Jeremiya 21
Isimemezelo sesiphetho seJerusalema
1Izwi elafika kuJehova kuJeremiya lapho inkosi uSedekiya ithuma kuye uPhashuri indodana kaMalikhiya noZefaniya indodana kaMahaseya umpristi, ithi:
2Siceleleni uJehova; ngokuba uNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, uyalwa nathi; uma uJehova esenza kithi njengezimangaliso zakhe zonke, ukuze asuke kithi.
3UJeremiya wathi kubo: “Yilokhu eniyakukusho kuZedekiya:
4Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Bhekani, ngiyakubuyisela emuva izikhali zempi ezisesandleni senu, enilwa ngazo nenkosi yaseBabele namaKaledi anivimbezele ngaphandle kwemiduli; izobabuyisela emuva phakathi kwababuthene kulo muzi.
5Mina ngokwami ngiyolwa nani ngesandla eseluliweyo nangengalo enamandla, yebo, ngentukuthelo nangokufutheka nangentukuthelo enkulu.
6Futhi ngiyobashaya abakhileyo kulo muzi, abantu nezilwane; bayakufa ngesifo esikhulu.
7Emva kwalokho, usho uJehova, ngiyonikela uZedekiya, inkosi yakwaJuda, nezinceku zakhe, nabantu, nabaseleyo kulo muzi, esifeni, enkembeni, nasendlaleni, ngibanikele esandleni. Wenkosi uNebukadinesari wasindiswa. YeBhabhiloni nasesandleni sezitha zabo nasesandleni sabafuna ukuphila kwabo; futhi Uyobashaya ngosiko lwenkemba; akayikubahawukela, angabahawukeli, ahawukele.
8Kulaba bantu uzakuthi: ‘Usho kanje uJehova; Bhekani, ngiyanikhombisa indlela yokuphila nendlela yokufa.
9Ohlala kulo muzi uyakufa ngenkemba, nangendlala, nangesifo; kepha ophumayo, awe phezu kwamaKaledi anivimbezelayo, uyakuphila, ukuphila kwakhe kube yimpango yakhe.
10Ngokuba ngibhekise ubuso bami kulo muzi kube kubi, kungabi kuhle, usho uJehova; liyakunikelwa esandleni senkosi yaseBabele, futhi iyolishisa ngomlilo.
11Mayelana nendlu yenkosi yakwaJuda wothi: ‘Zwanini izwi likaJehova;
12Wena ndlu kaDavide, usho kanje uJehova; Ekuseni gcwalisa ukwahlulela futhi usindise ophangiwe esandleni somcindezeli, ukuze ulaka lwami lungaphumi njengomlilo futhi lushise okungenakucinywa muntu ngenxa yobubi bezenzo zakho.
13“Bheka, nginakho ngawe wena ohlala esigodini nasedwaleni lasethafeni,” usho uJehova; othi: Ngubani ozakusamela? Ngubani oyakungena ezindlini zethu na?
14Kepha ngiyakunihambela njengesithelo sezenzo zenu, usho uJehova; futhi ngiyobasa umlilo ehlathini lakhe, futhi uyoqothula konke okuzungezile.
