Jeremiya 5
1Gijimani ezitaladini zaseJerusalema, nibheke, nazi, nifunisise ububanzi bayo, uma ningathola umuntu owenza ukwahlulela, ofuna iqiniso; futhi ngizokuthethelela.
2Noma bengathi: Kuphila kukaJehova! impela bafunga amanga.
3Jehova, amehlo akho awagxilile eqinisweni na? Wabashaya, kepha abadabukanga; Wabaqeda, kepha bala ukujeziswa; benza ubuso babo baba lukhuni kunedwala; bala ukubuya.
4Ngakho ngathi: Impela bampofu; bayiziwula, ngokuba abayazi indlela kaJehova nomthetho kaNkulunkulu wabo.
5Ngiyakuziyisa kwabakhulu, ngikhulume nabo; ngokuba babeyazi indlela kaJehova nomthetho kaNkulunkulu wabo; kodwa balaphula ngokupheleleyo ijoka futhi bagqabula izibopho.
6Ngakho ingonyama yasehlathini iyababulala, impisi yakusihlwa iyakubaphanga; ingwe iyakulinda imizi yabo, bonke abaphuma khona badwengulwe, ngokuba iziphambeko zabo nezinengiso zabo ziningi iyanda.
7Ngizokuthethelela kanjani kulokhu? abantwana bakho bangishiyile, bafunga abangesibo onkulunkulu;
8Babenjengamahhashi akhuluphalisiweyo ekuseni; kwaba yilowo nalowo waxosha umkamakhelwane wakhe.
9Kangiyikujezisa ngenxa yalezi zinto? usho uJehova, kepha umphefumulo wami awuyikuziphindiselela esizweni esinjengalesi na?
10Khuphukelani ezindongeni zalo nichithe; kodwa akupheli; susa izinhlangothi zalo; ngoba abasibo abakaJehova.
11Ngokuba indlu ka-Israyeli nendlu kaJuda bangikhohlisile kakhulu,” usho uJehova.
12Baphika iNkosi, bathi: “Akusiyo; futhi akukho okubi okuyosehlela; futhi ngeke sibone inkemba noma indlala.
13Abaprofethi bayakuba ngumoya, nezwi alikho kubo; kuyakwenziwa kanjalo kubo.
14Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu Sebawoti, uthi: “Ngokuba nikhuluma leli zwi, bhekani, ngiyakwenza amazwi ami abe umlilo emlonyeni wakho, nalaba bantu babe yizinkuni, ubaqede.
15Bhekani, ngiyakwehlisela phezu kwenu isizwe esivela kude nina ndlu ka-Israyeli,” usho uJehova; yisizwe esilamandla, yisizwe sasendulo, yisizwe ulimi lwaso ongalwaziyo njalo ongazwisisiyo ukuthi luthini.
16Umgodla wabo unjengethuna elivulekile, bonke bangamadoda anamandla.
17Ziyakudla isivuno sakho nesinkwa sakho, amadodana akho namadodakazi akho azokudla; ziyakudla izimvu zakho nezinkomo zakho; bayakudla izivini zenu nemikhiwane yenu; bayakuyenza ibe mpofu imizi yakho ebiyelweyo abathembele kuyo ngenkemba.
18Kodwa ngalezonsuku, kutsho uJehova, kangiyikuqeda ngani.
19Uma nithi: ‘UJehova uNkulunkulu wethu wenzelani kithi zonke lezi zinto na? uyakuthi kubo: Njengalokho ningishiyile, nakhonza onkulunkulu bezizweni ezweni lakini, niyakukhonza abezizwe ezweni elingelona elenu.
20Kumemezeleni endlini kaJakobe, nikwenze kwaziwe kwaJuda, nithi:
21Yizwani lokhu manje nina bantu abayiziwula eningenakuqonda; abanamehlo kodwa ababoni; abanezindlebe, bangezwa;
22Aningesabi na? usho uJehova, uthi: “Aniyikuthuthumela phambi kwami, mina engabeka isihlabathi emkhawulweni wolwandle ngomyalo waphakade ukuba lungedlule kuwo; uma zibhonga, azinakudlula na?
23Kodwa laba bantu banenhliziyo ehlubukayo nehlubukayo; bavuke bahambe.
24Futhi abasho enhliziyweni yabo ukuthi: “Masesabe uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu onisa imvula, eyokuqala neyokugcina ngesikhathi sayo; Usigcinela amasonto amisiwe okuvuna.
25Ububi benu bubuyisile lezi zinto, nezono zenu zinigodlile okuhle.
26Ngokuba phakathi kwabantu bami kufunyanwa ababi; bacupha ugibe, babambe abantu.
27Njengendlwana yezinyoni igcwele izinyoni, kanjalo izindlu zabo zigcwele inkohliso; ngakho-ke baba bakhulu futhi baceba.
28Bakhuluphele, bayakhazimula, yebo, badlula imisebenzi yababi; futhi ilungelo labampofu abalahluleli.
29Angiyikujezisa ngenxa yalezi zinto na? usho uJehova, uthi: “Umphefumulo wami awuyikuziphindiselela esizweni esinjengalesi na?
30Isimangaliso nesinengiso senziwe ezweni;
31Abaprofethi baprofetha amanga, nabapristi babusa ngezandla zabo; futhi abantu bami bangathanda kanjalo; futhi uyokwenzani ekupheleni kwakho?
