Chapter 4
1 Sabuya isithunywa esibe sithetha nam, sandivusa njengomntu ovuswa ebuthongweni bakhe.
2 Sathi kum, Ubona ntoni na? Ndathi ke, Ndibona, nanko kukho isiphatho sesibane segolide sonke siphela, sineselwa laso phezu kwentloko yaso, sinezibane zaso ezisixhenxe phezu kwaso, zinamajelo asixhenxe ngasixhenxe ezibane eziphezu kwentloko yaso;
3 neminquma emibini kuso, omnye ungasekunene kweselwa, omnye ungasekhohlo kwalo.
4 Ndaphendula ndathi kwisithunywa esibe sithetha nam, Ziyintoni na ezi zinto, nkosi yam?
5 Saphendula isithunywa esibe sithetha nam, sathi kum, Akuzazi na ukuba ziyintoni na ezi zinto? Ndathi, Hayi, nkosi yam.
6 Saphendula sathi kum, Nali ilizwi likaYehova kuZerubhabheli, lisithi, Akungabukroti, akungamandla; kungoMoya wam; utsho uYehova wemikhosi.
7 Ungubani na wena, ntaba inkulu, phambi koZerubhabheli? Yiba sisithabazi; yena uya kulivelisa ilitye lochochoyi, kunkqangazwa kusithiwa, Ubabalo, ubabalo malube kulo.
8 Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lisithi,
9 Izandla zikaZerubhabheli ziyisekile le ndlu; izandla zakhe ziya kuyigqiba; wazi ukuba uYehova wemikhosi undithumele kuni.
10 Ngokuba ngubani na owoyidela imini yezinto ezincinane? Aya kuyibona ngovuyo ilothe yokulungelelanisa esandleni sikaZerubhabheli, kwawona osixhenxe amehlo kaYehova; ayawutyhutyha umhlaba wonke.
11 Ndaphendula ndathi kuso, Iyintoni na le minquma mibini, ngasekunene kwesiphatho sesibane nangasekhohlo kuso?
12 Ndaphendula okwesibini, ndathi kuso, Ziyintoni na ezi mbaxa zimbini zeminquma, zikufuphi nemiboko emibini yegolide, ethulula ioli ebugolide kuzo?
13 Sandiphendula, sathi, Akuzazi na ukuba ziyintoni na ezi zinto? Ndathi, Hayi, nkosi yam.
14 Sathi kum, Aba babini ngabeoli, abema ngakwiNkosi yehlabathi lonke.
