Jer 46 - Ndebele Bible (iBhayibhili Elingcwele) 1978

Ilizwi ngeGibithe

1Nanti ilizwi leNkosi elafika kuJeremiya umprofethi ngezizwe.

2Mayelana leGibithe. Ngempi kaFaro Neko inkosi yaseGibithe, eyayingasemfuleni iYufrathi, eKarikemishi, ayinqobayo uNebukadineza inkosi yaseBabiloni ngomnyaka wesine wokubusa kukaJehoyakimi indodana kaJosiya, inkosi yakoJuda, ilizwi lathi:

3Lungisani amahawu lezihlangu, liye empini.

4Bophelani amabhiza, ligade lina bagadi bamabhiza.

Lisuke lime, lithwele ingowane zenu, lilole imikhonto yenu,

ligqoke amabhatshi enu ensimbi.

5Ngibonani na? Sebephele amandla, babuyele emuva.

Lamaqhawe abo ayahlulwa, ayabaleka, kawanyemukuli emuva;

lokwesaba kunxa zonke, kutsho iNkosi.

6Olejubane kalakubaleka, leqhawe kalilakuphunyuka;

ngasenyakatho eceleni komfula iYufrathi bakhubekile, bawa.

7Ngubani lo okhukhumala njengeNile,

njengemifula elamanzi aqubukayo na?

8IGibithe likhukhumala njengeNile,

njengemifula elamanzi aqubukayo.

Lithi: Ngizakhukhumala, ngiwusibekele umhlaba,

ngichithe imizi kanye labahlala kiyo.

9Qhubekelani phambili, lina mabhiza,

liye phambili njengabahlanyayo, lina zinqola.

Kawaphume amaqhawe,

amadoda aseEtiyopiya lasePuti aphatha izihlangu,

lamadoda aseLudi akwazi ukubamba umtshoki.

10Lolosuku lusuku lweNkosi, uNkulunkulu wamabandla,

losuku lokuphindisela ukuba iziphindisele ezitheni zayo.

Umkhonto uzakudla usuthe, waneliswe ligazi labo.

Ngoba iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wamabandla, izakwenza umhlatshelo

elizweni lasenyakatho ngasemfuleni iYufrathi.

11Yana eGileyadi, uyedinga umuthi, wena Gibithe.

Lokhu eyakho yonke iyize, ngoba kawusili.

12Izizwe zizwile ngehlazo lakho,

lomhlaba ugcwele ukukhala kwakho;

ngoba iqhawe likhutshwa ngelinye iqhawe,

awele phansi womabili.

13Ilizwi leNkosi eyalikhuluma kuJeremiya umprofethi ngokuza kukaNebukadineza inkosi yaseBabiloni ukuhlasela iGibithe, lathi:

14Memezelani eGibithe, lizwakalise eMigidoli,

limemeze eMemfisi laseTahafanesi, lithi:

Sukumani, lime, lizilungiselele,

ngoba umkhonto uzakudla inxa zonke zenu.

15Ubalekeleni uApisi na?

Kayimanga ngani linkunzi yakho na?

Kungoba iNkosi yayilahla phansi.

16Abanengi benu bakhubeka bawa,

bakhulumisana besithi:

Vukani, sibuyele ebantwini bakithi,

laselizweni esazalelwa kilo, ngenxa yomkhonto womchithi.

17Bizani uFaro inkosi yaseGibithe ngokuthi:

Ngumsindo okhutha ithuba.

18Ngizifunga mina uqobo, kutsho iNkosi,

mina engiyiNkosi yamabandla.

NjengeTabori phakathi kwezintaba lanjengeKarmeli phansi kolwandle uzafika othile.

19Zilungiseleni umthwalo wokuthunjwa, lina baseGibithe.

Ngoba iMemfisi izakuba yinkangala, lonxiwa olungahlalwa muntu.

20IGibithe lilithokazi elihle,

kodwa isibawu esivela enyakatho sesifikile kulo.

21Lamabutho alo aqatshiweyo akhona phakathi kwalo anjengamathole anonileyo;

abuyela emuva, abaleka kanyekanye, kawemanga,

ngoba usuku lokuhlupheka kwawo luwehlele,

isikhathi sokutshwaywa kwawo.

22Liyahotshoza njengenyoka ebalekayo;

ngoba izitha zalo ziyeza ziyimpi,

ziphethe amahloka njengabantu abagamulayo izihlahla.

23Zizagamula amahlathi alo, kutsho iNkosi, lanxa engangeneki,

ngoba zinengi ukwedlula isikhongwane, kazilakubalwa.

24AmaGibithe azayangeka,

azanikelwa ezandleni zabantu abavela enyakatho.

25INkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, ithi: Ngizatshaya uAmoni waseThebesi, loFaro, leGibithe kanye labonkulunkulu babo, lamakhosi alo, yebo uFaro kanye labamthembayo.

26Ngizabanikela ezandleni zalabo ababazingelayo, esandleni sikaNebukadineza inkosi yaseBabiloni lezinduna zakhe, andubana iGibithe lakhiwe futhi njengasensukwini zasendulo, kutsho iNkosi.

27Kodwa ungesabi, wena Jakobe nceku yami,

ungatshaywa luvalo, wena Israyeli,

ngoba ngizakukukhulula usekhatshana,

lenzalo yakho elizweni lokuthunjwa kwayo.

UJakobe uzakubuya aphumule, ahlale kuhle, angethuswa muntu.

28Ungesabi, wena Jakobe nceku yami, kutsho iNkosi, ngoba ngilawe.

Ngizachitha ngokupheleleyo zonke izizwe engikuxotshele kuzo,

kodwa wena kangiyikukuqeda ngokupheleleyo.

Ngizakukukhuza ngokufaneleyo, kangiyikukuyekela.
