INkosi izamelana labaprofethi bamanga

1Ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi lathi:

2Ndoda, tshumayela ngabaprofethi bakoIsrayeli, uthi kulabo abatshumayelayo okwengqondo zabo: Zwanini ilizwi leNkosi.

3INkosi uNkulunkulu ithi: Maye kubaprofethi abayizithutha abalandela owabo umoya, bengabonanga mibono!

4Wena Israyeli, abaprofethi bakho banjengamakhanka asemanxiweni.

5Kabayanga ezikhaleni ukulungisela uIsrayeli umduli odilikileyo ukuze aqine osukwini lokulwa osukwini lweNkosi.

6Bakhohlisile, bavumisa amanga, besithi: Nanka amazwi eNkosi; yona iNkosi ingabathumanga, baqaphele ukuba izagcwalisa ilizwi labo.

7Kakusiwo umbono wenkohliso eliwubonileyo, lina baprofethi na? Ukuvumisa kwenu kakusiwo amanga na? Lithi kuyilizwi leNkosi uqobo, kodwa kungeyisimi engikhulumileyo.

8Ngakhoke iNkosi uNkulunkulu ithi: Ngoba likhulume inkohliso, labona amanga, ngizamelana lani, kutsho iNkosi uNkulunkulu.

9Isandla sami sizamelana labaprofethi ababona imibono yenkohliso, bavumise amanga. Kabayikuba semhlanganweni wabantu bami, loba babhalwe oluhlwini lwakoIsrayeli, kabayikungena elizweni lakoIsrayeli; lizakwazi ukuba ngiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu.

10Yebo, ngoba beduhisa abantu bami besithi: Kulungile! Khona kungalunganga; kunjengabantu abakha umduli, lababaprofethi bawucombe ngekalaga engavuthwanga.Jer 6:14; 8:11

11Tshela labo abawucombayo ngekalaga ukuthi uzakuwa. Kuzakuba khona impophoma zezulu, kukhithike isiqhotho esikhulu, kuvuke isiphepha somoya;

12nxa umduli lowo ususiwa, kakuyikutshiwo kuwe ukuthi: Kungaphi lokho ababewucomba ngakho na?

13Ngakhoke, iNkosi uNkulunkulu ithi: Ekuthukutheleni kwami ngizavusa isiphepha somoya, langolaka lwami nginise impophoma zezulu lesiqhotho esikhulu ukuba ngiwudilize.

14Ngizadiliza umduli eliwucombe ngekalaga, ngiwuwisele phansi ukuze kwambuleke izisekelo zawo; lekuweni kwawo uzalibulala; lizakwazi ukuba ngiyiNkosi.

15Ngokunjaloke ngizakwehlisela emdulini ulaka lwami laphezu kwalabo abawucomba ngekalaga, besengisithi kuwe: Umduli kawusekho, kanye lalabo abawucombileyo,

16abangabaprofethi bakoIsrayeli abatshumayeza iJerusalema, ababona imibono besithi kulungile, khona kungalunganga, kutsho iNkosi uNkulunkulu.

17Wena ndoda, phendukela kwabesifazana bakini abatshumayela okwengqondo zabo, utshumayele ngabo,

18uthi: INkosi uNkulunkulu ithi: Maye kwabesifazana abathungela intebe ezihlakaleni zabo bonke abantu, babenzele lezimbobozo zokufaka emakhanda ukuba babathiye. Lizathiya abantu bami, ukuba lisizakale lina na?

19Lingingcolisile phakathi kwabantu bami ngenxa yengcosana nje yebhali langezihletshana zezinkwa, labulala abantu abangafanelanga ukufa, layekela abantu abangafanelanga ukuphila ngamanga enu ebantwini bami abalalela amanga.

20Ngakho iNkosi uNkulunkulu ithi: Ngimelene lentebe zenu elithiya ngazo abantu; ngizazidabula engalweni zenu, ngiyekele abantu elibathiyileyo njengezinyoni bakhululeke.

21Lezimbombozo zenu lazo ngizazidabula, ngikhulule abantu bami ezandleni zenu, lingabe lisaba lamandla okubathiya futhi; lizakwazi ukuba ngiyiNkosi.

22Ngoba lidabukisile abalungileyo ngamanga, lanxa ngingabadabukisanga mina, lakhuthaza ababi ukuze bangaphenduki endleleni zabo ezimbi, basile.

23Ngakho kalisayikubona imibono yenkohliso, livumise; ngizakhulula abantu bami ezandleni zenu. Lizakwazi ukuba ngiyiNkosi.
