Jeremiya 13

¹ Usho kanje uJehova kimi, uthi: “Hamba uzithathele ibhande lelineni, ulibophe okhalweni lwakho, ungalifaki emanzini.

² Ngase ngathola ibhande njengezwi likaJehova ngalifaka okhalweni lwami.

³ Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi ngokwesibili, lathi:

⁴ Thatha ibhande olalo elisezinkalweni zakho, usuke uye e-Ewufrathe, ulifihle khona emgodini wedwala.

⁵ Ngakho ngaya ngalifihla ngasemfuleni i-Ewufrathe, njengoba nje uJehova wayengiyalile.

⁶ Kwathi emva kwezinsuku eziningi uJehova wathi kimi: “Suka uye e-Ewufrathe, ulithathe lapho ibhande engakuyala ukuba ulifihle khona.

⁷ Ngase ngiya e-Ewufrathe, ngemba, ngalithatha ibhande endaweni engangilifihle kuyo; bheka, ibhande lalibhidlikile, lalingaselusizo lwalutho.

⁸ Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:

⁹ Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Kanjalo ngiyakuqeda ukuzidla kukaJuda nokuziqhenya okukhulu kweJerusalema.

¹⁰ Laba bantu ababi abala ukulalela amazwi ami, abahamba ngobulukhuni benhliziyo yabo, balandele abanye onkulunkulu ukuba babakhonze, babakhulekele, bayakuba njengaleli bhande eliyize.

¹¹ Ngokuba njengebhande linamathela okhalweni lwendoda, kanjalo ngibophele kimi yonke indlu yakwa-Israyeli nayo yonke indlu kaJuda,” usho uJehova; ukuze babe ngabantu kimi, negama, nodumo, nodumo, kepha abalalelanga.

¹² Ngakho-ke kumelwe ukhulume leli zwi kubo; Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Zonke izimbiza ziyakugcwaliswa ngewayini, bathi kuwe: Asazi yini ukuthi zonke izimbiza ziyakugcwaliswa ngewayini na?

¹³ Uzakuthi kibo: Itsho njalo i Nkosi: Khangela, ngizagcwalisa ngokudakwa bonke abakhileyo kulelilizwe, amakhosi ahlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavida, labapristi, labaprofethi, labo bonke abakhileyo eJerusalema.

¹⁴ Ngiyakubaphahlazela omunye komunye, oyise namadodana kanyekanye, usho uJehova;

¹⁵ Lalelani nilalele; ningazikhukhumezi, ngokuba uJehova ukhulumile.

¹⁶ Mnikeni inkazimulo uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, ngaphambi kokuba enze ubumnyama, futhi ngaphambi kokuba izinyawo zenu zikhubeke ezintabeni zobumnyama, futhi lapho nifuna ukukhanya, yena akuphendule ithunzi lokufa akwenze kube mnyama.

¹⁷ Kodwa uma ningakuzwa, umphefumulo wami uyokhala ekusithekeni ngenxa yokuzidla kwenu; iso lami liyokhala kamunyu, lehle izinyembezi, ngokuba umhlambi kaJehova uthunjiwe.

¹⁸ Yisho enkosini nasendlovukazini ukuthi: ‘Zithobeni, nihlale phansi, ngokuba ababusi benu bayakwehla, umqhele wodumo lwenu.

¹⁹ Imizi yaseningizimu iyovalwa, kungabikho oyivulayo; UJuda wonke uyakuthunjwa, ayiswe ekuthunjweni.

²⁰ Phakamisa amehlo akho, ubheke abavela enyakatho: iphi imihlambi owaphiwa yona, umhlambi wakho omuhle?

²¹ Uzakuthini nxa ekujezisa? ngokuba nibafundisile ukuba babe ngababusi nababusi phezu kwenu;

²² Futhi uma uthi enhliziyweni yakho: Kungani lezi zinto zingehlela na? Ngokuba ubukhulu bobubi bakho izambatho zakho zambuliwe, nezithende zakho zambulwe.

²³ UmKushe angasiguqula yini isikhumba sakhe, nengwe amabala ayo, na? khona-ke ningase nenze okuhle nina enijwayele ukwenza okubi.

²⁴ Ngakho ngiyobahlakaza njengamabibi adlula umoya ogwadule.

²⁵ Lokhu kuyinkatho yenu, isabelo senu esilinganiselwe esivela kimi, usho uJehova; ngoba ningikhohliwe Mina, lethemba amanga.

²⁶ Ngakho ngizakwembula izembatho zakho ebusweni bakho, ukuze kubonakale ihlazo lakho.

²⁷ Ngikubonile ukuphinga kwakho ngakuhlupha, isenzo esiyihlazo sobufebe bakho nezinengiso zakho emagqumeni asendle. Maye kuwe Jerusalema! aniyikuhlanjululwa na? kuyoke kube nini?
