Jeremiya 5 - Siswati 1996 Bible

Sono seJerusalema

¹ “Yehlani nenyuka etitaladini taseJerusalema, calatani ndzawo tonkhe nicabange kahle, phenyisisani tonkhe tinkhundla tayo. Naningakhandza nome munye nje umuntfu lowenta tintfo ngekwetsembeka, afune liciniso, ngitalitsetselela lelidolobha.

² Nome bakhuluma batsi: ‘Ngifunga kuphila kwaSimakadze,’ noko basafunga emanga.”

³ Awu Simakadze, emehlo akho akafuni lona yini liciniso? Wabashaya, kodvwa abazange babuve buhlungu, wabapitjita, kodvwa bakwala kucondziswa. Benta buso babo baba lukhuni kunelitje, bala kuphendvuka.

⁴ Ngacabanga ngatsi: “Laba ngulabamphofu bodvwa, batilima, ngobe abayati indlela yaSimakadze, imiyalo lefunwa nguNkulunkulu wabo, kubo.

⁵ Ngako ngiyakuya kubaholi, ngikhulume kubo, ngempela, bayayati indlela yaSimakadze, imiyalo lefunwa nguNkulunkulu wabo, kubo.” Kodvwa nabo futsi nganhlitiyonye balephula lijoko, batidzabula netibopho.

⁶ Ngako-ke batawuhlaselwa libhubesi leliphuma ehlatsini, batawuphangwa yimphisi lephuma ehlane, ingwe itawubalalela endleleni edvutane nemadolobha abo; itemdzabudzabula abe ticucu nome ngubani lotsi uyaphuma, ngobe kuhlubuka kwabo kukhulu, nekweduka kwabo kunyenti.

⁷ “Kufanele ngani kutsi nginitsetselele? Bantfwabenu bangishiyile mine, bafunga ngemabito abonkulunkulu labangesibo bonkulunkulu. Ngabanika konkhe lababekweswele, noko bachubeka nekuphinga, babutsana etindlini tetingwadla.

⁸ Bondleke kahle, batinkunzi temahhashi lanenkhanuko, nguleyo ikhalela umfati walenye indvodza.

⁹ Akukafaneli yini kutsi ngibajezise ngaloko?” kusho Simakadze. “Akukafaneli yini ngitenanele mine kulesive lesifanana nalesi?

¹⁰ “Dzabula tivini taso utone, kodvwa ungatibhubhisi tiphele titsi nya. Waphundle emagala ato, ngobe labantfu abasibo baSimakadze.

¹¹ Indlu yaka-Israyeli nendlu yakaJuda betingaketsembeki nakancane nje kimi,” kusho Simakadze.

Simakadze ulahla Israyeli

¹² Bacale emanga ngaSimakadze batsi: “Kute latakwenta! Kute lokubi lokutasehlela, singeke siyibone inkemba nome indlala.

¹³ Baphrofethi bangumoya nje, kute nelivi kubo; ngako akwenteke kubo loko labakushoko.”

¹⁴ Ngako naku lokushiwo nguSimakadze Nkulunkulu longuSomandla, utsi: “Njengobe bantfu bakhulume lamavi, emavi ami ngitawenta abe ngumlilo emlonyeni wakho, labantfu babe tinkhuni letitawudliwa ngiwo.

¹⁵ Yebo, wenandlu yaka-Israyeli,” kusho Simakadze, “ngitawuletsa sive lesikhashane sitekulwa nani, sive sasendvulo lesicinile, sive lesikhuluma lulwimi leningalwati, yebo, lesikhuluma lulwimi leningaluva.

¹⁶ Imigodla yaso injengelithuna lelivulekile, bonkhe bangemachawe lanemandla.

¹⁷ Bayawushwabudzela sivuno senu nekudla kwenu, bashwabudzele emadvodzana nemadvodzakati enu, bashwabudzele imihlambi yenu yetimvu neyetinkhomo, bashwabudzele emavini enu nemikhiwa yenu. Lamadolobha enu labiyelwe lenetsembele kuwo batawabhubhisa ngenkemba.”

¹⁸ Simakadze utsi: “Noko ngisho nakulawo malanga ngingeke nginibhubhise nginicedze.

¹⁹ Bantfu nabakubuta, Jeremiya, batsi: ‘Simakadze ukwenteleni konkhe loku kitsi?’ uyawubatjela utsi: ‘Njengobe ningishiyile mine nakhonta labanye bonkulunkulu betive eveni lenu, ngako manje seniyawukhonta betive eveni lekungesilo lenu.’ ”

Nkulunkulu wecwayisa sive sakhe

²⁰ “Memetelani loku endlini yaJakobe, nikumemetele nakaJuda nitsi:

²¹ Lalelani naku, nine bantfu labatilima nalabangenangcondvo, labatsi banemehlo kodvwa babe bangaboni, labatsi banetindlebe kodvwa babe bangeva:

²² Kufanele ningangesabi yini mine?” kusho Simakadze. “Akufanele yini nitfutfumele ebukhoneni bami? Ngenta sihlabatsi saba ngumnyele welwandle, umtsangala waphakadze lolungeke luwengce. Emagagasi angakhephuka, kodvwa angeke aphumelele, angabhodla, kodvwa angeke awengce.

²³ Kodvwa labantfu banenkhani netinhlitiyo letihlubukako, bakhweshele eceleni bahamba.

²⁴ Abatekhuti bona batsi: ‘Asesabe Simakadze Nkulunkulu wetfu, lowehlisa timvula tasekwindla netasentfwasahlobo, ngesikhatsi lesifanele; losinika siciniseko ngekutsi sikhatsi sekuvuna sitawufika.’

²⁵ Konkhe loku kuvinjwe kona kwenu, tono tenu tinemuke lokuhle.

²⁶ “Emkhatsini wesive sami kukhona emadvodza lamabi labahlala bagadzile njengebantfu labetsiya tinyoni, nanjengalabo lababekela bantfu tingibe tekubabamba.

²⁷ Tindlu tabo tigcwele emacebo njengetindlu tetinyoni letigcwele tinyoni; sebaze banjinga baba nemandla,

²⁸ sebakhuluphele baze bamanyatela. Tento tabo letimbi atinamkhawulo, ababameleli labo labate boyise kutsi bangalahlwa licala, abawalweli nemalungelo alabamphofu.”

²⁹ Simakadze utsi: “Akukafaneli yini kutsi ngibajezise ngaloku? Akukafaneli yini kutsi ngitenanele kulesive lesinje?

³⁰ “Kwenteke intfo lembi naleshacisako eveni:

³¹ Baphrofethi baphrofetha emanga, baphristi baphetse ngeligunya labo, nebantfu bami bakutsandza ngaleyo ndlela. Kodvwa nitakwenta njani ekupheleni?”
