Jeremiya 10 Ukukhonza izithombe nendlu ka-Israyeli

¹ Zwanini izwi uJehova alikhuluma kini nina ndlu ka-Israyeli!

² Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Ningafundi indlela yabezizwe, ningesabi izibonakaliso zezulu; ngoba abezizwe bayabesaba.

³ Ngokuba imikhuba yabantu iyize, ngokuba umuntu ugawula umuthi ehlathini, umsebenzi wezandla zesisebenzi ngembazo.

⁴ Balihlobisa ngesiliva nangegolide; bayibethela ngezipikili nangezando, ukuze inganyakazi.

⁵ Baqotho njengesundu, kodwa abakhulumi; kumele zithwalwe ngoba azikwazi ukuhamba. Ningabesabi; ngokuba abakwazi ukwenza okubi, akukho kubo ukwenza okuhle.

⁶ Ngoba akakho ofana nawe, Jehova; Wena umkhulu, futhi iGama lakho likhulu ngamandla.

⁷ Ngubani ongekwesabe, Nkosi yezizwe? ngoba ingeyakho, ngoba phakathi kwabo bonke abahlakaniphileyo bezizwe lemibuso yabo yonke kakho onjengawe.

⁸ Kepha bayiziphukuphuku neziwula; imfuyo iyimfundiso eyize.

⁹ Isiliva elinezingcwephe lilethwa livela eTharishishi, negolide lase-Ufazi, umsebenzi wengcweti nowezandla zomkhandi; izingubo zabo ziluhlaza nokububende; konke kungumsebenzi wamadoda anobuqili.

¹⁰ Kepha uJehova unguNkulunkulu weqiniso, unguNkulunkulu ophilayo, neNkosi yaphakade; ngentukuthelo yakhe umhlaba uyazamazama, nezizwe aziyikuthwala ukufutheka kwakhe.

¹¹ Ngakho kumelwe uthi kubo: Onkulunkulu abangalenzanga izulu nomhlaba, bayoshabalala emhlabeni nangaphansi kwaleli zulu.

¹² Wenza umhlaba ngamandla akhe, walimisa izwe ngokuhlakanipha kwakhe, waleneka izulu ngecebo lakhe.

¹³ Lapho ezwakalisa izwi lakhe, kukhona inqwaba yamanzi ezulwini, futhi ubangela ukuba inkungu ikhuphuke emikhawulweni yomhlaba; wenza umbani nemvula, akhiphe umoya engcebweni yakhe.

¹⁴ Wonke umuntu unesibindi ekwazini kwakhe; bonke abakhandi bajabhiswa ngesithombe esibaziweyo, ngokuba izithombe zabo ezibunjiweyo zingamanga, nomoya awukho kuzo.

¹⁵ Ziyize nomsebenzi wenkohliso; ngesikhathi sokuhanjelwa kwazo ziyakubhubha.

¹⁶ Oyisabelo sikaJakobe akafani nazo, ngokuba unguMbumbi wazo zonke izinto; u-Israyeli uyinduku yefa lakhe; nguJehova Sebawoti igama lakhe.

¹⁷ Qoqa impahla yakho elizweni, wena owakhileyo ezinqabeni!

¹⁸ Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Bheka, ngiyakuxosha abakhileyo ezweni ngalesi sikhathi, ngibacindezele ukuba bakuthole kunjalo.

¹⁹ Maye kimi ngenxa yobuhlungu bami! isilonda sami sibuhlungu, kepha ngathi: Impela buhlungu, ngimelwe ukubuthwala.

²⁰ Itabernakele lami lichithiwe, nezintambo zami zonke zephuliwe; abantwana bami baphumile kimi, futhi abasekho; akasekho ongagxumeka itende lami, amise amakhethini ami.

²¹ Ngokuba abelusi baba yiziwula, abamfunanga uJehova; ngalokho abayikuphumelela, nezimvu zabo zonke ziyakuhlakazwa.

²² Bhekani, kuyeza umsindo wesithelo, nesiyaluyalu esikhulu esivela ezweni lasenyakatho, ukwenza imizi yakwaJuda ibe yihlane nomhume wezimpungushe.

²³ Ngiyazi, Jehova, ukuthi indlela yomuntu ayikuye uqobo; akukumuntu ukuba aqondise izinyathelo zakhe.

²⁴ Ngiqondise, Jehova, kepha ngokwahlulela; kungabi ngentukuthelo yakho, funa ungibhubhise.

²⁵ Thela ukufutheka kwakho phezu kwezizwe ongazaziyo, nasezizukulwaneni ezingalibizi igama lakho; ngokuba bamdlile uJakobe, bamshwabadela, bamshwabadela, benza ikhaya lakhe laba yihlane.
