< Irmiya 45 >
1 Ga abin da Irmiya annabi ya faɗa wa Baruk ɗan Neriya a shekara ta huɗu ta Yehohiyakim ɗan Yosiya sarkin Yahuda, bayan Baruk ya rubuta maganar da Irmiya ya shibta masa a kan littafi cewa,
Ilizwi uJeremiya umprofethi alikhuluma kuBharukhi indodana kaNeriya, ekubhaleni kwakhe lamazwi egwalweni evela emlonyeni kaJeremiya, ngomnyaka wesine kaJehoyakhimi, indodana kaJosiya, inkosi yakoJuda, lisithi:
2 “Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, yana ce maka, Baruk.
Itsho njalo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, kuwe Bharukhi:
3 Ka ce, ‘Kaitona! Ubangiji ya ƙara baƙin ciki da wahalata; na gaji da nishe-nishe ban kuma huta ba.’”
Uthi wena: Hawu maye mina, ngoba iNkosi yengezelela usizi ebuhlungwini bami, sengikhathele yikububula kwami, njalo kangitholi ukuphumula.
4 Ubangiji ya ce, “Ka faɗa masa wannan, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, zan rushe abin da na gina in kuma tumɓuke abin da na dasa, a duk fāɗin ƙasar.
Uzakutsho njalo kuye: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Khangela, lokho engikwakhileyo ngiyakudiliza, lalokho engikuhlanyeleyo ngiyakusiphuna; yebo, ilizwe leli lonke.
5 Ya kamata ka nemi manyan abubuwa wa kanka? Kada ka neme su. Gama zan aukar da masifa a kan dukan mutane, in ji Ubangiji, amma duk inda ka tafi zan bar ka ka kuɓutar da ranka.’”
Wena-ke uzazidingela izinto ezinkulu yini? Ungazidingi; ngoba khangela, ngiletha okubi phezu kwayo yonke inyama, itsho iNkosi; kodwa ngizakunika impilo yakho ibe yimpango kuzo zonke indawo lapho oya khona.
