Jeremiya 18 Umbumbi nemisebenzi Yakhe

¹ Izwi elafika kuJeremiya livela kuJehova, lathi:

² Sukuma, wehlele endlini yombumbi, ngizakutshela khona amazwi ami.

³ Ngase ngehlela endlini yombumbi, bheka, wayesenza umsebenzi emasondweni.

⁴ Isitsha abesenza ngobumba sonakala esandleni sombumbi; ngalokho wabuye wenza enye into njengokubonakala kukuhle emehlweni ombumbi ukulenza.

⁵ Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:

⁶ O ndlu ka-Israyeli, anginakwenza kini njengalo mbumbi na? kusho uJehova. Bhekani, njengobumba esandleni sombumbi, ninjalo nani esandleni sami nina ndlu ka-Israyeli.

⁷ Kungasiphi isikhathi engiyokhuluma ngaso ngesizwe nangombuso ukuba ngiwusiphule futhi ngiwubhidlize futhi ngiwubhubhise;

⁸ Uma leso sizwe engikhulume ngaso siphenduka ebubini baso, ngiyakuzisola ngobubi ebengicabanga ukubenza kuso.

⁹ Kungasiphi isikhathi ngiyokhuluma ngesizwe nangombuso ukuba ngiwakhe, ngiwutshale;

¹⁰ Uma benza okubi emehlweni ami, bengalilaleli izwi lami, ngiyakuzisola ngokuhle ebengithe ngizakuba nomusa ngakho.

¹¹ Hamba manje, ukhulume kubantu bakwaJuda nakubakhileyo eJerusalema, uthi: ‘Usho kanje uJehova; Bhekani, ngiceba okubi ngani, ngiceba icebo ngani; phendukani, kube yilowo nalowo endleleni yakhe embi, nenze izindlela zenu nezenzo zenu zibe zinhle.

¹² Bathi: “Akukho themba, kepha siyakuhamba ngokwamacebo ethu, kube yilowo nalowo enze amacebo enhliziyo yakhe embi.”

¹³ Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Buzani phakathi kwabezizwe ukuthi nizwile okunje: intombi yakwa-Israyeli yenze into enengekayo kakhulu.

¹⁴ Umuntu angalishiya yini iqhwa laseLebanoni elivela edwaleni lasendle? Amanzi abandayo agobhozayo aphuma kwenye indawo ayakushiywa na?

¹⁵ Ngokuba abantu bami bangikhohliwe, bashunqise umusi kwaba yize, babakhubekisa ezindleleni zabo zasendulo, ukuba bahambe ngezindlela ezingalahlwanga;

¹⁶ ukwenza izwe labo libe yihlane nomnyenyezo waphakade; wonke umuntu odlulayo uyoma ngokumangala anikine ikhanda.

¹⁷ Ngiyakubahlakaza njengomoya wasempumalanga phambi kwesitha; ngiyakubukisa umhlane wabo, hhayi ubuso babo ngosuku lobubi babo.

¹⁸ Base bethi: “Wozani sicebe amacebo ngoJeremiya; ngokuba umthetho awuyikubhubha kumpristi, neseluleko sohlakaniphileyo nezwi lomprofethi. Wozani simshaye ngolimi, singanaki amazwi akhe.

¹⁹ Ngilalele, Jehova, ulalele izwi labaphikisana nami.

²⁰ Ingabe ububi buyobuyiselwa ngokuhle? ngoba bembele umphefumulo wami umgodi. Khumbula ukuthi ngema phambi kwakho ukubakhulumela kahle, ngisuse ulaka lwakho kubo.

²¹ Ngakho nikela abantwana babo endlaleni, bachithe igazi labo ngobudlova benkemba; nabafazi babo mabaphangwe abantwana, babe abafelokazi; futhi amadoda abo mawabulawe; izinsizwa zabo mazibulawe ngenkemba empini.

²² Makuzwakale ukukhala ezindlini zabo, lapho uletha iviyo phezu kwabo ngokuzuma; ngoba bemba umgodi wokungibamba, bafihlela inyawo zami imijibila.

²³ Kepha wena Jehova, uyawazi wonke amasu abo okungibulala; ungathetheleli ububi babo, ungasusi isono sabo ebusweni bakho, kodwa mabaphenduke phambi kwakho; yenza kanjalo kubo ngesikhathi solaka lwakho.
