1 Ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi futhi lisithi:

2 Ndodana yomuntu, misa ubuso bakho bumelene lentaba iSeyiri, uprofethe umelene layo,

3 uthi kuyo: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, ngimelane lawe, wena ntaba yeSeyiri, njalo ngizakwelula isandla sami simelene lawe, ngikwenze ube lunxiwa lencithakalo.

4 Ngizakwenza imizi yakho ibe lunxiwa, wena-ke ube yincithakalo; njalo uzakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.

5 Ngoba waba lenzondo engapheliyo, wathululela abantwana bakoIsrayeli emandleni enkemba ngesikhathi sokuhlupheka kwabo, ngesikhathi sesiphambeko sokuphela;

6 ngakho, kuphila kwami, itsho iNkosi uJehova, isibili ngizakulungiselela igazi, legazi lizakuzingela; ngoba ungalizondanga igazi, igazi lizakuzingela.

7 Njalo ngizakwenza intaba yeSeyiri ibe yincithakalo lonxiwa, ngiqume kiyo odlulayo lophendukayo.

8 Ngigcwalise intaba zayo ngababuleweyo bayo; amaqaqa akho, lezihotsha zakho, layo yonke imifula yakho, ababuleweyo ngenkemba bazakuwa kukho.

9 Ngizakwenza ube ngamanxiwa aphakade, lemizi yakho kayiyikuhlalwa; khona uzakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.

10 Ngoba uthi: Lezizizwe ezimbili lala amazwe amabili kuzakuba ngokwami, sidle ilifa lakho; lanxa iNkosi ibikhona lapho;

11 ngakho, kuphila kwami, itsho iNkosi uJehova, lami ngizakwenza ngokolaka lwakho lanjengokomhawu wakho owakusebenzisayo ngenzondo yakho umelene labo; ngizenze ngaziwe phakathi kwabo, lapho sengikwahlulele.

12 Khona uzakwazi ukuthi mina Nkosi ngizwile zonke izithuko zakho owazikhuluma umelene lezintaba zakoIsrayeli usithi: Zichithekile, sizinikiwe zibe yikudla.

13 Ngokunjalo lizikhulisile limelene lami ngomlomo wenu, landisa amazwi enu limelene lami; mina ngizwile.

14 Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Njengokwentokozo yelizwe lonke, ngizakwenza ube yincithakalo.

15 Njengoba lathokoza ngelifa lendlu kaIsrayeli ngenxa yokuthi lichitheka, ngokunjalo ngizakwenza kuwe; uzakuba yincithakalo, wena ntaba yeSeyiri, leEdoma yonke, yona yonke. Khona bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.
