3 Ekufikeni kwenyanga yesixhenxe+ oonyana bakaSirayeli babekwizixeko zabo. Yaye abantu bahlanganisana eYerusalem+ njengamntu mnye.+

8 Ke kaloku ubabalo+ oluvela kuYehova uThixo wethu luye lwafika umzuzwana ngokusishiyela abo baye basinda+ nangokusinika isikhonkwane endaweni yakhe engcwele, ukuze amehlo ethu akhanye,+ Thixo wethu, nokusivuselela kancinane kubukhoboka bethu.+

12 Yaye ngaloo mini+ ngokuqinisekileyo uya kuthi: “Ndiya kukubulela, Yehova, kuba nangona ubundiqumbele, umsindo wakho uye wabuya,+ waqala ukundithuthuzela.+

18 Yaye abantu bam baya kuhlala kwindawo yokuhlala enoxolo nakwiindawo zokuhlala zentembelo epheleleyo nakwiindawo zokuphumla ezingaphazamisekiyo.+

10 “Wena ke, musa ukoyika, mkhonzi wam Yakobi,” utsho uYehova, “ungangenwa nalunkwantyo, Sirayeli.+ Kuba yabona, ndikusindisa usekude nenzala yakho kwilizwe lokuthinjwa kwayo.+ Kwaye uYakobi ngokuqinisekileyo uya kubuya, angaphazanyiswa aze ahlale ngokukhululeka, yaye akuyi kubakho bani umngcangcazelisayo.”+

24 Akusayi kuphinda ke kubekho liva linobuhlungu okanye liva libuhlungu kwindlu kaSirayeli eliphuma kubo bonke abo babajikelezileyo,+ abo babagculelayo; bazi abantu ukuba ndiyiNkosi enguMongami uYehova.”’
