UZakhariya 13

Ukuhlanjululwa Ezonweni

1 "Ngalelolanga umthombo uzavulelwa indlu kaDavida labakhileyo eJerusalema, ukubahlanza izono lokungcola.

2 Ngalelolanga ngizawasusa amabizo ezithombe elizweni ukuze zingakhunjulwa njalo," kutsho uThixo uSomandla. "Ngizabasusa abaphrofethi kanye lomoya wokungcola phakathi kwelizwe. 3 Nxa ezabe elokhu ekhona ophrofethayo, uyise lonina abamzalayo bazakuthi kuye, ‘Kumele ufe ngoba usukhulume amanga ngegama likaThixo.’ Uzakuthi ephrofitha abazali bakhe ngokwabo bazamgwaza.

4 Ngalelolanga ngulowo lalowo umphrofethi uzaba lamanhloni ngombono wakhe wokuphrofetha. Akayikwembatha isivunulo somphrofethi esoboya ezama ukukhohlisa. 5 Uzakuthi, ‘Kangisuye umphrofethi, ngingumlimi; umhlabathi uyilapho okulokuphila kwami kusukela ebutsheni bami’ 6 Aluba ebuzwa kuthiwe, ‘Ngawani amanxeba la asemzimbeni wakho?’ Uzaphendula athi, ‘Ngamanxeba engawazuza endlini yabangane bami.’

Umelusi Utshayiwe, Izimvu Zahlakazwa

7 Vuka, wena nkemba, vukela umelusi wami,

uvukele umuntu osekhwapheni lami!"

kutsho uThixo uSomandla.

"Tshaya umelusi,

izimvu zizahlakazeka,

njalo ngizaphendula isandla sami ngitshaye ezincinyane.

8 Kulolonke ilizwe," kutsho uThixo,

"ezimbili kwezintathu zizatshaywa zife;

kodwa ingxenye yesithathu izasala kulo.

9 Le ingxenye yesithathu ngizayifaka emlilweni;

ngizabancibilikisa ngibacenge njengesiliva

ngibahlolisise njengegolide.

Bazalibiza ibizo lami,

lami ngizabaphendula;

ngizakuthi, ‘Bangabantu bami,’

labo bazakuthi, ‘UThixo unguNkulunkulu wethu.’ "
