Jeremiya 8
1Ngaleso sikhathi, usho uJehova, bayakukhipha emathuneni abo amathambo amakhosi akwaJuda, namathambo ezikhulu zakhe, namathambo abapristi, namathambo abaprofethi, namathambo abakhileyo eJerusalema;
2Bayowendlala phambi kwelanga nenyanga naphambi kwebandla lonke lasezulwini ababelithanda nababelikhonza, ababelilandela, ababelifuna, bekhuleka; abayikubuthwa, bangangcwatshwa; bazakuba semhlabeni ukuze babe ngumquba.
3Futhi ukufa kuyakukhethwa esikhundleni sokuphila kuyo yonke insali yalabo abasele kulesi sizukulwane esibi, abasele ezindaweni zonke lapho engibaxoshele khona,” usho uJehova Sebawoti.
4Futhi kumelwe uthi kubo: ‘Usho kanje uJehova; Ingabe bayowa futhi bangavuki? uzofulathela angabuyi na?
5Kungani laba bantu baseJerusalema behlehliswa ukuhlubuka kwaphakade? babambelele enkohliso, bayala ukubuya.
6Ngalalela ngezwa, kodwa abazange bakhulume kahle; akakho owaphenduka ebubini bakhe wathi: Ngenzeni na? yilowo nalowo waphendukela endleleni yakhe, njengoba ihhashi lingena emncintiswaneni.
7Yebo, unogolantethe ezulwini uyazazi izikhathi zakhe ezimisiwe; nehobhe nenkonjane kuyasigcina isikhathi sokufika kwazo; kepha abantu bami abawazi ukwahlulela kukaJehova.
8Nisho kanjani ukuthi: ‘Sihlakaniphile, nomthetho kaJehova unathi? Bheka, wakwenza ize; usiba lwababhali luyize.
9Abahlakaniphileyo bayajabha, bayesaba, bavalelwe; bheka, balilahlile izwi likaJehova; kukhona ukuhlakanipha kuni na?
10Ngakho abafazi babo ngizabanika abanye, lamasimu abo kwabawadla ilifa, ngoba wonke kusukela komncinyane kusiya komkhulu uzinikele ekuhahabeni, kusukela kumprofethi kusiya kumpristi, wonke umuntu wenza amanga.
11Ngoba bapholisa kancane ukulimala kwendodakazi yabantu bami ngokuthi: Ukuthula, ukuthula! lapho kungekho ukuthula.
12Baba namahloni ngokwenza izinengiso na? yebo, ababanga namahloni nakancane futhi bengenakuba namahloni; ngakho-ke bayakuwa phakathi kwalabo abawayo; ngesikhathi sokuhanjelwa kwabo bayakuwa, usho uJehova.
13Ngiyakubaqeda impela, usho uJehova; kungabikho zithelo zomvini emvinini, namakhiwane emkhiwaneni, amaqabunga abune; futhi izinto engibanike zona ziyodlula kubo.
14Sihlalelani? buthanani, singene emizini ebiyelweyo, sithule khona, ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu usithulisile, wasinika inyongo ukuba sinathe, ngokuba sonile kuJehova.
15Besilindele ukuthula, kodwa akufikanga okuhle; futhi okwesikhathi sempilo, futhi bheka, kukhona usizi!
16Ukukhala kwamahhashi akhe kwezwakala kwaDani; ngoba bafika balidla ilizwe lakho konke okwakukulo; umuzi nabakhileyo kuwo.
17Ngokuba bhekani, ngiyakuthuma phakathi kwenu izinyoka, imilomo engenakuloywa, zinilume, usho uJehova.
18Uma ngifuna ukuziduduza ngosizi, inhliziyo yami iyadangala phakathi kwami.
19Bhekani izwi lokukhala kwendodakazi yabantu bami phezu kwabakhileyo ezweni elikude, lithi: “Akakho uJehova eSiyoni na? Inkosi yayo ayikho kuye na? Bangiklolodelani ngezithombe zabo ezibaziweyo nangezithombe eziyize ezingaziwa na?
20Ukuvuna kuphelile, ihlobo liphelile, thina asikasindiswa.
21Ngokuba ngidabukile ngokuhlushwa kwendodakazi yabantu bami; Ngimnyama; ukumangala kungibambe.
22Alikho ibhalsamu kwaGileyadi na? akekho udokotela lapho? Pho kungani impilo yendodakazi yabantu bami ingabuyiselwa?
