UJehova ukhuluma noJeremiya ngesivumelwano sakhe
1Izwi elafika kuJeremiya livela kuJehova, lathi:
2Zwanini amazwi alesi sivumelwano, nikhulume kubantu bakwaJuda nakubakhileyo eJerusalema;
3uthi kubo: ‘Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli; Uqalekisiwe umuntu ongawalaleli amazwi alesi sivumelwano.
4Engayala ngakho oyihlo mhla ngibakhipha ezweni laseGibithe, esithandweni sensimbi, ngathi: Lalelani izwi lami, nenze njengokuniyala kwami; kanjalo niyakuba yisizwe sami, mina ngibe nguNkulunkulu wenu;
5ukuze ngigcwalise isifungo engasifunga koyihlo, ukubanika ilizwe elichichima ubisi lezinyosi, njengalamuhla. Ngasengiphendula ngathi: Makube njalo, Jehova;
6INkosi yasisithi kimi: Memeza wonke lamazwi emizini yakoJuda lezitaladeni zeJerusalema uthi: Zwanini amazwi alesisivumelwano, liwenze.
7Ngokuba ngabasola nokusola oyihlo mhla ngibakhipha ezweni laseGibithe kuze kube namuhla, ngivuka ekuseni ngibasola, ngathi: ‘Lalelani izwi lami.
8Kodwa kabalalelanga, kababekanga izindlebe zabo, kodwa bahamba, ngulowo lalowo ngobulukhuni benhliziyo yakhe embi; ngalokho ngiyakubehlisela onke amazwi alesi sivumelwano engabayala ukuba bawenze; kodwa abazange.
9UJehova wathi kimi: “Kwafunyanwa ugobe phakathi kwabantu bakwaJuda naphakathi kwabakhileyo eJerusalema.
10Babuyela ezonweni zabokhokho babo, abenqaba ukulalela amazwi ami; balandela abanye onkulunkulu ukuba babakhonze; indlu ka-Israyeli nendlu kaJuda basephulile isivumelwano sami engasenza nawoyise.
11Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Bheka, ngiyakwehlisela okubi phezu kwabo abangenakubaleka; futhi noma bebiza Kimi, ngeke ngibalalele.
12Imizi yakwaJuda nabakhileyo eJerusalema bayakuhamba, bakhale konkulunkulu ababashisela impepho, kepha abayikubasindisa nhlobo ngesikhathi sokucindezeleka kwabo.
13Ngoba onkulunkulu bakho, Juda, babenjengomumo wemizi yakho; futhi ngokwenani lezitaladi zaseJerusalema namisa ama-altare ehlazweni, ama-altare okushunqisa uBhali.
14Khona-ke ungabakhulekeli laba bantu, futhi ungabaphakamiseli ukukhala noma umkhuleko, ngoba ngeke ngibezwe ngesikhathi bekhala kimi ngosizi lwabo.
15Kube kuhle kimi ukwenzani endlini yami, lapho ehlazekile nabaningi, nenyama engcwele idlulile kuwe na? uma wenza okubi, uyajabula.
16UJehova waqamba igama lakho ngokuthi: Umnqumo oluhlaza, omuhle nesithelo esihle; ngomsindo wesiyaluyalu esikhulu waphemba umlilo phezu kwawo, kwaphulwa amagatsha awo.
17Ngokuba uJehova Sebawoti owakutshala ukhulumile okubi ngawe ngenxa yobubi bendlu yakwa-Israyeli nendlu yakwaJuda ababenza bona ukuba bangicunule ngokushisela uBali impepho.
18UJehova wangenza ngazisa, ngakwazi;
19Kodwa nganginjengewundlu eliyiswa ekuhlatshweni; futhi ngangingazi ukuthi babengicebele amacebo, bethi: “Masiwuchithe umuthi nezithelo zawo, siwunqume ezweni labaphilayo, ukuze igama lawo lingabe lisakhunjulwa.
20Kepha, Jehova Sebawoti, owahlulela ngokulunga, ohlola izinso nenhliziyo, mangibone impindiselo yakho kubo, ngokuba ngimazisile wena icala lami.
21Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova ngabantu base-Anathoti abafuna ukuphila kwakho, bathi: ‘Ungaprofethi egameni likaJehova, funa ufe ngesandla sethu.
22Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: “Bheka, ngiyakubahambela; izinsizwa ziyakufa ngenkemba; amadodana abo namadodakazi abo ayakufa ngendlala;
23Kakuyikuba khona insali kubo, ngokuba ngiyakwehlisela okubi phezu kwabantu base-Anathoti, umnyaka wokuhanjelwa kwabo.
