1 Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:
2 “Ndodana yomuntu, wena uhlala phakathi kwendlu ehlubukayo nabanamehlo okubona bengaboni kodwa, abanezindlebe zokuzwa bengezwa nokho, ngokuba bayindlu ehlubukayo.
3 “Wena ndodana yomuntu, zenzele impahla yokuhamba, usuke emini emehlweni abo, umuke endaweni yakho emehlweni abo, uye kwenye; mhlawumbe bayakubona ukuthi bayindlu ehlubukayo.
4 Uyakukhipha impahla yakho emini emehlweni abo njengempahla yokuhamba, wena uphume kusihlwa emehlweni abo njengokuphuma ukuya ekuthunjweni.
5 Gebhula ogangeni emehlweni abo, uyikhiphe impahla khona.
6 Uyakuyithwala ehlombe emehlweni abo, uyikhiphe sekumnyama, usibekele ubuso bakho, ukuze ungaboni izwe, ngokuba ngikubeke ukuba ube yisibonakaliso kuyo indlu yakwa-Israyeli.”
7 Ngenza njengokungiyala kwakhe; ngayikhipha impahla yami emini njengempahla yokuhamba, kusihlwa ngagebhula ogangeni ngesandla, nanxa sekumnyama ngayikhipha, ngayithwala ehlombe emehlweni abo.
