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.

Erga Nebukadnezar mootichi Baabilon Yehooyaakiin mooticha Yihuudaa ilma Yehooyaaqiimii fi qondaaltota Yihuudaa, ogeeyyii hojii harkaatii fi tumtuuwwan Yihuudaa boojiʼee Yerusaalemii gara Baabilonitti geessee booddee Waaqayyo ija harbuu guuboo lama fuula mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo duratti na argisiise.

2 Esinye isitsha sasilemikhiwa emihle kakhulu njengemikhiwa evuthwe kuqala; kodwa esinye isitsha sasilemikhiwa emibi kakhulu, eyayingeke idliwe ngenxa yobubi bayo.

Guuboon tokko ija harbuu akka malee gaarii kan ijaa duraan bilchaate fakkaatu qaba ture; guuboon kaan immoo ija harbuu akka malee tortoree, sababii tortoruu isaatiif nyaatamuu hin dandeenye qaba ture.

3 INkosi yasisithi kimi: Ubonani, Jeremiya? Ngasengisithi: Imikhiwa, imikhiwa emihle, emihle kakhulu; lemibi, emibi kakhulu, engeke idliwe ngenxa yobubi bayo.

Waaqayyos, “Yaa Ermiyaas, ati maal argita?” naan jedhe. Anis, “Ija harbuu nan arga; ija gaariin akka malee gaarii dha; inni tortoraan immoo sababii akka malee tortoreef nyaatamuu hin dandaʼu” jedheen deebise.

4 Lafika kimi futhi ilizwi leNkosi lisithi:

Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:

5 Itsho njalo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Njengalimikhiwa emihle, ngokunjalo ngizananzelela abathunjiweyo bakoJuda, engibaxotshe ngabasusa kulindawo ngabasa elizweni lamaKhaladiya, kube kuhle.

“Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha; ‘Ani boojiʼamtoota Yihuudaa warra ani iddoo kanaa baasee biyya Baabilonotaatti erge sana akkuma ija gaarii kanaatti ija gaariin nan ilaala.

6 Ngoba ngizabeka ilihlo lami phezu kwabo ngokuhle, ngibabuyisele kulelilizwe; ngibakhe, ngingabadilizi; njalo ngizabahlanyela, ngingabasiphuni.

Ani faayidaa isaaniitiif ija koo isaan irra buufadhee biyya kanatti deebisee isaan nan fida; ani isaanan ijaara malee isaan hin diigu; ani isaanan dhaaba malee isaan hin buqqisu.

7 Njalo ngizabanika inhliziyo yokuthi bangazi mina, ukuthi ngiyiNkosi; njalo bazakuba ngabantu bami, mina ngibe nguNkulunkulu wabo; ngoba bazabuyela kimi ngenhliziyo yabo yonke.

Ani akka isaan akka ani Waaqayyo isaanii taʼe beekaniif qalbii nan kennaaf. Isaan saba koo taʼu; anis Waaqa isaanii nan taʼa; isaan garaa guutuudhaan gara kootti ni deebiʼuutii.

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,

“‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha; ani garuu Zedeqiyaa mooticha Yihuudaa, qondaaltota isaatii fi hambaawwan Yerusaalem kanneen biyya kana keessatti hafanii fi warra Gibxi keessa jiraatan akkuma ija harbuu kan waan akka malee tortoreef namni nyaachuu hin dandeenye sanaatti nan dhiisa.

9 ngibanikele babe yinto eyesabekayo, babe yibubi, kuyo yonke imibuso yomhlaba, babe lihlazo, lesaga, inhlekisa, lesiqalekiso, kuzo zonke indawo engizabaxotshela khona.

Ani fuula mootummoota lafaa hundaa duratti balfamoo fi jibbamoo isaan nan godha; iddoo ani itti isaan bittinneessu hundattis tuffatamoo, waan kolfaa, waan qoosaatii fi waan abaarsaa isaan nan godha.

10 Njalo ngizathumela phakathi kwabo inkemba, indlala, lomatshayabhuqe wesifo, baze baqedwe basuke elizweni engalinika bona laboyise.

Ani hamma isaan biyya ani isaanii fi abbootii isaaniitiif kenne irraa barbadaaʼanitti goraadee, beelaa fi dhaʼicha isaanitti nan erga.’”
