10 Umuntu owayemi phakathi kwezihlahla zamamiteli wasephendula wathi: Laba yibo iNkosi ebathumileyo ukuhamba besiya le lale emhlabeni.
Hagi miteli zafaramimofo amu'nompi mani'nea ne'mo'a amanage huno nasmi'ne, Ama nagara Ra Anumzamo'a ama mopafima vano huta na'a fore nehifi keho huno'ma huzmante'nea nagare.

12 Ingilosi yeNkosi yasiphendula yathi: Nkosi yamabandla, koze kube nini wena ungabi lesihawu phezu kweJerusalema laphezu kwemizi yakoJuda, osuyithukuthelele okweminyaka le engamatshumi ayisikhombisa?
Anagema higeno'a Ra Anumzamofo ankeromo'a amanage hu'ne, Monafi sondia vahe'mokizmi Ra Anumzamoka nama'a zupa Jerusalemi kumaku'ene Juda mopafima me'nea rankumataminkura kasunkura huozmante krimpa ahezmantenka vugahane? Karimpama ahezmantenkama e'nanana hago 70'a kafu evie.
13 INkosi yasiphendula ingilosi eyayikhuluma lami ngamazwi amahle, amazwi aduduzayo.

14 Ngakho ingilosi eyayikhuluma lami yathi kimi: Memeza, usithi: Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Ngilobukhwele ngeJerusalema langeZiyoni ngobukhwele obukhulu.
Ana hutegeno nagri'enema keagama hu'nea ankeromo'a amanage hu'ne, Monafinka sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie hunka ranke hunka huama huo. Jerusalemi kumaku'gu'ene Saioni kumaku'enena tusiza hu'na navesia nentoe.
15 Njalo ngiyathukuthela ngentukuthelo enkulu ngezizwe ezonwabileyo; ngoba mina ngizondile kancinyane, kodwa zona zancedisa ngasebubini.
Hagi kokankoka vahe'ma zamarimpa fruma hu'za nemani'za vahekura, tusi narimpa ahenezmantoe. Na'ankure osi'ama vaheni'ama narimpama ahezmantoge'za, zamagra razampi zamazeri haviza nehaze.

17 Phinda umemeze, usithi: Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Imizi yami isezasatshalaliswa ngokuhle; njalo iNkosi isezaduduza iZiyoni, isezayikhetha iJerusalema.

19 Ngasengisithi kuyo ingilosi eyayikhuluma lami: Kuyini lokhu? Yasisithi kimi: Lezi zimpondo ezihlakaze uJuda, uIsrayeli, leJerusalema.
Nagranema keaga nehia ankero nera anante amanage hu'na antahige'noe. Ama zana nazane hu'na antahigogeno, amanage huno kenona hu'ne, E'i pazivetamina Juda vahe'ene, Israeli vahe'ene, Jerusalemi vahe'enema zamahe panani'ma hazage'za panani'ma hu'za fre'naza pazivetamine hu'ne.
20 INkosi yasingitshengisa ingcitshi ezine.

21 Ngasengisithi: Lezi zizekwenzani? Yasikhuluma isithi: Lezi zimpondo ezihlakaze uJuda, kwaze kwangabi lomuntu ophakamisa ikhanda lakhe; kodwa lezi zize ukuzethusa, ukulahla izimpondo zabezizwe, ezaphakamisa uphondo lumelene lelizwe lakoJuda ukulihlakaza.
