog, kodwa thina sizahamba ebizweni leNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu kuze kube phakade laphakadeh.
Ukukhululwa kukaIsrayeli ekuthunjweni
6 Ngalolosuku, itsho iNkosii, ngizabuthanisaj lowo oqhulayokl, ngiqoqemn lowo oxotshiweyo, lalowo engimhluphileyoo. 7 Ngizakwenza oqhulayopq abe yinsalir, loxotshelwe khatshana abe yisizwe esilamandlas; njalo iNkosi izabusa phezu kwabotu entabeni yeZiyoniv kusukela khathesi kuze kube ninininiw.
8 Ngakho wena, mphotshongo weEderix, inqaba yendodakazi yeZiyoniy, kuzafika kuwe, yebo, kuzafika ukubusa kwakuqalaz, umbuso kundodakazi yeJerusalema. 9 Khathesi ukhalelani kakhulua? Inkosi kayikho kuwe yinib? Umeluleki wakho usebhubhile yinic? Ngoba umhelo ukubambile njengowesifazana obelethayod. 10 Bana lobuhlungue, uhelelwe ukuze ubelethef, wena ndodakazi yeZiyoni, njengowesifazana obelethayog; ngoba khathesi uzaphuma emzini, uhlale egangeni, ubusufika eBhabhilonih; khona uzakhululwai; khona iNkosi izakuhlenga esandleni sezitha zakhoj.
11 Khathesi-ke izizwe ezinengi zibuthene zimelene lawek, ezithi: Kangcoliswel, lelihlo lethu kalikhangele eZiyonim. 12 Kodwa bona kabayazi imicabango yeNkosin, kabaliqedisisi icebo layo; ngoba uzababuthelela njengezithungo ebaleni lokubhulelao. 13 Sukuma ubhulepq, wena ndodakazi yeZiyoni; ngoba ngizakwenza uphondo lwakho lube yinsimbi, ngenze amasondo akho abe lithusir. Njalo uzachoboza izizwe ezinengist; njalo ngizakwehlukaniselau iNkosi inzuzo yazov, lenotho yazow kuyo iNkosi yomhlaba wonkex.
