Jeremiya 31
1“Ngaleso sikhathi,” usho uJehova, “ngiyakuba nguNkulunkulu wemindeni yonke yakwa-Israyeli, bona babe ngabantu bami.
2Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Abantu abasala enkembeni bathola umusa ehlane; u-Israyeli, lapho ngiyomphumuza.
3UJehova wabonakala kimi kwasendulo, wathi: “Yebo, ngikuthandile ngothando oluphakade; ngalokho ngikudonsile ngomusa.
4Ngiyakubuye ngikwakhe, wakhiwe wena ntombi yakwa-Israyeli; uzophinde uhlotshiswe ngamatende akho futhi uphume ngengoma yenjabulo.
5Usazotshala izivini ezintabeni zaseSamariya; abatshali bazotshala futhi bazidle njengezinto ezijwayelekile.
6Ngokuba kuyakuba khona usuku lapho abalindi ezintabeni zakwa-Efrayimi beyakuthi ngalo: Sukumani sikhuphukele eSiyoni kuJehova uNkulunkulu wethu.
7Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Hlabelelani ngoJakobe, nithabe phakathi kwezinduna zezizwe; memezelani, nidumise, nithi: Jehova, sindisa abantu bakho, insali yakwa-Israyeli!
8Bheka, ngiyabakhipha ezweni lasenyakatho, ngibabuthe ezifundeni zomhlaba, kanye nabo abayizimpumputhe nezinyonga, nowesifazane okhulelweyo nokhulelweyo; isixuku esikhulu siyakubuyela khona.
9Bayofika bekhala, futhi ngiyobahola ngokunxusa; Ngiyakubahambisa emifuleni yamanzi endleleni eqondileyo, abangayikukhubeka kuyo; ngoba nginguyise ka-Israyeli, futhi u-Efrayimi uyizibulo lami.
10Zwanini izwi likaJehova nina zizwe, nilimemezele eziqhingini ezikude, nithi: ‘Ohlakazayo u-Israyeli uyakumbutha, amgcine njengomalusi umhlambi wakhe.
11Ngokuba uJehova wamhlenga uJakobe, wamkhulula esandleni sonamandla kunaye.
12Ngalokho bayakuza bahlabelele endaweni ephakemeyo yaseSiyoni, bagobhoze kanyekanye ebuhleni bukaJehova, phezu kwamabele, newayini, namafutha, nezimvu, nezinkomo; umphefumulo wabo uyakuba njengensimu eniselwe; futhi kabayikulila lakanye.
13Khona intombi iyakujabula ekusineni, izinsizwa namaxhegu kanyekanye, ngokuba ngiyakuphendula ukulila kwabo kube-yinjabulo, ngibaduduze, bajabule ngokudabuka kwabo.
14Ngiyakusuthisa umphefumulo wabapristi ngamanoni, abantu bami basuthe ngokuhle kwami,” usho uJehova.
15Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Izwi liyezwakala eRama, ukulila nokukhala okumunyu; URaheli owayekhalela abantwana bakhe wala ukududuzwa ngabantwana bakhe ngoba bengekho.
16Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Bambisa izwi lakho ekukhaleni namehlo akho ezinyembezini, ngokuba umsebenzi wakho uyakuba nomvuzo,” usho uJehova; futhi bayobuya ezweni lesitha.
17Futhi kukhona ithemba ekugcineni kwakho, kusho uJehova, ukuthi abantwana bakho bayobuyela endaweni yabo.
18Ngimzwile impela u-Efrayimi ezikhalela kanje; Wangilaya, ngajeziswa njengenkunzi engajwayele ijogwe; ngoba wena unguJehova uNkulunkulu wami.
19Ngempela emva kokuphenduka ngaphenduka; kwathi sengiyaliwe, ngashaya inqulu; ngaba namahloni, yebo, namahloni, ngokuba ngathwala ihlazo lobusha bami.
20U-Efrayimi uyindodana yami ethandekayo na? ungumntwana othandekayo? ngokuba selokhu ngakhuluma kabi ngaye, ngisacabanga ngaye; ngakho-ke izibilini zami ziyakhathazeka ngaye; Impela ngiyakuba nomusa kuye, kusho uJehova.
21Zimiseleni iziqondiso zendlela, zenzeleni inqwaba; beka inhliziyo yakho emgwaqeni omkhulu, indlela owahamba ngayo; buya, ntombi yakwa-Israyeli, buyela kule mizi yakho.
22Koze kube nini uzulazula, ndodakazi ehlubukayo? ngokuba uJehova udale okusha emhlabeni: owesifazane uyakuhaqa owesilisa.
23Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: “Nokho, leli zwi bayakulisebenzisa ezweni lakwaJuda nasemizini yalo, lapho ngibuyisa ukuthunjwa kwabo; UJehova makakubusise, wena khaya lokulunga nentaba yobungcwele.
24Kuyohlala kwaJuda nasemizini yayo yonke ndawonye, abalimi nabahamba nemihlambi.
25Ngokuba ngiyawusuthisa umphefumulo okhatheleyo, ngigcwalise yonke imiphefumulo edabukileyo.
26Kulokhu ngavuka futhi ngabona; ubuthongo bami baba mnandi kimi.
27Bhekani, izinsuku ziyeza, usho uJehova, lapho ngiyakuhlwanyela indlu ka-Israyeli nendlu kaJuda ngembewu yabantu nangembewu yezilwane.
28Kuyothi lapho ngibabhekile ukubadwengula, ngidilize, ngidilize, ngichithe, ngicindezele; kanjalo ngiyakubalinda ukuba bakhe, ngitshale,” usho uJehova.
29Ngalezonsuku kabasayikuthi: Oyise badla isivini esimuncu, amazinyo abantwana aba buthuntu.
30Kepha yilowo nalowo uyakufa ngenxa yobubi bakhe; odla izithelo zomvini ezimuncu, amazinyo akhe ayakuba buthuntu.
31Bhekani, izinsuku ziyeza,” usho uJehova, “lapho ngiyakwenza isivumelwano esisha nendlu ka-Israyeli; kanye nendlu kaJuda.
32Kungenjengesivumelwano engasenza laboyise mhla ngibabamba ngesandla ngibakhupha elizweni leGibhithe; ukuthi basephulile isivumelwano sami, nakuba ngangingumuntu kubo,” usho uJehova.
33Kodwa yilesi isivumelwano engizasenza lendlu kaIsrayeli; Emva kwalezo zinsuku, usho uJehova, ngiyakubanikeza umthetho wami phakathi kwabo, ngiwulobe enhliziyweni yabo; futhi bayoba nguNkulunkulu kubo, futhi bayoba abantu Kimi.
34Abasayikufundisa, kube yilowo nalowo umakhelwane wakhe, kube yilowo nalowo umfowabo, bathi: ‘Yazini uJehova, ngokuba bonke bayakungazi, kusukela komncane kuye komkhulu phakathi kwabo, usho uJehova; ngoba ngizabathethelela. Ububi, nesono sabo angisayikusikhumbula.
35Usho kanje uJehova, onika ilanga libe ngukukhanya emini, nezimiso zenyanga nezezinkanyezi zibe njengokukhanya ebusuku, odabula ulwandle ukuze kuhlokome amaza alo; NguJehova Sebawoti igama lakhe;
36Uma lezo zimiso zisuka phambi kwami, usho uJehova, khona-ke inzalo yakwa-Israyeli iyakuyeka ukuba yisizwe phambi kwami kuze kube phakade.
37Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Uma izulu lingalinganiswa, kulandele izisekelo zomhlaba phansi, ngiyakuyilahla yonke inzalo yakwa-Israyeli ngakho konke abakwenzileyo,” usho uJehova.
38Bheka, izinsuku ziyeza, usho uJehova, lapho umuzi uyakwakhelwa uJehova, kusukela embhoshongweni kaHananeli kuze kube seSangweni Legumbi.
39Umucu wokulinganisa uyakuphuma ubheke egqumeni laseGarebi, ujikele embuzini.
40Sonke isigodi sezidumbu nesomlotha, nawo wonke amasimu kuze kube semfuleni iKidroni, kuze kufike ekhoneni leSango Lamahhashi ngasempumalanga, kuyakuba ngcwele kuJehova; kayisoze yasitshulwa kumbe yadilizwa futhi.
