Isiphrofethi Ngokumelana Lenkosi YaseThire
1 Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi: 2 “Ndodana yomuntu, tshono kumbusi waseThire uthi, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi:
Ngokuzigqaja kwenhliziyo yakho
uthi, “Ngingunkulunkulu;
ngihlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sikankulunkulu
enzikini yezilwandle.”
Kodwa wena ungumuntu hatshi uNkulunkulu,
lanxa ucabanga ukuthi uhlakaniphe njengoNkulunkulu.
3 Kambe uhlakaniphile kuloDanyeli na?
Akulamfihlo esithekileyo kuwe na?
4 Ngenhlakanipho yakho lokuqedisisa
uzizuzele inotho
njalo wabuthela igolide lesiliva
eziphaleni zengcebo yakho.
5 Ngolwazi lwakho olukhulu ekuthengiseni
uyandisile inotho yakho,
njalo ngenxa yenotho yakho,
inhliziyo yakho isizigqaja.
6 Ngakho nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi:
Njengoba ucabanga ukuthi uhlakaniphile,
uhlakaniphe njengoNkulunkulu,
7 ngizaletha abezizweni ukuba bamelane lawe,
izizwe ezilesihluku kakhulu;
zizahwatsha inkemba zazo zimelane lobuhle bakho
kanye lenhlakanipho,
zone lobuhle bakho obukhazimulayo.
8 Zizakwehlisela phansi egodini,
njalo uzakufa kabuhlungu
enzikini yezilwandle.
9 Lapho-ke uzakutsho na phambi kwalabo abakubulalayo ukuthi,
“Mina ngingunkulunkulu?”
Uzakuba ngumuntu nje, hatshi unkulunkulu,
ezandleni zalabo abakubulalayo.
10 Uzakufa ukufa kwabangasokanga
ezandleni zabezizweni.
Sengikhulumile, kutsho uThixo Wobukhosi.’ ”
11 Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi: 12 “Ndodana yomuntu, khala isililo ngenkosi yaseThire uthi kuyo: ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi:
Wawuyisibonelo sokuphelela
ugcwele inhlakanipho lobuhle obupheleleyo.
13 Wawuse-Edeni
isivande sikaNkulunkulu;
waceca ngawo wonke amatshe aligugu:
irubhi, lethophazi le-emeralidi,
ikhrisolithe, i-onikisi lejaspa,
isafire, ithukhwayizi lebherili.
Izibonakaliso zakho lezisekelo kwakwenziwe ngegolide;
kwalungiswa ngosuku owadalwa ngalo.
14 Wagcotshwa njengekherubhi elondlayo,
ngoba ngakumisela lokho.
Wawuphezu kwentaba engcwele kaNkulunkulu;
wahamba phakathi kwamatshe avutha umlilo.
15 Wawungelasici ezindleleni zakho
kusukela ngosuku owadalwa ngalo
ububi baze bafunyanwa kuwe.
16 Ngenxa yokuthengisa kwakho ezindaweni ezinengi
wagcwala udlakela,
wasusona.
Ngakho ngakususa njengehlazo entabeni kaNkulunkulu,
njalo ngakuxotsha, wena kherubhi elondlayo,
phakathi kwamatshe avutha umlilo.
17 Inhliziyo yakho yazigqaja
ngenxa yobuhle bakho,
njalo wonakalisa inhlakanipho yakho
ngenxa yobucwazicwazi bakho.
Ngakho ngakuphosela emhlabeni;
ngakwenza umbukiso phambi kwamakhosi.
18 Ngezono zakho ezinengi lokuthengisa lobuqili
usungcolise izindawo zakho ezingcwele.
Ngakho ngaphemba umlilo phakathi kwakho
wakutshisa wakuqeda,
njalo ngakwenza waba ngumlotha emhlabathini
phambi kwabo bonke ababekhangele.
19 Zonke izizwe ezazikwazi
zithithibele ngawe;
usufike ekucineni okwesabekayo
njalo kawuyikuba khona futhi.’ ”
Isiphrofethi Ngokumelana LeSidoni
20 Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi: 21 “Ndodana yomuntu, khangelisa ubuso bakho eSidoni; uphrofithe okubi ngalo 22 uthi: ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi:
Ngimelana lawe, wena Sidoni,
njalo ngizathola udumo phakathi kwakho.
Bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo
lapho sengiletha isijeziso kulo
njalo ngizibonakalisa ngingongcwele phakathi kwalo.
23 Ngizathumela isifo kulo,
ngenze igazi ligeleze ezindleleni zalo.
Abafileyo bazakuba phakathi kwalo,
inkemba imelane lalo amacele wonke.
Lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo.
24 Abantu bako-Israyeli kabasayikuba labomakhelwane abalenhliziyo ezimbi njalo abangameva abuhlungu lameva ahlabayo. Lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo Wobukhosi.
25 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi: Lapho sengiqoqa abantu bako-Israyeli ezizweni ababehlakazelwe kuzo, ngizazibonakalisa ngingongcwele phakathi kwabo phambi kwezizwe. Emva kwalokho bazahlala elizweni labo, engalinika inceku yami uJakhobe. 26 Bazahlala kulo bevikelekile njalo bazakwakha izindlu bahlanyele lezivini; bazahlala bevikelekile lapho sengiletha isijeziso kubo bonke omakhelwane babo ababaphatha kubi. Lapho-ke bazakwazi ukuthi mina nginguThixo uNkulunkulu wabo.’ ”
