uYeremiya uYeremiya 38 - Contemporary Xhosa Bible 2024

uYeremiya uphoswa emhadini

1Ke kaloku uShefatiya unyana kaMatan, noGedaliya, unyana kaPashkure, noYukali unyana kaShelemiya, noPashure unyana kaMalekiya, baweva amazwi abewathetha uYeremiya ebantwini bonke, esithi,

2Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Bonke abaseleyo kulo mzi bobulawa likrele, nayindlala, nayindyikitya yokufa; ophuma aye kumaKaledi wophila; ngokuba umphefumlo wakhe uya kuba lixhoba, aphile.

3Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Esi sixeko siya kunikelwa ngonaphakade esandleni somkhosi wokumkani waseBhabhiloni, yaye ngokuqinisekileyo uya kusithimba.

4Bathi ke abathetheli kukumkani, Siyakucela kuwe, ukuba mayibulawe le ndoda, ngokuba wenjenje ukuxengxeza izandla zamagorha aseleyo kulo mzi, nezandla zabantu bonke, ngokuthetha ngokwaloo mazwi; yada indoda yenza njalo engafuni okulungileyo kwesi sizwe, kodwa ezimbi.

5Wathi ukumkani uZedekiya, Yabonani, usezandleni zenu, ngokuba akangokumkani onako ukwenza nantoni na kuni.

6Bandula ke bamthabatha uYeremiya baza bamphosa equleni likaMalekiya unyana kakumkani kakumkani, elalikwintendelezo yentolongo; bamehlisa uYeremiya ngeentsontelo. Bekungekho manzi equleni, ludaka lodwa; ngoko ke, uYeremiya watshona eludakeni.

7Xa uEbhedi-melege, umKushi, omnye wabalungiseleli ababesendlwini kakumkani, weva ukuba uYeremiya ufakwe equleni; Ukumkani wahlala esangweni lakwaBhenjamin;

8Waphuma uEbhedi-meleki endlwini yokumkani, wathetha kukumkani, esithi,

9Nkosi yam kumkani, la madoda enze ububi ngako konke akwenzileyo kuYeremiya umprofeti, lowo amphosayo equleni; unjengobulawa yindlala kuloo ndawo akuyo, ngokuba akusekho sonka kulo mzi.

10Ukumkani wamwisela umthetho uEbhedi-meleki wakwaKushi, wathi, Thabatha apha amadoda amashumi mathathu, umkhuphe uYeremiya umprofeti emhadini, engekafi.

11Wawathabatha ke amadoda lawo uEbhedi-melege, wangena endlwini yokumkani ngaphantsi kwengxowa yobuncwane, wathabatha khona izikhondo zelaphu neempahla ezibolileyo, wazithobela emhadini kuYeremiya ngeentsontelo.

12Wathi uEbhedi-meleki wakwaKushi kuYeremiya, Beka la malaphu amadala namalaphu abolileyo ezingxoweni zakho phantsi kweentambo. Wenjenjalo uYeremiya.

13Bandula ke bamtsala uYeremiya ngeentsontelo baza bamkhupha emhadini, yaye uYeremiya waqhubeka ehlala ephambi kweyadi yentolongo.

14Wathumela ukumkani uZedekiya, wamzisa kuye uYeremiya umprofeti, ekumnyango wesithathu wendlu kaYehova; Wathi ukumkani kuYeremiya, Ndiya kukubuza zwi-nye; ungafihli nto kum.

15Wathi uYeremiya kuZedekiya, Ukuba ndithe ndakuxelela, akuyi kundibulala na? nokuba ndikucebise anindiva na?

16Ukumkani uZedekiya wamfungela uYeremiya ngasese, esithi, uYehova ovayo, owasenzela lo mphefumlo, andiyi kukubulala, andiyi kukunikela esandleni sala madoda angawuboniyo umphefumlo wakho.

17Wathi uYeremiya kuZedekiya, Utsho uYehova, uThixo wemikhosi, uThixo kaSirayeli, ukuthi, Yabona, ndinguYehova, uThixo wemikhosi, Thixo kaSirayeli. Ukuba uthe waphuma waphuma waya kubathetheli bokumkani waseBhabheli, wophila umphefumlo wakho, nalo mzi ungatshiswa ngomlilo; niphile wena nendlu yakho.

18Ke ukuba anithanga niphume niye kubathetheli bokumkani waseBhabheli, lo mzi wonikelwa esandleni samaKaledi, awutshise ngomlilo, ke nina aniyi kusinda esandleni sawo.

19Wandula ke uKumkani uZedekiya wathi kuYeremiya: “Ndiyawoyika amaYuda athe awela kumaKhaledi, hleze andinikele esandleni sawo aze andigculele.

20Wathi uYeremiya, Akayi kukusindisa. Liphulaphuleni ilizwi likaYehova endinixelela lona; uya kuphila kakuhle, uphile umphefumlo wakho.

21Ke ukuba uthe akwavuma ukuphuma, lilo eli ilizwi andibonise lona uYehova:

22Yabona, bonke abafazi abaseleyo endlwini yokumkani wakwaYuda baya kusiwa kwiinkosana zokumkani waseBhabheli, bathi bona, Abahlobo bakho bakuxabele, bakoyisa; zitshone eludakeni iinyawo zenu, zijike.

23Ke ngoko, bonke abafazi bakho nabantwana bakho baya kubanikela kumaKaledi; yaye akuyi kusinda esandleni sawo, yaye ngokuqinisekileyo uya kubanjwa sisandla sokumkani waseBhabhiloni; awutshise lo mzi ngomlilo.

24Wathi uZedekiya kuYeremiya, La mazwi makangaziwa mntu, ukuze ungafi.

25Ukuba ke bathe bakuva abathetheli ukuba ndithethile kuwe, beza kuwe, bathi kuwe, Khawusixelele oko ukuthethileyo kukumkani; musa ukusifihla kuthi, asiyi kukubulala; nento athe wakuxelela yona ukumkani:

26uthi kubo, Ndisicelile isicelo sam kukumkani, ukuze angandivumeli ndibuyele endlwini kaYonatan, ndifele khona.

27Beza kuYeremiya bonke abathetheli, bambuza; wabaxelela ngokwaloo mazwi onke abemwisele umthetho ngawo ukumkani. Bayeka ukuthetha naye; ngokuba loo nto ayiqondwanga.

28uYeremiya wahlala phambi kweyadi yentolongo kwada kwayimini eyathinjwa ngayo iYerusalem, waza waba lapho ekuthinjweni kweYerusalem.
