UJOROMIYA 17 - IsiNdebele 2012 Translation

UJuda uyakhalinyelwa godu

1“Isono sakwaJuda sitlolwe ngesikhonkhwani sesimbi,

iye, sagobhodlhwa ngetlobo yedayimani,

emiqebethwini yeenhliziyo zabo

neempondweni zama-aldarabo.

2-3Bahlubayela ngama-aldarabo

nemifanekiso yabo-Atjhera

emagegana nemithi ehlaza

nemibundwini ephakamileko

neentabeni emmangweni

njengombana bahlubayela ngabantwababo.

Juda, umnothwakho namagugwakho woke

ngizakunikela ngawo njengepango,

ngebanga leendunduma zakho

ezisisono sakho kiyo yoke imikhawulwakho.

4Kumele uhlukane nelifa lakho

engakupha lona

begodu uzakusebenzela izitha zakho

enarheni ongayaziko

ngombana uvuse itukuthelwami

ezakuvutha mlibe.”

5Nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini:

“Akanikelelwe umuntu othembela ebantwini,

owenza inyama ibe mamandlakhe

nohliziywakhe ifulathela uSomnini.

6Uzakuba njengomtjhana ebhudwini,

angayiboni ipumelelo nayizako.

Uzakuhlala hlangana nomankwana erhalawumbeni,

iye, enarheni yetswayi

lapha kungahlali muntu khona.

7“Kodwana ubusisiwe umuntu othembela kuSomnini,

othemba lakhe likuye.

8Uzakufana nomuthi otjalwe eduze kwamanzi

onabisela imirabhawo magegana nomlambo.

Awesabi nakufika umtjhiso,

amakarawo ahlala ahlaza.

Awukhathazeki ngesikhathi sesomiso

begodu awubhalelwa kuthela iinthelo.

9“Ihliziyo imkhohlisi ngaphezu kwakho koke

begodu yonakele khulu.

Ngubani ongayilemuka na?

10“Mina Somnini ngihlolisisa ihliziyo

ngizizinye iziso,

kobana ngivuze umuntu ngokweendlela zakhe,

iye, ukuya ngokwemisebenzakhe.”

11Njengekwali eqoqosela amaqanda

engakawabekeli,

unjalo nomuntu ozuza umnotho ngendlela

engakafaneli.

Nasele amalangakhe ayile, uzamtjhiya umnotho lowo,

bese ekugcineni uzakubonakala bonyana usidlhadlha.

12Isihlalo sobukhosi sephazimulo

esaphakanyiswa kusukela ekuthomeni,

siyindawo ecwengileko kithi.

13Wena Somnini, themba laka-Israyeli,

boke abakudelako bazakurhubutjhwa.

Amabizo wabamnyefulako

azakutlolwa endaweni yabafileko

ngombana badele uSomnini,

omthombo wamanzi wokuphila.

14Yewungipholise Somnini, ngizakuphola;

ngisindise, ngizakusinda

ngombana wena uyindumiswami.

15Bahlalele ukuthi kimi:

“Liphi ilizwi lakaSomnini na?

Alizaliseke-ke kwanjesi!”

16Mina azange ngikuhlohloloze

bona uthumele ihlekelele

begodu azange ngifise ilanga lokubhujiswa.

Okwaphuma emlonyenami uyakwazi,

ngakutjho phambi kwakho.

17Ungabi kukwesabeka kimi,

wena usiphephelo sami ngelanga lehlekelele.

18Abazumana nami abahlaziseke

kodwana mina ngingabi sehlazweni;

bona ababe nevalo,

kodwana mina ungenze ngingesabi.

Behlisele ilanga lehlekelele,

ubarhayile ngokubuyelelweko.

Ukugcina iSabatha licwengile

19Nakhu okwatjhiwo nguSomnini kimi: “Khamba uyokujama esangweni iButho, lapha kungena bekuphume khona amakhosi wakwaJuda. Godu jama kiwo woke amanye amasango weJerusalema,

20bese uthi, ‘Lalelani ilizwi lakaSomnini nina makhosi wakwaJuda, nani noke bantu bakwaJuda kanye nani noke bahlali beJerusalema, iye, nina eningena ngamasango la.

21Nakhu okutjhiwo nguSomnini: Yelelani bona ningathwali umthwalo ngelanga leSabatha begodu ningangeni nawo emasangweni weJerusalema.

22Godu ningathwali imithwalo niphume nayo ngeenkumbeni zenu ngelanga leSabatha. Ningasebenzi, kodwana gcinani iSabatha licwengile njengombana ngayala aboyihlo.

23Aboyihlo azange balalele namkha bavule iindlebe zabo; iye, baqinisa iintamo zabo ukuze bangezwa bebamukele ifundiso.

24Kodwana uSomnini wathi: Nina naningilalela kuhle bese aningeni nemithwalo emasangweni wedorobheli ngelanga leSabatha, nigcine iSabatha licwengile ngokungenzi imisebenzi mhlokho,

25khona-ke amakhosi namakhosana ahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sakaDavida azakungena ngamasango wedorobheli. Azakungena akhwele iinkarana neenjomani, aphekelelwa madoda wakwaJuda nalawo ahlala eJerusalema begodu idorobheli lizakuhlalwa kuya kuyile.

26Abantu bazakuvela ngemadorobheni wakwaJuda neendaweni ezimagegana neJerusalema, emikhawulweni yakwaBhenjamini, emibundwini yeTjhefela, enarheni yeentaba nangesewula, balethe imihlabelo yokutjhiswa neyetjhebiswano, iminikelo yeenthoro neyetjhwalo ngokudumisa ekumbeni kaSomnini.

27Kodwana nakube aningilaleli ngokungagcini iSabatha licwengile, nithwale imithwalo naningena ngamasango weJerusalema ngelanga leSabatha, khona-ke ngizavuthisa umlilo ongasoze wacinywa emasangweni weJerusalema, uqothule imibhotjhongo yakhona.’ ”
