Kwakuhlala eBethele umprofethi omdala. Amadodana akhe afika amtshela yonke imisebenzi lowo muntu kaNkulunkulu abeyenzile ngalolo suku eBethele, namazwi abewakhulumile enkosini. Uyise esetsheliwe,

Ngokuba asizange sibe namazwi okuthopha, njengokuba nazi; asizange futhi sibe nobuqili bokufisa, uNkulunkulu ungufakazi,

USawule wayesethi kuSamuweli : Ngonile, ngokuba ngeqile isiyalezo sikaJehova namazwi akho, lokhu ngesaba abantu, ngalalela izwi labo.

Kepha enkosini yakwaJuda eyanithuma ukubuza kuJehova niyakusho kuyo kanje, nithi: Usho kanje uJehova uNkulu nkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Maqondana namazwi owezwileyo,

Ezinye izindaba zika -Abiya, nezindlela zakhe, namazwi akhe , kulotshiwe esichasiselweni somprofethi u-Ido.

Ezinye izindaba zikaManase , nomkhuleko wakhe kuNkulunkulu wakhe , namazwi ababoni ababewakhuluma kuye egameni likaJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, bheka, kulotshiwe ezindabeni zamakhosi akwa-Israyeli.

Kepha enkosini yakwaJuda eyanithuma ukubuza kuJehova niyakusho k uyo kanje, nithi: Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, uthi: Maqondana namazwi owezwileyo,

umxwaye nawe, ngokuba wamelana kakhulu namazwi ethu.

Kepha njengalokho nivamile kukho konke : ukukholwa, namazwi, nokwazi, nokukhuthala konke, nothando enisithanda ngalo , manivame nakuwo lowo msebenzi womusa.

Manje, Nkosi Jehova , wena unguNkulunkulu, namazwi akho ayiq iniso, uthembisile inceku yakho lokhu okuhle;

Wathuma ubumnyama , wenza kwaba mnyama , kepha baphambana namazwi akhe.

ngokuba babephambene namazwi kaNkulunkulu , babesidelele isiluleko soPhezukonke.

Isilinganiso sawo siphumele emhlabeni wonk e namazwi awo emkhawulweni womhlaba. Ulimisele ilanga itende kulo.

Nkulunkulu wami , Nkulunkulu wami , ungishiyeleni na ? Ukude namazwi okubububula kwami nokusindiswa kwami.

Kwase kuvulwa ithempeli likaNkulunkulu elisezulwini , kwabonakala umphongolo wesivumelwano sakhe ethempelini lakhe ; kwase kuba khona imibani, namazwi, nokuduma, nokuzamazama komhlaba , nesichotho esikhulu.

Kwase kuba khona imibani , namazwi, nokuduma, kwaba khona nokuzamazama okukhulu komhlaba okungazange kube khona okunjalo , selokhu kwaba khona abantu emhlabeni , ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu kangaka.

Nasesihlalweni sobukhosi kwaphuma imibani , namazwi, nokuduma; nezibani zomlilo eziyisikhombisa zavutha phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi , ezingoMoya abayisikhombisa bakaNkulunkulu;

Ingelosi yayisithabatha isitsha sempepho , yasigcwalisa ngomlilo wase - altare, yasiphonsa emhlabeni ; kwase kuba khona ukuduma , namazwi, nemibani, nokuzamazama komhlaba. Izingelosi eziyisikhombisa zimi phambi kukaNkulunkulu ziphethe amacilongo. Ezine zokuqala ziyabetha amacilongo

ukuba aqonde izaga nezimfihlakalo , namazwi abahlakaniphileyo nezimfumbe zabo.

Ngokuba abakhileyo eJerusalema nababusi babo abamazanga yena , namazwi abaprofethi afundwa amasaba tha ngamasabatha bawagcwalisa ngokumlahla;

Namazwi abaprofethi ayavum elana nalokho , njengalokho kulotshiwe ukuthi:

Uma nihlala kimi , namazwi ami ehlala kini , niyakucela enikuthandayo , nikwenzelwe.

Mina-ke, lokhu kuyisivumelwano sami nabo, usho uJehova, sokuthi umoya wami ophezu kwakho namazwi ami engiwabeke emlonyeni wakho akuyikusuka emlonyeni wakho , nasemlonyeni wenzalo yakho , nasemlonyeni wenzalo yenzalo yakho, usho uJehova, kusukela manje kuze kube phakade.

Base bethi kuye abafowabo : Impela uyakuba yinkosi yethu , usibuse na ? Bamzonda kakhulu kunakuqala ngenxa yamaphupho akhe namazwi akhe.

UZerubabele indodana kaSheyali tiyeli noJoshuwa indodana kaJehosadaki , umpristi omkhulu , nayo yonke insali yabantu balalela izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu wabo namazwi kaHagayi umprofethi , njengokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo emthumile; abantu besaba phambi kukaJehova.

Wena ndodana yomuntu , ungabesabi, ungesabi namazwi abo , noma amakhakhasi nameva kukuwe , uhlezi phakathi kwawofezela ; ungawesabi amazwi a bo, ungapheli am andla ngobuso babo , ngokuba bayindlu ehlubukayo.

Lase lifika izwi likaJehova kuJeremiya , inkosi isishisile umqulu namazwi awaloba uBaruki, ewathatha emlonyeni kaJeremiya, lithi:

Benza izi nhliziyo zabo zaba yidayimani , funa bezwe umthetho namazwi ayewathume uJehova Sebawoti ngoMoya wakhe ngesandla sabaprofethi bokuqala; ngalokho kwavela intukuthelo enkulu ivela kuJehova Sebawoti.

Ngokuba lapho kukhona amaphupho amaningi, kukhona nokuyize namazwi amaningi, kepha wena yesaba uNkulunkulu.

Ngase ngithi : Ukuhlakanipha kuhle kunamandla , kepha ukuhlakanipha kompofu kuyadelelwa, namazwi akhe awezwakali.
