6 1Ngaphinda ngabheka phezulu—izinqola zempi ezine ziphuma phakathi kwezintaba ezimbili, izintaba zethusi. 2Inqola yokuqala yayinamahhashi abomvu, inqola yesibili amahhashi amnyama, 3inqola yesithathu amahhashi amhlophe, inqola yesine amahhashi amabalabala—onke enamandla. 4Ngase ngibuza ingelosi eyayikhuluma nami, ngathi: “Yini lokhu, nkosi yami?”
5Ingelosi yaphendula yathi: “Yimimoya emine yezulu, ephuma ekumeni kwayo phambi kweNkosi yomhlaba wonke. 6Inqola enamahhashi amnyama iya ezweni lasenyakatho, amahhashi amhlophe alandela emva kwawo, amabalabala aye ezweni laseningizimu. 7Kwathi lapho amahhashi anamandla ephuma, elangazelela ukuhambahamba emhlabeni, wathi: ‘Hambani, nihambahambe emhlabeni!’ Ngakho ahambahamba emhlabeni.”
8Wabe esengimemeza, wathi: “Bheka, labo abaya ezweni lasenyakatho sebewuphumuzile uMoya wami ezweni lasenyakatho.” a a v8 Ukuthi “sebewuphumuzile uMoya wami” kusho ukuthi izinjongo zikaNkulunkulu zokwahlulela inyakatho—okuyinhlangothi okwavela kuyo abacindezeli baka-Israyeli—manje sezigcwalisekile.
IHlumela Liyakwakha Ithempeli Lakhe
9Lase lifika kimi izwi likaBaba wethu:
10“Thatha umnikelo kwabathunjiweyo—uHelidayi, uThobhiya, noJedaya, abavela eBhabhiloni—uye ngalona lolo suku endlini kaJosiya indodana kaZefaniya. 11Thatha isiliva negolide, wenze umqhele, uwubeke ekhanda likaJoshuwa indodana kaJehozadaki, umpristi omkhulu.’” 12“Mtshele: Nakhu akushoyo uBaba wamabutho asezulwini, uthi: ‘Nangu umuntu obizwa ngokuthi iHlumela; uyakuhluma endaweni yakhe, akhe ithempeli likaBaba wethu. 13Uyakwakha ithempeli likaBaba wethu, athwale ubukhosi, ahlale abuse esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi. Uyakuba umpristi esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi, futhi ukuzwana okunokuthula kuyakuhlanganisa lezi zikhundla zombili. b b v13 Lapha umuntu oyedwa uyinkosi esihlalweni sobukhosi kanye nompristi ngasikhathi sinye—into umbusi ka-Israyeli angazange avunyelwe ukuba yiyo. Kukhomba phambili kuJesu, yena yedwa ohlanganisa ubukhosi nobupristi, nokuthi kuye ukuthula phakathi kwalezi zimbili kugcinwe ngokuphelele. 14Umqhele uyakuhlala ethempelini likaBaba wethu ube yisikhumbuzo kuHelidayi, uThobhiya, uJedaya, noHeni indodana kaZefaniya. 15Labo abakude bayakuza bakhe ithempeli likaBaba wethu, futhi niyakwazi ukuthi uBaba wamabutho asezulwini ungithumile kini. Lokhu kuyakwenzeka uma nililalela ngenkuthalo izwi lakhe.’”
