13 “Nakwenteka umphrofethi nobe umuntfu lophengula likusasa ngekusebentisa emaphupho avela emkhatsini wenu futsi ente sibonakaliso nobe aphrofethe, 2 bese lesibonakaliso nobe loko lakuphrofethile kini kuyenteka, futsi atsi: ‘Asilandzeleni labanye bonkulunkulu, lokubonkulunkulu leningabati, futsi sibakhonte,’ 3 ningabokulalela loko lomphrofethi nobe lomphuphi lakushoko,+ ngobe Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu uyanivivinya+ kuze abone kutsi niyamtsandza yini Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu ngenhlitiyo yenu yonkhe nangemphefumulo* wenu wonkhe.+ 4 NguJehova Nkulunkulu wenu lokufanele nimlandzele, nguye nalokufanele nimesabe, nigcine imitsetfo yakhe, nilalele livi lakhe, nimkhonte, futsi kufanele nibambelele kuye.+ 5 Kodvwa lomphrofethi nobe lomphuphi wemaphupho nibombulala,+ ngobe unikhutsate kutsi nihlubuke kuJehova Nkulunkulu wenu lowanikhipha eveni laseGibhithe, wanikhulula eveni lebenigcilatwa kulo. Lomuntfu abetama kuniphambukisa endleleni Jehova Nkulunkulu wenu latsite nihambe ngayo. Kufanele nibususe bubi emkhatsini wenu.+

11 Hananiya wase ukhuluma embikwabo bonkhe labantfu watsi: “Naku Jehova lakushoko: ‘Ngitalephula kanjalo-ke lelijoka laNebukhadnezari inkhosi yaseBhabhulona lelisentsanyeni yato tonkhe tive, ngilephule kungakapheli neminyaka lemibili.’”+ Ngako Jeremiya wesuka wahamba.

12 Ngemuva kwekutsi umphrofethi Hananiya ephule lelijoka lelisentsanyeni yemphrofethi Jeremiya, kwefika livi laJehova kuJeremiya latsi: 13 “Hamba uye kuHananiya ufike utsi: ‘Naku Jehova lakushoko: “Wena wephule lijoka lelakhiwe ngesigodvo,+ kepha esikhundleni salo utawakha lijoka lensimbi.” 14 Ngobe naku lokushiwo nguJehova wemabutfo, longuNkulunkulu wema-Israyeli: “Ngitawubeka lijoka lensimbi entsanyeni yato tonkhe letive, kuze tiphoceleleke kutsi titfobele Nebukhadnezari inkhosi yaseBhabhulona, futsi timsebentele.+ Ngisho netilwane tesiganga titamtfobela.”’”+

15 Umphrofethi Jeremiya wabese ukhuluma nemphrofethi Hananiya+ watsi: “Ngicela ungilalele Hananiya! Wena awukatfunywa nguJehova, kodvwa wente labantfu betsemba intfo lengemanga.+ 16 Ngako naku Jehova lakushoko: ‘Ngitawucedza ngawe. Kulomnyaka utawufa ngobe ukhutsate bantfu kutsi bahlubuke Jehova.’”+

17 Ngako umphrofethi Hananiya wafa ngenyanga yesi-7 kuwo lowo mnyaka.
