2 Ngoba labo lengikhuluma ngabo ngulabo labasengakaliva livi lami; noma lengingakaze nangasiphi sikhatsi ngitibonakalise kubo.
3 Kodvwa ngitfole umyaleto lovela kuBabe wekutsi ngihambe ngiye kubo, nekutsi bayawuliva livi lami, futsi bayawubalwa kanye netimvu tami, kute kube khona umhlambi munye kanye nemelusi munye; ngako-ke ngiyahamba ngiyawutibonakalisa kubo.
4 Ngiyaniyaleta kutsi niwabhale lamavi emvakwekube sengihambile, kute kutsi uma kwenteka kutsi bantfu bami eJerusalema, labo labangibonile futsi baba nami ebufundisini bami, bangaceli kuBabe egameni lami, kute batfole lwati ngani ngaMoya loNgcwele, kanjalo nangaletinye tive labangatati, kute kutsi lamavi leniyawuwabhala agcinwe futsi abonakaliswe kubo beTive, kute kutsi ngekuphelela kwebeTive, insali yentalelwane yabo, leyawube ihlakateke mhlaba wonkhe ngenca yekungakholwa kwabo, iletfwe, noma iletfwe ekwatini mine, uMhlengi wabo.
5 Ngaleso sikhatsi ngitawuyigcogca emagumbini lamane emhlaba; futsi ngaleso sikhatsi ngitawusigcwalisa sivumelwano Babe lasenta kubo bonkhe bantfu bendlu yaka-Israyeli.
6 Futsi babusisiwe beTive, ngenca yekukholwa kwabo kimi, kanye nakuMoya loNgcwele, lofakaza kubo ngami kanye nangaBabe.
7 Bukani, ngenca yekukholwa kwabo kimi, kusho Babe, nangenca yekungakholwa kwenu, Awu nine bendlu yaka-Israyeli, ngetinsuku tekugcina liciniso liyawukuta kubeTive, kutsi kuphelela kwaletintfo kuyawukwembulwa kubo.
8 Kodvwa maye, kusho Babe, kulabangakholwa beTive—ngoba nanoma sebete ngaphambili eveni lonkhe, futsi bahlakata bantfu bami lababendlu yaka-Israyeli; futsi bantfu bami lababendlu yaka-Israyeli bakhishelwe ngephandle kubo, bagcotjwagcotjwa ngaphansi kwetinyawo ngibo.
9 Futsi ngenca yesihawu saBabe kubeTive, ngetulu kwaloko netehlulelo taBabe kubantfu bami lababendlu yaka-Israyeli, ngicinisile, ngicinisile, ngitsi kini, emvakwakokonkhe loku, ngente bantfu bami lababendlu yaka-Israyeli kutsi bashaywe, bahlushwe, babulawe, nekutsi bakhishwelwe ngephandle emkhatsini wabo, nekutsi batondvwe ngibo, futsi babe yinhlekisa kanye nentfo yekwedzelelwa emkhatsini wabo—
10 Ngaleyondlela Babe ungiyalete kutsi ngitsi kini: Ngalolosuku lapho beTive bayawukona ngalokumelene nelivangeli lami, balahle livangeli leliphelele lami, batikhukhumete etinhlitiyweni tabo ngetulu kwetive tonkhe, nangetulu kwebantfu bonkhe bemhlaba wonkhe, bagcwale tonkhe tinhlobo temanga, netenkhohliso, nekuganga, kanye nato tonkhe tinhlobo tekutentisa, netekubulala, netebuphristi-mbumbulu, netebugwadla, kanye netinengiso letiyimfihlo; uma bayawukweta tonkhe letintfo, balilahle livangeli leliphelele lami, bukani, kusho Babe, ngiyawulitsatsa livangeli lami leliphelele emkhatsini wabo.
11 Futsi ngaleso sikhatsi ngiyawusikhumbula sivumelwano sami lengasenta kubantfu bami, Awu nine bendlu yaka-Israyeli, ngiyawuliletsa livangeli lami kubo.
12 Futsi ngiyawukukhombisa, Awu nine bendlu yaka-Israyeli, kutsi beTive angeke babe nemandla ngetulu kwakho; kodvwa ngiyawusikhumbula sivumelwano sami kuwe, Awu nine bendlu yaka-Israyeli, futsi uyakuba nelwati loluphelele ngelivangeli lami.
13 Kodvwa uma beTive batawuphendvuka babuyele kimi, kusho Babe, bukani bayawubalwa kanye nebantfu bami, Awu nine bendlu yaka-Israyeli.
14 Futsi angeke ngivumele bantfu bami, lababendlu yaka-Israyeli, kutsi bahambe badzabule emkhatsini wabo, babagcobagcobe phansi, kusho Babe.
15 Kodvwa uma bangeke baphendvukele kimi, futsi balalele livi lami, ngitawubavumela, yebo ngitawubavumela bantfu bami, Awu nine bendlu yaka-Israyeli, kutsi bahambe badzabule emkhatsini wabo, babagcobagcobe phansi, futsi bayawuba njengeluswayi loselulahlekelwe bunandzi balo, lolutsi kusuka ngaleso sikhatsi lungasasiti ngalutfo kodvwa kutsi lulahlwe ngaphandle, lunyatselwe ngaphansi kwetinyawo tebantfu bami, Awu nine bendlu yaka-Israyeli.
16 Ngicinisile, ngicinisile, ngitsi kini, Babe ungiyalete kanjalo—kutsi nginike labantfu lendzawo kube lifa labo.
17 Ngaleso sikhatsi emavi emphrofethi Isaya ayawugcwaliseka, atsi:
18 Balindzi bakho bayawumemeta; ngelivi kanyekanye bayawuhlabela, ngoba bayawutibonela ngewabo emehlo ngesikhatsi iNkhosi iphindze ibuyisa iSiyoni.
19 Hlokomani ngenjabulo, hlabelani kanyekanye, nine tindzawo letitindzala taseJerusalema; ngoba iNkhosi ibadvudvutile bantfu bayo, iyihlengile iJerusalema.
20 INkhosi iwembulile umkhono wayo longcwele emehlweni etive tonkhe; futsi yonkhe imikhawulo yemhlaba iyawubona insindziso yaNkulunkulu.
