UJeremiya 43

1 Kwathi uJeremiya eseqedile ukutshela abantu wonke amazwi kaThixo uNkulunkulu wabo, konke uThixo ayemthume ukuthi abatshele khona,

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, kuo fakaʻosi ʻe Selemaia ʻene lea ʻaki ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi folofola kotoa pē ʻa Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe fekau ai ia ʻe Sihova ko honau ʻOtua kiate kinautolu, ʻae ngaahi lea ni kotoa pē,

2 u-Azariya indodana kaHoshayiya, loJohanani indodana kaKhareya labo bonke abantu abazigqajayo bathi kuJeremiya, “Uqamba amanga! UThixo uNkulunkulu wethu kakuthumanga ukuba uthi, ‘Akumelanga liye eGibhithe ukuyahlala khona.’

Pea toki lea ʻe ʻAsalia ko e foha ʻo Hosaia, mo Sohanani ko e foha ʻo Kalia, pea mo e kau tangata fielahi kotoa pē, ʻo pehē kia Selemaia, “ʻOku ke lea loi: naʻe ʻikai fekau ko e ʻe Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua ke lea pehē, ‘ʻOua naʻa ʻalu ki ʻIsipite ke ʻāunofo ki ai:’

3 Kodwa uBharukhi indodana kaNeriya uyakutshotshozela ukuba usinikele kumaKhaladiya ukuba asibulale kumbe asise ekuthunjweni eBhabhiloni.”

Ka ko Paluki ko e foha ʻo Nelia kuo ne ueʻi koe ke fai kiate kimautolu, koeʻuhi ke tukuange ʻakimautolu ki he nima ʻoe kau Kalitia, ke nau tāmateʻi ʻakimautolu, pea ʻave ʻakimautolu ko e kau pōpula ki Papilone.”

4 Ngakho uJohanani indodana kaKhareya lazozonke izikhulu zebutho kanye labantu bonke kabalilalelanga ilizwi likaThixo lokuthi bahlale elizweni lakoJuda.

Pea ko Sohanani ko e foha ʻo Kalia, mo e houʻeikitau kotoa pē, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē, naʻe ʻikai te nau talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova, ke nofo ʻi he fonua ko Siuta.

5 Esikhundleni salokho, uJohanani indodana kaKhareya lezikhulu zonke zebutho bathatha bonke ababesele koJuda ababebuyele koJuda ukuyahlala khona bevela ezizweni zonke ababekade behlakazelwe kuzo.

Ka naʻe ʻave ʻe Sohanani ko e foha ʻo Kalia, pea mo e houʻeikitau kotoa pē ʻo Siuta, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē kuo liliu mei he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, naʻe kapusi ʻakinautolu ki ai, ke nofo ʻi he fonua ʻo Siuta;

6 Bathatha lamadoda wonke, labesifazane bonke kanye labantwana bonke, lamadodakazi enkosi lawo uNebhuzaradani umlawuli wabalindi ayewatshiye loGedaliya indodana ka-Ahikhami, indodana kaShafani, loJeremiya umphrofethi kanye loBharukhi indodana kaNeriya.

Ko e tangata, mo e fefine, mo e fānau, pea mo e ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe tuʻi, pea mo e tangata taki taha kuo tuku ʻe Nepusaatani ko e ʻeikitau kia Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami ko e foha ʻo Safani, mo Selemaia ko e palōfita, pea mo Paluki ko e foha ʻo Nelia,

7 Ngakho bangena eGibhithe bedelela uThixo, bahamba baze bayafika eThahiphanesi.

Pea naʻa nau ʻalu ki he fonua ko ʻIsipite: he naʻe ʻikai te nau talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova: pea naʻa nau aʻu ki Tapanesi.

8 Ilizwi likaThixo lafika kuJeremiya eThahiphanesi lisithi,

Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Selemaia ʻi Tapanesi, ʻo pehē.

9 “Thatha amatshe amakhulu uwagqibele enhlabathini endaweni egandelwe ngezitina, amaJuda bekhangele, esangweni lesigodlo sikaFaro eThahiphanesi,

“ʻAve ʻae ngaahi maka lalahi ʻi ho nima pea fakafufū ia ʻi he ʻumea ʻi he taʻoʻanga ʻumea, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he kau hala ʻi he fale ʻo Felo ʻi Tapanesi, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau tangata ʻa Siuta;

10 uthi kubo, ‘UThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi: Ngizabiza inceku yami uNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, njalo ngizabeka isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi phezu kwamatshe la engiwambele lapha; uzakwendlala ithente lakhe lobukhosi phezu kwawo.

Pea ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; Vakai, te u fekau pea ʻomi ʻa Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, pea te u fokotuʻu hono nofoʻanga fakaʻeiʻeiki ki he ngaahi maka ni ʻaia kuo u fakafufū: pea te ne fofola ki ai ʻa hono fale fehikitaki fakaʻeiʻeiki.

11 Uzakuza ahlasele iGibhithe, alethe ukufa kulabo abamiselwe ukufa, lokuthunjwa kulabo abamiselwe ukuthunjwa, lenkemba kulabo abamiselwe inkemba.

Pea ʻoka hau ia te ne taaʻi ʻae fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea ko kinautolu kuo tuʻutuʻuni ki he mate te nau mate; pea ko kinautolu kuo tuʻutuʻuni ki he pōpula ʻe tukuange ki he pōpula; pea ko kinautolu kuo tuʻutuʻuni ki he heletā ki he heletā.

12 Uzawathungela ngomlilo amathempeli abonkulunkulu bamaGibhithe; uzawatshisa amathempeli abo athumbe labonkulunkulu bawo. Njengomelusi ezithandela ngesembatho sakhe, ngokunjalo laye uzazithandela ngeGibhithe asuke khona engalimalanga.

Pea te u tutu ʻae afi ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua ʻo ʻIsipite; pea ʻe vela ai ʻakinautolu, pea te ne ʻave fakapōpula ʻakinautolu: pea te ne fakakofuʻaki ia ʻae fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻo hangē ʻoku ʻai ʻe ha tauhimanu ʻa hono kofu; pea te ne ʻalu mei ai ʻi he fiemālie.

13 Khonale eGibhithe, ethempelini lelanga, uzadiliza izinsika ezikhonzwayo njalo uzatshisa amathempeli abonkulunkulu beGibhithe.’”

Pea te ne maumauʻi foki ʻae ngaahi tamapua ʻo Pete-Semesi ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fonua ʻo ʻIsipite; pea ʻe tutu ʻaki ʻae afi ʻae ngaahi fale ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe kakai ʻIsipite.’”
