| 2. | Ndodana yomuntu, bhala ibizo lalolusuku, lona lolusuku kanye, ngoba inkosi yeBhabhiloni isivimbezele iJerusalema ngalona lolusuku. |
| 3. | Utsho umfanekiso ebantwini abahlamukayo uthi: INkosi uJehova ithi: Beka imbiza eziko, ibeke, uthele lamanzi futhi, |
| 4. | uqobele inyama kiyo, wonke amaqatha amahle, ithebe lesiphanga, uyigcwalise ngamathambo amahle. |
| 5. | Thatha okuhle emhlanjini, ubuthelele inkuni ngaphansi kwayo, ukuze imbiza ibile iphuphume, kuze kuvuthwe lamathambo. |
| 6. | Ngakho-ke iNkosi uJehova ithi: Maye kuwo umuzi ogcwele igazi, kuyo imbiza ethombileyo, ukuthomba kwayo okungelakususwa! Khupha kiyo iqatha ngeqatha, ungakhethi. |
| 7. | Ngoba igazi umuzi olichithileyo lisekhona kuwo, ulithululele phezu kwedwala, kawulichithelanga phansi ukuligqibela ngenhlabathi. |
| 8. | Ukuze kuvuswe ukuthukuthela kwami, ukuze kuphindisele, ngichithele phezu kwedwala igazi olichithileyo ukuze lingagqitshelwa. |
| 9. | Ngakho iNkosi uJehova ithi: Maye kuwo umuzi ogcwele igazi! Lami ngizabasa umlilo omkhulu. |
| 10. | Faka izigodo, uwuphembe umlilo, uyipheke kuhle inyama, uthulule isinongo, uyekele amathambo atshe. |
| 11. | Ubusuyibeka phezu kwamalahle ingelalutho, ukuze itshise, kutshe ithusi layo, kuncibilike ingcekeza yayo, kuphele lokuthomba kwayo. |
| 12. | Ngizidinise ngeze, ukuthomba kwayo okunengi kakusasuki ngomlilo. |
| 13. | Ukuthomba kwayo kungamanyala enu angcolileyo. Ngoba bengithanda ukulihlambulula, kodwa kalihlambulukanga ekungcoleni kwenu, kalisayikuhlanjululwa ngize ngikholisise ukuthukuthela kwami phezu kwenu. |
| 14. | Mina Nkosi ngikhulumile. Kuzakwenzeka, ngizakwenza. Kangiyikukuyekela, kangiyikuba lesihawu, kangiyikuphenduka. Ngizakugweba ngokufanele indlela zakho lezenzo zakho, kutsho iNkosi uJehova. |
| 15. | Ilizwi le Nkosi lafika futhi kimi lathi: |
| 16. | Ndodana yomuntu, khangela, sengizasusa othandekayo kuwe ngokuphangisa; kodwa ungalili, ungakhali inyembezi, ungehlisi inyembezi. |
| 17. | Bubula, ungakhali, ungalileli abafileyo. Thwala iqhiye yakho, ufake amanyathela enyaweni zakho, ungagubuzeli umlomo wakho, ungadli ukudla kwabalilayo. |
| 18. | Ngakho ngakhuluma labantu ekuseni, kusihlwa umkami wafa. Kwathi kusasa ngenza njengokulaywa kwami. |
| 19. | Abantu bathi kimi: Kawuyikusitshela yini ukuthi lezizinto zitshoni kithi ukuthi wenze nje? |
| 20. | Ngasengisithi kibo: Ilizwi le Nkosi lafika kimi, |
| 21. | lathi: Tshono kuIsrayeli ukuthi iNkosi uJehova ithi: Khangela, ngizangcolisa indlu yami engcwele, eligugu lamandla enu, ethandekayo emehlweni enu, efiswa ngumoya wenu. Amadodana enu lamadodakazi enu eliwatshiyileyo azakuwa ngenkemba. |
| 22. | Lizakwenza njengami, kaliyikugubuzela imilomo yenu, lidle ukudla kwabakhalayo. |
| 23. | Lizathwala amaqhiye enu, lifake amanyathela enu enyaweni zenu, lingalili likhale inyembezi, kodwa lizaphela amandla ezonweni zenu, libubule omunye komunye. |
| 24. | Ngalokho uHezekeli uzakuba yisibonakaliso kini, lizakwenza njengokwenza kwakhe. Lapho sekufika lokhu, lizakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi uJehova. |
| 25. | Ndodana yomuntu, ngizasusa kibo ithempeli labo eliyinqaba yabo, eliyintokozo yabo lodumo lwabo, lelithandekayo emehlweni abo, lelifiswe zinhliziyo zabo, ngisuse amadodana abo lamadodakazi abo. |
| 26. | Ngalolosuku kuzafika kuwe ophunyukileyo ukwenza indlebe zakho zikuzwe. |
| 27. | Ngalolosuku umlomo wakho uzavuleka kophunyukileyo, ukhulume laye, ungabe usaba yisimungulu, ube yisibonakaliso ebantwini; bazakwazi ukuthi ngiyi Nkosi. |
