4Ngosuku owazalwa ngalo inkaba yakho kayiqunywanga, kawugeziswanga langamanzi ukuba uhlambuluke, kawugcotshwanga langetshwayi, kawugoqelwanga ngamalembu.
5Kakho owaba lomusa kuwe ukuba akwenzele lezizinto; kakho lowakuthandayo. Kodwa walahlelwa egangeni, ngoba wawunengeka osukwini owazalwa ngalo.

14Udumo lwakho lwafinyelela ezizweni ngenxa yobuhle bakho, ngoba babuphelele ngezinto ezinhle engangikwambathise zona, kutsho iNkosi uNkulunkulu.
15Kodwa wathemba ubuhle bakho, waba liwule ngenxa yodumo lwakho, wawula labo bonke abedlulayo.
16Wathatha ezinye izambatho zakho, wacecisa ngazo indawo zokukhonzela, wawulela lapho.
17Wathatha futhi iziceco zakho ezinhle zegolide lami lezesiliva sami engakunika zona, wazenzela izithombe zabantu, wawula lazo.
18Wathatha izambatho zakho ezicecisiweyo, wazembesa ngazo, wanikela ngamafutha ami langempepha yami kuzo.
19Wathatha ukudla engakunika khona, impuphu ecolekileyo lamafutha kanye loluju engangikondla ngakho, wanikela ngakho kuzo, kwaba ngumnikelo olephunga elimnandi, kutsho iNkosi uNkulunkulu.
20Wathatha amadodana lamadodakazi akho owawungizalele wona, wawanikela kuzo ukuba adliwe. Lokhu kwakuyinto encinyane yini kulokuwula kwakho na?
21Hayi, wabulala abantwana bami, wanikela ngabo ezintombeni, baba ngumnikelo wokutshiswa.
22Kuwo wonke amanyala akho lakukho konke ukuwula kwakho kawukhumbulanga insuku zobutsha bakho lapho wawunqunu, uqhatsha egazini lakho.
23Emva kwabo bonke ububi bakho — maye, maye kuwe, kutsho iNkosi uNkulunkulu —
24wazakhela ithala, wazenzela indawo ephakemeyo emidangeni yonke;
25emahlanganweni endlela zonke wazakhela indawo ephakemeyo, wangcolisa ubuhle bakho uzinikela kibo bonke abadlulayo, usandisa ukuwula kwakho.
26Wabuya wawula lamaGibithe, omakhelwana bakho ababewula kakhulu, usandisa ukuwula kwakho ukuba ungithukuthelise.
27Ngakho ngikuphakamisele isandla sami, nginciphisile isabelo sakho, ngakunikela ekuphangeni kwezitha zakho amaFilistiya, abe lenhloni ngokuziphatha kwakho ngokubi.
28Futhi uwulile lamaAsiriya ngoba ungakholisanga; uwulile lawo, kawaze wakholwa.
29Wandisa ukuwula kwakho futhi lelizwe labathengi iKaladiya, kodwa langalokhu kawukholwanga.
30Wakwenza konke lokhu njengewule elingelanhloni, kutsho iNkosi uNkulunkulu.
31Wazakhela ithala emahlanganweni endlela zonke, wenza indawo zakho eziphakemeyo zokukhonzela emidangeni yonke. Kanti kawubanga njengewule ngoba wadelela inkokhelo.

41Zizatshisa izindlu zakho, zikuthonisise phambi kwabesifazana abanengi. Ngizakukhawulisa ukuwula ungabe usanika izithandwa zakho inkokhelo.
42Ngalokho ngiqede ukuthukuthela kwami kuwe, lomona wami uphele kuwe. Ngizadeda, ngingabe ngisathukuthela.
43Ngoba ungakhumbulanga insuku zobutsha bakho, kodwa ungithukuthelisile ngazo zonke lezizinto, ngizaphindisela izenzo zakho phezu kwakho, kutsho iNkosi uNkulunkulu.

45Wena uyindodakazi eqotho kanyoko owayesenyanya indoda yakhe labantwana bakhe; ungudade oqotho wabodadewenu ababesenyanya amadoda abo labantwana babo. Unyoko wayengumHethi loyihlo wayengumAmori.
46Udadewenu omdala yiSamariya elalihlala lamadodakazi alo ngasenyakatho kwakho; lomnawakho owayehlala ngaseningizimu kwakho yiSodoma lamadodakazi alo.
47Kanti kawukholwanga yikuhamba ngezindlela zabo, layikwenza amanyala abo. Ngesikhatshana nje esincinyane waba mubi kulabo kuzo zonke indlela zakho.
48Ngiyazifunga, kutsho iNkosi uNkulunkulu, udadewenu iSodoma kalenzanga lona lamadodakazi alo njengokwenza kwakho lamadodakazi akho.

50Babezigqaja, besenza amanyala phambi kwami; ngalokho ngabasusa njengalokhu usubonile.
51ISamariya kalenzanga ingxenye yezono zakho. Wena wenzile amanyala amanengi ukwedlula lona, wenza odadewenu babonakale belungile ngamanyala akho owenzileyo.
52Lithwale ihlazo lakho lawe ngoba wenzile ukuthonisiswa kwabodadewenu kube lula ngenxa yezono zakho owazenzayo ukwedlula bona; bona balungile kulawe. Ngakho woba lenhloni lawe, uthwale ihlazo lakho, ngoba wenze ukuba odadewenu babonakale belungile.
53Ngizabuyisa abantu babo, abantu beSodoma lamadodakazi alo, labantu beSamariya lamadodakazi alo, ngibuyise labantu bakho kanye labo.
54Uzakuthwala ihlazo lakho, ube lenhloni ngakho konke okwenzileyo, ukuba ube yinduduzo kibo.
55Odadewenu, iSodoma lamadodakazi alo, bazabuyela esimeni sabo sakuqala, leSamariya lamadodakazi alo babuyele esimeni sabo sakuqala, lawe lamadodakazi akho libuyele esimeni senu sakuqala.
