2 “Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ngawe Bharukhi, 3 ‘Wena uthe: “Maye ngami! UJehova wengezelele usizi ebuhlungwini bami. Sengikhale ngaze ngadinwa futhi angikutholi ukuphumula.”’

4 “Ngakho kumele uthi kuye, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova: “Khangela! Engikwakhileyo ngiyakudiliza, lengikuhlanyeleyo ngiyakusiphuna. Lokhu ngizakwenza elizweni lonke.+ 5 Kodwa wena uzifunela* izinto ezinkulu. Yekela ukudinga izinto ezinjalo.”’

“‘Phela sekuseduze ukuthi ngilethe umonakalo kubo bonke abantu,+ kodwa wena ngizakusindisa* loba ngaphi lapho oya khona,’+ kutsho uJehova.”
