Jeremiya

32 Jehova wakhuluma naJeremiya ngemnyaka wesi-10 wekubusa kwaSedekiya inkhosi yakaJuda, lobekungumnyaka wesi-18 wekubusa kwaNebukhadnezari.*+ 2 Ngaleso sikhatsi emabutfo enkhosi yaseBhabhulona abevimbetele iJerusalema, futsi umphrofethi Jeremiya bekavalelwe eBaleni Labogadzi+ lebelisesigodlweni* senkhosi yakaJuda. 3 Sedekiya inkhosi yakaJuda abemvalele lapho,+ atsi: “Uphrofethelani tintfo letinje? Utsite: ‘Naku Jehova lakushoko: “Lelidolobha ngitalinikela enkhosini yaseBhabhulona futsi italincoba,+ 4 naSedekiya inkhosi yakaJuda angeke aphunyule kumaKhaledi, ngobe utawunikelwa enkhosini yaseBhabhulona. Utawukhuluma nayo buso nebuso.”’+ 5 ‘Lenkhosi itawutsatsa Sedekiya imyise eBhabhulona, futsi utawuhlala lapho ngize ngincume kutsi ngentani ngaye,’ kusho Jehova. ‘Ngisho nobe nichubeka nilwa nemaKhaledi angeke niphumelele.’”+

6 Jeremiya watsi: “Jehova ukhulume nami watsi: 7 ‘Kutawufika Hanameli indvodzana yaShalumi longubabe wakho lomkhulu,* atsi kuwe: “Tsenga insimu yami lese-Anathothi+ ngobe nguwe lonelilungelo lelikhulu lekuyitsenga.”’”*+

8 Hanameli indvodzana yababe lomkhulu weta kimi eBaleni Labogadzi njengobe nje Jehova abeshito. Wafike watsi: “Ngicela utsenge insimu yami lese-Anathothi eveni lakaBhenjamini ngobe nguwe lonelilungelo lekuyitsenga nelekuyitsatsa ibe yakho. Ngako-ke yitsenge.” Ngatsi nangiva loku ngavele ngati kutsi leli bekulivi laJehova.

9 Ngako lensimu lebeyise-Anathothi ngayitsenga kuHanameli indvodzana yababe lomkhulu. Ngamkalela imali yayo,+ kwaba tinhlavu telisiliva letingu-10 naletinye letingemagremu langu-80.* 10 Ngemuva kwaloko ngabhala litayitela,+ ngaligocota ngase ngilibeka luphawu, ngabita nabofakazi,+ futsi ngakala nalemali etikalini. 11 Ngabese ngitsatsa lelitayitela, lelo lebeligocotiwe futsi labekwa luphawu ngalokusemtsetfweni nangekuvumelana nemiyalo lebekiwe, nalelo lebelingakagocotwa, 12 ngalinika Bharuki+ indvodzana yaNeriya+ loyindvodzana yaMahaseya, embikwaHanameli indvodzana yababe lomkhulu, nasembikwabofakazi lebebalisayinile kanye nawo onkhe emaJuda labehleti eBaleni Labogadzi.+

13 Ngabese ngikhuluma naBharuki embikwabo ngatsi: 14 “Naku lokushiwo nguJehova wemabutfo longuNkulunkulu wema-Israyeli: ‘Tsatsa lamatayitela, lokungulelitayitela leligocotiwe labekwa luphawu kanye nalelo lelingakagocotwa, uwafake esitjeni selubumba kuze atawuhlala sikhatsi lesidze.’ 15 Ngobe naku lokushiwo nguJehova wemabutfo, longuNkulunkulu wema-Israyeli: ‘Kulelive kutawuphindze kutsengwe emasimu, tindlu kanye nemasimu emagilebisi.’”+

16 Ngemuva kwekunika Bharuki indvodzana yaNeriya lelitayitela, ngathantaza kuJehova ngatsi: 17 “Awu Nkhosi Lephakeme Jehova! Wena wente emazulu nemhlaba ngemandla akho lamakhulu+ nangesandla sakho lesinemandla. Kute lokungakwehlula. 18 Wentela bantfu labatinkhulungwane umusa,* kodvwa wente kutsi emadvodzana atfole imiphumela yetono tabobabe bawo.*+ Wena unguNkulunkulu weliciniso, unemandla futsi umkhulu, libito lakho nguJehova wemabutfo. 19 Tinjongo* takho tiphakeme futsi imisebenti yakho mikhulu,+ emehlo akho abuka tonkhe tintfo letentiwa bantfu,+ kuze wonkhe umuntfu umnike lokumfanele kuye ngetento takhe nemisebenti yakhe.+ 20 Wenta tibonakaliso netimangaliso eveni laseGibhithe, nalamuhla solo tiyatiwa futsi ngaloko wenta kutsi libito lakho latiwe kuma-Israyeli nasemkhatsini wabo bonkhe bantfu,+ njengobe nje nalamuhla lisatiwa. 21 Wabakhipha eGibhithe bantfu bakho lokungema-Israyeli, wabakhipha ngetibonakaliso, ngetimangaliso, ngesandla sakho lesinemandla nangetento takho letesabekako.+

22 “Ngemuva kwesikhatsi, wabanika lelive lebewufunge kutsi utalinika bokhokho babo,+ lokulive leligeleta lubisi neluju.+ 23 Befike bahlala kulo, kodvwa abazange balilalele livi lakho nobe balandzele umtsetfo wakho. Kute ngisho nakunye labakwenta kuloko lobewubayale kutsi bakwente, ngako wabehlisela yonkhe lenhlekelele.+ 24 Kufike emadvodza kulelidolobha futsi akha lutsango kuze alivimbetele.+ Ngako litawunikelwa esandleni semaKhaledi lalwa nalo. Bantfu batawufa babulawe yinkemba,+ yindlala nesifo lesibulalako.+ Sekwenteke konkhe loko lowakusho, njengobe nje nawe ubona. 25 Ngisho nobe lelidolobha litawunikelwa esandleni semaKhaledi, kodvwa wena Nkhosi Lephakeme Jehova ukhulume nami watsi: ‘Titsengele lensimu futsi ubite bofakazi.’”

26 Ngemuva kwaloko Jehova wakhuluma naJeremiya watsi: 27 “Mine nginguJehova Nkulunkulu wabo bonkhe bantfu. Ikhona yini intfo lengangehlula? 28 Ngako naku lokushiwo nguJehova: ‘Lelidolobha ngilinikela kumaKhaledi nasesandleni saNebukhadnezari* inkhosi yaseBhabhulona futsi utalincoba.+ 29 EmaKhaledi lahlasela lelidolobha atawuta afike alilumeke ngemlilo futsi lishe lingcongce,+ kushe netindlu lapho labantfu bebentela khona Bhali imihlatjelo eluphahleni lwato, futsi batfulula neminikelo yalokunatfwako, bayitfululela labanye bonkulunkulu kuze bangicansule.’+

30 “Jehova utsi: ‘Kusukela ebusheni babo, bantfu bakaJuda nebaka-Israyeli bebasolo nje benta lokubi emehlweni ami;+ bantfu baka-Israyeli bahlale bangicansula ngetintfo labatentako. 31 Ngobe kusukela ngelilanga lelidolobha lelakhiwa ngalo kuze kube ngulamuhla, belisolo lingikwatisa futsi lingitfukutselisa.+ Loku kutangenta ngilisuse embikwami,+ 32 ngenca yabo bonkhe lobubi lobentiwe bantfu baka-Israyeli nebakaJuda. Bonkhe bangitfukutselisile, lokufaka ekhatsi emakhosi,+ tindvuna,+ baphristi, baphrofethi+ kanye nebantfu bakaJuda nebaseJerusalema. 33 Kunekutsi banginake, bangifulatsela;+ nanobe bengihlale ngetama kubafundzisa* kodvwa kute ngisho namunye kubo lowangilalela nangimyala.+ 34 Babeka tithico tabo letenyanyekako endlini lebitwa ngelibito lami futsi bayingcolisa.+ 35 Ngetulu kwaloko, bakhela Bhali tindzawo letiphakeme eSigodzini seNdvodzana yaHinomu,*+ kuze bashise emadvodzana abo nemadvodzakati abo emlilweni, bentela Moleki umhlatjelo,+ intfo lengingazange ngitsi abayente.+ Angizange sengikucabange nekukucabanga* kutsi ngibacele bente intfo leyenyanyeka kangaka. Ngekwenta loku, emaJuda ona kakhulu.’

36 “Ngako-ke naku lokushiwo nguJehova Nkulunkulu wema-Israyeli mayelana nalelidolobha lenitsi litawunikelwa enkhosini yaseBhabhulona, ilihlasele ngenkemba, lihlaselwe nayindlala kanye nesifo lesibulalako: 37 ‘Ngitabagcogca ndzawonye ngibalandze kuwo onkhe emave lengibahlakatele kuwo ngesikhatsi ngikwatile, nginelulaka futsi ngitfukutsele kakhulu.+ Ngitababuyisa kulendzawo, ngibente bahlale ngekuthula.+ 38 Ngitawuba nguNkulunkulu wabo, bona babe bantfu bami.+ 39 Ngitabenta babe nenhlitiyo yinye+ futsi batiphatse ngendlela lefanako kuze bahlale bangesaba, ngobe loko kutawusita bona kanye nebantfwababo.+ 40 Ngitawenta nabo sivumelwane saphakadze,+ sekutsi angeke ngiyekele kubentela lokuhle;+ futsi tinhlitiyo tabo ngitatenta tingesabe, kuze bangangishiyi.+ 41 Kutangijabulisa kubentela lokuhle,+ futsi ngenhlitiyo yami yonkhe nangemphefumulo* wami wonkhe ngitawenta kutsi bachubeke bahleli kulelive.’”+

42 “Ngobe Jehova utsi: ‘Njengobe nje labantfu ngibente behlelwa ngiyo yonkhe lenhlekelele, nyalo ngitabentela tonkhe letintfo letinhle lengibetsembise tona.+ 43 Kutawuphindze kutsengwe emasimu kulelive+ lenikhuluma ngalo nitsi: “Lendzawo ayinamsebenti, kute umuntfu nobe silwane lesihlala kuyo, futsi inikelwe kumaKhaledi.”’

44 “Jehova utsi: ‘Kutawutsengwa emasimu, kubhalwe ematayitela futsi agocotwe abekwe luphawu, kutawubitwa nabofakazi bete eveni lakaBhenjamini,+ bete etindzaweni letiseceleni kweJerusalema, emadolobheni akaJuda,+ emadolobheni lasesifundzeni setintsaba, emadolobheni lasendzaweni lebekile,+ kanye nasemadolobheni laseningizimu, ngobe ngitababuyisa bantfu labatfunjiwe.’”+
