Ieremia 38
1 A LOHE o Sepatia, ke keiki a Matania, a me Gedalia ke keiki a Pasura, a me Iukala, ke keiki a Selemia, a me Pasura, ke keiki a Malekia, i na olelo a Ieremia i olelo ai i na kanaka a pau, i ka I ana ae,
UShefathiya indodana kaMathani, loGedaliya indodana kaPhashuri, uJewukhali indodana kaShelemiya, loPhashuri indodana kaMalikhija bakuzwa uJeremiya ayekutshela abantu bonke esithi,
2 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, O ka mea hoomau i kona noho ana ma keia kulanakauhale, e make no ia i ka pahikaua, a i ka wi, a i ka mai ahulau. Aka, o ka mea hele aku i ko Kaledea, e ola ia; no ka mea, e haawiia kona ola i waiwaipio nona, a e ola ia.
“UThixo uthi: ‘Lowo ozasala kulelidolobho uzabulawa yinkemba, yindlala kumbe yisifo; kodwa lowo ozakuya kumaKhaladiya uzasila. Uzaphunyuka lokuphila kwakhe; uzaphila.’
3 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei, Oiaio no, e haawiia keia kulanakauhale iloko o ka lima o ka poe kaua o ke alii o Babulona, a na lakou e hoopio ia wahi.
Njalo uThixo uthi: ‘Idolobho leli lizanikelwa impela ebuthweni lenkosi yaseBhabhiloni ezalithumba.’”
4 Nolaila, olelo ae la na'lii i ke alii nui, Ke nonoi aku nei makou ia oe, e make keia kanaka; no ka mea, pela oia e hoonawaliwali nei i na lima o na kanaka kaua, ka poe e koe nei ma keia kulanakauhale, a me ka lima o na kanaka a pau, i kana olelo ana ia lakou i na olelo e like me ia: no ka mea, aole imi keia kanaka i ka mea e maluhia ai keia poe kanaka, aka, i ka mea e poino ai.
Izikhulu zasezisithi enkosini, “Umuntu lo kumele abulawe. Wenza amabutho asala kulelidolobho aphelelwe lithemba, kanye labantu bonke, ngenxa yezinto azitshoyo kubo. Umuntu lo kadingi okuhle kwabantu laba, kodwa ukubhujiswa kwabo.”
5 Alaila, olelo ae la o Zedekia, ke alii, Aia hoi, aia no ia iloko o ko oukou mau lima; no ka mea, aole hiki i ke alii ke hana i kekahi mea ku e ia oukou.
UZedekhiya inkosi waphendula wathi, “Usezandleni zenu. Inkosi ingeke yenze lutho ukuba iliphikise.”
6 Alaila, lalau mai la lakou ia Ieremia, a hahao ae la ia ia iloko o ka luawai o Malekia ke keiki a ke alii, ma ke kahua o ka halepaahao; a kuu iho la lakou ia Ieremia ilalo ma na kaula. Aohe wai iloko o ka luawai, he nenelu nae, a poho o Ieremia iloko o ka nenelu.
Ngakho bamthatha uJeremiya bamfaka emgodini kaMalikhija, indodana yenkosi, owawusegumeni labalindi. UJeremiya bamehlisela phansi phakathi komgodi ngemichilo; wawungelamanzi, kuludaka kuphela, ngakho uJeremiya watshona edakeni.
7 A lohe o Ebedemeleka, ka Aitiopa, he mea no ka hale o ke alii i poaia, ua hahao lakou ia Ieremia iloko o ka luawai; e noho ana no ke alii ma ka pukapa o Beniamina;
Kodwa u-Ebhedi-Meleki, umKhushi, isikhulu endlini yobukhosi, wezwa ukuthi basebefake uJeremiya emgodini. Kwathi-ke inkosi ihlezi eSangweni lakoBhenjamini,
8 Alaila, hele ae la o Ebedemeleka mailoko aku o ka hale o ke alii, a olelo ae la i ke alii, i ae la,
u-Ebhedi-Meleki waphuma esigodlweni wathi kuyo,
9 E kuu haku, e ke alii, ua hana hewa keia poe kauaka, ma na mea a pau a lakou i hana aku ai ia Ieremia, i ke kaula, i ka mea a lakou i hoolei ai iloko o ka luawai, a e make auanei oia i ka pololi ma kahi e noho ana oia; no ka mea, aohe berena e koe ma ke kulanakauhale.
“Nkosi yami lombusi wami, abantu laba benze ububi kukho konke abakwenze kuJeremiya umphrofethi. Sebemphosele emgodini lapho azalamba khona aze afe kungaselakudla edolobheni.”
10 Alaila, kauoha ae la ke alii ia Ebedemeleka i ka Aitiopa, i ae la, E lawe oe i kanakolu kanaka me oe, mai keia wahi aku, a hapai ia Ieremia, i ke kaula, mailoko mai o ka luawai, mamua o kona make ana.
Ngakho inkosi yalaya u-Ebhedi-Meleki umKhushi yathi, “Thatha amadoda angamatshumi amathathu lapha likhuphe uJeremiya umphrofethi emgodini engakafi.”
11 Alaila, lawe o Ebedemeleka i mau kanaka me ia, a komo aku la iloko o ka hale o ke alii, malalo iho o ka waihona kala, a lawe aku la i mau welu kahiko a me na apana lole popopo, a kuu iho la ia mau mea ilalo i ka luawai io Ieremia la ma na kaula.
Ngakho u-Ebhedi-Meleki wathatha amadoda lawo waya lawo endlini engaphansi kwendlu yengcebo esigodlweni. Wathatha amanikiniki amadala lezigqoko ezigugileyo khonapho wakwehlisela phansi kuJeremiya emgodini ngemichilo.
12 Olelo mai la o Ebedemeleka, ka Aitiopa ia Ieremia, E kau oe i keia mau welu kahiko, a me na apana lole popopo ma kou mau poee, malalo o na kaula. A hana iho la o Ieremia pela.
U-Ebhedi-Meleki umKhushi wathi kuJeremiya, “Faka amanikiniki la amadala lezigqoko lezi ezigugileyo emakhwapheni akho ukuze imichilo ingakulimazi.” UJeremiya wenza njalo,
13 A huki mai la lakou ia Ieremia, ma na kaula, a lawe ia ia mawaho aku o ka luawai. A noho o Ieremia ma ke kahua o ka hale paahao.
basebemdonsela phezulu ngemichilo, bamkhupha emgodini. UJeremiya wahlala egumeni labalindi.
14 Alaila, hoouna mai la o Zedekia, ke alii, a lawe ae la ia Ieremia, i ke kaula io na la ma ke keena komo ekolu, aia ma ka hale o Iehova; a i mai la ke alii ia Ieremia, E ninau ana au ia oe i kekahi mea, mai huna iki mai oe ia'u.
Inkosi uZedekhiya wabiza uJeremiya umphrofethi wasiwa entubeni yesithathu yethempeli likaThixo. Inkosi yasisithi kuJeremiya, “Ngizakubuza okuthize. Ungangifihleli lutho.”
15 I aku la o Ieremia ia Zedekia, Oiaio anei, ina hai aku au ia oe, aole anei oe e pepehi mai ia'u? A ina ao aku au ia oe, aole anei e hoolohe mai ia'u?
UJeremiya wathi kuZedekhiya, “Ngingakuphendula kawuyikungibulala na? Loba ngingakweluleka, kawuyikungilalela.”
16 Alaila, hoohiki malu o Zedekia, ke alii ia Ieremia, i mai la, Ma ko Iehova ola ana, ma ka mea nana i hana i keia uhane no kaua, aole au e pepehi ia oe, aole hoi au e haawi aku ia oe iloko o ka lima o keia poe kanaka e imi nei i kou ola.
Kodwa inkosi uZedekhiya wafunga isifungo lesi ngasese kuJeremiya, wathi, “Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ekhona, yena owasinika ukuphefumula, angiyikukubulala loba ngikunikele kulabo abafuna ukukubulala.”
17 Alaila, hai aku la o Ieremia ia Zedekia, Ke i mai nei o Iehova ke Akua o na kaua, ke Akua o Iseraela, penei; Ina hele io aku oe i na luna o ke alii o Babulona, alaila, e ola no oe, aole hoi e puhiia keia kulanakauhale; a pela no oe e ola'i, a me ko kou hale.
Lapho-ke uJeremiya wathi kuZedekhiya, “UThixo uNkulunkulu uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: ‘Ungazinikela ezikhulwini zenkosi yaseBhabhiloni, impilo yakho izaphepha njalo ledolobho leli kaliyikutshiswa ngomlilo; wena labendlu yakho lizasila.
18 Aka, ina aole oe e hele aku i na luna o ke alii o Babulona, alaila, e haawiia no keia kulanakauhale i ka lima o ko Kaledea, a e puhi no lakou i keia wahi i ke ahi, aole hoi oe e pakele mailoko aku o ko lakou lima.
Kodwa nxa ungazinikeli ezikhulwini zenkosi yaseBhabhiloni, idolobho leli lizanikelwa kumaKhaladiya azalitshisa ngomlilo; njalo wena uqobo kawuyikuphunyuka ezandleni zawo.’”
19 I mai la o Zedekia ke alii ia Ieremia, Ua makau wau i na Iudaio i haule i ko Kaledea, o haawi auanei lakou ia'u iloko o ko lakou lima, a hana ino mai lakou ia'u.
INkosi uZedekhiya wasesithi kuJeremiya, “Ngiyabesaba abakoJuda asebe kumaKhaladiya, ngoba amaKhaladiya anganginikela kubo bangiphathe kubi.”
20 I aku la o Ieremia, Aole lakou o haawi. Ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e malama i ka leo o Iehova a'u e hai aku nei ia oe; pela e pomaikai ai oe, a e ola no oe.
UJeremiya wathi, “Kabayikukunikela. Lalela uThixo ngokwenza lokhu engikutshela khona. Lapho-ke kuzakulungela, njalo lempilo yakho izaphepha.
21 A ina hoole oe, aole hele aku, eia ka olelo a Iehova ana i hoike mai ai ia'u.
Kodwa ungala ukuzinikela, nanku okuvezwe nguThixo kimi:
22 Aia hoi, o na wahine a pau i koe ma ka hale o ke alii o ka Iuda, e laweia'ku lakou i na luna o ke alii o Babulona, a e olelo no lakou, O kou mau makamaka ka i hooikaika ia oe a ua lanakila lakou maluna ou, a ua poho kou mau wawae ilalo i ka lepo, a ua hele hope laua.
Bonke abesifazane abasele endlini yobukhosi yenkosi yakoJuda bazakhutshelwa phandle ezikhulwini zenkosi yaseBhabhiloni bathi kuwe: ‘Bakukhohlisile bakwehlula abangane bakho abathenjiweyo. Inyawo zakho zitshonile edakeni; abangane bakho bakudelile.’
23 A e lawe aku no lakou i kau mau wahine a pau, a me kau mau keiki a pau i ko Kaledea; aole oe e pakele, mai ko lakou lima aku, aka, e paa auanei oe i ka lima o ke alii o Babulona, a nau no e puhiia'i keia kulanakauhale i ke ahi.
Abafazi bakho kanye labantwana bazakhutshelwa phandle kumaKhaladiya. Lawe uqobo kawuyikuphunyuka ezandleni zawo, kodwa uzathunjwa yinkosi yaseBhabhiloni; njalo idolobho leli lizatshiswa ngomlilo.”
24 Olelo mai la o Zedekia ia Ieremia, Mai hoike aku i keia mau olelo i kekahi kanaka, alaila, aole oe e make.
UZedekhiya wasesithi kuJeremiya, “Akungabi lomuntu omazisa inkulumo le, hlezi ufe.
25 Aka, ina lohe na'lii ua kamailio pu kaua me oe, a hele mai lakou iou nei, a olelo mai ia oe, Ea, e hai mai oe ia makou i ka mea au i hai aku ai i ke alii, mai huna ia mea ia makou, alaila, aole makou e pepehi aku ia oe; a i ka mea hoi a ke alii i olelo mai ai ia oe.
Izikhulu zingezwa ukuthi ngike ngakhuluma lawe, besezisiza kuwe zithi, ‘Sitshele lokho okutshiloyo enkosini kanye lokutshiwo yinkosi kuwe; ungasifihleli funa sikubulale,’
26 Alaila, e olelo aku oe ia lakou, Nonoi aku au i ke alii i ole au e hoihoiia'ku i ka hale o Ionatana e make malaila.
wena zitshele uthi, ‘Kade ngincenga inkosi ukuthi ingangibuyiseli endlini kaJonathani ukuyafela khona.’”
27 A hele mai na'lii a pau io Ieremia la, a ninau mai la ia ia, a hai aku no oia ia lakou, e like me na olelo a pau a ke alii nui i kauoha mai ai: nolaila, haalele lakou ia ia, no ka mea, aole i ikeia ia mea.
Lakanye izikhulu zonke zaya kuJeremiya zambuza, yena wazitshela konke inkosi eyayimlaye ukuthi akutsho. Ngakho kazisatshongo lutho kuye futhi, ngoba kakho owayeyizwile inkulumo yakhe lenkosi.
28 A noho o Ieremia ma ke kahua o ka halepaahao a hiki i ka la i pio ai o Ierusalema; a malaila no oia i ka wa i pio ai o Ierusalema.
UJeremiya wahlala egumeni labalindi kwaze kwaba lusuku lokuthunjwa kweJerusalema. IJerusalema lathunjwa kanje:
