UJeremiya 20
1 Kwathi uPhashuri umphristi indodana ka-Imeri, induna enkulu ethempelini likaThixo, ezwe uJeremiya ephrofitha lezizinto,
Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Pasuli ko e foha ʻo Imeli ko e taulaʻeiki, ʻaia foki ko e fungani pule ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, naʻe kikite ʻa Selemaia ki he ngaahi meʻa ni.
2 wenza ukuthi uJeremiya umphrofethi atshaywe njalo wamvalela esitokisini eSangweni laPhezulu koBhenjamini ethempelini likaThixo.
Naʻe toki taaʻi ʻe Pasuli ʻa Selemaia ko e palōfita, pea tuku ia ki he fale fakapōpula ʻaia naʻe ʻi he matapā māʻolunga ʻo Penisimani, ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki he fale ʻo Sihova.
3 Ngosuku olwalandelayo, uPhashuri esemkhupha esitokisini, uJeremiya wathi kuye, “Ibizo lakho oliphiwe nguThixo akusiPhashuri, kodwa uMagori-Misabibi,
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ʻaho naʻa na feholoi, naʻe ʻomi ʻe Pasuli ʻa Selemaia mei he fale fakapōpula. Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe Selemaia kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻikai ui ʻe Sihova ho hingoa ko Pasuli ka ‘ko Mekoa-Misapipi.’
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.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Vakai, te u ngaohi koe ko e meʻa ilifia kiate koe, pea mo ho kāinga kotoa pē: pea te nau tō ʻi he heletā ʻo honau ngaahi fili, pea ʻe mamata ki ai ho mata: pea te u tukuange ʻa Siuta kotoa pē ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea te ne ʻave fakapōpula ʻakinautolu ki Papilone, pea ʻe tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae heletā.
5 Yonke inotho yedolobho leli ngizayipha izitha zabo lazozonke izithelo zalo, zonke izinto zalo eziligugu kanye lemfuyo yonke yamakhosi akoJuda zizayithumba njengempango ziyithwalele eBhabhiloni.
Pea te u tukuange ʻae mālohi kotoa pē ʻoe kolo ni, pea mo ʻenau ngāue kotoa pē, mo ʻenau ngaahi meʻa maʻungataʻa kotoa pē, pea mo e ngaahi koloa kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta te u tukuange ki he nima ʻo honau ngaahi fili, ʻaia ʻe maumauʻi ʻakinautolu, pea ʻe toʻo ʻakinautolu mo ʻave ʻakinautolu ki Papilone.
6 Wena Phashuri, labo bonke abahlala endlini yakho lizathunjwa liye eBhabhiloni. Uzafela khonale, ungcwatshwe khonale, wena kanye labangane bakho bonke ophrofetha amanga kubo.’”
Pea ko koe Pasuli, pea mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ʻi ho fale ʻe ʻave fakapōpula: pea te ke aʻu ki Papilone, pea te ke mate ai, pea tanu ai, ko koe, mo ho ngaahi kāinga, ʻakinautolu kuo ke kikite loi ki ai.’”
7 Awu Thixo, wangiyenga, ngayengeka; wangehlula wanqoba. Ngiyahlekwa insuku zonke; bonke bayangiklolodela.
ʻE Sihova, kuo ke akonakiʻi au, pea kuo u tui ki hoʻo akonaki: ʻoku ke mālohi ʻiate au, pea kuo ke lavaʻi: Ko e manukiʻanga au ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, pea ʻoku nau manuki kotoa pē kiate au.
8 Zonke izikhathi lapho ngikhuluma, ngiyakhala ngimemezela ukuba kube lodlakela lokuchitheka. Ngakho ilizwi likaThixo selingilethele isithuko lensolo ilanga lonke.
ʻO kau ka lea, kuo u kalanga, kuo u kalanga, “Ko e fakamālohi mo e maumauʻi;” koeʻuhi kuo ngaohi ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ko e meʻa ongoongo kovi kiate au, pea ko e manukiʻanga, ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
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.
Pea naʻaku pehē, “ʻE ʻikai te u toe lea kiate ia, pea ʻe ʻikai te u toe lea ʻi hono huafa.” Ka naʻe tatau ʻene folofola ʻi hoku loto mo e afi vela kuo ʻufia ʻi hoku ngaahi hui, pea naʻaku fiu ʻi he taʻofi, pea naʻe ʻikai teu faʻa fakalongo pe.
10 Ngizwa abanengi benyenyeza besithi, “Kulokuthuthumela indawo yonke! Mmangaleleni! Kasimangalele!” Abangane bami bonke balindele ukuwa kwami, besithi, “Mhlawumbe uzakhohliseka; besesimehlula siphindisele kuye.”
He kuo u fanongo ki he lea launoa pe ʻoe tokolahi, ke ke fakahā ʻae fakailifia ʻi he potu kotoa pē, pea te mau fakahā ia: naʻe ʻamanaki ʻa hoku kāinga tokolahi ki heʻeku hinga, pea naʻe pehē, “Heiʻilo ʻe tauheleʻi nai ia, pea te tau mālohi kiate ia, pea te tau tautea kiate ia.”
11 Kodwa uThixo ulami njengebutho elilamandla; ngakho abangihluphayo bazakuwa banganqobi. Bazakwehluleka njalo bayangeke kakhulu; ihlazo labo kaliyikukhohlakala lanini.
Ka ʻoku ʻiate au ʻa Sihova, ʻo hangē ko e tokotaha mālohi fakamanavahē: ko ia ʻe tūkia ʻa hoku kau fakatanga, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau mālohi: te nau mā lahi; koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te nau monūʻia: ʻe ʻikai fakangaloʻi ʻenau mā ʻo taʻengata.
12 Awu Thixo Somandla, wena ohlola abalungileyo, uhlole inhliziyo lengqondo, kangibone ukuphindisela kwakho kubo, ngoba indaba yami ngiyinikele kuwe.
ʻE Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻa koe, ʻoku ke ʻahiʻahi ʻae angatonu, pea ʻiloʻi ʻae ngaahi mahalo pea mo e loto, tuku ke u mamata ki ho houhau kiate kinautolu: he kuo u fakahā ʻeku meʻa kiate koe.
13 Hlabelani uThixo! Limdumise uThixo! Uhlenga impilo yabaswelayo ezandleni zababi.
Mou hiva kia Sihova, mou fakamālō kia Sihova: he kuo ne fakahaofi ʻae laumālie ʻoe masiva mei he nima ʻoe kau fai kovi.
14 Kaluqalekiswe usuku engazalwa ngalo! Usuku umama angizala ngalo kalungabusiswa!
Ke malaʻia ʻae ʻaho naʻaku fāʻeleʻi ai: pea ʻoua naʻa monūʻia ʻae ʻaho naʻe fāʻeleʻi ai au ʻe heʻeku faʻē.
15 Kaqalekiswe umuntu owayabikela ubaba izindaba, owamemeza wathaba, esithi, “Uzalelwe indodana!”
Ke malaʻia ʻae tangata naʻe fakahā au ki heʻeku tamai, ʻo pehē, “Kuo fāʻeleʻi kiate koe ʻae tamasiʻi tangata, ke fakafiefiaʻi ia.”
16 Lowomuntu kabe njengamadolobho uThixo awachitha kungekho sihawu. Kezwe ukulila ekuseni, lomkhosi wempi emini.
Ke tatau ʻae tangata ko ia mo e ngaahi kolo ʻaia naʻe fakaʻauha ʻe Sihova, pea naʻe ʻikai fakatomala: ke fanongo ia ki he kaila ʻi he pongipongi, pea mo e kalanga ʻi he hoʻatā;
17 Ngoba kangibulalelanga esiswini, umama enjengengcwaba lami, isisu sakhe sikhukhumele kokuphela.
Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te ne tāmateʻi au ʻi he manāva; pea u faʻitoka ʻaki ʻeku faʻē, pea u nofomaʻu ʻi hono manāva.
18 Ngaphumelani esiswini ukuba ngibone uhlupho losizi njalo akuthi ngiphethe insuku zami ngiphakathi kwehlazo?
Ko e hā naʻaku haʻu ai mei he manāva ke ʻilo ʻae ongosia mo e mamahi, pea ke fakaʻosi hoku ngaahi ʻaho ʻi he mā?
