Jeremiya 34

1Izwi elafika kuJehova kuJeremiya lapho uNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, nayo yonke impi yakhe, nayo yonke imibuso yomhlaba yombuso wakhe, nabo bonke abantu belwa neJerusalema nemizi yalo yonke, lathi:

2Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Hamba, ukhulume kuSedekiya, inkosi yakwaJuda, uthi kuye: ‘Isho kanje iNkosi, ithi; bheka, ngiyawunikela lo muzi esandleni senkosi yaseBabele, futhi izowushisa ngomlilo.

3Awuyikuphunyuka esandleni sakhe, kepha uyakubanjwa nokunikelwa esandleni sakhe; amehlo akho ayobona amehlo enkosi yaseBhabhiloni, futhi iyokhuluma nawe umlomo nomlomo, futhi kumelwe uye eBhabhiloni.

4Yizwa izwi likaJehova, Sedekiya, nkosi yakwaJuda! Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova ngawe: Kawuyikufa ngenkemba.

5Kepha wena uyakufa ngokuthula, nangokushiswa kwawoyihlo, amakhosi akuqala ayephambi kwakho, bayakukushisela impepho; bayakulilela, bathi: “Awu, Nkosi! ngoba mina ngikhulumile ilizwi, kutsho uJehova.

6Umprofethi uJeremiya wawakhuluma onke lawa mazwi kuZedekiya, inkosi yakwaJuda, eJerusalema,

7Lapho impi yenkosi yaseBhabhiloni ilwa neJerusalema nayo yonke imizi yakwaJuda eyayisele, neLakishi ne-Azeka, ngoba le mizi eyinqaba yayisele emizini yakwaJuda.

8Leli yizwi elafika kuJehova kuJeremiya ngemva kokuba inkosi uZedekiya yenze isivumelwano nabo bonke abantu ababeseJerusalema ukuba bakhalele ukukhululwa kwabo;

9ukuthi kube yilowo nalowo akhulule isigqila sakhe, kube yilowo nalowo isigqilakazi sakhe, umHeberu noma umHeberukazi; ukuze kungabi khona omkhonzayo, umJuda umfowabo.

10Lapho zonke izikhulu nabo bonke abantu ababengene esivumelwaneni bezwa ukuthi, kwaba yilowo nalowo kwakumelwe adedele inceku yakhe nencekukazi yakhe ukuba ihambe, ukuze bangabe besabakhonza, balalela bahambe.

11Kodwa kamuva baphenduka babuyisela izinceku nezigqilakazi ababezikhulule bazenza izigqila zezinceku nezincekukazi.

12Ngakho izwi likaJehova lafika kuJeremiya livela kuJehova, lathi:

13Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: ‘Ngenza isivumelwano nawoyihlo mhla ngibakhipha ezweni laseGibithe endlini yobugqila, ngathi:

14Ekupheleni kweminyaka eyisikhombisa liyakukhulula, kube yilowo nalowo umfowabo, umHeberu owathengiswa kuwe; uma ekusebenzele iminyaka eyisithupha, uyakumkhulula kuwe;

15Manje seniphendukile nenza okulungile emehlweni ami ngokumemeza kube yilowo nalowo inkululeko yomakhelwane wakhe; futhi wenze isivumelwano phambi kwami endlini ebizwa ngegama lami.

16Kodwa naphenduka, nalihlambalaza igama lami, nabuyisela, kwaba yilowo nalowo isigqila sakhe, kwaba yilowo nalowo incekukazi yakhe enayikhulula ngokuthanda kwenu, nabathobisa ukuba babe yizinceku nezincekukazi zenu.

17Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Aningilalelanga ngokumemezela inkululeko, kube yilowo nalowo kumfowabo, kube yilowo nalowo kumakhelwane wakhe; bhekani, ngiyakunibikela inkululeko, usho uJehova, enkembeni, nesifo, nasendlaleni; ngiyakukuphakamisa emibusweni yonke yomhlaba.

18Ngiyakubanika abantu abeqa isivumelwano sami, abangawagcinanga amazwi esivumelwano abasenza phambi kwami, lapho behlahlela ithole kabili, bedabula phakathi kwezingxenye zalo,

19izikhulu zakwaJuda nezikhulu zaseJerusalema, abathenwa, nabapristi, nabantu bonke bezwe abadabula phakathi kwezingxenye zethole;

20Ngiyakubanikela esandleni sezitha zabo nasesandleni sabafuna ukuphila kwabo; futhi izidumbu zabo ziyoba ukudla kwezinyoni zezulu nokwezilwane zasendle zomhlaba.

21Futhi ngiyonikela uZedekiya, inkosi yakwaJuda, nezikhulu zakhe esandleni sezitha zabo nasesandleni salabo abafuna ukuphila kwabo nasesandleni sebutho lempi yenkosi yaseBhabhiloni ekhuphuke ivela kini.

22Bheka, ngiyaleza, usho uJehova, ngibabuyisele kulo muzi; bayakulwa nalo, balithathe, balishise ngomlilo; futhi ngiyoyenza imizi yakwaJuda ibe ihlane elingenamuntu ohlala kulo.
