UJeremiya 3
1 “Indoda ingehlukana lomkayo ayitshiye endele kwenye indoda, kufanele imbuyise futhi na? Kambe ilizwe lingeke langcoliswa kakhulukazi na? Kodwa wena usuphile njengesifebe esilezithandwa ezinengi, kambe khathesi ungabuyela kimi na?” kutsho uThixo.
Saying there! he will send away a husband wife his and she will go from with him and she will belong to a man another ¿ will he return to her again ¿ not certainly will it be polluted the land that and you you have acted as a prostitute companions many and will you return? to me [the] utterance of Yahweh.
2 “Khangela emiqolweni elugwadule ubone. Kungaphi lapho ongazange udlwangululwe khona? Emigwaqweni wahlala ulindele izithandwa, wahlala njengomhambuma enkangala. Ulingcolisile ilizwe ngobufebe bakho langobubi bakho.
Lift up eyes your on bare heights and see where? not (have you been lain with *Q(K)*) at roads you sat for them like an Arab in the wilderness and you have polluted [the] land by prostitution your and by wickedness your.
3 Ngalokho imikhizo imisiwe, lezulu lentwasa kalinanga. Ikanti wena uziphethe okwesifebe, awulanhloni.
And they have been withheld copious showers and spring rain not it has come and [the] forehead of a woman a prostitute it belonged to you you refused to be ashamed.
4 Kawungibizanga khathesi nje wathi, ‘Baba, mngane wami kusukela ebutsheni bami,
¿ Not from now (have you called *Q(K)*) to me O father my [were] [the] close friend of youth my you.
5 uzahlala uzondile kokuphela na? Ulaka lwakho luzaqhubeka kokuphela na?’ Le yindlela okhuluma ngayo, kodwa wenza konke okubi ongakwenza.”
¿ Will he maintain for ever or? will he keep to perpetuity here! (you spoke *Q(K)*) and you did wicked things and you were able.
6 Ekubuseni kwenkosi uJosiya, uThixo wathi kimi, “Ukubonile yini okwenziwe ngu-Israyeli ongathembekanga? Usekhwele phezu kwamaqaqa wonke aphakemeyo langaphansi kwezihlahla zonke eziluhlaza wafebela khona.
And he said Yahweh to me in [the] days of Josiah the king ¿ have you seen [that] which she has done [the] apostate one Israel [has been] going she on every hill high and to under every tree luxuriant and she has acted as a prostitute there.
7 Ngacabanga ukuthi emva kokuba esenze konke lokhu uzaphinda eze kimi, kodwa kabuyanga, lodadewabo ongathembekanga uJuda wakubona lokho.
And I thought after has done she all these [things] to me she will return and not she has returned (and she saw *Q(k)*) treacherous sister her Judah.
8 U-Israyeli ongathembekanga ngamnika incwadi yakhe yesehlukaniso ngamxotsha ngenxa yobufebe bakhe bonke. Kodwa ngabona ukuthi udadewabo ongathembekanga, uJuda, kesabanga, laye wasuka wayafeba.
And I saw that on all causes that she committed adultery [the] apostate one Israel I sent away her and I gave [the] document of divorce her to her and not she was afraid treacherous Judah sister her and she went and she acted as a prostitute also she.
9 Ngenxa yokuthi ububi buka-Israyeli babungatsho lutho kuye, wangcolisa ilizwe wakhonza amatshe lezihlahla.
And it was from [the] lightness of prostitution her and it was polluted the land and she committed adultery stone and wood.
10 Kukho konke lokhu, udadewabo ongathembekanga uJuda kabuyelanga kimi ngenhliziyo yakhe yonke, kodwa ngokuzenzisa nje kuphela,” kutsho uThixo.
And also for all this not she returned to me treacherous sister her Judah with all heart her that except with deception [the] utterance of Yahweh.
11 UThixo wathi kimi, “U-Israyeli ongathembekanga ungcono kuloJuda ongelaqiniso.
And he said Yahweh to me she has made appear righteous self her [the] apostate one Israel more than [the] treacherous [one] Judah.
12 Hamba, uyememezela ilizwi leli ngasenyakatho: ‘Phenduka Israyeli ongathembekanga,’ kutsho uThixo, ‘Kangisayikukuhwaqela futhi, ngoba ngilesihawu,’ kutsho uThixo. ‘Kangiyikuthukuthela kokuphela.
Go and you will proclaim the words these north-ward and you will say return! O apostate one Israel [the] utterance of Yahweh not I will make fall face my on you for [am] faithful I [the] utterance of Yahweh not I will maintain for ever.
13 Vuma icala lakho nje kuphela, wahlamukela uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho, uzihlakazelele kubonkulunkulu bezizweni ngaphansi kwezihlahla zonke eziluhlaza, njalo kawaze wangilalela,’” kutsho uThixo.
Only recognize iniquity your that against Yahweh God your you have rebelled and you have scattered ways your to strangers under every tree luxuriant and to voice my not you have listened [the] utterance of Yahweh.
14 “Phendukani, bantu abangathembekanga,” kutsho uThixo, “ngoba ngingumyeni wenu. Ngizalikhetha, oyedwa edolobheni lababili emulini ngililethe eZiyoni.
Return O sons backsliding [the] utterance of Yahweh for I I am husband over you and I will take you one from a city and two from a clan and I will bring you Zion.
15 Lapho-ke ngizalinika abelusi abathandwa yimi, abazalikhokhela ngokwazi langokuqedisisa.
And I will give to you shepherds according to own heart my and they will shepherd you knowledge and insight.
16 Ngalezonsuku, ubunengi benu sebande kakhulu elizweni,” kutsho uThixo, “abantu kabasayikuthi, ‘Ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo.’ Kaliyikufika emicabangweni yabo kumbe likhunjulwe; kaliyikudingakala, njalo akuyikwenziwa elinye futhi.
And it will be that you will multiply and you will be fruitful in the land in the days those [the] utterance of Yahweh not people will say again [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh and not it will come up on a heart and not people will remember it and not people will miss [it] and not it will be made again.
17 Ngalesosikhathi iJerusalema bazalibiza ngokuthi yisiHlalo Sobukhosi sikaThixo, njalo izizwe zonke zizabuthana eJerusalema ukuba zihloniphe ibizo likaThixo. Kabasayikulandela inkani yezinhliziyo zabo ezimbi.
At the time that people will call Jerusalem [the] throne of Yahweh and they will be collected to it all the nations to [the] name of Yahweh to Jerusalem and not they will walk again after [the] stubbornness of heart their evil.
18 Ngalezonsuku indlu kaJuda izahlangana leka-Israyeli, njalo ndawonye, zivela elizweni elisenyakatho, zizakuza elizweni engalinika okhokho benu ukuba libe yilifa labo.
In the days those they will walk [the] house of Judah with [the] house of Israel so they may come together from a land of [the] north to the land which I gave as an inheritance ancestors your.
19 Mina ngokwami ngathi, ‘Kade ngingathaba kakhulu ukuliphatha njengamadodana, ngilinike ilizwe elifunekayo, ilifa elihle kakhulu ezizweni zonke.’ Bengicabanga ukuthi lizangibiza ngokuthi ‘Baba’ njalo lingaphambuki ekungilandeleni.
And I I thought how! I will set you among the sons so I may give to you a land of desire an inheritance of beauty of beauties of nations and I thought father my (you will call *Q(K)*) me and from after me not (you will turn away. *Q(K)*)
20 Kodwa njengowesifazane ongathembekanga kumkakhe, ubungathembekanga kimi wena ndlu ka-Israyeli,” kutsho uThixo.
Nevertheless she deals treacherously a woman from companion her so you have dealt treacherously with me O house of Israel [the] utterance of Yahweh.
21 Ilizwi liyezwakala emiqolweni elugwadule, ukukhala lokuncenga kwabantu bako-Israyeli, ngoba izindlela zabo bazonile bakhohlwa loThixo uNkulunkulu wabo.
A sound on bare heights [is] heard [the] weeping of [the] supplications of [the] people of Israel for they have perverted way their they have forgotten Yahweh God their.
22 “Phendukani, bantu abangathembekanga, ngizalelapha ukungathembeki kwenu.” “Yebo, sizakuza kuwe, ngoba unguThixo uNkulunkulu wethu.
Return O sons backsliding I will heal apostasies your here [are] we we have come to you for you [are] Yahweh God our.
23 Impela umsindo wokukhonza izithombe emaqaqeni lasezintabeni uyinkohliso, ngempela kuThixo uNkulunkulu wethu kulensindiso ka-Israyeli.
Truly to deception from [the] hills a tumult mountains truly [is] in Yahweh God our [the] salvation of Israel.
24 Kusukela ebutsheni bethu onkulunkulu abalihlazo badlile izithelo zamandla abobaba, imihlambi yezimvu zabo leyezinkomo zabo, amadodana abo lamadodakazi abo.
And the shameful thing it has consumed [the] toil of ancestors our since youth our flock[s] their and herd[s] their sons their and daughters their.
25 Kasilaleni phansi silenhloni, siphathwe lihlazo lethu. Ngoba sonile kuThixo uNkulunkulu wethu, thina sonke kanye labokhokho bethu; kusukela ebutsheni bethu kuze kube lamhla, kasimlalelanga uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu.”
Let us lie down in shame our and let it cover us disgrace our for to Yahweh God our we have sinned we and ancestors our since youth our and until the day this and not we have listened to [the] voice of Yahweh God our.
