13. Ngako oko itsho iNkosi uYehova ukuthi, Yabonani, abakhonzi bam baya kudla, ke nina niya kulamba; yabonani, abakhonzi bam baya kusela, ke nina niya kunxanwa; yabonani, abakhonzi bam baya kuvuya, ke nina niya kudana.
14. Yabonani, abakhonzi bam baya kumemelela ngokuchwayitha kwentliziyo, ke nina niya kukhala ngumvandedwa wentliziyo, nibhomboloze kukwaphuka komoya wenu.
15. Niya kulishiya igama lenu libe sisishwabulo kubanyulwa bam, ikubulale iNkosi uYehova, ke ibabize ngalimbi igama abakhonzi bayo;
16. ngokokude athi ozisikeleleyo elizweni, azisikelele ngoThixo wenyaniso; athi ofungayo elizweni, afunge uThixo wenyaniso; ngokuba zilityelwe iimbandezelo zangaphambili, nangokuba zisithele emehlweni am.
17. Ngokuba, niyabona, ndidala amazulu amatsha nehlabathi elitsha; angàkhunjulwa awokuqala, angenyuki athi qatha entliziyweni.
18. Hayi, yibani nemihlali, nigcobe nanini yiloo nto ndiyidalayo; ngokuba, yabonani, ndiyayidala iYerusalem ukuba igcobe, nabantu bayo ukuba babe nemihlali.
19. Ndiya kugcoba ngeYerusalem, ndibe nemihlali ngabantu bam, lingabi savakala khona ilizwi lokulila nelizwi lokukhala.
20. Akuyi kuba savela khona usana oluneentsuku, nexhego elingayizalisanga imihla yalo; kuba umfana uya kufa engominyaka ilikhulu ezelwe, atshabhiswe umoni engominyaka ilikhulu ezelwe.
21. Baya kwakha izindlu, bazihlale; batyale izidiliya, badle iziqhamo zazo.
