Jeremiya 17

¹ Isono sikaJuda silotshwe ngosiba lwensimbi langesihloko sedayimani; kuqoshwe etafuleni lezinhliziyo zabo nasezimpondweni zama-altare enu;

² Lapho abantwana babo bekhumbula ama-altare abo nezixuku zabo ngasemithini eluhlaza emagqumeni aphakeme.

³ Wena ntaba yami yasendle, ngiyakunikela impahla yakho nengcebo yakho yonke kube yimpango, nezindawo zakho eziphakemeyo ukuba zone kuzo zonke imikhawulo yakho.

⁴ Nani-ke niyakuyeka efeni lenu engininike lona; futhi ngiyokwenza ukhonze izitha zakho ezweni ongalazi; ngokuba niphembe umlilo entukuthelweni yami ovutha kuze kube phakade.

⁵ Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Uqalekisiwe umuntu othemba kumuntu, enze inyama ibe yingalo yakhe, onhliziyo yakhe ifulathele uJehova.

⁶ Ngokuba uyakuba njengomhlengi ogwadule, angaboni lapho kufika okuhle; kodwa izahlala ezindaweni ezomileyo enkangala, elizweni likasawoti elingelamuntu.

⁷ Ubusisiwe umuntu othemba kuJehova nothemba lakhe linguJehova.

⁸ Ngokuba uyakuba njengomuthi otshalwe ngasemanzini, onabe izimpande zawo ngasemfuleni, angaboni lapho kufika ukushisa, kepha amaqabunga awo ayakuba luhlaza; futhi ayiyikuyeka ngonyaka wesomiso, futhi ayiyikuyeka ukuthela.

⁹ Inhliziyo iyakhohlisa ngaphezu kwakho konke, nenhliziyo yonakele; ngubani ongakwazi?

¹⁰ Mina, Jehova, ngihlola inhliziyo, ngivivinya izinso, ukuze nginike, kube yilowo nalowo njengezindlela zakhe, njengokwezithelo zezenzo zakhe.

¹¹ Njengentende ehlezi phezu kwamaqanda, ingawachanyuseli; kanjalo ozuza ingcebo kungengenxa yokulunga uyakuyishiya phakathi kwezinsuku zakhe, abe yisiwula ekugcineni.

¹² Isihlalo sobukhosi esiphakemeyo kwasekuqaleni siyindawo yendlu yethu engcwele.

¹³ Jehova, themba lika-Israyeli, bonke abakushiyayo bayakuba namahloni, nabasuka kimi bayakulotshwa emhlabeni, ngokuba beshiyile uJehova, umthombo wamanzi aphilayo.

¹⁴ Ngiphulukise, Jehova, ngiyakuphiliswa; ngisindise, ngiyakusindiswa, ngokuba wena uludumo lwami.

¹⁵ Bheka, bathi kimi: Liphi izwi likaJehova na? makuze manje.

¹⁶ Mina-ke, angijahanga ukuba ngumalusi ukuba ngikulandele; uyazi: okwadlula izindebe zami kwakuphambi kwakho.

¹⁷ Ungabi yingebhe kimi; uyithemba lami ngosuku lobubi.

¹⁸ Mabajabhe abangizingelayo, kepha mina mangingajabhi; mabeme bethukile, kepha mina mangingathuki; wehlisele phezu kwabo usuku olubi, ubabhubhise ngokuchitha kabili.

¹⁹ Wathi kimi uJehova: “Hamba, ume esangweni labantwana babantu, angena ngalo amakhosi akwaJuda, aphuma ngalo, nasemasangweni onke aseJerusalema;

²⁰ uthi kubo: ‘Yizwani izwi likaJehova nina makhosi akwaJuda noJuda wonke nani nonke enakhileyo eJerusalema eningena ngalawa masango.

²¹ Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Ziqapheleni nina, ningathwali mthwalo ngosuku lwesabatha, ningawungenisi ngamasango aseJerusalema;

²² Ngosuku lwesabatha ningaphumi mthwalo ezindlini zenu, ningasebenzi msebenzi, kepha ningcwelise usuku lwesabatha, njengalokho ngabayala oyihlo.

²³ Kodwa kabalalelanga, kababekanga indlebe yabo, kodwa bayenza lukhuni intamo yabo ukuze bangezwa loba bemukele ukulaywa.

²⁴ “ ‘Uma ningilalela nokungilalela,’ usho uJehova, “ningangenisi mthwalo ngamasango alo muzi ngosuku lwesabatha, kodwa ningcwelise usuku lwesabatha, ningenzi msebenzi ngalo;

²⁵ Kuyakungena emasangweni alo muzi amakhosi nezikhulu ezihlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavide ezigibela izinqola namahhashi, zona nezikhulu zazo, abantu bakwaJuda nabakhileyo eJerusalema; futhi lomuzi uyohlala kuze kube phakade.

²⁶ Bayophuma emizini yakwaJuda nasezindaweni ezizungeze iJerusalema nasezweni lakwaBenjamini nasethafeni nasezintabeni naseningizimu, balethe iminikelo yokushiswa nemihlatshelo neminikelo yempuphu nempepho nemihlatshelo yokudumisa endlini kaJehova.

²⁷ Kepha uma ningangilaleli ukungcwelisa usuku lwesabatha, ningathwali mthwalo, ningene ngamasango aseJerusalema ngosuku lwesabatha; ngiyakuphemba umlilo emasangweni alo, uqede izindlu zamakhosi zaseJerusalema, ungacimi.
