Jeremia 36
1 Mwaka-inĩ wa ĩna kuuma Jehoiakimu mũrũ wa Josia atuĩka mũthamaki wa Juda-rĩ, ndũmĩrĩri ĩno nĩyakinyĩire Jeremia yumĩte harĩ Jehova, akĩĩrwo ũũ:
Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wesine kaJehoyakhimi, indodana kaJosiya, inkosi yakoJuda, lelilizwi lafika kuJeremiya livela eNkosini, lisithi:
2 “Oya ibuku rĩa gĩkũnjo wandĩke thĩinĩ warĩo mohoro marĩa mothe ngũheete makoniĩ Isiraeli na Juda, o hamwe na ndũrĩrĩ iria ingĩ ciothe, kuuma ihinda rĩrĩa ndambĩrĩirie gũkwarĩria hĩndĩ ya wathani wa Josia, o nginya ũmũthĩ.
Zithathele umqulu wogwalo, ubhale kiwo wonke amazwi engiwakhulume kuwe ngoIsrayeli langoJuda langazo zonke izizwe, kusukela ngosuku lokukhuluma kwami kuwe, kusukela ensukwini zikaJosiya, kuze kube lamuhla.
3 Hihi rĩrĩa andũ a Juda makaigua ũhoro wa mwanangĩko ũrĩa wothe njiirĩire kũmarehithĩria-rĩ, mũndũ o mũndũ wao ahota kũgarũrũka atigane na mĩthiĩre yake ya waganu; na niĩ nĩngamarekera waganu wao na mehia mao.”
Mhlawumbe abendlu kaJuda bazakuzwa bonke ububi engicabanga ukubenza kubo; ukuze baphenduke, ngulowo lalowo endleleni yakhe embi, ukuze ngithethelele ububi babo lesono sabo.
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jeremia agĩĩta Baruku mũrũ wa Neria, nake Jeremia akĩmwĩra maũndũ marĩa mothe Jehova aamwarĩirie, nake Baruku akamandĩka ibuku-inĩ rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo.
UJeremiya wasebiza uBharukhi indodana kaNeriya; uBharukhi wasebhala okuvela emlonyeni kaJeremiya, wonke amazwi eNkosi eyayiwakhulume kuye, emqulwini wogwalo.
5 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jeremia akĩĩra Baruku atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩmuohe; ndingĩhota gũthiĩ hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova.
UJeremiya waselaya uBharukhi esithi: Ngivinjelwe, kangilakungena endlini yeNkosi.
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio thiĩ arĩ we kũu nyũmba-inĩ ya Jehova mũthenya ũmwe ũrĩa kwĩhingagwo kũrĩa irio, nawe ũthomere andũ acio kuuma ibuku-inĩ rĩĩrĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo maũndũ marĩa maarĩtio nĩ Jehova, macio wee wandĩkire o ta ũrĩa niĩ ndaakwĩraga wandĩke.
Ngakho hamba wena, ufunde emqulwini owubhalileyo, kuvela emlonyeni wami, amazwi eNkosi endlebeni zabantu endlini yeNkosi ngosuku lokuzila ukudla; uwafunde futhi endlebeni zakhe wonke uJuda abavela emizini yabo.
7 Hihi maahota kũrehe mathaithana mao harĩ Jehova, na o mũndũ wao atigane na mĩthiĩre yake ya waganu, nĩ ũndũ marakara na mangʼũrĩ marĩa matuĩrĩirwo andũ aya nĩ Jehova nĩ manene.”
Mhlawumbe ukuncenga kwabo kuzakuwa phambi kweNkosi, baphenduke, ngulowo lalowo endleleni yakhe embi; ngoba lukhulu ulaka lentukuthelo iNkosi ekukhulume kulababantu.
8 Nake Baruku mũrũ wa Neria nĩekire ũrĩa wothe Jeremia ũrĩa mũnabii aamwĩrĩte eeke; agĩthoma ndũmĩrĩri ĩyo ya Jehova kũu thĩinĩ wa hekarũ kuuma ibuku-inĩ rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo.
UBharukhi indodana kaNeriya wasesenza njengakho konke uJeremiya umprofethi ayemlaye khona, efunda egwalweni amazwi eNkosi endlini yeNkosi.
9 Na rĩrĩ, mweri-inĩ wa kenda wa mwaka wa ĩtano wa wathani wa Jehoiakimu mũrũ wa Josia mũthamaki wa Juda, ihinda rĩa kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio mbere ya Jehova nĩrĩanĩrĩirwo kũrĩ andũ othe a Jerusalemu, o na arĩa angĩ othe mookĩte kuuma matũũra ma Juda.
Kwasekuthi emnyakeni wesihlanu kaJehoyakhimi, indodana kaJosiya, inkosi yakoJuda, ngenyanga yesificamunwemunye, bamemezela ukuzila ukudla phambi kweNkosi, bonke abantu eJerusalema, labantu bonke abavela emizini yakoJuda eJerusalema.
10 Kuuma kanyũmba-inĩ ka Gemaria mũrũ wa Shafani ũrĩa mwandĩki, karĩa kaarĩ o kũu nja ya na igũrũ, itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Kĩhingo kĩrĩa Kĩerũ kĩa hekarũ, Baruku agĩthomera andũ othe ciugo cia Jeremia kuuma ibuku-inĩ rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo kũu hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova.
UBharukhi wasefunda egwalweni amazwi kaJeremiya endlini yeNkosi, ekamelweni likaGemariya, indodana kaShafani, umbhali, egumeni elingaphezulu, emnyango wesango elitsha lendlu yeNkosi, endlebeni zabantu bonke.
11 Rĩrĩa Mikaia mũrũ wa Gemaria, mũrũ wa Shafani aiguire ndũmĩrĩri ĩyo ya Jehova yothe kuuma ibuku-inĩ rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo-rĩ,
UMikhaya, indodana kaGemariya, indodana kaShafani, wasesizwa wonke amazwi eNkosi avela kulolugwalo,
12 agĩikũrũka agĩtoonya kanyũmba-inĩ ka mwandĩki karĩa kaarĩ kũu nyũmba-inĩ ya ũthamaki, harĩa anene othe maikarĩte, nao nĩo: Elishama ũrĩa mwandĩki, na Delia mũrũ wa Shemaia, na Elinathani mũrũ wa Akibori, na Gemaria mũrũ wa Shafani, na Zedekia mũrũ wa Hanania, na anene arĩa angĩ othe.
wehlela endlini yenkosi, ekamelweni lombhali; khangela-ke, zonke iziphathamandla zazihlezi lapho, uElishama umbhali, loDelaya indodana kaShemaya, loElinathani indodana kaAkhibhori, loGemariya indodana kaShafani, loZedekhiya indodana kaHananiya, leziphathamandla zonke.
13 Mikaia aarĩkia kũmahe ũhoro wothe ũrĩa aiguĩte Baruku agĩthomera andũ kuuma ibuku-inĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo-rĩ,
UMikhaya wasebatshela wonke amazwi ayewezwile, lapho uBharukhi efunda egwalweni endlebeni zabantu.
14 anene acio othe magĩtũma Jehudi mũrũ wa Nethania, mũrũ wa Shelemia, mũrũ wa Kushi, athiĩ akeere Baruku atĩrĩ, “Oya ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo, rĩu ũthomeire andũ, ũũke narĩo.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Baruku mũrũ wa Neria agĩthiĩ hau maarĩ anyiitĩte ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo na guoko gwake.
Zonke iziphathamandla zasezithuma uJehudi, indodana kaNethaniya, indodana kaShelemiya, indodana kaKushi, kuBharukhi, zisithi: Umqulu ofunde kuwo endlebeni zabantu, uthathe ngesandla sakho uze. Ngakho uBharukhi indodana kaNeriya wathatha umqulu ngesandla sakhe, waya kuzo.
15 Nao makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Rĩu ta ikara thĩ, ũtũthomere.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Baruku akĩmathomera.
Zasezisithi kuye: Ake uhlale phansi, uwufunde endlebeni zethu. UBharukhi wasefunda endlebeni zazo.
16 Rĩrĩa maaiguire mohoro macio mothe, makĩrorana marĩ na guoya, makĩĩra Baruku atĩrĩ, “No nginya tũkinyĩrie mũthamaki ũhoro ũcio wothe.”
Kwasekusithi sezizwile wonke amazwi, zethukile, ngulowo lalowo ekhangele kumakhelwane wakhe, zathi kuBharukhi: Sizayitshela isibili inkosi wonke amazwi la.
17 Ningĩ magĩcooka makĩũria Baruku atĩrĩ, “Ta twĩre, maũndũ macio mothe wamandĩkire atĩa? Nĩ Jeremia wakwĩraga nawe ũkamaandĩka?”
Zasezimbuza uBharukhi zisithi: Ake usitshele, wawabhala njani wonke lamazwi emlonyeni wakhe?
18 Baruku akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, nĩwe wanjĩĩraga mohoro macio mothe, na niĩ ngamaandĩka na rangi ibuku-inĩ rĩĩrĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo.”
UBharukhi wasesithi kuzo: Wangifundela wonke lamazwi evela emlonyeni wakhe, ngawabhala egwalweni ngeyinki.
19 Nao anene acio makĩĩra Baruku atĩrĩ, “Wee na Jeremia thiĩi mwĩhithe. Mũtikareke mũndũ o na ũ amenye kũrĩa mũrĩ.”
Iziphathamandla zasezisithi kuBharukhi: Hamba ucatshe, wena loJeremiya, kakungabi lamuntu owaziyo lapho elikhona.
20 Maarĩkia kũiga ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo kanyũmba-inĩ ka Elishama, ũrĩa mwandĩki, magĩtoonya harĩa mũthamaki aarĩ kũu nyũmba yake ya thĩinĩ makĩmũhe ũhoro ũcio wothe.
Zasezingena enkosini egumeni, kodwa umqulu zawubeka ekamelweni likaElishama umbhali; zakhuluma wonke amazwi endlebeni zenkosi.
21 Mũthamaki nake agĩtũma Jehudi agĩĩre ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo, nake Jehudi akĩrĩrehe kuuma kanyũmba-inĩ ka Elishama, ũrĩa mwandĩki, akĩrĩthomera mũthamaki na anene acio othe marũgamĩte hau harĩ mũthamaki.
Inkosi yasithuma uJehudi ukuthi awulande umqulu; wasewuthatha ekamelweni likaElishama umbhali; uJehudi wawufunda endlebeni zenkosi lendlebeni zazo zonke iziphathamandla ezazimi enkosini.
22 Kwarĩ mweri wa kenda, nake mũthamaki aikarĩte nyũmba-inĩ ĩrĩa aikaraga hĩndĩ ya kĩmera kĩa heho, na haarĩ na mwaki waakanaga riiko-inĩ hau mbere yake.
Inkosi yayihlezi-ke endlini yobusika ngenyanga yesificamunwemunye; umlilo wawuvutha embawuleni phambi kwayo.
23 Jehudi aathoma icigo ithatũ kana inya cia ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo-rĩ, mũthamaki nake agacitinia na kahiũ ka mwandĩki, agacikia riiko-inĩ, o nginya rĩrĩa ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo rĩacinirwo rĩothe.
Kwasekusithi lapho uJehudi esefundile amakhasi amathathu loba amane, yawasika ngengqamu yombhali, yawaphosela emlilweni osembawuleni, waze watsha waphela umqulu wonke emlilweni osembawuleni.
24 Mũthamaki na andũ arĩa othe maamũtungataga arĩa maiguire mohoro macio matiigana gwĩtigĩra, o na kana magĩtembũranga nguo ciao.
Kodwa kabesabanga, kabadabulanga izembatho zabo, inkosi lenceku zayo zonke, abawezwayo wonke lamazwi.
25 O na gũtuĩka Elinathani, na Delia, na Gemaria nĩmathaithire mũthamaki ndagacine ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo-rĩ, nĩaregire kũmathikĩrĩria.
Loba kunjalo labo oElinathani loDelaya loGemariya beyincenga inkosi ukuthi ingawutshisi umqulu, kodwa kayibalalelanga.
26 Handũ ha ũguo, mũthamaki agĩatha Jerameeli, mũrũ ũmwe wa mũthamaki, na Seraia mũrũ wa Azirieli, na Shelemia mũrũ wa Abideli, nĩguo manyiite Baruku ũcio mwandĩki, na Jeremia ũrĩa mũnabii. No rĩrĩ, Jehova nĩamahithĩte.
Kodwa inkosi yalaya uJerameli indodana yenkosi, loSeraya indodana kaAziriyeli, loShelemiya indodana kaAbideli, ukuze babambe uBharukhi umbhali loJeremiya umprofethi; kodwa iNkosi yabafihla.
27 Thuutha wa mũthamaki gũcina ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo rĩrĩa rĩandĩkĩtwo mohoro nĩ Baruku ta ũrĩa eerĩtwo nĩ Jeremia andĩke-rĩ, ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyakinyĩrĩire Jeremia, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kuJeremiya emva kokuthi inkosi isiwutshisile umqulu lamazwi uBharukhi ayewabhalile evela emlonyeni kaJeremiya, lisithi:
28 “Oya ibuku rĩngĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo wandĩke thĩinĩ warĩo mohoro marĩa mothe maarĩ ibuku-nĩ rĩu rĩa mbere, rĩu Jehoiakimu mũthamaki wa Juda aacinire.
Zithathele futhi omunye umqulu, ubhale kuwo wonke amazwi okuqala ayesemqulwini wokuqala, uJehoyakhimi inkosi yakoJuda eyawatshisayo.
29 Ningĩ wĩre Jehoiakimu mũthamaki wa Juda atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Nĩwacinire ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo, ũkĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte wandĩke atĩ, ti-itherũ mũthamaki wa Babuloni nĩagooka kwananga bũrũri ũyũ na eherie andũ na nyamũ kuo?”
Njalo uzakuthi kuJehoyakhimi inkosi yakoJuda: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Wena utshisile lumqulu, usithi: Ubhaleleni kiwo usithi: Inkosi yeBhabhiloni izafika isibili, ilichithe lelilizwe, yenze ukuthi kuphele kulo abantu lenyamazana?
30 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ ũndũ ũkoniĩ Jehoiakimu mũthamaki wa Juda: Ndakagĩa na mũndũ wa gũikarĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene kĩa Daudi; kĩimba gĩake gĩgaateeo, na kĩanĩkĩrwo riũa mũthenya, na kĩhĩe nĩ mbaa ũtukũ.
Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi mayelana loJehoyakhimi inkosi yakoJuda: Kayikuba lamuntu ohlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavida; lesidumbu sakhe sizaphoselwa ekutshiseni kwemini lekuqandeni kobusuku.
31 Nĩngamũherithia we hamwe na ciana ciake, na arĩa mamũtungataga, nĩ ũndũ wa waganu wao; nĩngarehithĩria arĩa othe matũũraga Jerusalemu na andũ a Juda mwanangĩko ũrĩa wothe ndaaririe ũhoro waguo ũmakoniĩ, tondũ nĩmagĩte gũthikĩrĩria.’”
Ngizamjezisa-ke yena, lenzalo yakhe, lenceku zakhe, ububi babo; ngehlisele phezu kwabo laphezu kwabahlali beJerusalema laphezu kwabantu bakoJuda konke okubi engikukhulume kubo, kodwa kabalalelanga.
32 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jeremia akĩoya ibuku rĩngĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo, akĩrĩnengera Baruku mũrũ wa Neria ũcio mwandĩki, nake akĩandĩka ibuku-inĩ rĩu mohoro mothe marĩa aacookire kũheo nĩ Jeremia, o macio maandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩrĩa Jehoiakimu mũthamaki wa Juda aacinĩte na mwaki; na hakĩongererwo mohoro mangĩ maingĩ maahaanaine na macio ma mbere.
UJeremiya wasethatha omunye umqulu, wawunika uBharukhi, indodana kaNeriya, umbhali, owabhala kiwo okuvela emlonyeni kaJeremiya wonke amazwi ogwalo uJehoyakhimi inkosi yakoJuda eyalutshisayo ngomlilo; kwengezelelwa-ke kiwo amanye amazwi amanengi afanana lawo.
