Jer 30 - Ndebele Bible (iBhayibhili Elingcwele) 1978

Ukubuyela kwabathunjiweyo kuyathenjiswa

1Ilizwi leNkosi elafika kuJeremiya lathi:

2INkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, ithi: Loba encwadini wonke amazwi engiwakhulume kuwe.

3Ngoba insuku ziyeza, lapho ngizabuyisa abantu bami uIsrayeli loJuda, kutsho iNkosi. Ngizababuyisela elizweni engalinika okhokho babo, libe ngelabo.

4La ngamazwi iNkosi eyawakhuluma ngoIsrayeli loJuda,

5yathi: Sizwile ilizwi lokwethuka,

lelokwesaba, lelokuswela ukuthula.

6Ake libuze lizwe, kumbe indoda ingazala umntwana na?

Phoke, kungani ngibona wonke amadoda ebambe inkalo zawo njengowesifazana ohelelwayo na?

Kungani ubuso bonke bunyukumele na?

7Maye! lukhulu lolosuku, kalukho olunye olunjengalo.

Kuyisikhati sokuhlupheka kukaJakobe,

kanti uzakukhululwa kukho.

8Kuzakuthi ngalolosuku, kutsho iNkosi yamabandla, ngilaphule ijogwe entanyeni zabo, ngiqamule izibopho zabo, kabasayikusebenzela abezizwe,

9kodwa bazasebenzela mina Nkosi, uNkulunkulu wabo, loDavida inkosi yabo engizakubavusela yena.

10Ngakhoke ungesabi, wena Jakobe, nceku yami;

ungatshaywa luvalo, wena Israyeli, kutsho iNkosi;

ngoba ngizakukukhulula endaweni ekhatshana,

lenzalo yakho elizweni lokuthunjwa kwayo.

UJakobe uzakubuya aphumule, ahlale kuhle,

angethuswa muntu.

11Ngoba mina ngilawe ukukukhulula, kutsho iNkosi.

Ngoba ngizachitha ngokupheleleyo zonke izizwe engikuhlakazele phakathi kwazo,

kodwa wena kangiyikukubhubhisa ngokupheleleyo;

ngizakukukhuza ngokufaneleyo,

kangiyikukuyekela.

12INkosi ithi: Ukulimala kwakho kakwelapheki,

lesilonda sakho sibi.

13Kakho onanzelela amanxeba akho,

kakulamuthi ozakukwelapha ukuba usile.

14Zonke izithandwa zakho zikukhohliwe, kazisakudingi.

Ngoba ngikutshayile njengesitha, ngokutshaya okulolunya,

ngoba icala lakho likhulu, lezono zakho zandile.

15Ukhalelani ngokulimala kwakho na?

Ubuhlungu bakho kabelapheki.

Ngoba ukona kwakho kukhulu, lezono zakho zandile.

Ngikwenzile lokhu kuwe.

16Ngalokhoke bonke abakudlayo bazakudliwa,

lezitha zakho zonke zizathunjwa,

labakuphangayo bazakuphangwa,

labo bonke abakwamukayo bazakwamukwa.

17Ngoba ngizabuyisa ukusila kwakho,

ngelaphe amanxeba akho, kutsho iNkosi.

Ngoba bakubize ngokuthi: Ungolahliweyo, leZiyone elingafunwa muntu.

18INkosi ithi: Ngizabuyisa abantwana bakaJakobe,

ngihawukele wonke amakhaya abo.

Yonke imizi izakwakhiwa futhi endaweni yayo,

lazo zonke izindlu zakhiwe njengakuqala.

19Kuzaphuma kubo ingoma zokubonga, lokumemeza kwabathokozayo.

Ngizakubandisa babe banengi,

bazahlonitshwa, bangabi balutshwana.

20Abantwana babo bazakuba njengakuqala,

lebandla labo lizakuma phambi kwami;

ngizabatshaya bonke ababacindezelayo.

21Isikhulu sabo sizakuba ngomunye wabo,

lombusi wabo uzavela phakathi kwabo;

ngizamsondeza, asondele kimi,

ngoba ngubani ongaba lesibindi sokusondela kimi na? kutsho iNkosi.

22Lizakuba ngabantu bami, lami ngibe nguNkulunkulu wenu.

23Khangelani ulaka lweNkosi lunjengesivunguzane,

luphumile, lunjengesiphepha esivunguzayo,

luzakwehlela phezu kwababi.

24Ulaka oluvuthayo lweNkosi kaluyikudeda,

ize iphelelise izifiso zenhliziyo yayo.

Ensukwini zokuphela lizakukuqedisisa lokhu.
