₂Ndodana yomuntu, profetha ngabelusi bakwaIsrayeli; profetha uthi kubo, kubelusi: Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Wo kubelusi bakwaIsrayeli abazibonelela bona! Abelusi bebengayikuzalusa izimvu na?

₃Niyadla amanoni, nembatha uboya, nihlaba ezikhulupheleyo, kepha izimvu anizalusi.

₄Ezibuthakathaka aniziqinisanga, negulayo aniyiphilisanga, neyaphukileyo aniyibophanga, nexoshiweyo aniyibuyisanga, nelahlekileyo aniyifunanga, kepha nizibusile ngamandla alukhuni.

₅Zazihlakazekile, ngokuba umalusi wayengekho; zaba-ngukudla kwazo zonke izilwane zasendle, zahlakazeka.

₆Izimvu zami zazulazula kuzo zonke izintaba nakuwo onke amagquma aphakemeyo, yebo, izimvu zami zazihlakazekele ebusweni bonke bomhlaba, akwabakho ozifunayo nozicingayo.

₇Ngalokho, belusi, zwanini izwi likaJehova lokuthi:

₈Kuphila kwami, isho iNkosi uJehova, impela ngenxa yokuba izimvu zami zaba-yimpango, nangokuba izimvu zami zaba-ngukudla kwazo zonke izilwane zasendle, lokhu umalusi engekho, nangokuba abelusi bami bengafunanga izimvu zami, abelusi bezibonelela bona, bengazalusi izimvu zami,

₉ngalokho, belusi, zwanini izwi likaJehova lokuthi:

₁₀Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Bhekani, ngimelene nabelusi, ngiyakuzibiza izimvu zami esandleni sabo, ngenze ukuba bangabe besazalusa izimvu, abelusi bangabe besazibonelela bona, ngophule izimvu zami emlonyeni wabo, zingabi-ngukudla kwabo.

₁₂Njengomalusi efuna umhlambi wakhe mhla ephakathi kwezimvu zakhe ezilahlekileyo, kanjalo ngiyakufuna izimvu zami, ngizophule kuzo zonke izindawo ezihlakazekele kuzo ngosuku lwamafu nolobumnyama.

₁₃Ngiyakuzikhipha kubantu, ngiziqoqe emazweni, ngiziyise ezweni lazo, ngizaluse ezintabeni zakwaIsrayeli, ngasemifuleni, nasezindaweni zonke ezakhiweyo zezwe.

₁₄Ngiyakuzalusela emadlelweni amahle, isibaya sazo sibe-sezintabeni zempakama yakwaIsrayeli; ziyakubuthisa khona esibayeni esihle, ziklabe emadlelweni aluhlaza ezintabeni zakwaIsrayeli.

₁₅Mina ngiyakuzalusa izimvu zami, ngenze ukuba zibuthise, isho iNkosi uJehova.

₁₆Ngiyakufuna ezilahlekileyo, ngibuyise ezixoshiweyo, ngibophe ezaphukileyo, ngiqinise ezigulayo; kepha ezikhulupheleyo nezinamandla ngiyakuzichitha, ngizaluse ngokwahlulela.

₁₇Nina-ke, zimvu zami, isho iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Bheka, ngiyakwahlulela phakathi kwemvu nemvu naphakathi kwezimpongo.

₁₈Kuncane kini yini ukuklaba edlelweni elihle nize ninyathele ngezinyawo zenu okuseleyo kwedlelo lenu, nokuphuza amanzi acwebileyo nize nidunge aseleyo ngezinyawo zenu na?

₁₉Izimvu zami ziyadla okunyathelwe ngezinyawo zenu, ziphuza okudungiwe ngezinyawo zenu.

₂₀Ngalokho isho kanje iNkosi uJehova kuzo, ithi: Bhekani, mina ngiyakwahlulela phakathi kwezimvu ezikhulupheleyo nezimvu ezondileyo.

₂₁Ngokuba nisunduza ngohlangothi nangehlombe, niqhubukusha zonke ezigulayo ngezimpondo zenu, nize nizihlakazele ngaphandle,

₂₂ngiyakusindisa izimvu zami, azisayikuba-yimpango, ngahlulele phakathi kwezimvu nezimvu.

₂₆Ngiyakuzenza zona nezindawo ezizungeza intaba yami zibe-yisibusiso, ngehlise imvula ngesikhathi sayo, ibe-yizihlambi zesibusiso.

₂₇Umuthi osendle uyakuthela izithelo zawo, umhlabathi uthele ukudla kwawo, zihlale zilondekile ezweni lazo, zazi ukuthi nginguJehova, lapho sengaphulile izikeyi* zejoka lazo, ngazophula esandleni salabo ezenziwa izikhonzi yibo.

₂₈Azisayikuba-yimpango yabezizwe, nesilwane somhlaba asiyikuzidla, kepha ziyakuhlala zilondekile, zingesatshiswamuntu.

₂₉Ngiyakuzivusela insimu edumileyo; azisayikususwa yindlala ezweni, zingasalithwali ihlazo labezizwe.

₃₀Ziyakwazi ukuthi mina-Jehova uNkulunkulu wazo nginazo nokuthi zona, indlu yakwaIsrayeli, zingabantu bami, isho iNkosi uJehova.

₃₁Nina niyizimvu zami, niyizimvu zedlelo lami; ningabantu, mina nginguNkulunkulu wenu, isho iNkosi uJehova.
