UJeremiya 23
1 “Maye kubelusi abachitha izimvu zedlelo lami njalo bezihlakaza!” kutsho uThixo.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Mano kaka unune malit un jokwath maketho kendo keyo romba kar kwadhgi!”
2 Ngakho uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi kubelusi abelusa abantu bami: “Ngenxa yokuthi lina lihlakaze umhlambi wami lawuxotshela khatshana kalaze lawunaka, ngizakwehlisela isijeziso phezu kwenu ngenxa yobubi elibenzileyo,” kutsho uThixo.
Emomiyo ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Israel, wachone jokwath makwayo joga: “Nikech usekeyo romba kendo uriembogi kendo ok useritogi, anakumu kuom timbe mamono musetimo,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
3 “Mina ngokwami ngizabutha insalela zezimvu zami emazweni wonke engangizixotshele kuwo ngizibuyisele edlelweni lazo, lapho ezizazalana khona zande.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “An awuon anachok romba modongʼ e pinje duto kuonde maseriembogie anadwog-gi legegi kama gibiro nyaa kendo kwan-gi nomedre.
4 Ngizazilethela abelusi abazazelusa, njalo kazisayikwesaba loba zithuthumele, loba enye yazo ilahleke,” kutsho uThixo.
Anamigi jokwath manoritgi, kendo ok ginibed maluor kata ok ginibwogi, bende onge manolal,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
5 UThixo uthi, “Ziyeza insuku, lapho uDavida ngizamvusela uGatsha olulungileyo, iNkosi ezabusa ngokuhlakanipha, yenze okulungileyo, lokufaneleyo elizweni.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Kinde biro ma anami Daudi Bad Yath makare, Ruoth manobed gi loch mar rieko kendo tim gima kare kendo ratiro e piny.
6 Ensukwini zayo uJuda uzasindiswa, lo-Israyeli ahlale evikelekile. Ibizo azabizwa ngalo yileli elithi: UThixo Oyikulunga Kwethu.”
E ndalone Juda noresi kendo Israel nodag gi kwe. Ma e nying ma ibiro luongego: Jehova Nyasaye mamiyo wabedo jo-ratiro.”
7 UThixo uthi, “Ngakho-ke, insuku ziyeza, lapho abantu bengasayikuthi, ‘Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ekhona, yena owakhupha u-Israyeli eGibhithe,’
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Ndalo biro ma ji ok nowach kendo ni, ‘Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima, manogolo jo-Israel Misri,’
8 kodwa bazakuthi, ‘Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ekhona, yena owakhipha izizukulwane zika-Israyeli elizweni elisenyakatho lakuwo wonke amazwe abaxotshela kuwo.’ Lapho-ke bazahlala elizweni labo.”
to giniwachi, ‘Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima, mane ogolo nyithind Israel e piny ma yo nyandwat kendo e pinje duto mane oseriembogie.’ Bangʼe gibiro dak e pinygi giwegi.”
9 Mayelana labaphrofethi: Inhliziyo yami idabukile ngaphakathi kwami; wonke amathambo ami ayaqhaqhazela. Ngifana lomuntu odakiweyo, lanjengomuntu owehlulwa liwayini, ngenxa kaThixo lamazwi akhe angcwele.
Kuom jonabi: Chunya maiye ool; chokega duto tetni. Achalo ngʼama omer, mana ka ngʼama divai osemero, nikech Jehova Nyasaye kod wechene maler.
10 Ilizwe leli ligcwele izifebe; ngenxa yesiqalekiso ilizwe lomile lamadlelo enkangala abunile. Abaphrofethi balandela indlela embi, basebenzisa amandla abo ngokungalungi.
Piny opongʼ gi joma terore; nikech kwongʼ, piny obaro okak kendo kuonde kwath otimo ongoro. Jonabi luwo bangʼ timbe mamono kendo gitiyo gi teko mag-gi e yo ma ok nikare.
11 “Umphrofethi lomphristi kabakholwa kunkulunkulu; lasethempelini lami ngiyabufumana ububi babo,” kutsho uThixo.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Jonabi kod jodolo ok oluoro Nyasaye; kata mana ei hekalu mara ayudoe timbegi maricho.”
12 “Ngakho indlela yabo izatshelela; bazaxotshelwa emnyameni njalo lapho bazakuwa. Ngizabehlisela umonakalo ngomnyaka wokujeziswa kwabo,” kutsho uThixo.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Emomiyo yoregi nobed mapoth poth; notergi e mudho kendo kanyo ginipodhie piny. Anakel masira kuomgi e higa mokumgie.
13 “Phakathi kwabaphrofethi baseSamariya ngabona into eyenyanyekayo: Baphrofetha ngoBhali njalo baholela abantu bami ekulahlekeni.
“Kuom jonabi mag Samaria ne aneno gino mawangʼo ich: Ne gikoro e nying Baal kendo ma gimiyo joga Israel obayo yo.
14 Lakubaphrofethi baseJerusalema sengibone into eyesabekayo: Bayafeba baphile ngamanga. Baqinisa izandla zabenza okubi, ukuba kungabikhona oguquka ebubini bakhe. Kimi bonke banjengeSodoma; abantu baseJerusalema banjengeGomora.”
Kendo e kind jonabi mag Jerusalem aseneno gimoro malich mokadho: Giterore kendo gidak e ngima mar miriambo. Gijiwo joma timbegi mono, mondo omi kik ngʼato olokre owe timbene maricho. Giduto gichalo Sodom ne an; jo-Jerusalem chalo gi Gomora.”
15 Ngakho, mayelana labaphrofethi uThixo uSomandla uthi: “Ngizabenza badle ukudla okubabayo, banathe lamanzi aletshefu, ngoba kusukela kubaphrofethi baseJerusalema ukungakholwa kuNkulunkulu sekugcwele ilizwe lonke.”
Emomiyo, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho kuom jonabi: “Anami gicham chiemo makech kendo modh pi motimo sum, nikech koa kuom jonabi mag Jerusalem kia Nyasaye oselandore e piny ngima.”
16 UThixo uSomandla uthi: “Lingalaleli okuphrofethwa ngabaphrofethi kini; balenza lithembe amanga. Bakhuluma imibono evela ezingqondweni zabo, engaveli emlonyeni kaThixo.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho: “Kik uchik itu ne gigo ma jonabi koronu; gipongʼo itu gi geno mag miriambo. Giwachonu fweny moa e pachgi giwegi, ok moa e dho Jehova Nyasaye.
17 Bahlala besithi kulabo abangidelelayo, ‘UThixo uthi: Lizakuba lokuthula.’ Lakubo bonke abalandela inkani yezinhliziyo zabo bathi, ‘Akulabubi obuzalehlela.’
Gisiko giwachone jogo ma jara ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Unubed gi kwe.’ Kendo ne jogo maluwo timbe achach mag chunjegi wacho ni, ‘Onge gima biro hinyowa.’
18 Kodwa nguphi wabo owake wema emhlanganweni kaThixo ukuba abone kumbe ezwe ilizwi lakhe na? Ngubani olilaleleyo walizwa ilizwi lakhe?
To en ngʼa kuomgi mosechungoe kar ngʼado bura mar Jehova Nyasaye, mondo one kata owinji wachne?
19 Khangelani, isiphepho sikaThixo sizaphutsha silulaka, isavunguzane esibhoda ngolaka phezu kwamakhanda ababi.
Neuru, apaka mar Jehova Nyasaye nomwomre gi mirima, ka kalausi mafuyo e wiye joma timbegi richo.
20 Ulaka lukaThixo kaluyikuphela aze azifeze ngokupheleleyo injongo zenhliziyo yakhe. Ensukwini ezizayo lizakuzwisisa kuhle lokhu.
Mirimb Jehova Nyasaye ok nodog chien nyaka one ni ochopo thoro mar chunye. E ndalo mabiro iniwinj tiende malongʼo.
21 Abaphrofethi laba angibathumanga; kodwa bagijima lemibiko yabo; kangizange ngikhulume labo, kodwa sebephrofethile.
Ne ok aoro jonabigi, kata kamano giseringo gi wechegi; ne ok awuoyo kodgi, to kata kamano gisekoro wach.
22 Kodwa aluba babekhona emhlanganweni wami, ngabe bamemezela amazwi ami ebantwini bami njalo ngabe babaphendula ezindleleni zabo ezimbi lasezenzweni zabo ezimbi.”
To kane ginyalo chungoe kara mar ngʼado bura, dine gilando wechena ne joga kendo gilokore gia e yoregi mamono, kod timbegi mamono.”
23 UThixo uthi, “NginguNkulunkulu oseduze kuphela, uNkulunkulu ongekho khatshana na?
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Ok an Nyasaye mantie machiegni kende, to an Nyasaye man mabor bende.”
24 Umuntu angacatsha endaweni efihlakeleyo ukuba ngingamboni na?” kutsho uThixo. “Angithi ngigcwele ezulwini lasemhlabeni na?” kutsho uThixo.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Bende ngʼato nyalo pondo kuonde mopandore mondo omi kik anene? Donge apongʼo polo gi piny?”
25 “Ngikuzwile okutshiwo ngabaphrofethi abaphrofetha amanga ngebizo lami. Bathi, ‘Ngiphuphile! Ngiphuphile!’
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Asewinjo gima jonabi makoro e nyinga gi miriambo wacho. Giwacho ni, ‘Ne aleko! Ne aleko!’
26 Koze kube nini lokhu kuqhubeka ezinhliziyweni zalaba abaphrofethi abalamanga na?
Nyaka karangʼo ma gigi nosik e chunje jonabi mariambogi, makoro gigo moa e pachgi giwegi?
27 Bacabanga ukuthi amaphupho abawatshelanayo azakwenza abantu bami bakhohlwe ibizo lami, njengabokhokho babo abakhohlwa ibizo lami ngenxa yokukhonza uBhali.
Giparo ni lek ma ginyisore giwegi nomi ji wigi nowil gi nyinga, mana kaka wuonegi wigi nowil koda kaluwore gilamo mane gilamogo Baal.”
28 Akuthi umphrofethi ophupha iphupho kalitsho, kodwa lowo olelizwi lami kalikhulume ngobuqotho, ngoba amakhoba angenzani lamabele na?” kutsho uThixo.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “We janabi man-gi lek owach lekne, to we ngʼat man giwachna owache gadiera. Nimar en angʼo ma miudhwe nyalo timo gi cham?”
29 “Ilizwi lami kalinjengomlilo,” kutsho uThixo, “lanjengesando esidabula idwala libe yizicucu na?”
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Donge wachna chalo gi mach kendo ka nyundo matoyo kidi matindo tindo?”
30 UThixo uthi, “Ngakho, ngimelana labaphrofethi abantshontsha kwabanye amazwi okuthiwa avela kimi.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Emomiyo amon gi jonabi makwalo weche ma giwacho ni oa kuoma e kindgi giwegi.”
31 Yebo, ngimelana labaphrofethi abasebenzisa indimi zabo kodwa bathi, ‘UThixo uthi,’
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Ee, ok ahero jonabi ma milo lewgi giwegi kagiwacho ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye owacho.’”
32 Ngeqiniso, ngimelana lalabo abaphrofetha amaphupho amanga,” kutsho uThixo. “Bayawatsho baholele abantu bami ekulahlekeni ngamanga abo lamawala, ikanti angizange ngibathume kumbe ngibakhethe. Kababasizi ngalutho abantu laba,” kutsho uThixo.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Adiera, ok ahero jogo makoro lek mag miriambo. Ginyisogi kendo giwito joga gi miriambo mag-gi maonge korgi gi atachgi, to ne ok aorogi kata yierogi. Ok gimi jogi ohala kata matin,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
33 “Nxa abantu laba, loba umphrofethi kumbe umphristi, bebuza besithi, ‘Izilo likaThixo kuyini?’ wothi kubo, ‘Izilo liphi? Ngizakulahla, kutsho uThixo.’
“Ka jogi, kata janabi kata jadolo, openji ni, ‘Wach mar Jehova Nyasaye en mane?’ To penjgi ni, ‘Wach mane? Anajwangʼu, Jehova Nyasaye owacho.’
34 Nxa umphrofethi loba umphristi kumbe omunye umuntu esithi, ‘Leli lizilo likaThixo,’ lowomuntu ngizamjezisa kanye labendlu yakhe.
Ka janabi kata jadolo kata ngʼato angʼata owacho ni, ‘Ma en wach mar Jehova Nyasaye,’ to anakum ngʼatno kod joode duto.
35 Lokhu yikho omunye wenu ohlala ekutsho kumngane wakhe loba isihlobo sakhe ukuthi: ‘Impendulo kaThixo ithini na?’ loba ‘UThixo utheni?’
Ma e gima ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu siko wachone osiepne kata watne: ‘Dwoko Jehova Nyasaye en angʼo?’ kata, ‘En angʼo ma Jehova Nyasaye wacho?’
36 Kodwa akumelanga lithi ‘izilo likaThixo’ futhi, ngoba umuntu wonke ilizwi lakhe liba lizilo lakhe ngoba liyawahlanekela amazwi kaNkulunkulu ophilayo, uThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu wethu.
To kik ichak iwach kendo ni, ‘wach mar Jehova Nyasaye,’ nikech wach ngʼato ka ngʼato owuon ema bedone wach maber bangʼe ijaro weche Nyasaye mangima, Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ma Nyasachwa.
37 Lokhu yikho elihlala likutsho kumphrofethi ukuthi, ‘Impendulo kaThixo kuwe ithini?’ loba ‘UThixo utheni?’
Ma e gima usebedo ka unyiso janabi: ‘Jehova Nyasaye miyi dwoko mane?’ kata, ‘Jehova Nyasaye osewacho angʼo?’
38 Lanxa lina lisithi, ‘Leli lizilo likaThixo,’ uThixo uthi: Lasebenzisa amazwi athi, ‘Leli lizilo likaThixo.’ Lanxa mina ngalitshela ukuthi lingabokuthi, ‘Leli lizilo likaThixo.’
Kata obedo ni iwacho ni, ‘Ma e wach mar Jehova Nyasaye,’ to ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Ne itiyo gi weche ka iwacho ni, ‘Ma e wach mar Jehova Nyasaye,’ kata obedoni ne awachonu ni kik uwach ni, ‘Ma e wach mar Jehova Nyasaye.’
39 Ngakho, ngeqiniso ngizalikhohlwa ngiliphosele khatshana lami kanye ledolobho engalinika lona lina labokhokho benu.
Emomiyo, adiera wiya nowil kodu kendo ma agolu oko e nyim wangʼa kaachiel gi dala maduongʼ mane amiyou kod wuoneu.
40 Ngizalehlisela ihlazo elingapheliyo lokuyangeka okungayikukhohlakala.”
Anakelnu wichkuot manyaka chiengʼ ma en wichkuot ma wich ok nowilgo.”
