Chuin, Pakaiyin asei bang chun, keima beldengpan kang apeija pontho tah’a bel asempet katoh in ahi.
4 Kodwa imbiza ayeyibumba ngebumba yonakala ezandleni zakhe; ngakho umbumbi wayenza yaba ngenye imbiza, ngendlela ayibona ingcono kuye.
Aman abel denchu, adeibang tah’a asodoh louteng, bellei chun asugoiyin, thilchom in asemdoh jitai.
5 Ilizwi likaThixo laselifika kimi lisithi;
Pakaiyin kahenga hitin aseiye,
6 “Wena ndlu ka-Israyeli, ngingeze ngenza kuwe njengokwenziwa ngumbumbi lo na?” kutsho uThixo. “Njengebumba esandleni sombumbi lawe unjalo esandleni sami, wena ndlu ka-Israyeli.

7 Nxa ngimemezela langasiphi isikhathi ukuthi isizwe loba umbuso uzasuswa udilizwe, uchithwe,
Keiman namkhat ham ahiloule lenggam khat ham chu, ajung bodoh’a suhmang ding kati teng,
8 kuthi isizwe leso engisixwayisileyo siphenduke ebubini baso, ngizaxola ngingabe ngisasehlisela ebesengimise ukusehlisela khona.
Hiche nam mite chun, agitlounauva kon’a lung ahin heikituva, ahung kilehei kit ule; Keiman achunguva boldinga kagelhuhsa thilsea kon’a, kalung kakhel kitding ahi.
9 Njalo nxa ngesinye isikhathi ngimemezela ukuthi isizwe kumbe umbuso ngizawakha ngiwumise,
Alangkhat a, namkhat ham ahiloule lenggam khat ham chu, kasemphat a kaphudet ding ahi tia, kaphondohsa ahitai.
10 ube ususenza ububi emehlweni ami njalo ungangilaleli, ngizacabanga kutsha ngokuhle ebesengicebe ukukwenzela khona.
Ahivanga, hiche mite chun, kamitmua thilse leh thilphalou abol uva, kathusei angailou ule, kalung kakhelkit jing ding, phatthei kabohlou heldiu ahi, ati.
11 Ngakho khathesi tshela abantu bakoJuda lalabo abahlala eJerusalema uthi, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: Khangelani! Ngilungisela ukulehlisela umonakalo njalo ngibumba lecebo ngani. Ngakho phendukani ezindleleni zenu ezimbi, omunye lomunye wenu, lilungise izindlela zenu lezenzo zenu.’

12 Kodwa bazaphendula bathi, ‘Akusizi lutho. Sizaqhubeka ngamacebo ethu; lowo lalowo wethu uzalandela ubulukhuni benhliziyo yakhe embi.’”
Ahinlah amahon adonbut uvin, “Hichu pannabei naphat mansah ahibouve. Keiho kalungtah nom ule lungtah ungting, thilse kadei ule kadei dei boltah tangu, ipi khoh am?’’ atiuve.
13 Ngakho uThixo uthi: “Buzani phakathi kwezizwe ukuthi: Ngubani owake wezwa okunjengalokhu na? Kwenziwe into eyesabekayo kakhulu, yenziwe yintombi egcweleyo u-Israyeli.
Hijeh chun Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Namtin vaipi lah’a jong gadong leuvin. Hitobang thuhi ahekha koi um am? Kachanu deitah Israel in thil kidah um tahtah aboltai.
14 Ungqwaqwane waseLebhanoni uyake unyamalale emithezukweni yayo elamatshe na? Amanzi akhona aqandayo avela kude ayake eme ukugeleza na?
Lebanon molsang vum’a buhbang beikha a, chule gamla tah a hiche molsang ho’a kon’a hung longdoh twidapjen vadung ho kang kha am?

20 Okuhle kuphindiselwa ngokubi na? Ikanti sebengimbele igodi. Khumbula ukuba ngema phambi kwakho ngabakhulumela ukuba ususe ulaka lwakho kubo.
Thilpha chu thilsea kilethuh angai mong ham? Amahon kathina ding kokhuh alaiyun, kenla amaho dingin na-ang sunga taona kaneiyun; Achunguva nalunghan achuh lou nadin kappum in kataopeh in ahi. Nangin hingeldoh tei teiyin.
21 Ngakho-ke abantwababo banikele endlaleni; ubaqhubele emandleni enkemba. Abafazi babo kabangabi labantwana njalo babe ngabafelokazi; amadoda abo kawabulawe, amajaha akhona abulawe ngenkemba empini.
Hijeh chun, achateu kel thohsah inlang, Amaho abonchauvin chemjam in lousah in. Ajinuteu cha neilouvin abonchauvin meithai soh uhen, Tehse hou natna in thiu hen, chule golhang ho galmun’a chemjam in satgam uhen.
22 Kakuzwakale ukukhala ezindlini zabo, lapho usulethe abahlaseli ukuba babajume, ngoba sebegebhe igodi ukuba bangithumbe njalo bathiya inyawo zami ngemijibila.
Hetman louvin, amaho chu gal miten lhunkhum uhen, A-injouseuva ka le mao ogin kijasoh kei hen. Ajeh chu amahon keima thina ding kokhuh alaiyun, chule kalam lhahna-a thang akam leleuve.
23 Kodwa uyawazi, wena Thixo, wonke amaqhinga abo okungibulala. Ungabathetheleli amacala abo loba ucitshe izono zabo phambi kobuso bakho. Kabachithwe phambi kwakho; bahlasele ngesikhathi sokuthukuthela kwakho.
Vo Pakai, kei thana dinga athilgon’u abonchan nangman nahei. Athilse bol’u chulnampih hih in, chule achonsetnau jong ngaidam hih beh in. Nalunghan nachun amaho hi bolgim inlang, na-ang sunga thisah jeng in, kati ahi.
