“YANAKA AMENSO YANDI KU KULILE FILAMBA”

(Inyimbo sha Bulanda 1:1–2:22)

Yeremia atendeke ukwimba inyimbo sha bulanda na mashiwi ya kuti: “Ifyo umusumba waikala weka uwafulilemo abantu, aba nga mukamfwilwa, uwali mukalamba mu nko! Uwali mwana wa mfumu ku fyalo fya bulashi, nomba aba mu mulaasa!” Pa kulondolola umulandu Yerusalemu abelele muli ubu bwafya, kasesema Yeremia atila: “Yehova namulengelo bulanda pa bwingi bwa bupulumushi bwakwe.”—Inyimbo sha Bulanda 1:1, 5.

Ukulondolola Yerusalemu kwati mwanakashi uwafwilwa umulume na bana, cili kwati Yerusalemu e uleipusha ukuti: ‘Bushe kwabo kukalipwa ngo kukalipwa kwandi?’ Apepa kuli Lesa pa balwani bakwe ukuti: “Ububi bwabo bonse bwise ku cinso cenu; citeni kuli bene ifyo mwacita kuli ine pa fya bupulumushi fyandi fyonse; pantu kwafulo kuteta kwandi, no mutima wandi naubongoteka.”—Inyimbo sha Bulanda 1:12, 22.

Pa mulandu wa kumfwa sana ubulanda, Yeremia atila: “Mu cifukushi ca bukali e mo [Yehova] aputwilo lusengo lonse lwa kwa Israele; abwesesha ku numa ukuboko kwakwe kwa kulyo ukukufumya ku cinso ca mulwani; no koca muli Yakobo ngo mulilo wa lubingu, uupya ukushinguluka.” Pa kulangilila ifyo aumfwile sana ubulanda, kasesema alila ati: “Yanaka amenso yandi ku kulile filamba, umutima wandi wasakamana, lyapongolokela pa nshi ilibu lyandi.” Na bapitanshila bapapa no kusoso kuti: “Bushe uyu e wa musuma wa ciyembo, ukusekelela kwa bonse aba pano isonde?”—Inyimbo sha Bulanda 2:3, 11, 15.

“MWIFISA KUTWI KWENU KU KUPEMA KWANDI”

(Inyimbo sha Bulanda 3:1–5:22)

Mu Inyimbo sha Bulanda icipandwa 3, bapashanya uluko lwa Israele ku “muntu” umo. Nangu ca kuti uyu muntu alecula, aimba ukuti: “Yehova musuma ku bamulolela, ku muntu uumufwaya.” Ilyo alepepa kuli Lesa wa cine, alombo kuti: “Ishiwi lyandi mwalyumfwile, nati, Mwifisa kutwi kwenu ku kupema kwandi, ku nkuuta yandi.” Pa kulomba Yehova ukuti alolekeshe pa balwani bakwe, atila: “Mukabwesesha kuli bene icilandushi, mwe Yehova, umwabele milimo ya minwe yabo.”—Inyimbo sha Bulanda 3:1, 25, 56, 64.

Yeremia alanda fyonse ifyo aleumfwa pa fyabipa ifyacitike mu myeshi 18 iyo Yerusalemu ashingilwe, kabili alila ati: “Ukukandwa kwa mwana mwanakashi wa bantu bandi kukalamba ukucilo kwa Sodomu uwawishiwa mu nshita inininini, tapali na babikako amaboko.” Yeremia akonkanyapo ukuti: “Cawamo kuba abafwa ku lupanga ukucilo kuba abafwa ku cipowe; aba bashiliila, bawishiwa pa kubulwe fisabo fya mu cilime.”—Inyimbo sha Bulanda 4:6, 9.

Mu lwimbo lwalenga busano, cili kwati abekashi ba mu Yerusalemu e balelanda. Batila: “Ibukisheni, mwe Yehova, icatuponena; lolesheni, no kumono kuseebana kwesu.” Ilyo balelanda pa fyo balecula, balomba ukuti: “Imwe, mwe Yehova, mwaikala umuyayaya, ne cipuna cenu ku nkulo ne nkulo. Tubwesesheni kuli imwe, mwe Yehova, lekeni tubwele; lengeni cipya cipya inshiku shesu nga ku kale.”—Inyimbo sha Bulanda 5:1, 19, 21.

Ala calicindama na ifwe ukucetekela Yehova umupwilapo e lyo ne Cebo cakwe!—AbaHebere 4:12.
