Zeremaia 24
1 Hagi Babiloni kini ne' Nebukatnesama, Juda kini ne' Jehoiakimi nemofo Jekonaia'ma eme nevreno, eri'za vahe'ane keonke zama zamazanteti'ma tro'ma nehaza vahe'ene ke'onke zamofo amema'ama negraza vahe'ene eme zamavareno kina ome huzmantetegeno, Ra Anumzamo'ma ava'nagna zampi naveri'ma hu'neana, fiki zafamofo raga tare ekaeka kupi erintete'za Ra Anumzamofo mono no kafante antageno me'nea naveri hu'ne.
Emva kokuba uJekhoniya indodana kaJehoyakhimi inkosi yakoJuda lezikhulu, izingcitshi kanye lezisebenzi zakoJuda sebethunjwe eJerusalema basiwa eBhabhiloni nguNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, uThixo wangitshengisa izitsha ezimbili zomkhiwa zibekwe phambi kwethempeli likaThixo.
2 Hagi mago ekaeka kupima ke'noana, knare huno afure'nea fiki rgarami megeno, mago ekaeka kupima koana, haviza huno kasri'nea fiki rgarami vahemo negara osu'negena ke'noe.
Esinye isitsha sasilomkhiwa omuhle kakhulu, njengovuthwa kuqala; esinye isitsha sasilomkhiwa omubi, ubolile ungeke wadleka.
3 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a nantahigeno, Jeremaiaga na'a kane? huno hige'na nagra hu'na, knare fiki rgaramima koana, knare zantfa higeno, havizama hu'nea fiki rgaramima koana havizantfa higeno vahe'mo'a negara osu'nege'na ke'noe hugeno,
UThixo wasesithi kimi, “Kuyini okubonayo, Jeremiya?” Ngathi, “Ngumkhiwa. Omuhle muhle kakhulu, kodwa omubi ubole kakhulu ungeke udliwe.”
4 anante Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne.
Ilizwi likaThixo laselifika kimi lisithi:
5 Nagra Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mota Anumzamo'nama nehuana, Nagrama ama mopafinti'ma zamavare atroge'za vu'za Babiloni mopafima kinama ome hu'naza Juda vahe'mo'za, nagri navurera e'i knare'ma hu'nea fiki rgaraminkna hu'naze.
“UThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi, ‘Njengalo umkhiwa omuhle, ngibathatha njengabalungileyo abathunjwa bakoJuda, engabasusa kule indawo ngabasa elizweni laseBhabhiloni.
6 E'ina hu'neanki'na Nagra navu ante'na nezamage'na knare hu'na kegava huzmantegahue. Ana nehu'na ete zamavare'na mopazamifi e'na, eme zamazeri hankaveneti'na zamazeri fenkamia otegahue. Avimzama mopafi hankrazankna hu'na mopafi zamazeri nehankre'na mopafintira zamazeri vati otregahue.
Amehlo ami azabakhangela kokuphela, njalo ngizababuyisa kulelilizwe. Ngizabakha ngingabadilizi; ngizabahlanyela ngingabasiphuni.
7 Hagi Nagra zamagu'zamagesa zamazeri otisuge'za Nagrikura Ra Anumza mani'ne hu'za ke'za antahi'za hugahaze. Ana nehanage'na Nagra zamagri Anumza mani'nena, zamagra Nagri vahe manigahaze. Na'ankure zamagra maka zamagu'areti hu'za Nagrite ete rukrahe hu'za egahaze.
Ngizabapha inhliziyo yokungazi, ukuthi mina nginguThixo. Bazakuba ngabantu bami, mina ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo, ngoba bazabuyela kimi ngenhliziyo yabo yonke.
8 Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Havizama huno vahe'mo'ma negama osu'nea fiki ragamo'ma hiaza hu'na, Juda kini ne' Zedekaiane eri'za vahe'ane, Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahe'ma ofri osi'a naga'ma ana mopafi mani'nesazo, vu'za Isipi mopafima umani'nesaza naga'enena namefi huzamigahue.
Kodwa njengomkhiwa omubi, obolileyo ongeke udliwe,’ kutsho uThixo, ‘ngizamphatha kanjalo uZedekhiya inkosi yakoJuda, lezikhulu zakhe kanye labasindayo eJerusalema, langabe basele kulelilizwe loba baseGibhithe.
9 Hagi Nagrama zamazeri havizantfama hanua zana maka ama mopafi vahe'mo'zama negenu'za, tusi zamagogogu hugahaze. Hagi zamavare atre sanuge'zama umanisaza mopafi vahe'mo'za zamage fenkami netre'za, kiza zokago ke huzamantegahaze. Hagi ana vahe'mo'za vahe'ma huhavizama huzmante'nakura Juda vahe'mo'zama havizama hu'nazaza huta sifnafi maniho hu'za huzmantegahaze.
Ngizabenza bazondakale njalo babe yisinengiso kuyo yonke imibuso yasemhlabeni, insolo lesiga, into yokuhlekwa lokuthukwa, loba kungaphi engibaxotshela khona.
10 Hagi Juda vahetera ha' vahe'ene agatonto zane krine atrenugeno eme zamahe frigahie. Ana hanige'za zamagehe'ine zamagri'enema zami'noa mopafintira fanane hu'za omanigahaze.
Ngizathumela inkemba, indlala lomkhuhlane baze babhujiswe baphele elizweni engabanika lona kanye labokhokho babo.’”
