uYeremiya uYeremiya 26 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

uYehova usenza eso sixeko sibe sisiqalekiso ngenxa yokungathobeli

1Ekuqaleni kobukumkani bukaYehoyakim unyana kaYosiya, ukumkani wakwaYuda, kwafika eli lizwi, liphuma kuYehova, lisithi,

2Wathi uYehova; Yima entendelezweni yendlu kaYehova, uthethe kuyo yonke imizi yakwaYuda, eya kuqubuda endlwini kaYehova, onke amazwi endikuwisela umthetho wokuba uwathethe kubo; ayinciphisi igama:

3Ukuba kunjalo, baya kuphulaphula baze baguquke, ngamnye endleleni yakhe embi, ukuze ndizisole ngobubi endicinga ukubenza kubo ngenxa yobubi bezenzo zabo.

4Wothi kubo, uYehova uthethile; njengokungathi anindiphulaphulanga, ukuba nihambe ngomyalelo wam endiwubeka phambi kwenu;

5ukuba niwaphulaphule amazwi abakhonzi bam, abaprofeti, endibathumele kuni, bavuka kusasa, babathuma, anaphulaphula;

6Ndiza kuyenza le ndlu ibe njengeShilo ndize ndisenze esi sixeko sibe sisiqalekiso kuzo zonke iintlanga zomhlaba.

7Beva ke uYeremiya ababingeleli, nabaprofeti, nabantu bonke, ethetha la mazwi endlwini kaYehova.

8Kwathi, akugqiba uYeremiya ukuthetha konke awayemwisele umthetho uYehova ukuba akuthethe ebantwini bonke, bambamba ababingeleli, nabaprofeti, nabantu bonke, besithi, Inene, uya kufa.

9Yini na ukuba uprofete egameni likaYehova, usithi, Le ndlu iya kuba njengeShilo, nesi sixeko sibe linxuwa, singabi nammi? Yaye bonke abantu bahlanganisana kuYeremiya endlwini kaYehova.

10Bakuyiva loo nto abathetheli bakwaYuda, bemka endlwini yokumkani, benyuka baya endlwini kaYehova, bahlala phantsi ekungeneni kwesango elitsha lendlu kaYehova.

11Ababingeleli nabaprofeti bathetha kwiinkosana nakubantu bonke, bathi: “Le ndoda ifanelwe kukufa; ngokuba uprofetele kulo mzi, njengoko nive ngeendlebe zenu.

12Wathetha uYeremiya kubathetheli bonke nakubantu bonke, esithi, uYehova undithume ukuba ndiprofete ngale ndlu nakulo mzi onke amazwi eniwavileyo.

13Kaloku ke, zilungiseni iindlela zenu neentlondi zenu, niliphulaphule ilizwi likaYehova uThixo wenu; yaye uYehova uya kuzohlwaya ngenxa yobubi athethe ngabo.

14Mna, yabonani, ndisesandleni senu; yenza kum njengoko uthanda, njengoko uthanda.

15Niyazi ke ukuba, ukuba nithe nandibulala, inene, wobeka igazi elimsulwa phezu kwenu, naphezu kwalo mzi, naphezu kwabemi bawo; ngokuba uYehova undithume kuni ukuba ndiwathethe onke la mazwi ezindlebeni zakho.

16Bathi iinkosana nabantu bonke kubabingeleli nakubaprofeti, Le ndoda ayifanelwe sisigwebo sokufa, ngokuba ithethe kuthi egameni likaYehova uThixo wethu.

17Kwasuka kwema ke amadoda kumadoda amakhulu elizwe, athetha kulo lonke ibandla labantu, esithi:

18uMikaya waseMorashe waprofeta ngemihla kaHezekiya ukumkani wakwaYuda, wathi kubantu bonke bakwaYuda, Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, iZiyon iya kutyalwa njengentsimi, iYerusalem ibe ngumwewe; intaba yendlu yona ibe njengokuphakama kwehlathi.

19Bambulala na uHezekiya ukumkani wakwaYuda, namaYuda onke? Akoyikanga uYehova na, wambuza uYehova, waza uYehova wazohlwaya ngenxa yobubi abebuthethile ngabo? Ngoko ke sinokwenza ububi obukhulu kwimiphefumlo yethu.

20Kananjalo bekukho indoda eyayiprofeta egameni likaYehova, u-Uriya unyana kaShemaya, waseKiriyati-yeharim, eprofeta ngalo mzi nangeli lizwe, ngokwamazwi onke kaYeremiya.

21Waweva ukumkani uYehoyakim, namagorha akhe onke, nabathetheli bonke, amazwi akhe; ukumkani wafuna ukumbulala; Weva ke u-Uriya woyika, wasaba, waya eYiputa.

22Ukumkani uYehoyakim wathumela amadoda eYiputa, uElinatan unyana ka-Akebhore, namanye amadoda eYiputa.

23Bamkhupha u-Uriya eYiputa, bamzisa kukumkani uYehoyakim; abo bambulala ngomkhonto, isidumbu sakhe basiphosa emangcwabeni abantu nje abaqhelekileyo.

24Ke isandla sika-Ahikam, unyana kaShafan, besinoYeremiya, ukuze banganikelwa esandleni sabantu ukuba bambulale.
