1Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova wemikhosi kum, lisithi:

2Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Ndinekhwele ngeZiyon, ikhwele elikhulu;

3Wathi uYehova; ndibuyele eZiyon; ndiya kuhlala eYerusalem, kuthiwe iYerusalem ngumzi wenyaniso; nentaba kaYehova wemikhosi yintaba engcwele.

4Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Kusaya kuhlala amadoda amakhulu namaxhegokazi ezitratweni zaseYerusalem, elowo ephethe umsimelelo wakhe iminyaka emininzi;

5Kuya kuzala izitrato zomzi ngamakhwenkwe namantombazana, edlala ezitratweni zawo;

6Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Ukuba kuyinto engummangaliso emehlweni amasalela olu hlanga, kule mini yanamhlanje, kuya kuba yinto engummangaliso yini na nasemehlweni am? utsho uYehova wemikhosi.

7Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Yabonani, ndiya kubasindisa abantu bam ezweni lasempumalanga, naselizweni lasentshonalanga;

8Ndobazisa, bahlale phakathi kweYerusalem; yaye baya kuba ngabantu bam, nam ndibe nguThixo wabo ngokuthembeka nangobulungisa.

9Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Izandla zenu mazomelele, nina bawevayo la mazwi, kule mini yaphakade, ngomlomo wabaprofeti, ekusekweni kwendlu kaYehova wemikhosi; itempile yayinokwakhiwa.

10Ngokuba phambi kwaloo mihla bekungekho mvuzo wabantu, kungekho mvuzo wawungekho; nophumileyo nongenayo, akubangakho luxolo ngenxa yobubi; ngokuba ndibamisele bonke bephela, elowo alwe owakhe.

11Ngoku ke andiyi kuphinda ndibe phakathi kwamasalela esi sizwe njengokwemihla yakudala,” utsho uYehova wemikhosi.

12Ngokuba imbewu yoxolo; umdiliya wothwala isiqhamo sawo, nehlabathi linike indyebo yalo, nezulu linike umbethe walo; yaye zonke ezi zinto ndiya kuzinika intsalela yolu hlanga.

13Njengoko nisuke naba sisiqalekiso ezintlangeni, ndlu kaYuda, nani ndlu kaSirayeli! ngoko ndiya kunisindisa, nibe yintsikelelo; musani ukoyika, mazomelele izandla zenu.

14Ngokuba utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Njengoko ndakhumbulayo ukunivelela, oko ooyihlo bandingcikivayo, utsho uYehova wemikhosi, andazohlwaya ke.

15Kwakhona ndicinge ukwenza okulungileyo kwiYerusalem nakwindlu kaYuda ngale mihla; sukoyika.

16Zizo ezo izinto enifanele nizenze; Elowo uxelela ummelwane wakhe inyaniso; gwebani ngenyaniso nangoxolo emasangweni enu.

17Makungabikho namnye kuni ucinga ububi entliziyweni yakhe ngommelwane wakhe; ningathandi izifungo zobuxoki, ngokuba zonke ezi zizinto endizithiyileyo,” utsho uYehova.

18Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova wemikhosi kum, lisithi:

19Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Uzilo lweyesine inyanga, nozilo lweyesihlanu, nozilo lweyesixhenxe, nozilo lweyeshumi, kuya kuba yimihlali, nemivuyo, nemibhiyozo yemihlali endlwini kaYuda; ke ngoko thanda inyaniso noxolo.

20Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Noko ke, iintlanga nabemi bemizi emininzi baya kuza;

21Baya kuhamba abemi bomnye baye kwesinye, bathi, Masikhawuleze siye kuthandaza kuYehova, simquqele uYehova wemikhosi; Nam ndiya kuhamba.

22Ewe, iintlanga ezininzi nezizwe ezinamandla ziya kuza kumquqela uYehova wemikhosi eYerusalem, zimbongoze uYehova.

23Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Ngelo xesha aya kulithimba amadoda alishumi eelwimi zonke zeentlanga, alithabathe icwecwe lomYuda, esithi, Siya kuhamba nani, ngokuba sivile ukuba kusithiwa, ndikunye nawe.
