Jeremiya 7
1Izwi elafika kuJeremiya livela kuJehova, lathi:
2Yima esangweni lendlu kaJehova, umemeze khona leli zwi, uthi: ‘Yizwani izwi likaJehova nina nonke bakwaJuda abangena ngalawa masango ukukhuleka kuJehova.
3Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: ‘Lungisani izindlela zenu nezenzo zenu, nginihlalise kule ndawo.
4Ningethembi emazwini amanga athi: Ithempeli likaJehova, ithempeli likaJehova, ithempeli likaJehova, yilo.
5Ngokuba uma niguqula ngokuphelele izindlela zenu nezenzo zenu; uma nahlulela ngokuphelele phakathi komuntu nomakhelwane wakhe;
6Uma ningacindezeli umfokazi, nentandane, nomfelokazi, ningachithi igazi elingenacala kule ndawo, ningalandeli abanye onkulunkulu, kube kukubi;
7Ngiyakunihlalisa kule ndawo, ezweni engalinika oyihlo, kuze kube phakade naphakade.
8Bhekani, nithembela emazwini amanga angasizi lutho;
9Nizokweba, nibulale, niphinge, nifunge amanga, nishunqise umusi kuBali, nilandele abanye onkulunkulu eningabaziyo na?
10Nize nime phambi kwami kule ndlu ebizwa ngegama lami, nithi: ‘Sinikelwe ukwenza zonke lezi zinengiso na?’
11Le ndlu ebizwa ngegama lami isiphenduke umhume wabaphangi emehlweni enu na? Bheka, nami ngikubonile,” usho uJehova.
12Kodwa khathesi hambani liye endaweni yami eyayiseShilo, lapho engabeka khona ibizo lami kuqala, libone engakwenzayo kuyo ngenxa yobubi babantu bami uIsrayeli.
13Manje, ngenxa yokuba nenzile yonke le misebenzi, uJehova uyakhuluma, futhi ngakhuluma kini, ngavuka ekuseni ngakhuluma, kodwa anilalelanga; ngalibiza, kodwa aniphendulanga;
14Ngalokho ngiyakwenza kule ndlu ebizwa ngegama lami, eniyethembayo, nakuyo indawo engayinika nina nawoyihlo, njengalokho ngenza eShilo.
15Ngiyakunixosha phambi kwami, njengalokho ngaxosha bonke abafowenu, yonke inzalo yakwa-Efrayimi.
16Ngakho ungabakhulekeli lababantu, ungabaphakamiseli ukukhala loba umkhuleko, ungangincengi, ngoba kangiyikukuzwa.
17Awukuboni yini abakwenzayo emizini yakwaJuda nasezitaladini zaseJerusalema?
18Abantwana batheza izinkuni, oyise babasa umlilo, abesifazane baxova inhlama ukwenzela indlovukazi yezulu amaqebelengwane, bathululele abanye onkulunkulu iminikelo yokuphuzwa, ukuze bangicunule.
19Bayangicunula na? usho uJehova; abahlazisi ebusweni babo na?
20Ngalokho isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Bheka, intukuthelo yami nokufutheka kwami kuyakuthululelwa kule ndawo, phezu kwabantu, naphezu kwezilwane, naphezu kwemithi yasendle, naphezu kwezithelo zomhlaba; futhi uyovutha futhi ungacimi.
21Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Lethani iminikelo yenu yokushiswa ezihlalweni zenu, nidle inyama.
22Ngokuba angikhulumanga koyihlo, futhi angibayalanga ngosuku engabakhipha ngalo ezweni laseGibithe mayelana neminikelo yokushiswa nemihlatshelo.
23Kodwa ngabayala le nto ngathi: Lalelani izwi lami, futhi ngizoba nguNkulunkulu wenu, futhi niyoba ngabantu bami; nihambe ngezindlela zonke enginiyale ngazo, ukuze kube kuhle kini.
24Kodwa kabalalelanga, kababekanga izindlebe zabo, kodwa bahamba ngamacebo langemicabango yenhliziyo yabo embi, bahlehla, kabazange baqhubekele phambili.
25Kusukela osukwini oyihlo abaphuma ngalo ezweni laseGibithe kuze kube namuhla, ngithuma kini zonke izinceku zami abaprofethi, ngivuka ekuseni imihla ngemihla ngibathuma.
26Kodwa kabangilalelanga, kababekanga indlebe yabo, kodwa benza lukhuni intamo yabo; benze okubi kunoyise.
27Ngakho uyakuwakhuluma onke lawa mazwi kubo; kodwa kabayikukuzwa; futhi kumelwe ubabize; kodwa kabayikukuphendula.
28Kodwa uzakuthi kibo: Lesi yisizwe esingalilaleli ilizwi le Nkosi uNkulunkulu waso, njalo esingamukeli isijeziso; iqiniso lalahleka lanqanyulwa emilonyeni yabo.
29Nquma izinwele zakho, Jerusalema, uzilahle, uphakamise isililo phezulu; ngokuba uJehova usalile, wasilahla isizukulwane solaka lwayo.
30Ngokuba abantwana bakwaJuda benzile okubi emehlweni ami,” usho uJehova, “babekile izinengiso zabo endlini ebizwa ngegama lami ukuba bayingcolise.
31Bakha izindawo eziphakemeyo zaseThofeti elisesigodini sendodana kaHinomu ukuze bashise amadodana abo namadodakazi abo ngomlilo; engingabayalanga ngakho, nokungangenanga enhliziyweni yami.
32Ngakho-ke, bheka, izinsuku ziyeza, usho uJehova, lapho zingasayikuthiwa iThofeti, nesigodi sendodana kaHinomu, kepha isiGodi sokuBulala; ngoba bayakungcwatshwa eThofeti kuze kungabi khona indawo.
33Izidumbu zalaba bantu ziyakuba ngukudla kwezinyoni zezulu nokwezilwane zomhlaba; futhi akekho oyobadabula.
34Khona ngiyokwenza ukuba kuphele izwi lenjabulo nezwi lenjabulo, izwi lomyeni nezwi likamakoti emizini yakwaJuda nasezitaladini zaseJerusalema, ngoba izwe liyoba ihlane.
