UJeremiya 30 - Ndebele Contemporary Bible 2022

Ukubuyiswa Kuka-Israyeli

1Leli yilizwi elafika kuJeremiya livela kuThixo lisithi:

2“UThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi, ‘Loba encwadini wonke amazwi engiwakhulume kuwe.

3Insuku ziyeza,’ kutsho uThixo, ‘lapho engizabuyisa abantu bami u-Israyeli loJuda bevela ekuthunjweni ngibabuyisele elizweni engalinika okhokho babo ukuba libe ngelabo,’ kutsho uThixo.”

4Amazwi akhulunywa nguThixo ngo-Israyeli loJuda:

5“Wathi:

‘Ukukhala kokwesaba kuzwakele,

ukwesaba okukhulu, hatshi ukuthula.

6Buzani libone:

Indoda ingazala abantwana na?

Pho kungani ngibona wonke amadoda aqinileyo

ebambe izisu zawo ngezandla njengowesifazane ohelelwayo,

ubuso bonke sebube mhlotshana okokufa?

7Yeka ukwesabeka okuzakuba yilolosuku!

Kalukho oluzakuba njengalo.

Kuzakuba yisikhathi sokuhlupheka kukaJakhobe,

kodwa uzahlengwa kukho.

8Ngalolosuku,’ kutsho uThixo uSomandla,

‘ngizalephula ijogwe entanyeni zabo

ngiqamule lezibopho zabo;

abezizweni kabasayikubagqilaza futhi.

9Esikhundleni salokho, bazasebenzela uThixo uNkulunkulu wabo,

loDavida inkosi yabo,

engizabavusela yona.

10Ngakho ungesabi, wena Jakhobe nceku yami;

ungadangali, wena Israyeli,’

kutsho uThixo.

‘Ngeqiniso ngizakuhlenga ezindaweni ezikude,

lenzalo yakho elizweni lokuthunjwa kwayo.

UJakhobe uzakuba lokuthula futhi kanye lokuvikeleka,

njalo kakho ozamenza esabe.

11Ngilawe njalo ngizakuhlenga,’

kutsho uThixo.

‘Lanxa ngizichitha ngokupheleleyo zonke izizwe

engikuhlakazela kuzo,

wena angiyikukuchitha ngokupheleleyo.

Ngizakuqondisa kodwa ngokufaneleyo kuphela;

kangiyikukuyekela ungajeziswanga.’

12 UThixo uthi:

‘Isilonda sakho kaselapheki,

ukulimala kwakho akupholi.

13Kakho okhulumela inhloso yakho,

akulamuthi wesilonda sakho,

akukho kuphola kuwe.

14Bonke abangane bakho sebekukhohliwe;

kabalandaba lawe.

Ngikutshaye njengokungenziwa yisitha

ngakujezisa njengokungenziwa ngolesihluku,

ngoba icala lakho likhulu kakhulu

lezono zakho zinengi kakhulu.

15Kungani ukhaliswa linxeba lakho,

ubuhlungu bakho obungelaphekiyo na?

Ngenxa yecala lakho elikhulu lezono ezinengi

ngenze lezizinto kuwe.

16Kodwa bonke abakudlayo bazadliwa;

zonke izitha zakho zizathunjwa.

Labo abakuphangayo bazaphangwa;

bonke abakwemukayo ngizabemuka.

17Kodwa ngizakusilisa ngipholise lamanxeba akho,’

kutsho uThixo,

‘ngoba kuthiwa ungolahliweyo,

iZiyoni okungekho olendaba lalo.’

18 UThixo uthi:

‘Ngizavuselela inotho yasemathenteni kaJakhobe

ngibe lesihawu emakhaya akhe;

idolobho lizakwakhiwa kutsha emanxiweni alo,

lendlu yobukhosi izakuma endaweni yayo uqobo.

19Kubo kuzavela izingoma zokubonga

kanye lomsindo wokuthokoza.

Ngizakwandisa amanani abo,

njalo kabayikuphungulwa;

ngizabenza bahlonitshwe,

njalo kabayikweyiswa.

20Abantwana babo bazakuba njengezinsukwini zakudala,

lebandla labo lizamiselwa phambi kwami;

ngizabajezisa bonke ababancindezelayo.

21Umkhokheli wabo uzakuba ngomunye wabakibo;

umbusi wabo uzavela phakathi kwabo.

Ngizamsondeza eduze, uzakuza phansi kwami,

ngoba ngubani lowo ongazinikela

ukuba seduze kwami na?’

kutsho uThixo.

22‘Ngakho lina lizakuba ngabantu bami,

mina ngibe nguNkulunkulu wenu.’ ”

23Khangelani, isiphepho sikaThixo

sizakhupha ulaka,

umoya osasivunguzane usehlela

phezu kwamakhanda ababi.

24Ulaka olwesabekayo lukaThixo kaluyikudeda

aze ayifeze ngokupheleleyo

injongo yenhliziyo yakhe.

Ensukwini ezizayo

lizakuzwisisa lokhu.
