Jeremiya 23
1Maye kubelusi abachitha futhi bahlakaze izimvu zedlelo lami! kusho uJehova.
2Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli mayelana nabelusi abelusa abantu bami; Wahlakaza izimvu zami, wazixosha, awuzihambelanga; bhekani, ngiyakunihambela ngobubi bezenzo zenu,” usho uJehova.
3Ngiyakubutha insali yezimvu zami emazweni onke engizixoshele kuzo, ngizibuyisele ezibayeni zazo; bayakuzala, bande.
4Futhi ngiyobeka phezu kwazo abelusi abayozalusa; futhi ngeke besabe noma besabe, futhi ngeke baswele,” kusho uJehova.
5Bheka, izinsuku ziyeza,” usho uJehova, “lapho ngiyakuvusela uDavide iHlumela elilungileyo, kube yinkosi eyakubusa, ibe nempumelelo, yenze ukwahlulela nokulunga emhlabeni.
6Ezinsukwini zayo uJuda uyohlengwa no-Israyeli ahlale elondekile; nanti igama lakhe ayobizwa ngalo: INKOSI UBULUNGISA BETHU.
7Ngakho-ke, bheka, izinsuku ziyeza, usho uJehova, lapho abangasayikusho ukuthi: Kuphila kukaJehova owakhuphula abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ezweni laseGibithe;
8Kepha kuphila kukaJehova owakhuphula inzalo yendlu yakwa-Israyeli ezweni lasenyakatho nakuwo onke amazwe engabaxosha kuwo; futhi bayohlala ezweni lakubo.
9Inhliziyo yami yephukile phakathi kwami ngenxa yabaprofethi; onke amathambo ami ayathuthumela; Nginjengomuntu odakiwe futhi njengomuntu onqobile iwayini ngenxa kaJehova nangenxa yamazwi akhe angcwele.
10Ngokuba izwe ligcwele iziphingi; ngokuba izwe liyalila ngesifungo; izindawo ezimnandi zasogwadule zomile, nokuhamba kwabo kubi, namandla abo awalungile.
11Ngokuba umprofethi nompristi bangcolile; yebo, endlini yami ngifumene ububi babo, usho uJehova.
12Ngalokho indlela yabo kubo iyakuba njengezindlela ezibushelelezi ebumnyameni; bayakuxoshwa, bawele kuwo; ngoba ngiyobehlisela inhlekelele, unyaka wokuhanjelwa kwabo,” kusho uJehova.
13Ngabona ubuwula kubaprofethi baseSamariya; baprofetha ngoBali, badukisa abantu bami u-Israyeli.
14Ngabona futhi into embi kubaprofethi baseJerusalema: bayaphinga, bahamba ngamanga; baqinise izandla zababi, ukuze kungabuyi muntu ebubini bakhe; bonke banjengeSodoma kimi nabakhileyo kulo njengeGomora.
15Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti ngabaprofethi; Bheka, ngiyabadlisa umhlonyane, ngibaphuzise inyongo; ngokuba kubaprofethi baseJerusalema kwaphuma ububi ezweni lonke.
16Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: “Ningawalaleli amazwi abaprofethi abaprofetha kini; bakwenza ize; bakhuluma umbono ophuma ezinhliziyweni zabo, hhayi ophuma emlonyeni kaJehova.
17Base bethi kwabangidelelayo: ‘UJehova wathi: Niyakuba nokuthula; bathi kuwo wonke umuntu ohamba ngobulukhuni benhliziyo yakhe: “Aniyikwehlelwa bubi.”
18Ngoba ngubani owama emkhandlwini weNkosi, wabona, wezwa ilizwi lakhe? ngubani obonile izwi lakhe, walizwa na?
19Bheka, isivunguvungu sikaJehova ngokufutheka siyaphuma, isivunguvungu esinamandla; liyowela kanzima phezu kwekhanda lababi.
20Intukuthelo kaJehova ayiyikubuya, aze afeze amacebo enhliziyo yakhe; ekupheleni kwezinsuku uyakukulalela ngokugcwele.
21Angibathumanga abaprofethi, kodwa bagijima; angikhulumanga kubo, nokho baprofetha.
22Kodwa uma bebemile ekululekeni kwami futhi bavumele abantu bami bezwe amazwi ami, khona-ke ngabe baphendukile endleleni yabo embi nasebubini bezenzo zabo.
23NginguNkulunkulu oseduze, usho uJehova, angisiye uNkulunkulu wakude na?
24Ukhona yini ongamfihla ezindaweni zokucasha ukuze ngingamboni? kusho uJehova. Angigcwalise izulu nomhlaba na? kusho uJehova.
25Ngizwile abakutshoyo abaprofethi abaprofetha amanga ebizweni lami besithi: Ngiphuphile, ngiphuphile.
26Koze kube nini enhliziyweni yabaprofethi abaprofetha amanga na? yebo, bangabaprofethi benkohliso yenhliziyo yabo;
27abacabanga ukwenza abantu bami bakhohlwe igama lami ngamaphupho abo abawalandisayo kumakhelwane wakhe, njengalokho oyise bakhohlwa igama lami ngoBali.
28Umprofethi onephupho makalandise iphupho; futhi noma ubani onezwi lami, makakhulume izwi lami ngokwethembeka. Ayini amakhoba kakolweni? kusho uJehova.
29Izwi lami alinjengomlilo na? kusho uJehova; nanjengesando esiphula idwala?
30Ngakho bhekani, ngimelene nabaprofethi, usho uJehova, abeba amazwi ami, kube yilowo nalowo kumakhelwane wakhe.
31Bhekani, ngimelene nabaprofethi, usho uJehova, abasebenzisa ulimi lwabo, bathi: ‘Uyakhuluma.
32“Bheka, ngimelene nabaprofetha amaphupho amanga,” usho uJehova, “bawatshele, badukise abantu bami ngamanga abo nangenkohliso yabo; kodwa angibathumanga, futhi angibayalanga; ngalokho abayikubasiza laba bantu nangayiphi indlela,” usho uJehova.
33Nxa lababantu loba umprofethi loba umpristi ekubuza esithi: Uyini umthwalo we Nkosi? khona-ke uzakuthi kubo: Imuphi umthwalo? ngiyakunishiya,” usho uJehova.
34Kepha umprofethi, nompristi, nabantu, abathi: ‘Umthwalo weNkosi, ngiyakumhambela lowo muntu nendlu yakhe.
35Niyakusho-ke, kube yilowo nalowo kumakhelwane wakhe, nalowo kumfowabo, nithi: ‘UJehova waphendula wathini na? nokuthi: UJehova ukhulumeni na?
36Ningabe nisakhuluma ngomthwalo kaJehova, ngokuba izwi lawo wonke umuntu liyakuba ngumthwalo wakhe; ngoba niwahlanekezele amazwi kaNkulunkulu ophilayo, kaJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu wethu.
37Ngakho uzakuthi kumprofethi: UJehova wakuphendula wathini? nokuthi: UJehova ukhulumeni na?
38Kodwa njengoba nithi: Isiprofetho sikaJehova; ngakho-ke, usho kanje uJehova; Ngokuba nisho leli zwi lokuthi: Isiprofetho sikaJehova, ngathumela kini ukuthi: Aniyikusho ukuthi: Umthwalo kaJehova;
39Ngalokho bhekani, ngiyakunikhohlwa nokunikhohlwa, nginishiye nomuzi enganinika wona nawoyihlo, nginixoshe ebusweni bami.
40Ngiyakwehlisela phezu kwenu isihlamba esiphakade nehlazo eliphakade elingayikukhohlakala.
