3 Emihleni leyo kwavela uJwanisi+ uMbhabhadisi atjhumayela+ emmangweni weJudiya,

3 Kuhlekuhle lo nguye u-Isaya umphorofidi+ ebekakhuluma ngaye nakathi: “Ilizwi lomuntu orhuwelela emmangweni lithi: ‘Lungisani indlela kaJehova!* Yenzani iindlela zakhe zinqophe.’”+

3 Ilizwi lomuntu orhuwelela emmangweni, lithi: ‘Lungisani indlela kaJehova! Yenzani iindlela zakhe zinqophe.’”+

67 Uyise uZakariya wazala ummoya ocwengileko, waphorofida wathi:

76 Kodwana wena mntwana, uzokubizwa ngokuthi umphorofidi woPhezukoke ngombana uJehova* uzokuthuma bona ukhambe phambili uyokulungisa iindlela zakhe,+

3 Wakhamba inarha yoke ezombeleze iJordani, atjhumayela atjela abantu ukuthi babhajadiswe, batjengise bona batjhugulukile khona bazakulitjalelwa izono zabo+ 4 njengombana kutloliwe encwadini ka-Isaya umphorofidi nakathi: “Ilizwi lomuntu orhuwelela emmangweni lithi: ‘Lungisani indlela kaJehova!* Yenzani iindlela zakhe zinqophe.+

27 Nguye lo okwatlolwa ngaye kwathiwa: ‘Ngithumela isithunywa sami ngaphambi kwakho, esizokuhlahla indlelakho.’+ 28 Ngiyanitjela, kibo boke abantu abakhe babelethwa akekho omkhulu kunoJwanisi kodwana omncani emBusweni kaZimu mkhulu kunaye.”+
