and these word [the] scroll: document which to send: depart Jeremiah [the] prophet from Jerusalem to(wards) remainder old: elder [the] captivity and to(wards) [the] priest and to(wards) [the] prophet and to(wards) all [the] people which to reveal: remove Nebuchadnezzar from Jerusalem Babylon [to]

2 (emva kokuphuma kukaJekoniya inkosi, lendlovukazi, labathenwa, iziphathamandla zakoJuda lezeJerusalema, lababazi, labakhandi, besuka eJerusalema),

after to come out: come Jeconiah [the] king and [the] queen and [the] eunuch ruler Judah and Jerusalem and [the] artificer and [the] locksmith from Jerusalem

3 ngesandla sikaElasa indodana kaShafani, loGemariya indodana kaHilikhiya, uZedekhiya inkosi yakoJuda eyabathuma eBhabhiloni kuNebhukadinezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni, isithi:

in/on/with hand Elasah son: child Shaphan and Gemariah son: child Hilkiah which to send: depart Zedekiah king Judah to(wards) Nebuchadnezzar king Babylon Babylon [to] to/for to say

4 Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, kibo bonke abathunjiweyo engabenza bathunjwa besuswa eJerusalema basiwa eBhabhiloni:

thus to say LORD Hosts God Israel to/for all [the] captivity which to reveal: remove from Jerusalem Babylon [to]

5 Yakhani izindlu, lihlale kizo, lihlanyele izivande, lidle izithelo zazo;

to build house: home and to dwell and to plant garden and to eat [obj] fruit their

6 lithathe abafazi, lizale amadodana lamadodakazi, lithathele amadodana enu abafazi, lendise amadodakazi enu emadodeni, ukuze azale amadodana lamadodakazi, lande khona, linganciphi.

to take: take woman: wife and to beget son: child and daughter and to take: take to/for son: child your woman: wife and [obj] daughter your to give: give(marriage) to/for human and to beget son: child and daughter and to multiply there and not to diminish

7 Lidinge ukuthula komuzi lapho engilithumbele khona, liwukhulekele eNkosini; ngoba ekuthuleni kwawo lizakuba lokuthula.

and to seek [obj] peace: well-being [the] city which to reveal: remove [obj] you there [to] and to pray about/through/for her to(wards) LORD for in/on/with peace: well-being her to be to/for you peace: well-being

8 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Akuthi abaprofethi benu labavumisi benu abaphakathi kwenu bangalikhohlisi; lingawalaleli amaphupho enu eliwenza aphutshwe;

for thus to say LORD Hosts God Israel not to deceive to/for you prophet your which in/on/with entrails: among your and to divine your and not to hear: hear to(wards) dream your which you(m. p.) to dream

9 ngoba baprofetha amanga kini ngebizo lami; kangibathumanga, itsho iNkosi.

for in/on/with deception they(masc.) to prophesy to/for you in/on/with name my not to send: depart them utterance LORD

10 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi: Qiniso, lapho iminyaka engamatshumi ayisikhombisa isigcwalisekile eBhabhiloni, ngizalihambela, ngiqinise ilizwi lami elihle kini, ukuthi ngilibuyise kulindawo.

for thus to say LORD for to/for lip to fill to/for Babylon seventy year to reckon: visit [obj] you and to arise: establish upon you [obj] word: promised my [the] pleasant to/for to return: return [obj] you to(wards) [the] place [the] this

11 Ngoba mina ngiyazi imicabango engiyicabanga ngani, itsho iNkosi, imicabango yokuthula, kayisiyo eyokubi, ukuthi ngilinike isiphetho lokulindelweyo.

for I to know [obj] [the] plot which I to devise: devise upon you utterance LORD plot peace: well-being and not to/for distress: evil to/for to give: give to/for you end and hope

12 Khona lizangibiza liyekhuleka kimi, ngilizwe.

and to call: call to [obj] me and to go: come and to pray to(wards) me and to hear: hear to(wards) you

13 Njalo lizangidinga, lingithole, lapho lingidingisisa ngenhliziyo yenu yonke.

and to seek [obj] me and to find for to seek me in/on/with all heart your

14 Njalo ngizatholwa yini, itsho iNkosi, ngibuyise ukuthunjwa kwenu, ngiliqoqe kuzo zonke izizwe lakuzo zonke indawo lapho engilixotshele khona, itsho iNkosi, ngilibuyise endaweni engalithumba livela khona.

and to find to/for you utterance LORD and to return: rescue [obj] (captivity your *Q(k)*) and to gather [obj] you from all [the] nation and from all [the] place which to banish [obj] you there utterance LORD and to return: return [obj] you to(wards) [the] place which to reveal: remove [obj] you from there

15 Ngoba litshilo: INkosi isivusele abaprofethi eBhabhiloni.

for to say to arise: rise to/for us LORD prophet Babylon [to]

16 Ngoba utsho njalo uJehova ngenkosi ehlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavida langabo bonke abantu abahlala kulumuzi, abafowenu abangaphumelanga ekuthunjweni kanye lani:

for thus to say LORD to(wards) [the] king [the] to dwell to(wards) throne David and to(wards) all [the] people [the] to dwell in/on/with city [the] this brother: male-relative your which not to come out: come with you in/on/with captivity

17 Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla: Khangelani, ngizathumela phakathi kwabo inkemba, indlala, lomatshayabhuqe wesifo, ngibenze babe njengemikhiwa eyenyanyekayo, engadlekiyo ngenxa yobubi.

thus to say LORD Hosts look! I to send: depart in/on/with them [obj] [the] sword [obj] [the] famine and [obj] [the] pestilence and to give: make [obj] them like/as fig [the] disgusting which not to eat from evil

18 Ngixotshane labo ngenkemba, ngendlala, langomatshayabhuqe wesifo, ngibanikele ukuba yisesabiso kuyo yonke imibuso yomhlaba, babe yisiqalekiso, lento eyesabekayo, lokuncifelwayo, lehlazo, phakathi kwazo zonke izizwe lapho engibaxotshele khona;

and to pursue after them in/on/with sword in/on/with famine and in/on/with pestilence and to give: make them (to/for horror *Q(K)*) to/for all kingdom [the] land: country/planet to/for oath and to/for horror: appalled and to/for hissing and to/for reproach in/on/with all [the] nation which to banish them there

19 ngenxa yokuthi bengawalalelanga amazwi ami, itsho iNkosi, engawathumela kibo ngenceku zami abaprofethi, ngivuka ngovivi ngibathuma, kodwa kalilalelanga, itsho iNkosi.

underneath: because of which not to hear: hear to(wards) word my utterance LORD which to send: depart to(wards) them [obj] servant/slave my [the] prophet to rise and to send: depart and not to hear: hear utterance LORD

20 Lina-ke zwanini ilizwi leNkosi, lina lonke bathunjiweyo, engabathuma besuka eJerusalema besiya eBhabhiloni:

and you(m. p.) to hear: hear word LORD all [the] captivity which to send: depart from Jerusalem Babylon [to]

21 Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, mayelana loAhabi indodana kaKolaya, lamayelana loZedekhiya indodana kaMahaseya, abaprofetha amanga kini ngebizo lami: Khangelani, ngizabanikela esandleni sikaNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni, ozababulala phambi kwamehlo enu.

thus to say LORD Hosts God Israel to(wards) Ahab son: child Kolaiah and to(wards) Zedekiah son: child Maaseiah [the] to prophesy to/for you in/on/with name my deception look! I to give: give [obj] them in/on/with hand: power Nebuchadnezzar king Babylon and to smite them to/for eye your

22 Njalo kuzathathwa kubo isiqalekiso yibo bonke abathunjiweyo koJuda abaseBhabhiloni kuthiwe: Kungathi iNkosi ikumise njengoZedekhiya lanjengoAhabi, inkosi yeBhabhiloni eyamosa ngomlilo;

and to take: bring from them curse to/for all captivity Judah which in/on/with Babylon to/for to say to set: make you LORD like/as Zedekiah and like/as Ahab which to roast them king Babylon in/on/with fire

23 ngenxa yokuthi benze ubuthutha koIsrayeli, bafeba labafazi babomakhelwane babo, baqamba amazwi angamanga ngebizo lami, engingabalayanga wona; njalo yimi engaziyo, engingumfakazi, itsho iNkosi.

because which to make folly in/on/with Israel and to commit adultery [obj] woman: wife neighbor their and to speak: speak word in/on/with name my deception which not to command them and I ([the] to know *Q(K)*) and witness utterance LORD

24 Uzakhuluma kuShemaya umNehelami usithi:

and to(wards) Shemaiah [the] Nehelam to say to/for to say

25 Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, isithi: Ngenxa yokuthi wena uthumele izincwadi ngebizo lakho kubo bonke abantu abaseJerusalema, lakuZefaniya indodana kaMahaseya umpristi, lakubo bonke abapristi, usithi:

thus to say LORD Hosts God Israel to/for to say because which you(m. s.) to send: depart in/on/with name your scroll: document to(wards) all [the] people which in/on/with Jerusalem and to(wards) Zephaniah son: child Maaseiah [the] priest and to(wards) all [the] priest to/for to say

26 INkosi isikwenze ube ngumpristi esikhundleni sikaJehoyada umpristi, ukuthi libe ngababonisi bendlu yeNkosi phezu kwakhe wonke umuntu ohlanyayo ozitshaya umprofethi, ukuthi limfake esitokisini elezankosi entanyeni.

LORD to give: make you priest underneath: instead Jehoiada [the] priest to/for to be overseer house: temple LORD to/for all man be mad and to prophesy and to give: put [obj] him to(wards) [the] stocks and to(wards) [the] stocks

27 Khathesi-ke, kungani ungamkhuzanga uJeremiya umAnathothi ozitshaya umprofethi kini?

and now to/for what? not to rebuke in/on/with Jeremiah [the] Anathoth [the] to prophesy to/for you

28 Ngoba ngenxa yalokhu usethumele kithi eBhabhiloni esithi: Kuzakuba kude; yakhani izindlu, lihlale kizo, lihlanyele izivande, lidle izithelo zazo.

for as that: since as as to send: depart to(wards) us Babylon to/for to say long he/she/it to build house: home and to dwell and to plant garden and to eat [obj] fruit their

29 UZefaniya umpristi waseyifunda lincwadi endlebeni zikaJeremiya umprofethi.

and to call: read out Zephaniah [the] priest [obj] [the] scroll: document [the] this in/on/with ear: hearing Jeremiah [the] prophet

30 Laselifika ilizwi leNkosi kuJeremiya lisithi:

and to be word LORD to(wards) Jeremiah to/for to say

31 Thumela kubo bonke abathunjiweyo usithi: Itsho njalo iNkosi ngoShemaya umNehelami: Ngenxa yokuthi uShemaya eprofethe kini, mina-ke ngingamthumanga, walenza ukuthi lithembe amanga,

to send: depart upon all [the] captivity to/for to say thus to say LORD to(wards) Shemaiah [the] Nehelam because which to prophesy to/for you Shemaiah and I not to send: depart him and to trust [obj] you upon deception

32 ngakho itsho iNkosi: Khangela, ngizajezisa uShemaya umNehelami kanye lenzalo yakhe; kayikuba lamuntu ozahlala phakathi kwalababantu, angaboni okuhle engizakwenzela abantu bami, itsho iNkosi, ngoba ukhulume ukuhlamuka emelene leNkosi.

to/for so thus to say LORD look! I to reckon: punish upon Shemaiah [the] Nehelam and upon seed: children his not to be to/for him man: anyone to dwell in/on/with midst [the] people [the] this and not to see: see in/on/with good which I to make: do to/for people my utterance LORD for revolt to speak: speak upon LORD
