“Hamba ku-Ebhedi-Meleki umKhushi uthi kuye, ‘UThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi: Sekuseduze ukuba ngigcwalise amazwi ami ngedolobho leli ngokulehlisela umonakalo, hatshi ukuphumelela. Ngalesosikhathi azagcwaliseka phambi kwamehlo enu.
17 Amma zan kuɓutar da kai a wannan rana, in ji Ubangiji; ba zan ba da kai ga waɗanda kake tsoronsu ba.
Kodwa ngizakuhlenga ngalolosuku, kutsho uThixo; kawuyikunikelwa kulabo obesabayo.
18 Zan cece ka; ba za ka mutu ta wurin takobi ba amma za ka tsira da ranka, domin ka dogara gare ni, in ji Ubangiji.’”
Ngizakusindisa, kawuyikubulawa ngenkemba kodwa uzaphunyuka lokuphila kwakho, ngoba ungithembile, kutsho uThixo.’”
