Jeremiya 42
Isixwayiso sikaJeremiya kubantu ngeGibhithe
1Zase zisondela zonke izinduna zamabutho, oJohanani indodana kaKhareya, loIshaniya indodana kaHoshaya, labo bonke abantu, kusukela komncinyane kusiya komkhulu;
2Wathi kumprofethi uJeremiya: “Isicelo sethu makwamuke phambi kwakho, usikhulekele kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, nangenxa yonke le nsali; (ngokuba siyingcosana nje esisele kwabaningi, njengoba amehlo akho esibona;)
3Ukuze uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu asibonise indlela esingahamba ngayo nalokho esingakwenza.
4Wayesethi umprofethi uJeremiya kubo: “Nginizwile; bhekani, ngiyakukhuleka kuJehova uNkulunkulu wenu njengamazwi enu; nakho konke uJehova akuphendulayo, ngiyakunitshela khona; Ngeke ngikugodle lutho.
5Base bethi kuJeremiya: “UJehova uyakuba ngufakazi oqinisileyo nothembekileyo phakathi kwethu, uma singenzi njengakho konke uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ayakukuthuma khona kithina.
6Noma lihle noma libi, siyakulilalela izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu wethu esikuthuma kuye; ukuze kube kuhle kithi, uma sililalela izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu wethu.
7Kwathi emva kwezinsuku eziyishumi izwi likaJehova lafika kuJeremiya.
8Wayesebiza uJohanani indodana kaKhareya nazo zonke izinduna zempi ezazinaye, nabo bonke abantu, kusukela komncane kuze kufike komkhulu;
9Wathi kubo: “Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, eningithuma kuye ukuba ngilethe isicelo senu phambi kwakhe;
10Uma nisathanda ukuhlala kuleli zwe, ngiyakunakha, nginganidilizi, nginitshale, nginganisiphula; ngoba ngiyazisola ngobubi engibenzile kini.
11Ningayesabi inkosi yaseBabele eniyesabayo; Ningamesabi, usho uJehova, ngokuba nginani ukuba nginikhulule, nginisindise esandleni sakhe.
12Futhi ngiyonibonisa umusa, ukuze abe nesihe kini futhi anivumele nibuyele ezweni lakini.
13Kepha uma nithi: ‘Asiyikuhlala kuleli zwe, singalilaleli izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu,
14Yithi: Hatshi; kepha siyakuya ezweni laseGibithe, lapho singayikubona khona impi, sizwe ukukhala kwecilongo, singalambele isinkwa; futhi lapho sizohlala khona.
15Manje yizwani izwi likaJehova nina nsali yakwaJuda! Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Uma ubhekisa nokubhekisa ubuso bakho ukungena eGibithe, ugogobale khona;
16Khona-ke inkemba enayesabayo iyonifica lapho ezweni laseGibhithe, futhi indlala enayesabayo iyonilandela lapho eGibhithe; futhi lapho uyofela khona.
17Kuyakuba njalo kuwo wonke amadoda abhekisa ubuso bawo ukuya eGibithe ukuba agogobale khona; bayakufa ngenkemba, nangendlala, nangesifo; futhi akukho noyedwa kubo oyosala noma ophunyuka ebubini engiyobehlisela phezu kwabo.
18Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Njengalokho intukuthelo yami nokufutheka kwami kuthululiwe phezu kwabakhileyo eJerusalema; kanjalo ulaka lwami luyakuthululwa phezu kwenu, lapho ningena eGibithe; niyakuba yisihlamba, nesimangaliso, nesiqalekiso, nesihlamba; futhi ngeke usayibona le ndawo.
19UJehova wathi ngani, nsali yakwaJuda! Ningayi eGibithe; yazini impela ukuthi nginixwayisile namuhla.
20Ngokuba nakhathazeka ezinhliziyweni zenu lapho ningithuma kuJehova uNkulunkulu wenu ukuthi: ‘Sikhulekele kuJehova uNkulunkulu wethu; njengakho konke uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu ayakukukhuluma, sitshele khona, sikwenze.
21Manje sengikumemezele kini namuhla; kepha anililalelanga izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu nanoma yini angithume ngayo kini.
22Yazini ngokuqinisekile ukuthi niyokufa ngenkemba, ngendlala, nangesifo, endaweni enithanda ukuya kuyo ukuba nigogobale khona.
