1 Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wetshumi lanye, ngenyanga yesithathu, ngolokuqala lwenyanga, ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi, lisithi: 2 Ndodana yomuntu, tshono kuFaro inkosi yeGibhithe lexukwini lakhe ^a: Ufanana lobani ebukhulwini bakho ^b? 3 Khangela, iAsiriya ^c yayingumsedari eLebhanoni ^d, omuhle ngengatsha ^e, njengegusu elilomthunzi ^f, njalo umude ngokuphakama ^{g
,} ^h, lesihloko sawo ^{i
,} ^j sasiphakathi ^k kwengatsha eziqatha ^{l
,} ^m. 4 Amanzi awukhulisa, inziki yawuphakamisa, imifula yawo yageleza yazingelezela indawo ohlanyelwe kiyo, wakhuphela izifudlana zawo kuzo zonke izihlahla zeganga ⁿ. 5 Ngakho-ke ubude bawo baphakama bedlula zonke izihlahla zeganga ^{o
,} ^p, lengatsha zawo zanda ^q, lamahlumela awo aba made, ngenxa yamanzi amanengi, lapho uwaphumisa ^r. 6 Lazo zonke izinyoni zamazulu zakha izidleke zazo ^s ezingatsheni zawo ^t, lenyamazana zonke zeganga zazalela ngaphansi kwengatsha zawo ^u, langaphansi komthunzi wawo kwahlala izizwe zonke ezinkulu ^{v
,} ^w. 7 Ngokunjalo wawumuhle ebukhulwini bawo ^x, ebudeni bengatsha zawo ^y; ngoba impande yawo yayingasemanzini amanengi. 8 Imisedari esivandeni sikaNkulunkulu yayingewufiphaze ^z; izihlahla zamafiri zazingafanani lengatsha zawo ^aa; lezingelamaxolo ^ab zazingafanani lamahlumela awo ^ac; futhi kwakungekho sihlahla esivandeni sikaNkulunkulu esinjengawo ebuhleni bawo ^ad. 9 Ngawenza waba muhle ngobunengi bezingatsha zawo ^ae, kwaze kwathi zonke izihlahla zeEdeni ^af, ezazisesivandeni sikaNkulunkulu, zaba lomhawu ngawo ^ag.

10 Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ngenxa yokuthi uziphakamisile ngobude ^ah, uthutshise isihloko sawo ^{ai
,} ^{aj
,} ^ak ngaphakathi kwezingatsha eziqatha ^al, lenhliziyo yawo yaziphakamisa ngobude bawo ^am; 11 ngakho ngizawunikela esandleni solamandla wezizweni ^an; uzakwenza lokwenza lawo; ngiwuxotshile ngenxa yenkohlakalo yawo ^ao. 12 Njalo abemzini ^ap, abesabekayo bezizwe ^aq, bawuqumile bawutshiya; lengatsha zawo ziwele ezintabeni ^{ar
,} ^as lakuzo zonke izihotsha ^at; lamahlumela akhe ephulwe ^au kuyo yonke imifula yelizwe ^av; labo bonke abantu bomhlaba behlile basuka emthunzini wawo, bawutshiya ^aw. 13 Zonke inyoni zamazulu zizahlala phezu kwencithakalo yawo ^ax, lazo zonke inyamazana zeganga zizakuba phezu kwengatsha zawo ^ay. 14 Ukuze kungabi khona kuzo zonke izihlahla ngasemanzini eziziphakamisayo ngenxa yobude bazo ^az, futhi zingafuqi isihloko sazo ^{ba
,} ^{bb
,} ^bc ngaphakathi kwezingatsha eziqatha ^bd, futhi zingemi ngokwazo ngobude bazo ^be, zonke ezinatha amanzi ^bf; ngoba zonke zinikelwe ekufeni ^bg endaweni engaphansi yomhlaba ^{bh
,} ^bi, phakathi kwabantwana babantu ^bj, kulabo abehlela egodini ^bk.

15 Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Mhla usehlela engcwabeni ngenza isililo ^bl, ngasibekela inziki ngenxa yawo, ngavimba izifula zayo, lamanzi amanengi amiswa ^bm; ngenza iLebhanoni ^bn ibe mnyama ngenxa yawo, lezihlahla zonke zeganga zabuna ngenxa yawo. 16 Ngenza izizwe zithuthumele ngomdumo wokuwa kwawo ^bo, lapho ngiwehlisela esihogweni ^bp lalabo abehlela egodini ^bq; lazo zonke izihlahla zeEdeni ^br, ikhethelo lokuhle ^bs kweLebhanoni ^bt, zonke ezinatha amanzi ^bu, zaziduduza ^bv endaweni engaphansi yomhlaba ^bw. 17 Lazo zehlela esihogweni kanye lawo ^bx, kulabo ababebulewe ngenkemba ^by; lababeyingalo yawo ababehlala ngaphansi komthunzi wawo phakathi kwezizwe ^bz.

18 Ufanana lobani ngokunjalo ngodumo langobukhulu ^ca phakathi kwezihlahla zeEdeni ^cb? Kanti uzakwehliselwa kanye lezihlahla zeEdeni ^cc endaweni engaphansi yomhlaba ^cd, ulale phakathi kwabangasokanga ^ce, kanye labo ababulewe ngenkemba ^cf. Lo nguFaro ^cg lexuku lakhe lonke, itsho iNkosi uJehova ^ch.
