Jeremiya 2 UJehova ukhuluma no-Israyeli

¹ Futhi izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:

² Hamba umemeze ezindlebeni zeJerusalema uthi: Usho kanje uJehova; Ngicabanga ngawe, umusa wobusha bakho, uthando lomshado wakho, lapho ungilandela ogwadule, ezweni elingatshalwanga.

³ U-Israyeli wayengcwele kuJehova nolibo lwezithelo zakhe; bonke abasidlayo bayokhubeka; okubi kuyakubehlela, usho uJehova.

⁴ Yizwani izwi likaJehova nina ndlu kaJakobe, zizukulwane zonke zendlu ka-Israyeli.

⁵ Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Buni ububi oyihlo ababufumana kimi, baze basuka kude nami, balandela okuyize, baba yize, na?

⁶ Futhi abashongo ukuthi: ‘Uphi uJehova owasikhuphula ezweni laseGibithe, wasihola ehlane, ezweni eliyihlane nelemigodi, ezweni elomileyo nelethunzi lokufa, ezweni elomileyo nelethunzi lokufa. Lapho kungazange kudlule muntu khona nalapho kungazange kuhlale muntu khona?

⁷ “Nganingenisa ezweni elinala, ukuba nidle izithelo zalo nokuhle kwalo; kepha lapho ningena, nalingcolisa izwe lami, nenza ifa lami laba yisinengiso.

⁸ Abapristi abashongo ukuthi: “Uphi uJehova na?” nabaphethe umthetho babengazi Mina;

⁹ Ngalokho ngisakhuluma kini, usho uJehova, ngilwe nabantwana babantwana benu.

¹⁰ Ngokuba dabulani eziqhingini zaseKitimi, nibone; nithumele eKedari, nilalelisise, nibone ukuthi ikhona yini into enjalo;

¹¹ Isizwe sishintshile yini onkulunkulu baso, abangebona onkulunkulu na? kepha abantu bami banana udumo lwabo ngalokho okungasizi ngalutho.

¹² Mangalani, nina mazulu, ngalokho, nesabe kakhulu, nifutheke kakhulu,” usho uJehova.

¹³ Ngokuba abantu bami benzile okubi okubili; bangishiyile mina, mthombo wamanzi aphilayo, bazimbele imithombo, imithombo eqhekekileyo, engagcini manzi.

¹⁴ U-Israyeli uyinceku na? uyisigqila sokuzalwa ekhaya na? woniwe ngani?

¹⁵ Amabhongo ezingonyama abhonga, amemeza phezu kwakhe, enza izwe lakhe laba incithakalo; imizi yakhe yashiswa yangabi nabahlali.

¹⁶ Abantwana baseNofi naseThahapanesi nabo baphula ukhakhayi lwekhanda lakho.

¹⁷ Awuzenzelanga lokho ngokushiya uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho lapho ekuhola endleleni na?

¹⁸ Manje, unani endleleni yaseGibithe ukuba niphuze amanzi aseSihori na? unani endleleni yase-Asiriya ukuba niphuze amanzi omfula na?

¹⁹ Ububi bakho buyakusola, nezizondo zakho ziyakusola; yazi, ubone ukuthi kuyinto embi nebabayo ukuthi umshiyile uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho nokuthi ukwesaba kwami akukho kuwe, isho iNkosi uJehova Sebawoti.

²⁰ Ngokuba ngaphulile ijoka lakho endulo, ngaphula izibopho zakho; wena wathi: Kangiyikweqa; lapho nizulazula niphinga kuwo wonke amagquma aphakeme naphansi kwayo yonke imithi eluhlaza.

²¹ Kodwa mina ngikutshale umvini omuhle, wonke uyimbewu yeqiniso; pho, ungiphendule kanjani ngibe yisithombo esibolile somvini wezizweni na?

²² Ngokuba noma ugeza ngodaka, uzithathele insipho eningi, nokho ububi bakho buphambi kwami, isho iNkosi uJehova.

²³ Ungasho kanjani ukuthi: ‘Angingcoliswanga, angibalandelanga oBali? bheka indlela yakho esigodini, yazi okwenzileyo; wena uyinkana yenkazana enejubane, ehamba ngezindlela zayo;

²⁴ imbongolo yasendle ejwayele ihlane, ehogela umoya ngokuthanda kwayo; ngethuba lakhe ngubani ongamxosha? bonke abamfunayo abayikukhathala; ngenyanga yalo bayakulifumana.

²⁵ Gcina izinyawo zakho zingagqoki, nomphimbo wakho ekomeni; kodwa wena wathi: Kakukho ithemba. Ngoba ngangibathanda abezizweni, ngabalandela.

²⁶ Njengalokhu isela lijabha lapho lifunyanwa, kanjalo indlu yakwa-Israyeli inamahloni; bona, namakhosi abo, nezikhulu zabo, nabapristi babo, nabaprofethi babo,

²⁷ lithi esizweni: Wena ungubaba; nasetsheni: Nangikhipha, ngokuba bangifulathele, abangibhekanga ubuso babo; kodwa ngesikhathi sokuhlupheka kwabo bazakuthi: Sukuma usisindise.

²⁸ Baphi onkulunkulu bakho ozenzele bona na? mabasukume uma bengakusindisa ngesikhathi sokuhlupheka kwakho; ngoba njengomumo wemizi yakho banjalo onkulunkulu bakho, Juda!

²⁹ Niyakungimangalelani na? nonke niphambukile kimi,” usho uJehova.

³⁰ Ngibashaye ngeze abantwana benu; abatholanga ukusolwa; inkemba yenu idlile abaprofethi benu njengengonyama ephangayo.

³¹ O sizukulwane, bonani izwi likaJehova. Ngangiyihlane ku-Israyeli na? izwe lobumnyama? Ngalokho abantu bami bathi: “Singamakhosi; asisayikuza kini na?

³² Intombi ingakhohlwa yini izivunulo zayo, nomakoti ingubo yakhe, na? Nokho abantu bami bangikhohliwe izinsuku ezingenakubalwa.

³³ Kungani uzinqumela ekufuneni uthando? ngalokho wafundisa ababi izindlela zakho.

³⁴ Esigqebheni sakho kwafunyanwa igazi lemiphefumulo yabampofu abangenacala;

³⁵ Kodwa uthi: Ngoba ngimsulwa, isibili ulaka lwakhe luzasuka kimi. Bheka, ngiyakulwa nawe, ngokuba uthi: Angonanga.

³⁶ Kungani uzimisele kangaka ukuguqula izindlela zakho? uyakuba namahloni ngeGibithe, njengalokho waba namahloni nge-Asiriya.

³⁷ Yebo, kumelwe uphume kuye, nezandla zakho zisekhanda lakho, ngoba uJehova ulahlile ithemba lakho, futhi ngeke uphumelele kukho.
