8 “Kodwa ke ngoku okwalo mzuzu, wena Ndikhoyo Thixo wethu, usibabale ngokusishiyela amasalela, wasizinzisa nakule ndawo ingcwele. Ewe, Thixo wethu, usenzele umnyinyiva nebuya-mbo ekuthinjweni.
9 Nangona singamakhoboka, wena Thixo wethu akusilahlanga ekuthinjweni. Izikumkani zasePeshiya uzenze zanobubele kuthi. Usithe jize ngebuya-mbo lokuba sivuse indlu kaThixo wethu, siwavuse namabhodlo, waza ke wasikhusela thina bakwaJuda naseJerusalem.
10 “Ngoku ke, Thixo wethu, sothini kodwa xa kunje? Kaloku sisuke sayidela imiyalelo
11 owasinika ngezicaka zakho *abashumayeli usithi: ‘Lo mhlaba ningena nisiya kuma kuwo udyobhekile kukonakala kwabantu bawo. Ngemikhuba yabo emasikizi bawutsho waphuphuma kukungcola.
12 Ngoko ke nina ze ningazendiseli koonyana babo iintombi zenu, noonyana benu bangazithathi iintombi zabo. Naphantsi kwaziphi na iimeko ningaze niyikhuthaze intlalo nenkqubela yabo, khon' ukuze nomelele nikuxhamle ukulunga kweli lizwe, kananjalo libe lilifa labantwana benu ngonaphakade.’
13 “Le nto isihleleyo sisiphumo sezenzo zethu ezingcolileyo, neli tyala lethu lingaka. Kodwa naxa kunjalo, wena Thixo wethu akusohlwayanga ngokwezono zethu, koko usuke wasithi jize ngala masalela.
14 Singathini ke ngoku thina ukubuya siyaphule imiyalelo yakho ngokuzibandakanya ngomtshato nabantu abamikhuba imanyumnyezi kanje? Khona, ubungathini wena ukungakhathazeki ude usitshabalalise angabikho naloo masalela asindileyo?
