Jeremiya 6

¹ Nina bantwana bakwaBenjamini, hlanganani nibalekele eJerusalema, nibethe icilongo eThekhowa, nimise isibonakaliso somlilo eBeti Hakeremi, ngokuba ububi buvela enyakatho nokubhubhisa okukhulu.

² Ngafanisa indodakazi yaseSiyoni nowesifazane omuhle nonomusa.

³ Abelusi nemihlambi yabo bayakuza kuyo; kumelwe bagxumeke amatende abo nxazonke zakhe; kufanele bondle yilowo nalowo endaweni yakhe.

⁴ Zilungiseleni impi; vuka sikhuphuke ntambama. Maye kithi! ngoba usuku luyedlula, ngoba amathunzi okuhlwa ayelulekile.

⁵ Vukani, singene ebusuku, sichithe izindlu zalo zamakhosi.

⁶ Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: “Gawulani imithi, nibuthele iJerusalema intaba; lonke liyincindezelo phakathi kwalo.

⁷ Njengomthombo uthulula amanzi awo, kanjalo uyathulula ububi bawo; ubudlova nempango kuzwakala kulo; phambi kwami kukhona usizi namanxeba njalo.

⁸ Mawufundiswe, Jerusalema, ukuze umphefumulo wami ungasuki kuwe; ukuze ngingakwenzi incithakalo, izwe elingahlalwa muntu.

⁹ Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: ‘Bayakuyisusa nokususa insali yakwa-Israyeli njengomvini; buyisela isandla sakho emuva njengomvuni wamagilebhisi ezitsheni.

¹⁰ Ngizokhuluma nobani ngibaxwayise ukuze bezwe? bheka, izindlebe zabo azisokile, futhi abezwa; bheka, izwi likaJehova liyihlazo kubo; kabathokozi ngakho.

¹¹ Ngalokho ngigcwele ukufutheka kukaJehova; ngikhathele ukuzibamba; ngiyakuthululela phezu kwabantwana bangaphandle naphezu kwenhlangano yezinsizwa kanyekanye;

¹² Futhi izindlu zabo ziyodluliselwa kwabanye, kanye namasimu abo nabafazi kanyekanye; ngokuba ngiyakwelulela isandla sami kwabakhileyo ezweni,” usho uJehova.

¹³ Ngoba kusukela komncinyane kuya komkhulu wabo wonke uzinikele ekuhambweni; kusukela kumprofethi kuye kumpristi bonke benza amanga.

¹⁴ Futhi bapholisa kancane isilonda sendodakazi yabantu bami ngokuthi: Ukuthula, ukuthula! lapho kungekho ukuthula.

¹⁵ Baba namahloni lapho benza izinengiso na? yebo, ababanga namahloni nakancane futhi bengenakuba namahloni; ngakho-ke bayakuwa phakathi kwalabo abawayo; ngesikhathi engibahambela ngaso, bayakuwa, usho uJehova.

¹⁶ Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Yimani ezindleleni, nibuke, nibuze ngezindlela zakudala, iphi indlela enhle, nihambe ngayo, niyakufumana ukuphumula kwemiphefumulo yenu. Kodwa bathi: Asiyikuhamba ngayo.

¹⁷ Ngabeka abalindi phezu kwenu, ngathi: Lalelani ukukhala kwecilongo. Kodwa bathi: Ngeke silalele.

¹⁸ Ngakho-ke, yizwani, O zizwe, futhi wazi, O bandla, ukuthi yini phakathi kwabo.

¹⁹ Zwana, mhlaba, bheka, ngehlisela okubi phezu kwalaba bantu, yebo, isithelo semicabango yabo, ngokuba abawalalelanga amazwi ami nomthetho wami, kepha bawulahla.

²⁰ Kungani kufike kimi impepho evela eSheba, nomhlanga omnandi ovela ezweni elikude? iminikelo yenu yokushiswa ayamukeleki, neminikelo yenu yokushiswa ayimnandi Kimi.

²¹ Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Bheka, ngibekela laba bantu izithiyo, oyise namadodana bawe phezu kwazo kanyekanye; umakhelwane nomngane wakhe bazobhubha.

²² Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: “Bheka, kuyakuvela abantu ezweni lasenyakatho, kuvele isizwe esikhulu emikhawulweni yomhlaba.

²³ Bayakuthatha umnsalo nomkhonto; banonya futhi abanasihe; izwi labo liduma njengolwandle; bagibele amahhashi, behlomele njengamadoda okulwa nawe, ndodakazi yaseSiyoni.

²⁴ Sizwile umbiko ngakho: izandla zethu zibuthakathaka; sibanjwe usizi nobuhlungu njengobelethayo.

²⁵ Ningangeni ensimini, ningahambi endleleni; ngokuba inkemba yesitha nokwesaba kuzungezile.

²⁶ O ndodakazi yabantu bami, bhinca izingubo zokulila, uzigoqe ngomlotha; ulilele njengendodana eyodwa, isililo esimunyu, ngokuba ngokuzumayo umchithi uyakusehlela.

²⁷ Ngikwenze umbhoshongo nenqaba phakathi kwabantu bami, ukuze wazi indlela yabo, ubavivinye.

²⁸ Bonke bangabahlengi abanonya, abahamba ngokuhlambalaza; bayithusi nensimbi; bonke bakhohlakele.

²⁹ Isifutho siyasha, umthofu udliwa ngumlilo; umsunguli uncibilika ngeze, ngokuba ababi abasishulwa.

³⁰ Abantu bazababiza ngokuthi yisiliva elahlwayo, ngoba uJehova ubalahlile.
