Jeremiya 17
1Isono sikaJuda silotshwe ngosiba lwensimbi langesihloko sedayimani; kuqoshwe etafuleni lezinhliziyo zabo nasezimpondweni zama-altare enu;
2Lapho abantwana babo bekhumbula ama-altare abo nezixuku zabo ngasemithini eluhlaza emagqumeni aphakeme.
3Wena ntaba yami yasendle, ngiyakunikela impahla yakho nengcebo yakho yonke kube yimpango, nezindawo zakho eziphakemeyo ukuba zone kuzo zonke imikhawulo yakho.
4Nani-ke niyakuyeka efeni lenu engininike lona; futhi ngiyokwenza ukhonze izitha zakho ezweni ongalazi; ngokuba niphembe umlilo entukuthelweni yami ovutha kuze kube phakade.
5Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Uqalekisiwe umuntu othemba kumuntu, enze inyama ibe yingalo yakhe, onhliziyo yakhe ifulathele uJehova.
6Ngokuba uyakuba njengomhlengi ogwadule, angaboni lapho kufika okuhle; kodwa izahlala ezindaweni ezomileyo enkangala, elizweni likasawoti elingelamuntu.
7Ubusisiwe umuntu othemba kuJehova nothemba lakhe linguJehova.
8Ngokuba uyakuba njengomuthi otshalwe ngasemanzini, onabe izimpande zawo ngasemfuleni, angaboni lapho kufika ukushisa, kepha amaqabunga awo ayakuba luhlaza; futhi ayiyikuyeka ngonyaka wesomiso, futhi ayiyikuyeka ukuthela.
9Inhliziyo iyakhohlisa ngaphezu kwakho konke, nenhliziyo yonakele; ngubani ongakwazi?
10Mina, Jehova, ngihlola inhliziyo, ngivivinya izinso, ukuze nginike, kube yilowo nalowo njengezindlela zakhe, njengokwezithelo zezenzo zakhe.
11Njengentende ehlezi phezu kwamaqanda, ingawachanyuseli; kanjalo ozuza ingcebo kungengenxa yokulunga uyakuyishiya phakathi kwezinsuku zakhe, abe yisiwula ekugcineni.
12Isihlalo sobukhosi esiphakemeyo kwasekuqaleni siyindawo yendlu yethu engcwele.
13Jehova, themba lika-Israyeli, bonke abakushiyayo bayakuba namahloni, nabasuka kimi bayakulotshwa emhlabeni, ngokuba beshiyile uJehova, umthombo wamanzi aphilayo.
14Ngiphulukise, Jehova, ngiyakuphiliswa; ngisindise, ngiyakusindiswa, ngokuba wena uludumo lwami.
15Bheka, bathi kimi: Liphi izwi likaJehova na? makuze manje.
16Mina-ke, angijahanga ukuba ngumalusi ukuba ngikulandele; uyazi: okwadlula izindebe zami kwakuphambi kwakho.
17Ungabi yingebhe kimi; uyithemba lami ngosuku lobubi.
18Mabajabhe abangizingelayo, kepha mina mangingajabhi; mabeme bethukile, kepha mina mangingathuki; wehlisele phezu kwabo usuku olubi, ubabhubhise ngokuchitha kabili.
19Wathi kimi uJehova: “Hamba, ume esangweni labantwana babantu, angena ngalo amakhosi akwaJuda, aphuma ngalo, nasemasangweni onke aseJerusalema;
20uthi kubo: ‘Yizwani izwi likaJehova nina makhosi akwaJuda noJuda wonke nani nonke enakhileyo eJerusalema eningena ngalawa masango.
21Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Ziqapheleni nina, ningathwali mthwalo ngosuku lwesabatha, ningawungenisi ngamasango aseJerusalema;
22Ngosuku lwesabatha ningaphumi mthwalo ezindlini zenu, ningasebenzi msebenzi, kepha ningcwelise usuku lwesabatha, njengalokho ngabayala oyihlo.
23Kodwa kabalalelanga, kababekanga indlebe yabo, kodwa bayenza lukhuni intamo yabo ukuze bangezwa loba bemukele ukulaywa.
24“ ‘Uma ningilalela nokungilalela,’ usho uJehova, “ningangenisi mthwalo ngamasango alo muzi ngosuku lwesabatha, kodwa ningcwelise usuku lwesabatha, ningenzi msebenzi ngalo;
25Kuyakungena emasangweni alo muzi amakhosi nezikhulu ezihlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavide ezigibela izinqola namahhashi, zona nezikhulu zazo, abantu bakwaJuda nabakhileyo eJerusalema; futhi lomuzi uyohlala kuze kube phakade.
26Bayophuma emizini yakwaJuda nasezindaweni ezizungeze iJerusalema nasezweni lakwaBenjamini nasethafeni nasezintabeni naseningizimu, balethe iminikelo yokushiswa nemihlatshelo neminikelo yempuphu nempepho nemihlatshelo yokudumisa endlini kaJehova.
27Kepha uma ningangilaleli ukungcwelisa usuku lwesabatha, ningathwali mthwalo, ningene ngamasango aseJerusalema ngosuku lwesabatha; ngiyakuphemba umlilo emasangweni alo, uqede izindlu zamakhosi zaseJerusalema, ungacimi.
