uYeremiya uYeremiya 23 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

1Yeha ke, abalusi abatshabalalisa, bachithachithe umhlambi wedlelo lam! utsho uYehova.

2Ngako oko, utsho uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, ngenxa yabalusi abaluse abantu bam; Wazichithachitha umhlambi wam, wazigxotha, akwazivelela; yabonani, ndiya kunivelela ngenxa yobubi beentlondi zenu; utsho uYehova.

3Ndiya kuwabutha amasalela omhlambi wam emazweni onke endawachithachithela kuwo, ndiwabuyisele emadlelweni awo; kwaye baya kwanda kwaye bande;

4ndiwamisele abalusi abaya kuwalusa; yaye abasayi koyika okanye bankwantye, yaye abayi kuswela nto,” utsho uYehova.

5Yabonani, iyeza imihla, utsho uYehova, endiya kummisela uDavide iHlumelo elililungisa, libe ngukumkani ongukumkani, enze yena ngengqiqo, enze ubulungisa nokusesikweni ehlabathini.

6Ngemihla yakhe uYuda uya kukhululwa noSirayeli ekhuselekile; negama lakhe aya kubizwa ngalo, lilo eli: uYehova ububulungisa bethu.

7Ngako oko, utsho uYehova, iyeza imihla abangayi kuba sathi, NguYehova ovayo, owabakhuphayo oonyana bakaSirayeli ezweni laseYiputa;

8Ke ngoYehova ophilileyo, owabakhuphayo oonyana bendlu kaSirayeli ezweni lasentla, nasemazweni onke endabafudusela kuwo; kwaye baya kuhlala emhlabeni wabo.

9Intliziyo yam yaphukile phakathi kwam ngenxa yabaprofeti; Ayanyikima onke amathambo am; Ndifana nenxila nanjengomntu owethwe yiwayini ngenxa kaYehova nangenxa yamazwi akhe angcwele.

10Ngokuba ilizwe lizele ngabakrexezi; ngokuba ilizwe likhalela isifungo; iindawo ezinqwenelekayo zentlango ngumqwebedu, nendlela yawo imbi, nokuqina kwawo akukuhle.

11Ngokuba umprofeti nombingeleli abangcwele; ndizifumene nasendlwini yam izinto zabo ezimbi; utsho uYehova.

12Ngoko umendo wabo uya kuba njengeendlela ezibuthelezi esithokothokweni; baya kusukelwa bawe khona; kuba ndiya kubazisela intlekele, unyaka wokukohlwaya kwabo,” utsho uYehova.

13Ndabona ubudenge babaprofeti bakwaSamari; baprofeta ngoBhahali, babandwendwisa abantu bam amaSirayeli.

14Ndabona into eyoyikekayo kubaprofeti baseYerusalem: bayakrexeza yaye bahamba ebuxokini; Bazomelezile izandla zenginingini, ukuba kungabuyi mntu ebubini bakhe; kum bonke banjengeSodom, nabemi bayo banjengeGomora.

15Ke ngoko, kwathethwa yiNkosi yemikhosi kubaprofeti; Yabona, ndiyabadlisa amanqatha, ndibaseze inyongo; kuba kubaprofeti baseYerusalem kuphuma okungendawo, kwaya kulo lonke ihlabathi.

16Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Musani ukuwaphulaphula amazwi abaprofeti abaniprofetelayo; bakwenza into engento; bathetha umbono wentliziyo yabo, ongaphumi emlonyeni kaYehova.

17Bathi kwabandigxekayo, uYehova uthe, Niya kuba noxolo; nakubo bonke abahambayo ngobubi bentliziyo yabo, bathi, Aniyi kuwela ebubini;

18Kuba ngubani na wema entendelezweni kaYehova waza walibona waliva ilizwi lakhe? Ngubani na olivayo ilizwi lakhe, waliva?

19Yabona, umoya ovuthuzayo womsindo kaYehova, uyaphuma, sisiphango esinamandla; iya kuwa nzima phezu kweentloko zabangendawo.

20Awuyi kubuya umsindo kaYehova, ade azizalise iingcinga zentliziyo yakhe; ekupheleni kosuku kufuneka unikele ingqalelo kuyo.

21Andibathumanga abaprofeti abo, kugidime bona; Andithethanga kubo, kodwa bona baprofeta.

22Ukuba bathe basuka bama elucengeni lwam, bababeka abantu bam amazwi am, babuya baguquka endleleni yabo embi, nasebubini bezenzo zabo.

23Utsho uYehova, ndingabi nguThixo wakude na?

24Ngubani na ongamfihlayo ezindaweni ezifihlakeleyo, ukuba ndingamboni? utsho uYehova. Andizalise izulu nomhlaba? utsho uYehova.

25Ndikuvile abakuthethayo abaprofeti, abaprofeta ubuxoki egameni lam, besithi, Ndiphuphile, ndiphuphile.

26Koda kube nini na ezintliziyweni zabaprofeti abaprofeta ubuxoki? ewe, bangabenzi bokukhohlisa kweentliziyo zabo;

27bacinga ngokubalibazisa abantu bam igama lam ngamaphupha abo, abawalawulayo koonyana babo, njengoko ooyise balilibalayo igama lam ngenxa kaBhahali.

28Umprofeti onephupha makalawule iphupha elo; Lowo unelizwi lam, makathethe ilizwi lam enyanisekile. Uyintoni na umququ kwingqolowa? utsho uYehova.

29Alinjengomlilo na ilizwi lam? utsho uYehova; nanjengesando esiqhekeza ilitye?

30Ngako oko yabonani, ndibambene nabaprofeti, utsho uYehova, abawebayo amazwi am, elowo kwelakhe amazwi.

31Yabonani, ndibambene nabaprofeti, utsho uYehova, abathetha ngeelwimi zabo, bathi, Uthetha yena.

32Yabonani, ndichasene nabaprofeta amaphupha abuxoki, utsho uYehova, bawalawule, babalahlekise abantu bam ngobuxoki babo, nobuxoki babo; andibathumanga, ndingabawiselanga mthetho; ngenxa yoko abayi kulunceda olu hlanga, utsho uYehova.

33Ke kaloku, xa babuzayo aba bantu, nokuba ngumprofeti, nokuba ngumbingeleli, bathi, Siyintoni na isihlabo sikaYehova? wandule uthi kubo, Uyintoni na umthwalo? nam ndiya kunishiya, utsho uYehova.

34Umprofeti, nombingeleli, nabantu, abathi, Isihlabo sikaYehova, ndiya kuyivelela loo ndoda nendlu yayo.

35Nithi elowo kummelwane wakhe, elowo kumzalwana wakhe, nithi, Utheni na uYehova ukuphendule? nokuthi: Wathini uYehova?

36Musani ukuba sathetha ngomthwalo kaYehova, kuba ilizwi lomntu wonke liya kuba ngumthwalo kuye; kuba niwajikile amazwi kaThixo ophilayo, kaYehova wemikhosi, uThixo wethu.

37Uze uthi kumprofeti, ‘Ukuphendule wathini uYehova? nokuthi: Wathini uYehova?

38Kodwa ekubeni nisithi: ‘Sisigidimi sikaYehova! ngako oko, utsho uYehova; Ekubeni lithetha eli gama, lithi: Icebo likaYehova;

39Ngako oko, yabonani, ndiya kunilibala kuphele, ndinilahle, nina nomzi endaninika wona, nina nooyihlo, ndinigxothe phambi kobuso bam;

40ndiya kukuzisela ingcikivo engunaphakade, ihlazo elingunaphakade, elingenakulityalwa.
