Jeremiah 18
1 BOEIPA taeng lamloh Jeremiah taengla ol ha pawk tih,
Leli yilizwi elafika kuJeremiya livela kuThixo lisithi:
2 “Thoo lamtah amsai im la cet. Te vaengah ka ol he nang taengah pahoi kan yaak sak bini,” a ti.
“Suka wehlele endlini yombumbi, lapho engizakutshelela khona ilizwi lami.”
3 Te dongah amsai im la pakcak ka suntlak vaengah amkhawn dongah bi tarha ana saii.
Ngakho ngehlela endlini yombumbi, ngambona esebenza ngevili.
4 Tedae amsai kut dongah amlai lamloh a saii am te vik rhek. Te dongah mael tih am tloe te a saii tih amsai mik dongah then a ti bangla a saii.
Kodwa imbiza ayeyibumba ngebumba yonakala ezandleni zakhe; ngakho umbumbi wayenza yaba ngenye imbiza, ngendlela ayibona ingcono kuye.
5 Te phoeiah BOEIPA ol loh kai taengah ha pawk tih,
Ilizwi likaThixo laselifika kimi lisithi;
6 Israel imkhui nangmih taengah he kah amsai bangla saii ham ka coeng moenih a? He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Amsai kut kah amlai bangla nangmih Israel imkhui khaw kamah kut ah om van he.
“Wena ndlu ka-Israyeli, ngingeze ngenza kuwe njengokwenziwa ngumbumbi lo na?” kutsho uThixo. “Njengebumba esandleni sombumbi lawe unjalo esandleni sami, wena ndlu ka-Israyeli.
7 Namtom neh ram he phuk ham khaw, palet ham neh milh sak ham khaw mikhaptok ah ka thui coeng.
Nxa ngimemezela langasiphi isikhathi ukuthi isizwe loba umbuso uzasuswa udilizwe, uchithwe,
8 Namtom he a boethae lamloh a yut te ni amah taengah ka thui. Te daengah ni a soah boethae saii ham ka moeh te ko ka hlawt eh.
kuthi isizwe leso engisixwayisileyo siphenduke ebubini baso, ngizaxola ngingabe ngisasehlisela ebesengimise ukusehlisela khona.
9 Namtom neh ram te thoh ham neh phung ham khaw mikhaptok ah ka thui coeng.
Njalo nxa ngesinye isikhathi ngimemezela ukuthi isizwe kumbe umbuso ngizawakha ngiwumise,
10 Ka mikhmuh ah a thae a thae te a saii tih ka ol he hnatun pawh. A then ham a then la ka thui khaw ko ka hlawt ni.
ube ususenza ububi emehlweni ami njalo ungangilaleli, ngizacabanga kutsha ngokuhle ebesengicebe ukukwenzela khona.
11 Te dongah Judah hlang taeng neh Jerusalem khosa taengah voek laeh lamtah he he thui laeh. BOEIPA loh, “Nangmih ham yoethae ka hmoel tih nangmih ham kopoek ka moeh coeng he. Hlang loh a longpuei thae lamloh mael laeh saeh. Na longpuei neh na khoboe te dueng uh laeh.
Ngakho khathesi tshela abantu bakoJuda lalabo abahlala eJerusalema uthi, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: Khangelani! Ngilungisela ukulehlisela umonakalo njalo ngibumba lecebo ngani. Ngakho phendukani ezindleleni zenu ezimbi, omunye lomunye wenu, lilungise izindlela zenu lezenzo zenu.’
12 Tedae, 'Talsae la, kaimih kopoek hnukah ka pongpa uh bitni,’ a ti uh vetih hlang loh a lungbuei kah thinthahnah neh, 'A thae saii sih,’ a ti uh ni,'” a ti.
Kodwa bazaphendula bathi, ‘Akusizi lutho. Sizaqhubeka ngamacebo ethu; lowo lalowo wethu uzalandela ubulukhuni benhliziyo yakhe embi.’”
13 Te dongah BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Namtom taengah khaw dawt laeh. Israel oila loh rhih-om la mat a saii bang he unim aka ya?
Ngakho uThixo uthi: “Buzani phakathi kwezizwe ukuthi: Ngubani owake wezwa okunjengalokhu na? Kwenziwe into eyesabekayo kakhulu, yenziwe yintombi egcweleyo u-Israyeli.
14 Lebanon vuelsong hmuen kah lungpang lamloh a hawk tih kholong khosik kah aka long tui ke kak bal nim?
Ungqwaqwane waseLebhanoni uyake unyamalale emithezukweni yayo elamatshe na? Amanzi akhona aqandayo avela kude ayake eme ukugeleza na?
15 Ka pilnam loh kai n'hnilh tih a poeyoek la a phum uh. Te dongah a longpuei ah amamih paloe uh. Khosuen lamkat ah pongpa ham a hawn longpuei te picai uh pawh.
Kodwa abantu bami sebengikhohliwe; batshisela izithombe eziyize impepha, ezabenza bakhubeka ezindleleni zabo lasemikhondweni yasendulo. Zabenza bahamba ngezindledlana zeganga lasemigwaqweni engalungiswanga.
16 A khohmuen te imsuep la a khueh uh tih kumhal due a rhungnah om. Te te aka pah boeih khaw pong vetih a lu te a thuk ni.
Ilizwe labo lizatshabalaliswa, into yokuhlekwa usulu; bonke abadlula khona bazakwethuka banyikinye amakhanda abo.
17 Amih te a thunkha mikhmuh ah khothoeng yilh bangla a rhawn long ka taekyak ni. Amih kah rhainah khohnin ah amih te maelhmai ka tueng mahpawh.
Njengomoya ovela empumalanga, ngizabahlakaza phambi kwezitha zabo; ngizabafulathela ngibancitshe ubuso bami ngosuku lokuhlupheka kwabo.”
18 Te vaengah, “Cet uh sih lamtah Jeremiah te kopoek neh moeh uh sih. Khosoih neh hlangcueih kah cilsuep dongah khaw, tonghma lamkah ol dongah khaw olkhueng he paltham mahpawh. Anih te ol nen khaw ngawn uh sih lamtah a thui boeih te hnatung uh boel sih,” a ti uh.
Bona bathi, “Wozani sicebe amacebo amabi ngoJeremiya; ngoba ukufundisa kwabaphristi umthetho akusoze kuphuthe, kumbe ukweluleka kwezihlakaniphi, loba ilizwi elivela kubaphrofethi. Ngakho wozani, simhlasele ngemilomo yethu singananzi lutho alutshoyo.”
19 BOEIPA aw kai taengkah he hnatung lamtah ka lungawn ol te ya lah.
Ake ungizwe, awu Thixo; ulalele okutshiwo yizitha zami!
20 Ka hinglu ham vaam a vueh uh lalah a boethae te a then neh ka thuung venim? Na mikhmuh ah ka pai ham, amih yueng a then thui ham, na kosi te amih taeng lamloh a mael ham khaw poek lah.
Okuhle kuphindiselwa ngokubi na? Ikanti sebengimbele igodi. Khumbula ukuba ngema phambi kwakho ngabakhulumela ukuba ususe ulaka lwakho kubo.
21 Te dongah a ca rhoek te khokha taengah pae tangloeng lamtah cunghang kut dongah khaw hawk laeh. A yuu rhoek te dueidah laemhong neh nuhmai la om uh saeh. A hlang rhoek te dueknah kah a ngawn la om uh saeh. Tongpang rhoek te caemtloek vaengah cunghang loh ngawn saeh.
Ngakho-ke abantwababo banikele endlaleni; ubaqhubele emandleni enkemba. Abafazi babo kabangabi labantwana njalo babe ngabafelokazi; amadoda abo kawabulawe, amajaha akhona abulawe ngenkemba empini.
22 Kai tuuk ham tah rhom te khaw vaam la a vueh uh tih ka kho ham khaw pael a tung uh dongah, amih ham caem buengrhuet na khuen pah vaengah a imkhui lamloh a pang uh ya saeh.
Kakuzwakale ukukhala ezindlini zabo, lapho usulethe abahlaseli ukuba babajume, ngoba sebegebhe igodi ukuba bangithumbe njalo bathiya inyawo zami ngemijibila.
23 Tedae dueknah ham kai soah amih kah cilsuep boeih te BOEIPA namah loh na ming. Amih kathaesainah te dawth pah boel lamtah a tholhnah te na mikhmuh lamloh huih pah boeh. Na thintoek tue vaengah amih te saii lamtah na mikhmuh ah aka paloe la om rhoe om saeh.
Kodwa uyawazi, wena Thixo, wonke amaqhinga abo okungibulala. Ungabathetheleli amacala abo loba ucitshe izono zabo phambi kobuso bakho. Kabachithwe phambi kwakho; bahlasele ngesikhathi sokuthukuthela kwakho.
