uYeremiya uYeremiya 25 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

Wathetha uYehova wathi, Guquka!

1Ilizwi elafikayo kuYeremiya ngokusingisele ebantwini bonke bakwaYuda, ngomnyaka wesine wobukumkani bukaYehoyakim unyana kaYosiya, ukumkani wakwaYuda, ongumnyaka wokuqala wobukumkani bukaNebhukadenetsare ukumkani waseBhabheli.

2Oko wakuthethayo uYeremiya umprofeti kubo bonke abantu bakwaYuda, nakubo bonke abemi baseYerusalem, esithi,

3Kususela kumnyaka weshumi elinesithathu kaYosiya unyana ka-Amon, ukumkani wakwaYuda, kuzise kule mini, le minyaka imashumi mabini anamithathu, kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kum, lathetha nawe, lisithi, ndivuka kusasa, ndivuke kusasa, ndivuke ekuseni. Ndiyathetha; kodwa aniphulaphulanga.

4uYehova wathumela kuni bonke abakhonzi bakhe, abaprofeti, wavuka kusasa, wabathuma; kodwa aniphulaphulanga, neendlebe zenu anibathobelanga.

5Bathi ke bona, Guqukani elowo endleleni yakhe embi, nasebubini beentlondi zenu, nihlale ezweni elo, aninikileyo uYehova, nina nooyihlo, kude kuse ephakadeni;

6ningalandeli thixo bambi, ningabakhonzi, ningabakhonzi, ningandikhonzi ngomsebenzi wezandla zenu; andiyi kukwenza nto imbi.

7Aniphulaphulanga kum, utsho uYehova; ukuze uwusebenzise umsebenzi wezandla zakho kuni.

8Ngako oko, utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Ngenxa enokuba ningawaphulaphulanga amazwi am,

9Yabonani, ndithumela kuNebhukadenetsare ukumkani waseBhabheli, umkhonzi wam, zonke izizwe zasentla, utsho uYehova, ukuba ndibazisele, ukuba bahlasele eli lizwe, nabemi balo, nabamelwane bawo onke abamelwane iintlanga Uya kubabetha ngesiqalekiso, abenze imimangaliso nesigculelo nesiphanziso ukusa kwixesha elingenammiselo.

10Ndiya kulisusa kubo izwi lemivuyo nezwi lemivuyo, izwi lomyeni nezwi lomtshakazi, nesandi sogwali nokukhanya kwesibane.

11Kwaye lonke ihlabathi liya kuba lilizwe elihle; ezi ntlanga ziya kumkhonza ukumkani waseBhabheli iminyaka emashumi asixhenxe.

12Emva kweminyaka engamashumi asixhenxe ndiya kumkhalimela ukumkani waseBhabhiloni nolo hlanga ngenxa yobungendawo babo nangenxa yelizwe lamaKhaledi, utsho uYehova, ndilenze libe senkangala kude kube sekupheleni kwexesha elilinganiselweyo,

13ndowazisa kweli lizwe onke amazwi am endawathethayo ngalo, nayo yonke into ebhaliweyo kule ncwadi, ayiprofetileyo uYeremiya ngeentlanga zonke.

14Kuba iintlanga ezininzi nookumkani abakhulu baya kukhonza ngabo, yaye ndiya kubavuza ngokwezenzo zabo nangokwezenzo zezandla zabo.

15Ngokuba utshilo kum uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, ukuthi, Thabatha le ndebe yewayini yobushushu esandleni sam, zisele ngayo iintlanga zonke, endikuthumela kuzo;

16Ziya kusela, zihexe, zigeze, ngenxa yekrele endilithumela phakathi kwazo.

17Ndayithabatha ke indebe esandleni sikaYehova, ndazinika amanzi zonke iintlanga, awayendithumele kuzo uYehova:

18oko kukuthi, iYerusalem, nemizi yakwaYuda, nookumkani bayo, nabathetheli bayo, ukuba benziwe iimpanza, nommangaliso, nesigculelo, nentshabhiso; kunjani namhlanje;

19uFaro ukumkani waseYiputa, nabakhonzi bakhe, nabathetheli bakhe, nabantu bakhe bonke;

20nomxukuxela wonke, nookumkani bonke belizwe lakwaUtse, nookumkani bonke belizwe lamaFilisti, neAshkelon, neAsa, ne-Ekron, namasalela aseAshdode;

21uEdom, noMowabhi, noonyana baka-Amon;

22nookumkani bonke baseTire, nookumkani bonke baseTsidon, nookumkani bonke beziqithi eziphesheya kolwandle;

23uDedan, noTema, noBhuse, nabo bonke abakweleembombo zone;

24nookumkani bonke bama-Arabhi, nookumkani bonke bolunye uhlanga, ababemi entlango;

25nookumkani bonke bakwaZimri, nookumkani bonke bakwaElam, nookumkani bonke bamaMedi;

26nookumkani bonke belasentla, abakufuphi nabakude, elowo nowabo, nezikumkani zonke zehlabathi eziphezu komhlaba, asele emva kwabo ukumkani waseSesaki.

27Ngako oko uthi kubo, Utsho uYehova wemikhosi, uThixo kaSirayeli, ukuthi, Yabonani, ndinguYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli; Sela, unxile, usele, uwe, ungabuyi uvuke ngenxa yekrele endilithumela phakathi kwenu.

28Ukuba bathe abavuma ukuyithabatha indebe esandleni sakho ukuba bayisele, wothi kubo, Utsho uYehova wemikhosi; Ngokuqinisekileyo uya kusela.

29Ngokuba, yabonani, sendiqalile ukuwenza ububi emzini obizwa ngegama lam; Aniyi kuba msulwa, ngokuba ikrele ndilibizela bonke abemi behlabathi; utsho uYehova wemikhosi.

30Ke ngoko, profeta onke amazwi ngokuchasene nabo, uze uthi kubo: iNkosi iya kubharhula phezulu kwaye iliphakamise ilizwi layo ebudodeni bayo obungcwele; uya kubharhula phezu kwentente yakhe; njengabo baxovula umdiliya, uya kuphakamisa isikhalo kubo bonke abemi behlabathi.

31Ingxolo iye eziphelweni zehlabathi; ngokuba uYehova ubambene neentlanga, uya kulwa nenyama yonke; abangendawo ubanikela ekreleni; utsho uYehova.

32Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Yabonani, ububi buya kuphuma kolunye uhlanga, buye kolunye;

33Yaye ngaloo mini, abo baya koyiswa nguYehova, baya kususela kwesinye isiphelo sehlabathi ukusa kwesinye isiphelo sehlabathi; abayi kumbambazelelwa, abayi kuhlanganiswa, bangcwatywe; iya kugcinwa emhlabeni.

34Lilani, balusi, nilile; Zigaleleni eluthuthwini, zintloko zomhlambi; kwaye uya kuwa njengento ethandekayo.

35Abalusi baya kufuna indlela yokusaba, neenkokeli zomhlambi aziyi kusinda.

36Ilizwi lokukhala kwabalusi liya kuvakala isikhalo sezikhulu zomhlambi, ngenxa yokuba uYehova ulitshabalalisile idlelo labo.

37Neendawo zokuhlala zoxolo ziphangiwe ngenxa yokuvutha komsindo kaYehova.

38Uyishiyile indawo yakhe yokuzimela njengengonyama, ngenxa yokuba ilizwe labo libe yinkangala ephanzileyo ngenxa yokuvutha komsindo womcinezeli nangenxa yomsindo wakhe.
