1Lawa angamazwi encwadi umprofethi uJeremiya ayithumela eJerusalema ensalini yamalunga athunjwa, nakubapristi, nakubaprofethi, nakubantu bonke uNebukadinesari abathumba eJerusalema eBhabhiloni;
2(Ngemva kwalokho inkosi uJekoniya, nendlovukazi, nabathenwa, nezikhulu zakwaJuda nezaseJerusalema, nababazi nabakhandi baphuma eJerusalema;)
3ngesandla sika-Elasa, indodana kaShafani, noGemariya indodana kaHilikiya, uSedekiya, inkosi yakwaJuda, abathumela eBabele kuNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, wathi:
4Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, kubo bonke abathunjwa engibathumbile eJerusalema, ngabayisa eBabele;
5Yakhani izindlu, nihlale kuzo; tshalani izivande, nidle izithelo zazo;
6Thathani abafazi, nizale amadodana namadodakazi; nithathele amadodana enu abafazi, ninike amadodakazi enu amadoda, azale amadodana namadodakazi; ukuze nande khona, ninganciphi.
7Nifune ukuthula komuzi enganiyisa kuwo njengabathunjwa, niwuthandazele kuJehova; ngoba ekuthuleni kwalo lizakuba lokuthula.
8Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Maningakhohliswa abaprofethi benu nabathakathi benu abaphakathi kwenu, ningawalaleli amaphupho enu eniwaphuphayo.
9Ngokuba baprofetha amanga kini ngegama lami; angibathumanga, usho uJehova.
10Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Emva kokuba iminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa isiphelile eBabele, ngiyakunibheka, ngiligcwalise izwi lami elihle ngokunibuyisela kule ndawo.
11Ngokuba ngiyazi mina imicabango engiyicabangayo ngani,” usho uJehova, “imicabango yokuthula, kungabi ngeyokubi ukuba ngininike ithemba.
12Khona niyakungibiza, nihambe, nikhuleke kimi, ngiyakunilalela;
13Niyakungifuna, ningifumane, lapho ningifuna ngenhliziyo yenu yonke.
14Ngiyakufunyanwa kini, usho uJehova; ngiyakukubuyisa ukuthunjwa kwenu, nginibuthe ezizweni zonke nasezindaweni zonke lapho enginixoshele khona,” usho uJehova; ngizalibuyisela endaweni lapho enganithumbela khona.
15Ngokuba nithi: ‘UJehova wasivusela abaprofethi eBabele;
16Yazini akushoyo uJehova ngenkosi ehlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavide, nangabo bonke abantu abahlala kulo muzi, nangabazalwane benu abangayanga nani ekudingisweni;
17Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: “Bheka, ngiyakuthuma phezu kwabo inkemba, nendlala, nesifo, ngibenze babe njengamakhiwane amabi, angenakudliwa, mabi kakhulu.
18Ngiyakubasukela ngenkemba, nangendlala, nangesifo, ngibanikele ukuba anyikinywe emibusweni yonke yomhlaba, abe yisiqalekiso, nesimangaliso, nenhlekiso, nesihlamba phakathi kwabo. Zonke izizwe engibaxoshele kuzo.
19Ngokuba abawalalelanga amazwi ami,” usho uJehova, “engawathuma kubo ngesandla sezinceku zami abaprofethi, wavuka ekuseni, wabathuma; kepha anizwanga,” usho uJehova.
20Zwanini-ke izwi likaJehova nina bonke abathunjwa engibathumbile besuka eJerusalema baya eBabele.
21Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ngo-Ahabi indodana kaKholaja, nakuSedekiya indodana kaMahaseya, abaprofetha amanga kini egameni lami; Bheka, ngiyabanikela esandleni sikaNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele; futhi iyakubabulala phambi kwamehlo enu;
22Kuyakufikelwa isiqalekiso phezu kwabo bonke abathunjwa bakwaJuda abaseBabele, ngokuthi: ‘UJehova uyakukwenza ube njengoSedekiya nanjengo-Ahabi owosa inkosi yaseBabele emlilweni;
23Ngokuba benze ububi kwa-Israyeli, baphinga nabafazi babakhelwane babo, bakhuluma amazwi amanga egameni lami engingabayalanga ngawo; nami ngiyakwazi, ngingufakazi,” usho uJehova.
24Futhi kumelwe ukhulume noShemaya waseNehelami uthi:
25Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: ‘Ngenxa yokuthi wathumela izincwadi egameni lakho kubo bonke abantu abaseJerusalema, nakuZefaniya, indodana kaMahaseya, umpristi, nakubo bonke abapristi, futhi wathi:
26INkosi ikumise ube ngumpristi esikhundleni sikaJehoyada umpristi, ukuba ube ngababonisi endlini kaJehova, ngokuba noma ngubani ohlanyayo azenze umprofethi uyakumfaka etilongweni nasezitokisini.
27Pho, awumsolanga ngani uJeremiya wase-Anathoti, ozenza umprofethi ngenxa yenu na?
28Ngakho wathumela kithi eBhabhiloni ukuthi athi: Lokhu kuthunjwa kuyisikhathi eside; akhe izindlu, nihlale kuzo; tshalani izivande, nidle izithelo zazo.
29Umpristi uZefaniya wayifunda le ncwadi ezindlebeni zomprofethi uJeremiya.
30Izwi likaJehova lafika kuJeremiya, lathi:
31Thumela kubo bonke abathunjwa uthi: Utsho njalo uJehova ngoShemaya waseNehelami; Ngokuba uShemaya uprofethile kini, mina angimthumanga, wenza ukuba nikholwe ngamanga.
32Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Bheka, ngiyakuhambela uShemaya waseNehelami nenzalo yakhe; kayikuba lendoda yokuhlala phakathi kwalababantu; futhi ngeke abone okuhle engiyokwenza kubantu bami, kusho uJehova; ngoba wafundisa ukuhlubuka uJehova.
