Jeremiya 19 IJerusalema libhidliziwe

¹ Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Hamba uthabathe imbiza yebumba kumbumbi, uthathe emalungeni abantu nakumalunga abapristi;

² Uphume uye esigodini sendodana kaHinomu esisesikhaleni sesango lasempumalanga, umemezele khona amazwi engizowakhuluma kini:

³ uthi: ‘Yizwani izwi likaJehova nina makhosi akwaJuda nani bakhileyo eJerusalema. Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Bheka, ngiyakwehlisela okubi phezu kwale ndawo; ozwayo, izindlebe zakhe ziyonkeneneza.

⁴ Ngokuba bangishiyile, bayenza ibe ngowabo le ndawo, bashunqisa umusi kuyo kwabanye onkulunkulu ababengabazi, bona nawoyise, namakhosi akwaJuda, bagcwalisa le ndawo ngegazi labangenacala;

⁵ Bakha izindawo eziphakemeyo zikaBali ukuze bashise amadodana abo ngomlilo abe ngumnikelo wokushiswa kuBali, engingabayalanga ngakho, engingakukhulumanga, nokungangenanga enhliziyweni yami.

⁶ Ngakho bheka, izinsuku ziyeza, kusho uJehova, lapho le ndawo ingasayikubizwa ngokuthi iThofeti, noma isigodi sendodana kaHinomu, kodwa isiGodi Sokubulala.

⁷ Ngiyakuchitha icebo lakwaJuda nelaseJerusalema kule ndawo; ngiyakubawisa ngenkemba phambi kwezitha zabo nangesandla sabafuna ukuphila kwabo; izidumbu zabo ngiyakuzinika izinyoni zezulu nokwezilwane zasendle zomhlaba zibe ngukudla.

⁸ Ngiyakwenza lo muzi ube yihlane nenhlekisa; wonke umuntu odlulayo uyomangala futhi aklolodelwe ngazo zonke izinhlupho zakhe.

⁹ Futhi ngiyobenza badle inyama yamadodana abo nenyama yamadodakazi abo, futhi bayodla, kube yilowo nalowo inyama yomngane wakhe ekuvinjezelweni nasekucindezelekeni izitha zabo nalabo abafuna ukuphila kwabo eziyobashaya ngakho.

¹⁰ Khona-ke kumelwe uliphule igabha phambi kwamehlo amadoda ahamba nawe,

¹¹ Futhi kumelwe uthi kubo: ‘Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti; Kanjalo ngiyakuphahlaza laba bantu nalo muzi njengokuchoboza umbumbi ongenakuphiliswa futhi; futhi bayolingcwaba eThofeti kuze kungasekho indawo yokungcwaba.

¹² Ngizakwenza njalo kulendawo, kutsho uJehova, lakwabakhileyo kuyo, ngenze lomuzi ube njengeThofeti.

¹³ Izindlu zaseJerusalema nezindlu zamakhosi akwaJuda ziyongcoliswa njengendawo yaseThofeti, ngenxa yazo zonke izindlu abashunqisela phezu kwazo umusi ukhuphukele kulo lonke ibutho lasezulwini futhi bathululele iminikelo yokuphuzwa kwabanye onkulunkulu.

¹⁴ UJeremiya wayesebuya eThofeti, lapho uJehova ayemthume khona ukuba aprofethe; wema egcekeni lendlu kaJehova; wathi kubo bonke abantu:

¹⁵ Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Bheka, ngiyakwehlisela phezu kwalo muzi naphezu kwayo yonke imizi yawo konke okubi engikushilo ngawo, ngokuba benze lukhuni izintamo zabo ukuba bangalaleli amazwi ami.
