Jeremiya 5

¹ Gijimani ezitaladini zaseJerusalema, nibheke, nazi, nifunisise ububanzi bayo, uma ningathola umuntu owenza ukwahlulela, ofuna iqiniso; futhi ngizokuthethelela.

² Noma bengathi: Kuphila kukaJehova! impela bafunga amanga.

³ Jehova, amehlo akho awagxilile eqinisweni na? Wabashaya, kepha abadabukanga; Wabaqeda, kepha bala ukujeziswa; benza ubuso babo baba lukhuni kunedwala; bala ukubuya.

⁴ Ngakho ngathi: Impela bampofu; bayiziwula, ngokuba abayazi indlela kaJehova nomthetho kaNkulunkulu wabo.

⁵ Ngiyakuziyisa kwabakhulu, ngikhulume nabo; ngokuba babeyazi indlela kaJehova nomthetho kaNkulunkulu wabo; kodwa balaphula ngokupheleleyo ijoka futhi bagqabula izibopho.

⁶ Ngakho ingonyama yasehlathini iyababulala, impisi yakusihlwa iyakubaphanga; ingwe iyakulinda imizi yabo, bonke abaphuma khona badwengulwe, ngokuba iziphambeko zabo nezinengiso zabo ziningi iyanda.

⁷ Ngizokuthethelela kanjani kulokhu? abantwana bakho bangishiyile, bafunga abangesibo onkulunkulu;

⁸ Babenjengamahhashi akhuluphalisiweyo ekuseni; kwaba yilowo nalowo waxosha umkamakhelwane wakhe.

⁹ Kangiyikujezisa ngenxa yalezi zinto? usho uJehova, kepha umphefumulo wami awuyikuziphindiselela esizweni esinjengalesi na?

¹⁰ Khuphukelani ezindongeni zalo nichithe; kodwa akupheli; susa izinhlangothi zalo; ngoba abasibo abakaJehova.

¹¹ Ngokuba indlu ka-Israyeli nendlu kaJuda bangikhohlisile kakhulu,” usho uJehova.

¹² Baphika iNkosi, bathi: “Akusiyo; futhi akukho okubi okuyosehlela; futhi ngeke sibone inkemba noma indlala.

¹³ Abaprofethi bayakuba ngumoya, nezwi alikho kubo; kuyakwenziwa kanjalo kubo.

¹⁴ Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu Sebawoti, uthi: “Ngokuba nikhuluma leli zwi, bhekani, ngiyakwenza amazwi ami abe umlilo emlonyeni wakho, nalaba bantu babe yizinkuni, ubaqede.

¹⁵ Bhekani, ngiyakwehlisela phezu kwenu isizwe esivela kude nina ndlu ka-Israyeli,” usho uJehova; yisizwe esilamandla, yisizwe sasendulo, yisizwe ulimi lwaso ongalwaziyo njalo ongazwisisiyo ukuthi luthini.

¹⁶ Umgodla wabo unjengethuna elivulekile, bonke bangamadoda anamandla.

¹⁷ Ziyakudla isivuno sakho nesinkwa sakho, amadodana akho namadodakazi akho azokudla; ziyakudla izimvu zakho nezinkomo zakho; bayakudla izivini zenu nemikhiwane yenu; bayakuyenza ibe mpofu imizi yakho ebiyelweyo abathembele kuyo ngenkemba.

¹⁸ Kodwa ngalezonsuku, kutsho uJehova, kangiyikuqeda ngani.

¹⁹ Uma nithi: ‘UJehova uNkulunkulu wethu wenzelani kithi zonke lezi zinto na? uyakuthi kubo: Njengalokho ningishiyile, nakhonza onkulunkulu bezizweni ezweni lakini, niyakukhonza abezizwe ezweni elingelona elenu.

²⁰ Kumemezeleni endlini kaJakobe, nikwenze kwaziwe kwaJuda, nithi:

²¹ Yizwani lokhu manje nina bantu abayiziwula eningenakuqonda; abanamehlo kodwa ababoni; abanezindlebe, bangezwa;

²² Aningesabi na? usho uJehova, uthi: “Aniyikuthuthumela phambi kwami, mina engabeka isihlabathi emkhawulweni wolwandle ngomyalo waphakade ukuba lungedlule kuwo; uma zibhonga, azinakudlula na?

²³ Kodwa laba bantu banenhliziyo ehlubukayo nehlubukayo; bavuke bahambe.

²⁴ Futhi abasho enhliziyweni yabo ukuthi: “Masesabe uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu onisa imvula, eyokuqala neyokugcina ngesikhathi sayo; Usigcinela amasonto amisiwe okuvuna.

²⁵ Ububi benu bubuyisile lezi zinto, nezono zenu zinigodlile okuhle.

²⁶ Ngokuba phakathi kwabantu bami kufunyanwa ababi; bacupha ugibe, babambe abantu.

²⁷ Njengendlwana yezinyoni igcwele izinyoni, kanjalo izindlu zabo zigcwele inkohliso; ngakho-ke baba bakhulu futhi baceba.

²⁸ Bakhuluphele, bayakhazimula, yebo, badlula imisebenzi yababi; futhi ilungelo labampofu abalahluleli.

²⁹ Angiyikujezisa ngenxa yalezi zinto na? usho uJehova, uthi: “Umphefumulo wami awuyikuziphindiselela esizweni esinjengalesi na?

³⁰ Isimangaliso nesinengiso senziwe ezweni;

³¹ Abaprofethi baprofetha amanga, nabapristi babusa ngezandla zabo; futhi abantu bami bangathanda kanjalo; futhi uyokwenzani ekupheleni kwakho?
