Jer 22 - Ndebele Bible (iBhayibhili Elingcwele) 1978

1INkosi ithi: Hamba uye endlini yenkosi yakoJuda, ukhulume khona lelilizwi,

2uthi: Zwana ilizwi leNkosi, wena nkosi yakoJuda, ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavida, lezinceku zakho labantu bakho abangena ngalamasango.

3INkosi ithi: Yenzani okuqotho lokulungileyo, likhulule esandleni somcindezeli lowo ophangiweyo, lingenzi okubi kowezizwe, lakuzo izintandane, lakumfelwakazi, lingachithi igazi elingelacala kulindawo.

4Ngoba uba lililalela lelilizwi isibili, kuzangena ngamasango alindlu amakhosi ahlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavida, ekhwele izinqola, egade amabhiza, wona lezinceku zawo kanye labantu bawo.

5Kodwa uba lingawalaleli lamazwi, ngiyazifunga mina uqobo, kutsho iNkosi, ukuba lindlu izakuba lunxiwa.

6Ngoba iNkosi ithi mayelana lendlu yenkosi yakoJuda:

Wena ufana leGileyadi kimi lengqonga yaseLebanoni,

kodwa impela ngizakukwenza ube njengenkangala,

ube njengomuzi ongahlalwa muntu.

7Ngizakukulethela abachithi, bonke bephethe amahloka;

bazagamula izihlahla zenu zomkusu ezinhle, baziphosele emlilweni.

8Abezizwe abanengi bazadlula kulumuzi, babuzane bathi: INkosi yenzeleni okunje kulumuzi omkhulu na?

9Impendulo izakuthi: Kungoba basidela isivumelwano seNkosi, uNkulunkulu wabo, bakhonza abanye onkulunkulu, babasebenzela.

10Lingamkhaleli uJosiya ofileyo, lingamlileli,

kodwa khalelani kakhulu uShaluma ohambileyo,

ngoba kasayikubuya alibone futhi ilizwe lakibo.

11Ngoba iNkosi ithi mayelana loShaluma indodana kaJosiya, inkosi yakoJuda, owabusa esikhundleni sikaJosiya uyise, wasuka kulindawo: Yena kasayikuphinda abuye lapha futhi,

19Uzangcwatshwa njengobabhemi; uzahudulwa, alahlwe ngaphandle kwamasango eJerusalema.

20Khwela eLebanoni, umemeze, wena Jerusalema,

uphakamise ilizwi lakho eBashani,

umemeze useAbarimi, ngoba zonke izithandwa zakho zibhujisiwe.

21Ngakhuluma lawe uselenhlanhla,

kodwa wena wathi: Kangiyikulalela.

Lokho kuyindlela yakho kusukela ebutsheni bakho,

ukuba ungalilaleli ilizwi lami.

22Umoya uzaphephula bonke abelusi bakho,

lezithandwa zakho zizathunjwa:

ng’khonake uzakuba lenhloni, udane, ngenxa yobubi bakho bonke.

23Wena ohlala eLebanoni, owakhe isidleke sakho phakathi kwemikusu,

yeka ukukhala kwakho mhla uzakwehlelwa yibuhlungu,

ubuhlungu obunjengobowesifazana obelethayo.

24Ngiyazifunga mina, kutsho iNkosi, loba uKoniya indodana kaJehoyakimi, inkosi yakoJuda, ebeyindandatho esandleni sami sokunene, bengizakukuhluthula, ngikukhuphe,2 Kho 24:8–15; 2 Lan 36:9–10

25ngikunikele ezandleni zalabo abakuzingelayo, labo obesabayo, ngitsho esandleni sikaNebukadineza inkosi yaseBabiloni lakumaKaladiya,

26ngikuphosele kanye lonyoko kwelinye ilizwe ongazalelwanga kilo, ufele khona.

27Kodwa elizweni abafisa ukubuyela kilo kabayikubuyela.

28Lumuntu uKoniya uyimbiza efileyo lesitsha esingananzwa muntu na?

Uphoselelwani yena labantwana bakhe kwelinye ilizwe abangalaziyo na?

29Wena lizwe, lizwe, zwana ilizwi leNkosi.

30INkosi ithi: Lobani ukuthi lumuntu kalabantwana,

umuntu ongayikuphumelela ensukwini zakhe;

ngoba kakho loyedwa enzalweni yakhe ozahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavida,

abuse futhi koJuda.
