Jeremiya 2
UJehova ukhuluma no-Israyeli
1Futhi izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:
2Hamba umemeze ezindlebeni zeJerusalema uthi: Usho kanje uJehova; Ngicabanga ngawe, umusa wobusha bakho, uthando lomshado wakho, lapho ungilandela ogwadule, ezweni elingatshalwanga.
3U-Israyeli wayengcwele kuJehova nolibo lwezithelo zakhe; bonke abasidlayo bayokhubeka; okubi kuyakubehlela, usho uJehova.
4Yizwani izwi likaJehova nina ndlu kaJakobe, zizukulwane zonke zendlu ka-Israyeli.
5Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Buni ububi oyihlo ababufumana kimi, baze basuka kude nami, balandela okuyize, baba yize, na?
6Futhi abashongo ukuthi: ‘Uphi uJehova owasikhuphula ezweni laseGibithe, wasihola ehlane, ezweni eliyihlane nelemigodi, ezweni elomileyo nelethunzi lokufa, ezweni elomileyo nelethunzi lokufa. Lapho kungazange kudlule muntu khona nalapho kungazange kuhlale muntu khona?
7“Nganingenisa ezweni elinala, ukuba nidle izithelo zalo nokuhle kwalo; kepha lapho ningena, nalingcolisa izwe lami, nenza ifa lami laba yisinengiso.
8Abapristi abashongo ukuthi: “Uphi uJehova na?” nabaphethe umthetho babengazi Mina;
9Ngalokho ngisakhuluma kini, usho uJehova, ngilwe nabantwana babantwana benu.
10Ngokuba dabulani eziqhingini zaseKitimi, nibone; nithumele eKedari, nilalelisise, nibone ukuthi ikhona yini into enjalo;
11Isizwe sishintshile yini onkulunkulu baso, abangebona onkulunkulu na? kepha abantu bami banana udumo lwabo ngalokho okungasizi ngalutho.
12Mangalani, nina mazulu, ngalokho, nesabe kakhulu, nifutheke kakhulu,” usho uJehova.
13Ngokuba abantu bami benzile okubi okubili; bangishiyile mina, mthombo wamanzi aphilayo, bazimbele imithombo, imithombo eqhekekileyo, engagcini manzi.
14U-Israyeli uyinceku na? uyisigqila sokuzalwa ekhaya na? woniwe ngani?
15Amabhongo ezingonyama abhonga, amemeza phezu kwakhe, enza izwe lakhe laba incithakalo; imizi yakhe yashiswa yangabi nabahlali.
16Abantwana baseNofi naseThahapanesi nabo baphula ukhakhayi lwekhanda lakho.
17Awuzenzelanga lokho ngokushiya uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho lapho ekuhola endleleni na?
18Manje, unani endleleni yaseGibithe ukuba niphuze amanzi aseSihori na? unani endleleni yase-Asiriya ukuba niphuze amanzi omfula na?
19Ububi bakho buyakusola, nezizondo zakho ziyakusola; yazi, ubone ukuthi kuyinto embi nebabayo ukuthi umshiyile uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho nokuthi ukwesaba kwami akukho kuwe, isho iNkosi uJehova Sebawoti.
20Ngokuba ngaphulile ijoka lakho endulo, ngaphula izibopho zakho; wena wathi: Kangiyikweqa; lapho nizulazula niphinga kuwo wonke amagquma aphakeme naphansi kwayo yonke imithi eluhlaza.
21Kodwa mina ngikutshale umvini omuhle, wonke uyimbewu yeqiniso; pho, ungiphendule kanjani ngibe yisithombo esibolile somvini wezizweni na?
22Ngokuba noma ugeza ngodaka, uzithathele insipho eningi, nokho ububi bakho buphambi kwami, isho iNkosi uJehova.
23Ungasho kanjani ukuthi: ‘Angingcoliswanga, angibalandelanga oBali? bheka indlela yakho esigodini, yazi okwenzileyo; wena uyinkana yenkazana enejubane, ehamba ngezindlela zayo;
24imbongolo yasendle ejwayele ihlane, ehogela umoya ngokuthanda kwayo; ngethuba lakhe ngubani ongamxosha? bonke abamfunayo abayikukhathala; ngenyanga yalo bayakulifumana.
25Gcina izinyawo zakho zingagqoki, nomphimbo wakho ekomeni; kodwa wena wathi: Kakukho ithemba. Ngoba ngangibathanda abezizweni, ngabalandela.
26Njengalokhu isela lijabha lapho lifunyanwa, kanjalo indlu yakwa-Israyeli inamahloni; bona, namakhosi abo, nezikhulu zabo, nabapristi babo, nabaprofethi babo,
27lithi esizweni: Wena ungubaba; nasetsheni: Nangikhipha, ngokuba bangifulathele, abangibhekanga ubuso babo; kodwa ngesikhathi sokuhlupheka kwabo bazakuthi: Sukuma usisindise.
28Baphi onkulunkulu bakho ozenzele bona na? mabasukume uma bengakusindisa ngesikhathi sokuhlupheka kwakho; ngoba njengomumo wemizi yakho banjalo onkulunkulu bakho, Juda!
29Niyakungimangalelani na? nonke niphambukile kimi,” usho uJehova.
30Ngibashaye ngeze abantwana benu; abatholanga ukusolwa; inkemba yenu idlile abaprofethi benu njengengonyama ephangayo.
31O sizukulwane, bonani izwi likaJehova. Ngangiyihlane ku-Israyeli na? izwe lobumnyama? Ngalokho abantu bami bathi: “Singamakhosi; asisayikuza kini na?
32Intombi ingakhohlwa yini izivunulo zayo, nomakoti ingubo yakhe, na? Nokho abantu bami bangikhohliwe izinsuku ezingenakubalwa.
33Kungani uzinqumela ekufuneni uthando? ngalokho wafundisa ababi izindlela zakho.
34Esigqebheni sakho kwafunyanwa igazi lemiphefumulo yabampofu abangenacala;
35Kodwa uthi: Ngoba ngimsulwa, isibili ulaka lwakhe luzasuka kimi. Bheka, ngiyakulwa nawe, ngokuba uthi: Angonanga.
36Kungani uzimisele kangaka ukuguqula izindlela zakho? uyakuba namahloni ngeGibithe, njengalokho waba namahloni nge-Asiriya.
37Yebo, kumelwe uphume kuye, nezandla zakho zisekhanda lakho, ngoba uJehova ulahlile ithemba lakho, futhi ngeke uphumelele kukho.
