UJeremiya 25
1 Ilizwi elafika kuJeremiya mayelana labantu bonke bakoJuda, ngomnyaka wesine kaJehoyakhimi indodana kaJosiya, inkosi yakoJuda (kwakungumnyaka wokuqala kaNebhukadirezari, inkosi yeBhabhiloni),
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya Jeremi na tina na bato nyonso ya Yuda, tango Yeoyakimi, mwana mobali ya Joziasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu minei na bokonzi, mpe Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, akokisaki mobu moko na bokonzi.
2 alikhulumayo uJeremiya umprofethi kubo bonke abantu bakoJuda, lakubo bonke abahlali beJerusalema, esithi:
Mosakoli Jeremi alobaki na bato nyonso ya Yuda mpe na bavandi nyonso ya Yelusalemi:
3 Kusukela emnyakeni wetshumi lantathu kaJosiya, indodana kaAmoni, inkosi yakoJuda, kuze kube lamuhla, sekuyiminyaka engamatshumi amabili lantathu, ilizwi leNkosi lifikile kimi, njalo ngilikhulumile kini, ngivuka ngovivi ngikhuluma; kodwa kalilalelanga.
« Wuta tango Joziasi, mwana mobali ya Amoni, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu zomi na misato na bokonzi kino na mokolo ya lelo, ekokisi mibu tuku mibale na misato oyo nayebisaka bino tango na tango liloba oyo Yawe azalaki koloba na ngai, kasi boyokaki ngai te.
4 Futhi iNkosi ithumile kini zonke izinceku zayo, abaprofethi, ivuka ngovivi ibathuma; kodwa kalilalelanga, kalibekanga indlebe yenu ukuthi lizwe;
Mpe atako Yawe azalaki kotindela bino tango na tango basakoli, basali na Ye, kasi bosalaki kaka keba te mpo na koyoka liloba na Ye.
5 besithi: Phendukani khathesi ngulowo lalowo endleleni yakhe embi, lebubini bezenzo zenu, lihlale elizweni iNkosi elinike lina laboyihlo kusukela nininini kuze kube nininini;
Bazalaki koloba na bino: ‹ Tika ete moko na moko kati na bino abongola motema, atika nzela mpe misala na ye ya mabe; pamba te ezali na nzela wana nde bokoki kowumela na mokili oyo Yawe apesaki bino mpe batata na bino, wuta kala, mpo na libela.
6 njalo lingalandeli abanye onkulunkulu ukubasebenzela lokubakhonza, lingangithukuthelisi ngomsebenzi wezandla zenu; khona ngingayikulenzela okubi.
Bolanda banzambe mosusu te, bosalela mpe bofukamela yango te; bopelisa kanda na Ngai te na nzela ya banzambe ya bikeko oyo maboko na bino esali, mpe Ngai nakomonisa bino pasi te.
7 Kodwa kalingilalelanga, itsho iNkosi, ukuze lingithukuthelise ngomsebenzi wezandla zenu, kuze kube kubi kini.
Kasi boyokaki Ngai te, › elobi Yawe, ‹ botumbolaki Ngai kutu na nzela ya banzambe ya bikeko, oyo maboko na bino esalaki, mpe bomibendelaki bino moko pasi. › »
8 Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Ngenxa yokuthi lingawalalelanga amazwi ami,
Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Lokola boyokaki maloba na Ngai te,
9 khangela, ngizathuma, ngilande zonke izinsapho zenyakatho, itsho iNkosi, lakuNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni inceku yami, ngibalethe bamelane lalelilizwe bamelane labakhileyo balo, bamelane lazo zonke lezizizwe inhlangothi zonke, ngibatshabalalise, ngibenze babe yisesabiso, babe ngokuncifelwayo, babe zincithakalo ezilaphakade.
nakobengisa bato nyonso ya bikolo ya nor mpe mosali na Ngai, Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, » elobi Yawe, « nakosala ete babundisa mokili oyo, bavandi na yango mpe bikolo nyonso ya zingazinga. Nakobebisa bango penza mpe nakokomisa bango eloko ya somo mpe ya kotiola; boye bakotikala seko na seko libebi.
10 Futhi ngizaphelisa ngisuse kubo ilizwi lentokozo lelizwi lenjabulo, ilizwi lomyeni lelizwi likamakoti, umsindo wamatshe okuchola, lokukhanya kwesibane.
Nakolongola kati na bango pole ya mwinda, banzembo ya esengo mpe kosepela, makelele ya bisengo ya libala ya sika mpe ya libanga oyo banikelaka ble.
11 Lelizwe lonke leli lizakuba lunxiwa libe yisesabiso; lalezizizwe zizasebenzela inkosi yeBhabhiloni iminyaka engamatshumi ayisikhombisa.
Mokili oyo mobimba ekobebisama mpe ekotikala lisusu na bato te; mpe bikolo oyo ekosalela mokonzi ya Babiloni mibu tuku sambo.
12 Kuzakuthi-ke iminyaka engamatshumi ayisikhombisa isiphelele ngijezise inkosi yeBhabhiloni lalesosizwe, itsho iNkosi, ngobubi babo, lelizwe lamaKhaladiya, ngilenze libe ngamanxiwa laphakade.
Kasi soki mibu tuku sambo ekoki, nakopesa mokonzi ya Babiloni elongo na ekolo na ye mpe mokili ya bato ya Babiloni etumbu mpo na mabe oyo basalaki, » elobi Yawe, « mpe nakobebisa yango mpo na libela.
13 Ngehlisele phezu kwalelolizwe wonke amazwi ami engawakhuluma ngimelene lalo, konke okubhaliweyo kulolugwalo, uJeremiya akuprofethayo ngazo zonke izizwe.
Nakokokisa kati na mokili yango maloba nyonso oyo nalobaki mpo na kotelemela yango, maloba nyonso oyo ekomama kati na buku oyo, maloba oyo Jeremi asakolaki mpo na kotelemela bikolo nyonso.
14 Ngoba izizwe ezinengi lamakhosi amakhulu zizabasebenzisa bona uqobo; njalo ngizabaphindisela njengokwenza kwabo lanjengokomsebenzi wezandla zabo.
Bango, bato ya Babiloni, bakokoma mpe bawumbu ya bikolo ebele mpe ya bakonzi ya nguya; nakosalela bango kolanda etamboli mpe misala ya maboko na bango. »
15 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli kimi: Thatha inkezo yewayini yalolulaka esandleni sami, wenze zonke izizwe engikuthuma kuzo ziyinathe.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobaki na ngai: « Kamata na loboko na Ngai kopo etonda na vino ya kanda na Ngai mpe melisa yango bikolo nyonso epai wapi nakotinda yo.
16 Njalo zizanatha, zidiyazele, zihlanye, ngenxa yenkemba engizayithuma phakathi kwazo.
Tango bakomela yango, bakolangwa mpe bakokoma kotenga-tenga liboso ya mopanga oyo nakotinda kati na bango. »
17 Ngasengithatha inkezo esandleni seNkosi, nganathisa zonke izizwe iNkosi eyayingithume kizo,
Boye, nakamataki kopo yango na loboko ya Yawe mpe namelisaki yango bikolo nyonso epai wapi atindaki ngai:
18 iJerusalema, lemizi yakoJuda, lamakhosi ayo, leziphathamandla zayo, ukubenza babe yincithakalo, babe yisesabiso, babe yinto yokuncifelwa, babe yisiqalekiso, njengalamuhla;
Yelusalemi elongo na bingumba ya Yuda, bakonzi mpe bakalaka na yango; mpo na kobebisa yango, kokomisa yango eloko ya somo, ya maseki mpe ya lisuma, ndenge ezali komonana sik’oyo.
19 uFaro inkosi yeGibhithe, lezinceku zakhe, leziphathamandla zakhe, labantu bakhe bonke;
Namelisaki yango Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito; basali na ye, bakalaka na ye, bato na ye nyonso,
20 labo bonke abaxubeneyo, lawo wonke amakhosi elizwe leUzi, lawo wonke amakhosi elizwe lamaFilisti, leAshikeloni, leGaza, leEkhironi, lensali yeAshidodi;
bapaya nyonso oyo bavandaka kuna, bakonzi nyonso ya mokili ya Utsi; bakonzi nyonso ya mokili ya Filisitia, ya Ashikeloni, ya Gaza, ya Ekroni mpe ya bato oyo batikalaki na Asidodi;
21 iEdoma, loMowabi, labantwana bakoAmoni;
Edomi, Moabi, bato ya Amoni;
22 lawo wonke amakhosi eTire, lawo wonke amakhosi eSidoni, lamakhosi ezihlenge ezingaphetsheya kolwandle;
bakonzi nyonso ya Tiri mpe ya Sidoni; bakonzi ya bisanga mpe ya bituka oyo ezalaka pene ya ebale monene;
23 iDedani, leTema, leBuzi, labo bonke abaqunywe ezingonsini;
Dedani, Tema, Buzi mpe bato nyonso oyo bavandaka mosika mpe batikaka mandefu te;
24 lamakhosi wonke eArabhiya, lamakhosi wonke abantu abaxubeneyo abahlala enkangala;
bakonzi nyonso ya Arabi mpe bakonzi nyonso ya bikolo ya bapaya oyo bavandaka kati na esobe;
25 lamakhosi wonke eZimri, lamakhosi wonke eElamu, lamakhosi wonke eMede;
bakonzi nyonso ya Zimiri, ya Elami mpe ya Medi;
26 lawo wonke amakhosi enyakatho, aseduze lakhatshana, omunye lomunye, layo yonke imibuso yomhlaba, esebusweni bomhlaba; lenkosi yeSheshaki izanatha emva kwabo.
bakonzi nyonso ya nor, oyo bazalaka pene mpe ba-oyo bazalaka mosika, moko pene na mosusu, bakonzi ya mboka nyonso oyo ezalaka na mokili. Sima na bango nyonso, mokonzi ya Sheshaki mpe akomela yango.
27 Ubususithi kibo: Itsho njalo INkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Nathani lidakwe, lihlanze, liwe, lingasukumi, ngenxa yenkemba engizayithuma phakathi kwenu.
« Boye loba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Bomela, bolangwa mpe bosanza, bokweya mpo na kotelema lisusu te, mpo na mopanga oyo nakotinda kati na bino. ›
28 Kuzakuthi-ke lapho besala ukuthatha inkezo esandleni sakho ukuthi banathe, uthi kibo: Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Lizanatha isibili.
Soki baboyi kozwa mpe komela kopo oyo ezali na loboko na yo, okoloba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: Bomela! Bomela!
29 Ngoba khangela, ngiyaqala ukwenza okubi emzini obizwa ngebizo lami, lina-ke belizakuba ngabangelacala isibili yini? Kaliyikuba ngabangelacala; ngoba ngizabizela inkemba phezu kwabo bonke abakhileyo bomhlaba, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
Pamba te, botala! Ezali na engumba epai wapi babelelaka Kombo na Ngai nde nabandi kotinda pasi; boni, bokanisi ete bino bokozwa etumbu te? Bokozanga te kozwa etumbu, pamba te nazali koyeisa mopanga kati na bavandi nyonso ya mokili, elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga. ›
30 Wena-ke profetha wonke lamazwi umelene labo, uthi kubo: INkosi izabhonga iphezulu, iphumise ilizwi layo isendaweni yayo engcwele; izabhonga kakhulu phezu kwendawo yayo yokuhlala, imemeze iphendule njengabanyathela izithelo zevini, imelene labo bonke abakhileyo bomhlaba.
Sakola maloba oyo nyonso mpo na kotelemela bango mpe loba na bango: ‹ Yawe azali koganga wuta na likolo, azali kotomboka lokola kake wuta na Esika na Ye ya bule, azali konguluma makasi mpo na kotelemela mokili na Ye! Akoganga lokola bato oyo bakamolaka mbuma ya vino, akogangela bavandi nyonso ya mokili oyo!
31 Umsindo uzafika emkhawulweni womhlaba; ngoba iNkosi ilempikisano lezizwe, izakwehlulela yonke inyama; abakhohlakeleyo izabanikela enkembeni, itsho iNkosi.
Makelele ya makasi ekoyokana kino na suka ya mokili; pamba te Yawe akosambisa bikolo, akosambisa bato nyonso, akobomisa bato mabe na mopanga, › » elobi Yawe.
32 Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Khangela, ububi buzaphuma esizweni busiya esizweni, lesivunguzane esikhulu sizavuswa sisuka ezinhlangothini zomhlaba.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Tala! Pasi ezali kopanzana longwa na ekolo moko kino na ekolo mosusu; mopepe makasi etelemi longwa na basuka ya mokili. »
33 Langalolosuku ababuleweyo beNkosi bazasukela komunye umkhawulo womhlaba baze bafike komunye umkhawulo; kabayikulilelwa, kabayikubuthwa, kabayikungcwatshwa; bazakuba ngumquba phezu kobuso bomhlaba.
Na tango wana, bato oyo Yawe akoboma bakozala bisika nyonso, longwa na songe moko kino na songe mosusu ya mokili. Bakosalela bango matanga te, bakosangisa bango te mpo na kokunda bango.
34 Qhinqani isililo, belusi, likhale, lizibhuqe emlotheni, zikhulu zomhlambi; ngoba izinsuku zokuhlatshwa lezokuhlakazeka kwenu zigcwalisekile, njalo lizakuwa njengesitsha esiloyisekayo.
Bino babateli bibwele, bolela mpe boganga! Bino bakambi ya bitonga, bobaluka-baluka na putulu! Pamba te tango na bino ya kokufa ekoki! Bokokweya mpe bokopanzana mike-mike lokola mbeki.
35 Lokubaleka kuzaphela kubelusi, lokuphunyuka kuzikhulu zomhlambi.
Babateli bibwele bakozanga esika ya kokimela; bakambi ya bampate bakozanga esika ya kobombama.
36 Kuzakuba lelizwi lokukhala kwabelusi lokuqhinqa isililo kwezikhulu zomhlambi; ngoba iNkosi izachitha idlelo labo.
Boyoka koganga ya babateli bibwele, kolela ya bakambi ya bampate, pamba te Yawe azali kobebisa bazamba epai wapi bibwele eliaka.
37 Lezibaya ezilokuthula zizachithwa ngenxa yokuvutha kolaka lweNkosi.
Bitando ya kimia ekotikala pamba likolo ya kanda ya Yawe.
38 Itshiyile ubhalu lwayo njengesilwane esitsha, ngoba ilizwe labo seliyincithakalo ngenxa yokuvutha komcindezeli, langenxa yokuvutha kolaka lwayo.
Lokola nkosi etikaka ndako na yango, mokili na bango mpe ekotikala lisusu na bato te likolo ya mopanga ya banyokoli na bango mpe likolo ya kanda ya Yawe.
