Ieremia 30
1 KA olelo i hiki mai io Ieremia la, mai o Iehova mai, i mai la,
Leli yilizwi elafika kuJeremiya livela kuThixo lisithi:
2 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela penei, i mai, E kakau oe i na olelo a pau a'u i olelo ai ia oe iloko o ka buke.
“UThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi, ‘Loba encwadini wonke amazwi engiwakhulume kuwe.
3 No ka mea, aia hoi, e hiki mai ana na la, wahi a Iehova, e hoihoi no wau i ke pio ana o ko'u poe kanaka, o ka Iseraela, a me ka Iuda, wahi a Iehova; a e hoihoi aku wau ia lakou i ka aina a'u i haawi aku ai i ko lakou poe makua, a e noho lakou ia aina.
Insuku ziyeza,’ kutsho uThixo, ‘lapho engizabuyisa abantu bami u-Israyeli loJuda bevela ekuthunjweni ngibabuyisele elizweni engalinika okhokho babo ukuba libe ngelabo,’ kutsho uThixo.”
4 Eia no na olelo a Iehova i olelo ai no ka Iseraela, a no ka Iuda.
Amazwi akhulunywa nguThixo ngo-Israyeli loJuda:
5 No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei; Ua lohe no makou i ka leo o ka pihoihoi, a me ka makau, aole o ka maluhia.
“Wathi: ‘Ukukhala kokwesaba kuzwakele, ukwesaba okukhulu, hatshi ukuthula.
6 E ninau hoi oukou, i ike oukou, ina paha e hanau ai ke kane i keiki No ke aha la wau e ike nei i kela kanaka i keia kanaka, e kau ana kona mau lima ma kona puhaka, e like me ka wahine e haakohi ana, a ua nananakea hoi na maka a pau?
Buzani libone: Indoda ingazala abantwana na? Pho kungani ngibona wonke amadoda aqinileyo ebambe izisu zawo ngezandla njengowesifazane ohelelwayo, ubuso bonke sebube mhlotshana okokufa?
7 Auwe! no ka mea, he la nui ia, aohe mea e like mea ia, o ka manawa no ia o ka popilikia o ka Iakoba; aka, e hoolaia no oia, mailoko mai o ia.
Yeka ukwesabeka okuzakuba yilolosuku! Kalukho oluzakuba njengalo. Kuzakuba yisikhathi sokuhlupheka kukaJakhobe, kodwa uzahlengwa kukho.
8 No ka mea, a hiki i kela la, wahi a Iehova o na kaua, e uhai no wau i kona auamo, mai kou a-i aku, a e moku hoi ia'u kou mau mea i paa ai, aole hoi ia e hookauwa hou na na malihini:
Ngalolosuku,’ kutsho uThixo uSomandla, ‘ngizalephula ijogwe entanyeni zabo ngiqamule lezibopho zabo; abezizweni kabasayikubagqilaza futhi.
9 Aka, e hookauwa no lakou na Iehova, ko lakou Akua, a na Davida ko lakou alii, ka mea a'u e hoala'i no lakou.
Esikhundleni salokho, bazasebenzela uThixo uNkulunkulu wabo, loDavida inkosi yabo, engizabavusela yona.
10 Nolaila, mai makau oe, e kuu kauwa, e Iakoba, wahi a Iehova, mai weliweli hoi, e ka Iseraela; no ka mea, aia hoi, e hoola no wau ia oe, mai kahi loihi aku, a i kau hua hoi, mai ka aina o ko lakou pio ana; a e hoi mai no o Iakoba, a e hoomaha no, a e maluhia, aohe mea e hoomakau ia ia.
Ngakho ungesabi, wena Jakhobe nceku yami; ungadangali, wena Israyeli,’ kutsho uThixo. ‘Ngeqiniso ngizakuhlenga ezindaweni ezikude, lenzalo yakho elizweni lokuthunjwa kwayo. UJakhobe uzakuba lokuthula futhi kanye lokuvikeleka, njalo kakho ozamenza esabe.
11 No ka mea, owau pu no me oe, wahi a Iehova, e hoola ia oe. A ina e hooki loa paha wau i ko na aina a pau, kahi a'u i hoopuehu aku ia oukou, aole wau e hooki loa ia oe; aka, e hoopai no wau ia oe ma ka pono, aole wau e kuu wale aku ia oe.
Ngilawe njalo ngizakuhlenga,’ kutsho uThixo. ‘Lanxa ngizichitha ngokupheleleyo zonke izizwe engikuhlakazela kuzo, wena angiyikukuchitha ngokupheleleyo. Ngizakuqondisa kodwa ngokufaneleyo kuphela; kangiyikukuyekela ungajeziswanga.’
12 No ka mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, He mea ola ole kou palapu, ua nui loa hoi kou eha.
UThixo uthi: ‘Isilonda sakho kaselapheki, ukulimala kwakho akupholi.
13 Aohe mea hooponopono i kou hihia, e wahi ana, aole ou laau e ola'i.
Kakho okhulumela inhloso yakho, akulamuthi wesilonda sakho, akukho kuphola kuwe.
14 Ua poina kou mau mea aloha a pau ia oe, aole lakou imi ia oe; no ka mea, ua hooeha aku au ia oe i ka eha o ka enemi, me ka paipai ana hoi o ka mea lokoino, no ka nui loa o kou hewa; ua mahuahua no kou hala.
Bonke abangane bakho sebekukhohliwe; kabalandaba lawe. Ngikutshaye njengokungenziwa yisitha ngakujezisa njengokungenziwa ngolesihluku, ngoba icala lakho likhulu kakhulu lezono zakho zinengi kakhulu.
15 No keaha la oe i kahea aku ai no kou palapu? He mea ola ole kou eha, no ka mai loa o kou hewa; i ka mahuahua ana o kou mau hala, ua hana no wau i keia mau mea ia oe.
Kungani ukhaliswa linxeba lakho, ubuhlungu bakho obungelaphekiyo na? Ngenxa yecala lakho elikhulu lezono ezinengi ngenze lezizinto kuwe.
16 Nolaila, o ka poe a pau i hoopau ia oe, e hoopauia lakou; a e hele no kela mea, keia mea o kou poe enemi a iloko o ke pio ana; a o ka poe i lawe pio i kau, e lilo lakou i waiwai pio, a o ka poe i hao i kau, e haawi no wau ia lakou i ka haoia.
Kodwa bonke abakudlayo bazadliwa; zonke izitha zakho zizathunjwa. Labo abakuphangayo bazaphangwa; bonke abakwemukayo ngizabemuka.
17 No ka mea, e hoihoi aku au i ke ola ia oe, a e hoola no wau ia oe i kou mau eha, wahi a Iehova: no ka mea, kapa aku lakou ia oe, he Kuewa, o Ziona hoi keia, ka mea imi ole ia e kekahi.
Kodwa ngizakusilisa ngipholise lamanxeba akho,’ kutsho uThixo, ‘ngoba kuthiwa ungolahliweyo, iZiyoni okungekho olendaba lalo.’
18 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei; Aia hoi, e hoihoi no wau i ke pio ana o na halelewa o Iakoba, a e lokomaikai aku au i kona mau wahi e noho ai; a e hana hou ia ke kulanakauhale maluna o kona puu iho, a e koe no ka halealii ma kona pono.
UThixo uthi: ‘Ngizavuselela inotho yasemathenteni kaJakhobe ngibe lesihawu emakhaya akhe; idolobho lizakwakhiwa kutsha emanxiweni alo, lendlu yobukhosi izakuma endaweni yayo uqobo.
19 A mailoko aku o ia e puka aku ai ka hoomaikai, a me ka leo o ka poe olioli; a e hoomahuahua wau ia lakou, aole lakou e lilo i uuku, a e hoonani wau ia lakou, aole lakou e liilii ana.
Kubo kuzavela izingoma zokubonga kanye lomsindo wokuthokoza. Ngizakwandisa amanani abo, njalo kabayikuphungulwa; ngizabenza bahlonitshwe, njalo kabayikweyiswa.
20 A e like auanei ka lakou poe keiki me ka wa mamua, a e hookupaaia ko lakou anaina imua o'u, a e hoopai no wau i ka poe a pau e hookaumaha ia lakou.
Abantwana babo bazakuba njengezinsukwini zakudala, lebandla labo lizamiselwa phambi kwami; ngizabajezisa bonke ababancindezelayo.
21 A no lakou iho auanei ko lakou poe luna, a e laha aku no ko lakou kiaaina mailoko aku o lakou; a e lawe mai no wau ia ia a kokoke, a e hookokoke mai no oia ia'u; no ka mea, owai keia i hooikaika i kona naau e hookokoke mai ia'u? wahi a Iehova.
Umkhokheli wabo uzakuba ngomunye wabakibo; umbusi wabo uzavela phakathi kwabo. Ngizamsondeza eduze, uzakuza phansi kwami, ngoba ngubani lowo ongazinikela ukuba seduze kwami na?’ kutsho uThixo.
22 A o oukou auanei ko'u poe kanaka, a owau auanei ko oukou Akua.
‘Ngakho lina lizakuba ngabantu bami, mina ngibe nguNkulunkulu wenu.’”
23 Aia hoi, ke puka aku nei ka puahiohio o Iehova me ka huhu, he puahiohio e hoopau ana; me ka eha no ia e kau ai maluna o ke poo o ka poe hewa.
Khangelani, isiphepho sikaThixo sizakhupha ulaka, umoya osasivunguzane usehlela phezu kwamakhanda ababi.
24 Aole e hoi hou ka huhu nui o Iehova, a hana oia, a hooko oia i ka makemake o kona naau. I na la mahope, e noonoo no oukou ia.
Ulaka olwesabekayo lukaThixo kaluyikudeda aze ayifeze ngokupheleleyo injongo yenhliziyo yakhe. Ensukwini ezizayo lizakuzwisisa lokhu.
