UJeremiya 4
1 Uba uphenduka, Israyeli, itsho iNkosi, phendukela kimi; njalo uba ususa phambi kwami izinengiso zakho, kawuyikuphambuka.
“Yaa Israaʼel, ati yoo deebite, gara kootti deebiʼi” jedha Waaqayyo. “Yoo ati waaqota kee jibbisiisoo sana fuula koo duraa balleessitee siʼachi karaa irraa jalʼachuu baatte,
2 Futhi uzafunga: Kuphila kukaJehova, ngeqiniso, ngokwahlulela, langokulunga; lezizwe zizazibusisa kuyo, lakuyo zizincome.
yoo ati, ‘Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa’ jettee dhugaadhaan, murtii qajeelaa fi qajeelummaadhaan kakatte, saboonni isaan ni eebbifamu; isumaanis ni kabajamu.”
3 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi kumadoda akoJuda leJerusalema: Qhathani ingqatho yenu, lingahlanyeli phakathi kwameva.
Waaqayyo namoota Yihuudaatii fi namoota Yerusaalemiin akkana jedha: “Bajjii keessan qotadhaa; qoraattii keessas hin facaasinaa.
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.
Yaa namoota Yihuudaatii fi uummata Yerusaalem Waaqayyoof dhagna of qabaa; qola qalbii keessaniis dhagna qabadhaa; yoo kanaa achii sababii hammina isin hojjetaniitiif dheekkamsi koo kaʼee akka ibiddaa ni bobaʼa; namni isa dhaamsus hin jiru.
5 Bikani koJuda, lizwakalise eJerusalema, lithi: Vuthelani uphondo elizweni; klabalalani ngokugcweleyo lithi: Buthanani, singene emizini ebiyelweyo.
“Yihuudaa keessatti beeksisaa; Yerusaalem keessattis akkana jedhaa labsaa: ‘Biyyattii guutuu keessatti malakata afuufaa! Sagalee ol fudhadhaatii akkana jedhaa: walitti qabamaa! Kottaa gara magaalaawwan dallaa jabaa qabaniitti baqannaa!’
6 Misani uphawu ngaseZiyoni, balekani, lingemi; ngoba ngizaletha ububi buvela enyakatho, lokwephuka okukhulu.
Xiyoon dhaquuf faajjii ol qabaa? Dafaa baqadhaa malee duubatti hin harkifatinaa! Ani karaa kaabaatiin balaa, badiisa suukaneessaas nan fidaatii.”
7 Isilwane sesenyukile siphuma ehlathini laso, lomchithi wezizwe usukile, uphumile endaweni yakhe ukuze ulenze ilizwe lakho incithakalo; imizi yakho izakuba ngamanxiwa, ingabi lomhlali.
Leenci bosona isaatii baʼeera; barbadeessaan sabootaa karaa qabateera. Inni biyya kee onsuuf jedhee iddoo isaatii kaʼeera. Magaalaawwan kee onanii jiraattota malee ni hafu.
8 Ngenxa yalokhu bhincani amasaka, lilani liqhinqe isililo; ngoba ulaka lweNkosi oluvuthayo kaluphendukanga lusuka kithi.
Kanaafuu isin uffata gaddaa uffadhaatii booʼaa wawwaadhaa; dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo sodaachisaan sun nurraa hin deebineetii.
9 Njalo kuzakuthi ngalolosuku, itsho iNkosi, inhliziyo yenkosi izaphela, lenhliziyo yeziphathamandla; labapristi bazamangala kakhulu, labaprofethi bazathithibala.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Guyyaa sana mootiinii fi qondaaltonni onnee dhabu; luboonni akka malee naʼu; raajonnis ni raafamu.”
10 Ngasengisithi: Hawu, Nkosi Jehova! Isibili ubakhohlisile lokubakhohlisa lababantu leJerusalema usithi: Lizakuba lokuthula; kanti inkemba ifinyelela emphefumulweni.
Anis akkana nan jedhe; “Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ati utuu goraadeen kokkee keenya irra jiruu, ‘Isin nagaa qabaattu’ jechuudhaan saba kanaa fi Yerusaalemin guutumaan guutuutti gowwoomsiteerta?”
11 Ngalesosikhathi kuzakuthiwa kulabobantu lakuyo iJerusalema: Umoya otshisayo wamadundulu enkangala, indlela yendodakazi yabantu bami, ungeyisiwo wokwela njalo ungeyisiwo wokuhlambulula.
Yeroo sanatti saba kanaa fi Yerusaalemitti akkana jedhamee ni himama; “Bubbeen waa gubu tokko iddoowwan ol kaʼoo qullaa kanneen gammoojjii keessaa irraa gara saba kootiitti ni bubbisa; garuu afarsuuf yookaan qulqulleessuuf miti;
12 Umoya ogcweleyo ovela kuwo uzakuza kimi. Khathesi lami ngizakhuluma izahlulelo zimelene labo.
bubbeen waan sanaaf akka malee cimaa taʼe tokko na biraa ni dhufa. Anis murtii koo isaanitti nan labsa.”
13 Khangela, uzakwenyuka njengamayezi, lenqola zakhe njengesivunguzane; amabhiza akhe alesiqubu kulezinkozi. Maye kithi, ngoba sichithiwe!
Kunoo, inni akka duumessaatti, gaariin isaas akka bubbeetti ni dhufa; fardeen isaa risaa caalaa saffisu. Wayyoo nu baduu keenya!
14 Jerusalema, hlambulula inhliziyo yakho kuphume inkohlakalo, ukuze usindiswe. Koze kube nini imicabango yakho emibi ihlala phakathi kwakho?
Yaa Yerusaalem, ati akka fayyituuf qalbii kee keessaa hammina dhiqadhu. Hamma yoomiitti yaadni hamaan si keessa jiraata?
15 Ngoba ilizwi liyamemeza lisuka koDani, lizwakalisa uhlupho oluvela entabeni yakoEfrayimi.
Sagaleen tokko Daan irraa lallaba; tulluuwwan Efreem irraas badiisa labsa.
16 Khumbuzani izizwe, khangelani, lizwakalise limelene leJerusalema; kufika abalindi bevela elizweni elikhatshana, baphakamisa ilizwi labo bemelene lemizi yakoJuda.
“Waan kana sabootatti himaa; Yerusaalemittis akkana jedhaa lallabaa: ‘Loltoonni marsanii biyya qabatan tokko lafa fagoodhaa ni dhufu; isaanis magaalaawwan Yihuudaatti ni iyyu.
17 Njengabalindi bensimu bamelene layo inhlangothi zonke, ngoba ingivukele, itsho iNkosi.
Sababii isheen natti fincilteef, isaan akkuma nama lafa qotiisaa eegu tokkootti ishee ni marsu,’” jedha Waaqayyo.
18 Indlela yakho lezenzo zakho kukwenzele lezizinto; lokhu kuyinkohlakalo yakho, ngoba kubuhlungu, ngoba kufinyelela enhliziyweni yakho.
“Amalli keetii fi hojiin kee waan kana sitti fidaniiru. Adabbiin kee kanaa dha. Innis hammam hadhaaʼa! Onnees hammam waraana!”
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.
Marʼumaan ko, marʼumaan ko! Ani dhukkubbiidhaan nan wixxirfadha. Onneen koo na keessaa waca; onneen koo na keessatti dhaʼata; ani calʼisuu hin dandaʼu. Ani sagalee malakataa dhagaʼeeraatii; waca waraanaas dhagaʼeera.
20 Kuyamenyezelwa incithakalo phezu kwencithakalo, ngoba ilizwe lonke lichithekile. Amathente ami ahle achithwa, amakhetheni ami ngokucwayiza kwelihlo.
Badiisni badiisa irraan dhufa; biyyattiin guutumaan guutuutti ni onti. Dunkaanni koo akkuma tasaa, golgaan koos yeroo gabaabaa keessatti bade.
21 Koze kube nini ngibona isiboniso, ngizwe ukukhala kophondo?
Ani hamma yoomiittin mallattoo waraanaa ilaala? Hamma yoomiittis sagalee malakataa dhagaʼa?
22 Ngoba abantu bami bayizithutha, mina kabangazi; bangabantwana abayiziphukuphuku, kabalakuqedisisa; bahlakaniphele ukwenza okubi, kodwa ukwenza okuhle kabakwazi.
“Uummanni koo gowwaa dha; anas hin beekan. Isaan ijoollee qalbii hin qabnee dha; hubannaas hin qaban. Isaan waan hamaa hojjechuutti ogeeyyii dha; waan gaarii hojjechuu garuu hin beekan.”
23 Ngabona umhlaba, khangela-ke, wawungelasimo, ungelalutho; lemazulwini, kodwa kakukho ukukhanya kwawo.
Ani lafa nan ilaale; isheenis bifa hin qabdu; duwwaas turte; samiiwwanis nan ilaale; ifni isaanii dhaamee ture.
24 Ngabona izintaba, khangela-ke, zazinyikinyeka, lamaqaqa wonke ayenyakazela.
Ani tulluuwwan nan ilaale; isaan sochoʼaa turan; gaarran hundinuus raafamaa turan.
25 Ngabona, khangela-ke, kwakungelamuntu, lenyoni zonke zamazulu zibalekile.
Ani nan ilaale; namni tokko iyyuu hin turre; simbirroonni samii hundis barrisanii badanii turan.
26 Ngabona, khangela-ke, ilizwe elivundileyo laliyinkangala, lemizi yalo yonke yayidiliziwe phambi kweNkosi, phambi kokuvutha kolaka lwayo.
Ani nan ilaale; kunoo biyyi midhaan baaftu ontee turte; magaalaawwan ishee hundis, fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dheekkamsa isaa sodaachisaa sanaan diigaman.
27 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi: Ilizwe lonke lizakuba lunxiwa, kodwa kangiyikuqeda ngokupheleleyo.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Yoo ani guutumaan guutuutti ishee balleessuu baadhe iyyuu biyyattiin guutumaan guutuutti ni barbadoofti.
28 Ngenxa yalokhu umhlaba uzalila, lamazulu aphezulu abe mnyama; ngenxa yokuthi ngikhulumile, ngikuhlosile, njalo kangiyikuzisola, njalo kangiyikubuyela emuva ngisuka kukho.
Kanaafuu lafti ni boossi; samiiwwan oliis ni dukkanaaʼu; ani dubbadheeraatii hin gaabbu; murteesseera; dugda duubas hin deebiʼu.”
29 Umuzi wonke uzabaleka ngenxa yomsindo wabagadi bamabhiza labatshoki ngamadandili; bazangena ezixukwini, bakhwele emadwaleni; wonke umuzi uzatshiywa, njalo kungabi lamuntu ohlala kuwo.
Sababii iyya abbootii fardeeniitii fi futtaaftota xiyyaatiin, tokkoon tokkoon magaalaa ni baqata. Garri tokko bosona gobbuu seena; kaan immoo kattaatti ol baʼa; magaalaawwan hundi duwwaa hafaniiru; namni tokko iyyuu isaan keessa hin jiraatu.
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.
Yaa ontuu nana, ati maal gochaa jirta? Ati maaliif wayyaa bildiimaa uffattee faaya warqee kaaʼatte? Maaliif ija kee kuulatte? Ati akkasumaan of miidhagsita. Warri jaallatan si tuffatu; lubbuu kees balleessuu barbaadu.
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.
Ani iyya akka iyya dubartii ciniinsifattu tokkoo, miixuu akka miixuu dubartii mucaa hangafa deessuu tokko nan dhagaʼe; ani iyya Intala Xiyoon kan yeroo hafuurri ishee citutti argantee harka ishee facaasuudhaan, “Wayyoo! Ani bade; lubbuun koo harka warra nama ajjeesuutti dabarfamtee kennamteerti” jettuu nan dhagaʼe.
