Jeremiya 14
UJeremiya uthandazela u-Israyeli kuze kube yintsha
1Izwi likaJehova elafika kuJeremiya ngokuswelakala.
2UJuda uyalila, amasango akhe adanile; zimnyama phansi; ukukhala kweJerusalema kwenyuka.
3Abakhulu babo bathuma abancane babo emanzini; bafika emigodini, abafumananga manzi; babuya nezimbiza zabo zingenalutho; baba namahloni, bajabha, bamboza amakhanda abo.
4Ngenxa yokuthi umhlabathi uphukile, ngoba kwakungekho mvula emhlabeni, abalimi banamahloni, bamboza amakhanda abo.
5Yebo, nembabala yazala endle, yalishiya, ngokuba kwakungekho tshani.
6Izimbongolo zasendle zema ezindaweni eziphakemeyo, zathulisa umoya njengamakhanka; amehlo azo afiphele, ngokuba kwakungekho tshani.
7O Jehova, noma sifakaza ukungalungi ngathi, kwenze ngenxa yegama lakho; ngokuba izizono zethu ziningi; sonile kuwe.
8O themba lika-Israyeli, msindisi wakhe ngesikhathi sokuhlupheka, kungani uyakuba njengomfokazi ezweni nanjengomhambi ophambukela ukulala ubusuku bonke na?
9Kungani ungaba njengomuntu omangele, njengeqhawe elingakwazi ukusindisa? kepha wena Jehova uphakathi kwethu, negama lakho libizwé phezu kwethu; ungasishiyi.
10Usho kanje uJehova kulaba bantu, uthi: “Bathanda ukuduka, abazinqandanga izinyawo zabo; ngalokho uJehova akathokozi ngabo; Manje uzokhumbula ububi babo futhi ahambele izono zabo.
11UJehova wasesithi kimi: Ungabakhulekeli lababantu kube kuhle kubo.
12Uma bezila ukudla, angiyikuzwa ukukhala kwabo; futhi uma beletha umnikelo wokushiswa nomnikelo womlilo, angiyikujabulisa kubo; kodwa ngiyakubaqeda ngenkemba, nangendlala, nangesifo.
13Ngase ngithi: “Awu, Nkosi Jehova! bheka, abaprofethi bathi kubo: Aniyikubona inkemba, futhi aniyikuba nendlala; kodwa ngiyakuninika ukuthula okuqinisekileyo kule ndawo.
14Wayesethi uJehova kimi: “Abaprofethi baprofetha amanga egameni lami; angibathumanga, futhi angibayalanga, angikhulumanga kubo; ezinhliziyweni zabo.
15Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova ngabaprofethi abaprofetha egameni lami, ngingabathumanga, bathi: ‘Akuyikubakho inkemba nendlala kuleli zwe; Labo baprofethi bayoqedwa ngenkemba nangendlala.
16Futhi abantu abaprofetha ngabo bayolahlwa ezitaladini zaseJerusalema ngenxa yendlala nenkemba; futhi abayikubangcwaba, bona, omkabo, namadodana abo, namadodakazi abo; ngoba ngizathululela ububi babo phezu kwabo.
17Ngakho wokhuluma leli zwi kubo; Amehlo ami mawageleze izinyembezi imini nobusuku, angayeki, ngokuba intombi, indodakazi yabantu bami, yephukile ngezinyembezi ezinkulu, ngokushaywa okunzima kakhulu.
18Lapho ngiphuma ngiya ensimini, bheka labo ababulewe ngenkemba! futhi lapho ngingena emzini, bheka labo abaphethwe yindlala! yebo, umprofethi kanye nompristi bazulazula ezweni abangalazi.
19Umlahlile ngokuphelele uJuda? umphefumulo wakho wawuzonda iSiyoni na? usishayeleni, singekho ukuphulukiswa na? besilindele ukuthula, kepha akukho okuhle; nesikhathi sokuphulukiswa, futhi bheka, usizi!
20Siyabuvuma, Jehova, ububi bethu nobubi bawobaba, ngokuba sonile kuwe.
21Ungasinyanyi ngenxa yegama lakho, ungasijabhisi isihlalo sobukhosi senkazimulo yakho; khumbula, ungaphuli isivumelwano sakho nathi.
22Ukhona yini phakathi kwezithixo eziyize zabezizwe onganisa imvula na? noma izulu linganisa imvula na? Akuwena, Jehova Nkulunkulu wethu? ngalokho siyakulindela wena, ngokuba nguwena owenza zonke lezi zinto.
