Jeremiya 27 Inkosi yaseBhabhiloni noJeremiya

¹ Ekuqaleni kokubusa kukaJehoyakimi indodana kaJosiya, inkosi yakwaJuda, leli zwi likaJehova lafika kuJeremiya, lithi:

² Usho kanje uJehova kimi, uthi: Zenzele izibopho namajoka, ukubeke entanyeni yakho;

³ uzithume enkosini yakwa-Edomi, nasenkosini yakwaMowabi, nasenkosini yabantwana bakwa-Amoni, nasenkosini yaseTire, nasenkosini yaseSidoni, ngesandla sezithunywa eziza eJerusalema kuSedekiya inkosi yakwaJuda;

⁴ Ubayale ukuthi bathi emakhosini abo: Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli; Uzakusho njalo kubaphathi bakho:

⁵ Mina ngenza umhlaba, umuntu, nesilwane esisemhlabeni, ngamandla ami amakhulu nangengalo yami eyeluliweyo, ngamnika lowo engibona kukuhle kimi.

⁶ Manje senginikele wonke lawa mazwe esandleni sikaNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, inceku yami; nezilwane zasendle ngamnika ukuba zimkhonze.

⁷ Zonke izizwe ziyomkhonza yena, nendodana yakhe, nendodana yendodana yakhe, kuze kufike isikhathi sezwe lakhe, khona-ke izizwe eziningi namakhosi amakhulu ziyokhonza ngaye.

⁸ Kuyakuthi isizwe nombuso ongayikumkhonza yena uNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, ongayikubeka intamo yawo ejokeni lenkosi yaseBabele, leso sizwe ngiyakusihambela, iNkosi. Ngenkemba, nangendlala, nangesifo, ngaze ngabaqeda ngesandla sakhe.

⁹ Ngakho ningalaleli abaprofethi benu, nabahlola imihlola, nabaphuphayo benu, nabathakathi benu, nabathakathi benu abakhuluma kini, bathi: ‘Aniyikukhonza inkosi yaseBabele.

¹⁰ Ngokuba baprofetha amanga kini ukuba nikude nezwe lakini; nokuthi bengiyakunixosha, nibhubhe.

¹¹ Kepha izizwe ezifaka izintamo zazo ngaphansi kwejoka lenkosi yaseBabele ziyikhonze, ngiyakuzithulisa ezweni lazo,” usho uJehova; futhi kumelwe balime futhi bahlale kulo.

¹² Ngasengikhuluma kuZedekhiya inkosi yakoJuda njengawo wonke lamazwi ngathi: Ngenisani izintamo zenu ngaphansi kwejogwe lenkosi yeBhabhiloni, liyikhonze yona labantu bayo lempilo yayo.

¹³ Niyakufelani, wena nabantu bakho, ngenkemba, nangendlala, nangesifo, njengalokho uJehova ekhulumile ngesizwe inkosi yaseBabele engayikusikhonza na?

¹⁴ Ngakho lingawalaleli amazwi abaprofethi abakhuluma kini besithi: Kaliyikukhonza inkosi yeBhabhiloni, ngoba baprofetha amanga kini.

¹⁵ Ngokuba angibathumanga, usho uJehova, kepha baprofetha amanga egameni lami; ukuze nginixoshe, nibhubhe, nina nabaprofethi abaprofetha kini.

¹⁶ Ngakhuluma kubapristi nakubo bonke laba bantu, ngathi: “Usho kanje uJehova; Ningawalaleli amazwi abaprofethi benu abaprofetha kini, bethi: Bhekani, izitsha zendlu kaJehova ziyakubuyiswa masinyane eBabele, ngokuba baprofetha amanga kini.

¹⁷ Ningabalaleli; khonzani inkosi yaseBabele, niphile; kungani lo muzi uzobhujiswa?

¹⁸ Kepha uma bengabaprofethi, uma izwi likaJehova likubo, mabangene manje kuJehova Sebawoti, izitsha ezisele endlini kaJehova nasendlini yenkosi yakwaJuda, futhi eJerusalema, ningayi eBhabhiloni.

¹⁹ Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti mayelana nezinsika, nangokuphathelene nolwandle, nezisekelo, nangensali yezitsha ezisele kulo muzi:

²⁰ angawuthathanga uNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, ekuthumbeni kwakhe uJekoniya, indodana kaJehoyakimi, inkosi yakwaJuda, eJerusalema, emyisa eBabele, nazo zonke izikhulu zakwaJuda naseJerusalema;

²¹ Yebo, usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, mayelana nezitsha ezazisele endlini kaJehova nasendlini yenkosi yakwaJuda naseJerusalema;

²² Ziyakuthunjelwa eBabele, zibe khona kuze kube lusuku engizihambela ngalo,” usho uJehova; ngiyakubakhuphula, ngibabuyisele kule ndawo.
