2 Wathi kimi: “Ndodana yomuntu,* sukuma ume ngikhulume lawe.”+ 2 Wathi esitsho njalo, umoya wafika kimi wangisukumisa ngama+ ukuze ngimuzwe lowo owayekhuluma lami.

3 Waqhubeka wathi kimi: “Ndodana yomuntu ngiyakuthuma ebantwini bako-Israyeli,+ ezizweni* zabantu abangalaleliyo futhi abangihlamukeleyo.+ Bona labokhokho babo bebelokhu bengonela kuze kube lamuhla.+ 4 Ngikuthuma ebantwini abalenkani labayiziqholo.+ Kumele uthi kubo: ‘Nanku okutshiwo yiNkosi Enkulu uJehova.’ 5 Akulandaba ukuthi bazalalela kumbe abasoze balalele ngoba bavele bangabantu abahlamukayo,+ kodwa bazakwazi ukuthi umphrofethi ubekhona phakathi kwabo.+

6 “Wena nje ndodana yomuntu ungabesabi+ njalo ungethuswa ngamazwi abo lanxa ugonjolozelwe ngameva lezihlahla zameva+ futhi uhlala phakathi kwezinkume. Ungethuswa ngamazwi abo+ njalo ungabesabi ubuso babo+ ngoba bona bavele bangabahlamuki. 7 Kumele ubatshele lokho engikutshoyo kungelani lokuthi bayalalela kumbe abalaleli ngoba bangabantu abahlamukayo.+

8 “Kodwa wena ndodana yomuntu lalela lokho engikutshela khona. Ungahlamuki njengabantu laba abangalaleliyo. Vula umlomo wakho udle lokho engikunika khona.”+

9 Ngathi ngikhangela ngabona isandla selulelwe kimi+ siphethe incwadimgoqwa ebhaliweyo.+ 10 Wathi eyivula phambi kwami ngabona ibhalwe phakathi langaphandle.+ Yayibhalwe ingoma zokulila lamazwi ayezakwenza abantu bakhale babephakathi kosizi.+
