Ingcenye yabantu bedorobho izokuya ekudingisweni kodwana abaseleko angeze basuswe edorobheni.
3 “UJehova uzokuphuma ayokulwa neentjhabezo+ njengalokha nakalwa ngelanga lepi.+ 4 Ngelangelo, iinyawo zakhe zizokujama eNtabeni yama-Oliva,+ eqale eJerusalema ehlangothini elingepumalanga. INtaba yama-Oliva izokuhlukana phakathi, kusukela ngepumalanga ukuya ngetjingalanga, izokwenza umrhoba omkhulu. Ingcenye yentaba izokuya ngetlhagwini, ingcenye enye iye ngesewula. 5 Nizokubalekela emrhobeni weentaba zami ngombana umrhoba oseentabeni uzokukhamba bewuyokufika e-Atseli. Nizokubaleka njengombana nabaleka ngebanga lokusikinyeka kwephasi emihleni yeKosi yakwaJuda u-Uziya.+ UJehova uZimami uzokuza nabo boke abacwengileko.+
6 Ngelangelo, angeze kwakhanya,+ izinto zizokulisa ukusebenza.* 7 Kuzokuba lilanga elaziwa ngokuthi ngelakaJehova.+ Angeze libe yimini namkha libe busuku, ntambama kuzokuba nokukhanya. 8 Ngelangelo amanzi wokuphila+ azokugeleza asuka eJerusalema,+ ingcenyawo izokutjhinga ngelwandle elingepumalanga,*+ ingcenyawo itjhinge ngelwandle elingetjingalanga.*+ Lokho kuzokwenzeka ehlobo nebusika. 9 UJehova uzokuba yiKosi ephasini loke.+ Ngelangelo nguJehova kwaphela ozokulotjhwa+ begodu igama lakhe ngilo kwaphela elizokudunyiswa.+
10 “Inarha yoke izokufana ne-Araba,+ ukusuka eGeba+ ukuya eRimoni+ engesewula yeJerusalema. IJerusalema izokuba yikulu begodu abantu bazokuhlala kiyo,+ kusukela eSangweni lakwaBhenjamini+ ukuyokufika endaweni yeSango lokuThoma, ukuyokufika eSangweni leKhona begodu kusukela embhotjhongweni kaRhananiyeli,+ ukuyokufika lapha kwenzelwa khona iwayini lekosi. 11 Abantu bazokuhlala kilo, angeze lisajeziswa ngokutjhatjalaliswa,+ abantu bazokuhlala eJerusalema bavikelekile.+
12 “Nasi isijeziso uJehova azokujezisa ngaso boke abantu abalwa neJerusalema.+ Inyamabo izokubola bajamile, amehlwabo azokubolela endawenawo namalimabo azokubolela ngemlonyeni.

15 “Isijeziso esifanako sizokwehlela neenjomani, iimeyila, amakamela, abodumbana nayo yoke ifuyo engemakampeni lawo.
16 “Boke abaseleko abavela eentjhabeni ebezizokulwa neJerusalema, qobe mnyaka bazokukhuphuka+ bayokulotjha iKosi uJehova wamabutho+ bebagidinge umNyanya wemiTlhatlhana.+ 17 Nanyana ngubani eentjhabeni zephasini ongeze akhuphukele eJerusalema bona ayokulotjha iKosi uJehova wamabutho, angeze kune izulu enarhenakhe.+ 18 Nange abantu beGibhide bangakhuphuki begodu bangene edorobheni, izulu angekhe line kibo. Kunalokho, bazokujeziswa ngesijeziso uJehova ajezisa ngaso iintjhaba ezingayi ukuyokugidinga umNyanya wemiTlhatlhana. 19 Lesi kuzokuba sijeziso sesono sabantu beGibhide nesesono seentjhaba zoke ezingakhuphuki ziyokugidinga umNyanya wemiTlhatlhana.
20 “Ngelangelo amezwi athi, ‘UJehova ucwengile!’+ Azokutlolwa eensinjaneni ezilenga eenjomaneni. Iimpoto+ ezingendlini kaJehova zizokuba njengeenkotlelo+ eziphambi kwe-aldara. 21 Zoke iimpoto zeJerusalema nezakwaJuda zizokucwengeka begodu zizokuba ngezakaJehova wamabutho. Boke abenza imihlatjelo bazokuza, bazokupheka ngazo inyama. Ngelangelo angeze kusaba nomKanana* endlini kaJehova wamabutho.”+
