UJeremiya 2
1 Laselifika kimi ilizwi leNkosi lisithi:
A HIKI mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
2 Hamba uyememezela endlebeni zeJerusalema usithi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Ngiyakukhumbula, umusa wobutsha bakho, uthando lokuganwa kwakho, ukungilandela kwakho enkangala, elizweni elingahlanyelwanga.
O hele, e kala ma na pepeiao o ko Ierusalema, e i aku, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, penei, Ua hoomanao aku au ia oe, i ka lokomaikai o kou wa opiopio, i ke aloha o kou wa i mare hou ia'i, i kou hahai ana mamuli o'u maloko o ka waonahele, ma ka aina i lulu ole ia.
3 UIsrayeli wayeyibungcwele eNkosini, izithelo zokuqala zesivuno sayo; bonke abamudlayo bazakuba lecala, ububi buzabehlela, itsho iNkosi.
Ua laa no ka Iseraela no Iehova, a me na hua mua o kona mea ulu. O na mea a pau i hoopau ia ia, ua hewa no lakou; e hiki mai no ka hewa maluna o lakou, wahi a Iehova.
4 Zwanini ilizwi leNkosi, ndlu kaJakobe, lensendo zonke zendlu kaIsrayeli.
E hoolohe mai oukou i ka olelo a Iehova, e ko ka hale o Iakoba, a me na ohana a pau o ka hale o ka Iseraela.
5 Itsho njalo iNkosi: Yibubi bani oyihlo ababuthola kimi, ukuze baye khatshana lami, balandele okuyize, babe yize?
Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei, Heaha ka hewa i loaa i ko oukou mau makua iloko o'u, i hele loihi aku ai lakou mai o'u aku nei, a ua hele hoi mamuli o ka lapuwale, a ua lilo lakou i mea lapuwale?
6 Njalo kabatshongo ukuthi: Ingaphi iNkosi eyasenyusa elizweni leGibhithe, eyasikhokhela enkangala, elizweni elilamagwadule lelilemigodi, elizweni lokoma, lelethunzi lokufa, elizweni umuntu angalidabulanga, lalapho okungahlalanga muntu khona?
Aole hoi lakou i ninau iho, Auhea o Iehova, ka mea nana i lawe mai ia kakou, mai ka aina o Aigupita mai, a alakai hoi ia kakou maoko o ka waonahele, maloko hoi o ka aina i paapu i na auakua, a me na lua, mawaena hoi o ka aina maloo, a me ke aka o ka make, mawaena o ka aina i hele ole ia e kanaka, a noho ole ia hoi e ke kanaka?
7 Njalo ngaliletha elizweni elivundileyo, ukuze lidle izithelo zalo lokuhle kwalo; kodwa selingenile lalingcolisa ilizwe lami, lenza ilifa lami laba yisinengiso.
A lawe mai au ia oukou maloko o ka aina ai nui i ai oukou i kolaila hua, a me kolaila maikai. Aka, i ko oukou komo ana, hoohaumia oukou i ko'u aina, a hoolilo hoi i ko'u hooilina i mea e hoopailua ai.
8 Abapristi kabatshongo ukuthi: Ingaphi iNkosi? Lalabo abaphatha umlayo kabangazanga; lababusi baphambuka bemelene lami; labaprofethi baprofetha ngoBhali, balandela izinto ezingasiziyo.
Aole i olelo na kahuna, Auhea o Iehova? A o ka poe hoi i lawelawe ma ke kanawai, aole lakou i ike mai ia'u. A hana hewa mai no hoi ia'u ka poe kahu, a ao mai no hoi na kaula ma Baala, a hahai no hoi lakou mamuli o na mea kokua ole.
9 Ngakho ngisezaphikisana lawe, itsho iNkosi, njalo ngizaphikisana labantwana babantwana benu.
Nolaila, e paio aku au ia oukou, wahi a Iehova, a e paio aku no hoi au i na keiki a ka oukou keiki.
10 Ngoba dlulelani ezihlengeni zeKhithimi libone, lithumele eKedari, linakane kuhle, libone ukuthi kukhona into enjengale yini?
E hele ae hoi ma na aina o Kitima, a e nana; a e hoouna aku hoi i Kedara, a e noonoo pono, a ike, ina paha he mea like me ia.
11 Isizwe sake santshintsha yini onkulunkulu baso, abangeyisibo onkulunkulu? Kodwa abantu bami bantshintshile uDumo lwabo ngalokho okungasizi lutho.
Ua hoololi ae nei anei he lahuikanaka i na'kua, i na mea akua ole? Aka, ua hoololi ae nei no ko'u poe kanaka i ko lakou nani i mea kokua ole.
12 Mangalani kakhulu, mazulu, ngalokhu, lethuke, lichitheke kakhulu, itsho iNkosi.
E kahaha mai, e na lani i keia, a e weliweli loa hoi, e lilo oukou i neoneo loa hoi, wahi a Iehova.
13 Ngoba abantu bami benzile izinto ezimbi ezimbili; bangidelile mina mthombo wamanzi aphilayo, ukuthi bazigebhele izikhongozelo, izikhongozelo ezidabukileyo, ezingegcine manzi.
No ka mea, ua hana ko'u poe kanaka i na hewa elua; ua haalele mai lakou ia'u, i ke kumu wai ola, a ua eli lakou i na luawai, i na luawai nahaha, aole e paa ka wai maloko.
14 UIsrayeli uyisigqili yini? Kumbe esizelwe ekhaya yini? Kungani waba yimpango?
He mea hooluhiia anei o Iseraela? he kauwa i hanau ohua ia? No ke aha la ia i lilo ai i ka haoia?
15 Amabhongo ezilwane abhongele phezu kwakhe, akhupha ilizwi lawo, enza ilizwe lakhe laba yincithakalo; imizi yakhe itshisiwe ingelamhlali.
Uwo mai la na liona hou ia ia, a hoonui aku hoi i ko lakou leo, a hooneoneo iho la i kona aina. Ua pau i ka wela kona mau kulanakauhale, aohe mea e noho ana.
16 Futhi abantwana beNofi leThahaphanesi badlele enkanda yakho.
Ua hoopau no hoi na keiki o Nopa, a me Tahapanesa i kou piko poo.
17 Kawuzenzelanga lokhu yini, ngokuthi udele iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, ngesikhathi ikukhokhela endleleni?
Aole anei nau iho i hana i keia maluna ou, i kou haalele ana ia Iehova, i kou Akua, ia ia i alakai aku ai ia oe ma ke ala?
18 Khathesi-ke ulani lendlela yeGibhithe, ukuthi unathe amanzi eSihori? Futhi ulani lendlela yeAsiriya, ukuthi unathe amanzi omfula?
Heaha hoi kau ma ka aoao o Aigupita, e inu ai i na wai o Sihora? Heaha hoi kau ma ka aoao o Asuria, e inu ai i na wai o ka muliwai?
19 Ububi bakho buzakulaya, lokuhlehlela kwakho nyovane kuzakukhuza. Ngakho yazi ubone ukuthi kuyinto embi lebabayo ukuthi uyidelile iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, lokuthi ukungesaba kakukho kuwe, itsho iNkosi uJehova wamabandla.
Na kou hewa iho no e paipai ia oe, a na kou mau lawehala e ao mai ia oe. E ike hoi oe, a e hoomaopopo, he mea ino, a he mea walania hoi kou haalele ana ia Iehova, i kou Akua, a me ka noho ole ana o ka makau ia'u iloko ou, wahi a Iehova, ka Haku o na kaua.
20 Ngoba kwasendulo ngephula ijogwe lakho, ngaqamula izibopho zakho; wasusithi: Kangiyikukhonza; kodwa phezu kwalo lonke uqaqa oluphakemeyo langaphansi kwaso sonke isihlahla esiluhlaza wazulazula njengesifebe.
No ka mea, mai kahiko loa mai, ua uhaki au i kou auamo, a ua moku hoi ia'u kou mau kaula i paa ai; a olelo iho la oe, Aole au e noho i kauwa, oiai, ua kulou oe maluna o na puu kiekie a pau, a malalo hoi o na laau uliuli a pau, a ua moe kolohe hoi oe.
21 Kube kanti mina ngakuhlanyela, ulivini elihle, inhlanyelo ethembekileyo ngokupheleleyo. Pho, usuphenduke njani waba lugatsha olonakeleyo lwevini lemzini kimi?
Aka, ua kanu no wau ia oe i kumu waina maikai, he hua pono wale no. Pehea la hoi oe i hoololiia'i i lala o ke kumu waina e ia'u?
22 Ngoba lanxa ugeza ngesoda, uzithathele isepa enengi, kanti ububi bakho bube lichatha phambi kwami, itsho iNkosi uJehova.
Ina e holoi oe ia oe i ka paakai holoi, a hoonui hoi i ka sopa, ua palahea no kou hewa imua o'u, wahi a Iehova, ka Haku.
23 Ungatsho njani ukuthi: Kangingcolanga, kangilandelanga oBhali? Bona indlela yakho esigodini, wazi ukuthi wenzeni, kamela elisikazi elilejubane elizulazula ezindleleni zalo.
Pehea la e hiki ai ia oe ke olelo, Aole au i haumia, aole au i hahai mamuli o na Baala? E nana i kou ala ma ke awawa, e hoomaopopo hoi i ka mea au i hana'i. He kamelo mama no oe e holoholo ana i kona mau ala iho:
24 Ungubabhemi weganga owejwayele inkangala, ophembela umoya enkanukweni yenhliziyo yakhe. Ngubani ongamvimbela enkanukweni yakhe? Bonke abamdingayo kabayikuzidinisa; ngenyanga yakhe bazamthola.
He hoki hihiu hoi, ua maa ma ka waonahele, e hau ana i ka makani no kona makemake iho. Ia ia e lapa kane ai, owai ka mea hiki ke hoohuli aku ia ia? o ka poe a pau e imi ana ia ia, aole lakou e hoomaloeloe ia lakou iho, no ka mea, a hiki i kona mahina, loaa no ia ia lakou.
25 Nqanda unyawo lwakho ekungabini ngolungelasicathulo, lomphimbo wakho ekomeni; kodwa wena wathi: Kakulathemba; hatshi; ngoba ngathanda abemzini, njalo ngizabalandela.
E malama oe i kou wawae, o kamaa ole, a me kou puu, o maloo. Aka, olelo mai la oe, Make hewa. Oia, ua makemake au i na malihini, a e hahai no au ia lakou.
26 Njengesela lilenhloni lapho selibanjiwe, ngokunjalo indlu kaIsrayeli ilenhloni, bona, amakhosi abo, iziphathamandla zabo, labapristi babo, labaprofethi babo,
E like me ka aihue i hilahila i kona wa e loaa'i, pela no e hilahila ai ko ka hale o ka Iseraela, o lakou, a me ko lakou alii, a me ko lakou poe luna, a me ko lakou poe kahuna, a me ko lakou poe kaula,
27 besithi esigodweni: Wena ungubaba; lelitsheni: Wena wangizala. Ngoba baphendulele umhlana kimi, hatshi-ke ubuso; kodwa ngesikhathi sokuhlupheka kwabo bazakuthi: Sukuma, usisindise!
E olelo ana hoi i ka laau, O oe ko'u makuakane; a i ka pohaku hoi, Nau no wau i hanau: a ua huli lakou i ke kua ia'u, aole i ka maka. Aka, i ka manawa o ko lakou poino, e olelo mai no lakou, E ala, e hoola mai oe ia makou.
28 Kodwa bangaphi onkulunkulu bakho ozenzele bona? Kabasukume uba bengakusindisa ngesikhathi sobubi bakho; ngoba njengenani lemizi yakho bangako onkulunkulu bakho, Juda.
Auhea kou poe akua au i hana'i nou? E ala mai lakou, ina paha e hiki ia lakou ke hoola ia oe i kou popilikia. No ka mea, o ka heluna o kou mau kulanakauhale, oia no ka heluna o kou poe akua, e Iuda.
29 Liphikisanelani lami? Lonke liphambekile kimi, itsho iNkosi.
No ke aha la oukou e paio mai ia'u? Ua hana hewa mai ia'u, oukou a pau, wahi a Iehova.
30 Ngibatshayile abantwana benu ngeze; kabemukelanga ukuqondiswa; inkemba yenu ibadlile abaprofethi benu, njengesilwane esichithayo.
Ua make hewa ko'u paipai ana i ka oukou poe keiki: aole i loaa ia lakou ka naauao. Na ka oukou pahikaua no i hoopau i ko oukou poe kaula, e like me ka liona luku.
31 Wena sizukulwana, lina bonani ilizwi leNkosi. Bengiyinkangala yini kuIsrayeli? Kumbe ilizwe lobumnyama obunzima yini? Batsholoni abantu bami ukuthi: Sizulazulile; kasisayikuza kuwe?
E ka hanauna kanaka, e nana oukou i ka olelo a Iehova. He waouahele anei au ne ka Iseraela? He aina pouli hai? No ke aha la i olelo ai ko'u poe kanaka, E aea lealea aku makou, aole makou hei hou aku iou la?
32 Intombi ingazikhohlwa yini iziceciso zayo, kumbe umakoti amabhanti akhe? Kanti abantu bami bangikhohliwe insuku ezingelanani.
E hiki anei ke kaikamahine ke hoopoina i kona kahike ana, a me ka wahine mare hoi i kona kaei? Aka, ua hoopoina ko'u poe kanaka ia'u i na la pau ole i ka helu.
33 Kungani ulungisa indlela yakho ekudingeni uthando? Ngakho ubafundisile labo ababi izindlela zakho.
No ke aha la oe e hoomaikai nei i kou aoao, e imi i ke aloha? Nolaila, ua ao aku oe i ka poe hewa i kou mau aoao.
34 Lezigqokweni zakho kutholakala igazi lemiphefumulo yabayanga abangelacala; kawubatholanga befohlela phakathi, kodwa phezu kwakho konke lokhu.
Ma na kihi o kou aahu, ua loaa ke koko o na uhane o ka poe ilihune hewa ole; aole i loaa ma ka huli ana, aka, maluna no ia o keia mau mea a pau.
35 Kanti wena uthi: Ngoba kangilacala, isibili intukuthelo yakhe izaphenduka isuke kimi. Khangela, ngizakwehlulelana lawe, ngoba uthi: Kangonanga.
Aka, ke olelo nei oe. Aole o'u hewa, holaila, e huli aku ai kona huhu, mai o'u aku nei. Aia hoi, e paio aku no au ia oe, no ka mea, na olelo oe. Aole au i hewa.
36 Kungani uzulazula kangaka ukuntshintsha indlela yakho? Uzayangiswa yiGibhithe layo, njengoba wayangiswa yiAsiriya.
Heaha kou mea e hele nui aku ai, e hoololi hou i kou aoao? E hilahila no hoi oe ia Aigupita. e like me oe i hilahila ai ia Asuria.
37 Yebo, uzaphuma usuka lapha, lezandla zakho ziphezu kwekhanda lakho, ngoba iNkosi iwalile amathemba akho, njalo kawuyikuphumelela ngawo.
Oia, e hele aku no oe, mai ona aku la, a aia hoi kou mau lima maluna e kou poo: no ka mea. ua hoowahawaha o Iehova i kou mea i hiliuai ai, aole hoi oe e pomaikai ia lakou.
