Ieremia 22
1 KE olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, E iho oe ilalo i ka hale o ke alii o ka Iuda, a e olelo malaila i keia olelo;
Nanku akutshoyo uThixo: “Hamba wehlele endlini yenkosi yakoJuda umemezele khona ilizwi leli uthi,
2 E i aku, E hoolohe oe i ka olelo a Iehova, e ke alii o ka Iuda, ka mea noho ma ka nohoalii o Davida, o oe, a me kau poe kauwa, a me kou poe kanaka, na mea komo iloko o keia mau pukapa.
‘Zwana ilizwi likaThixo, we nkosi yakoJuda, wena ohlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavida, wena lezikhulu zakho kanye labantu bakho abangena ngamasango la.
3 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei; E hana oukou i ka hooponopono, a me ka maikai, a e hoopakele i ka mea i haoia, mai ka lima aku o ka mea hookaumaha: mai hana i ka mea i hewa, mai hana i ka mea kolohe i ka malihini, a i ke kieki makuaole, a i ka wahine kanemake: mai hookahe hoi i ke koko hala ole ma keia wahi.
UThixo uthi: Yenzani okulungileyo lokuqondileyo. Mhlenge esandleni somncindezeli wakhe lowo ophangiweyo. Lingenzi okubi loba udlakela kowezizweni, intandane loba umfelokazi, njalo lingachithi igazi elingelacala kule indawo.
4 No ka mea, ina hana io oukou i keia, alaila, e komo mai no ma na pukapa o keia hale, he poe alii, e noho ana ma ka nohoalii o Davida, e holo ana hoi maloko o na kaakaua, a maluna o na lio, oia, a me kana poe kauwa, a me kona poe kanaka.
Ngoba nxa linanzelela ukulandela imilayo le, amakhosi ahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavida azangena ngamasango ale indawo, egade izinqola zempi lamabhiza, elezikhulu zawo kanye labantu bawo.
5 Aka, ina aole oukou e hoolohe i keia mau olelo, ke hoohiki nei au ia'u iho, wahi a Iehova, e lilo no keia hale i neoneo.
Kodwa nxa imilayo le lingayilaleli, kutsho uThixo, ngifunga ngami ukuthi indawo le izakuba lunxiwa.’”
6 No ka mea, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova i ko ka hale o ke alii o ka Iuda; O oe no o Gileada ia'u, o ke poo hoi o Lebanona. He oiaio, e hoolilo no wau ia oe i waonahele, i kulanakauhale noho ole ia.
Ngoba mayelana lendawo yenkosi yakoJuda uThixo uthi: “Lanxa unjengeGiliyadi kimi, lanjengengqongo yeLebhanoni, ngeqiniso ngizakwenza ufane lenkangala, lanjengamadolobho angahlali muntu.
7 A na'u hoi e hoomakaukau i poe luku aku ia oe, o kela mea keia mea, me kona mea eha: a na lakou e kua ilalo i kou mau kedera maikai, a e kiola ia lakou iloko o ke ahi.
Ngizakuthumela abachithi, indoda nganye ilezikhali zayo, njalo bazaquma imijabo yenu emihle yemisedari bayiphosele emlilweni.
8 A e nui loa auanei na lahuikanaka e hele ae a hala keia kulanakauhale, a e olelo kela mea keia mea o lakou i kona hoa, No keaha la i haua mai ai o Iehova ia mea i keia kulanakauhale nui?
Abantu abavela ezizweni ezinengi bazadlula kulelidolobho babuzane besithi, ‘Kungani uThixo enze into enje kulelidolobho elikhulu na?’
9 Alaila, e olelo no lakou, No ka mea, ua haalele lakou i ka berita o Iehova, ko lakou Akua, a ua hoomaua i na'kua e, a ua malama ia lakou.
Impendulo izakuthi: ‘Ngoba basidelile isivumelwano sikaThixo uNkulunkulu wabo bakhonza abanye onkulunkulu njalo babasebenzela.’”
10 Mai uwe oukou no ka mea i make, mai kanikau ia ia; e uwe nui i ka mea i hele aku; no ka mea, aole ia e hoi hou mai, aole e ike hou i kona aina hanau.
Lingayikhaleli inkosi efileyo loba lililele ukulilahlekela kwayo; kodwa, khalelani kakhulu othunjiweyo, ngoba kasayikubuya njalo loba abone ilizwe lakibo futhi.
11 No ka mea, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova no Saluma, ke keiki a Iosia, ke alii o ka Iuda, ka mea i noho aupuni ma ka hakahaka o Iosia, o kona makua, ka mea i hele, mai keia wahi aku; aole ia e hoi hou ilaila:
Ngoba mayelana loShalumi indodana kaJosiya, owangena esikhundleni sikayise esiba yinkosi yakoJuda kodwa osesukile kule indawo: UThixo uthi, “Kasoze abuye futhi.
12 Aka, e make no oia ma kahi a lakou i lawepio ai ia ia, aole e ike hou mai i keia aina.
Uzafela kuleyondawo asiwa kuyo ethunjiwe; ilizwe leli kasoze alibone futhi.”
13 Auwe ka mea kukulu i kona hale me ka pono ole, a me kona mau keena maluna, me ka mea aole i maikai, ka mea hoohana wale i kona hoalauna, aole hoi i uku mai no kana hana ana;
“Maye kuye owakha indlu yakhe yobukhosi ngokungalungi, lezindlu zakhe zangaphezulu ngokungafanelanga, esenza abantu bakibo basebenzele ize, engabaholisi lutho ngokusebenza kwabo.
14 Ka mea i olelo, E hana no wau i hale akea no'u me na keena nui maluna; a kalai hoi i mau puka makani nona; a ua kapiliia i ka laau kedera, a ua penaia i ka ulaula.
Uthi, ‘Ngizazakhela indlu enkulu yobukhosi elezitezi ezibanzi.’ Ngakho uyenza ibe lamawindi amakhulu, ayinameke ngemisidari, ayicombe ngokubomvu.
15 E noho aupuni anei oe no kou hoopuni ana ia oe i ke kedera? Aole anei i ai, a inu kou makuakane, a hana i ka hooponopono, a me ka pololei, alaila, ua pomaikai oia?
Ukuba lemisedari eminenginengi kukwenza ube yinkosi na? Uyihlo kazange abe lokudla lokunathwayo na? Wenza okuqondileyo lokulungileyo, ngakho konke kwamlungela.
16 Nana no i hooponopono i ka hihia o ka poe hune, a me ka poe nele, alaila, pomaikai. Aole anei oia ka i ike mai ia'u, wahi a Iehova?
Wavikela amalungelo abayanga labaswelayo, ngakho konke kwamlungela. Lokho akusikho okutsho ukungazi na?” kutsho uThixo.
17 Aka, aohe mea ma kou mau maka, a ma kou naau, o kou makeewaiwai no, a me ka hookahe i ke koko hala ole, a me ka hookaumaha, a me ka lawe wale, e hana hoi.
“Kodwa amehlo akho lenhliziyo yakho kukhangele inzuzo yenkohliso, lokuchitha igazi elingelacala, ukuncindezela kanye lodlakela.”
18 Nolaila, penei ka olelo ana mai a Iehova no Iehoiakima, ke keiki a Iosia, ke alii o ka Iuda; Aole lakou e kumakena ia ia, me ka i iho, Auwe kuu kaikuaana! auwe kuu kaikuwahine! aole lakou e kumakena ia ia, me ka i iho, Auwe ka haku! auwe kona nani!
Ngakho mayelana loJehoyakhimi indodana kaJosiya, inkosi yakoJuda, uThixo uthi: “Kabayikumkhalela besithi: ‘Maye ngomfowethu! Maye ngodadewethu!’ Kabayikumkhalela besithi: ‘Maye ngenkosi yami! Maye ngobuhle bayo obukhulu!’
19 E kanuia no ia me ke kanu ana o ka hoki, i hukiia a kiolaia'ku mawaho aku o na pukapa o Ierusalema.
Uzangcwatshwa njengobabhemi, ahudulwe aphoselwe ngaphandle kwamasango aseJerusalema.”
20 E pii aku oe i Lebanona, a e kahea aku, e hookiekie hoi i kou leo ma Banana, a e kahea aku ma kela aoao; no ka mea, ua lukuia kou poe ipo a pau.
“Qansa uye eLebhanoni umemeze, wenze ilizwi lakho lizwakale eBhashani; memeza use-Abharimi, ngoba bonke abamanyane lawe banqotshiwe.
21 I kou wa i pomaikai ai, olelo aku la no wau ia oe, aka, olelo mai oe, Aole au e hoolohe: oia hoi kou aoao, mai kou wa opiopio mai, no ka mea, aole oe i hoolohe i ko'u leo.
Ngakuxwayisa uzibona uvikelekile, kodwa wena wathi, ‘Angiyikulalela!’ Le ibe iyindlela yakho kusukela ebutsheni bakho; kawungilalelanga.
22 Na ka makani no e hoopau i kou mau kahu a pau; a e hele no kou poe ipo iloko o ke pio. Oiaio, i kela wa, e hilahila no oe, a e hoopalai no hoi, no kou hewa a pau.
Umoya uzabaxotshela khatshana bonke abelusi bakho, labamanyene lawe bazathunjwa. Lapho-ke uzayangeka ube lenhloni ngenxa yobubi bakho bonke.
23 E ka mea noho ma Lebanona, ka mea hana i kou punana maloko o na laau kedera; pehea la oe e alohaia mai ai i ka wa e hiki mai ai kou eha, o ke kuakoko hoi, e like me ko ka wahine hanau keiki?
Lina abahlala ‘eLebhanoni,’ eligcineke kuhle ezindlini zemisedari, lizabubula kakhulu lapho inhlungu zilehlela, ubuhlungu obunjengowesifazane ehelelwa!”
24 Me au e ola nei, wahi a Iehova, ina o Konia, ke keiki a Iehoiakima, ke alii o ka Iuda, ina paha oia ka hoailona ma ko'u lima akau; e uhuki aku no au ia oe malaila mai.
UThixo uthi, “Ngeqiniso njengoba ngikhona, lanxa ngabe wena, Jehoyakhini ndodana kaJehoyakhimi inkosi yakoJuda, wawuyindandatho ebukekayo esandleni sami sokunene, ngangizakukhupha.
25 A e haawi aku no au ia oe iloko o ka lima o ka poe e imi nei i kou ola, a iloko hoi o ka lima o ka poe nona ka maka au e makau nei, iloko o ka lima hoi o Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona, a iloko o ka lima o ko Kaledea.
Ngizakunikela kulabo abafuna ukukubulala, labo obesabayo, uNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni lakumaKhaladiya.
26 A e kipaku aku no wau ia oe, a me kou makuwahine nana oe i hanau, i ka aina e, i kahi o oukou i hanau ole ia'i; a malaila oukou e make ai.
Wena kanye lonyoko owakuzalayo ngizaliphosela kwelinye ilizwe, lapho elingazalelwanga khona, lapho elizafela khona lobabili.
27 Aka, o ka aina a lakou e makemake ai e hoi mai; aole lakou e hoi mai ilaila.
Kaliyikuphinda libuye elizweni elifisa ukuza kulo.”
28 O keia kanaka, o Konia, he kii anei oia i hoowahawahaia, a naha no hoi? He ipu anei i makemake ole ia? No ke aha lakou i kipakuia'ku ai, oia, a me kana hua, a ua hooleiia iloko o ka aina a lakou i ike ole ai?
Umuntu lo, uJehoyakhini, uyimbiza efileyo, edelelwayo, into engafunwa muntu na? Kungani yena labantwabakhe bezaphoselwa ngaphandle, balahlelwe elizweni abangalaziyo na?
29 E ka honua, ka honua, ka honua, E hoolohe oe i ka olelo a Iehova:
Wena lizwe, lizwe, lizwe, zwana ilizwi likaThixo!
30 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, E palapala oe i keia kanaka, ua keiki ole, he kanaka pomaikai ole i kona mau la: no ka mea, aohe kanaka o kana hua e pomaikai ana, e noho ana ma ka nohoalii o Davida, a e noho aupuni hou ana ma ka Iuda.
UThixo uthi: “Bhalani umuntu lo njengongelabantwana, umuntu ongayikuphumelela empilweni yakhe, ngoba kakho owenzalo yakhe ozaphumelela, kakho ozahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavida loba abuse futhi koJuda.”
