UJeremiya 25 - Contemporary Zulu Bible 2024

Jeremiya 25INkosi yakhuluma yathi: Phendukani!

1Izwi elafika kuJeremiya ngabantu bonke bakwaJuda ngomnyaka wesine kaJehoyakimi indodana kaJosiya, inkosi yakwaJuda, okungumnyaka wokuqala kaNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele;

2umprofethi uJeremiya akukhuluma kubo bonke abantu bakwaJuda nakubo bonke abakhileyo eJerusalema, wathi:

3Kusukela ngomnyaka weshumi nantathu kaJosiya indodana ka-Amoni, inkosi yakwaJuda, kuze kube namuhla, okungumnyaka wamashumi amabili nantathu, izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, ngakhuluma kini, ngivuka ekuseni, ngalikhuluma; kodwa kalilalelanga.

4UJehova wathuma kini zonke izinceku zakhe, abaprofethi, evuka ekuseni, ebathuma; kodwa anilalelanga, nezindlebe zenu azithambeki ukuzwa.

5Bathi: “Phendukani, kube yilowo nalowo endleleni yenu embi nasebubini bezenzo zenu, nihlale ezweni uJehova aninike lona nawoyihlo kuze kube phakade naphakade.”

6Ningalandeli abanye onkulunkulu ukuba nibakhonze, nibakhonze, ningangidlali ngemisebenzi yezandla zenu; futhi angiyikunenza okubi.

7Kodwa aningilalelanga, usho uJehova; ukuze ningigcone ngemisebenzi yezandla zenu kube ukulimaza kwenu.

8Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: “Ngokuba aniwalalelanga amazwi ami,

9Bhekani, ngiyakuthuma, ngithabathe zonke izizwe zasenyakatho, usho uJehova, noNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, inceku yami, ngizilethe phezu kwaleli zwe, naphezu kwabakhileyo kulo, naphezu kwazo zonke lezi zizwe ezizungezile, Uyobashaya ngesiqalekiso, abenze isimangaliso, inhlekisa, incithakalo kuze kube phakade.

10Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngiyosusa kubo izwi lenjabulo nezwi lenjabulo, izwi lomyeni nezwi likamakoti, nomsindo wetshe lokugaya nokukhanya kwesibani.

11Futhi lonke leli zwe liyoba ihlane kanye nesimangaliso; lezi zizwe ziyakuyikhonza inkosi yaseBabele iminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa.

12“Kuyakuthi lapho iminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa isiphelile, ngiyakuhambela inkosi yaseBabele nalesi sizwe,” usho uJehova, “ngenxa yobubi babo nezwe lamaKaledi, ngilenze incithakalo kuze kube phakade.

13Ngiyakwehlisela phezu kwalelo zwe onke amazwi ami engiwakhulume ngalo, konke okulotshwe kule ncwadi uJeremiya ayiprofetha ngazo zonke izizwe.

14Ngokuba izizwe eziningi namakhosi amakhulu nabo bayakuzikhonza ngabo, ngibabuyisele njengokwemisebenzi yabo nanjengokwemisebenzi yezandla zabo.

15Ngoba nanku okutshiwo nguJehova, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi kimi: Thatha inkezo yewayini yalolulaka esandleni sami futhi kayiphuze zonke izizwe engikuthuma kuzo.

16Ziyophuza, zinyakaze futhi zihlanye ngenxa yenkemba engiyoyithumela phakathi kwazo.

17Ngayithatha indebe esandleni sikaJehova, ngaphuzisa izizwe zonke uJehova angithume kuzo.

18IJerusalema, nemizi yakwaJuda, namakhosi alo, nezikhulu zalo, ukuba bakwenze incithakalo, nesimangaliso, nokunyenyeza, nesiqalekiso; njengoba kunjalo namuhla;

19uFaro, inkosi yaseGibithe, nezinceku zakhe, nezikhulu zakhe, nabantu bakhe bonke;

20nazo zonke izizwe eziyingxubevange, nawo onke amakhosi ezwe lase-Uzi, nawo onke amakhosi ezwe lamaFilisti, ne-Ashikeloni, ne-Asa, ne-Ekroni, nensali yase-Ashidodi;

21o-Edomi noMowabi nabantwana bakwa-Amoni,

22nawo onke amakhosi aseTire, nawo onke amakhosi aseSidoni, namakhosi aseziqhingini ezingaphesheya kolwandle,

23iDedani, neThema, nebhasi, nabo bonke abasemakhoneni akude;

24nawo onke amakhosi ase-Arabiya, nawo onke amakhosi engxubevange ehlala ehlane,

25nawo onke amakhosi aseZimri, nawo onke amakhosi ase-Elamu, nawo onke amakhosi amaMede;

26Futhi wonke amakhosi asenyakatho, kude naseduze, omunye nomunye, futhi yonke imibuso yezwe esemhlabeni, nenkosi yaseSesaki iyophuza emva kwabo.

27Ngakho wothi kubo: Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli; Phuzani, nidakwe, nikhafule niwe, ningabe nisasukuma ngenxa yenkemba engiyoyithumela phakathi kwenu.

28Uma benqaba ukuthatha indebe esandleni sakho ukuba bayiphuze, wothi kubo: Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti; Uzophuza nakanjani.

29Ngokuba bhekani, sengiqala ukwehlisela okubi phezu komuzi obizwa ngegama lami; Aniyikuyeka ukujeziswa, ngokuba ngiyakubiza inkemba phezu kwabo bonke abakhileyo emhlabeni,” usho uJehova Sebawoti.

30Ngakho-ke, profetha wonke lawa mazwi ngokumelene nabo futhi uthi kubo: INkosi iyobhonga iphezulu futhi iphakamise izwi layo isendaweni yayo yokuhlala engcwele; uyakubhonga kakhulu phezu kwendlu yakhe; njengalabo abanyathela amagilebhisi, uyophakamisa isililo ngokumelene nabo bonke abakhileyo emhlabeni.

31Umsindo uyafika emikhawulweni yomhlaba; ngokuba uJehova ubambene nezizwe, uyakulwa nayo yonke inyama; Uzanikela ababi enkembeni, kutsho uJehova.

32Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: “Bheka, okubi kuyakuphuma kwesinye isizwe kuye kwesinye, nesivunguvungu siyavuswa ezindaweni zomhlaba.

33Abanqotshiweyo nguJehova ngalolo suku bayakuba khona kusukela komunye umkhawulo womhlaba kuze kube komunye umkhawulo womhlaba; abayikulilelwa, babuthwe, bangcwatshwe; bazakuba ngumquba emhlabathini.

34Khalani nina belusi, nikhale; nizibhuqe emlotheni, nkosi yomhlambi, ngokuba izinsuku zokuhlaba kwenu sezidlulile nokuhlakazwa; futhi uzowa njengento ethandekayo.

35Abelusi ngeke babe nendlela yokubaleka, nomholi womhlambi ngeke aphunyuke.

36Kuyozwakala izwi lokukhala kwabelusi nokukhala kwezikhulu zomhlambi, ngokuba uJehova ulichithile idlelo labo.

37Izindawo zokuhlala ezinokuthula ziyachithwa ngenxa yokuvutha kolaka lukaJehova.

38Ushiyile indawo yakhe yokucasha njengengonyama, ngokuba izwe labo liyincithakalo ngenxa yolaka lomcindezeli nangenxa yolaka lwakhe.
