1Kwathi uPhashuri umphristi indodana ka-Imeri, induna enkulu ethempelini likaThixo, ezwe uJeremiya ephrofitha lezizinto,
2wenza ukuthi uJeremiya umphrofethi atshaywe njalo wamvalela esitokisini eSangweni laPhezulu koBhenjamini ethempelini likaThixo.
3Ngosuku olwalandelayo, uPhashuri esemkhupha esitokisini, uJeremiya wathi kuye, “Ibizo lakho oliphiwe nguThixo akusiPhashuri, kodwa uMagori-Misabibi,
4ngoba uThixo uthi: ‘Ngizakwenza ubelucuku ngokwakho lakubo bonke abangane bakho; uzababona ngamehlo akho besiwa ngenkemba yezitha zabo. UJuda wonke ngizamnikela enkosini yaseBhabhiloni, ezabathumba ibase eBhabhiloni loba ibabulale ngenkemba.
5Yonke inotho yedolobho leli ngizayipha izitha zabo lazozonke izithelo zalo, zonke izinto zalo eziligugu kanye lemfuyo yonke yamakhosi akoJuda zizayithumba njengempango ziyithwalele eBhabhiloni.
6Wena Phashuri, labo bonke abahlala endlini yakho lizathunjwa liye eBhabhiloni. Uzafela khonale, ungcwatshwe khonale, wena kanye labangane bakho bonke ophrofetha amanga kubo.’ ”
Insolo KaJeremiya7Awu Thixo, wangiyenga, ngayengeka;
wangehlula wanqoba.
Ngiyahlekwa insuku zonke;
bonke bayangiklolodela.
8Zonke izikhathi lapho ngikhuluma, ngiyakhala
ngimemezela ukuba kube lodlakela lokuchitheka.
Ngakho ilizwi likaThixo selingilethele
isithuko lensolo ilanga lonke.
9Kodwa nxa ngisithi, “Kangiyikumqamba
loba ngikhulume ngebizo lakhe futhi,”
ilizwi lakhe lisenhliziyweni yami njengomlilo,
umlilo ovalelwe emathanjeni ami.
Sengidiniwe ngokuligodla ngaphakathi;
impela, ngingeke nganelise.
10Ngizwa abanengi benyenyeza besithi,
“Kulokuthuthumela indawo yonke!
Mmangaleleni! Kasimangalele!”
Abangane bami bonke
balindele ukuwa kwami, besithi,
“Mhlawumbe uzakhohliseka;
besesimehlula
siphindisele kuye.”
11Kodwa uThixo ulami njengebutho elilamandla;
ngakho abangihluphayo bazakuwa banganqobi.
Bazakwehluleka njalo bayangeke kakhulu;
ihlazo labo kaliyikukhohlakala lanini.
12Awu Thixo Somandla, wena ohlola abalungileyo,
uhlole inhliziyo lengqondo,
kangibone ukuphindisela kwakho kubo,
ngoba indaba yami ngiyinikele kuwe.
13Hlabelani uThixo!
Limdumise uThixo!
Uhlenga impilo yabaswelayo
ezandleni zababi.
14Kaluqalekiswe usuku engazalwa ngalo!
Usuku umama angizala ngalo kalungabusiswa!
15Kaqalekiswe umuntu owayabikela ubaba izindaba,
owamemeza wathaba, esithi,
“Uzalelwe indodana!”
16Lowomuntu kabe njengamadolobho
uThixo awachitha kungekho sihawu.
Kezwe ukulila ekuseni,
lomkhosi wempi emini.
17Ngoba kangibulalelanga esiswini,
umama enjengengcwaba lami,
isisu sakhe sikhukhumele kokuphela.
18Ngaphumelani esiswini
ukuba ngibone uhlupho losizi
njalo akuthi ngiphethe insuku zami ngiphakathi kwehlazo?
