Ibhanti LeLineni

1UThixo wathi kimi: “Hamba uyethenga ibhanti lelineni ubophe ukhalo lwakho ngalo, kodwa lingathinti amanzi.”2Ngakho ngathenga ibhanti, njengokulaya kukaThixo, ngabopha ukhalo lwami ngalo.3Ilizwi likaThixo labuya lafika kimi ngokwesibili lathi:4“Thatha ibhanti olithengileyo obophe ngalo ukhalo lwakho, uye eYufrathe, khathesi nje ulifihle khona eminkenkeni yamatshe.”5Ngakho ngahamba ngayalifihla eYufrathe, njengokutsho kukaThixo kimi.6Sekudlule insuku ezinengi uThixo wathi kimi, “Hamba khathesi eYufrathe uyethatha ibhanti engathi lifihle khona.”7Ngakho ngaya eYufrathe ngagebha lapho engangifihle khona ibhanti, kodwa laselonakele impela lingaselasizo.8Lapho-ke kwafika ilizwi likaThixo kimi lisithi:9“UThixo uthi: ‘Ngendlela efanayo ngizakuchitha ukuzigqaja kukaJuda lokuzigqaja okukhulu kweJerusalema.10Lababantu abangalunganga, abalayo ukulalela amazwi ami, abalandela ubulukhuni bezinhliziyo zabo badinge abanye onkulunkulu ukuba babasebenzele njalo babakhonze, bazakuba njengebhanti leli, bengelasizo loluncane!11Ngoba njengebhanti libopha ukhalo lomuntu, ngayibophela kanjalo kimi yonke indlu ka-Israyeli layo yonke indlu kaJuda, kutsho uThixo, ukuba babengabantu bami ngenxa yodumo lwami, ukubongwa lokudunyiswa. Kodwa kabalalelanga.’ ”

Izikhumba Zewayini

12“Batshele uthi, ‘UThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi, zonke izikhumba zewayini kumele zigcwaliswe ngewayini.’ Bona bangathi kuwe, ‘Kanti thina kasikwazi yini ukuthi izikhumba zonke kumele zigcwaliswe ngewayini?’13wena uthi kubo, ‘UThixo uthi: Ngizabenza badakwe bonke abahlala kulelilizwe, kanye lamakhosi ahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavida, abaphristi, abaphrofethi labo bonke abahlala eJerusalema.14Ngizabamahlaza omunye komunye, oyise lamadodana ngokufananayo, kutsho uThixo. Angiyikuvumela isihawu loba umusa kumbe uzwelo ukuba kungivimbele ukubabhubhisa.’ ”

Isisongo Sokuthunjwa

15Zwanini lilalele,lingazigqaji,ngoba uThixo usekhulumile.16Dumisani uThixo uNkulunkulu wenuengakalethi ubumnyama,inyawo zenu zingakakhubekiemaqaqeni asesembeswa yibumnyama.Lilindele ukukhanya,kodwa yena uzakwenza kube yibumnyama,akuphendule kube yibumnyama obesabekayo.17Kodwa nxa lingalaleli,ngizakhalela ensithangenxa yokuzigqaja kwenu;amehlo ami azalila kabuhlungu,ageleze inyembezi,ngoba umhlambi kaThixo uzathunjwa.
18Tshono enkosini lasendlovukazini uthi,“Yehlani ezihlalweni zenu zobukhosi lize phansi,ngoba imiqhele yenu emihle kakhuluizakuwa emakhanda enu.”19Amadolobho aseNegebi azavalwa,njalo akuyikuba khona ozawavula.UJuda wonke uzathathwa asiwe ekuthunjweni,uzasiwa ekuthunjweni ngokupheleleyo.
20Phakamisani amehlo enu libonelabo abavela enyakatho.Ungaphi umhlambi ababewugcinisiwe,izimvu elalizazisa ngazo na?21Lizakuthini lapho uThixo esebabeka phezu kwenulabo elabenza babangabangane benu abaqakathekileyo na?Kaliyikubanjwa yibuhlunguobufana lobowesifazane ehelelwa na?22Njalo nxa uzibuza usithi,“Kungani lokhu kwenzakele kimi na?”Kungenxa yezono zakho ezinengiukuthi izidwaba zakho zidatshulwelomzimba wakho waphathwa kubi.23UmTopiya angaliguqula yini ijwabu lakheloba ingwe iguqule amabala ayo na?Lani lingeke lenze okuhlelina selajwayela ukwenza okubi.
24“Ngizalihlakaza njengamakhobaephetshulwa ngumoya wasenkangala.25Lokhu yikho okungokwenu,isabelo engilimisele sona,” kutsho uThixo,“ngoba lingikhohliwelathemba onkulunkulu bamanga.26Ngizaphekulela izidwaba zakho ebusweni bakhoukuba kubonakale ihlazo lakho,27ubufebe bakho lokububuliswa yisigwebo,ukufeba kwakho ungelanhloni!Ngizibonile izenzo zakho ezenyanyekayophezu kwamaqaqa lasegangeni.Maye kuwe, wena Jerusalema!Koze kube nini ungahlambulukanga na?”
