Jeremiah 33
1 Moreover, the worde of the Lord came vnto Ieremiah the second time (while he was yet shut vp in the court of prison) saying,
Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kuJeremiya ngokwesibili, esavalelwe egumeni lentolongo, lisithi:
2 Thus sayth the Lord, the maker thereof, the Lord that formed it, and established it, the Lord is his Name.
Itsho njalo iNkosi, ekwenzayo, iNkosi, ekubumbayo, ukukumisa; uJehova libizo lakhe:
3 Call vnto me, and I will answere thee, and shewe thee great and mightie things, which thou knowest not.
Ngibiza, ngikuphendule, ngikwazise izinto ezinkulu lezifihlakeleyo elingazaziyo.
4 For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, concerning the houses of this citie, and concerning the houses of the Kings of Iudah, which are destroyed by the mounts, and by the sword,
Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wakoIsrayeli, ngezindlu zalumuzi langezindlu zamakhosi akoJuda, ezidilizelwe phansi ukuba ngamadundulu langenxa yenkemba:
5 They come to fight with the Caldeans, but it is to fill themselues with the dead bodies of men, whome I haue slaine in mine anger and in my wrath: for I haue hid my face from this citie, because of all their wickednes.
Beza ukulwa lamaKhaladiya, kodwa bayazigcwalisa ngezidumbu zabantu engibatshayileyo ekuthukutheleni kwami lekufuthekeni kwami, njalo engifihle ubuso bami kulumuzi ngenxa yobubi babo bonke.
6 Behold, I will giue it health and amendment: for I wil cure them, and will reueile vnto them the abundance of peace, and trueth.
Khangela, ngizawandisela impilo enhle lokusiliswa; ngibelaphe, ngibembulele ukwanda kokuthula leqiniso.
7 And I wil cause the captiuitie of Iudah and the captiuitie of Israel to returne, and will build them as at the first.
Ngizabuyisa ukuthunjwa kukaJuda lokuthunjwa kukaIsrayeli, ngibakhe njengakuqala.
8 And I wil clense them from all their iniquitie, whereby they haue sinned against me: yea, I wil pardon all their iniquities, whereby they haue sinned against me, and whereby they haue rebelled against me.
Ngibahlambulule kubo bonke ububi babo abona ngabo kimi, ngithethelele zonke iziphambeko zabo abona ngazo kimi labaphambeka ngazo kimi.
9 And it shalbe to me a name, a ioy, a praise, and an honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall heare all ye good that I doe vnto them: and they shall feare and tremble for all the goodnes, and for all the wealth, that I shew vnto this citie.
Njalo kuzakuba kimi libizo lenjabulo, kube ludumo, njalo kube yibuhle, kuzo zonke izizwe zomhlaba ezizakuzwa konke okuhle engibenzela khona; zesabe zithuthumele ngakho konke okuhle langakho konke ukuthula engibenzela khona.
10 Thus sayth the Lord, Againe there shalbe heard in this place (which ye say shalbe desolate, without man, and without beast, euen in the cities of Iudah, and in the streetes of Ierusalem, that are desolate without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast)
Itsho njalo iNkosi: Kuzabuya kuzwakale kulindawo, elithi ngayo, ilunxiwa, engelamuntu lengelanyamazana, emizini yakoJuda lezitaladeni zeJerusalema, ezilunxiwa okungelamuntu lokungelamhlali lokungelanyamazana,
11 The voyce of ioy and the voyce of gladnes, the voyce of the bridegrome, and the voyce of the bride, the voyce of them that shall say, Prayse the Lord of hostes, because the Lord is good: for his mercy endureth for euer, and of them that offer the sacrifice of prayse in the House of the Lord, for I will cause to returne the captiuitie of the land, as at the first, sayth the Lord.
ilizwi lokuthaba, lelizwi lentokozo, ilizwi lomyeni, lelizwi likamakoti, ilizwi labathi: Dumisani iNkosi yamabandla, ngoba iNkosi ilungile, ngoba isihawu sayo simi kuze kube nininini; ilizwi lalabo abaletha indumiso endlini yeNkosi. Ngoba ngizabuyisa ukuthunjwa kwelizwe njengakuqala, itsho iNkosi.
12 Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Againe in this place, which is desolate, without man, and without beast, and in all the cities thereof there shall be dwelling for shepheards to rest their flockes.
Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Kule indawo elunxiwa engelamuntu kuze kube senyamazaneni, lemizini yonke yayo, kuzabuya kube khona imizi yabelusi abazakwenza imihlambi ilale kuyo.
13 In the cities of the mountaines, in the cities in the plaine, and in the cities of the South, and in the land of Beniamin, and about Ierusalem, and in the cities of Iudah shall the sheepe passe againe, vnder the hand of him that telleth them, sayth the Lord.
Emizini yentabeni, emizini yesihotsha, lemizini yeningizimu, lelizweni lakoBhenjamini, lemaphandleni eJerusalema, lemizini yakoJuda, izimvu zizabuya zedlule ngaphansi kwezandla zalowo obalayo, itsho iNkosi.
14 Beholde, the dayes come, sayth the Lord, that I wil performe that good thing, which I haue promised vnto the house of Israel, and to the house of Iudah.
Khangela, insuku ziyeza, itsho iNkosi, lapho ngizamisa ilizwi elihle engilikhulume endlini kaIsrayeli lendlini kaJuda.
15 In those dayes and at that time, wil I cause the branch of righteousnesse to growe vp vnto Dauid, and he shall execute iudgement, and righteousnes in the land.
Ngalezonsuku langalesosikhathi ngizahlumisela uDavida iHlumela elilungileyo; njalo uzakwenza isahlulelo lokulunga elizweni.
16 In those dayes shall Iudah be saued, and Ierusalem shall dwell safely, and hee that shall call her, is the Lord our righteousnesse.
Ngalezonsuku uJuda uzasindiswa, leJerusalema ihlale ivikelekile. Njalo yileli ibizo elizabizwa ngalo: INkosi ukulunga kwethu.
17 For thus sayth the Lord, Dauid shall neuer want a man to sit vpon the throne of the house of Israel.
Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi: Kakuyikuqunywa muntu kuDavida ohlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sendlu kaIsrayeli.
18 Neither shall the Priests and Leuites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to offer meat offerings, and to doe sacrifice continually.
Njalo kakuyikuqunywa muntu kubapristi, amaLevi, ebusweni bami, onikela umnikelo wokutshiswa, atshise umnikelo wokudla, enze umhlatshelo insuku zonke.
19 And the worde of the Lord came vnto Ieremiah, saying,
Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kuJeremiya lisithi:
20 Thus sayth the Lord, If you can breake my couenant of the day, and my couenant of the night, that there should not be day, and night in their season,
Itsho njalo iNkosi: Uba lingasephula isivumelwano sami semini lesivumelwano sami sobusuku, ukuze kungabi khona imini lobusuku ngesikhathi sakho,
21 Then may my couenant be broken with Dauid my seruant, that he should not haue a sonne to reigne vpon his throne, and with the Leuites, and Priests my ministers.
khona sizakwephulwa isivumelwano sami loDavida inceku yami, ukuze angabi landodana yokubusa esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi, lesivumelwano lamaLevi, abapristi, izikhonzi zami.
22 As the army of heauen can not be nombred, neither the sand of the sea measured: so wil I multiplie the seede of Dauid my seruant, and the Leuites, that minister vnto me.
Njengoba ibutho lamazulu lingebalwe, letshebetshebe lolwandle lingelinganiswe, ngokunjalo ngizakwandisa inzalo kaDavida inceku yami lamaLevi angikhonzayo.
23 Moreouer, the worde of the Lord came to Ieremiah, saying,
Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kuJeremiya lisithi:
24 Considerest thou not what this people haue spoken, saying, The two families, which the Lord hath chosen, hee hath euen cast them off? thus they haue despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.
Kawubonanga yini abakutshoyo lababantu besithi: Izinsapho ezimbili iNkosi ebizikhethile izilahlile? Yebo badelela abantu bami, ukuthi bangabe besaba yisizwe phambi kwabo.
25 Thus sayth the Lord, If my couenant be not with day and night, and if I haue not appointed the order of heauen and earth,
Itsho njalo iNkosi: Uba isivumelwano sami singeyisiso esemini lesebusuku, uba ngingamisanga izimiso zamazulu lezomhlaba,
26 Then will I cast away the seede of Iaakob and Dauid my seruant, and not take of his seede to be rulers ouer the seede of Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob: for I wil cause their captiuitie to returne, and haue compassion on them.
khona ngizayala inzalo kaJakobe lekaDavida inceku yami, ukuthi kangiyikuthatha enzalweni yakhe ukuze abuse phezu kwenzalo kaAbrahama, uIsaka, loJakobe; ngoba ngizabuyisa ukuthunjwa kwabo, ngibe lesihawu kibo.
