Zeremaia 25

1 Hagi Josaia nemofo Jehoiakimi'ma Juda vahe kinima manino egeno nampa 4ma hia kafufina, Nebukatnesa'a Babiloni vahe kinia ese kafu kinia mani'ne. E'i ana knafi Ra Anumzamo'a maka Juda vahekura ama nanekea Jeremaia'na nasami'ne.

Ilizwi lafika kuJeremiya mayelana labantu bonke bakoJuda ngomnyaka wesine kaJehoyakhimi indodana kaJosiya inkosi yakoJuda, okwakungumnyaka wokuqala kaNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni.

2 Ana hige'na kasnampa ne' Jeremaiana maka Juda vahe'ene maka Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahera zamasami'na,

Ngakho uJeremiya umphrofethi wathi kubo bonke abantu bakoJuda lakubo bonke abahlala eJerusalema:

3 Amoni nemofo Josaia'ma Juda vahe kinima manino egeno 13nima hia kafureti'ma, eno meni amare ehanatigeno'a ana makara 23'a kafu hu'ne. E'i ana kna'afina Ra Anumzamo'a nanekea nasamige'na tamasami vava hu'na e'noanagi, tamagra ana nanekea ontahi'naze.

Okweminyaka engamatshumi amabili lantathu, kusukela ngomnyaka wetshumi lantathu kaJosiya indodana ka-Amoni inkosi yakoJuda kuze kube yilolusuku, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi njalo ngalikhuluma kini njalonjalo, kodwa kalilalelanga.

4 Ra Anumzamo'a eri'za vahe'a maka kasnampa vahe'aramina huzmantege'za knane knanena e'za nanekea eme tamasami'naze. Hianagi antahi amne nehuta, ana nanekerera tamagesa anteta ontahi'naze.

Lanxa uThixo wathumela zonke izinceku zakhe abaphrofethi kini njalonjalo, kalilalelanga njalo kalinakanga.

5 Hagi ana kasnampa vahe'mo'za hu'za, tamagra havi kante'ma nevaza zane, havi avu'ava zama nehaza zana atreho. Tamagra e'ina'ma hanuta, Ra Anumzamo'ma tamafahe'ine tamagri'enema tami'nea mopafina mani vava huta vugahaze hu'za tamasami'naze.

Bathi, “Phendukani khathesi, omunye lomunye wenu, ezindleleni zenu ezimbi lasezenzweni zenu ezimbi, lihlale elizweni uThixo alinika lona kanye labokhokho benu kuze kube nininini.

6 Hagi tamagra ru anumzaramintera eri'zama'a eri nenteta monora huonteho. Ana nehuta ana anumzantamimofo amema'a tamazantetira avako huta tro hunteta nazeri narimpa oheho. Hagi tamagra anama osnage'na tamazeri havizana osugahue.

Lingalandeli abanye onkulunkulu ukuba libasebenzele njalo libakhonze; lingangithukuthelisi ngalokho okwenziwa yizandla zenu. Lapho-ke angiyikulehlisela okubi.”

7 Hianagi Nagri nanekea ontahi'naze. E'ina nehuta tamazanteti'ma havi anumza ramimofo amema'ama tro'ma haza zamo, Nagrira nazeri narimpa neheta, hazenke zana avreta tamagra'a tamavatera e'naze.

“Kodwa kalingilalelanga,” kutsho uThixo, “njalo lingithukuthelisile ngokwenziwa ngezandla zenu, lazehlisela okubi.”

8 Hagi Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Tamagra Nagri nanekea antahita amagera onte'nazagu,

Ngakho uThixo uSomandla uthi: “Ngenxa yokuthi kalilalelanga amazwi ami,

9 antahiho! Nagra noti kazigama me'nea mopafima nemaniza vahe'ene eri'za vaheni'a Babiloni kini ne' Nebukatnesanena huzmantenuge'za e'za maka amama mani'naza mopamofo agu'afima nemaniza vahera hara huneramante'za, tamagri tavaonte'ma nemaniza vahe'enena hara huzamantegahaze. Ana hanage'na ama mopa eri havizantfa hanuge'za vahe'mo'za nege'za antari nehu'za kiza zokago ke hugahaze. Ana hanigeno mopamo'a haviza huno mevava huno vugahie.

ngizabiza bonke abantu basenyakatho lenceku yami uNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni,” kutsho uThixo, “njalo ngizabaletha ukuba bamelane lelizwe leli labahlala kulo kanye lezizwe zonke eziseduze lalo. Ngizababhubhisa ngokupheleleyo ngibenze babe yinto eyesabekayo leyokuklolodelwa, lencithakalo yanini lanini.

10 Ana nehu'na musenkasema nehaza agasasazane a'ma ovasimi avasimima nehutama nehaza krafagene witima refuzafupe havemofo ageru'ene lampe tavimofo masanena tamagripintira eri atrenugeno omanegahie.

Ngizasusa phakathi kwabo imisindo yokuthokoza lokuthaba, lelizwi lomlobokazi lelomyeni, lomsindo wamatshe okuchola kanye lokukhanya kwesibane.

11 Ana hina ama mopafina mago vahera omanitfa hanigeno kama koka megahie. Hagi Israeli vahe'ene zamagri tavaonte'ma nemaniza vahemo'zanena 70'a kafufi Babiloni kini nemofo eri'za vahera umanigahaze.

Ilizwe leli lonke lizakuba yinkangala ephundlekileyo, lezizwe lezi zizasebenzela inkosi yaseBhabhiloni iminyaka engamatshumi ayisikhombisa.

12 Hagi anante 70'a kafuma evutesige'na Babiloni kini ne'ene kegavama hu'nea mopafi vahe'enena kumi'ma hunaza zantera Nagra kna zami'na zamazeri haviza nehu'na mopazmia eri haviza hanugeno haviza huvava huno meno vugahie.

Kodwa lapho iminyaka engamatshumi ayisikhombisa isiphelile, ngizayijezisa inkosi yaseBhabhiloni lesizwe sayo, ilizwe lamaKhaladiya, ngenxa yobubi babo,” kutsho uThixo, “njalo ngizalenza lichitheke kokuphela.

13 Hagi maka ama mopafima me'nea kumatamimpima fore huterema hania zanku'ma, Jeremaia'ma maka kasnampa kema asamugeno ama avontafepima krente'nea zantamimo'a maka fore hugahie.

Ngizakwehlisela phezu kwelizwe lelo zonke izinto engazitshoyo ngalo, konke okulotshwe encwadini le okwaphrofethwa nguJeremiya ezizweni zonke.

14 Hagi Babiloni vahe'mo'zama hu'naza zamavu'zmava zantera Nagra nona huzamantegahue. Ana hanuge'za ru moparegati hankave kini vahe'mo'zane ru moparegati vahe'mo'zanena e'za Babiloni vahera eme zamavare'za kina ome huzamante nesage'za kazokazo eri'za erigahaze.

Lazo uqobo zizathunjwa yizizwe ezinengi lamakhosi amakhulu; ngizaphindisela kubo mayelana lezenzo zabo langemisebenzi yezandla zabo.”

15 Hagi Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne. Narimpa ahe'zamofo waini timoma avite'nea kapua nazampintira erinka, hugante'nua mopafi vahete vuge'za maka ana mopafi vahe'mo'za neho.

UThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli wathi kimi, “Yamukela esandleni sami inkezo le egcwele iwayini lolaka lwami unathise zonke izizwe engikuthuma kuzo.

16 Hagi ana waini tima ne'za neginagima nehu'za traka hu'za umasete emasete hugahaze. Na'ankure Nagra ha' vahe'zami huzmantenuge'za e'za eme hara huzmantesage'za anara hugahaze.

Zingalinatha, zizadiyazela zihlanye ngenxa yenkemba engizayithumela phakathi kwazo.”

17 Hagi anagema hutege'na ana kapua Ra Anumzamofo azampintira erite'na, maka Ra Anumzamo'ma ome zamio huno'ma hunantea moparamimpi vahete vu'na ana waini tina ome zamuge'za ana maka vahe'mo'za ne'naze.

Ngakho ngayithatha inkezo esandleni sikaThixo ngazinathisa zonke izizwe ayengithume kuzo:

18 Hagi ese'ma agafa hu'noana Jerusalemi kuma'ene Juda mopafima me'nea kumatamimpi vu'na kini vahe'ene eri'za vahe'zamine ome zamuge'za ana kapufinti waini tina ne'naze. Ana'ma hazageno'a kumazmimo'a havizantfa huno me'nege'za, vahe'mo'za antri nehu'za kiza zokago ke hunezmante'za, vahe'ma sifnama huzmante'nakura e'ima hazaza huta sifnafi maniho hu'za nehaze. E'i ana zamo'a meninena meno eno ama knarera ehanati'ne.

IJerusalema lamadolobho akoJuda, amakhosi akhona kanye lezikhulu, ukubenza babe yincithakalo lento eyesabekayo yokuklolodelwa lokuqalekiswa, njengoba benjalo lamhla;

19 Hagi anantetira Isipi vu'na, kini ne' Ferone mika eri'za vahe'ane, kamani eri'za vahe'ene mika vahe'enena ome zamuge'za ana waini tina ne'naze.

uFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe, lezinceku zakhe, lezikhulu zakhe kanye labantu bakhe bonke,

20 Ana nehu'na ru moparega vahe'ma Isipi mopafima enemaniza vahe'enena zamuge'za ne'naze. Anantetira maka Uzi mopafima nemaniza kini vahe ome zamuge'za ne'naze. Hagi Filistia vahe kinia 4'a kumate'ma mani'nazana, Askelonima, Gazama, Ekronine osi'a naga'ma ofri'ma mani'naza Asdoti naga'mokizimi kini vahe'ene ome zamuge'za ana waini tina ne'naze.

labantu bonke bezizweni abakhonale; wonke amakhosi ase-Uzi; wonke amakhosi amaFilistiya (awe-Ashikheloni, eGaza, e-Ekroni, labantu abasala e-Ashidodi);

21 Hagi Idomu vahe'ene Moapu vahe'ene Amoni vahe'enena ana waini tina ome zamuge'za nenage'na,

e-Edomi, leMowabi kanye le-Amoni;

22 maka Tairi kini vahe'ene maka Saidoni kini vahe'ene hagerimofo kantu kaziga ankenaregama nemaniza vahetaminena ome zamuge'za nenage'na,

wonke amakhosi aseThire, leSidoni; amakhosi amazwe angasolwandle ngaphetsheya kwalo,

23 anantetira vu'na Dedani kini vahe'ene Tema kini vahe'ene Buzi vahe'ene afete'ma umani emanima hu'neza zamagi zamazokama neharaza vahe'mokizmi ome zami'noe.

eDedani, leThema leBhuzi labo bonke abasezindaweni ezikhatshana;

24 Hagi maka Arabia kini vahe'ene ru moparegati vahe'ma hagege kokampima enemaniza vahe'mokizmi kini vahe'enena ome zamuge'za nenazage'na,

wonke amakhosi ase-Arabhiya lawo wonke amakhosi abantu bezizweni abahlala enkangala;

25 anantetira maka Zimri kini vahe'ma Elamu kini vahe'ma, Midia kini vahe'ene ome nezami'na,

amakhosi wonke aseZimri, le-Elamu leMediya;

26 anantetira vu'na maka noti kaziga mopafima nemaniza kini vahera, afete mani'nazo tvaonte mani'nazo, maka zami vaganere'na, maka ama mopamofo agofetu'ma mani'naza kini vahera zami vagaregahue. Ana hutesanugeno ome vagaretega Babiloni kini ne'mo ana waini tina negahie.

lawo amakhosi asenyakatho, eduze lakhatshana, elandelana, yonke imibuso esemhlabeni. Emva kwabo bonke, inkosi yaseSheshaki layo izalinatha.

27 Hagi Jeremaiaga amanage hunka ome zamasamio. Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a huno, ama ana waini tina neta neginagi nehuta, amuranetita traka huta umase emase nehuta ete mago'enena oraotiho. Na'ankure Nagra ha' vahera huzmanta'nena e'za, hara eme huramante'za tamazeri haviza hugahaze.

“Lapho-ke batshele uthi, ‘UThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi: Nathani, lidakwe lihlanze, njalo liwe lingavuki futhi ngenxa yenkemba engizayithumela phakathi kwenu.’

28 Hianagi ana waini tima zamagra kazampinti'ma eri'za onesagenka, kagra amanage hunka zamasamio. Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Otreta neho huno hu'ne hunka huo.

Kodwa bangala ukwamukela inkezo esandleni sakho ukuba banathe, batshele uthi, ‘UThixo uSomandla uthi: Kumele liyinathe!

29 Hagi keho! Jerusalemi kumaku'ma hu'na Nagri nagima mesiema hu'na hu'noa kuma esera eri haviza hute'na, ana maka vahera zamazeri haviza hugahuanki tatresigeta amne manigahune huta tamagesa ontahiho. Nagra Ra Anumzana hankavenentake Anumzamo'na huanki'na, ha' vahe huzmantenuge'za ama mopafina vano nehu'za maka vahera hara huzamante'za vano hugahaze.

Khangelani, sengiqalisile ukuletha umonakalo edolobheni elileBizo lami, njalo lina lizaphutha impela ukujeziswa na? Kaliyikuphutha ukujeziswa ngoba ngizakwehlisela inkemba phezu kwabo bonke abahlala emhlabeni, kutsho uThixo uSomandla.’

30 Hagi Jeremaiaga zamazeri havizama hanua kasnampa nanekea maka amanage hunka zamasamio. Ra Anumzamo'a ruotage'ma hu'nea kuma'afintira ranke huno mopa'amofona ke'za tinemisigeno ageru'amo'a ra agasasa rugahie. Grepi rgama zamagareti'ma regatati'ma nehu'za, kezama netizankna huno ranke huno ama mopafima nemaniza vahera zamazeri haviza hugahie.

Khathesi-ke phrofetha wonke amazwi la ngabo uthi kubo: ‘UThixo uzahlokoma ephezulu; uzaduma esendaweni yakhe engcwele, njalo ahlokome kakhulu emelana lelizwe lakhe. Uzamemeza njengabahluza amavini, akhwaze ngamandla ekhwazela bonke abahlala emhlabeni.

31 Hagi ana kezankemo'a, mika mopa atuparega vuno eno hanige'za antahigahaze. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a miko ama mopafi vahera keaga huzmanteno zamazeri haviza nehuno, kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahera tamatresige'za bainati kazinknonteti zamahe frigahaze. Ra Anumzamo ama ana nanekea hu'ne.

Ukuxokozela kuzazwakala emikhawulweni yomhlaba, ngoba uThixo uzazethesa amacala izizwe; uzakwahlulela abantu bonke ababi ababhubhise ngenkemba,’” kutsho uThixo.

32 Hagi Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Antahiho, ama ana knazamo'a mago kaziga mopareti agafa huteno, miko kokantega vuno eno huvagaregahie. Hagi ana nehiankino ama mopamofo atumparegati mago ununko agafa huno eankna nehie.

Nanku akutshoyo uThixo uSomandla: “Khangelani! Umonakalo uyanda usuka kwesinye isizwe usiya kwesinye; isiphepho esikhulu siyavunguza sivela emikhawulweni yomhlaba.”

33 Hagi ana knafina Ra Anumzamo'ma zamahe frisia vahe'mokizmi zamavufagamo'a ama mopamofo agofetura maka kaziga amne zankna hugahie. Ana hina mago vahemo'e huno ana vahekura zavira neteno erise ozamantegahie. Anama frisaza vahe zamavufagamo'a kasrino rifagna hugahie.

Ngalesosikhathi labo ababulewe nguThixo bazakuba sezindaweni zonke kusukela komunye kusiya komunye umkhawulo womhlaba. Kabayikukhalelwa loba babuthwe kumbe bangcwatshwe, kodwa bazakuba njengezibi emhlabathini.

34 Hagi sipisipi afute kva vahe'mota tusi tamasunku nehuta zavira ateho. Sipisipi afu nagamokizmi rankva vahe'mota tamagri'ma tamahe nefrino tamare tufetresia knamo'a hago eanki, kugusopafi maseta rukrahe krahe hiho. Na'ankure knare mopa kavomo'ma evuramino rutako'ma nehiaza huta havizantfa hugahaze.

Khalani lilile lina belusi; giqikani ethulini lina bakhokheli bomhlambi. Ngoba isikhathi sokubulawa kwenu sesifikile; lizakuwa liphohlozeke njengokubunjiweyo.

35 Hagi sipisipi afute kva vahe'motane, sipisipi afumokizmi rankva vahe'motanema tamagareta ome frakisaza kuma'ene, fre'naza kantaminena omanetfa hugahie.

Abelusi laba kabayikuba lalapho abangabalekela khona, abakhokheli bomhlambi bengelandawo yokubalekela kuyo.

36 Hagi sipisipi afute kva vahemo'zane, sipisipi afumokizmi rankva vahemo'zanena rankrafa hu'za zavira netazanki antahiho. Na'ankure sipisipi afu'mo'zama trazama nenaza mopa Ra Anumzamo'a eri haviza nehige'za anara nehaze.

Zwanini ukukhala kwabelusi, ukulila kwabakhokheli bomhlambi, ngoba uThixo uyalichitha idlelo labo.

37 Hagi Ra Anumzamofo arimpa ahe'zamo hanigeno, sipisipi afu'mo'zama trazama nene'za mani fruma nehaza mopamo'a haviza huno ka'ma koka megahie.

Lamadlelo alokuthula azatshabalaliswa ngenxa yolaka olwesabekayo lukaThixo.

38 Hagi laionimo fraki kuma'a atreno eaza huno Ra Anumzamo'a ne-e. Na'ankure Agra tusi arimpa ahezmanteno ha' vahe huzmantesanige'za e'za Juda vahera ha' eme huzmantegahaze. Ana hanageno mopa zamimo'a haviza huno ka'ma koka megahie.

Njengesilwane uzaphuma esikhundleni sakhe, njalo ilizwe labo lizakuba yinkangala ngenxa yenkemba yomncindezeli langenxa yolaka lukaThixo olwesabekayo.
