< UJeremiya 4 >

1 Uba uphenduka, Israyeli, itsho iNkosi, phendukela kimi; njalo uba ususa phambi kwami izinengiso zakho, kawuyikuphambuka.
Vo Israel, nangma hung kilekit ding nahin, nangma kahenga hung kilekit tan, tin Pakaiyin aseiye. Thet umtah doilim hochu napai doh’a chuleh nangma ka-angsunga kon’a nachemang kit tahlou ding ahi.
2 Futhi uzafunga: Kuphila kukaJehova, ngeqiniso, ngokwahlulela, langokulunga; lezizwe zizazibusisa kuyo, lakuyo zizincome.
Chuleh kamin’a “Pakai hingjing” tia nangma nakihah sel’a, nangman thulah, thutandih chuleh chondihna chu nadinpi ding ahi. Chuteng namtin vaipi dinga nangma phatthei channa nahiding, chuleh mitin hung kikhom uva kamin avahchoi ding ahi.
3 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi kumadoda akoJuda leJerusalema: Qhathani ingqatho yenu, lingahlanyeli phakathi kwameva.
Hiche hi, Judah mite leh Jerusalem’a chengte henga Pakai thusei chu ahi. “Lholou gamtah leiset tobang nalungsung’u chu kaljal’unlang, muchi pha chu ling leh khao lah’a themang hih un.
4 Zisokeleni eNkosini, lisuse amajwabu aphambili enhliziyo yenu, madoda akoJuda labahlali beJerusalema; hlezi ulaka lwami luphume njengomlilo, lutshise, kungabi khona ongalucitsha, ngenxa yobubi bezenzo zenu.
Vo Judah leh Jerusalem mite, kiletsah hoitho pailhauvin, Pakai angsung’a kipelut uvin. Nalungsung uva setna dim chep-vun chu tan un paidoh un, nalung khel’un. Achutilouleh nachonset nau jal’a chu kalungsat nachung uva meikong banga hung deojah ding, hichu koima aphelmit ding umlouhel ding ahi,’’ tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
5 Bikani koJuda, lizwakalise eJerusalema, lithi: Vuthelani uphondo elizweni; klabalalani ngokugcweleyo lithi: Buthanani, singene emizini ebiyelweyo.
Judah gamsunga samphongun, chuleh Jerusalem’a phongjal un! Amaho chu seipeh un, gamsung pumpia phongjal’un. “Nakihinso nadiuvin jam un, chuleh kulpi kikaikhum khopi sunga jamlut un.’’
6 Misani uphawu ngaseZiyoni, balekani, lingemi; ngoba ngizaletha ububi buvela enyakatho, lokwephuka okukhulu.
Melchihna ponlap khat, Jerusalem mite din khaidoh’un; Hoidohna din tun jamtauvin, umden den hih un! Ijeh inem itileh keiman sahlam gamkaiya kon’a manthahna nachunguva kahinlhunsah ding ahi, ati.
7 Isilwane sesenyukile siphuma ehlathini laso, lomchithi wezizwe usukile, uphumile endaweni yakhe ukuze ulenze ilizwe lakho incithakalo; imizi yakho izakuba ngamanxiwa, ingabi lomhlali.
Keipi bahkai khat, namtin vaipi sumang chu, akiselna kokhuh’a konin ahung pot’e. Aman akiselna kokhuh ahin dalhan, nang lampi ahin jottai. Aman nagamsung asuhmang ding, nakhopi jousea jong mi chenna lou khogem asoding ahi.
8 Ngenxa yalokhu bhincani amasaka, lilani liqhinqe isililo; ngoba ulaka lweNkosi oluvuthayo kaluphendukanga lusuka kithi.
Hijeh chun khaodip-pon kivon’unlang kap uvin mauvun. Ajeh chu Pakai lungsat, khohsetah chu ichunguva alhunge. tiuvin.
9 Njalo kuzakuthi ngalolosuku, itsho iNkosi, inhliziyo yenkosi izaphela, lenhliziyo yeziphathamandla; labapristi bazamangala kakhulu, labaprofethi bazathithibala.
Pakaiyin aseiye,’’ Hiche nikho chuleh lengpa leh leng chapate kicha-a kihotdiu, thempuho jong tija diu chuleh themgao hojong lungdong dendiu ahi,’’ ati.
10 Ngasengisithi: Hawu, Nkosi Jehova! Isibili ubakhohlisile lokubakhohlisa lababantu leJerusalema usithi: Lizakuba lokuthula; kanti inkemba ifinyelela emphefumulweni.
Hichun keiman, “Vo Hatchungnung Pakai, nangman Jerusalem’a cham-lungmon umding ahi, tia natepsa hilou ham? Ahivangin, nangin amaho najoulheptai, alol’u leh chemjam akisuto gamtai,’’ kati.
11 Ngalesosikhathi kuzakuthiwa kulabobantu lakuyo iJerusalema: Umoya otshisayo wamadundulu enkangala, indlela yendodakazi yabantu bami, ungeyisiwo wokwela njalo ungeyisiwo wokuhlambulula.
Hiche phat chuleh, Pakaiyin amite jah’a aseiding, ‘’Vo kamite, nelgam’a kon’a meisa tobang kho-hui savetvut in nahin nunkhum diu, hiche hui chu huilhi leh buhsi semhoh hui hilou ding ahi.’’
12 Umoya ogcweleyo ovela kuwo uzakuza kimi. Khathesi lami ngizakhuluma izahlulelo zimelene labo.
Hiche khopihui chu keiman huneitah’a kahin nunsah ahi. Chuleh tua namanthah nadiu thutan khum’a phongdoh’a chu keima kahi,’’ ati.
13 Khangela, uzakwenyuka njengamayezi, lenqola zakhe njengesivunguzane; amabhiza akhe alesiqubu kulezinkozi. Maye kithi, ngoba sichithiwe!
Ven, melma chu meilhang lom bangin ahunge. Agalsatna kangtalai ho chimpei kipei abangin, asakolte jong muvanlai sangin ajangkhai jouve. Itobanga khohse hitam, eiho amahthah ihitauve.
14 Jerusalema, hlambulula inhliziyo yakho kuphume inkohlakalo, ukuze usindiswe. Koze kube nini imicabango yakho emibi ihlala phakathi kwakho?
Vo Jerusalem, huhhing'a naumthei nadin nalungthim a thilse ho kisoptheng in. Itihchan geiya, nalung sunga setna hochu nachen sah ding ham?
15 Ngoba ilizwi liyamemeza lisuka koDani, lizwakalisa uhlupho oluvela entabeni yakoEfrayimi.
Dan khopi leh Ephraim thinglhang gam’a hungkon thangkou ten, nang manthahna ding thuse jeng aphonguve.
16 Khumbuzani izizwe, khangelani, lizwakalise limelene leJerusalema; kufika abalindi bevela elizweni elikhatshana, baphakamisa ilizwi labo bemelene lemizi yakoJuda.
Namtin vaipi jouse gih’un chuleh hichehi Jerusalem’a seiphongun. Melmapa chu gamla tah’a konin ahung e. Aman Judah gamsung khopi ho douna kho ahinsam’e.
17 Njengabalindi bensimu bamelene layo inhlangothi zonke, ngoba ingivukele, itsho iNkosi.
Lou ngah hon lou ahon bang’un Jerusalem khopi chu aum kimveltauve. Ajeh chu kamiten kei doumah mah aboltauve, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
18 Indlela yakho lezenzo zakho kukwenzele lezizinto; lokhu kuyinkohlakalo yakho, ngoba kubuhlungu, ngoba kufinyelela enhliziyweni yakho.
Vo Judah, nathilbol leh nachonna chengsen, thilse hichenghi nachung’a ahinlhut ahitai. Hiche gentheina hi akha kine banga nachunga hunglhung ahitan, nalungchang geiya ahin dot ahitai.
19 Imibilini yami, imibilini yami! Ngilobuhlungu emidulini yenhliziyo yami. Inhliziyo yami yenza umsindo phakathi kwami; ngingeke ngithule; ngoba wena mphefumulo wami, uzwile ukukhala kophondo, umkhosi wempi.
Ohe, kalungchang anai, kadip adambehseh e! kalungchang aphudot dot in, thipbeh in kaumtheipoi. Ajeh chu keiman melmapa sumkon gin kajan chuleh agalsatna pumpi pohjah gin kajai.
20 Kuyamenyezelwa incithakalo phezu kwencithakalo, ngoba ilizwe lonke lichithekile. Amathente ami ahle achithwa, amakhetheni ami ngokucwayiza kwelihlo.
Manthahna chunga manthahna, gamsung ahunglhung’e, gamsung pumpi ahomkeuvin akijamtai. Hetmanlouvin kaponbuh chengseu abon'in asusetan, chuleh kachennau jouseu jong asuse gamtai.
21 Koze kube nini ngibona isiboniso, ngizwe ukukhala kophondo?
Itihchan hi gal ponlap kavet vet’uva, chuleh gal husa leh sumkon gin kangai ngai diuham?
22 Ngoba abantu bami bayizithutha, mina kabangazi; bangabantwana abayiziphukuphuku, kabalakuqedisisa; bahlakaniphele ukwenza okubi, kodwa ukwenza okuhle kabakwazi.
Pakaiyin aseiye, “Kamite angol gam’uvin, keima jong eihepouve. chapang ngol bangin aumun, imacha ahekhen theipouve. Thilse bolna lam’a athem’un ahivangin amahon thilpha bolje ahepouve,’’ati.
23 Ngabona umhlaba, khangela-ke, wawungelasimo, ungelalutho; lemazulwini, kodwa kakukho ukukhanya kwawo.
Keiman leiset kaven, hichu ahomkeo leh alimbei ahi. Keiman vanlam kaven, vah aumpon athim e.
24 Ngabona izintaba, khangela-ke, zazinyikinyeka, lamaqaqa wonke ayenyakazela.
Keiman thinglhang leh molsang ho kaven, akihot ling gam’un chuleh aonle le gam tauve.
25 Ngabona, khangela-ke, kwakungelamuntu, lenyoni zonke zamazulu zibalekile.
Kavet pet chun, mihem ho jouse kamutapoi. Chuleh vacha ho jouse jong alengmang gamtauve.
26 Ngabona, khangela-ke, ilizwe elivundileyo laliyinkangala, lemizi yalo yonke yayidiliziwe phambi kweNkosi, phambi kokuvutha kolaka lwayo.
Kavet pet chun, gam leiset phalai jouse gamgo asohtan, chuleh khopi jouse jong chu, Pakai lungsat khohse chun khogemsa asogamtai.
27 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi: Ilizwe lonke lizakuba lunxiwa, kodwa kangiyikuqeda ngokupheleleyo.
Pakaiyin aseiye, “Leiset pumpi ahom keova hung umding, ahivanga leiset apumpia kasuhmanglou ding ahi.
28 Ngenxa yalokhu umhlaba uzalila, lamazulu aphezulu abe mnyama; ngenxa yokuthi ngikhulumile, ngikuhlosile, njalo kangiyikuzisola, njalo kangiyikubuyela emuva ngisuka kukho.
Leiset lunghem ding, vanho jong hung thim ding. Ajeh chu keiman kamite chunga kathupehsa ahitai. Chuleh keiman katohding chu kageltohsa ahitan, nung jong nungkhel kit pong’e,’’ati.
29 Umuzi wonke uzabaleka ngenxa yomsindo wabagadi bamabhiza labatshoki ngamadandili; bazangena ezixukwini, bakhwele emadwaleni; wonke umuzi uzatshiywa, njalo kungabi lamuntu ohlala kuwo.
Sakol kangtalai chunga touho leh thalpi kap them ho husa chun, mipi jouse ajam chehtauve. Amaho hamjing lah’a akisel’un, chuleh molsang lam’a ajamtauve. Khopi jouse ahomkeuvin aumtan, mihem khatcha jong achengtapoi.
30 Wena-ke ozachitheka, uzakwenzani? Loba ugqoka okubomvu, loba uzicecisa ngezigqizo zegolide, loba ucomba amehlo akho ngomphendulo, uzenza ube muhle ngeze, izithandwa zakho zizakudelela, zidinga impilo yakho.
Vo Jerusalem, nangin ipi nabol am, Nangma kisusea dalhahsa nahitai. Ibol’a nangma ponsil hoitah tah’a nakivon’a, sana-a nakijep ham? Ibol’a namitte ni chu mitlouva najeppol ham? Nakijepna chu pannabei ahin, nakivoppi nadongmahon la donlouvin nakoiyun, thadin bou naholtauve.
31 Ngoba ngizwile ilizwi kungathi ngelowesifazana ohelelwayo, ubuhlungu obunjengobeletha umntwana olizibulo, ilizwi lendodakazi yeZiyoni, ikhefuzela, iselula izandla zayo isithi: Maye-ke mina! Ngoba umphefumulo wami uphele amandla ngenxa yababulali.
Keiman numei naosonat masapen thoh’a, aka-pen gin tobang khat kajan. Hiche hi Jerusalem chanu melhoitah, haithei louva aka-gin chu ahi. Ohe ada kahi, tolthat ho’a kon in nei panpin, ati.
