UNkulunkulu ukhuthaza u-Israyeli ukuthi uzowabuyisela
1Izwi elafika kuJehova kuJeremiya ngomnyaka weshumi kaSedekiya, inkosi yakwaJuda, owawungumnyaka weshumi nesishiyagalombili kaNebukadinesari.
2Ngokuba impi yenkosi yaseBabele yalivimbezela iJerusalema, nomprofethi uJeremiya wayeboshiwe egcekeni letilongo elalisendlini yenkosi yakwaJuda.
3Ngokuba uZedekiya, inkosi yakwaJuda, wamvalela, wathi: “Uprofethelani uthi: ‘Isho kanje iNkosi, ithi: Bheka, ngiyawunikela lo muzi esandleni senkosi yaseBabele, futhi iyakuwuthatha;
4UZedekiya, inkosi yakwaJuda, ngeke aphunyuke esandleni samaKhaledi, kodwa ngokuqinisekile uyonikelwa esandleni senkosi yaseBhabhiloni futhi akhulume nayo umlomo nomlomo, futhi amehlo ayo ayobona amehlo ayo;
5Futhi iyoyisa uZedekiya eBhabhiloni, futhi uyohlala lapho ngize ngimvakashele, kusho uJehova; noma nilwa namaKaledi, aniyikuphumelela.
6UJeremiya wathi: “Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:
7Bheka, uHanameli indodana kaShalumi, uyihlokazi, uyakufika kuwe, ethi: ‘Zithengele isiqinti sami sezwe esise-Anathoti, ngokuba unelungelo lokuhlenga ukuba usithenge.
8Khona-ke uHanameli, indodana kamalume, weza kimi egcekeni letilongo njengezwi likaJehova, wathi kimi: “Thenga isiqephu sezwe sami esise-Anathoti esezweni lakwaBhenjamini; Ngelakho ilungelo lefa, nensindiso ingeyakho; uzithengele yona. Ngase ngazi ukuthi kwakuyizwi likaJehova.
9Ngasithenga isiqinti kuHanameli indodana kababekazi owayese-Anathoti, ngamlinganisela imali, amashekeli ayishumi nesikhombisa esiliva.
10Ngaloba ubufakazi, ngabunamathelisa, ngathatha ofakazi, ngamkala imali esikalini.
11Ngase ngathatha incwadi yokuthenga, leyo ebekwe uphawu ngokomthetho nangokwesiko, kanye neyayivuliwe.
12Ngamnika uBaruki indodana kaNeriya indodana kaMahaseya ubufakazi bokuthengisa phambi kwamehlo kaHanameli indodana kababekazi naphambi kofakazi ababesayine incwadi yokuthengisa phambi kwabo. Wonke amaJuda ayehlezi enkantolo yetilongo.
13Ngamyala uBharuki phambi kwabo ngathi:
14Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: “Thatha lezi zincwadi, incwadi yokuthenga, leyo enamathelisiwe, nale ncwadi evuliwe; wakufaka embizeni yebumba, ukuze ahlale izinsuku eziningi.
15Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: “Izindlu namasimu nezivini kuyakubuye kuthathwe njengefa kuleli zwe.
16Lapho nginika uBharuki indodana kaNeriya incwadi yokuthenga, ngakhuleka kuJehova ngathi:
17O Jehova! bheka, wena wenze izulu nomhlaba ngamandla akho amakhulu nangengalo yakho eyeluliweyo; akukho lutho olunzima kuwe.
18Wena uhawukela izinkulungwane, uphindisele ububi bawoyise esifubeni sabantwana babo emva kwabo: oMkhulu, uNkulunkulu onamandla, uJehova Sebawoti, igama lakhe,
19Umkhulu ngesiluleko, unamandla emsebenzini, ngokuba amehlo akho avulekile kuzo zonke izindlela zabantwana babantu ukuba unike, kube yilowo nalowo njengezindlela zakhe, njengokwezithelo zezenzo zakhe.
20Owenza izibonakaliso nezimangaliso ezweni laseGibithe kuze kube namuhla, naku-Israyeli naphakathi kwabanye abantu; futhi wakwenza igama njengoba kunjalo namuhla;
21Wakhipha abantu bakho u-Israyeli ezweni laseGibithe ngezibonakaliso, nangezimangaliso, nangesandla esinamandla, nangengalo eyeluliweyo, nangokwesaba okukhulu;
22Wabapha leli zwe owathembisa ngalo koyise ngesifungo ukubanika lona, izwe elichichima ubisi nezinyosi;
23Bangena, balidla; kepha abalilalelanga izwi lakho, abahambanga emthethweni wakho; abenzanga lutho lwakho konke owabayala ngakho ukuba bakwenze; ngalokho ubehlisele bonke lobu bubi phezu kwabo.
24Bheka, izintaba zifikile emzini ukuwuthatha; umuzi wanikelwa esandleni samaKaledi alwa nawo, ngenxa yenkemba, nendlala, nesifo; futhi bheka, uyakubona.
25Wathi kimi: ‘Nkosi Jehova, zithengele isiqephu sezwe ngemali, uthathe ofakazi; ngoba umuzi wanikelwa esandleni samaKaledi.
26Izwi likaJehova lafika kuJeremiya, lathi:
27Bheka, nginguJehova, uNkulunkulu wenyama yonke; kukhona okunzima kimi na?
28Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Bheka, ngiyawunikela lo muzi esandleni samaKaledi nasesandleni sikaNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, futhi uyakuwuthatha.
29Futhi amaKhaledi alwa nalo muzi azofika awuthungele ngomlilo lo muzi awushise kanye nezindlu abanikela phezu kophahla lwazo impepho kuBhali futhi bathululela abanye onkulunkulu iminikelo yokuphuzwa ukuze bangidlale.
30Ngokuba abantwana bakwa-Israyeli nabantwana bakwaJuda benzile okubi kuphela phambi kwami kwasebusheni babo, ngokuba abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bangicunule ngomsebenzi wezandla zabo kuphela,” usho uJehova.
31Ngokuba lo muzi uyisisulu kimi intukuthelo yami nokufutheka kwami kusukela osukwini abawakha ngalo kuze kube namuhla; ukuthi ngizoyisusa ebusweni bami,
32Ngenxa yabo bonke ububi babantwana bakwa-Israyeli nabantwana bakwaJuda abakwenzile ukuze bangicunule, bona, namakhosi abo, nezikhulu zabo, nabapristi babo, nabaprofethi babo, namadoda akwaJuda, nabakhileyo eJerusalema.
33Bangifulathela, kabazange baphenduke; nakuba ngabafundisa ngokuvuka ekuseni ngibafundise, nokho abalalelanga ukuze bathole ukulaywa.
34Kodwa bamisa izinengiso zabo endlini ebizwa ngebizo lami, ukuze bayingcolise.
35Bakha izindawo eziphakemeyo zikaBali ezisesigodini sendodana kaHinomu ukuba badabulise amadodana abo namadodakazi abo emlilweni ngenxa kaMoloki; engingabayalanga, nokungangenanga enhliziyweni yami ukuthi bayakwenza lesi sinengiso ukuba benze uJuda one.
36“Manje, usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ngalo muzi enisho ngawo ukuthi: ‘Uyakunikelwa esandleni senkosi yaseBabele ngenkemba, nangendlala, nangesifo;
37Bheka, ngiyakubabutha emazweni onke engabaxosha kuwo ngentukuthelo yami nangokufutheka kwami nangentukuthelo enkulu; ngiyakubabuyisela kule ndawo, ngibenze bahlale belondekile.
38Bazakuba ngabantu bami, lami ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo.
39Ngizabanika inhliziyo eyodwa lendlelanye, ukuze bangesabe kuze kube nininini, kube yinzuzo yabo leyabantwana babo emva kwabo.
40Ngiyakwenza nabo isivumelwano esiphakade, ukuthi angiyikusuka kubo ukuba ngibenzele okuhle; kepha ngiyakufaka ukungesaba ezinhliziyweni zabo, ukuze bangasuki kimi.
41Yebo, ngiyakuthokoza ngabo ukuba ngibenzele okuhle, ngibatshale nokutshala kuleli zwe ngayo yonke inhliziyo yami nangawo wonke umphefumulo wami.
42Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi: Njengoba ngehlisele phezu kwalababantu bonke lobububi obukhulu, ngokunjalo ngizakwehlisela phezu kwabo konke okuhle engikukhulume kibo.
43Kuyakuthengwa amazwe kuleli zwe enisho ngalo ukuthi: Liyihlane elingenamuntu nasilwane; linikelwe esandleni samaKaledi.
44Abantu kumelwe bathenge amasimu ngemali futhi basayine izincwadi futhi babeke uphawu, futhi bathathe ofakazi ezweni lakwaBenjamini nasezindaweni ezizungezile eJerusalema nasemizini yakwaJuda nasemizini yasezintabeni nasemizini yasesigodini nasemadolobheni asesigodini. Imizi yaseningizimu, ngokuba ngiyakushintsha isabelo sayo,” usho uJehova.
