Jeremiya 4
1Uma uphenduka, Israyeli, usho uJehova, uphenduke kimi;
2Uzafunga uthi: Kuphila kukaJehova ngeqiniso, ngokulunga langokulunga; izizwe ziyakuzibusisa kuye, zizidumise Ngaye.
3Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova kubantu bakwaJuda naseJerusalema, uthi: “Zilibeleni insimu yenu, ningahlwanyeli emeveni.
4Zisokeleni kuJehova, nisuse ijwabu lezinhliziyo zenu, madoda akwaJuda nabakhileyo eJerusalema, ukuze ulaka lwami lungaphumi njengomlilo, luvuthe kungekho ongawucima, ngenxa yobubi bezenzo zenu.
5Kumemezeleni kwaJuda, nikumemezele eJerusalema; nithi: Vuthelani icilongo ezweni; bizani, nibuthane, nithi: Buthani, singene emizini evikelekile.
6Phakamisani isimiso eSiyoni; buyela emuva, ungahlali, ngokuba ngiyakuletha ububi obuvela enyakatho nencithakalo enkulu.
7Ingonyama yenyuka iphuma ehlathini layo, nomchithi wezizwe usendleleni; uphumile endaweni yakhe ukuze enze izwe lakho libe yihlane; nemizi yenu iyakuba yincithakalo, kungabikho ohlala khona.
8Bese bhinca indwangu yamasaka, ukulila nokukhala, ngokuba ulaka lukaJehova alusukanga kithi.
9Ngalolo suku, usho uJehova, inhliziyo yenkosi nenhliziyo yezikhulu kuyakubhubha; futhi abapristi bayomangala, futhi abaprofethi bayomangala.
10Ngase ngithi: “O, Nkosi Jehova! isibili ubakhohlisile kakhulu lababantu kanye leJerusalema ngokuthi: Lizakuba lokuthula; kuyilapho inkemba ifinyelela emphefumulweni.
11“Ngaleso sikhathi kuyakuthiwa kulaba bantu nakulo iJerusalema: “Umoya owomileyo ovela ezindaweni eziphakemeyo ehlane uhlasela indodakazi yabantu bami, ungavunguzi futhi ungawuhlanzi;
12Ngisho nomoya onamandla ovela kulezo zindawo uyofika phezu kwami; ngisho namanje ngiyakubahlulela.
13Bheka, uyenyuka njengamafu, nezinqola zakhe zinjengesivunguvungu; amahhashi akhe anejubane kunezinkozi. Maye kithi! ngoba sonakele.
14Jerusalema, geza inhliziyo yakho ebubini, ukuze usindiswe. Koze kube nini imicabango yakho eyize ihlala kini na?
15Ngoba ilizwi liyamemeza livela kwaDani, limemezela usizi livela entabeni yakoEfrayimi.
16Kabize izizwe; bheka, memezelani ngeJerusalema ukuthi abalindi bayeza bevela ezweni elikude, bazwakalise izwi labo ngemizi yakwaJuda.
17Njengabelusi bamelene nalo nxazonke; ngoba yangihlamukela,” kutsho uJehova.
18Indlela yakho nezenzo zakho kukulethele lezi zinto; kungububi bakho, ngoba kumunyu, ngoba kufinyelela enhliziyweni yakho.
19Amathumbu ami, amathumbu ami! Ngibuhlungu enhliziyweni yami; inhliziyo yami ixokozela phakathi kwami; Angikwazi ukuthula, ngokuba uzwile, mphefumulo wami, ukukhala kwecilongo, ukukhala kwempi.
20Kumenyezelwa incithakalo phezu kokubhujiswa; ngokuba izwe lonke selichithekile; kungazelelwe amatende ami abhidlika nezilenge zami ngokuphazima kweso.
21Koze kube nini ngibona ibhanela futhi ngizwa ukukhala kwecilongo?
22Ngokuba abantu bami bayiziwula, abangazi; bangabantwana ababuthakathaka, futhi abanakuqonda; bahlakaniphile ekwenzeni okubi, kepha ukwenza okuhle abakwazi.
23Ngabona umhlaba, bheka, wawungenalutho, ungenalutho; namazulu, futhi kwakungekho ukukhanya.
24Ngabona izintaba, bheka, zazamazama, namagquma onke anyakaza kahle.
25Ngabheka, bheka, kwakungekho muntu, nezinyoni zonke zezulu zabaleka.
26Ngabona, bheka, indawo ethelayo yayiyihlane, nayo yonke imizi yayo yayibhidliziwe phambi kobuso bukaJehova nangenxa yolaka lwakhe.
27Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Lonke izwe liyakuba yihlane; nokho angiyikuqeda.
28Ngenxa yalokhu umhlaba uyakukhala, nezulu phezulu liyoba mnyama, ngokuba ngikukhulumile, ngikuhlosile, angiyikuzisola, futhi angiyikubuya kukho.
29Umuzi wonke uyawubalekela umsindo wabamahhashi nabacibishelayo; bayakungena emahlathini, bagibele emadwaleni; yonke imizi iyakushiywa, kungahlali muntu kuyo.
30Njalo uba uphangiwe, uzakwenzani? Noma ugqoka okubomvu, noma uvunula ngezivunulo zegolide, noma uklebhula ubuso bakho ngopende, uyakuhlobisa ngeze; izithandwa zakho ziyakudelela, zifune ukuphila kwakho.
31Ngoba ngizwile ilizwi elinjengelowesifazana obelethayo, lobuhlungu obunjengokuzala kwakhe izibulo, ilizwi lendodakazi yeZiyoni, ikhala, yelula izandla zayo, ithi: Maye mina khathesi! ngoba umphefumulo wami ukhathele ngababulali.
