2 “Naku lokushiwo nguKhuresi iNkhosi yasePheresiya: ‘Jehova longuNkulunkulu wemazulu unginike yonkhe imibuso emhlabeni+ futsi ungitfume kutsi ngimakhele indlu eJerusalema+ lekaJuda. 3 Nobe ngubani lokhonta yena emkhatsini wenu nonkhe, akakhuphukele eJerusalema lekaJuda futsi shengatsi Nkulunkulu wakhe angaba naye. Abofike avusetele indlu yaJehova Nkulunkulu wema-Israyeli lebeyiseJerusalema.* Yena unguNkulunkulu weliciniso. 4 Nobe ngubani losihambi+ ngisho nobe ahlala kuphi, akasitwe bomakhelwane bakhe,* bamnike lisiliva neligolide, tipho nemfuyo, kanye nemnikelo wekutitsandzela wendlu yaNkulunkulu weliciniso+ lebeyiseJerusalema.’”
