1Vanini livi laSimakadze, nine ma-Israyeli, ngobe Simakadze usenelicala latanibeka lona, nine lenihlala kulelive, utsi: “Kute kwetsembeka, kute lutsandvo, kute kuphakamisa Nkulunkulu eveni.

2Lokukhona ticalekiso kuphela, nekucala emanga, nekugwazana, nekweba kanye nebuphingi; bephula tonkhe tikhonkhwane teminyele letibekiwe; kucitsa ingati kulandzela kucitfwa kwengati.

3Ngenca yaloku live liyalila, nabo bonkhe labahlala kulo bayahusheka; tilwane tesiganga netinyoni tasemoyeni kanye netinhlanti taselwandle kuyafa.”

4“Kodvwa akubete umuntfu lobeka licala, akubete muntfu lobeka lomunye licala, ngobe mine ngibeka umphristi licala.

5Nikhubateka emini nasebusuku, nebaphrofethi bakhubateka kanye nani, nine baphristi. Ngako ngitambhubhisa unyoko,

6bantfu bami bayabhujiswa ngenca yekweswela lwati. “Njengobe nikulahlile kwati mine, nami-ke sengiyanilahla kutsi ningete naba baphristi bami; njengobe niwutsalalisele umtsetfo waNkulunkulu wenu, nami-ke ngiyawubatsalalisela bantfwabenu.

7Ngekwandza kwebaphristi kanjalo kwandza nekona kwabo kimi, ngitakwenanisa ngebukhosi babo batselwe lihlazo.

8Batondla ngetono tebantfu bami, bajatjuliswe bubi babo.

9Kuyawuba nje: Bantfu bayawufanana nebaphristi. Ngiyawubajezisa bobabili ngetindlela tabo, ngibakhokhele ngaloko lokubi labakwentile.”

10“Bayakudla tabelo tabo temihlatjelo, kodvwa bangeke besutse; bayawungenela bugwadla, kodvwa bangandzi, ngobe bamshiyile Simakadze,

11batinikela ebugwadleni, nasewayinini lelisha nalelidzala, lokususa kucondza

12kwebantfu bami. Indlela bayibuta etithicweni tetigodvo, baphendvulwe yindvuku yelugodvo. Umoya webugwadla uyabedukisa; abaketsembeki kuNkulunkulu wabo.

13Banikela imihlatjelo eticongweni tetintsaba, bashise iminikelo emagcumeni, ngaphansi kwema-okhi, nangaphansi kwemabhabhabhulomu nematherebinte, lapho kunemtfunti lomnandzi khona. Ngako-ke emadvodzakati enu agucukela ebugwadleni, nabomalukatane benu baphinga.

14“Ngingeke ngiwajezise emadvodzakati enu nase angenela bugwadla, nabomalukatane benu ngingeke ngibajezise nase baphinga, ngobe ngiwo lamadvodza, ngisho labaphristi cobo lwabo, labesukelana naletingwababane, bente umhlatjelo netingwababane tasethempelini. Sive lesingenakucondza siyawubhubha!

15“Awu Israyeli, nome sewuphinga kangaka nje, ningamenti Juda abe nelicala naye. “Ningayi eGilgali; ningayi eBhethi Aveni. Ningafungi futsi nitsi: ‘Kuphila kwaSimakadze!’

16Ema-Israyeli anenkhani, anjengesitfokati lesinenkhani. Pho, Simakadze angabelusa kanjani njengemazinyane etimvu lasedlelweni?

17Efrayimu utihlanganise netithico; myekeleni khona lapho!

18Nome ngabe tinatfo tabo setiphelile, bayachubeka nebugwadla babo; baholi babo batitsandza kakhulu tindlela tabo telihlazo.

19Siwunguwungwana siyawubakhukhula sibalahle khashane, nemihlatjelo yabo iyawubatsela ngelihlazo.”
