UJeremiya 21:2 - IsiZulu 2020 “Ake usibuzele kuSimakade, ngokuba uNebukhadinezari, inkosi yaseBhabhele, usihlasele. Mhlawumbe uSimakade angasenzela njengakuzo zonke izimangaliso zakhe ukuba akhuphuke, ayeke ukumelana nathi.” IBHAYIBHELI ELINGCWELE “Ake usibuzele kuJehova, ngokuba uNebukadinesari inkosi yaseBabele usihlasele; mhlawumbe uJehova angenza kithi njengazo zonke izimangaliso zakhe ukuba akhuphuke, asuke kithi.” Contemporary Zulu Bible 2024 Siceleleni uJehova; ngokuba uNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, uyalwa nathi; uma uJehova esenza kithi njengezimangaliso zakhe zonke, ukuze asuke kithi. |
Kepha ingelosi kaSimakade yathi ku-Eliya waseThishibhi: “Suka, wenyuke uhlangabeze izithunywa zenkosi yaseSamariya, uthi kuzo: ‘Kungenxa yokuba kungekho Nkulunkulu yini kwa-Israyeli ukuba nihambe niyohlola kuBhali Zebhubhi, unkulunkulu wase-Ekhroni na?’ ”
Inkosi yase-Asiriya yalanda abantu eBhabhele, eKhutha, e-Ava, eHamathi, naseSafarivayimi, yabahlalisa emizini eSamariya endaweni yabakwa-Israyeli, balidla iSamariya, bahlala emizini yakhona.
USimakade wathumela ingelosi eyabhubhisa wonke amaqhawe anamandla, nabaholi, nezinduna enkanjini yenkosi yase-Asiriya. Yabuyela ezweni layo ijabhile. Isingenile endlini kankulunkulu wayo, abozalo lwayo bayibulala ngenkemba khona lapho.
Khulekani kuSimakade; sekwanele lokhu kuduma kukaNkulunkulu okungaka nesichotho. Ngizonivumela nihambe, ningabe nisachitha sikhathi lapha.”
Ngokuba bazibiza ngomuzi ongcwele, bencika kuNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, nguSimakade Wamabandla, igama lakhe.
USimakade, wathi: “Ngiyakukukhulula kube kuhle; impela isitha ngisenze sikunxuse ngesikhathi esibi nangesikhathi sokuhlupheka.
“Awu, Nkosi Simakade, bheka, nguWena owenza amazulu nomhlaba ngamandla akho amakhulu nangezikhwepha zakho, akukho lutho olulukhuni kuwe.
“Bheka, kwenziwe izindunduma zokuhlasela ukuze kudliwe umuzi; nalo muzi ubhekene nenkemba, nendlala nobhubhane, unikelwe esandleni samaKhaledi alwa nawo. Owakusho sekwenzekile, njengoba uzibonela nje.
Izwi elafika kuJeremiya livela kuSimakade, ngesikhathi uNebukhadinezari, inkosi yaseBhabhele, nempi yakhe yonke, nemibuso yonke yomhlaba engaphansi kwesandla sakhe, nezizwe zonke, zilwa neJerusalema nemizana yonke elizungezile, lathi:
UZedekiya, inkosi, wathumela ukuba alandwe; inkosi yambuza ngasese esigodlweni sayo, yathi: “Likhona yini izwi elivela kuSimakade na?” UJeremiya, wathi: “Likhona.” Wathi futhi: “Uyakunikelwa esandleni senkosi yaseBhabhele.”
UZedekiya, inkosi, wathumela uJehukhali, indodana kaShelemiya, noZefaniya, indodana kaMahaseya, umphristi, kumphrofethi uJeremiya, wathi: “Ake usikhulekele kuSimakade uNkulunkulu wethu.”
“Usho kanje uSimakade uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: niyakusho kanje enkosini yakwaJuda enithumileyo ukuba nizobuza kimi, nithi: ‘Uyabona-ke, impi kaFaro ephume ukuzonisiza izophenduka ibuyele ezweni lakubo eGibhithe.
Izinhlekelele ziyolandelana, umbiko ulandele umbiko. Bayakufuna umbono kumphrofethi, kepha umthetho uyakulahleka kumphristi, neseluleko emalungeni.
Abakwa-Israyeli babuza kuSimakade ngokuba umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu wawulapho ngalezo zinsuku,
Babuye babuza kuSimakade ukuthi: “Usazofika yini lowo muntu na?” USimakade waphendula wathi: “Bheka, ukhona, ucashe empahleni.”
USamuweli wathi kuSawule: “Ungiphazamiselani ngokuthi ungenyuse na?” USawule waphendula wathi: “Ngihlupheke kakhulu, ngoba amaFilisti alwa nami; uNkulunkulu ungishiyile, akasangiphenduli ngabaphrofethi noma ngamaphupho, yingakho ngikubizile ukuze ungazise ukuthi kumele ngenzenjani.”
USawule wabuza kuSimakade, kodwa uSimakade akamphendulanga ngamaphupho, nge-Urimi noma nangabaphrofethi.
