11  “Vula iminyango yakho we Lebhanoni,Ukuze umlilo ungene utshise zonke izihlahla zakho zomsedari.  2  Lila wena sihlahla somjunipha ngoba umsedari uwile. Izihlahla ebezibatshazwa sezitshabalele! Lilani lani zihlahla zom-okhi eziseBhashaniNgoba igusu ebeliminyene seliligceke!  3  Lalela! Abelusi baqhinqa isililoNgoba udumo lwabo selutshabalele. Lalela! Izilwane ezilamandla ziyabhongaNgoba igusu laseJodani ebeliminyene selilobile. 4  “Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova uNkulunkulu wami, ‘Yelusa umhlambi wezimvu ezigcinelwe ukuhlatshwa.+ 5  Abazithengileyo bayazihlaba+ kodwa kabetheswa cala, labazithengisayo+ bathi, “Kadunyiswe uJehova ngoba sesizanotha.” Abelusi bazo kabazizweli ngitsho.’+ 6  “‘Angisoze ngibazwele abantu abahlala elizweni leli,’ kutsho uJehova. ‘Ngakho ngizakwenza ukuthi umuntu ahlukuluzwe ngumakhelwane wakhe layinkosi yakhe. Bazalitshabalalisa ilizwe futhi angisoze ngibakhulule esandleni sabo.’” 7  Ngaqalisa ukwelusa umhlambi wezimvu ezazigcinelwe ukuhlatshwa,+ ngisenzela lina zimvu zomhlambi ohlukuluzwayo. Ngakho ngathatha imiqwayi emibili, omunye ngawubiza ngokuthi nguMusa omunye ngathi nguManyano,+ ngasengiqalisa ukwelusa izimvu. 8  Ngaxotsha abelusi abathathu ngenyanga eyodwa ngoba bangicaphula kakhulu njalo labo basebengizonda. 9  Ngathi: “Angisoze ngiqhubeke ngilelusa. Ofayo kafe lobhubhayo kabhubhe. Abaseleyo kabadlithizane baqedane.” 10  Ngakho ngathatha umqwayi wami okuthiwa nguMusa+ ngawuquma, ngisephula isivumelwano engangisenze labantu bami. 11  Ngasephula ngalelolanga futhi izimvu zomhlambi wami ezihlukuluzwayo ezazingibukele zakwazi ukuthi lelo kwakulilizwi likaJehova. 12  Ngemva kwalokho ngathi kubo: “Nginikani umholo wami nxa likubona kuqondile lokho kodwa nxa libona kungafanelanga yekelani ukungibhadala.” Basebengiholisa* inhlamvu zesiliva ezingu-30.+ 13  UJehova wathi kimi: “Phosela imali leyo lapho okugcinwa khona iminikelo, okuyimadlana okungatsho lutho abangibhadale ngakho.”+ Ngakho ngazithatha inhlamvu zesiliva ezingu-30 ngayaziphosela lapho okugcinwa khona iminikelo endlini kaJehova.+ 14  Ngasengiquma umqwayi wami wesibili okuthiwa nguManyano,+ ngisephula ubuhlobo obuphakathi kukaJuda lo-Israyeli.+ 15  UJehova wasesithi kimi: “Thatha izinto ezisetshenziswa ngumelusi ongelancedo+ 16  ngoba ngizabeka umelusi omutsha elizweni. Kasoze azinakekele izimvu ezifayo+ loba adinge amazinyane futhi kasoze elaphe lezo ezilimeleyo+ kumbe azinike ukudla lezo eziqinileyo. Kodwa uzadlithiza inyama yalezo ezinonileyo,+ adle lamangqina azo.+ 17  Maye kumelusi wami ongelancedo+ odela izimvu!+ Uzagalelwa ngenkemba esandleni sokudla laselihlweni lesokudla. Ingalo yakhe izatshwabhana,Ilihlo lakhe lesokudla livaleke lingasaboni ngitsho.”
