Ilizwi leli lafika kuJeremiya limayelana lamaJuda ayehlala eGibhithe, eMigidoli, leThahiphanesi leMemfisi, lasePhathrosi lisithi,

Hagi antahiho, menima kesazana ana kuma tamimo'a havizantfa hazageno, anampina magore hu'za vahera omani'naze.

“UThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi: Liwubonile umonakalo omkhulu engawehlisela phezu kweJerusalema laphezu kwamadolobho wonke akoJuda. Lamhlanje kawahlali muntu njalo angamanxiwa

3 Na'ankure zamagra kefo avu'ava'ma hazazamo Nagrira nazeri narimpa nehe'za, zamagrane, tamagrane, tamafahe'zanena keta antahita osu'naza anumzaraminte mnanentake zana ofa kremna vunte vavama huta vu'nazagu anara hu'noe.

ngenxa yobubi ababenzayo. Bangithukuthelisa ngokukhonza langokutshisela impepha abanye onkulunkulu abangabaziyo bona, lani kanye labokhokho benu.

Ngathuma izinceku zami, abaphrofethi, njalonjalo ezathi, ‘Lingayenzi into le enengisayo engiyizondayo!’

5 Hianagi zamagra ana nanekerera zamagesa ante'za nontahi'za, kefo avu'ava zama nehu'za havi anumzantaminte'ma ofama nehaza zanena atre'za zamefira huomi'naze.

Kodwa kabalalelanga njalo kabanakanga; kabaphendukanga ebubini babo kumbe bayekele ukutshisela abanye onkulunkulu impepha.

6 E'ina'ma hazageno'a Nagrira tusi narimpa ahege'na Juda mopafima me'nea ranra kumataminte'ene Jerusalemi kumapima me'nea ne'onse kantamimpinena narimpa ahe'zana eri kaha hutre'na ana kumatamina eri haviza hutrogeno ka'ma koka meno eno ama knarera menina ehanati'ne.

Ngakho ulaka lwami olwesabekayo lwaphuphuma; lwavutha emadolobheni akoJuda lasemigwaqweni yaseJerusalema, lwakwenza kwaba ngamanxiwa achithekileyo ayikho lamhlanje.

7 Hagi menina Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a huno, Nahigeta tamagra'a tamavatera hazenkea huta knazana avreta ne-eta venene naga'ene a'nanene naga'ene mofavre naga'ene, ne'onse mofavre naga'enena fanane hanageno Juda vahera omani'sazegura anara nehaze?

Khathesi uThixo uNkulunkulu uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Kungani lizilethela umonakalo omkhulu kangaka ngokususa koJuda amadoda labafazi, abantwana lensane, ngalokho lingazitshiyeli lensalela na?

8 Hagi nahigeta tamagra Isipi mopafima emanineta tamazanteti'ma avako'ma huta tro'ma haza zamo'ene, ru anumzantaminte'ma ofama hazazamo'a Nagrira nazeri narimpa ahe'naze? Ana hu'nagu tamagra'a tamazeri havizantfa hanage'za, ru moparega vahe'mo'za neramage'za kizazokago ke huneramante'za, ha' vahezamima sifnagema huzmante'nakura, Juda vahe'mo'zama havizama hu'nazaza huta haviza hiho hu'za huzamantegahaze.

Kungani lingithukuthelisa ngokwenziwa yizandla zenu, litshisela abanye onkulunkulu impepha eGibhithe, lapho eselayahlala khona? Lizazibhubhisa lina ngokwenu lizenze into yokuthukwa lokuhlekwa phakathi kwezizwe zonke emhlabeni.

9 Hagi tamagehe'zane, Juda kini vahe'ene a'ne zamimo'zane, tamagrane a'ne tamimo'zanema, Juda mopafine Jerusalemi kumapima me'nea ne'onse kantamimpima hu'naza havi avu'ava zankura ko tamage kani'nefi?

Selibukhohliwe yini ububi obenziwa ngokhokho benu lobubi obenziwa ngamakhosi lamakhosikazi akoJuda, lobubi obenziwa yini labomkenu elizweni lakoJuda, lasemigwaqweni yaseJerusalema?

10 Hagi meninena tamagra tamavufga anteramita Nagri agorga nomanita, tamagri'ene tamafahe'inema zami'noa kasegene tra keni'anena amagera onte'naze.

Kuze kube lamhla kabazithobanga kumbe batshengise ukuhlonipha, kumbe balandele imithetho yami lezimiso engalibekela zona lina labokhokho benu.

11 E'ina hu'negu Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a huno, Nagra navugosa rukrahe hu'na hara huneramantena knazana tami'na Juda vahera maka tamazeri haviza huvagaregahue.

Ngakho uThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi: Ngizimisele ukulehlisela umonakalo ngibhubhise loJuda wonke.

12 Hagi Juda vahe'ma osi'ama mani'naza naga'ma, Isipi mopafi vanunema hu'za hanavemati'za e'naza vahera zamazeri tregahue. Ana hanuge'za mago'a bainati kazinteti zamahe nefrisage'za, mago'a ne'zanku hu'za frigahaze. Hagi zamagine vaheteti vuno zamagima omane vahete'ma vanige'za ana maka vahera bainati kazinteti zamahe nefrisage'za mago'a ne'zanku hu'za frigahaze. Ana hu'za ana maka Isipi mopafi fri hana hanage'za, vahe'mo'zama nezamage'za zamanogu nehu'za, kiza zokago ke hunezamante'za, vahe'ma sifnama huzmante'nakura Juda vahe'mo'zama hu'nazaza huta haviza hiho hu'za hugahaze.

Ngizathatha abaseleyo koJuda ababezimisele ukuya eGibhithe; ukuba bahlale khona. Bonke bazabhubha eGibhithe; bazabulawa ngenkemba loba babulawe yindlala. Bazabulawa yinkemba loba indlala kusukela komncinyane kusiya komkhulu. Bazakuba yinto yokuqalekiswa lokwesaba, eyokulahlwa lokuthukwa.

13 Hagi Isipi mopafima umani'naza vahera, Jerusalemi kumapima mani'naza vahe'ma hu'noaza hu'na bainati kazinteti'ene, zamagatonto zanteti'ene, krireti'ene hu'na zamazeri haviza hugahue.

Abahlala eGibhithe ngizabajezisa ngenkemba, ngendlala langesifo, njengokujezisa engakwenza iJerusalema.

14 Ana hanuge'za osi'a Juda vahe'ma Isipi mopafima emani'naza vahepintira magomo'e huno ana knazana agatereno vuno, ete umanisunema hu'zama zamavesi zamavesi'ma nehaza Juda moparera uomanigahaze. Hianagi anampintira osi'a naga'mozage ete vugahaze.

Kakho owensalela yakoJuda owayahlala eGibhithe ozaphunyuka kumbe aphephe ukuba abuyele elizweni lakoJuda asebefisa ukubuyela bayehlala kulo, kakho ozabuyela ngaphandle kweziphepheli ezilutshwane.”

15 Hagi anante maka vene'nemo'zane, a'nezmimo'zama ru anumzante'ma mananentake zama kre mnama vu ofama nehage'zama antahi'naza vene'neramine, Isipi mopafima Patrosi kumate'ma nemaniza Juda vahe'mo'zanena eme atru hute'za Jeremaiana amanage hu'za kenona hunte'naze.

Lapho-ke wonke amadoda ayekwazi ukuthi omkawo babetshisela abanye onkulunkulu impepha, kanye labesifazane bonke ababekhona, ixuku elikhulu, labantu bonke ababehlala ePhathrosi elizweni laseGibhithe, bathi kuJeremiya:

16 Kagra Ra Anumzamofo agifi eme neramasamuema hunka nehana nanekea tagra ontahigahune.

“Thina kasiyikulilalela ilizwi olikhulume kithi ngebizo likaThixo!

17 Hianagi tagra tamagerfa huta mikazama hugahunema huta huvempama hu'nona nanekere otineta, monafi kuini a'mofonte mananentake zantamima kre mnavu ofa nehuta, waini tinema tagitreta ofa hugahune. Tagehe'za e'inahu avu'ava hu'nazankita tagrane, kini vahetimo'zane, kva vahetimo'zanena Judama me'nea kumatamimpine, Jerusalemi kumapima me'nea ne'onse kantamimpinena ofa hu'none. Ana hu'nonanagi ana knafina ne'zankura atupara osuta knare huta nemanita, hazenkea e'ori'none.

Impela sizakwenza konke esathi sizakwenza: Impepha sizayitshisela iNdlovukazi yaseZulwini siyithululele leminikelo yokunathwayo njengalokhu esakwenzayo thina labobaba, amakhosi ethu kanye lezikhulu zakithi emadolobheni akoJuda lasemigwaqweni yaseJerusalema. Ngalesosikhathi sasilokudla okunengi, sinothile kungekho okubi.

18 Hianagi tagrama monafi kuini ate'ma mananentake zama kre manama ovuta, waini tima tagi tre ofama osu'nana, tagra maka zankura atupa nehunkeno, mago'a bainati kazinteti tahe nefrizageta, mago'a ne'zanku huta fri'none.

Kodwa selokhu sayekela ukutshisela iNdlovukazi yaseZulwini impepha lokuyithululela iminikelo yokunathwayo, kasisabanga lalutho njalo sesilokhu sisifa ngenkemba langendlala.”

19 Hagi anankema haza agofetura a'nemo'za hu'za, tagrama monafi kuini a'te'ma mananentake zantamima kre manavu ofama nehuta, waini tima tagi tre ofama nehuta, agri avugosama me'nea kekiramima tro huta waini tinema tagita ofama hu'nonana, tagra'a antahi zantetira osu'nonanki nerave'za hu izo hazageta anara hu'none.

Abesifazane bengeza bathi, “Ngesikhathi sitshisela iNdlovukazi yaseZulwini impepha, siyithululela leminikelo yokunathwa, omkethu babengakwazi na ukuthi sasisenza amakhekhe anjengesithombe sayo, siyithululela leminikelo yokunathwayo?”

20 Hagi anante Jeremaia'a ana maka veamokizmi nanekerera amanage huno ke nona huzmante'ne.

UJeremiya wasesithi ebantwini bonke, abesilisa labesifazane, ababemphendula,

21 Tamagrama antahi'zana tamagrane tamagehe'zane, kini vahetamimo'zane, kva vahe'tamimo'zane, maka vahe'motanema Juda mopafima me'nea kumatamimpine Jerusalemi kumapima me'nea ne'onse kantamimpinema, mana nentake zantamima kre mnavu ofama hu'naza avu'ava zankura, tamagrama antahi'zana Ra Anumzamofo antahi'zampina omanegeno hago agekanine huta nehazafi?

“UThixo kakhumbulanga wanakana ngempepha elayitshisela emadolobheni akoJuda lasemigwaqweni yaseJerusalema lina laboyihlo, lamakhosi enu, lezikhulu zakini kanye labantu belizweni na?

22 Hagi tamagrama hu'naza havi avu'ava zane, kasrino hi'mnage'ma hu'nea avu'ava zanema hu'naza zankura Ra Anumzamo'a avua anteno kegara osuno tusi avesra huramante'ne. E'ina hu'negu mopatamimo'a sifnafi megeno, mago zana omaneno ka'ma koka fore higeno, anampina magore huno vahera omanitfa higeno, meno eno ama knarera ehanati'ne.

Kwathi uThixo engaselakho ukubekezelela izenzo zenu ezimbi lezinto ezinengisayo elazenzayo, ilizwe lenu laba yinto yokuqalekiswa logwadule oluphundlekileyo olungahlali muntu njengoba kunjalo lanamhla.

23 Na'ankure tamagra mananentake zantamima kre mnavu ofaramima nehuta, Ra Anumzamofo avufi kumi nehuta, Ra Anumzamofo nanekea amagera nonteta, agri kasegene tra kenena rutagre'naze. Ana nehuta Agri eri'zama keama'ma osaza zanku huno knazana atregeno eme tamazeri haviza higeno, eno ama knarera ehanati'ne.

Umonakalo lo wehlele kini njengoba liwubona khathesi ngoba litshise impepha lenza okubi kuThixo njalo kalaze lamlalela loba lilandele umthetho wakhe kumbe imithetho yakhe loba izimiso zakhe.”

24 Hagi anante Jeremaia'a maka vahe'ene a'nene naga'enena amanage huno zamasami'ne. Maka Isipi mopafima mani'naza Juda vahe'mota Ra Anumzamo'ma hia nanenkea antahiho.

UJeremiya wasesithi ebantwini bonke, kubalwa labesifazane, “Zwanini ilizwi likaThixo lonke lina bantu bakoJuda abaseGibhithe.

25 Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a huno, Tamagrane a'nene naga'tamimo'zanena huta, tagra'a tagipinti'ma huvempama hu'nona nanekere amage antegahune nehuta amanage hu'naze.

E'ina hu'nazagu tamagra menina vuta nazano huvempama hu'naza zana amage anteta anazana hiho.

UThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi: Lina labomkenu selitshengisile ngezenzo zenu elathembisa ukukwenza lapho lathi, ‘Impela sizagcwalisa izifungo zethu esazenzayo zokutshisela iNdlovukazi yaseZulwini impepha kanye lokuyithululela iminikelo yokunathwayo.’ Ngakho qhubekani, yenzani elakuthembisayo. Gcwalisani izifungo zenu.

26 Hianagi Juda vahe'ma Isipi mopafima nemaniza vahe'mota Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hianki antahiho, Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na hankavenentake nagifi huvempa huankino, Juda vahe'ma Isipi mopafima nemaniza vahe'mota Nagri nagifina magore huta huvempa huta, Ra Anumzana kasefa huno mani'nea Anumzamofo agifi huvempa nehune huta osutfa hugahaze.

Kodwa zwanini ilizwi likaThixo lonke lina baJuda abahlala eGibhithe elithi: ‘Ngifunga ngebizo lami elidumileyo,’ kutsho uThixo, ‘ukuthi kakho ovela koJuda ohlala loba kungaphi eGibhithe ozabiza ibizo lami kumbe afunge esithi, “Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo Wobukhosi ekhona.”

27 Hagi antahiho! Nagra navua ante'na zamagegahuanagi, knare zama esanigu anara osugahuanki, knazama esanigu navua ante'na kegahue. Hagi Juda vahe'ma Isipi mopafima nemaniza vahera, bainati kazinteti zamahe nefrisage'za, mago'a ne'zanku hu'za frigahaze. Ana hume nevu'za ana maka ome fri vagare'za omanitfa hugahaze.

Ngoba ngilindele ukubenza okubi, hatshi okuhle. AmaJuda aseGibhithe azabhujiswa yinkemba lendlala aze aphele wonke.

28 Hagi ana hina osi'a naga'ma bainati kazinteti'ma zamahe ofrisaza vahe'mo'za Isipi mopa atre'za ete vu'za, Juda mopafi umanigahaze. Hagi osi'a vahe'ma Juda mopama atre'za Isipi mopafima umani'naza vahe'mo'za zamagri nanekemo tamagea me'nefi, Nagri nanekemo tamagea me'nefi zamagra'a ke'za antahi'za hugahaze.

Labo abazaphepha enkembeni babuyele elizweni lakoJuda bevela eGibhithe bazakuba balutshwana. Lapho-ke bonke abayinsalela yakoJuda abayahlala eGibhithe bazakwazi ukuthi ilizwi elizakuma ngelikabani, elami kumbe elabo.

29 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Tamagrama ama ana mopafima mani'nesage'nama tamazeri havizama hanua zamofo avame'zana meni tamaveri hugahue. E'ina'ma hanugeta tamagrama keta antahitama hanazana, Nagrama tamazeri haviza hugahuema hu'na hu'noa nanekemo'a, tamagerfa huno efore hugahie.

Lokhu kuzakuba yisibonakaliso kini sokuthi ngizalijezisa kuyonale indawo,’ kutsho uThixo, ‘ukuze lazi ukuthi okubi engalisongela ngakho kuzakwenzakala.’

30 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Antahiho! Juda kini ne' Zedekaiama avre'na, Babiloni kini ne' Nebukatnesama ha'ma hunenteno ahe frinaku'ma nehia ne'mofo azampima avrente'noaza hu'na, Isipi kini ne' Hofrana avre'na, agri ha' vahe'mo'zama ahenaku'ma nehaza vahe zamazampi avrentegahue.

UThixo uthi: ‘Ngizanikela uFaro Hofira inkosi yaseGibhithe ezitheni zakhe ezifuna ukumbulala, njengalokhu nganikela uZedekhiya inkosi yakoJuda kuNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, isitha sakhe esasifuna ukumbulala.’”
