Jeremiya 6
1Nina bantwana bakwaBenjamini, hlanganani nibalekele eJerusalema, nibethe icilongo eThekhowa, nimise isibonakaliso somlilo eBeti Hakeremi, ngokuba ububi buvela enyakatho nokubhubhisa okukhulu.
2Ngafanisa indodakazi yaseSiyoni nowesifazane omuhle nonomusa.
3Abelusi nemihlambi yabo bayakuza kuyo; kumelwe bagxumeke amatende abo nxazonke zakhe; kufanele bondle yilowo nalowo endaweni yakhe.
4Zilungiseleni impi; vuka sikhuphuke ntambama. Maye kithi! ngoba usuku luyedlula, ngoba amathunzi okuhlwa ayelulekile.
5Vukani, singene ebusuku, sichithe izindlu zalo zamakhosi.
6Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: “Gawulani imithi, nibuthele iJerusalema intaba; lonke liyincindezelo phakathi kwalo.
7Njengomthombo uthulula amanzi awo, kanjalo uyathulula ububi bawo; ubudlova nempango kuzwakala kulo; phambi kwami kukhona usizi namanxeba njalo.
8Mawufundiswe, Jerusalema, ukuze umphefumulo wami ungasuki kuwe; ukuze ngingakwenzi incithakalo, izwe elingahlalwa muntu.
9Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: ‘Bayakuyisusa nokususa insali yakwa-Israyeli njengomvini; buyisela isandla sakho emuva njengomvuni wamagilebhisi ezitsheni.
10Ngizokhuluma nobani ngibaxwayise ukuze bezwe? bheka, izindlebe zabo azisokile, futhi abezwa; bheka, izwi likaJehova liyihlazo kubo; kabathokozi ngakho.
11Ngalokho ngigcwele ukufutheka kukaJehova; ngikhathele ukuzibamba; ngiyakuthululela phezu kwabantwana bangaphandle naphezu kwenhlangano yezinsizwa kanyekanye;
12Futhi izindlu zabo ziyodluliselwa kwabanye, kanye namasimu abo nabafazi kanyekanye; ngokuba ngiyakwelulela isandla sami kwabakhileyo ezweni,” usho uJehova.
13Ngoba kusukela komncinyane kuya komkhulu wabo wonke uzinikele ekuhambweni; kusukela kumprofethi kuye kumpristi bonke benza amanga.
14Futhi bapholisa kancane isilonda sendodakazi yabantu bami ngokuthi: Ukuthula, ukuthula! lapho kungekho ukuthula.
15Baba namahloni lapho benza izinengiso na? yebo, ababanga namahloni nakancane futhi bengenakuba namahloni; ngakho-ke bayakuwa phakathi kwalabo abawayo; ngesikhathi engibahambela ngaso, bayakuwa, usho uJehova.
16Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Yimani ezindleleni, nibuke, nibuze ngezindlela zakudala, iphi indlela enhle, nihambe ngayo, niyakufumana ukuphumula kwemiphefumulo yenu. Kodwa bathi: Asiyikuhamba ngayo.
17Ngabeka abalindi phezu kwenu, ngathi: Lalelani ukukhala kwecilongo. Kodwa bathi: Ngeke silalele.
18Ngakho-ke, yizwani, O zizwe, futhi wazi, O bandla, ukuthi yini phakathi kwabo.
19Zwana, mhlaba, bheka, ngehlisela okubi phezu kwalaba bantu, yebo, isithelo semicabango yabo, ngokuba abawalalelanga amazwi ami nomthetho wami, kepha bawulahla.
20Kungani kufike kimi impepho evela eSheba, nomhlanga omnandi ovela ezweni elikude? iminikelo yenu yokushiswa ayamukeleki, neminikelo yenu yokushiswa ayimnandi Kimi.
21Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Bheka, ngibekela laba bantu izithiyo, oyise namadodana bawe phezu kwazo kanyekanye; umakhelwane nomngane wakhe bazobhubha.
22Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Bheka, kuyakuvela abantu ezweni lasenyakatho, kuvele isizwe esikhulu emikhawulweni yomhlaba.
23Bayakuthatha umnsalo nomkhonto; banonya futhi abanasihe; izwi labo liduma njengolwandle; bagibele amahhashi, behlomele njengamadoda okulwa nawe, ndodakazi yaseSiyoni.
24Sizwile umbiko ngakho: izandla zethu zibuthakathaka; sibanjwe usizi nobuhlungu njengobelethayo.
25Ningangeni ensimini, ningahambi endleleni; ngokuba inkemba yesitha nokwesaba kuzungezile.
26O ndodakazi yabantu bami, bhinca izingubo zokulila, uzigoqe ngomlotha; ulilele njengendodana eyodwa, isililo esimunyu, ngokuba ngokuzumayo umchithi uyakusehlela.
27Ngikwenze umbhoshongo nenqaba phakathi kwabantu bami, ukuze wazi indlela yabo, ubavivinye.
28Bonke bangabahlengi abanonya, abahamba ngokuhlambalaza; bayithusi nensimbi; bonke bakhohlakele.
29Isifutho siyasha, umthofu udliwa ngumlilo; umsunguli uncibilika ngeze, ngokuba ababi abasishulwa.
30Abantu bazababiza ngokuthi yisiliva elahlwayo, ngoba uJehova ubalahlile.
