< UJeremiya 4 >

1 “Nxa uphenduka, wena Israyeli, buyela kimi,” kutsho uThixo. “Ungasusa phambi kwami izithombe zakho ezenyanyekayo ungabe usaphambuka futhi,
“Yaa Israaʼel, ati yoo deebite, gara kootti deebiʼi” jedha Waaqayyo. “Yoo ati waaqota kee jibbisiisoo sana fuula koo duraa balleessitee siʼachi karaa irraa jalʼachuu baatte,
2 njalo nxa uzafunga ngobuqotho, ngokulunga langokuqonda, uthi, ‘Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ekhona,’ ngakho izizwe uzazibusisa ziziqhenye ngaye.”
yoo ati, ‘Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa’ jettee dhugaadhaan, murtii qajeelaa fi qajeelummaadhaan kakatte, saboonni isaan ni eebbifamu; isumaanis ni kabajamu.”
3 Ebantwini bakoJuda labeJerusalema uThixo uthi: “Qhathani ingqatho yenu, lingahlanyeli phakathi kwameva.
Waaqayyo namoota Yihuudaatii fi namoota Yerusaalemiin akkana jedha: “Bajjii keessan qotadhaa; qoraattii keessas hin facaasinaa.
4 Zisokeleni kuThixo, lisoke inhliziyo zenu, lina bantu bakoJuda lani bantu baseJerusalema, hlezi ulaka lwami luvuke luvuthe njengomlilo ngenxa yobubi elibenzileyo, lutshise kungekho muntu ongalucitsha.”
Yaa namoota Yihuudaatii fi uummata Yerusaalem Waaqayyoof dhagna of qabaa; qola qalbii keessaniis dhagna qabadhaa; yoo kanaa achii sababii hammina isin hojjetaniitiif dheekkamsi koo kaʼee akka ibiddaa ni bobaʼa; namni isa dhaamsus hin jiru.
5 “Bikani koJuda limemezele laseJerusalema lithi: ‘Tshayani icilongo elizweni lonke!’ Klabalalani lithi, ‘Buthanani ndawonye! Kasibalekeleni emadolobheni avikelweyo!’
“Yihuudaa keessatti beeksisaa; Yerusaalem keessattis akkana jedhaa labsaa: ‘Biyyattii guutuu keessatti malakata afuufaa! Sagalee ol fudhadhaatii akkana jedhaa: walitti qabamaa! Kottaa gara magaalaawwan dallaa jabaa qabaniitti baqannaa!’
6 Phakamisani uphawu lokuya eZiyoni! Balekelani ekusileni ngokuphangisa! Ngoba ngiletha umonakalo ovela enyakatho, lencithakalo embi kakhulu.”
Xiyoon dhaquuf faajjii ol qabaa? Dafaa baqadhaa malee duubatti hin harkifatinaa! Ani karaa kaabaatiin balaa, badiisa suukaneessaas nan fidaatii.”
7 Isilwane sesiphumile esikhundleni saso, umchithi wezizwe usephumile. Usesukile endaweni yakhe ukuba achithe ilizwe lenu. Amadolobho enu azakuba ngamanxiwa engelamuntu ohlala kuwo.
Leenci bosona isaatii baʼeera; barbadeessaan sabootaa karaa qabateera. Inni biyya kee onsuuf jedhee iddoo isaatii kaʼeera. Magaalaawwan kee onanii jiraattota malee ni hafu.
8 Ngakho gqokani amasaka, khalani lilile, ngoba ulaka lukaThixo olwesabekayo kalususwanga kithi.
Kanaafuu isin uffata gaddaa uffadhaatii booʼaa wawwaadhaa; dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo sodaachisaan sun nurraa hin deebineetii.
9 UThixo uthi, “Ngalolosuku inkosi lezikhulu bazaphelelwa lithemba, abaphristi bazathuthumela, abaphrofethi bazakwesaba.”
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Guyyaa sana mootiinii fi qondaaltonni onnee dhabu; luboonni akka malee naʼu; raajonnis ni raafamu.”
10 Lapho-ke mina ngathi, “Awu, Thixo Wobukhosi, ubakhohlisile sibili abantu laba kanye leJerusalema ngokuthi, ‘Lizakuba lokuthula,’ inkemba yona isemiphinjeni yethu!”
Anis akkana nan jedhe; “Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ati utuu goraadeen kokkee keenya irra jiruu, ‘Isin nagaa qabaattu’ jechuudhaan saba kanaa fi Yerusaalemin guutumaan guutuutti gowwoomsiteerta?”
11 Ngalesosikhathi abantu laba leJerusalema kuzathiwa kubo, “Umoya otshisayo ovela enkangala emiqolweni elugwadule uvunguza usiya ebantwini bami, kodwa kungayisikwela kumbe ukuhlungula,
Yeroo sanatti saba kanaa fi Yerusaalemitti akkana jedhamee ni himama; “Bubbeen waa gubu tokko iddoowwan ol kaʼoo qullaa kanneen gammoojjii keessaa irraa gara saba kootiitti ni bubbisa; garuu afarsuuf yookaan qulqulleessuuf miti;
12 umoya olamandla kakhulu uvela kimi. Khathesi-ke sengimemezela ukwahlulela kwami kubo.”
bubbeen waan sanaaf akka malee cimaa taʼe tokko na biraa ni dhufa. Anis murtii koo isaanitti nan labsa.”
13 Khangela! Uyeza njengamayezi, izinqola zakhe zempi zibuya njengesivunguzane, amabhiza akhe alesiqubu esedlula esengqungqulu. Maye! Sesiphelile!
Kunoo, inni akka duumessaatti, gaariin isaas akka bubbeetti ni dhufa; fardeen isaa risaa caalaa saffisu. Wayyoo nu baduu keenya!
14 We Jerusalema, geza ububi obusenhliziyweni yakho usindiswe. Koze kube nini ugcine imicabango emibi na?
Yaa Yerusaalem, ati akka fayyituuf qalbii kee keessaa hammina dhiqadhu. Hamma yoomiitti yaadni hamaan si keessa jiraata?
15 Ilizwi elivela koDani liyamemeza, libika umonakalo ovela emaqaqeni ako-Efrayimi
Sagaleen tokko Daan irraa lallaba; tulluuwwan Efreem irraas badiisa labsa.
16 Izizwe zitshele lokhu, ukubike laseJerusalema, “Ibutho elivimbezelayo liyeza livela elizweni elikhatshana, limemezela umkhosi wempi emadolobheni akoJuda.
“Waan kana sabootatti himaa; Yerusaalemittis akkana jedhaa lallabaa: ‘Loltoonni marsanii biyya qabatan tokko lafa fagoodhaa ni dhufu; isaanis magaalaawwan Yihuudaatti ni iyyu.
17 Balihanqile njengabantu abalinda insimu, ngoba langihlamukela,” kutsho uThixo.
Sababii isheen natti fincilteef, isaan akkuma nama lafa qotiisaa eegu tokkootti ishee ni marsu,’” jedha Waaqayyo.
18 “Ukuziphatha kwakho lezenzo zakho kwehlisele lokhu phezu kwakho. Lesi yisijeziso sakho. Sibuhlungu kakhulu! Sihlaba enhliziyweni!”
“Amalli keetii fi hojiin kee waan kana sitti fidaniiru. Adabbiin kee kanaa dha. Innis hammam hadhaaʼa! Onnees hammam waraana!”
19 Maye, ngobuhlungu, ubuhlungu engibuzwayo. Ngiyazitshila ngenxa yobuhlungu. Maye, ngokufuthelwa kwenhliziyo yami! Inhliziyo yami iyatshaya ngaphakathi kwami, angingeke ngithule, ngoba ukukhala kwecilongo sengikuzwile, umkhosi wempi sengiwuzwile.
Marʼumaan ko, marʼumaan ko! Ani dhukkubbiidhaan nan wixxirfadha. Onneen koo na keessaa waca; onneen koo na keessatti dhaʼata; ani calʼisuu hin dandaʼu. Ani sagalee malakataa dhagaʼeeraatii; waca waraanaas dhagaʼeera.
20 Incithakalo ilandela incithakalo, ilizwe lonke selingamanxiwa. Ngesikhatshana nje amathente ami adiliziwe, lamakhetheni ami ngomzuzwana nje.
Badiisni badiisa irraan dhufa; biyyattiin guutumaan guutuutti ni onti. Dunkaanni koo akkuma tasaa, golgaan koos yeroo gabaabaa keessatti bade.
21 Koze kube nini ngibona uphawu lwempi ngisizwa lokukhala kwecilongo na?
Ani hamma yoomiittin mallattoo waraanaa ilaala? Hamma yoomiittis sagalee malakataa dhagaʼa?
22 “Abantu bami bayiziwula, kabangazi. Bangabantwana abangelangqondo, kabalakho ukuqedisisa. Bahlakaniphele ukwenza okubi, kabakwazi ukwenza okulungileyo.”
“Uummanni koo gowwaa dha; anas hin beekan. Isaan ijoollee qalbii hin qabnee dha; hubannaas hin qaban. Isaan waan hamaa hojjechuutti ogeeyyii dha; waan gaarii hojjechuu garuu hin beekan.”
23 Ngakhangela umhlaba, wawungelasimo njalo ungelalutho; lasemazulwini, ukukhanya kwawo kwakungasekho.
Ani lafa nan ilaale; isheenis bifa hin qabdu; duwwaas turte; samiiwwanis nan ilaale; ifni isaanii dhaamee ture.
24 Ngakhangela ezintabeni, zazinyikinyeka, lamaqaqa wonke ayezunguzeka.
Ani tulluuwwan nan ilaale; isaan sochoʼaa turan; gaarran hundinuus raafamaa turan.
25 Ngakhangela, kwakungelabantu, izinyoni zonke zasezisukile emkhathini.
Ani nan ilaale; namni tokko iyyuu hin turre; simbirroonni samii hundis barrisanii badanii turan.
26 Ngakhangela, ilizwe elithelayo laseliyinkangala, amadolobho alo wonke ayesengamanxiwa phambi kukaThixo, phambi kolaka lwakhe olwesabekayo.
Ani nan ilaale; kunoo biyyi midhaan baaftu ontee turte; magaalaawwan ishee hundis, fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dheekkamsa isaa sodaachisaa sanaan diigaman.
27 UThixo uthi: “Ilizwe lonke lizachitheka lanxa ngingayikulitshabalalisa ngokupheleleyo.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Yoo ani guutumaan guutuutti ishee balleessuu baadhe iyyuu biyyattiin guutumaan guutuutti ni barbadoofti.
28 Ngakho umhlaba uzalila iphezulu libe mnyama, ngoba sengikhulumile njalo angiyikuyekethisa, sengenze isinqumo angiyikubuyela emuva.”
Kanaafuu lafti ni boossi; samiiwwan oliis ni dukkanaaʼu; ani dubbadheeraatii hin gaabbu; murteesseera; dugda duubas hin deebiʼu.”
29 Ekuzwakaleni komsindo wabagadi bamabhiza labemitshoko amadolobho wonke ayabaleka. Abanye bangena ezixukwini, abanye bakhwele emadwaleni. Amadolobho wonke atshiyiwe, akulamuntu ohlala kuwo.
Sababii iyya abbootii fardeeniitii fi futtaaftota xiyyaatiin, tokkoon tokkoon magaalaa ni baqata. Garri tokko bosona gobbuu seena; kaan immoo kattaatti ol baʼa; magaalaawwan hundi duwwaa hafaniiru; namni tokko iyyuu isaan keessa hin jiraatu.
30 Wenzani na, wena ohlutshwe kakhulu? Kungani ugqoka okubomvu gebhu ufaka lezigqoko zegolide na? Kungani ucomba amehlo akho ngomphendulo na? Uzicecisela ize. Izithandwa zakho ziyakweyisa, zifuna ukukubulala.
Yaa ontuu nana, ati maal gochaa jirta? Ati maaliif wayyaa bildiimaa uffattee faaya warqee kaaʼatte? Maaliif ija kee kuulatte? Ati akkasumaan of miidhagsita. Warri jaallatan si tuffatu; lubbuu kees balleessuu barbaadu.
31 Ngizwa ukukhala okunjengokowesifazane ohelelwayo, ukububula okufana lozuza umntwana wakhe wakuqala, ukukhala kweNdodakazi yaseZiyoni ikhefuzela, yelule izandla zayo isithi, “Maye mina! Amandla ami asephela, ukuphila kwami sekunikelwe kubabulali.”
Ani iyya akka iyya dubartii ciniinsifattu tokkoo, miixuu akka miixuu dubartii mucaa hangafa deessuu tokko nan dhagaʼe; ani iyya Intala Xiyoon kan yeroo hafuurri ishee citutti argantee harka ishee facaasuudhaan, “Wayyoo! Ani bade; lubbuun koo harka warra nama ajjeesuutti dabarfamtee kennamteerti” jettuu nan dhagaʼe.
