UJeremiya 24
1 INkosi yangenza ngibone, khangela-ke, izitsha ezimbili zemikhiwa zibekwe phambi kwethempeli leNkosi, emva kokuthi uNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni esethumbe uJekoniya indodana kaJehoyakhimi, inkosi yakoJuda, leziphathamandla zakoJuda, lababazi, labakhandi, wabasusa eJerusalema, wabasa eBhabhiloni.
HOIKE mai o Iehova ia'u, aia hoi, elua hinai fiku e kau ana ma ke alo o ka luakini o Iehova, mahope iho o ka lawe pio ana o Nebukaneza, o ke alii o Babulona ia Iekonia i ke keiki a Iehoiakima, ke alii o ka Iuda, a me na kaukaualii o ka Iuda, a me na kamana, a me na amara, mai Ierusalema aku, a lawe ia lakou i Babulona.
2 Esinye isitsha sasilemikhiwa emihle kakhulu njengemikhiwa evuthwe kuqala; kodwa esinye isitsha sasilemikhiwa emibi kakhulu, eyayingeke idliwe ngenxa yobubi bayo.
Hookahi hinai fiku maikai loa, e like me na fiku oo mua; a o kela hinai, he fiku inoino, aole pono ke aiia, no ko lakou inoino loa.
3 INkosi yasisithi kimi: Ubonani, Jeremiya? Ngasengisithi: Imikhiwa, imikhiwa emihle, emihle kakhulu; lemibi, emibi kakhulu, engeke idliwe ngenxa yobubi bayo.
Alaila, olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u. Heaha kau e ike nei, e Ieremia? I aku la au, He mau fiku; o na fiku maikai, ua maikai loa, a o na fiku ino, ua inoino loa, aole pono ke aiia, no ko lakou inoino loa.
4 Lafika kimi futhi ilizwi leNkosi lisithi:
Hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
5 Itsho njalo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Njengalimikhiwa emihle, ngokunjalo ngizananzelela abathunjiweyo bakoJuda, engibaxotshe ngabasusa kulindawo ngabasa elizweni lamaKhaladiya, kube kuhle.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela penei; E like me keia mau fiku maikai, pela no wau e hoomaopopo ai i ka poe i lawepioia o ka Iuda, ka poe a'u i kipaku aku ai, mai keia wahi aku a i ka aina o ko Kaledea, i mea e pono ai.
6 Ngoba ngizabeka ilihlo lami phezu kwabo ngokuhle, ngibabuyisele kulelilizwe; ngibakhe, ngingabadilizi; njalo ngizabahlanyela, ngingabasiphuni.
No ka mea, e kau no ko'u maka maluna o lakou i mea e pono ai, a e lawe hou mai no wau ia lakou i keia aina; a e kukulu no wau ia lakou, aole au e wawahi ia lakou, e kanu no wau ia lakou, aole e uhuki ia lakou.
7 Njalo ngizabanika inhliziyo yokuthi bangazi mina, ukuthi ngiyiNkosi; njalo bazakuba ngabantu bami, mina ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo; ngoba bazabuyela kimi ngenhliziyo yabo yonke.
A e haawi no wau ia lakou i naau e ike mai ai ia'u, owau no o Iehova; a o lakou auanei ko'u poe kanaka, a owau auanei ko lakou Akua; no ka mea, e hoi mai no lakou ia'u me ko lakou naau a pau.
8 Kodwa njengemikhiwa emibi engeke idliwe ngenxa yobubi bayo, isibili itsho njalo iNkosi: Ngokunjalo ngizanika uZedekhiya, inkosi yakoJuda, leziphathamandla zakhe, lensali yeJerusalema, eseleyo kulelilizwe, lalabo abahlala elizweni leGibhithe,
A e like me na fiku inoino, pono ole ke aiia no ka inoino loa; He oiaio, wahi a Iehova, pela no wau e haawi aku ai ia Zedekia, i ke alii o ka Iuda, a me kana poe alii, a me ke koena o Ierusalema, ka poe e koe ana ma keia aina, a me ka poe e noho ana ma ka aina o Aigupita;
9 ngibanikele babe yinto eyesabekayo, babe yibubi, kuyo yonke imibuso yomhlaba, babe lihlazo, lesaga, inhlekisa, lesiqalekiso, kuzo zonke indawo engizabaxotshela khona.
A haawi no wau ia lakou e laweia iloko o na aupuni a pau o ka honua nei, i mea hoopai, a i mea hoowahawaha, a i mea henehene, a i mea kuamuamu, a i mea hoopoino, ma na wahi a pau, a'u e kipaku aku ai ia lakou.
10 Njalo ngizathumela phakathi kwabo inkemba, indlala, lomatshayabhuqe wesifo, baze baqedwe basuke elizweni engalinika bona laboyise.
A e hoouna aku au i ka pahikaua, a me ka wi, a me ka mai ahulau iwaena o lakou, a hoopauia lakou, mai ka aina a'u i haawi aku ai ia lakou, a i ko lakou poe makua.
