Jeremiya 8

¹ Ngaleso sikhathi, usho uJehova, bayakukhipha emathuneni abo amathambo amakhosi akwaJuda, namathambo ezikhulu zakhe, namathambo abapristi, namathambo abaprofethi, namathambo abakhileyo eJerusalema;

² Bayowendlala phambi kwelanga nenyanga naphambi kwebandla lonke lasezulwini ababelithanda nababelikhonza, ababelilandela, ababelifuna, bekhuleka; abayikubuthwa, bangangcwatshwa; bazakuba semhlabeni ukuze babe ngumquba.

³ Futhi ukufa kuyakukhethwa esikhundleni sokuphila kuyo yonke insali yalabo abasele kulesi sizukulwane esibi, abasele ezindaweni zonke lapho engibaxoshele khona,” usho uJehova Sebawoti.

⁴ Futhi kumelwe uthi kubo: ‘Usho kanje uJehova; Ingabe bayowa futhi bangavuki? uzofulathela angabuyi na?

⁵ Kungani laba bantu baseJerusalema behlehliswa ukuhlubuka kwaphakade? babambelele enkohliso, bayala ukubuya.

⁶ Ngalalela ngezwa, kodwa abazange bakhulume kahle; akakho owaphenduka ebubini bakhe wathi: Ngenzeni na? yilowo nalowo waphendukela endleleni yakhe, njengoba ihhashi lingena emncintiswaneni.

⁷ Yebo, unogolantethe ezulwini uyazazi izikhathi zakhe ezimisiwe; nehobhe nenkonjane kuyasigcina isikhathi sokufika kwazo; kepha abantu bami abawazi ukwahlulela kukaJehova.

⁸ Nisho kanjani ukuthi: ‘Sihlakaniphile, nomthetho kaJehova unathi? Bheka, wakwenza ize; usiba lwababhali luyize.

⁹ Abahlakaniphileyo bayajabha, bayesaba, bavalelwe; bheka, balilahlile izwi likaJehova; kukhona ukuhlakanipha kuni na?

¹⁰ Ngakho abafazi babo ngizabanika abanye, lamasimu abo kwabawadla ilifa, ngoba wonke kusukela komncinyane kusiya komkhulu uzinikele ekuhahabeni, kusukela kumprofethi kusiya kumpristi, wonke umuntu wenza amanga.

¹¹ Ngoba bapholisa kancane ukulimala kwendodakazi yabantu bami ngokuthi: Ukuthula, ukuthula! lapho kungekho ukuthula.

¹² Baba namahloni ngokwenza izinengiso na? yebo, ababanga namahloni nakancane futhi bengenakuba namahloni; ngakho-ke bayakuwa phakathi kwalabo abawayo; ngesikhathi sokuhanjelwa kwabo bayakuwa, usho uJehova.

¹³ Ngiyakubaqeda impela, usho uJehova; kungabikho zithelo zomvini emvinini, namakhiwane emkhiwaneni, amaqabunga abune; futhi izinto engibanike zona ziyodlula kubo.

¹⁴ Sihlalelani? buthanani, singene emizini ebiyelweyo, sithule khona, ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu usithulisile, wasinika inyongo ukuba sinathe, ngokuba sonile kuJehova.

¹⁵ Besilindele ukuthula, kodwa akufikanga okuhle; futhi okwesikhathi sempilo, futhi bheka, kukhona usizi!

¹⁶ Ukukhala kwamahhashi akhe kwezwakala kwaDani; ngoba bafika balidla ilizwe lakho konke okwakukulo; umuzi nabakhileyo kuwo.

¹⁷ Ngokuba bhekani, ngiyakuthuma phakathi kwenu izinyoka, imilomo engenakuloywa, zinilume, usho uJehova.

¹⁸ Uma ngifuna ukuziduduza ngosizi, inhliziyo yami iyadangala phakathi kwami.

¹⁹ Bhekani izwi lokukhala kwendodakazi yabantu bami phezu kwabakhileyo ezweni elikude, lithi: “Akakho uJehova eSiyoni na? Inkosi yayo ayikho kuye na? Bangiklolodelani ngezithombe zabo ezibaziweyo nangezithombe eziyize ezingaziwa na?

²⁰ Ukuvuna kuphelile, ihlobo liphelile, thina asikasindiswa.

²¹ Ngokuba ngidabukile ngokuhlushwa kwendodakazi yabantu bami; Ngimnyama; ukumangala kungibambe.

²² Alikho ibhalsamu kwaGileyadi na? akekho udokotela lapho? Pho kungani impilo yendodakazi yabantu bami ingabuyiselwa?
