6 Ngaphindze ngaphakamisa emehlo, futsi ngabona kuchamuka tincola letine emkhatsini wetintsaba letimbili telitfusi. 2 Incola yekucala beyidvonswa ngemahhashi labovu, leyesibili yona beyidvonswa ngemahhashi lamnyama.+ 3 Incola yesitsatfu beyidvonswa ngemahhashi lamhlophe, kantsi leyesine beyidvonswa ngemahhashi lamibalabala futsi lanemacabhacabha.+
4 Ngabuta lengilosi lebeyikhuluma nami ngatsi: “Nkhosi, kumelelani loku?”
5 Lengilosi yangiphendvula yatsi: “Leti tidalwa letine letingumoya*+ lebetime embikweNkhosi yemhlaba wonkhe futsi nyalo setiyaphuma.+ 6 Lencola ledvonswa ngemahhashi lamnyama iya eveni lasenyakatfo;+ lena ledvonswa ngulamhlophe iya enshonalanga;* futsi lena ledvonswa ngemahhashi lanemacabhacabha iya eveni laseningizimu. 7 Lamahhashi lamibalabala bekanesifiso lesikhulu sekuhambahamba emhlabeni.” Lengilosi yabese itsi kuwo: “Phumani niyohambahamba emhlabeni.” Ngako aphuma, ahambahamba emhlabeni.
8 Yabese iyangimemeta futsi yatsi: “Buka, lamahhashi laya enyakatfo ente kutsi Jehova angasalitfukutseleli kakhulu* live lasenyakatfo.”
9 Jehova waphindze wakhuluma nami watsi: 10 “Tsatsa tintfo letinikelwe bantfu labatfunjiwe, utitsatse kuHeldayi, kuThobiya, nakuJedaya. Ngelilanga lelibekiwe ubobese uhamba nalaba lababuya eBhabhulona, niye endlini yaJosaya indvodzana yaZefaniya. 11 Ubotsatsa lisiliva neligolide bese wakha umchele* futsi uwubeke enhloko yaJoshuwa+ umphristi lophakeme, loyindvodzana yaJehosadaki. 12 Ubobese utsi kuye:
“‘Jehova wemabutfo utsi: “Nangu-ke umuntfu lobitwa ngekutsi Lihlumela.+ Utawuhluma endzaweni yakhe futsi akhe lithempeli laJehova.+ 13 Nguye lotawakha lithempeli laJehova, futsi utawukhatinyuliswa. Utawuhlala esihlalweni sakhe sebukhosi+ abuse, aphindze abe ngumphristi, futsi lemisebenti lemibili utayenta ngendlela letawuletsa kuthula.* 14 Lomchele* utawuhlala ethempelini laJehova khona kutawukhunjulwa loko lokwentiwa nguHelemi,* naThobiya, naJedaya+ kanye naHeni* indvodzana yaZefaniya. 15 Nalabo labakhashane batawuta batokwakha lithempeli laJehova.” Nine-ke nitawubese niyati kutsi nguJehova wemabutfo longitfume kini. Letintfo titawenteka nangabe nitakulalela konkhe lokushiwo nguJehova Nkulunkulu wenu.’”
