1 Hagi henka mago kna ne-eankino ananknama efore'ma hanigeno'a, menima Ra Anumzamofo mono noma me'nea agonamo'a mago'a agonaramina zamagatereno onaga'a me'neno, marerisa agona megahie. Ana hu'nesige'za kokankokama ama mopafima mani'naza vahe'mo'za timo'ma evuvavama nehiaza hu'za ana agonafi evava hugahaze.

Ngezinsuku zokucina intaba yethempeli likaThixo izamiswa njengenhloko phakathi kwezintaba; izaphakanyiselwa phezu kwezintaba njalo izizwe zizabekelela zisiya kuyo.

2 Kokankokati'ma esaza vahe'mo'za amanage hugahaze. Enketa Ra Anumzamofo agonafima Israeli vahe'mokizmi Anumzamofo mono nompi vanunkeno, Agra'a avu'ava zana rempi huramisigeta, Agri kante vano hanune hu'za hugahaze. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'ma rempima huramisia kasegemo'a Saoini agonafinti atiramino vuno eno nehanigeno, Agri nanekemo'a Jerusalemi kumapinti atiramigahie.

Izizwe ezinengi zizafika zithi, “Wozani siye phezu kwentaba kaThixo, siye ethempelini likaNkulunkulu kaJakhobe. Uzasifundisa izindlela zakhe, ukuze sihambe emikhondweni yakhe.” Umthetho uzavela eZiyoni, ilizwi likaThixo livele eJerusalema.

3 Anumzamo'a vahe'mokizmi nenekea refko huno knaza zamia e'nerino, hankave vahe'ma afete moparegama umani emanima hu'naza vahe'mo'zama ha'ma hunaku'ma hanazana eri amne hugahie. Ana hanige'za vahe'mo'za bainati kazinkno zamia rukuta huza mopama rekori azota tro nehu'za, karugru keve zamia ruguta huza zafama rosesaza kazi tro hugahaze. Mago kumamo'ma otino mago kuma'ma ha'ma hunentea zana, omanesigeno ha'ma hu avu'ava zama rempima nehaza zamo'enena omanegahie.

Uzakwahlulela phakathi kwezizwe ezinengi alamule lezingxabano zezizwe ezilamandla ezindaweni ezikhatshana. Bazakhanda izinkemba zabo zibe yimihlathi yamakhuba, lemikhonto yabo ibe zingqamu zokuthena izihlahla. Isizwe asiyikuhlomela isizwe ngenkemba loba sifundele ukulwa impi futhi.

4 Ana hanigeno mago'mago vahe'mo'a agra'a krepimofo agafafine, fiki zafamofo agafafi manitere hugahie. Na'ankure mago vahe'mo'a eno eme zamazeri korora osugahie. Monafima mani'naza Sondia Vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo ama ana nanekea huvempa nehie.

Umuntu wonke uzahlala ngaphansi kwesihlahla sakhe sevini langaphansi kwesihlahla sakhe somkhiwa, njalo kakho ozabenza besabe, ngoba uThixo uSomandla usekhulumile.

5 Maka ama mopafima nemaniza vahe'mo'za zamagra'a anumza amage antetere hugazanagi, Ra Anumzana Anumzantimofo amage anteta tagra vuvava hugahune.

Zonke izizwe zingahamba ebizweni labonkulunkulu bazo; thina sizahamba ebizweni likaThixo uNkulunkulu wethu kuze kube laphakade.

6 Ra Anumzamo'a huama huno, Ana knafina Nagra agiama haviza hu'nesia vahe'ene, ru moparegama kinama ome hu'naza vahera zamazeri atru nehu'na, knazama zami'na zamazeri haviza huge'za zamasu zampima umani'naza vahe'enena ete zamazeri atru hugahue.

“Ngalolosuku,” kutsho uThixo, “ngizabutha abaqhulayo; ngizaqoqa abathunjwayo lalabo engabehlisela usizi.

7 Hagi zamagama havizama hunege'za kama vuga'ma osu'naza vahe'ma osi'ama mani'naza nagara zamazeri atru hugahue. Ana nehu'na ru kumategama kinama ome hu'za mani'naza nagamokizmia zamazeri hanavetisuge'za hanave vahe fore hugahaze. Ana nehanage'na Ra Anumzamo'na Jerusalemi kumate mani'nena Nagrania kegava huzmante vava hugahie.

Ngizakwenza abaqhulayo babe yinsalela, abaxotshwayo babe yisizwe esilamandla. UThixo uzababusa eNtabeni iZiyoni, kusukela ngalolosuku kuze kube nininini.

8 Hianagi kagra Jerusalemi kumamoka, Ra Anumzamofo vahe'mokizmi hankave vihu kegina mani'nanankino, kinima maninka kegavama nehana hankavemo'ene hihamuka'amo'enena ete kagrite egahie. Ana hanigeno kinima mani anante anante'ma huno kegavama hu'zamo'a hentofa Jerusalemi kumanifi meno vugahie.

Wena nqaba yokulinda yomhlambi, wena nqaba yeNdodakazi yeZiyoni, umbuso wakuqala uzabuyiselwa kuwe; ubukhosi buzakuza eNdodakazini yaseJerusalema.”

9 Hianagi Jerusalemi kumamoka nagafare rankea hunka krafagea nehane? Kinima manino kagri'ma kegavama hugante vahera omani'nazafi? Knare antahintahima kamino kazeri fatgoma hu vahera omani'nazafi? Hagi mago a'mo'ma mofavre ante'naku nehigeno atama negriankna huno katazamo kazeri anakinte'ne.

Kungani khathesi usukhala kakhulu, kawulankosi na? Umeluleki wakho usebhubhile na, ukuba uphathwe yibuhlungu obunjengowesifazane ohelelwayo?

10 Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahe'mota, mago a'mo'ma mofavre antenaku'ma higeno atama negrigeno omeru emeru nehuno karagi'ma riaza hiho. Na'ankure menina ran kumara atreta kama kokampi amate umanigahaze. Tamagra Babiloni moparega vuta kina ome hugahaze. Hianagi anantegatira Ra Anumzamo'a tamagu'vazino, tamagri ha' vahe'mokizami hankavefintira ete tamavregahie.

Janqula ngobuhlungu, wena Ndodakazi yeZiyoni, njengowesifazane ohelelwayo, ngoba khathesi sekumele usuke kulelidolobho uyehlala egangeni. Uzakuya eBhabhiloni; lapho ozahlengwa khona. Khonale uThixo uzakukhulula ezandleni zezitha zakho.

11 Hianagi menina ama knarera rama'a kumapi vahe'mo'za eri tru hu'za hara huramantenaku nehu'za amanage hu'za nehaze. Jerusalemi kumara eri haviza huteta, havizama haniazana kesanune hu'za nehaze.

Kodwa khathesi izizwe ezinengi zikujamele. Zithi, “Kangcoliswe, lamehlo ethu kawahawukele iZiyoni!”

12 Hianagi ana vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo antahizamo'a inankna hu'nefi antahi amara nosaze. Anumzamo'a magopi zamazeri tru huteno, witima magopi erintete'za havereti refazafuma nepazankna hunaku antahintahia retro nehuno zamazeri atru nehianagi, zamagra anazana ke'za antahi'za nosaze.

Kodwa kabayazi imicabango kaThixo; kabaliqedisisi icebo lakhe, yena obabutha njengezixha zamabele esizeni.

13 Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahe'mota otita tamagri ha' vahe'ma mani'nazana ome zamaheta zamazeri havizantfa hiho huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne. Na'ankure Nagra hankanavea tamisanugeno, tamagri hankavemo'a hankavenentake huno mago ainireti tro hu'naza pazivekna nehanigeno, tamagiamo'a bronsigna hu'nesanigeta, rama'a kumatamimpi vahera hara huzamanteta zamazeri havizantfa nehutma, havi kanteti'ma eri'naza feno zantamina eritma, maka ama mopama kegavama hu'noa Ra Anumzamo'na eme namigahaze.

“Sukuma ubhule, wena Ndodakazi yeZiyoni, ngoba ngizakupha impondo zensimbi; ngizakunika amasondo ethusi, njalo uzachoboza izizwe ezinengi.” Uzanikela kuThixo inzuzo yabo eyatholwa ngobuqili inotho yabo kuThixo womhlaba wonke.
