Ieremia 25
1 KA olelo i hiki mai io Ieremia la no na kanaka a pau o ka Iuda, i ka makahiki aha o lehoiakima, ke keiki a losia, ke alii o ka Iuda, oia hoi ka makahiki akahi o Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona:
Ilizwi elafika kuJeremiya mayelana labantu bonke bakoJuda, ngomnyaka wesine kaJehoyakhimi indodana kaJosiya, inkosi yakoJuda (kwakungumnyaka wokuqala kaNebhukadirezari, inkosi yeBhabhiloni),
2 Ka mea a Ieremia, ke kaula i olelo ai i na kanaka a pau o ka Iuda, a i ka poe a pau e noho ana ma Ierusalema, i mai la,
alikhulumayo uJeremiya umprofethi kubo bonke abantu bakoJuda, lakubo bonke abahlali beJerusalema, esithi:
3 Mai ka makahiki umikumamakolu o Iosia, ke keiki a Amona, ke alii o ka Iuda a hiki loa mai i keia la, eia hoi ka makahiki iwakaluakumamakolu, ua hiki mai no ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, a ua olelo aku no wau ia oukou, e ala ana i ka wanaao e olelo aku; aka, aole oukou i hoolohe mai.
Kusukela emnyakeni wetshumi lantathu kaJosiya, indodana kaAmoni, inkosi yakoJuda, kuze kube lamuhla, sekuyiminyaka engamatshumi amabili lantathu, ilizwi leNkosi lifikile kimi, njalo ngilikhulumile kini, ngivuka ngovivi ngikhuluma; kodwa kalilalelanga.
4 A ua hoouna mai o Iehova io oukou nei i kana mau kauwa a pau, i na kaula hoi, e ala ana i ka wanaao e hoouna; aka, aole oukou i hoolohe, aole hoi i haliu mai i ko oukou pepeiao e lohe ai.
Futhi iNkosi ithumile kini zonke izinceku zayo, abaprofethi, ivuka ngovivi ibathuma; kodwa kalilalelanga, kalibekanga indlebe yenu ukuthi lizwe;
5 I mai la lakou, E huli hou kela mea keia mea, mai kona aoao hewa mai, a mai ka hewa mai o ka oukou hana ana, a e noho hoi i ka aina a Iehova i haawi mai ai ia oukou, a i ko oukou poe makua, a hiki a kau, a hiki loa aku.
besithi: Phendukani khathesi ngulowo lalowo endleleni yakhe embi, lebubini bezenzo zenu, lihlale elizweni iNkosi elinike lina laboyihlo kusukela nininini kuze kube nininini;
6 A mai hele hoi mamuli o na akua e, e malama ia lakou, a e hoomana ia lakou; a mai hoonaukiuki mai oukou ia'u i na hana a ko oukou mau lima; alaila, aole au e hana ino ia oukou.
njalo lingalandeli abanye onkulunkulu ukubasebenzela lokubakhonza, lingangithukuthelisi ngomsebenzi wezandla zenu; khona ngingayikulenzela okubi.
7 Aka, aole oukou i hoolohe mai ia'u, wahi a Iehova, i hoonaukiuki mai oukou ia'u i na hana a ko oukou mau lima, i mea e hewa'i oukou.
Kodwa kalingilalelanga, itsho iNkosi, ukuze lingithukuthelise ngomsebenzi wezandla zenu, kuze kube kubi kini.
8 Nolaila, ke olelo mai o Iehova o na kaua; No ko oukou hoolohe ole i ka'u mau olelo,
Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Ngenxa yokuthi lingawalalelanga amazwi ami,
9 Aia hoi, e hoouna au, a lawe mai i na ohana kanaka a pau o ke kukulu akau, wahi a Iehova, a me Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona, ka'u kauwa, a e lawe mai au ia lakou e ku e i keia aina, a e ku e i kolaila poe kanaka, a e ku e hoi i keia mau lahuikanaka a pau e puni ana, a e luku loa ia lakou, a hoolilo ia lakou i mea e pilihua ai, a i mea e hoowahawaha ai, a i neoneo mau loa.
khangela, ngizathuma, ngilande zonke izinsapho zenyakatho, itsho iNkosi, lakuNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni inceku yami, ngibalethe bamelane lalelilizwe bamelane labakhileyo balo, bamelane lazo zonke lezizizwe inhlangothi zonke, ngibatshabalalise, ngibenze babe yisesabiso, babe ngokuncifelwayo, babe zincithakalo ezilaphakade.
10 A e lawe no wau, mai o lakou aku, i ka leo o ka olioli, a me ka leo o ka hauoli, i ka leo o ke kane mare, a me ka leo o ka wahine mare, i ke kani ana o na pohaku kaapalaoa, a me ka malamalama o ke kukui.
Futhi ngizaphelisa ngisuse kubo ilizwi lentokozo lelizwi lenjabulo, ilizwi lomyeni lelizwi likamakoti, umsindo wamatshe okuchola, lokukhanya kwesibane.
11 A e lilo no keia aina a pau i neoneo, a i mea e pilihua'i. A e hookauwa aku ko keia mau aina na ke alii o Babulona, i kanahiku makahiki.
Lelizwe lonke leli lizakuba lunxiwa libe yisesabiso; lalezizizwe zizasebenzela inkosi yeBhabhiloni iminyaka engamatshumi ayisikhombisa.
12 A hiki i ka manawa i hala'e na makahiki he kanahiku, alaila, e hoopai aku au i ke alii o Babulona, a me ia lahuikanaka, wahi a Iehova, no ko lakou hewa, a i ka aina hoi o ko Kaledea, a e hoolilo no wau ia wahi, i neoneo mau loa.
Kuzakuthi-ke iminyaka engamatshumi ayisikhombisa isiphelele ngijezise inkosi yeBhabhiloni lalesosizwe, itsho iNkosi, ngobubi babo, lelizwe lamaKhaladiya, ngilenze libe ngamanxiwa laphakade.
13 A e lawe aku au maluna o ia aina i ka'u mau olelo a pau a'u i hai ku e ia ia, i na mea a pau hoi i kakauia maloko o ka buke a Ieremia i wanana ai e ku e i na aina a pau.
Ngehlisele phezu kwalelolizwe wonke amazwi ami engawakhuluma ngimelene lalo, konke okubhaliweyo kulolugwalo, uJeremiya akuprofethayo ngazo zonke izizwe.
14 No ka mea, e hookauwa aku lakou na na lahuikanaka he nui, a na na'lii kaulana no hoi. A e hoouku no wau ia lakou, e like me ka lakou hana ana, a e like hoi me na hana a ko lakou lima iho.
Ngoba izizwe ezinengi lamakhosi amakhulu zizabasebenzisa bona uqobo; njalo ngizabaphindisela njengokwenza kwabo lanjengokomsebenzi wezandla zabo.
15 No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela ia'u penei; E lawe oe i ke kiaha waina o keia ukiuki ma kuu lima, a e hoohainu aku ia i na lahuikanaka a pau a'u e hoouna aku ai ia oe io lakou la.
Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli kimi: Thatha inkezo yewayini yalolulaka esandleni sami, wenze zonke izizwe engikuthuma kuzo ziyinathe.
16 A e inu no lakou, a e haalulu no, a e hehena iho, imua o ka pahikaua a'u e hoouna aku ai iwaena o lakou.
Njalo zizanatha, zidiyazele, zihlanye, ngenxa yenkemba engizayithuma phakathi kwazo.
17 A lawe iho la au i ke kiaha ma ka lima o Iehova, hoohainu aku la i na lahuikanaka a pau a Iehova i hoouna mai ai ia'u ia lakou:
Ngasengithatha inkezo esandleni seNkosi, nganathisa zonke izizwe iNkosi eyayingithume kizo,
18 Ia Ierusalema hoi, a i na kulanakauhale o Iuda, a i kona poe alii, a i kona poe kaukaualii, e haawi hoi ia lakou no ka hooneoneoia, i mea e pilihua ai, a i mea hoowahawaha, a i mea e poino ai, e like me ia i keia la;
iJerusalema, lemizi yakoJuda, lamakhosi ayo, leziphathamandla zayo, ukubenza babe yincithakalo, babe yisesabiso, babe yinto yokuncifelwa, babe yisiqalekiso, njengalamuhla;
19 Ia Parao i ke alii o Aigupita, a i kana poe kauwa, a i kana poe alii, a i kona poe kanaka a pau;
uFaro inkosi yeGibhithe, lezinceku zakhe, leziphathamandla zakhe, labantu bakhe bonke;
20 A i na malihini a pau, a i na a'lii o ka aina o Uza, a i na'lii a pau o na aina o ko Pilisetia, a me Asekelona, a me Aza, a me Ekerona, a me ke koena o Asedoda;
labo bonke abaxubeneyo, lawo wonke amakhosi elizwe leUzi, lawo wonke amakhosi elizwe lamaFilisti, leAshikeloni, leGaza, leEkhironi, lensali yeAshidodi;
21 Ia Edoma, a me Moaba, a me na mamo a Amona;
iEdoma, loMowabi, labantwana bakoAmoni;
22 I na'lii a pau o Turo, ai na'lii a pau o na aina o Zidona, a i na'lii o na aina ma kela aoao o ke kai;
lawo wonke amakhosi eTire, lawo wonke amakhosi eSidoni, lamakhosi ezihlenge ezingaphetsheya kolwandle;
23 Ia Dedana, a me Tema, a me Buza, a me na mea a pau ma na mokuna loihi loa aku;
iDedani, leTema, leBuzi, labo bonke abaqunywe ezingonsini;
24 A i na'lii a pau o Arabia, a i na'lii a pau o na malihini e noho ana ma ka waonahele;
lamakhosi wonke eArabhiya, lamakhosi wonke abantu abaxubeneyo abahlala enkangala;
25 A i na'lii a pau o Zimeri, a i na'lii a pau o Elama, a i na'lii a pau o Media;
lamakhosi wonke eZimri, lamakhosi wonke eElamu, lamakhosi wonke eMede;
26 A i na'lii a pau o ke kukuluakau, ma kahi loihi aku, a ma kahi kokoke mai, kekahi i kekahi, a i na aupuni a pau o keia ao, maluna o ka honua nei; a e inu ke alii, o Sesaka mahope o lakou.
lawo wonke amakhosi enyakatho, aseduze lakhatshana, omunye lomunye, layo yonke imibuso yomhlaba, esebusweni bomhlaba; lenkosi yeSheshaki izanatha emva kwabo.
27 A e olelo no oe ia lakou, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela peneia; E inu oukou a ona, a e luai aku, a e hina, aole hoi e ala hou, no ka pahikaua a'u e hoouna aku ai iwaena o oukou.
Ubususithi kibo: Itsho njalo INkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Nathani lidakwe, lihlanze, liwe, lingasukumi, ngenxa yenkemba engizayithuma phakathi kwenu.
28 A ina hoole lakou aole lawe i ke kiaha ma kou lima e inu ai, alaila, e olelo oe ia lakou, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua penei; E inu io auanei oukou.
Kuzakuthi-ke lapho besala ukuthatha inkezo esandleni sakho ukuthi banathe, uthi kibo: Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Lizanatha isibili.
29 No ka mea, aia hoi, ke hoomaka nei au e lawe mai i ka hewa maluna o ke kulanakauhale i kapaia ma ko'u inoa, a e hoopai ole loa ia anei oukou? Aole ole ko oukou hoopaiia; no ka mea, e hea aku no wau i ka pahikaua, e hele ae maluna o ka poe a pau e noho la ma ka honua, wahi a Iehova o na kaua.
Ngoba khangela, ngiyaqala ukwenza okubi emzini obizwa ngebizo lami, lina-ke belizakuba ngabangelacala isibili yini? Kaliyikuba ngabangelacala; ngoba ngizabizela inkemba phezu kwabo bonke abakhileyo bomhlaba, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
30 A e wanana ku e oe ia lakou i keia mau olelo a pau, a e olelo ia lakou, E uwo mai no o Iehova, mailuna mai, a e haawi mai oia i kona leo, mai kahi e noho ai kona hemolelo mai; e uwo nui loa oia maluna o kona wahi noho ai; e like me ka poe hahi, pela no oia e hooho ai e ku e i ka poe e noho la ma ka honua.
Wena-ke profetha wonke lamazwi umelene labo, uthi kubo: INkosi izabhonga iphezulu, iphumise ilizwi layo isendaweni yayo engcwele; izabhonga kakhulu phezu kwendawo yayo yokuhlala, imemeze iphendule njengabanyathela izithelo zevini, imelene labo bonke abakhileyo bomhlaba.
31 E hiki mai no ka uwalaau, mai na kukulu mai o ka honua; no ka mea, he paio no ka Iehova me ko na aina, e hooponopono no oia maluna o na mea io a pau; e haawi no hoi oia i ka poe hewa i ka pahikaua, wahi a Iehova.
Umsindo uzafika emkhawulweni womhlaba; ngoba iNkosi ilempikisano lezizwe, izakwehlulela yonke inyama; abakhohlakeleyo izabanikela enkembeni, itsho iNkosi.
32 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua penei, Aia hoi, e puka no ka hewa, mai kekahi aina, a i kekahi aina; a e hoalaia ka puahiohio, mai na kukulu o ka honua mai.
Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Khangela, ububi buzaphuma esizweni busiya esizweni, lesivunguzane esikhulu sizavuswa sisuka ezinhlangothini zomhlaba.
33 A i kela la, e palahalaha auanei ka poe i pepehiia e Iehova, mai kekahi kukulu o ka honua, a i kekahi kukulu: aole lakou e kumakenaia, aole hoi e hoiliiliia, aole e kanuia; e lilo lakou i lepo maluna o ka aina.
Langalolosuku ababuleweyo beNkosi bazasukela komunye umkhawulo womhlaba baze bafike komunye umkhawulo; kabayikulilelwa, kabayikubuthwa, kabayikungcwatshwa; bazakuba ngumquba phezu kobuso bomhlaba.
34 E aoa oukou, e na kahuhipa, a e uwe aku; a e kapi ia oukou iho i ka lehu, e ka poe malama hipa; no ka mea, ua lawa ko oukou mau la o ka pepehi, a me ka hoopuehu, a e haule no oukou, e like me ke kiaha maikai.
Qhinqani isililo, belusi, likhale, lizibhuqe emlotheni, zikhulu zomhlambi; ngoba izinsuku zokuhlatshwa lezokuhlakazeka kwenu zigcwalisekile, njalo lizakuwa njengesitsha esiloyisekayo.
35 Aohe wahi no na kahuhipa e pee aku ai; aohe wahi hoi e pakele ai ka malama hipa.
Lokubaleka kuzaphela kubelusi, lokuphunyuka kuzikhulu zomhlambi.
36 He leo hoi no ka uwe ana o na kahuhipa, a me ka aoa ana o ka poe malama hipa, no ka mea, ua anai o Iehova i ko lakou wahi e ai ai.
Kuzakuba lelizwi lokukhala kwabelusi lokuqhinqa isililo kwezikhulu zomhlambi; ngoba iNkosi izachitha idlelo labo.
37 Ua hoopauia ko lakou wahi e noho ai me ka malu, no ka ukiuki nui o Iehova.
Lezibaya ezilokuthula zizachithwa ngenxa yokuvutha kolaka lweNkosi.
38 Ua haalele oia i kona wahi huna me he liona la; no ka mea, ua neoneo ko lakou aina, no ka huhu nui o ka mea hookaumaha, a no kona ukiuki loa.
Itshiyile ubhalu lwayo njengesilwane esitsha, ngoba ilizwe labo seliyincithakalo ngenxa yokuvutha komcindezeli, langenxa yokuvutha kolaka lwayo.
