UJeremiya 49
1 Mayelana lama-Amoni: Nanku akutshoyo uThixo: “U-Israyeli kalamadodana na? Kalandlalifa na? Pho kungani uMoleki esethumbe iGadi na? Kungani abantu bakhe behlala emadolobheni alo na?
ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova ki he kau ʻAmoni; “ʻIkai ʻoku maʻu ʻe ʻIsileli ʻae ngaahi foha? ʻIkai ʻoku ai hono hoko? Ko e hā ʻoku maʻu ʻe honau tuʻi ʻa Kata, pea nofo ʻa hono kakai ʻi hono ngaahi kolo?
2 Kodwa insuku ziyeza, lapho engizahlaba khona umkhosi wempi wokumelana leRabha yama-Amoni, izakuba yindunduma yonxiwa; lemizi eseduze layo izathungelwa ngomlilo. Ngakho u-Israyeli uzabaxotsha labo ababemxotshele phandle,” kutsho uThixo.
Ko ia, vakai,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻOku hoko mai ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻaia te u fakatupu ai ʻae ongoongo tau ʻi Lapa, ʻi he kau ʻAmoni; pea ʻe hoko ia ko e tuʻunga meʻa liʻaki, pea ʻe fakaʻauha ʻaki ʻae afi ʻa hono ngaahi ʻofefine: pea ʻe toki maʻu ʻe ʻIsileli ʻae nofoʻanga ʻonautolu naʻa nau maʻu hono nofoʻanga,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
3 “Lila weHeshibhoni, ngoba i-Ayi ichithekile! Khalani lina elihlala eRabha! Gqokani amasaka lilile; gijimelani lapha lalaphaya phakathi kwemiduli, ngoba uMoleki uzathunjwa, ndawonye labaphristi bakhe kanye lezikhulu zakhe.
“ʻE Hesiponi, ke ke tangi mamahi, he kuo maumauʻi ʻa ʻAi: pea tangi ʻakimoutolu ko e ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Lapa, mou ʻai ʻae tauangaʻa; pea tangilāulau, pea femaleleaki ki he ngaahi ʻā; koeʻuhi ʻe ʻave fakapōpula ʻa honau tuʻi, mo ʻene kau taulaʻeiki pea mo hono houʻeiki fakataha.
4 Lizincomelani ngezigodi zenu, lizincomelani ngezigodi ezithela kangaka? Wena ndodakazi engathembekanga, uthemba inotho yakho uthi, ‘Ngubani ozangihlasela na?’
Ko e hā ʻoku ke polepole ai ʻi he ngaahi teleʻa, ko ho ngaahi teleʻa mahu, ʻE ʻofefine fakaholomui? ʻAia naʻe falala ki heʻene ngaahi koloa, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko hai te ne haʻu kiate au?’
5 Ngizalilethela ukwesaba okuvela kubo bonke abaseduze lani,” kutsho iNkosi, uThixo uSomandla. “Lonke lizaxotshelwa khatshana, njalo kakho ozaqoqa ababalekayo.
“Vakai,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Te u ʻomi ʻae ilifia kiate koe, meiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku takatakai koe; pea ʻe kapusi atu ʻakimoutolu ʻae tangata taki taha; pea ʻe ʻikai toe ʻomi ʻe ha taha ʻaia kuo hola.
6 Kodwa emva kwalokho ngizabuyisela inhlanhla yama-Amoni,” kutsho uThixo.
Pea hili ia te u toe ʻomi ʻae fakapōpula ʻoe kakai ʻAmoni, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.”
7 Mayelana le-Edomi: Nanku akutshoyo uThixo uSomandla: “Kakuselakuhlakanipha eThemani na? Izeluleko sezaphela na kwabahlakaniphileyo? Ukuhlakanipha kwabo sekwabola na?
Ko e meʻa ʻoku kau ki ʻItomi: ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; “ʻIkai ʻoku kei toe ʻae poto ʻi Timani? Kuo ʻosi ʻae fakakaukau ʻi he kau fakapotopoto? Kuo mole ʻenau poto?
8 Phendukani libaleke, licatshe ezimbalwini ezitshonayo, lina elihlala eDedani, ngoba ngizaletha umonakalo phezu kuka-Esawu ngesikhathi engizamjezisa ngaso.
Mou hola, ʻo foki mai, ʻalu ki lalo pea nofo, ʻae kakai ʻo Titani; koeʻuhi te u ʻomi kiate ia ʻae tuʻutāmaki ʻo ʻIsoa, ko e ʻaho te u ʻaʻahi ai kiate ia.
9 Nxa abavuni bamavini befike kuwe, kabangeke batshiye amalutshwana na? Nxa amasela efika ebusuku kabayikuntshontsha lokho okwanele abakufunayo kuphela na?
Kapau ʻe haʻu kiate koe ʻae kau tānaki kālepi, ʻe ʻikai te nau fakatoe ha kālepi? Kapau ko e kau kaihaʻa ʻi he poʻuli, te nau kaihaʻa ʻo fakatatau mo ʻenau manako.
10 Kodwa u-Esawu ngizamhlubula asale eze; ngizakwembula izindawo zakhe zokucatsha, ukuze angacatshi. Amabutho akhe ahlomileyo azabhubha kanye labomakhelwane bakhe labahlanganyela laye, angabikhona khona ozakuthi,
Ka kuo u fakatelefuaʻi ʻa ʻIsoa, kuo u fakaʻilo hono ngaahi toitoiʻanga, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne faʻa fai ke fakafufū ia: kuo maumauʻi hono hoko, pea mo hono kāinga, pea mo hono kaungāʻapi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ia.
11 ‘Tshiya izintandane zakho; ngizavikela impilo yazo labafelokazi bakho bangathemba kimi.’”
Tuku hoʻo fānau tamai mate, te u fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu, pea tuku ke falala kiate au ho kau fefine kuo mate honau husepāniti.
12 UThixo uthi: “Nxa labo abangafanelanga ukunatha inkezo kumele bayinathe, kungani wena ungeze wajeziswa na? Kawuyikuphutha ukujeziswa, kumele uyinathe.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; Vakai, ko kinautolu naʻe totonu ke ʻoua naʻa nau inu; kuo nau inu moʻoni ki he ipu; pea te ke hao ʻaupito koe ʻi he tautea? ʻE ʻikai te ke hao, ka ko e moʻoni te ke inu ki ai.
13 Ngifunga ngami, ukuthi iBhozira izakuba lunxiwa lento yokwesatshwa, eyokuthukwa lokuqalekiswa, njalo wonke amadolobho ayo azakuba ngamanxiwa nini lanini,” kutsho uThixo.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, kuo u fuakava ʻiate au, ke fakahoko ʻa Posila ko e meʻa fakaofo, mo e ongokovi, mo e liʻaki, pea mo e malaʻia; pea ʻe lala maʻuaipē hono ngaahi kolo.”
14 Sengizwe ilizwi elivela kuThixo: Kuthunywe isithunywa ezizweni ukuba sithi, “Buthanani ukuba liyihlasele! Vukani lilwe impi!”
Kuo u fanongo ki he ongoongo meia Sihova, kuo fekau ʻae kau talafekau ki he ngaahi puleʻanga, ʻo pehē, “Mou fakataha ʻakimoutolu, pea haʻu kiate ia, pea mou tuʻu hake ki he tau.
15 “Khathesi ngizakwenza ube mncane phakathi kwezizwe, udeleleke ebantwini.
Vakai, he te u ngaohi koe ke siʻi ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga; pea ko e fehiʻanekina ʻi he kakai.
16 Ukuthuthumela okungabangwa nguwe, lokuzigqaja kwenhliziyo yakho kukukhohlisile, wena ohlala eminkenkeni yamadwala, wena ohlala ezingqongeni zoqaqa. Lanxa usakhela isidleke sakho phezulu njengengqungqulu, ukhonapho ngizakwehlisela phansi,” kutsho uThixo.
Kuo kākaaʻi koe ʻe hoʻo mālohi, mo e fielahi ʻo ho loto, ʻa koe ʻoku ke nofo ʻi he ngaahi ʻanaʻi maka, pea maʻu ʻae māʻolunga ʻoe moʻunga: kapau te ke ngaohi ho pununga ke māʻolunga ʻo hangē ko e ʻikale, te u fakahifo koe mei ai,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
17 “I-Edomi izakuba yinto yokwesatshwa, bonke abadlula khona bazathuthumela baklolode ngenxa yamanxeba ayo wonke.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻa ʻItomi ko e meʻa liʻaki: pea ʻe fakatumutumu ʻae tangata taki taha ʻoku fononga ofi ki ai! Pea ʻe fakaʻiseʻisa koeʻuhi ko hono ngaahi tautea kotoa pē.
18 Njengokuchitheka kweSodoma leGomora, kanye lamadolobho awo ayeseduze, ngakho kakho ozahlala kuyo, kakho ozabuye ahlale khona” kutsho uThixo.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Hangē ko e fakaʻauha ʻo Sotoma mo Komola, mo e ngaahi kolo ofi ki ai, ʻe ʻikai nofo ai ha tangata, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻāunofo ki ai ʻae foha ʻoe tangata.
19 “Njengesilwane siphuma emahlathini aseJodani sisiya emadlelweni amahle, i-Edomi ngizayixotsha elizweni layo ngesikhatshana. Ngubani okhethiweyo engizamkhethela lokhu na? Ngubani onjengami, ngubani ongamelana lami na? Njalo nguphi umelusi ongajamelana lami na?”
“Vakai, te ne ʻalu hake ʻo hangē ko e laione mei he fonu mahakehake ʻo Soatani ki he nofoʻanga ʻoe mālohi: ko e moʻoni te u pule kiate ia ke ne lele vave mei ai: pea ko hai ʻae tangata kuo fili ke u tuʻutuʻuni ke pule ia? He ko hai ʻoku tatau mo au? Pe ko hai te ne akonakiʻi au? Pe ko hai ʻae tauhi ko ia te ne faʻa tuʻu ʻi hoku ʻao?
20 Ngakho, zwanini lokho uThixo asecebe ukukwenza nge-Edomi, asemise ukukwenza kulabo abahlala eThemani: Amazinyane omhlambi azadonselwa le; amadlelo awo uzawatshabalalisa ngokupheleleyo ngenxa yabo.
Ko ia fanongo ki he fakakaukau ʻa Sihova ʻaia kuo ne folofola ki ʻItomi; pea mo ʻene tuʻutuʻuni kuo ne tuʻutuʻuni ki he kakai ʻo Timani: ko e moʻoni ʻe taki kituʻa ʻakinautolu ʻe he tokosiʻi pe: ko e moʻoni te ne ngaohi honau nofoʻanga ko e meʻa fakaofo ʻiate kinautolu.
21 Ekuzwakaleni komsindo wokuwa kwabo umhlaba uzagedezela, ukukhala kwabo kuzazwakala eLwandle oluBomvu.
ʻOku ngalulu ʻae kelekele ʻi he longoaʻa ʻo ʻenau tō, naʻe ongo atu ʻae longoaʻa ʻo ia ʻi he tangi ʻi he Tahi Kulokula.
22 Khangelani! Ingqungqulu izaqonga iphinde yehlele phansi, yelulele impiko zayo phezu kweBhozira. Ngalolosuku inhliziyo zamabutho ase-Edomi zizakuba njengenhliziyo yowesifazane ohelelwayo.
Vakai, te ne ʻalu hake pea puna ʻo hangē ko e ʻikale, pea mafola hono kapakau ki Posila: pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻe hoko ʻae loto ʻoe tangata mālohi ʻo ʻItomi ʻo hangē ko e loto ʻoe fefine ʻi heʻene langā.”
23 Mayelana leDamaseko: “IHamathi le-Ariphadi athithibele, ngoba azwe izindaba ezimbi. Adanile, akhathazeke njengolwandle olungela kuphumula.
Ko e meʻa ʻoku kau ki Tamasikusi. “Kuo puputuʻu ʻa Hamati pea mo ʻAapati: he kuo nau fanongo ki he ngaahi ongoongo kovi: ʻoku vaivai honau loto; kuo fakavai ʻakinautolu ʻi he mamahi ke hangē ko e tahi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito malaʻia.
24 IDamaseko isibe buthakathaka, isiphendukile ukuba ibaleke, isiphethwe layikuphaphazela; ibanjwe lusizi lobuhlungu, ubuhlungu obunjengowesifazane ohelelwayo.
Kuo vaivai ʻa Tamasikusi, kuo tafoki mai ia ke hola, pea kuo moʻua ia ʻi he manavahē: pea kuo maʻu ia ʻe he feinga mo e mamahi, ʻo hangē ko e fefine ʻoku langā.
25 Kungani idolobho lodumo lingadelwanga, idolobho engithokoza ngalo na?
Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai tuku ai ʻae kolo ongoongolelei, ko e kolo naʻaku fiefia ai?
26 Ngeqiniso izinsizwa zayo zizakuwa emgwaqweni; amabutho ayo wonke azathuliswa ngalolosuku,” kutsho uThixo uSomandla.
Ko ia ʻe tō hono kau talavou ʻi hono ngaahi hala, pea ʻe tuʻusi ʻae kau tangata tau kotoa pē ʻi he ʻaho ko ia,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.
27 “Imiduli yaseDamaseko ngizayithungela ngomlilo; uzaqothula izinqaba zaseBheni-Hadadi.”
“Pea te u tutu ʻae afi ʻi he ʻā ʻo Tamasikusi, pea ʻe ʻauha ai ʻae ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo Penihatati.”
28 Mayelana leKhedari lemibuso yaseHazori, eyahlaselwa nguNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni: UThixo uthi: “Vuka uhlasele iKhedari ubhubhise labantu baseMpumalanga.
Ko e meʻa ʻoku kau ki Keta, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga ʻo Hasoa, ʻaia ʻe teʻia ʻe Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Mou tuʻu, ʻo ʻalu hake ki Keta, pea maumauʻi ʻae kau tangata mei hahake.
29 Amathente abo lemihlambi yabo kuzathunjwa; amakhetheni abo azathathwa layo yonke impahla yabo kanye lamakamela abo. Abantu bazaklabalala besithi kubo, ‘Ukwesaba enhlangothini zonke!’
Te nau ʻave honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki pea mo ʻenau fanga manu: pea te nau ʻave maʻanautolu ʻae ngaahi puipui, mo ʻenau ngaahi ipu kotoa pē, pea mo ʻenau fanga kāmeli; pea te nau tangi kiate kinautolu ʻo pehē, ʻoku ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻae manavahē.
30 Balekani ngokuphangisa! Hlalani ezimbalwini ezitshonayo, lina elihlala eHazori,” kutsho uThixo. “UNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni usecebe icebo ngani, usebumbe icebo ngani.
“ʻAe kakai ʻo Hasoa, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Mou hola ʻo ʻalu mamaʻo, pea nofo māʻulalo; koeʻuhi ko Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, kuo ne fakakaukau ha meʻa kiate kimoutolu, pea tuʻutuʻuni ha meʻa ke fai kiate kimoutolu.
31 Vukani lihlasele isizwe esizinzileyo, esihlezi ngethemba,” kutsho uThixo, “isizwe esingelawo amasango kumbe imigoqo; abantu baso bahlala bodwa.
ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova, ‘Mou tuʻu, pea ʻalu hake ki he kakai ʻoku fakafiemālie, ʻaia ʻoku nofo fakafiemālie, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha ngaahi matapā pe ha ngaahi fakamaʻu, ʻoku nofo taha pe ʻakinautolu.
32 Amakamela aso azakuba yimpango, lemihlambi yabo emikhulu izakuba yimpango. Ngizabahlakazela emoyeni labo abasezindaweni ezikude njalo ngizaletha umonakalo kubo uvelela enhlangothini zonke,” kutsho uThixo.
Pea ʻe vetea ʻa ʻenau fanga kāmeli, pea ʻave mo ʻenau fanga manu lahi: pea te u fakamovetevete ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi potu kotoa pē, ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi muileleu mamaʻo; pea te u ʻomi ʻenau mamahi mei he ngaahi potu kotoa pē, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
33 “IHazori izakuba yisikhundla samakhanka, indawo echithekileyo nini lanini. Kakho ozahlala khona, akulamuntu ozahlala kuyo.”
Pea ʻe hoko ʻa Hasoa ko e nofoʻanga ʻoe fanga talākoni, pea mo e potu liʻaki ʻo taʻengata: ʻe ʻikai nofomaʻu ʻi ai ha tangata, pea ʻe ʻikai nofo ai ha foha ʻoe tangata.”
34 Leli yilizwi likaThixo elafika kuJeremiya umphrofethi mayelana le-Elamu, ekuqaleni kombuso kaZedekhiya inkosi yakoJuda, elathi:
Ko e folofola ʻa Sihova naʻe hoko kia Selemaia ko e palōfita ki ʻIlami ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻoe pule ʻa Setikia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻo pehē,
35 UThixo uSomandla uthi: “Khangela, idandili le-Elamu ngizalephula, insika yamandla abo.
“ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ‘Vakai, te u fesiʻi ʻae kaufana ʻo ʻIlami, ko honau mālohiʻanga.
36 Ngizalethela i-Elamu imimoya emine ezavela emagumbini amane amazulu, ngizabahlakazela emimoyeni emine, njalo akuyikuba lesizwe abathunjwe e-Elamu abangayikuya kuso.
Pea te u ʻomi ki ʻIlami ʻae matangi ʻe fā, mei he ngataʻanga ʻe fā ʻoe langi, pea ʻe fakamovetevete ʻakinautolu ʻi he feituʻu matangi ko ia kotoa pē; pea ʻoku ʻikai ha kakai, ʻe taʻehoko ki ai ʻae kau liʻekina ʻo ʻIlami.
37 I-Elamu ngizayibhidliza phambi kwezitha zayo, phambi kwalabo abafuna ukubabulala. Ngizakwehlisela umonakalo phezu kwabo kanye lolaka lwami oluvuthayo,” kutsho uThixo. “Ngizabaxhuma ngenkemba ngize ngibaqede bonke.
Pea te u fakailifiaʻi ʻa ʻIlami ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono ngaahi fili, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻonautolu ʻoku kumi ki heʻenau moʻui: pea te u ʻomi kiate kinautolu ʻae kovi, ʻio, ko e kakaha ʻo ʻeku tuputāmaki,’ ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; ‘pea te u ʻomi kiate kinautolu ʻae heletā, kaeʻoua ke u fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻakinautolu:
38 Ngizabeka isihlalo sami sobukhosi e-Elamu ngichithe inkosi yayo lezikhulu zayo,” kutsho uThixo.
Pea te u fokotuʻu hoku nofoʻanga fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻi ʻIlami, pea fakaʻauha mei ai ʻae tuʻi pea mo e houʻeiki,’ ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
39 “Kodwa inhlanhla ye-Elamu ngizayibuyisa ensukwini ezizayo,” kutsho uThixo.
‘Ka ʻe hoko ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakamui, ʻa ʻeku toe ʻomi ʻae fakapōpula ʻo ʻIlami,’ ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.”
