Ukuxwayiswa kwabacindezeli
1 Wo! kwabaceba ububi,
benze okubi emibhedeni yabo!
Ekukhanyeni kokusa bayakwenza,
ngokuba kusemandleni ezandla zabo.
2 Bafisa amasimu, bawadluzule,
nezindlu, bazisuse;
bacindezela indoda nendlu yayo,
umuntu nefa lakhe.
3Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova, uthi:
“Bhekani, ngiceba okubi ngalo mndeni,
eningayikukhipha kukho izintamo zenu;
futhi ningahambi ngokuzidla,
ngokuba lokhu kuyisikhathi esibi.
4 Ngalolo suku bayakuphakamisa umfanekiso ngani,
bakhale isililo, bathi:
‘Sichithiwe nokuchithwa;
isabelo sabantu bami sinikwa omunye;
yeka ukubuya kwakhe kimi;
abahlubuki babelwa amasimu ethu.’ ”
5Ngalokho akuyikubakho ophonsa intambo ngenkatho
ebandleni likaJehova.
6 “Ningaprofethi,” baprofetha,
basho njalo,
“ningaprofethi ngalokho;
ihlazo aliyikusifica.”
7Kuyakushiwo, nina ndlu kaJakobe,
ukuthi uMoya kaJehova unyinyekile;
yizenzo zakhe lezi na?
“Awamahle yini amazwi ami kohamba ngobuqotho?
8Kepha kade bevukile abantu bami baba yizitha;
nihlubula ingubo esambathweni sabadlula ngethemba,
befulathele ukulwa.
9Niyaxosha abesifazane babantu bami ezindlini zokuthokoza kwabo,
nisusa ezinganeni zabo ubukhosi bami kuze kube phakade.
10 Sukumani nihambe,
ngokuba lokhu akusikho ukuphumula kwenu;
ngenxa yabayingcosana niyachitha ngokuchitha okunamandla.
11 Uma bekuhambahamba umuntu
okhuluma umoya nje namanga, athi:
‘Ngiyakuprofetha kuwe ngewayini nangophuzo olunamandla,’
ubeyakuba ngumprofethi walaba bantu.
12 “Ngiyakukubutha, Jakobe, wonke wakho;
ngiyakuqoqa nokuqoqa insali yakwa-Israyeli;
ngiyakubabeka ndawonye njengezimvu zaseBosira,
njengomhlambi phakathi kwedlelo lawo,
kwenziwe ukukhamuluka okuvela kubantu.
13 Umfohli ukhuphuka ngaphambi kwabo;
sebefohlile, badlulela esangweni,
baphuma ngalo;
inkosi yabo idlulile phambi kwabo,
noJehova usesihlokweni sabo.”
