Ukuvuthelwa kwexilongo

1Kwaphinda kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi:

2Nyana womntu, thetha koonyana babantu bakowenu, uthi kubo, Ukuba ndithe ndalizisela ikrele elo lizwe, xa abantu belo lizwe bathabatha enye indoda emideni yabo, bammisela ukuba ibagcine;

3Yalibona ikrele lilifikela ilizwe elo, yavuthela isigodlo, yabalumkisa abantu;

4bonke abathe baliva isandi sesigodlo, akalumkisa; ukuba lithe lafika ikrele, lamthabatha, igazi lakhe loba phezu kwentloko yakhe.

5Wasiva isandi sesigodlo, akalumkisa; igazi lakhe malibe phezu kwakhe. Kodwa lowo umlumkisayo uya kuwusindisa umphefumlo wakhe.

6Ukuba ke umlindi uthe walibona ikrele lisiza, akalivuthela isigodlo, abantu abalumkiswa; ukuba lithe lafika ikrele, labulala omnye kubo, urhoxile ebubini bakhe; ke igazi lakhe ndolibiza esandleni somboniseli lowo.

7Wena ke, nyana womntu, ndikwenze umboniseli kwindlu kaSirayeli; ngoko ke umele uve ilizwi eliphuma emlonyeni wam kwaye ubalumkise ngokuphuma kum.

8Ukuba ndithe kongendawo, Wena ungendawo, inene, uya kufa; ukuba uthe akwamlumkisa ongendawo ngendlela yakhe, wofa ongendawo ngobungendawo bakhe; ke igazi lakhe ndolibiza esandleni sakho.

9Wena ke, xa uthe wamvuselela ongendawo ngendlela yakhe, ukuba emke kuyo; ukuba uthe akabuya endleleni yakhe, wofa ngobugwenxa bakhe; kodwa uwuhlangule umphefumlo wakho.

10Ngako oko, nyana womntu, thetha kwindlu kaSirayeli; Nithetha ngolu hlobo, nithi, Xa izikreqo zethu nezono zethu ziphezu kwethu, yaye sibunile ngenxa yazo, singathini na ukuphila?

11Yithi kubo, Ndihleli nje, itsho iNkosi uYehova, andiyi kukuvuyela ukufa kongendawo; ukuze ongendawo aguquke endleleni yakhe nasebomini bakhe. Yini na ukuba nife, ndlu kaSirayeli?

12Ngako oko, nyana womntu, yithi koonyana babantu bakowenu, Ubulungisa belungisa abuyi kulisindisa ngemini yesono salo; ngenxa yobubi bakhe; yaye ilungisa aliyi kukwazi ukuphila ubulungisa balo ngemini yokona kwalo.

13Ukuba ndithe kwilungisa, lophila; ukuba ke uthe akholosa ngobulungisa bakhe, enze ngobugqwetha, abuyi kukhunjulwa ubulungisa bakhe; kodwa ngenxa yobugwenxa bakhe abenzileyo, uya kufa ngabo.

14Kananjalo anditsho ukuthi kongendawo, Inene, uya kufa; xa athe waguquka esonweni sakhe, wenza ubulungisa nobulungisa;

15Ukuba uthe waba mbi, uya kukubuyisa isibambiso, abuyise into ephangiweyo, ahamba ngemimiselo yakhe, akenzi ububi; inene, uya kuphila, akayi kufa.

16Zonke izono zakhe awona ngazo aziyi kukhunjulelwa kuye; inene, uya kuphila.

17Bathi ke oonyana babantu bakowenu, Indlela kaYehova ayilungelelene, nendlela yabo ayilungelelene.

18Xa umntu olilungisa eguquka ebulungiseni bakhe, enze okungekho bulungisa, uya kufa ngenxa yoko.

19Kodwa ukuba ongendawo uyabuya kubungendawo bakhe, enze ubulungisa nobulungisa, uya kuphila ngabo.

20Ke nina nithi, Indlela kaYehova ayilungelelene. Nina ke, ndlu kaSirayeli, ndiya kunigweba elowo ngokweendlela zakhe;

21Ngomnyaka weshumi elinesibini wokuthinjwa kwethu, ngenyanga yeshumi, ngolwesihlanu enyangeni leyo, kwafika kum osindileyo ovela eYerusalem, wathi, Umzi ubulewe.

22Yaye isandla sikaYehova saba phezu kwam ngokuhlwa, ngaphambi kokuba bafike abakhululekileyo; Wawuvula umlomo wam, wada weza kum kusasa; wavuleka umlomo wam, ndangabi saba sisidenge.

23Kwabonakala ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi:

24Nyana womntu, bathetha abo babehleli emanxuweni elizwe lakwaSirayeli, besithi, uAbraham wayeyedwa, walidla ilifa elimiweyo; kodwa thina sibaninzi; linikwe thina ilizwe ukuba libe lilifa.

25Ngako oko uthi kubo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Nidla igazi, amehlo enu niwaphakamisele ezigodweni zenu, niphalaze igazi; kwaye uya kulidla ilifa ilizwe?

26Nimi phezu kwekrele lenu, nenza izinto ezicekisekayo, nimenza inqambi umfazi ngamnye; kwaye uya kulidla ilifa ilizwe?

27Yithi kubo, Itsho iNkosi uYehova; Ndihleli nje, amanxuwa aya kuwa likrele, nosendle ndimnikele ukuba adle amarhamncwa, nabasemboniselweni nasemiqolombeni bambulale isifo sendyikitya yesifo esisulelayo.

28Ndiya kulenza kube senkangala ilizwe, buphele ubungangamsha bamandla alo; neentaba zakwaSirayeli ziya kuba yintlango, ukuze kungabikho bani udlulayo kuzo;

29bazi ukuba ndinguYehova, ndakulenza kube senkangala ilizwe, ngenxa yamasikizi onke abawenzileyo.

30Wena ke, nyana womntu, oonyana babantu bakowenu basathetha ngawe ezindongeni naseminyango yezindlu, bethetha elowo nomzalwana wakhe, besithi, Yiza, uve ukuba lithini na elo lizwi; yeNkosi phumani.

31Beza kuwe njengokuza kwabantu, bahlala phambi kwakho ngokwabantu bam, baweva amazwi akho, abavuma ukwenza; kuba benza uthando olukhulu ngomlomo wabo, kodwa iintliziyo zabo zilandela ukubawa kwabo.

32Yabona, kubo ufana nengoma emnandi kakhulu, ozwi limyoli, okwaziyo ukukubetha uhadi; ngokuba bawevile amazwi akho, abaweva.

33Kwakuba njalo, yabona, iya kufika; bazi ukuba umprofeti ubephakathi kwabo.
