Jeremiya 16
1Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:
2Ungazithatheli umfazi, futhi ungabi namadodana namadodakazi kule ndawo.
3Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova ngamadodana, nangamadodakazi azalelwa kule ndawo, nangonina abawazalayo, nangoyise abawazalayo kuleli zwe, uthi:
4Bazakufa kabuhlungu; abayikukhalelwa; futhi kabayikungcwatshwa; kodwa bayoba njengomquba emhlabeni, futhi bayoqedwa ngenkemba nangendlala; futhi izidumbu zabo ziyoba ukudla kwezinyoni zezulu nokwezilwane zasendle zomhlaba.
5Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Ningangeni endlini yokulila, ningayi ukuyobakhalela, ningabakhalele; ngokuba ngikususile ukuthula kwami kulaba bantu, usho uJehova, umusa nesihe.
6Abakhulu nabancane bayakufa kuleli zwe; abayikungcwatshwa, futhi abayikuzikhalela, abayikuzisika, bangazenze nqunu ngabo.
7Akayikudabula umuntu ekulileni kwakhe ukuba aduduze ngabafileyo; futhi akekho ongabanika indebe yenduduzo ukuba bayiphuze ngenxa kayise noma ngonina.
8Futhi ungangeni endlini yedili ukuba uhlale nabo ukuba udle, uphuze.
9Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Bhekani, ngiyakuthuma kule ndawo emehlweni enu nasezinsukwini zenu izwi lokujabula nezwi lokuthokoza, izwi lomyeni nezwi lomyeni umakoti ayeke.
10Uma utshela lababantu onke lawa mazwi, bayakuthi kuwe: ‘UJehova ukhulumeleni phezu kwethu bonke lobu bubi obukhulu na? noma buyini ububi bethu? Siyini isono sethu esenzileyo kuJehova uNkulunkulu wethu na?
11Uzakuthi kibo: Ngoba oyihlo bangitshiyile, itsho iNKOSI, balandela abanye onkulunkulu, babakhonza, babakhothamela, bangilahla, kabagcinanga umlayo wami;
12Nina nenze okubi kunoyihlo; ngoba bhekani, nihamba, kube yilowo nalowo ngobubi benhliziyo yakhe embi, ukuze bangangilaleli.
13Ngalokho ngiyakunilahla kuleli zwe, nginiyise ezweni eningalaziyo, nina nawoyihlo; lapho niyokhonza abanye onkulunkulu imini nobusuku; lapho engingayikukwenzela khona umusa.
14Ngakho bheka, izinsuku ziyeza, usho uJehova, lapho okungasayikuthiwa: Kuphila kukaJehova owakhuphula abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ezweni laseGibithe;
15Kodwa kuphila kukaJehova owabakhuphula abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ezweni lasenyakatho nakuwo wonke amazwe eyayibaxoshele kuwo; ngizababuyisela elizweni labo engalinika oyise.
16“Bheka, ngiyakuthuma abadobi abaningi,” usho uJehova, “bababambise; ngemva kwalokho ngiyoletha abazingeli abaningi, futhi bayobazingela kuzo zonke izintaba nakuwo wonke amagquma nasemigodini yamadwala.
17Ngokuba amehlo ami akuzo zonke izindlela zabo; azifihlekile ebusweni bami, nobubi bazo abufihlekile emehlweni ami.
18Ngiyakubuyisela kabili ububi babo nesono sabo kuqala; ngoba balingcolisile izwe lami, bagcwalise ifa lami ngezidumbu zezinengiso zabo nezinengiso zabo.
19Jehova, mandla ami, nenqaba yami, nesiphephelo sami ngosuku lwenhlupheko, abezizwe bayakuza kuwe bevela emikhawulweni yomhlaba, bathi: Obaba badla ifa lamanga, okuyize, nezinto ezingenakusiza.
20Umuntu angazenzela onkulunkulu, bengesibo onkulunkulu na?
21Ngakho-ke bheka, ngizabazisa ngalesi sikhathi, ngibazise isandla sami namandla ami; bazakwazi ukuthi ibizo lami linguJehova.
