Jeremiya 9
1O, ikhanda lami ngabe amanzi, namehlo ami abe ngumthombo wezinyembezi, ukuba ngikhale imini nobusuku ngenxa yababuleweyo bendodakazi yabantu bakithi!
2O, ukube nginendawo yokuhlala yezihambi ehlane; ukuze ngishiye abantu bami futhi ngihambe kubo! ngoba bonke bayiziphingi, inhlangano yabangathembeki.
3Futhi bagoba ulimi lwabo njengomnsalo ukuze baqambe amanga, kodwa kabanasibindi ngeqiniso emhlabeni; ngoba basuka kokubi baye kokubi, njalo kabangazi, kutsho i Nkosi.
4Qaphelani, kube yilowo nalowo komakhelwane bakhe, ningethembi kumfowabo, ngokuba yilowo nalowo abafowabo bayakucindezela nokuqothula, nabo bonke umakhelwane bahambe behleba.
5Futhi bayakukhohlisa, kube yilowo nalowo umakhelwane wakhe, bangakhulumi iqiniso;
6Indawo yakho yokuhlala iphakathi kwenkohliso; ngenkohliso bayala ukungazi, usho uJehova.
7Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: “Bheka, ngiyakubancibilikisa, ngibavivinye; ngoba ngiyakwenzani ngendodakazi yabantu bami?
8Ulimi lwabo lunjengomcibisholo obulalayo; likhuluma inkohliso: umuntu ukhuluma ukuthula kumakhelwane wakhe ngomlomo wakhe, kodwa enhliziyweni ubeka umlindo wakhe.
9Kangiyikubahambela yini ngenxa yalezi zinto? usho uJehova, uthi: “Umphefumulo wami awuyikuziphindiselela esizweni esinjengalesi na?
10Phezu kwezintaba ngiyophakamisa ukukhala nokulila, nesililo phezu kwezindawo zokuhlala zasogwadule, ngoba zishisiwe, ukuze kungabikho muntu odlula kuzo; futhi abantu abakwazi ukuzwa izwi lezinkomo; kwabaleka izinyoni zezulu nezilwane; sebehambile.
11Ngiyakwenza iJerusalema libe yizinqwaba, umhume wezimpungushe; futhi ngiyoyenza imizi yakwaJuda ibe ihlane elingenamuntu.
12Ngubani umuntu ohlakaniphileyo ongakuqonda lokhu na? futhi ngubani lo okhulunywe kuye umlomo kaJehova ukuba akumemezele lokhu, ngoba izwe lichithiwe futhi lishiswe njengehlane elingadluli muntu na?
13Futhi uJehova uthi: “Ngenxa yokuthi bawushiyile umthetho wami engangiwubeka phambi kwabo, futhi abazange balilalele izwi lami futhi abahambanga kulo;
14Kodwa bahamba ngobunkana bezinhliziyo zabo nangoBhali ababafundisa ngabo oyise.
15Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Bheka, ngiyakubadlisa laba bantu, ukuba badle nomhlonyane, ngibanike inyongo ukuba baphuze.
16Ngiyakubahlakazela ezizweni bona noyise ababengazazi; ngiyakuthuma inkemba emva kwawo, ngize ngiwaqede.
17Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: “Bhekani, nibize abesifazane abalilayo ukuba beze; nithumele abesifazane abahlakaniphileyo ukuba beze.
18Mabasheshe basikhalele, ukuze amehlo ethu ehle izinyembezi, nezinkophe zethu zigeleze amanzi.
19Ngoba kuzwakele ilizwi lokulila livela eZiyoni lisithi: Yeka ukuchithwa kwethu! sinamahloni kakhulu, ngokuba silishiyile izwe, ngokuba izindlu zethu zisixoshile.
20Ngakho yizwani izwi likaJehova nina besifazane, nilalele izwi lomlomo wakhe, nifundise amadodakazi enu isililo, kube yilowo nalowo komakhelwane bakhe ingoma yokulila.
21Ngoba ukufa kukhuphuke emafasiteleni ethu futhi kwangena ezindlini zethu zobukhosi ukuze kunqume abantwana ngaphandle nezinsizwa ezitaladini.
22Wothi: ‘Isho kanje iNkosi, ithi: Ngisho nezidumbu zabantu ziyakuwa njengomquba endle, nanjengesandla emva komvuni, kungabikho ozibuthayo.
23Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Ohlakaniphileyo makangazibongi ngokuhlakanipha kwakhe, nonamandla makangazigabisi ngamandla akhe, nocebileyo makangazibongi ngenotho yakhe.
24Kepha ozibongayo makazibonge ngakho, ukuze angiqonde, azi Mina, ukuthi nginguJehova owenza umusa, nokwahlulela, nokulunga emhlabeni; ngokuba lokhu ngiyathokoza,” usho uJehova.
25Bhekani, izinsuku ziyeza,” usho uJehova, “lapho ngiyakuhambela bonke abasokile nabangasokile;
26iGibithe, noJuda, no-Edomi, nabantwana bakwa-Amoni, nabakwaMowabi, nabo bonke abasemagumbini ahlala ehlane; ngoba zonke lezi zizwe azisokile, futhi yonke indlu ka-Israyeli isokile enhliziyweni.
