2 Ndodana yomuntu, yenza ilibho, ukhulume ngomfanekiso kuyo indlu yakoIsrayeli,
Vahe'mofo mofavremoka, fronka kema kasamisua nanekea Israeli vahera zamasmio.
3 uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Ukhozi olukhulu, olukhulu ngempiko, olude ngezimpaphe, olugcwele insiba, olulemibalabala, lweza eLebhanoni, lwathatha isihloko somsedari,
Amanage hunka zamasamio, Mikozama Kegava Hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie hunka zamasamio, mago ra tumpamofona ra agekonarare hunte'negeno, azokamo'a za'za huno ruzahu ruzahu avonkrenakre huno konarari'amo'a agatere'nea tumpamo hareno Lebanoni zafafi vuno sida zafamofo amumpa ome nekafrie.
4 lwaqunta isihloko sezingatshana zawo ezintsha, lwasisa elizweni lokuthengiselana, lwasibeka emzini wabathengisi.
Hagi ana sida zafa amumpama akafriteno'a erino keonke'zama zagore'ma netraza vahe'mokizmi mopafi vuno, ana vahe'mokizmi rankumapi ome kri'ne.
5 Lwaseluthatha okwenhlanyelo yalelolizwe, lwayifaka ensimini yenhlanyelo, lwayibeka ngasemanzini amanengi, lwayibeka njengomyezane.
Hagi ana'ma huteno'a ana tumpamo'a mago'a avimzana Israeli mopafintira erino vuno, knare huno tima'ane mopafi ome hankre'ne. Hagi anama hankre'neana, rama'a ti me'nefi wilo zafa hankreankna huno ome hankre'ne.
6 Yasihluma, yaba livini elinabayo, elifitshane ngesithombo, ongatsha zalo zaphendukela kulo, lempande zalo zaba ngaphansi kwalo. Ngokunjalo laba livini, laveza ingatsha, lakhupha amahlumela.
Ana avimzamo'a hageno waini zafa sampreno, mopafi rafu'nare'ne. Hagi ana azankunamo'za eri arufagagi'za ana tumpama mani'nerega zamavugosa hunente'za, agata hage'za azankunara omere emere hu'naze.
7 Kwasekusiba khona olunye ukhozi olukhulu, olukhulu ngempiko, lwande ngensiba. Khangela-ke, lelivini latshekisela impande zalo ngakulo, lakhuphela ingatsha zalo ngakulo, ukuze lulithelele ngemigelo yendawo yalo ehlanyelweyo.
Hagi ete mago ra tumpamofona anahukna huno ra agekona hunte'negeno, rama'a azoka me'ne. Hagi ana waini zafamofo arafu'naramine azankunatmimo'za ana tumpamo'a ti erino egahie hu'za zamagesa nentahi'za, rukrahe hu'za ana tumpama mani'nea kaziga zamavugosa hunte'naze.
8 Lalihlanyelwe ensimini enhle ngasemanzini amanengi ukuthi liveze ingatsha, lokuthi lithele isithelo, libe livini elihlekazi.
Hianagi ana waini zafama hankre'neana rama'a azankuna reno rama'a ragarami renenteno, knare waini zafa fore hinogu knare mopafi tinkenare hankre'ne.
9 Wothi: Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Lizaphumelela yini? Kaluyikusiphuna yini impande zalo, luqume izithelo zalo, libune? Lizabuna kuwo wonke amahlamvu alo amatsha okumila kwalo, kungengengalo enkulu labantu abanengi, ukulisiphuna ngempande zalo.
Hanki Ra Anumzana miko'zama kegavama hu'nea Anumzamo'a amanage hie hunka zamasamio, ana wainimo'a knare huno hageno marerino raga reontegahianki, Nagra rafuna'a eri vatitrenugeno raga reontenigeno a'ninamo'a hariri hanigeno osaparegahie. Nagra amuhoa osu'na fru hu'na eri vati tregahuankino, mago hankave vahe'mo'a eme vati otresigeno rama'a sondia vahe'mo'zanena eme vati otregahaze.
10 Yebo, khangela, selihlanyelwe lizaphumelela yini? Kaliyikubuna ngokupheleleyo yini nxa umoya wempumalanga ulitshaya? Lizabunela ensimini yokumila kwalo.
Hagi ana wainima ete vatinoma krisiana, knare huno hagegahifi ko? Ifi zage hanati kazigati'ma esia zaho'mo eme eri hagage hugahio? I'o, anama knare'ma huno hageno mareri'nea mopafi mani'neno hagage hugahie.
11 Laselifika ilizwi leNkosi kimi lisithi:
Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasmi'ne,
12 Tshono khathesi kuyo indlu evukelayo: Kalazi yini ukuthi lezizinto ziyini? Uthi: Khangela, inkosi yeBhabhiloni yafika eJerusalema, yathatha inkosi yayo leziphathamandla zayo, yabaletha ngakuyo eBhabhiloni.
Keontahi Israeli vahera amanage hunka zamasmio, Tamagra tumpamofo fronka kemofo agafa'a antahi ani' hu'nazafi? Babiloni kumate kini ne'mo'a Jerusalemi kumate eno, kini ne'ene ugagota kva vahe'araminena zamavareno Babiloni vu'ne hunka zamasamio.
13 Yathatha owenzalo yesikhosini, yenza isivumelwano laye, yamngenisa phansi kwesifungo; yathatha abalamandla belizwe;
Hagi Juda kva vahe'mofo mofavre'ramimpinti mago ne' avreno ana ne'ene huhagerafi huvempage nehuno, agri agoragama mani'neno maka kema haniama antahimisigura huvempage hu'ne. Ana nehuno ana mopafima ugagotama hu'naza kva vahetmina zamavareno Babiloni kumate vu'ne.
14 ukuze umbuso ube phansi, ungaziphakamisi, ukuthi ngokulondoloza isivumelwano sakhe ume.
Hagi e'inama hu'neana Israeli vahe'mo'za hanaveti'za hara huonte'za, agri agorga mani'neza agri kema nevaririza mopazmire'ma manisagu huvempa kea hu'naze.
15 Kodwa wayivukela ngokuthuma izithunywa zakhe eGibhithe, ukuze bamnike amabhiza labantu abanengi. Uzaphumelela yini? Owenza lezizinto uzaphepha yini? Kumbe angasephula isivumelwano aphephe yini?
Hianagi Juda kini ne'mo'a Babiloni kini nera ha' arenenteno, ha'ma eme aza huza hanagu rama'a sondia vahetamine hosi afutaminena Isipi kumateti ome zamavarenka eno huno agri agi'ma erino Isipima unemania eri'za ne'a hunte'ne. Hagi ana antahintahi'amo'a ome knare hugahifi? E'i ana'ma hania zamo'a Babiloni kini ne'mofo azampintira rugraru vazigahifi? Nanekema huvempa huke huhagerafina'a kea ruhantgino atreno fregahifi?
16 Kuphila kwami, itsho iNkosi uJehova, isibili endaweni yenkosi, embeka ukuthi abe yinkosi, osifungo sayo wasidelela, losivumelwano sayo wasephula, uzakufa layo phakathi kweBhabhiloni.
Kasefa hu'na mani'noa Ra Anumzana Nagra hankavenentake Anumzamo'na huankino, tamage huno Juda kini ne'mo'a kinima azeri otigekema kema anakike huhagerafi huvempa kema hu'na'a kini ne'mofo kumapi Babiloni frigahie.
17 Njalo uFaro, lebutho elilamandla lexuku elikhulu, kayikumsiza empini ngokubuthelela idundulu langokwakha inqaba, ukuquma abantu abanengi.
Hagi Babiloni sondia vahe'mo'ma Juda vahe kuma'ma avazagi kagiza mani'neza ha'ma hanaza zama kuma keginamofo megi'ama mopama ante hihi hu'za mani'neza rama'a vahe'ma zamahe fri'zama nehanageno'a, Isipi kini ne' Fero'a hankave sondia vahe'a zamavareno egahianagi, zamaza osugahaze.
18 Ngoba edelele isifungo ngokwephula isivumelwano, lapho, khangela, esenikele isandla sakhe, wazenza zonke lezizinto, kayikuphunyuka.
Hagi Juda kini ne'mo'a kema ananekino huvempama hu'nea kea ruha'nentagino Babiloni kini ne'enema huhagerafi'nea kea ovariri'ne. Na'ankure agra azana ante nagamuteno huvempa huteno, ana kea ovariri'neankino ana knazana agate'oregahie.
19 Ngakho, itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Kuphila kwami, isibili, isifungo sami asideleleyo, lesivumelwano sami asephulileyo, ngizakwehlisela phezu kwekhanda lakhe.
E'ina hu'negu miko'zama kegava hu'noa Ra Anumzamo'na huankino, Nagri nagifima huhagerafi huvempa kema hu'neana ruhanentagino ovariri'neankina, Nagra ana nona'a knazana amigahue.
20 Ngizakwendlala imbule lami phezu kwakhe, ukuthi abanjwe emjibileni wami, ngimlethe eBhabhiloni, ngimahlulele khonangesiphambeko sakhe aphambeke ngaso kimi.
Nagra kukoni'a eri atranenkeno ana kukomo azerinige'na avre'na Babiloni kumate knazana ome amigahue. Na'ankure huvempama hu'nea kea rutagreno, Nagritera mani fatgo hunora omani'ne.
21 Labo bonke ababalekayo bakhe kanye lawo wonke amaviyo akhe bazakuwa ngenkemba, labaseleyo bazahlakazekela kuwo wonke umoya. Lizakwazi-ke ukuthi mina iNkosi ngikhulumile.
Hagi hankave sondia vahe'aramina bainati kazinteti zamahe hana hanige'za, manisaza sondia vahe'mo'za maka kaziga atre'za panani hu'za fresagenka, Ra Anumzamo hu'nea kante amanara hie hunka kenka antahinka hugahane.
22 Itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Lami ngizathatha esihlokweni somsedari omude, ngikumise. Ngizaqunta kuso isihloko sengatshana zawo ezintsha olubuthakathaka, mina ngiluhlanyele phezu kwentaba ende lephakemeyo.
Hagi Mika'zama Kegava Hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Nagra zaza sida zafamofo amumpa'a akafri'na, Israeli mopafima za'za huno mareri agatere'nea agonafi ome krigahue.
23 Entabeni yengqonga yakoIsrayeli ngizaluhlanyela; njalo luzakhupha ingatsha, luthele isithelo, lube ngumsedari omhlekazi; langaphansi kwawo kuzahlala yonke inyoni yophiko lonke; emthunzini wengatsha zawo zizahlala.
Hianagi Israeli mopafima za'za huno mareri agatere'nesia agonafi ome krisugeno, hageno ome rahuno azankunatamina vuno eno huno ragaramina renenteno marerisa zafa fore hanigeno, agigu agigu namaramimo'za e'za ana sida zafa tonapinka nona eme ki'za manigahaze.
24 Ngokunjalo zonke izihlahla zeganga zizakwazi ukuthi mina iNkosi ngithobisile isihlahla eside, ngaphakamisa isihlahla esifitshane, ngomisa isihlahla esiluhlaza, ngenza isihlahla esomileyo sihlume. Mina Nkosi ngikhulumile, ngakwenza.
Hagi zaza zafaramina eri atupa nehu'na, atupa zafaramina eri za'za nehu'na, kasefa zafaramina eri hagage nehu'na, hagage zafaramina eri kasefa hanenkeno kasefa huno hageno marerinke'za, Nagrikura Ra Anumza mani'ne hu'za zafaramimo'za ke'za antahi'za hugahaze. Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na huanki'na ana zana hugahue.
