16 Jehova wabese utsi kuMosi: “Wena sewutakufa,* futsi labantfu batawucala kungetsembeki kimi ngekukhonta* bonkulunkulu bemanga labatawube baseceleni kwabo kulelive labaya kulo.+ Batangishiya,+ bephule nesivumelwane lengisente nabo.+ 17 Ngaleso sikhatsi intfukutselo yami itawubavutsela,+ futsi ngitawubashiya,+ ngibafihlele nebuso bami+ kuze kube ngulapho sebacotfuliwe. Nasebehlelwe tinhlekelele netinkinga letinyenti,+ batawutsi: ‘Letinhlekelele letisehlelako atibangelwa yini kutsi Nkulunkulu wetfu akasekho emkhatsini wetfu?’+

Kodvwa wachubeka ahamba njengelihlubuka,+ alandzela inhlitiyo yakhe.

23 Tive tiyawukwati kutsi bantfu baka-Israyeli batfunjwa ngenca yetono tabo, ngobe abazange betsembeke kimi.+ Kungako ngabafihlela buso bami,+ ngabanikela esandleni setitsa tabo+ futsi bonkhe babulawa ngenkemba.
