4 Lamalathi enu azachithwa, lamalathi enu elanga aphahlazwe, lababuleweyo benu ngibaphosele phansi phambi kwezithombe zenu.
Aritari dzenyu dzichaondomorwa uye aritari dzenyu dzezvinonhuhwira dzichaputswa; uye ndichauraya vanhu venyu pamberi pezvifananidzo zvenyu.

8 Kodwa ngizatshiya insali ukuze libe labanye abazaphepha inkemba phakathi kwezizwe lapho lizahlakazekela emazweni.
“‘Asi ndichasiya vamwe, nokuti vamwe venyu vachapunyuka pamunondo pamuchaparadzirwa pakati penyika nendudzi.
9 Labaphunyukileyo benu bazangikhumbula phakathi kwezizwe lapho abathunjelwe khona; ngoba ngidabukile ngenxa yenhliziyo yabo ephingayo, esukileyo kimi, langamehlo abo aphingayo elandela izithombe zabo. Njalo bazazenyanya ngobubi ababenzileyo kuwo wonke amanyala abo.
Ipapo vakapunyuka vachandirangarira vari pakati pendudzi kwavakaendeswa kuutapwa, kuti ndakashungurudzwa sei nemwoyo yavo youfeve, iyo yakatsauka kubva kwandiri, uye nameso avo, akachiva zvifananidzo zvavo. Vachazvisema pachavo nokuda kwezvakaipa zvavakaita nezvinyangadzo zvavo zvose.

11 Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Tshaya ngesandla sakho, utshaye phansi ngonyawo lwakho, uthi: Maye ngenxa yawo wonke amanyala amabi endlu yakoIsrayeli! ngoba bazakuwa ngenkemba, ngendlala, langomatshayabhuqe wesifo.
“‘Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha: Rovai maoko enyu pamwe chete uye mudzane-dzane netsoka dzenyu mudanidzire muchiti, “Maiwe!” nokuda kwezvakaipa zvose nezvinonyangadza zveimba yaIsraeri, nokuti vachaurayiwa nomunondo, nzara nedenda.
12 Okhatshana uzakufa ngomatshayabhuqe wesifo, loseduze uzakuwa ngenkemba, loseleyo wavinjezelwa uzakufa yindlala. Ngokunjalo ngizaphelelisa ukufutheka kwami phezu kwabo.
Ari kure achaurayiwa nedenda, uye ari pedyo achaurayiwa nomunondo, uye uyo achapona akararama, achafa nenzara. Saka ndichapedzera hasha dzangu pamusoro pavo.
13 Khona lizakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi, lapho ababuleweyo babo sebephakathi kwezithombe zabo behanqe amalathi abo, phezu kwalo lonke uqaqa olude, ezingqongeni zonke zezintaba, langaphansi kwaso sonke isihlahla esiluhlaza, langaphansi kwalo lonke i-okhi eliqatha, indawo ababenikela khona iphunga elimnandi kuzo zonke izithombe zabo.
Uye vachaziva kuti ndini Jehovha, kana vanhu vavo vakaurayiwa vari pakati pezvifananidzo zvavo zvakapoteredza aritari dzavo, napazvikomo zvose zvakakwirira napamusoro pamakomo ose, napasi pemiti yakapfumvutira nemiti yomuouki yose ina mashizha panzvimbo dzavaipira zvinonhuhwira kuzvifananidzo zvavo zvose.
14 Ngokunjalo ngizakwelulela isandla sami phezu kwabo, ngenze ilizwe libe lunxiwa, yebo, libe lunxiwa kulenkangala ngaseDibila, kuzo zonke izindawo zabo zokuhlala. Khona bezakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi.
