UJeremiya 34
1 Kwathi uNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni lebutho lakhe lonke kanye lemibuso yonke, labantu basemazweni ayewabusa besilwa leJerusalema lawo wonke amadolobho alo ayeseduzane, ilizwi leli lafika kuJeremiya livela kuThixo lisithi;
Ko e folofola naʻe hoko meia Sihova kia Selemaia, ʻi he te u tau ki Selūsalema mo hono ngaahi kolo ʻo ia, ʻa Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, mo ʻene kautau kotoa pē, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani naʻa ne pule ki ai, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē, ʻo pehē,
2 “UThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi: Yana kuZedekhiya inkosi yakoJuda uthi kuye, ‘UThixo uthi: Sekuseduze ukuthi idolobho leli ngilinikele enkosini yaseBhabhiloni, njalo izalitshisa ngomlilo.
“ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; ‘ʻAlu ʻo lea kia Setikia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea tala kiate ia, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Vakai, te u tukuange ʻae kolo ni ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea te ne tutu ʻaki ia ʻae afi:
3 Kawuyikuphunyuka esandleni sayo kodwa uzathunjwa impela unikelwe kuyo. Inkosi yaseBhabhiloni uzayibona ngamehlo akho, njalo izakhuluma lawe ubuso ngobuso. Njalo uzahamba eBhabhiloni.
Pea ʻe ʻikai te ke hao koe mei hono nima, ka ʻe maʻu moʻoni koe, pea tukuange koe ki hono nima; pea ʻe mamata ʻe he fofonga ki he fofonga ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea te mo alea mo ia ko e ngutu ki he ngutu, pea te ke ʻalu ki Papilone.”’
4 Kodwa-ke zwana isithembiso sikaThixo, wena Zedekhiya nkosi yakoJuda. Ngawe uThixo uthi: Awuyikufa ngenkemba;
“Ka ke fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻE Setikia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta: ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, kiate koe, ‘ʻE ʻikai te ke mate koe ʻi he heletā.
5 uzakufa ngokuthula. Njengoba abantu babasa umlilo wesililo bekhumbula oyihlo, amakhosi akuqala akwandulelayo, ngokunjalo bazabasa umlilo wokukukhumbula, balile bathi, Maye, Oh Nkosi! Mina ngokwami ngenza isithembiso lesi, kutsho uThixo.’”
Ka te ke pekia ʻi he fiemālie: pea hangē ko e tutu [naʻe fai ]ki hoʻo ngaahi tamai ko e ngaahi ʻuluaki tuʻi naʻe muʻa ʻiate koe, ʻe pehē ʻenau tutu meʻa namu kakala kiate koe; pea te nau mamahi koeʻuhi ko koe, ʻo pehē, “ʻOiauē ʻeiki!” He kuo u fakahā ʻae lea,’ ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.”
6 Ngakho uJeremiya umphrofethi wamtshela konke lokhu uZedekhiya inkosi yakoJuda, eJerusalema,
Pea naʻe toki lea ʻaki ʻe Selemaia ko e palōfita ʻae ngaahi lea ni kotoa pē kia Setikia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta ʻi Selūsalema,
7 lapho ibutho lenkosi yaseBhabhiloni lalisilwa leJerusalema lamanye amadolobho akoJuda ayelokhu esaqinisele, iLakhishi le-Azekha. La yiwo kuphela amadolobho ayevikelwe ngezinqaba ayesasele koJuda.
ʻI he tau ʻoe kau tau ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone ki Selūsalema, pea mo e kolo kotoa pē ʻo Siuta naʻe toe, ʻa Lakisi, mo ʻAseka: he naʻe toe ʻae ongo kolo tau ni ʻi Siuta.
8 Ilizwi lafika kuJeremiya livela kuThixo emva kokuba inkosi uZedekhiya esenze isivumelwano labantu bonke baseJerusalema sokumemezela ukukhululwa kwezigqili.
Ko eni ʻae folofola naʻe hoko meia Sihova kia Selemaia, hili hono fai ʻae fuakava ʻe Setikia ko e tuʻi mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi Selūsalema, ke fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻae tauʻatāina;
9 Wonke umuntu kwakumele akhulule izigqili zakhe ezingamaHebheru, ezesilisa lezesifazane; kakho owayezagcina umJuda wakibo ebugqilini.
Koeʻuhi ke taki taha tukuange ʻe he tangata ʻa ʻene tamaioʻeiki, mo ʻene kaunanga, ke tauʻatāina, ʻo kapau ko e tangata Hepelū pe ko e fefine Hepelū; koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa tamaioʻeiki ʻaki ʻe ha Siu ʻa hono tokoua.
10 Ngakho zonke izikhulu labantu bonke abenza isivumelwano lesi bavuma ukuthi babezakhulula izigqili zabo zesilisa lezesifazane bangazigcini ebugqilini futhi. Bavuma, bazikhulula.
Pea naʻe tokanga ʻae houʻeiki kotoa pē, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē, ʻakinautolu naʻe fai ʻae fuakava, ke taki taha tukuange ʻene tamaioʻeiki, mo ʻene kaunanga ke tauʻatāina, ke ʻoua naʻa pule ʻe ha taha kiate kinautolu, pea naʻa nau fai ia, ʻonau tuku ke nau ʻalu.
11 Kodwa muva bantshintsha ingqondo zabo bazithumba njalo izigqili zabo ababezikhulule bazenza izigqili futhi.
Kae hili ia naʻa nau tafoki, pea pule ki he tamaioʻeiki mo e kaunanga, ko kinautolu kuo nau tukuange ke tauʻatāina, ke toe haʻu, pea toe pule kiate kinautolu ke nau tamaioʻeiki mo kaunanga.
12 Ilizwi likaThixo laselifika kuJeremiya lisithi,
Ko ia naʻe haʻu ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Selemaia meia Sihova, ʻo pehē,
13 “UThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi: Ngenza isivumelwano labokhokho benu ekubakhupheni kwami eGibhithe, elizweni lobugqili. Ngathi,
“ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; ‘Naʻaku fai ʻae fuakava mo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai ʻi he ʻaho naʻaku ʻomi ai ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mei he fale fakapōpula, ʻo pehē,
14 ‘Ngeminyaka yonke yesikhombisa omunye lomunye wenu kumele akhulule umHebheru wakibo ozithengise kuwe. Emva kokuba esekusebenzele iminyaka eyisithupha, kumele umkhulule ahambe.’ Kodwa okhokho benu, kabangilalelanga njalo kabanginakanga.
ʻOka hili ʻae taʻu ʻe fitu te mou tukuange ʻae tangata taki taha hono tokoua ko e Hepelū, ʻaia kuo fakatau kiate koe, pea hili ʻene tauhi kiate koe ʻi he taʻu ʻe ono, ke ke tukuange ia ke ne tauʻatāina meiate koe: ka naʻe ʻikai fanongo kiate au ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, pe fakafanongo mai honau telinga.
15 Ngesikhathi esisanda kudlula laphenduka lenza okulungileyo emehlweni ami: Omunye lomunye wenu wamemezela ukukhululwa kwabantu belizwe lakibo. Laze lenza lesivumelwano phambi kwami endlini eleBizo lami.
Pea naʻa mou tafoki eni, ʻo fai totonu ʻi hoku ʻao, ʻi hoʻomou taki taha fakatauʻatāinaʻi ʻa hono kaungāʻapi; pea naʻa mou fai ʻae fuakava ʻi hoku ʻao ʻi he fale kuo ui ʻaki hoku huafa:
16 Kodwa khathesi seliguquke langcolisa ibizo lami; omunye lomunye wenu usezithumbile futhi izigqili zesilisa lezesifazane elalizikhulule ukuba zizihambele lapho ezifuna khona. Selizibambe ngamandla ukuba zibe yizigqili zenu futhi.
Ka naʻa mou liliu ʻo fakaʻuliʻi hoku huafa, pea naʻe pule ʻe he tangata taki taha ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, mo e tangata taki taha ki heʻene kaunanga, ko kinautolu naʻa ne fakatauʻatāinaʻi ke faʻiteliha pe, ke toe haʻu, pea fakamoʻulaloa ʻakinautolu, ke hoko ko e tamaioʻeiki mo e kaunanga kiate kimoutolu.’”
17 Ngakho, lokhu yikho uThixo akutshoyo: Kalingilalelanga; kalimemezelanga ukukhululwa kwabantu belizwe lakini. Ngakho khathesi ngimemezela ‘inkululeko’ yenu, kutsho uThixo, ‘inkululeko’ yokubulawa ngenkemba, yisifo lendlala. Ngizalenza linengeke kuyo yonke imibuso yomhlaba.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Naʻe ʻikai te mou fanongo kiate au, ke fakahā ʻae tauʻatāina taki taha ki hono tokoua, mo e tangata taki taha ki hono kaungāʻapi: ko ia,” ʻoku pehē mai ʻa Sihova, “Vakai, Te u fakahā ʻae tauʻatāina kiate kimoutolu, ki he heletā, mo e mahaki fakaʻauha, pea mo e honge; pea te u pule ke fetuku ʻakimoutolu ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani.
18 Abantu abephula isivumelwano sami kabaze bagcwalisa izimiso zesivumelwano abasenza phambi kwami, ngizabaphatha njengethole abalidabula phakathi basebehamba phakathi kweziqa zalo.
Pea te u foaki ʻae kau tangata, ko kinautolu kuo maumauʻi ʻeku fuakava, ko kinautolu ʻoku teʻeki ai ke fakamoʻoni ʻae ngaahi lea ʻoe fuakava ʻaia naʻa nau fai ʻi hoku ʻao, ʻi heʻenau fahi ua ʻae ʻuhikiʻi pulu, pea ʻalu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ongo fahi,
19 Abakhokheli bakoJuda labeJerusalema, izikhulu zasemthethwandaba, abaphristi labantu bonke abahamba phakathi kweziqa zethole,
Ko e houʻeiki ʻo Siuta, mo e houʻeiki ʻo Selūsalema, ko e kau talifekau, mo e kau taulaʻeiki, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, ko kinautolu naʻe ʻalu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ongo fahi ʻoe ʻuhikiʻi pulu;
20 ngizabanikela ezitheni zabo ezifuna ukubabulala. Izidumbu zabo zizakuba yikudla kwezinyoni zasemoyeni lezinyamazana zeganga.
Te u foaki ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻo honau ngaahi fili, pea ki he nima ʻonautolu ʻoku kumi ki heʻenau moʻui: pea ʻe hoko honau ʻangaʻanga ko e meʻakai ki he fanga manupuna ʻoe langi, pea ki he fanga manu ʻoe fonua.
21 UZedekhiya inkosi yakoJuda kanye lezikhulu zakhe ngizabanikela ezitheni zabo ezifuna ukubabulala, lakubutho lenkosi yaseBhabhiloni eselisukile kini.
“Pea te u foaki ʻa Setikia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta mo hono houʻeiki ki he nima ʻo honau ngaahi fili, pea ki he nima ʻokinautolu ʻoku kumi ki heʻenau moʻui, pea ki he nima ʻoe kau tau ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ʻakinautolu kuo ʻalu hake ʻiate kimoutolu.”
22 Ngizakhupha ilizwi, kutsho uThixo njalo ngizababuyisa futhi kulelidolobho. Bazakulwa lalo, balithumbe, balitshise ngomlilo. Amadolobho akoJuda ngizawabhidliza ukuze kungabi lamuntu ohlala kuwo.”
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, te u fekau pea pule kiate kinautolu ke nau toe hau ki he kolo ni; pea te nau tauʻi ia, pea lavaʻi ia, pea tutu ia ʻaki ʻae afi pea te u ngaohi ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta ke lala taʻehanokakai.”
