UJeremiya 20

1 Kwathi uPhashuri umphristi indodana ka-Imeri, induna enkulu ethempelini likaThixo, ezwe uJeremiya ephrofitha lezizinto,

and to hear: hear Pashhur son: child Immer [the] priest and he/she/it overseer leader in/on/with house: temple LORD [obj] Jeremiah to prophesy [obj] [the] word: thing [the] these

2 wenza ukuthi uJeremiya umphrofethi atshaywe njalo wamvalela esitokisini eSangweni laPhezulu koBhenjamini ethempelini likaThixo.

and to smite Pashhur [obj] Jeremiah [the] prophet and to give: put [obj] him upon [the] stocks which in/on/with gate Benjamin (Gate) [the] high which in/on/with house: temple LORD

3 Ngosuku olwalandelayo, uPhashuri esemkhupha esitokisini, uJeremiya wathi kuye, “Ibizo lakho oliphiwe nguThixo akusiPhashuri, kodwa uMagori-Misabibi,

and to be from morrow and to come out: send Pashhur [obj] Jeremiah from [the] stocks and to say to(wards) him Jeremiah not Pashhur to call: call by LORD name your that if: except if: except `Terror on Every Side` from `Terror on Every Side`

4 ngoba uThixo uthi: ‘Ngizakwenza ubelucuku ngokwakho lakubo bonke abangane bakho; uzababona ngamehlo akho besiwa ngenkemba yezitha zabo. UJuda wonke ngizamnikela enkosini yaseBhabhiloni, ezabathumba ibase eBhabhiloni loba ibabulale ngenkemba.

for thus to say LORD look! I to give: make you to/for terror to/for you and to/for all to love: friend you and to fall: kill in/on/with sword enemy their and eye: seeing your to see: see and [obj] all Judah to give: give in/on/with hand: power king Babylon and to reveal: remove them Babylon [to] and to smite them in/on/with sword

5 Yonke inotho yedolobho leli ngizayipha izitha zabo lazozonke izithelo zalo, zonke izinto zalo eziligugu kanye lemfuyo yonke yamakhosi akoJuda zizayithumba njengempango ziyithwalele eBhabhiloni.

and to give: give [obj] all wealth [the] city [the] this and [obj] all toil her and [obj] all preciousness her and [obj] all treasure king Judah to give: give in/on/with hand: power enemy their and to plunder them and to take: take them and to come (in): bring them Babylon [to]

6 Wena Phashuri, labo bonke abahlala endlini yakho lizathunjwa liye eBhabhiloni. Uzafela khonale, ungcwatshwe khonale, wena kanye labangane bakho bonke ophrofetha amanga kubo.’”

and you(m. s.) Pashhur and all to dwell house: home your to go: went in/on/with captivity and Babylon to come (in): come and there to die and there to bury you(m. s.) and all to love: friend you which to prophesy to/for them in/on/with deception

7 Awu Thixo, wangiyenga, ngayengeka; wangehlula wanqoba. Ngiyahlekwa insuku zonke; bonke bayangiklolodela.

to entice me LORD and to entice to strengthen: strengthen me and be able to be to/for laughter all [the] day all his to mock to/for me

8 Zonke izikhathi lapho ngikhuluma, ngiyakhala ngimemezela ukuba kube lodlakela lokuchitheka. Ngakho ilizwi likaThixo selingilethele isithuko lensolo ilanga lonke.

for from sufficiency to speak: speak to cry out violence and violence to call: call out for to be word LORD to/for me to/for reproach and to/for derision all [the] day

9 Kodwa nxa ngisithi, “Kangiyikumqamba loba ngikhulume ngebizo lakhe futhi,” ilizwi lakhe lisenhliziyweni yami njengomlilo, umlilo ovalelwe emathanjeni ami. Sengidiniwe ngokuligodla ngaphakathi; impela, ngingeke nganelise.

and to say not to remember him and not to speak: speak still in/on/with name his and to be in/on/with heart my like/as fire to burn: burn to restrain in/on/with bone my and be weary to sustain and not be able

10 Ngizwa abanengi benyenyeza besithi, “Kulokuthuthumela indawo yonke! Mmangaleleni! Kasimangalele!” Abangane bami bonke balindele ukuwa kwami, besithi, “Mhlawumbe uzakhohliseka; besesimehlula siphindisele kuye.”

for to hear: hear slander many terror from around: side to tell and to tell him all human peace: friendship my to keep: look at stumbling my perhaps to entice and be able to/for him and to take: take vengeance our from him

11 Kodwa uThixo ulami njengebutho elilamandla; ngakho abangihluphayo bazakuwa banganqobi. Bazakwehluleka njalo bayangeke kakhulu; ihlazo labo kaliyikukhohlakala lanini.

and LORD with me like/as mighty man ruthless upon so to pursue me to stumble and not be able be ashamed much for not be prudent shame forever: enduring not to forget

12 Awu Thixo Somandla, wena ohlola abalungileyo, uhlole inhliziyo lengqondo, kangibone ukuphindisela kwakho kubo, ngoba indaba yami ngiyinikele kuwe.

and LORD Hosts to test righteous to see: see kidney and heart to see: see vengeance your from them for to(wards) you to reveal: reveal [obj] strife my

13 Hlabelani uThixo! Limdumise uThixo! Uhlenga impilo yabaswelayo ezandleni zababi.

to sing to/for LORD to boast: praise [obj] LORD for to rescue [obj] soul: life needy from hand: power be evil

14 Kaluqalekiswe usuku engazalwa ngalo! Usuku umama angizala ngalo kalungabusiswa!

to curse [the] day which to beget in/on/with him day which to beget me mother my not to be to bless

15 Kaqalekiswe umuntu owayabikela ubaba izindaba, owamemeza wathaba, esithi, “Uzalelwe indodana!”

to curse [the] man which to bear tidings [obj] father my to/for to say to beget to/for you son: child male to rejoice to rejoice him

16 Lowomuntu kabe njengamadolobho uThixo awachitha kungekho sihawu. Kezwe ukulila ekuseni, lomkhosi wempi emini.

and to be [the] man [the] he/she/it like/as city which to overturn LORD and not to be sorry: comfort and to hear: hear outcry in/on/with morning and shout in/on/with time midday

17 Ngoba kangibulalelanga esiswini, umama enjengengcwaba lami, isisu sakhe sikhukhumele kokuphela.

which not to die me from womb and to be to/for me mother my grave my and womb her pregnant forever: enduring

18 Ngaphumelani esiswini ukuba ngibone uhlupho losizi njalo akuthi ngiphethe insuku zami ngiphakathi kwehlazo?

to/for what? this from womb to come out: produce to/for to see: see trouble and sorrow and to end: expend in/on/with shame day my
