UJeremiya 15

1 UThixo wasesithi kimi, “Lanxa uMosi loSamuyeli bengema phambi kwami, inhliziyo yami ingeke iphendukele kulababantu. Basuse phambi kwami! Kabahambe!

Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “Kapau ʻe tuʻu ʻi hoku ʻao ʻa Mōsese mo Samuela, ʻe ʻikai te u tokanga ki he kakai ni: kapusi ʻakinautolu ʻi hoku ʻao, pea tuku ke nau ʻalu atu.

2 Bangakubuza bathi, ‘Sizakuya ngaphi na?’ uthi kubo, uThixo uthi: ‘Abamiselwe ukufa, baya ekufeni; abenkemba, enkembeni; abendlala, endlaleni; abokuthunjwa, ekuthunjweni.’

Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻo kapau te nau lea kiate koe, Te mau ʻalu ki fē? pea te ke tala kiate kinautolu, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; Ko kinautolu, kuo tuʻutuʻuni ki he mate, te nau mate; pea ko kinautolu ʻoku tuʻutuʻuni ki he heletā, te nau ʻi he heletā; pea ko kinautolu ʻoku tuʻutuʻuni ki he honge, te nau ʻi he honge; pea ko kinautolu kuo tuʻutuʻuni ki he fakapōpula, te nau ʻalu ki he fakapōpula.

3 Ngizabathumela imihlobo emine yabachithi,” kutsho uThixo, “inkemba yokubulala lezinja zokuhudulela khatshana njalo lezinyoni zasemoyeni kanye lezinyamazana zeganga ukuba zidle zibhuqe.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Te u tuʻutuʻuni kiate kinautolu ʻae faʻahinga meʻa ʻe fā: ko e heletā ke tāmateʻi, ko e fanga kulī ke haehae, ko e manu ʻoe ʻatā, pea mo e ngaahi manu ʻoe fonua, ke folo hifo pea fakaʻauha.

4 Ngizabenza banengeke emibusweni yonke yasemhlabeni ngenxa yalokho okwenziwa eJerusalema nguManase indodana kaHezekhiya inkosi yakoJuda.

Pea te u tukuange ʻakinautolu ke ʻave ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani, koeʻuhi ko Manase ko e foha ʻo Hesekaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea koeʻuhi ko e meʻa naʻa ne fai ʻi Selūsalema.”

5 Ngubani ozakuba lesihawu kuwe wena Jerusalema? Ngubani ozakukhalela na? Ngubani ozakuma abuze ukuthi unjani na?

“He ko hai ʻe ʻofa kiate koe, ʻE Selūsalema? Pe ko hai ʻe mamahi mo koe? Pe ko hai ʻe afe atu ke fehuʻi pe ʻoku ke fēfē?

6 Ungalile,” kutsho uThixo. “Uqhubeka uhlehlela emuva. Ngakho ngizabeka izandla phezu kwakho ngikuchithe; ngingeke ngibe lesihawu futhi.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, kuo ke fakaholomui meiate au; ko ia te u mafao atu hoku nima kiate koe, mo fakaʻauha koe; kuo u fiu ʻi he kātaki.

7 Ngizabahlungula ngefologwe yokwela emasangweni amadolobho elizwe. Ngizaletha ukufelwa lokuchitheka ebantwini bami, ngoba kabaguqulanga izindlela zabo.

Pea te u tapili ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae tapili ʻi he ngaahi matapā ʻoe fonua; te u toʻo ʻenau fānau, te u fakaʻauha ʻa hoku kakai, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau taʻetafoki mei honau ngaahi hala.

8 Ngizakwenza abafelokazi babo bande kakhulu kuletshebetshebe lasolwandle. Emini ngizakwehlisela umbulali phezu kwabonina bamajaha akibo; khonokho ngizabehlisela usizi lokwesaba.

Kuo fakatokolahi ʻi hoku ʻao honau kau fefine ʻoku mate honau husepāniti ʻo lahi hake ʻi he ʻoneʻone ʻoe ngaahi tahi: kuo u ʻomi ki heʻenau faʻē ha tokotaha ʻoku fakaʻauha ʻi he hoʻatā: kuo u pule kiate ia ke fai ia fakafokifā pe, ko e ngaahi fakailifia ki he kolo.

9 Unina wabayisikhombisa uzaqaleka aphefumule okokucina. Ilanga lakhe lizatshona kusesemini; uzayangiswa njalo eyiswe. Izinsalela ngizaziqeda ngenkemba phambi kwezitha zazo,” kutsho uThixo.

Pea kuo vaivai ia ʻaia kuo fāʻeleʻi ʻae toko fitu: kuo ne tuku hake hono laumālie; kuo tō hifo hono laʻā ʻi he kei ʻaho: kuo mā ia mo puputuʻu: pea ko kinautolu ʻoku toe te u tukuange ki he heletā ʻi he ʻao ʻo honau ngaahi fili, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.”

10 Maye, wena mama, ngokuthi wangizala, mina muntu ilizwe lonke elibangisana laye njalo liphikisana laye! Kangikaze ngebolekise loba ngeboleke, kodwa bonke bayangithuka.

ʻA ʻeku faʻē, ʻoku ou malaʻia, koeʻuhi kuo ke fāʻeleʻi au ko e tangata faʻa fekeʻikeʻi pea ko e tangata fakakikihi mo māmani kotoa pē! Pea ʻoku teʻeki ai te u nō ha meʻa ki he totongi, pea naʻe ʻikai nō kiate au ʻe ha tangata ki he totongi; ka ʻoku nau taki taha kapeʻi au.

11 UThixo wathi, “Ngeqiniso ngizakukhulula ngenjongo enhle; ngeqiniso ngizakwenza izitha zakho zikuncenge ezikhathini zomonakalo lezokuhlupheka.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova, Ko e moʻoni ʻe lelei hoʻo hako; te u pule ki he fili ke ne fai lelei kiate koe ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe kovi mo e mamahi.

12 Umuntu angayiqamula insimbi, insimbi evela enyakatho kumbe ithusi na?

‌ʻE fesiʻi ʻe he ukamea ʻae ukamea mei he tokelau, pea mo e sitili?

13 Inotho yakho lamatshe akho aligugu ngizakwenza kube yimpango, yamahala, ngenxa yezono zakho kulolonke ilizwe lakini.

“Pea te u foaki hoʻo meʻa mo hoʻo koloa ke vetea taʻehatotongi, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo ngaahi angahala, ʻi he ngataʻanga kotoa pē ʻoe fonua.

14 Ngizakwenza ube yisigqili sezitha zakho elizweni ongalaziyo, ngoba ulaka lwami luzabhebha umlilo ozakutshisa.”

Pea te u pule ke ke ʻalu mo ho ngaahi fili ki he fonua ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻiloa; he kuo tutu ʻae afi ʻi hoku houhau, ʻaia ʻe vela ai ʻakimoutolu.”

15 Uyazwisisa wena Thixo; ngikhumbula ungikhathalele. Ungiphindiselele kwabangihluphayo. Uyabekezela, ungangigudluli; khumbula ukuthi ngithukwa njani ngenxa yakho.

“ʻE Sihova ʻoku ke ʻafioʻi: manatuʻi au, pea ʻaʻahi kiate au, pea totongi kiate kinautolu kuo fakatangaʻi au; ʻoua naʻa ke ʻave au koeʻuhi ko hoʻo kātaki ʻofa: ke ke ʻafio kuo u kātaki ʻae manuki koeʻuhi ko koe.

16 Ekufikeni kwamazwi akho, ngawadla; ayeyintokozo yami lenjabulo yenhliziyo yami, ngoba mina ngibizwa ngebizo lakho, wena Thixo Nkulunkulu Somandla.

Pea naʻe ʻiloa hoʻo ngaahi lea, pea ko ʻeku meʻakai ia; pea ko hoʻo folofola ko e fiemālie pea mo e fakafiefia ki hoku loto: he kuo ui au ʻi ho huafa, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau.

17 Kangizange ngihlale enhlanganisweni yabazithokozisayo, kumbe ngijabule labo; ngahlala ngedwa ngoba isandla sakho sasiphezu kwami njalo wawungenze ngagcwala intukuthelo.

Naʻe ʻikai te u nofo ʻi he fakataha ʻae kau manuki, pea naʻe ʻikai te u fiefia ka naʻaku nofo tokotaha pe koeʻuhi ko ho nima: he kuo ke fakapito ʻaki au ʻae tuputāmaki.”

18 Kungani ubuhlungu engibuzwayo bungapheli lenxeba lami lilibi kakhulu njalo lingelapheki na? Kimi uzakuba njengesifula esikhohlisayo, lanjengomthombo ongelamanzi na?

“Ko e hā ʻoku pehē ai pe ʻeku mamahi, mo hoku lavea taʻefaʻafakamoʻui, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai fie moʻui? Te ke ʻiate au ʻo hangē ko e meʻa loi, pea ʻo hangē ko e vai kuo fakaʻaʻau ke maha?

19 Ngakho uThixo uthi: “Ungaphenduka, ngizakubuyisela ukuze ungikhonze; nxa ukhuluma amazwi afaneleyo, hatshi angasizi lutho, uzakuba yisikhulumeli sami. Abantu laba kabaphendukele kuwe, kodwa wena akumelanga uphendukele kubo.

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, kapau te ke tafoki, te u toe ʻomi koe, pea te ke tuʻu ʻi hoku ʻao: pea kapau te ke vaheʻi ʻae lelei mei he kovi, te ke hoko ʻo hangē ko hoku fofonga; tuku ke tafoki ʻakinautolu kiate koe kaeʻoua naʻa ke tafoki koe kiate kinautolu.

20 Ngizakwenza ube ngumduli kulababantu, umduli ovikelweyo wethusi; bazakulwa lawe kodwa kabayikukwehlula, ngoba mina ngilawe ukuba ngikuhlenge ngikusize,” kutsho uThixo.

Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, te u ngaohi koe ki he kakai ni ke ke hangē ko e ʻa palasa: pea te nau tauʻi koe, ka ʻe ʻikai te nau lavaʻi koe: he ʻoku ou ʻiate koe ke fakamoʻui koe, pea ke fakahaofi koe.

21 “Ngizakuhlenga ezandleni zababi ngikukhulule ezandleni zabalesihluku.”

Pea te u fakahaofi koe mei he nima ʻoe angahala, pea te u huhuʻi koe mei he nima ʻoe mālohi.”
