Ilizwi leNkosi elafika kuZefaniya, indodana kaKushi, indodana kaGedaliya, indodana kaAmariya, indodana kaHezekhiya, ezinsukwini zikaJosiya, indodana kaAmoni, inkosi yakoJuda.

Ngizaqeda umuntu lenyamazana, ngiqede izinyoni zamazulu, lezinhlanzi zolwandle, lezikhubekiso kanye lababi, ngiqume umuntu asuke ebusweni bomhlaba, itsho iNkosi.
4 Judah tami, Jerusalem kho e taminaw hah kai ni ka tuk vaiteh kacawirae Baal hnukkâbang e hoi vaihmanaw pueng hai ka raphoe han.
Futhi ngizakwelulela isandla sami phezu kukaJuda, laphezu kwabo bonke abahlali beJerusalema, ngiqume insali kaBhali isuke kulindawo, ibizo lamaKhemarimi kanye labapristi;
5 Kalvan e hnonaw hah lemphu hoi ka bawk e naw, cathut hoi Molek cathut lawkkam laihoi ka bawk e naw hai thoseh,
lalabo abakhonza ibutho lamazulu phezu kwezimpahla zezindlu; lalabo abakhonza bafunge ngeNkosi, njalo bafunge ngoMalikamu,
6 Cathut hnukkâbang laipalah hnuk kamlang e tami, Cathut tawng hoeh, ka pacei hoeh e taminaw puenghai ka raphoe han.
lababuyela emuva ekuyilandeleni iNkosi, labangayidinganga iNkosi, bengayibuzanga.
7 Bawipa Jehovah e hmalah sairasuep lah awm awh haw, BAWIPA e hnin teh a hnai toe. BAWIPA ni amae thuengnae hah rakueng vaiteh hote pawi thung kâen e pueng teh thoungsak lah ao han.
Thula ebukhoneni beNkosi uJehova; ngoba usuku lweNkosi luseduze; ngoba iNkosi ilungisile umhlatshelo, yangcwelisa abanxusiweyo bayo.
8 BAWIPA e thuengnae hnin navah siangpahrangnaw, hoi a miphunnaw hoi ka talue lah kamthoupnaw pueng hah a rek han.
Kuzakuthi-ke ngosuku lomhlatshelo weNkosi ngijezise iziphathamandla, lamadodana enkosi, labo bonke abagqoke izigqoko zabezizwe.
9 Ayâ e im longkha ka tapuet ni teh ayâ ka hnephnap e, ayâ dumyen laihoi hmu e hnopai hoi a bawipa e im kakawi sak e tami puenghai hote hnin navah lawk ka ceng han.
Langalolosuku ngizajezisa bonke abeqa phezu kombundu, abagcwalisa indlu yamakhosi abo ngodlakela langenkohliso.
10 BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, hote hnin navah tanga longkha koevah hramnae lawk thoseh, apâhni e khopui dawk khuikanae lawk thoseh, monrui dawk puenghoi raphoenae lawk thoseh ka thai.
Langalolosuku, itsho iNkosi, kuzakuba lelizwi lokukhala livela esangweni lenhlanzi, lokuqhinqa isililo kuvela kwelesibili, lokufohloza okukhulu kuvela emaqaqeni.
11 Maktesh taminaw, khuikap awh haw. Hnopai kayawtnaw pueng teh awm hoeh toe. Tangka kasinnaw pueng teh koung a due awh toe.
Qhinqani isililo, lina bahlali beMaketeshi, ngoba bonke abantu abathengisayo baqunyelwe phansi; bonke abathwala isiliva baqunyiwe.
12 Hatnae tueng nah, kai ni hmaiim ka sin vaiteh Jerusalem hah lawk ka ceng han. BAWIPA ni hawinae sak hoeh, yon hai na pen hoeh telah a pouk awh teh, amae thoe hoi hawi a sak awh e patetlah lawk a ceng han.
Kuzakuthi-ke ngalesosikhathi ngihlole iJerusalema ngezibane, ngijezise amadoda ajiyileyo ezinzeceni zawo, athi enhliziyweni yawo: INkosi kayiyikwenza okuhle, futhi kayiyikwenza okubi.
13 Ahnimae hno teh ayâ ni a lawp vaiteh, a onae hmuen dawk tami kingdi han. Im a sak awh han, hatei awm awh nah mahoeh. Misur a ung awh han, hatei misur net awh mahoeh.
Ngakho inotho yabo izakuba yimpango, lezindlu zabo zibe lunxiwa. Futhi bazakwakha izindlu, kodwa bangahlali kuzo; njalo bazahlanyela izivini, kodwa banganathi iwayini lazo.
14 BAWIPA e hnin pui teh a hnai toe. A hnai toe. Karang lah ka tho han BAWIPA e hnin kamthang teh hnâ dawkvah akha. hote hnin navah, athakaawme tami ni a hram han.
Usuku olukhulu lweNkosi luseduze, luseduze, luyaphangisa kakhulu; ilizwi losuku lweNkosi; iqhawe lizakhala khona kabuhlungu.
15 Hote hnin teh lungkhueknae hnin, lungpuen tâsuenae kâhmonae hnin, rawkphainae hnin, angnae a kahma teh hmonae hnin, khopâui teh tâmai muen a tabonae hnin,
Lolosuku lusuku lolaka, usuku lokuhlupheka losizi, usuku lwencithakalo lokuchitheka, usuku lomnyama lobumnyama, usuku lwamayezi lobumnyama obunzima,
16 Kacake khopui hoi karasang e imrasangnaw koe lah mongka kâhruetcuetnae ueng teh hramnae hnin lah ao han.
usuku lophondo lolomkhosi omelene lemizi ebiyelwe ngemithangala, lolumelene lezingonsi eziphakemeyo.
17 Ahnimouh ni BAWIPA koe a yon awh dawkvah, kai ni ahnimouh ka rektap vaiteh tami a mit ka dawn e patetlah a cei awh han. Ahnimae a thi teh vaiphu patetlah rabawk awh vaiteh a moi hai ei patetlah a pouk awh han.
Njalo ngizabacindezela abantu, ukuze bahambe njengeziphofu, ngoba bonile eNkosini; legazi labo lizathululwa njengothuli, lenyama yabo njengobulongwe.
18 BAWIPA e lungkhueknae hnin navah, ahnimae sui ngun ni hai rungngang thai awh mahoeh. A lungkhueknae hmai ni ram abuemlah a kak han. Khocanaw puenghai karanglah lawkceng vaiteh koung a pâmit han.
Lesiliva sabo legolide labo kakuyikuba lakho ukubakhulula ngosuku lolaka lweNkosi; kodwa ilizwe lonke lizaqedwa ngumlilo wobukhwele bayo; ngoba izaqeda, ngitsho ngesiphangiphangi, ngabo bonke abahlali belizwe.
