uYeremiya uYeremiya 34 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

1Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kuYeremiya, akubon’ ukuba uNebhukadenetsare ukumkani waseBhabheli, enempi yakhe yonke, nezikumkani zonke zelimiweyo phantsi kobukumkani bakhe, ziyilwa neYerusalem zonke iintlanga nemizi yayo, lisithi,

2Utsho uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, ukuthi, Yiya, uthethe kuZedekiya ukumkani wakwaYuda, uthi kuye, Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Yabona, ndikuthabathe; Uyabona, lo mzi ndiya kuwunikela esandleni sokumkani waseBhabheli, awutshise ngomlilo.

3Akuyi kusinda esandleni sakhe, kodwa uya kubanjwa, unikelwe esandleni sakhe; amehlo akho aya kuwabona amehlo okumkani waseBhabhiloni, yaye uya kuthetha ngomlomo wakho nangomlomo wakho, yaye uya kuya eBhabhiloni.

4Live ilizwi likaYehova, Zedekiya, kumkani wakwaYuda; Utsho uYehova ngani ukuthi, Aniyi kufa likrele,

5uya kufa unoxolo; ngokutshiselwa kooyihlo, ookumkani bokuqala ababekho ngaphambi kwakho bakutshise ngesiqhumiso; baya kukhalela wena, besithi, Oh! kuba ndithethe ilizwi,’ utsho uYehova.

6Wawathetha ke uYeremiya umprofeti onke la mazwi kuZedekiya ukumkani wakwaYuda, eYerusalem.

7Xa umkhosi wamajoni kakumkani waseBhabhiloni wawusilwa neYerusalem nazo zonke izixeko zakwaYuda ezazisele, iLakishe neAsheki, ngenxa yokuba ezi zixeko zokusabela zazisele kwizixeko zakwaYuda.

8Lilo eli ilizwi elafikayo likaYehova kuYeremiya, emveni kokuba ukumkani uZedekiya wenza umnqophiso nabantu bonke ababeseYerusalem, ukuba bakhale ukuba bakhululwe;

9elowo alikhulule ikhoboka lakhe, elowo alikhulule ikhobokazana lakhe elingumHebhere nokuba ngumHebherekazi; ukuze kungabikho namnye umkhonzayo, ongumYuda ongumzalwana wakhe.

10Zakuva zonke iinkosana nabantu bonke ababengene emnqophisweni ukuba elowo akhulule ikhoboka lakhe, elowo ikhobokazana lakhe, angabi sabakho, bathobela; bahamba ke.

11Kodwa emva koko bajika baza babuyisa ikhoboka nekhobokazana ababebakhulule, babacinezela ngamakhoboka namakhobokazana.

12Lafika ke ilizwi likaYehova kuYeremiya, livela kuYehova, lisithi:

13Utsho uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, ukuthi, Ndenza umnqophiso nooyihlo, ekubakhupheni kwam ezweni laseYiputa, endlwini yobukhoboka, ndathi,

14Ekupheleni kweminyaka esixhenxe, elowo makashiye umzalwana wakhe ongumHebhere lowo kwathengiswa kuwe; ukuba uthe wakhonza iminyaka emithandathu, makahambe eze kuwe;

15Nangoku ke najika nenza okuthe tye emehlweni am ngokuthi, elowo makakhulule ummelwane wakhe; yaye wenza umnqophiso phambi kwam endlwini ebizwa ngegama lam.

16Nabuya ke nalenza inqambi igama lam, nabuyela elowo ikhoboka lakhe, nabuyela elowo ikhobokazana lakhe, enalikhulula ngokuqhutywa yintliziyo, nazinikela kubo, ukuba babe ngabakhonzi kuni, nabakhonzi benu.

17Ngako oko, utsho uYehova ukuthi, Anindiphulaphulanga ngokuthi nibize inkululeko, elowo ngenxa yomzalwana wakhe; yabonani, ndininika inkululeko, utsho uYehova, yokuphuma ekreleni, nasendyikityeni yokufa, nasendlaleni; ndiya kukuphakamisa ezikumkanini zonke zehlabathi;

18Ndowanikela amadoda awaphule umnqophiso wam, angawagcinanga amazwi omnqophiso awawenzayo phambi kwam, abeya kulityatya ithole, acanda phakathi kwalo;

19neenkosana zakwaYuda neenkosana zaseYerusalem, abalungiseleli nababingeleli nabo bonke abantu belizwe abadlula phakathi kwenxalenye yethole lenkomo;

20ndibanikele esandleni seentshaba zabo, nasesandleni sabafuna umphefumlo wabo; izidumbu zabo zibe kukudla kweentaka zezulu nokwamarhamncwa.

21Ndiza kumnikela uZedekiya ukumkani wakwaYuda nabathetheli bakhe esandleni seentshaba zabo nasesandleni sabafuna umphefumlo wabo nasesandleni somkhosi wokumkani waseBhabhiloni ophuma kuni.

22Yabona, ndiwisa umthetho, utsho uYehova, ndibabuyisele kulo mzi; baya kulwa nawe, bathimbe, bakutshise ngomlilo; nezixeko zakwaYuda ndiya kuzenza zibe yinkangala ephanzileyo, engenammi.
