< Ieremia 43 >
1 A I ka hoopau ana o Ieremia e olelo aku i na kanaka a pau, i na olelo a pau a Iehova ko lakou Akua, i na mea a Iehova ko lakou Akua i hoouna mai ai ia ia io lakou la, i keia mau olelo hoi,
Kwathi uJeremiya eseqedile ukutshela abantu wonke amazwi kaThixo uNkulunkulu wabo, konke uThixo ayemthume ukuthi abatshele khona,
2 Alaila, olelo mai la o Azaria, ke keiki a Hosaia, a me Iohanana, ke keiki a Karea, a me na kanaka hookiekie a pau, i mai la ia Ieremia, Ke olelo wahahee mai nei oe; aole i hoouna mai nei o Iehova ko makou Akua ia oe, e olelo, Mai hele i Aigupita e noho malaila;
u-Azariya indodana kaHoshayiya, loJohanani indodana kaKhareya labo bonke abantu abazigqajayo bathi kuJeremiya, “Uqamba amanga! UThixo uNkulunkulu wethu kakuthumanga ukuba uthi, ‘Akumelanga liye eGibhithe ukuyahlala khona.’
3 Aka, ke hooikaika mai nei o Baruka, ke keiki a Neria ia oe e ku e ia makou, e haawi hoi ia makou iloko o ka lima o ko Kaledea, i pepehi mai lakou ia makou, a lewepio hoi ia makou i Babulona.
Kodwa uBharukhi indodana kaNeriya uyakutshotshozela ukuba usinikele kumaKhaladiya ukuba asibulale kumbe asise ekuthunjweni eBhabhiloni.”
4 Aole i hoolohe o Iohanana, ke keiki a Karea, a me na luna a pau o ka poe koa, a me na kanaka a pau, i ka leo o Iehova, e noho ma ka aina o ka Iuda.
Ngakho uJohanani indodana kaKhareya lazozonke izikhulu zebutho kanye labantu bonke kabalilalelanga ilizwi likaThixo lokuthi bahlale elizweni lakoJuda.
5 A o Iohanana ke keiki a Karea, a me na luna o ka poe koa, lawe lakou i ke koena o ka Iuda, ka poe i hoi mai, mai na aina a pau mai kahi a lakou i kipakuia'ku ai, a ua hoi mai e noho ma ka aina o ka Iuda:
Esikhundleni salokho, uJohanani indodana kaKhareya lezikhulu zonke zebutho bathatha bonke ababesele koJuda ababebuyele koJuda ukuyahlala khona bevela ezizweni zonke ababekade behlakazelwe kuzo.
6 I na kane, a me na wahine, a me na kamalii, a me na kaikamahine a ke alii, a me na kanaka a pau a Nebuzaredana, na ka lunakaua i waiho pu ai me Gedalia, ke keiki a Ahikama, ke keiki a Sapana, a me Ieremia ke kaula, a me Baruka, i ke keiki a Neria.
Bathatha lamadoda wonke, labesifazane bonke kanye labantwana bonke, lamadodakazi enkosi lawo uNebhuzaradani umlawuli wabalindi ayewatshiye loGedaliya indodana ka-Ahikhami, indodana kaShafani, loJeremiya umphrofethi kanye loBharukhi indodana kaNeriya.
7 A hele mai lakou i ka aina o Aigupita, no ka mea, aole lakou i hoolohe i ka leo o Iehova; a hele lakou i Tahepanesa.
Ngakho bangena eGibhithe bedelela uThixo, bahamba baze bayafika eThahiphanesi.
8 Alaila, hiki mai ka olelo a Iehova io Ieremia la, ma Tahepanesa, i mai la,
Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kuJeremiya eThahiphanesi lisithi,
9 E lawe oe i mau pohaku nui ma kou lima, a e huna ia mau mea maloko o ka lepo ma ka puu pohaku lepo, aia ma ke komo ana o ka hale o Parao, ma Tahepanesa; imua o na maka o na kanaka o ka Iuda;
“Thatha amatshe amakhulu uwagqibele enhlabathini endaweni egandelwe ngezitina, amaJuda bekhangele, esangweni lesigodlo sikaFaro eThahiphanesi,
10 A e i aku no hoi ia lakou, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, penei; Aia hoi, e hoouna aku no wau a e lawe mai ia Nebukaueza, i ke alii o Babulona, i ka'u kanwa, a e kau no wau i kona nohoalii maluna o keia mau pohaku, a'u i huna'i; a e kaulai oia i kona paku alii maluna o ia mau mea.
uthi kubo, ‘UThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi: Ngizabiza inceku yami uNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, njalo ngizabeka isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi phezu kwamatshe la engiwambele lapha; uzakwendlala ithente lakhe lobukhosi phezu kwawo.
11 A hiki mai oia, e anai no oia i ka aina o Aigupita, a make ka poe no ka make, a pio ka poe no ka noho pio ana, a lilo i ka pahikaua ka poe no ka pahikaua.
Uzakuza ahlasele iGibhithe, alethe ukufa kulabo abamiselwe ukufa, lokuthunjwa kulabo abamiselwe ukuthunjwa, lenkemba kulabo abamiselwe inkemba.
12 A e hoaa no wau i ke ahi maloko o na hale o na akua o Aigupita; a e puhi no oia ia mau mea, a e lawe pio aku ia lakou; a e aahu no oia ia ia iho i ka aina o Aigupita, e like me ka ke kahuhipa aahu ana i kona lole; a e hele aku oia malaila aku me ka maluhia.
Uzawathungela ngomlilo amathempeli abonkulunkulu bamaGibhithe; uzawatshisa amathempeli abo athumbe labonkulunkulu bawo. Njengomelusi ezithandela ngesembatho sakhe, ngokunjalo laye uzazithandela ngeGibhithe asuke khona engalimalanga.
13 E wawahi no hoi oia i na kii o Betesemesa, aia ma ka aina o Aigupita: a e puhi no hoi oia i na hale kii o ko Aigupita, i ke ahi.
Khonale eGibhithe, ethempelini lelanga, uzadiliza izinsika ezikhonzwayo njalo uzatshisa amathempeli abonkulunkulu beGibhithe.’”
