Jeremiya 32 UNkulunkulu ukhuthaza u-Israyeli ukuthi uzowabuyisela

¹ Izwi elafika kuJehova kuJeremiya ngomnyaka weshumi kaSedekiya, inkosi yakwaJuda, owawungumnyaka weshumi nesishiyagalombili kaNebukadinesari.

² Ngokuba impi yenkosi yaseBabele yalivimbezela iJerusalema, nomprofethi uJeremiya wayeboshiwe egcekeni letilongo elalisendlini yenkosi yakwaJuda.

³ Ngokuba uZedekiya, inkosi yakwaJuda, wamvalela, wathi: “Uprofethelani uthi: ‘Isho kanje iNkosi, ithi: Bheka, ngiyawunikela lo muzi esandleni senkosi yaseBabele, futhi iyakuwuthatha;

⁴ UZedekiya, inkosi yakwaJuda, ngeke aphunyuke esandleni samaKhaledi, kodwa ngokuqinisekile uyonikelwa esandleni senkosi yaseBhabhiloni futhi akhulume nayo umlomo nomlomo, futhi amehlo ayo ayobona amehlo ayo;

⁵ Futhi iyoyisa uZedekiya eBhabhiloni, futhi uyohlala lapho ngize ngimvakashele, kusho uJehova; noma nilwa namaKaledi, aniyikuphumelela.

⁶ UJeremiya wathi: “Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi:

⁷ Bheka, uHanameli indodana kaShalumi, uyihlokazi, uyakufika kuwe, ethi: ‘Zithengele isiqinti sami sezwe esise-Anathoti, ngokuba unelungelo lokuhlenga ukuba usithenge.

⁸ Khona-ke uHanameli, indodana kamalume, weza kimi egcekeni letilongo njengezwi likaJehova, wathi kimi: “Thenga isiqephu sezwe sami esise-Anathoti esezweni lakwaBhenjamini; Ngelakho ilungelo lefa, nensindiso ingeyakho; uzithengele yona. Ngase ngazi ukuthi kwakuyizwi likaJehova.

⁹ Ngasithenga isiqinti kuHanameli indodana kababekazi owayese-Anathoti, ngamlinganisela imali, amashekeli ayishumi nesikhombisa esiliva.

¹⁰ Ngaloba ubufakazi, ngabunamathelisa, ngathatha ofakazi, ngamkala imali esikalini.

¹¹ Ngase ngathatha incwadi yokuthenga, leyo ebekwe uphawu ngokomthetho nangokwesiko, kanye neyayivuliwe.

¹² Ngamnika uBaruki indodana kaNeriya indodana kaMahaseya ubufakazi bokuthengisa phambi kwamehlo kaHanameli indodana kababekazi naphambi kofakazi ababesayine incwadi yokuthengisa phambi kwabo. Wonke amaJuda ayehlezi enkantolo yetilongo.

¹³ Ngamyala uBharuki phambi kwabo ngathi:

¹⁴ Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: “Thatha lezi zincwadi, incwadi yokuthenga, leyo enamathelisiwe, nale ncwadi evuliwe; wakufaka embizeni yebumba, ukuze ahlale izinsuku eziningi.

¹⁵ Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: “Izindlu namasimu nezivini kuyakubuye kuthathwe njengefa kuleli zwe.

¹⁶ Lapho nginika uBharuki indodana kaNeriya incwadi yokuthenga, ngakhuleka kuJehova ngathi:

¹⁷ O Jehova! bheka, wena wenze izulu nomhlaba ngamandla akho amakhulu nangengalo yakho eyeluliweyo; akukho lutho olunzima kuwe.

¹⁸ Wena uhawukela izinkulungwane, uphindisele ububi bawoyise esifubeni sabantwana babo emva kwabo: oMkhulu, uNkulunkulu onamandla, uJehova Sebawoti, igama lakhe,

¹⁹ Umkhulu ngesiluleko, unamandla emsebenzini, ngokuba amehlo akho avulekile kuzo zonke izindlela zabantwana babantu ukuba unike, kube yilowo nalowo njengezindlela zakhe, njengokwezithelo zezenzo zakhe.

²⁰ Owenza izibonakaliso nezimangaliso ezweni laseGibithe kuze kube namuhla, naku-Israyeli naphakathi kwabanye abantu; futhi wakwenza igama njengoba kunjalo namuhla;

²¹ Wakhipha abantu bakho u-Israyeli ezweni laseGibithe ngezibonakaliso, nangezimangaliso, nangesandla esinamandla, nangengalo eyeluliweyo, nangokwesaba okukhulu;

²² Wabapha leli zwe owathembisa ngalo koyise ngesifungo ukubanika lona, izwe elichichima ubisi nezinyosi;

²³ Bangena, balidla; kepha abalilalelanga izwi lakho, abahambanga emthethweni wakho; abenzanga lutho lwakho konke owabayala ngakho ukuba bakwenze; ngalokho ubehlisele bonke lobu bubi phezu kwabo.

²⁴ Bheka, izintaba zifikile emzini ukuwuthatha; umuzi wanikelwa esandleni samaKaledi alwa nawo, ngenxa yenkemba, nendlala, nesifo; futhi bheka, uyakubona.

²⁵ Wathi kimi: ‘Nkosi Jehova, zithengele isiqephu sezwe ngemali, uthathe ofakazi; ngoba umuzi wanikelwa esandleni samaKaledi.

²⁶ Izwi likaJehova lafika kuJeremiya, lathi:

²⁷ Bheka, nginguJehova, uNkulunkulu wenyama yonke; kukhona okunzima kimi na?

²⁸ Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Bheka, ngiyawunikela lo muzi esandleni samaKaledi nasesandleni sikaNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, futhi uyakuwuthatha.

²⁹ Futhi amaKhaledi alwa nalo muzi azofika awuthungele ngomlilo lo muzi awushise kanye nezindlu abanikela phezu kophahla lwazo impepho kuBhali futhi bathululela abanye onkulunkulu iminikelo yokuphuzwa ukuze bangidlale.

³⁰ Ngokuba abantwana bakwa-Israyeli nabantwana bakwaJuda benzile okubi kuphela phambi kwami kwasebusheni babo, ngokuba abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bangicunule ngomsebenzi wezandla zabo kuphela,” usho uJehova.

³¹ Ngokuba lo muzi uyisisulu kimi intukuthelo yami nokufutheka kwami kusukela osukwini abawakha ngalo kuze kube namuhla; ukuthi ngizoyisusa ebusweni bami,

³² Ngenxa yabo bonke ububi babantwana bakwa-Israyeli nabantwana bakwaJuda abakwenzile ukuze bangicunule, bona, namakhosi abo, nezikhulu zabo, nabapristi babo, nabaprofethi babo, namadoda akwaJuda, nabakhileyo eJerusalema.

³³ Bangifulathela, kabazange baphenduke; nakuba ngabafundisa ngokuvuka ekuseni ngibafundise, nokho abalalelanga ukuze bathole ukulaywa.

³⁴ Kodwa bamisa izinengiso zabo endlini ebizwa ngebizo lami, ukuze bayingcolise.

³⁵ Bakha izindawo eziphakemeyo zikaBali ezisesigodini sendodana kaHinomu ukuba badabulise amadodana abo namadodakazi abo emlilweni ngenxa kaMoloki; engingabayalanga, nokungangenanga enhliziyweni yami ukuthi bayakwenza lesi sinengiso ukuba benze uJuda one.

³⁶ “Manje, usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ngalo muzi enisho ngawo ukuthi: ‘Uyakunikelwa esandleni senkosi yaseBabele ngenkemba, nangendlala, nangesifo;

³⁷ Bheka, ngiyakubabutha emazweni onke engabaxosha kuwo ngentukuthelo yami nangokufutheka kwami nangentukuthelo enkulu; ngiyakubabuyisela kule ndawo, ngibenze bahlale belondekile.

³⁸ Bazakuba ngabantu bami, lami ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo.

³⁹ Ngizabanika inhliziyo eyodwa lendlelanye, ukuze bangesabe kuze kube nininini, kube yinzuzo yabo leyabantwana babo emva kwabo.

⁴⁰ Ngiyakwenza nabo isivumelwano esiphakade, ukuthi angiyikusuka kubo ukuba ngibenzele okuhle; kepha ngiyakufaka ukungesaba ezinhliziyweni zabo, ukuze bangasuki kimi.

⁴¹ Yebo, ngiyakuthokoza ngabo ukuba ngibenzele okuhle, ngibatshale nokutshala kuleli zwe ngayo yonke inhliziyo yami nangawo wonke umphefumulo wami.

⁴² Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi: Njengoba ngehlisele phezu kwalababantu bonke lobububi obukhulu, ngokunjalo ngizakwehlisela phezu kwabo konke okuhle engikukhulume kibo.

⁴³ Kuyakuthengwa amazwe kuleli zwe enisho ngalo ukuthi: Liyihlane elingenamuntu nasilwane; linikelwe esandleni samaKaledi.

⁴⁴ Abantu kumelwe bathenge amasimu ngemali futhi basayine izincwadi futhi babeke uphawu, futhi bathathe ofakazi ezweni lakwaBenjamini nasezindaweni ezizungezile eJerusalema nasemizini yakwaJuda nasemizini yasezintabeni nasemizini yasesigodini nasemadolobheni asesigodini. Imizi yaseningizimu, ngokuba ngiyakushintsha isabelo sayo,” usho uJehova.
