7 Emveni koko, utsho uYehova, ndomnikela uZedekiya ukumkani wakwaYuda, nabakhonzi bakhe, nabantu abo baseleyo kulo mzi, endyikityeni yokufa, nasekreleni, nasendlaleni; ndibanikele esandleni sikaNebhukadenetsare ukumkani waseBhabheli, nasesandleni seentshaba zabo, nasesandleni sabawufunayo umphefumlo wabo; ábabéthe ngohlangothi lwekrele; akayi kuba nanceba kubo, akayi kubaconga, akayi kuba namfesane.
8 Ke kwaba bantu wòthi, Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Yabonani, ndibeka phambi kwenu indlela yobomi nendlela yokufa.
9 Othe wahlala kulo mzi uya kufa likrele, nayindlala, nayindyikitya yokufa; ke yena othe waphuma, waphambela kumaKaledi aningqingayo, uya kuphila umphefumlo wakhe, ube lixhoba kuye.
10 Ngokuba ubuso bam kulo mzi ndibumisele ububi, àndibumisele okulungileyo, utsho uYehova; úya kunikelwa esandleni sokumkani waseBhaheli, awutshise ngomlilo.
11 Ke kwindlu yokumkani wakwaYuda wòthi,
12 Yivani ilizwi likaYehova. Ndlu kaDavide, utsho uYehova ukuthi, Thethani amatyala imiso yonke, ophangiweyo nimhlangule esandleni somcudisi, hleze ubushushu bam buphume njengomlilo, butshise, kungabikho ucimayo ngenxa yobubi beentlondi zenu.
13 Yabonani, ndichasene nani, bemi bentili, beliwa lehewu, utsho uYehova; nina bàthi, Ngubani na oya kuhla phezu kwethu? ngubani na oya kusingenela emakhaya?
