Jeremiya 7

¹ Izwi elafika kuJeremiya livela kuJehova, lathi:

² Yima esangweni lendlu kaJehova, umemeze khona leli zwi, uthi: ‘Yizwani izwi likaJehova nina nonke bakwaJuda abangena ngalawa masango ukukhuleka kuJehova.

³ Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: ‘Lungisani izindlela zenu nezenzo zenu, nginihlalise kule ndawo.

⁴ Ningethembi emazwini amanga athi: Ithempeli likaJehova, ithempeli likaJehova, ithempeli likaJehova, yilo.

⁵ Ngokuba uma niguqula ngokuphelele izindlela zenu nezenzo zenu; uma nahlulela ngokuphelele phakathi komuntu nomakhelwane wakhe;

⁶ Uma ningacindezeli umfokazi, nentandane, nomfelokazi, ningachithi igazi elingenacala kule ndawo, ningalandeli abanye onkulunkulu, kube kukubi;

⁷ Ngiyakunihlalisa kule ndawo, ezweni engalinika oyihlo, kuze kube phakade naphakade.

⁸ Bhekani, nithembela emazwini amanga angasizi lutho;

⁹ Nizokweba, nibulale, niphinge, nifunge amanga, nishunqise umusi kuBali, nilandele abanye onkulunkulu eningabaziyo na?

¹⁰ Nize nime phambi kwami kule ndlu ebizwa ngegama lami, nithi: ‘Sinikelwe ukwenza zonke lezi zinengiso na?’

¹¹ Le ndlu ebizwa ngegama lami isiphenduke umhume wabaphangi emehlweni enu na? Bheka, nami ngikubonile,” usho uJehova.

¹² Kodwa khathesi hambani liye endaweni yami eyayiseShilo, lapho engabeka khona ibizo lami kuqala, libone engakwenzayo kuyo ngenxa yobubi babantu bami uIsrayeli.

¹³ Manje, ngenxa yokuba nenzile yonke le misebenzi, uJehova uyakhuluma, futhi ngakhuluma kini, ngavuka ekuseni ngakhuluma, kodwa anilalelanga; ngalibiza, kodwa aniphendulanga;

¹⁴ Ngalokho ngiyakwenza kule ndlu ebizwa ngegama lami, eniyethembayo, nakuyo indawo engayinika nina nawoyihlo, njengalokho ngenza eShilo.

¹⁵ Ngiyakunixosha phambi kwami, njengalokho ngaxosha bonke abafowenu, yonke inzalo yakwa-Efrayimi.

¹⁶ Ngakho ungabakhulekeli lababantu, ungabaphakamiseli ukukhala loba umkhuleko, ungangincengi, ngoba kangiyikukuzwa.

¹⁷ Awukuboni yini abakwenzayo emizini yakwaJuda nasezitaladini zaseJerusalema?

¹⁸ Abantwana batheza izinkuni, oyise babasa umlilo, abesifazane baxova inhlama ukwenzela indlovukazi yezulu amaqebelengwane, bathululele abanye onkulunkulu iminikelo yokuphuzwa, ukuze bangicunule.

¹⁹ Bayangicunula na? usho uJehova; abahlazisi ebusweni babo na?

²⁰ Ngalokho isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Bheka, intukuthelo yami nokufutheka kwami kuyakuthululelwa kule ndawo, phezu kwabantu, naphezu kwezilwane, naphezu kwemithi yasendle, naphezu kwezithelo zomhlaba; futhi uyovutha futhi ungacimi.

²¹ Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Lethani iminikelo yenu yokushiswa ezihlalweni zenu, nidle inyama.

²² Ngokuba angikhulumanga koyihlo, futhi angibayalanga ngosuku engabakhipha ngalo ezweni laseGibithe mayelana neminikelo yokushiswa nemihlatshelo.

²³ Kodwa ngabayala le nto ngathi: Lalelani izwi lami, futhi ngizoba nguNkulunkulu wenu, futhi niyoba ngabantu bami; nihambe ngezindlela zonke enginiyale ngazo, ukuze kube kuhle kini.

²⁴ Kodwa kabalalelanga, kababekanga izindlebe zabo, kodwa bahamba ngamacebo langemicabango yenhliziyo yabo embi, bahlehla, kabazange baqhubekele phambili.

²⁵ Kusukela osukwini oyihlo abaphuma ngalo ezweni laseGibithe kuze kube namuhla, ngithuma kini zonke izinceku zami abaprofethi, ngivuka ekuseni imihla ngemihla ngibathuma.

²⁶ Kodwa kabangilalelanga, kababekanga indlebe yabo, kodwa benza lukhuni intamo yabo; benze okubi kunoyise.

²⁷ Ngakho uyakuwakhuluma onke lawa mazwi kubo; kodwa kabayikukuzwa; futhi kumelwe ubabize; kodwa kabayikukuphendula.

²⁸ Kodwa uzakuthi kibo: Lesi yisizwe esingalilaleli ilizwi le Nkosi uNkulunkulu waso, njalo esingamukeli isijeziso; iqiniso lalahleka lanqanyulwa emilonyeni yabo.

²⁹ Nquma izinwele zakho, Jerusalema, uzilahle, uphakamise isililo phezulu; ngokuba uJehova usalile, wasilahla isizukulwane solaka lwayo.

³⁰ Ngokuba abantwana bakwaJuda benzile okubi emehlweni ami,” usho uJehova, “babekile izinengiso zabo endlini ebizwa ngegama lami ukuba bayingcolise.

³¹ Bakha izindawo eziphakemeyo zaseThofeti elisesigodini sendodana kaHinomu ukuze bashise amadodana abo namadodakazi abo ngomlilo; engingabayalanga ngakho, nokungangenanga enhliziyweni yami.

³² Ngakho-ke, bheka, izinsuku ziyeza, usho uJehova, lapho zingasayikuthiwa iThofeti, nesigodi sendodana kaHinomu, kepha isiGodi sokuBulala; ngoba bayakungcwatshwa eThofeti kuze kungabi khona indawo.

³³ Izidumbu zalaba bantu ziyakuba ngukudla kwezinyoni zezulu nokwezilwane zomhlaba; futhi akekho oyobadabula.

³⁴ Khona ngiyokwenza ukuba kuphele izwi lenjabulo nezwi lenjabulo, izwi lomyeni nezwi likamakoti emizini yakwaJuda nasezitaladini zaseJerusalema, ngoba izwe liyoba ihlane.
