Jeremiya 22
1Usho kanje uJehova; Yehlela endlini yenkosi yakwaJuda, ukhulume khona leli zwi;
2uthi: ‘Yizwa izwi likaJehova, nkosi yakwaJuda, ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavide, wena nezinceku zakho nabantu bakho abangena ngala masango.
3Usho kanje uJehova; Yenza ukulunga nokulunga, usindise ophangiwe esandleni somcindezeli; futhi ningenzi okubi, ningenzi ubudlova kumfokazi, nentandane noma kumfelokazi, futhi ningachithi igazi elingenacala kule ndawo.
4Ngokuba uma nenza lokhu ngempela, kuyakungena ngamasango ale ndlu amakhosi ahlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavide, agibele izinqola namahhashi, yena nezinceku zakhe nabantu bakhe.
5Kepha uma ningawezwa lawa mazwi, ngiyazifunga mina, usho uJehova, ukuthi le ndlu iyakuba yihlane.
6Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova endlini yenkosi yakwaJuda, uthi: “UyiGileyadi kimi nenhloko yeLebanoni; nokho impela ngiyakukwenza ugwadule nemizi engahlalwa muntu.
7Ngiyakunilungisela abachithi, kube yilowo nalowo abe nezikhali zakhe, bagawule imisedari yakho ekhethiweyo, bayiphonse emlilweni.
8Izizwe eziningi ziyakudlula kulo muzi, zithi, kube yilowo nalowo kumakhelwane wakhe: ‘UJehova wenzeleni lokhu kulo muzi omkhulu na?
9Bazakuthi: Kungokuba basishiya isivumelwano sikaJehova uNkulunkulu wabo, bakhonza abanye onkulunkulu, babakhonza.
10Ningamkhaleli ofileyo, ningamlileli; kodwa mkhaleleni ngomunyu omukayo, ngokuba akasayikubuya, alibone izwe lakubo.
11Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova ngoShalumi, indodana kaJosiya, inkosi yakwaJuda, owabusa esikhundleni sikayise uJosiya, owasuka kule ndawo, uthi: akasayikubuyela khona;
12Kodwa uyofela endaweni abamthumbe kuyo njengesiboshwa, futhi ngeke aphinde alibone leli zwe.
13Maye kulowo owakha indlu yakhe ngobubi, namakamelo akhe ngobubi; osebenzisa umsebenzi womakhelwane wakhe ngaphandle kwenkokhelo futhi angamniki umsebenzi wakhe;
14othi: Ngizazakhela indlu ebanzi lamakamelo amakhulu, ngimkhandele amafasitele; futhi lalimbozwe ngemisedari, lipendwe ngokubomvu.
15Uyabusa, ngokuba uzimboze ngokhuni lomsedari na? Uyihlo akadlanga yini, anathe, enze ukwahlulela nokulunga, kwaba kuhle kuye na?
16Walungisa icala labampofu nabampofu; kwase kuba kuhle kuye; kwakungesikho ukungazi mina? kusho uJehova.
17Kodwa amehlo akho nenhliziyo yakho akukona nje kuphela ukuhaha kwakho nokuchitha igazi elingenacala nokucindezelwa nobudlova ukuze ukwenze.
18Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova ngoJehoyakimi indodana kaJosiya, inkosi yakwaJuda, uthi: Bangaze bamkhalele bathi: Hawu, mfowethu! noma, O dadewethu! bangase bangabubuli ngaye bathi: “Awu, nkosi! noma: O inkazimulo yakhe!
19Uzangcwatshwa ngokungcwatshwa kwembongolo, adonswe alahlwe ngaphandle kwamasango eJerusalema.
20Khuphukela eLebanoni, ubize; phakamisa izwi lakho eBashani, ukhale usemasimini, ngokuba zonke izithandwa zakho zichithiwe.
21Ngakhuluma kuwe usenenhlanhla; kodwa wena wathi: Kangifuni ukuzwa. Lokhu kwakuyindlela yakho kwasebusheni bakho, ukuthi awuzange ulalele izwi lami.
22Umoya uyakuqeda bonke abelusi bakho, nezithandwa zakho ziya ekuthunjweni; impela lapho uyakuba namahloni, ube namahloni ngabo bonke ububi bakho.
23Wena owakhileyo eLebanoni, owakha isidleke sakho emisedarini, yeka ukuthi uzakuba lesihawu lapho ubuhlungu bukwehlela, ubuhlungu bobelethayo!
24Kuphila kwami, usho uJehova, noma uKhoniya, indodana kaJehoyakimi, inkosi yakwaJuda, ebeyindandatho yophawu esandleni sami sokunene, bengiyakukukhipha khona;
25Futhi ngiyokunikela esandleni sabafuna ukuphila kwakho, nasesandleni salabo osaba ubuso babo, nasesandleni sikaNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, nasesandleni samaKaledi.
26Futhi ngiyokuxosha wena nonyoko owakuzalayo niyise kwelinye izwe lapho ningazalelwanga khona; futhi lapho uyofela khona.
27Kodwa ezweni abafuna ukubuyela kulo, ngeke babuyele khona.
28Lo muntu uKoniya uyisithombe esidelelekile esiphukileyo na? Uyisitsha esingathokozisiyo na? Bakhishelwani, yena nenzalo yakhe, baphonswe ezweni abangalazi na?
