< UJeremiya 19 >
1 Lokhu yikho akutshoyo uThixo: “Hamba uyethenga udiwo kumbumbi wezimbiza. Thatha abanye abadala babantu labanye babaphristi
ʻOku pehē mai ʻa Sihova, ʻAlu, ʻo toʻo ʻae hina ʻumea ʻoe tufunga ngaohi ipu, pea ʻave ʻae kau mātuʻa niʻihi ʻoe kakai, pea mo e kau mātuʻa ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki;
2 uhambe labo esigodini seBheni-Hinomu, eduze lentuba yeSango loDengezi. Umemezele amazwi engikutshela wona,
Pea ke ʻalu ki he teleʻa ʻoe foha ʻo Henomi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he matapā hahake, pea fakahā ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi lea ʻaia te u tala kiate koe,
3 uthi, ‘Zwanini ilizwi likaThixo, lina makhosi akoJuda lani bantu abahlala eJerusalema. UThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Lalelani! Ngizaletha umonakalo kule indawo ozabanda indlebe zomuntu wonke owuzwayo.
Pea ke pehē, “ʻE ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta, mo e kakai ʻo Selūsalema, mou fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova; ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; Vakai, te u ʻomi ʻae kovi ki he potu ni, pea ko ia ʻe fanongo ki ai, ʻe vavana ai hono telinga.
4 Ngoba bangidelile kwathi indawo le bayenza eyabonkulunkulu bezizweni; kuyo batshisele imihlatshelo onkulunkulu abangabaziyo, bona labokhokho babo kanye lamakhosi akoJuda, njalo indawo le sebayigcwalisa igazi labantu abangelacala.
Koeʻuhi kuo nau liʻaki au, pea kuo fakakehe ʻae potu ni, kuo tutu ʻi ai ʻae meʻa namu kakala ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo, pe ko ʻenau ngaahi tamai, pe ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea kuo fakapito ʻaki ʻae potu ni ʻae toto ʻoe taʻehalaia.
5 Sebakhele uBhali izindawo eziphakemeyo ukuba batshise amadodana abo emlilweni njengeminikelo yokutshiswa kuBhali, into engingazange ngibalaye kumbe ngitsho ukuthi bayenze, kumbe ukuthi ike ifike engqondweni yami.
Kuo nau langa foki ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻo Peali, ke tutu ai honau ngaahi foha ʻi he afi, ko e feilaulau tutu kia Peali, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u fekau, pe lea ki ai, pea naʻe ʻikai siʻi te u fiemālie ki ai:
6 Ngakho qaphelani, insuku ziyeza, kutsho uThixo, lapho abantu bengayikubiza indawo le ngokuthi Thofethi loba iSigodi seBheni-Hinomu kodwa iSigodi sokuBulala.
Ko ia, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻOku haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻe ʻikai toe ui ʻae potu ni ko Tofeti, pe ko e teleʻa ʻoe foha ʻo Henomi, ka Ko e teleʻa ʻoe tāmateʻi.
7 Kuyonale indawo ngizawachitha amacebo kaJuda laweJerusalema. Ngizabenza bafe ngenkemba phambi kwezitha zabo, lasezandleni zalabo abafuna ukubabulala, njalo ngizanikela izidumbu zabo ukuba zibe yikudla kwezinyoni zasemoyeni lezinyamazana zeganga.
Pea te u fakataʻeʻaonga ʻae fakakaukau ʻa Siuta mo Selūsalema ʻi he potu ni: pea te u pule ke nau tō ʻi he heletā ʻi he ʻao ʻo honau ngaahi fili, pea mo e nima ʻonautolu ʻoku kumi ʻenau moʻui: pea te u foaki honau ʻangaʻanga ke kai ʻe he fanga manu ʻoe ʻatā, pea mo e fanga manu ʻoe fonua.
8 Idolobho leli ngizalichitha ngilenze libe yinto yokwesatshwa lenhlekisa; bonke abadlula khona bazathuthumela njalo baklolode ngenxa yamanxeba alo wonke.
Pea te u ngaohi ʻae kolo ni ke lala, pea ko e manukiʻanga; pea ʻe ofo mo fakaʻiseʻisa ki ai ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ki ai, koeʻuhi ko hono ngaahi tautea kotoa pē.
9 Ngizabenza badle inyama yamadodana abo leyamadodakazi abo, njalo labo bazadlana inyama ngesikhathi esinzima sokuvinjezelwa kwabo yizitha ezifuna ukubabulala.’
Pea te u pule ke nau kai ʻae kakano ʻo honau ngaahi foha, pea mo e kakano ʻo honau ngaahi ʻofefine, pea te nau taki taha kai ʻae kakano ʻo hono kāinga ʻi he tau mo e mamahi, ʻaia ʻe fakamamahi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻe honau ngaahi fili, pea mo kinautolu ʻoku kumi ʻenau moʻui.”
10 Emva kwalokho bulala udiwo labo abahamba lawe bekhangele,
Pea te ke toki foa ʻae hina ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau tangata ʻoku nau ʻalu mo koe,
11 ubususithi kubo, ‘UThixo uSomandla uthi: Ngizasiphahlaza isizwe lesi kanye ledolobho leli njengokuphahlazwa kodiwo lombumbi lolu olungeke lulungiswe futhi. Abafileyo bazabangcwaba eThofethi kuze kusweleke indawo.
Pea te ke lea kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku pehē mai ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; ʻE pehē ʻeku maumauʻi ʻae kakai ni, pea mo e kolo ni, ʻo hangē ʻoku foaʻi ʻe ha taha ʻae ipu ʻae tufunga ngaohi ipu, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai toe faʻa ngaohi ke haohaoa: pea ʻe tanu [ʻakinautolu ]ʻi Tofeti, pea ʻe ʻikai ha potu ʻe hao ai honau tanu.
12 Lokhu yikho engizakwenza kule indawo lakulabo abahlala lapha, kutsho uThixo. Idolobho leli ngizalenza lifanane leThofethi.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Te u fai pehē ki he potu ni, pea mo hono kakai, pea te u ngaohi ʻae kolo ni ke hangē ko Tofeti:
13 Izindlu zaseJerusalema kanye lezamakhosi akoJuda zizangcoliswa njengale indawo, iThofethi, zonke izindlu lapho abazatshisela khona impepha phezu kwezimpahla kuwo wonke amaxuku ezinkanyezi, bathelela abanye onkulunkulu umnikelo wokunathwayo.’”
Pea ʻe fakaʻuliʻi ʻae ngaahi fale ʻo Selūsalema, pea mo e ngaahi fale ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻo hangē ko e potu ʻo Tofeti, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi fale kotoa pē ʻaia kuo tutu ai ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻi honau tuʻa fale ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe langi, pea kuo lilingi ai ʻae feilaulau inu ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe.”
14 UJeremiya wabuya evela eThofethi, lapho uThixo ayemthume ukuyaphrofetha khona, wasesima egumeni lethempeli likaThixo wathi ebantwini bonke,
Pea naʻe toki haʻu ʻa Selemaia mei Tofeti, ʻaia naʻe fekau ia ki ai ʻe Sihova ke kikite; pea ne tuʻu ʻi he lotoʻā ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova ʻo ne lea ki he kakai kotoa pē,
15 “UThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: ‘Lalelani! Ngizakwehlisela kulelidolobho lasemizini elizungezileyo wonke umonakalo engawutshoyo, ngoba izintamo zabo zilukhuni njalo bayala ukulalela amazwi ami.’”
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; “Vakai te u ʻomi ki he kolo ni, pea mo hono ngaahi potu kakai kotoa pē, ʻae kovi kotoa pē ʻaia naʻaku lea ki ai, koeʻuhi kuo nau fakakekeva honau kia, telia naʻa nau fanongo ki heʻeku ngaahi lea.”
