1 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Nagri vahetema kegavama nehaza kva vahe'mota, Nagri vahera zamazeri haviza nehazankita, hago hazenkefi mani'naze. Sipisipima kegavama nehaza vahe'mo'za sipisipi naga'ma repanani hazage'za hazagre'za frazankna tamagra nehaze.

“Maye kubelusi abachitha izimvu zedlelo lami njalo bezihlakaza!” kutsho uThixo.

2 E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzana Israeli vahemota Anumzamo'a ana sipisipi kva vahe'motagura amanage huno nehie. Tamagra Nagri sipisipi nagara repanani nehuta, kantera zamavare fatgo huta ovu'naze. Ana nehuta kegava hu so'e huozamante'naze. Tamagrama e'inahu havi avu'ava zama hu'naza agafare Nagra nona hu'na tamazeri haviza hugahue huno hu'ne.

Ngakho uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi kubelusi abelusa abantu bami: “Ngenxa yokuthi lina lihlakaze umhlambi wami lawuxotshela khatshana kalaze lawunaka, ngizakwehlisela isijeziso phezu kwenu ngenxa yobubi elibenzileyo,” kutsho uThixo.

3 Hagi ana'ma hute'na Nagra vaheni'ama zamazeri panani huge'zama ru moparegama umani emanima hu'nazaregatira, osi'a naga'ma ofri'ma mani'nazama'a ete zamavare tru hugahue. Ana hanuge'za ete mopa zamire e'za emanine'za mofavrea kasezmante'za hakare hu'za ome ra hugahaze.

“Mina ngokwami ngizabutha insalela zezimvu zami emazweni wonke engangizixotshele kuwo ngizibuyisele edlelweni lazo, lapho ezizazalana khona zande.

4 Hagi Nagra kasefa kva vahe zamazeri otisuga'za kegava huzmantegahaze. Ana hanuge'za mago'enena korora huge zmagogogura osugahaze. Anampintira magomo'e huno fananea osugahie huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

Ngizazilethela abelusi abazazelusa, njalo kazisayikwesaba loba zithuthumele, loba enye yazo ilahleke,” kutsho uThixo.

5 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, magokna ne-eanki'na Nagra Deviti nagapintira mago fatgo avu'ava ene kini ne' azeri otigahue. Ana hanugeno agra kinia mani'neno, knare antahi zanteti'ene fatgo avu'ava zanteti'ene fatgoma huno refkoma hu avu'avazante'ene huno agrama kegavama hania mopafi vahera kegava huzmantegahie.

UThixo uthi, “Ziyeza insuku, lapho uDavida ngizamvusela uGatsha olulungileyo, iNkosi ezabusa ngokuhlakanipha, yenze okulungileyo, lokufaneleyo elizweni.

6 Hagi agrama kinima manino kegavama hania knafina, Juda vahe'ene Israeli vahe'mo'zanena mago zankura zamagesa ontahi knare hu'za zamagu'vazi'za manigahaze. Ana hanage'za vahe'mo'za ana ne'mofo agima ahesazana, Ra Anumzamo'a tagri fatgo avu'ava zamofo agafa'a mani'ne hu'za agia ahegahaze.

Ensukwini zayo uJuda uzasindiswa, lo-Israyeli ahlale evikelekile. Ibizo azabizwa ngalo yileli elithi: UThixo Oyikulunga Kwethu.”

7 E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzamo'a huno, mago kna ne-eankita tamagra amanage huta osugahaze. Tamagerfa huno Ra Anumzana ofri mani'nea Anumzankino, Israeli vahera tavre atiramigeta Isipi mopafintira e'none huta osugahaze.

UThixo uthi, “Ngakho-ke, insuku ziyeza, lapho abantu bengasayikuthi, ‘Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ekhona, yena owakhupha u-Israyeli eGibhithe,’

8 Hianagi zamagra amanage hu'za hugahaze. Ofri kasefa huno mani'nea Ra Anumzamo'a noti kaziga mopafintira Israeli vahera zamavare atiramino ne-eno, ru moparegama zamavare trege'zama kinama ome huterema hu'naregatira ete zamavare atru hugahie. Ana hanige'za ete mopazamifi emanigahaze hu'za hugahaze.

kodwa bazakuthi, ‘Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ekhona, yena owakhipha izizukulwane zika-Israyeli elizweni elisenyakatho lakuwo wonke amazwe abaxotshela kuwo.’ Lapho-ke bazahlala elizweni labo.”

9 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma ruotage'ma hu'nea naneke'ama kasnampa vahe'ma ome zamasamio huno'ma nenasamigeno'a, tumo'nimo'a nata negrigeno zaferinani'a omne amne hu'ne. Ana nehigeno aka ti ne'neno rama'a waini ti ne'nea vahe'mo, negi nagi nehuno traka huno umasete emasete hiaza hu'noe.

Mayelana labaphrofethi: Inhliziyo yami idabukile ngaphakathi kwami; wonke amathambo ami ayaqhaqhazela. Ngifana lomuntu odakiweyo, lanjengomuntu owehlulwa liwayini, ngenxa kaThixo lamazwi akhe angcwele.

10 Hagi rumofo a'ene rumofo venema monko'zama hu avu'ava'zamo'a mopafina avitegeno, amama mani'naza mopamo'a sifnafi mani'neno kragi'nerie. Ana higeno mopamo'a hagege nehigeno, ka'ma kokampima me'nea trazamo'enena hagege hu'ne. Na'ankure kasnampa vahe'mo'za maka'zama nehaza zamo'a kumi zanke nehu'za, zamagrama eriga eri'zana hankaveti'za e'ori'naze.

Ilizwe leli ligcwele izifebe; ngenxa yesiqalekiso ilizwe lomile lamadlelo enkangala abunile. Abaphrofethi balandela indlela embi, basebenzisa amandla abo ngokungalungi.

11 Hagi mago'ene Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Kasnampa vahemo'zane pristi vahemo'zanena Nagri navu'nava zana amagera nontaze. Ana nehu'za Nagri mono nompinena havi avu'ava zana nehazage'na nezamagoe.

“Umphrofethi lomphristi kabakholwa kunkulunkulu; lasethempelini lami ngiyabufumana ububi babo,” kutsho uThixo.

12 E'ina hu'negu kama vanaza kamo'a kriri hatu hu'nea kampi vazankna nehanage'na, zamaretufe atresuge'za ome traka hu'za masegahaze. Na'ankure zamagrama hu'naza avu'ava zante'ma nonama hu'na zamazeri haviza hanua kafumo'a ne-eanki'na, knaza zamigahue huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

“Ngakho indlela yabo izatshelela; bazaxotshelwa emnyameni njalo lapho bazakuwa. Ngizabehlisela umonakalo ngomnyaka wokujeziswa kwabo,” kutsho uThixo.

13 Hagi ana nehazage'za Samelia kumate'ma nemaniza kasnampa vahe'mo'zama mago kasrino havizama hu'nea avu'ava zama hu'naza zama ke'noana, zamagra Bali havi anumzamofo agifi kasnampa kea nehu'za, Israeli vaheni'a zamavare'za havi kante vu'naze.

“Phakathi kwabaphrofethi baseSamariya ngabona into eyenyanyekayo: Baphrofetha ngoBhali njalo baholela abantu bami ekulahlekeni.

14 Hianagi Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza kasnampa vahe'mo'za zamagranena, havizama hu'nea zamavu'zmava zama nehazage'na Nagrama zamage'noana, ru vahe a'nene monko avu'avaza nehu'za, maka zupa havige kege hu'naze. Ana nehu'za havi avu'ava zama nehaza vahera hu izo huzmantage'za mago'ene havi avu'ava zana huvava nehu'za atre'za rukrahera hu'za ome'naze. Nagrama maka vahe'ma zamagoana Sodomu kumate vahe kna hu'za haviza nehazage'za, Jerusalemi kumapi vahe'mo'za Gomora kumate vahe kna hu'za haviza hu'naze.

Lakubaphrofethi baseJerusalema sengibone into eyesabekayo: Bayafeba baphile ngamanga. Baqinisa izandla zabenza okubi, ukuba kungabikhona oguquka ebubini bakhe. Kimi bonke banjengeSodoma; abantu baseJerusalema banjengeGomora.”

15 E'ina hu'negu Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a kasnampa vahekura amanage hu'ne, Nagra aka traza nezamina avuataga zama me'nea tinena zamisuge'za negahaze. Na'ankure Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza kasnampa vahepinti havi avu'ava zamo'a agafa huteno ama mopafina vuno eno hu'ne.

Ngakho, mayelana labaphrofethi uThixo uSomandla uthi: “Ngizabenza badle ukudla okubabayo, banathe lamanzi aletshefu, ngoba kusukela kubaphrofethi baseJerusalema ukungakholwa kuNkulunkulu sekugcwele ilizwe lonke.”

16 Hagi Monafi sondia vahe'mofo hankavenentake Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Kasnampa vahe'mo'zama kasnampa kema nehaza nanekea ontahiho. Na'ankure tamagrikura knare huta manigahaze hu'za havi kasnampa nanekea nehaze. Ana nanekema nehazana Ra Anumzamo'na Nagra osu'noa naneke nehazanki, zamagra'a antahintahifinti havige huza ava'nagna zana ke'none huza nehaze.

UThixo uSomandla uthi: “Lingalaleli okuphrofethwa ngabaphrofethi kini; balenza lithembe amanga. Bakhuluma imibono evela ezingqondweni zabo, engaveli emlonyeni kaThixo.

17 Hagi ama ana kasnampa vahe'mo'za Nagri nanekema amage'ma nontaza vahekura hu'za, Anumzamofo rimpa fru zamo'a tamagrane mesie nehu'za, kema nontahi'za zamagra'a zamavesite'ma vanoma nehaza vahekura hu'za, hazenke zamo'a tamagritera omegahie hu'za nehaze.

Bahlala besithi kulabo abangidelelayo, ‘UThixo uthi: Lizakuba lokuthula.’ Lakubo bonke abalandela inkani yezinhliziyo zabo bathi, ‘Akulabubi obuzalehlela.’

18 Hianagi nagra Jeremaia'na hu'na, ana kasnampa vahepintira iza Ra Anumzamofo atrufina Agri avuga mani'neno, agra avufintira Anumzamofona negeno nanekema hiana antahi'ne? Ana hu'neankino Agrama hia nenekea mago'mo'e huno agesafintira ontahi'ne.

Kodwa nguphi wabo owake wema emhlanganweni kaThixo ukuba abone kumbe ezwe ilizwi lakhe na? Ngubani olilaleleyo walizwa ilizwi lakhe?

19 Hagi keho! Ra Anumzamofo arimpahe zamo'a, ununkomo'ma nehiaza huno ne-e. Ana nehiankino Agri rimpa ahe'zamo'a kagikagi zahomo nehiaza huno ruherafi ramino eno, havi avu'ava zama nehaza vahe'mokizmi zamasenia eme rentrako hugahie.

Khangelani, isiphepho sikaThixo sizaphutsha silulaka, isavunguzane esibhoda ngolaka phezu kwamakhanda ababi.

20 Hagi Ra Anumzamofo arimpa ahe'zamo'a vagaore mevava huno nevanigeno, nazano hugahuema huno antahi'nesia zana ana maka huvagaregahie. Henka'a ana maka zama ome vagaresania zupa, tamagra ama ana zankura antahi ama' hugahaze.

Ulaka lukaThixo kaluyikuphela aze azifeze ngokupheleleyo injongo zenhliziyo yakhe. Ensukwini ezizayo lizakuzwisisa kuhle lokhu.

21 Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Nagra ana kasnampa vahera huozamante'noe. Hianagi zamagra'a zamagesafinti kasnampa kea hu'za nevu'za, Nagra nanekea ozamasami noanagi, zamagra zamagesafinti havi kasnampa kea ome huama nehaze.

Abaphrofethi laba angibathumanga; kodwa bagijima lemibiko yabo; kangizange ngikhulume labo, kodwa sebephrofethile.

22 Hianagi Nagri atrufima zamagra mani'ne'za nagri nanekema antahi'naresina, Nagri nanekea huama hu'za vaheni'a zamasamizage'za nentahi'za, kefo avu'azama nehaza kante'ma nevaza zana atre'za rukrahe hu'za ne-eza, havi avu'ava zampintira atre'za azasine.

Kodwa aluba babekhona emhlanganweni wami, ngabe bamemezela amazwi ami ebantwini bami njalo ngabe babaphendula ezindleleni zabo ezimbi lasezenzweni zabo ezimbi.”

23 Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Tamagrama antahi'zana, amama mani'nona mopa'afinke Anumzana Agra mani'neno, afete ru moparega Anumzana omani'ne huta nehazafi?

UThixo uthi, “NginguNkulunkulu oseduze kuphela, uNkulunkulu ongekho khatshana na?

24 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, tamagrama antahi'zana mago vahemo'ma fra'ma ki'nesaniana Nagrikura onkegahie huta nehazo? Ra Anumzamo'a huno, monafine mopafinema Nagrama mani avi'mate'noana tamagra ontahi'nazafi?

Umuntu angacatsha endaweni efihlakeleyo ukuba ngingamboni na?” kutsho uThixo. “Angithi ngigcwele ezulwini lasemhlabeni na?” kutsho uThixo.

25 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, ama ana kasnampa vahe'mo'zama Nagri nagifima havige kasnampa nanekema hu'nazana, nagra ko antahi'noe. Ana kasnampa nanekea amanage hu'naze. Nagra mago ava'na ke'noe, nagra mago ava'na ke'noe hu'za hu'naze.

“Ngikuzwile okutshiwo ngabaphrofethi abaphrofetha amanga ngebizo lami. Bathi, ‘Ngiphuphile! Ngiphuphile!’

26 Hagi ama ana kasnampa vahe'mo'zama zamagra'a zamagu'afinti'ma eri fore hu'zama havi kasnampa nanekema huama'ma hu'za nevaza zana, nazupa ome atregahaze. Zamagrira zamagu'amo rezmavatga hige'za havi kasnampa naneke eri fore hu'za huama nehaze.

Koze kube nini lokhu kuqhubeka ezinhliziyweni zalaba abaphrofethi abalamanga na?

27 Hagi zamagra havige ava'nama ke'naza ava'na kea huge antahige nehu'za, zamagrama antahi'zana ana nehanunke'za Anumzamofona antahi omisaze hu'za hu'naze. Zamagehe'za e'inahu avu'avaza hu'za Nagrira antahi onami'za Bali havi anumzante monora hu'naze.

Bacabanga ukuthi amaphupho abawatshelanayo azakwenza abantu bami bakhohlwe ibizo lami, njengabokhokho babo abakhohlwa ibizo lami ngenxa yokukhonza uBhali.

28 Hagi mago kasnampa ne'mo'ma ava'nama ke'nesaniana atrenkeno agra ana ava'na huama hino. Hagi mago vahe'mo'ma Nagritegati'ma nanekema eri'nesania vahe'mo'a Nagrama asami'nesanua nanekea hu fatgo huno vahera zamasamino. Nagri nanekemo'a witimofo raga'agna hu'ne. Hianagi ana kasnampa vahe'mokizimi nanekemo'a witimofo akrua gna hu'ne.

Akuthi umphrofethi ophupha iphupho kalitsho, kodwa lowo olelizwi lami kalikhulume ngobuqotho, ngoba amakhoba angenzani lamabele na?” kutsho uThixo.

29 Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Nagri nanekemo'a tevegna hune'no, hamankna hu'neankino havea rufrageno rako huno rufuzafu petregahie.

“Ilizwi lami kalinjengomlilo,” kutsho uThixo, “lanjengesando esidabula idwala libe yizicucu na?”

30 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Antahiho! Nagrama mago vahe'ma asami'nenua nanekema musufama erino, Anumzamo nesami'nea naneke huno'ma huama'ma hania kasnampa vahera ha'rentegahue.

UThixo uthi, “Ngakho, ngimelana labaphrofethi abantshontsha kwabanye amazwi okuthiwa avela kimi.

31 Ra Anumzamo'a huno, zamagra'a zamagiteti havi kasnampa nanekema nehu'za, Anumzamo tamia naneke nehunema hu'za nehaza kasnampa vahera tamagerfa hu'na ha' rezamantegahue.

Yebo, ngimelana labaphrofethi abasebenzisa indimi zabo kodwa bathi, ‘UThixo uthi,’

32 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Ava'nama ke'naza zanku'ma havi kasnampa kema nehaza vahera ha' rezamantegahue. Zamagra havige hu'za vaheni'a rezamatga hu'za zamavare'za havi kante nevaze. Nagra ana vahera huhamparite'na huzamantoge'za ome'naze. Ana hu'neankino zamagrama haza zamo'a ama vahera zamaza osutfa nehie, huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

Ngeqiniso, ngimelana lalabo abaphrofetha amaphupho amanga,” kutsho uThixo. “Bayawatsho baholele abantu bami ekulahlekeni ngamanga abo lamawala, ikanti angizange ngibathume kumbe ngibakhethe. Kababasizi ngalutho abantu laba,” kutsho uThixo.

33 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Jeremaianagura huno, Mago vahemo'o, mago kasnampa nemo'o, mago pristi vahemo'o kagrite'ma eno, henkama fore'ma hania zankura Ra Anumzamo'a mago'a kasnampa kea kasaminefi tasamioma hanagenka, mago kasnampa kea omneneanki, Ra Anumzamo'a tamatregahie hunka zamasamio.

“Nxa abantu laba, loba umphrofethi kumbe umphristi, bebuza besithi, ‘Izilo likaThixo kuyini?’ wothi kubo, ‘Izilo liphi? Ngizakulahla, kutsho uThixo.’

34 Hagi mago vahe'mo'o, mago kasnampa vahe'mo'o mago pristi vahemo'ma havigema huno ama kasnampa kea Ra Anumzamo nasamige'na huama nehuema huno hania vahera, Nagra ana vahe'ene noma'afima nemaniza naga'enena ana maka ranknaza zamigahue.

Nxa umphrofethi loba umphristi kumbe omunye umuntu esithi, ‘Leli lizilo likaThixo,’ lowomuntu ngizamjezisa kanye labendlu yakhe.

35 Hagi nagra Jeremaia'nama tamasami'nuana, tamafuhe'zane tamagri tavaonte'ma nemaniza vahe'enena amanage huta ontahige antahige hiho. Na'ane huno Ra Anumzamo'a kenona nehie nehuta, na'ane huno nanekea nehie? huta hiho.

Lokhu yikho omunye wenu ohlala ekutsho kumngane wakhe loba isihlobo sakhe ukuthi: ‘Impendulo kaThixo ithini na?’ loba ‘UThixo utheni?’

36 Hianagi Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa kemo'a amanahu hune huta mago'enena huamara osiho. Na'ankure tamagra'a naneke huama nehuta, tagri Anumzama Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Anumzama kasefa'ma huno mani'nea Ra Anumzamofo nanekea eri akrahe krahu nehaze.

Kodwa akumelanga lithi ‘izilo likaThixo’ futhi, ngoba umuntu wonke ilizwi lakhe liba lizilo lakhe ngoba liyawahlanekela amazwi kaNkulunkulu ophilayo, uThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu wethu.

37 Hagi mago vahemo'ma ana kema hania kasnampa vahe'ma antahigenakura amanage huno antahigeno. Na'ane huno Ra Anumzamo'a kenona huneganteno, na'ane huno nanekea kasami'ne?

Lokhu yikho elihlala likutsho kumphrofethi ukuthi, ‘Impendulo kaThixo kuwe ithini?’ loba ‘UThixo utheni?’

38 Hianagi tamagra huta ama'i Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa naneke huta nehazanagi, Nagra e'inahu nanekea osiho hu'na i'o huramante'noe. Hianagi Nagri kea eri netreta, ete ama'i Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa naneke huta nehaze.

Lanxa lina lisithi, ‘Leli lizilo likaThixo,’ uThixo uthi: Lasebenzisa amazwi athi, ‘Leli lizilo likaThixo.’ Lanxa mina ngalitshela ukuthi lingabokuthi, ‘Leli lizilo likaThixo.’

39 E'ina hu'negu Nagra naganekani nezami'na, Nagri tava'ontetira tamaretufe atresugeta, tamafahe'ine tamagri'enema tami'noa rankumara atreta vugahaze.

Ngakho, ngeqiniso ngizalikhohlwa ngiliphosele khatshana lami kanye ledolobho engalinika lona lina labokhokho benu.

40 Hagi Nagra tamatrenugeta tamagaze zampi mani vava huta nevuta, havi tamagia erita vuvava nehuta anazankura tamagera okanigahaze.

Ngizalehlisela ihlazo elingapheliyo lokuyangeka okungayikukhohlakala.”
