1 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Jeremaia'na nasami'ne.
Leli yilizwi elafika kuJeremiya livela kuThixo lisithi:
2 Kagra mopa kavoma tro nehia ne'mofo nontega uramige'na, anante Nagra nanekeni'a kasami'neno.
“Suka wehlele endlini yombumbi, lapho engizakutshelela khona ilizwi lami.”
3 Anage hige'na nagra mopa kavoma tro nehia nemofo nontega urami'na ome koana, kagikagi nehigeno mopa kavoma tro'ma nehia zante ana ne'mo'a mago kavo tro nehige'na ke'noe.
Ngakho ngehlela endlini yombumbi, ngambona esebenza ngevili.
4 Hianagi mopa kavoma tro nehia ne'mo'ma keana ana kavomo'a agrama antahi'nea kantera forera osigeno, anama tro'ma nehia mopa kavoa ete eri regripeteno agrama antahi'nea kante ete ru kavo tro hu'ne.
Kodwa imbiza ayeyibumba ngebumba yonakala ezandleni zakhe; ngakho umbumbi wayenza yaba ngenye imbiza, ngendlela ayibona ingcono kuye.
5 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nanekea nasami'ne.
Ilizwi likaThixo laselifika kimi lisithi;
6 Tamagra Israeli vahe'motama Nagriku'ma antahi'zana, mopa kavoma tro'ma nehia nemo'ma mopa kavore'ma hiazana tagritera osugahie huta nehazafi? Tamagra Israeli vahe'mota mopa kavoma tro'ma nehia ne'mofo azampima, higo mopama meaza huta, Nagri nazampi mani'naze.
“Wena ndlu ka-Israyeli, ngingeze ngenza kuwe njengokwenziwa ngumbumbi lo na?” kutsho uThixo. “Njengebumba esandleni sombumbi lawe unjalo esandleni sami, wena ndlu ka-Israyeli.
7 Hianagi Nagra mago'a zupa huama hu'na, mago mopafi vaheku'ene mago kinimo'ma kegavama hu'nesia mopafi vaheku'ma hu'na, zamazeri haviza nehu'na zamavare atregahuema hanuge'zama,
Nxa ngimemezela langasiphi isikhathi ukuthi isizwe loba umbuso uzasuswa udilizwe, uchithwe,
8 ana koro kema huzamisanua mopafi vahe'mo'zama kefo avu'ava zama tro'ma nehaza zama atresage'na, Nagrama zamazeri haviza hugahue hu'nama hu'noa zana osugahue.
kuthi isizwe leso engisixwayisileyo siphenduke ebubini baso, ngizaxola ngingabe ngisasehlisela ebesengimise ukusehlisela khona.
9 Hagi Nagra mago'a zupa huama hu'na, mago mopafi vaheku'ene mago kinimo'ma kegavama hu'nesia mopafi vahekura hu'na, tamazeri so'e hanugeta hankavetita manigahaze hanuge'za,
Njalo nxa ngesinye isikhathi ngimemezela ukuthi isizwe kumbe umbuso ngizawakha ngiwumise,
10 ana nanekema antahi'za amage'ma nonte'za, Nagri navufima kefo avu'ava zama hanage'na, tamazeri knare hugahue hu'nama huvempama hu'noa zana osugahue.
ube ususenza ububi emehlweni ami njalo ungangilaleli, ngizacabanga kutsha ngokuhle ebesengicebe ukukwenzela khona.
11 E'ina hu'negu Jeremaiaga vunka Juda vahe'ene Jerusalemi vahera Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno koro kea hie hunka ome zamasamio. Tamagri'ma tamazeri knare'ma huga zana atre'na tamazeri haviza hugahuanki, makamota kefo avu'ava zama nehaza zana atreta fatgo avu'ava'za hiho.
Ngakho khathesi tshela abantu bakoJuda lalabo abahlala eJerusalema uthi, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: Khangelani! Ngilungisela ukulehlisela umonakalo njalo ngibumba lecebo ngani. Ngakho phendukani ezindleleni zenu ezimbi, omunye lomunye wenu, lilungise izindlela zenu lezenzo zenu.’
12 Hianagi ana vahe'mo'za anage hu'za kenona hugantegahaze. Kagrama nehana nanekea antahi nonkamune. Tagra nazano hunaku'ma hanuna zana, keka'a ontahi tagri tagu'amo'ma hihoma hania havi avu'ava zana huta vugahune.
Kodwa bazaphendula bathi, ‘Akusizi lutho. Sizaqhubeka ngamacebo ethu; lowo lalowo wethu uzalandela ubulukhuni benhliziyo yakhe embi.’”
13 E'ina hu'nagu Ra Anumzamo'a huno, amanahu kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza zamofo agenkea mago'a vahe'mo'za nehazageta antahi'nazo hunka ome zamantahigenka ko. Israeli vahe'mo'za Nagri navurera vene omase mofakna hu'nazanagi, menina haviza huno kefozantfa hu'nea avu'ava'za hu'naze.
Ngakho uThixo uthi: “Buzani phakathi kwezizwe ukuthi: Ngubani owake wezwa okunjengalokhu na? Kwenziwe into eyesabekayo kakhulu, yenziwe yintombi egcweleyo u-Israyeli.
14 Hagi mago'a knafina Lebanonima me'nea havege agonaramimpintira aisimo'a ze'zera huno hagegea hugafi? Hifi ana agonaramimpinti'ma zasi nentake tintamima hanati'zama eneramiza timo'za tane'za hagegea hugahazafi? I'o anara nosaze.
Ungqwaqwane waseLebhanoni uyake unyamalale emithezukweni yayo elamatshe na? Amanzi akhona aqandayo avela kude ayake eme ukugeleza na?
15 Hianagi Nagri vahe'mo'za nagrikura zamagenekani'za, vu'za kaza osu havi anumzaraminte mnanentake zantamina ome kremana vu'naze. E'inama haza zamo hige'za traka hu'za korapa'ma knare hu'negeza'ma neaza kana eme atre'naze. Ana hute'za menina haviza huno hapake hu'nea kante nevaze.
Kodwa abantu bami sebengikhohliwe; batshisela izithombe eziyize impepha, ezabenza bakhubeka ezindleleni zabo lasemikhondweni yasendulo. Zabenza bahamba ngezindledlana zeganga lasemigwaqweni engalungiswanga.
16 E'ina hu'nazagu huno mopa zamimo'a haviza hina ka'ma koka fore huteno mago avame'za megahie. Ana hu'nesanige'za maka zupa kante'ma vanoma hanaza vahe'mo'zama nege'za, antri huza zamagena rugahaze.
Ilizwe labo lizatshabalaliswa, into yokuhlekwa usulu; bonke abadlula khona bazakwethuka banyikinye amakhanda abo.
17 Hagi ha' vahe'zamimo'za negesage'na zage hanati kazigati zahomo'ma eno kugusopama eri harafi'ma huno viaza hu'na zamazeri panani hanuge'za ufre efre hugahaze. Ana nehu'na knazama erisazana Nagra namefi hunezami'na, knazamo'ma zamazeri havizama haniana, rukrahera hu'na ozamagegahue.
Njengomoya ovela empumalanga, ngizabahlakaza phambi kwezitha zabo; ngizabafulathela ngibancitshe ubuso bami ngosuku lokuhlupheka kwabo.”
18 Hagi anante veamo'za amanage hu'naze. Enketa mago'a kanku haketa Jeremaiama azeri havizama hanuna nanekea oku retro hamneno. Tagranena rama'a pristi vahe manizageno, knare antahi'zane vahe'ene kasnampa vahe'enena rama'a mani nazankita agrira antahi omi'none. E'ina hu'negu agrama nanekema rempi huneramino antahintahi neramino, kasnampa nanekema tasami'zankura tavesra hunentone. Enketa nanekereti azeri haviza nehuta, agrama hania nanekea ontahisanune hu'naze.
Bona bathi, “Wozani sicebe amacebo amabi ngoJeremiya; ngoba ukufundisa kwabaphristi umthetho akusoze kuphuthe, kumbe ukweluleka kwezihlakaniphi, loba ilizwi elivela kubaphrofethi. Ngakho wozani, simhlasele ngemilomo yethu singananzi lutho alutshoyo.”
19 Hagi anante nagra anage hu'noe. Ra Anumzamoka nagri nunamuna antahinamio. Ana nehunka nagri'ma ha'ma renenantaza vahe'mo'zama nehaza nanekea antahio!
Ake ungizwe, awu Thixo; ulalele okutshiwo yizitha zami!
20 Knare avu'ava zama hua zantera nona hu'za havi avu'ava zanteti mizana nami'za nehazafi? Na'ankure zamagra nagrira nahenaku keri kafinte'naze. Kagri kavuga nagra oti'nena karimpa ahenezamantenka zamazeri haviza osuogu'ma memema hu'na kantahige'noa zankura kagera okanio.
Okuhle kuphindiselwa ngokubi na? Ikanti sebengimbele igodi. Khumbula ukuba ngema phambi kwakho ngabakhulumela ukuba ususe ulaka lwakho kubo.
21 Ana hu'negu zamatrege'za ana vahe'mokizmi mofavre naga'mo'za zamagaku hu'za nefrisage'za, mago'a vahera ha' vahe'mo'za e'za bainati kazinteti eme zamahe friho. Vene'ne naga'ene mofavre naga'enena eme zamahe vagaresnage'za a'nezmimo'za mofavrea onte kento a'nene maniho. Zamatrege'za ranra vahera kri eri'za nefrisagenka, nehazaveramina zamatrege'za bainati kazinteti hapi zamahe friho.
Ngakho-ke abantwababo banikele endlaleni; ubaqhubele emandleni enkemba. Abafazi babo kabangabi labantwana njalo babe ngabafelokazi; amadoda abo kawabulawe, amajaha akhona abulawe ngenkemba empini.
22 Ha' vahe'mokizmi sondia vahe'mo'zama nozamifima ame hu'zama emarerisage'za, tusi koro nehu'za nozamifintira krafage hugahaze. Na'ankure nagrama uramisua kerima kafinente'za, kama vanufima krifuma anagi ante'nazagu anara hugahaze.
Kakuzwakale ukukhala ezindlini zabo, lapho usulethe abahlaseli ukuba babajume, ngoba sebegebhe igodi ukuba bangithumbe njalo bathiya inyawo zami ngemijibila.
23 Hianagi Ra Anumzamoka nagri'ma nahe fri'naku'ma kema retro'ma hu'nazana kagra ko antahi'nane. E'ina hu'negu ana kefozazamine kumi'zaminena atre ozamantenka krimpa ahenezamantenka nezmagege'za ru vahe'mo'za e'za eme zamazeri haviza hiho.
Kodwa uyawazi, wena Thixo, wonke amaqhinga abo okungibulala. Ungabathetheleli amacala abo loba ucitshe izono zabo phambi kobuso bakho. Kabachithwe phambi kwakho; bahlasele ngesikhathi sokuthukuthela kwakho.
