UJeremiya 7
1 Ilizwi elafika kuJeremiya livela eNkosini lisithi:
Ko e folofola naʻe haʻu meia Sihova, kia Selemaia, ʻo pehē,
2 Mana esangweni lendlu yeNkosi umemezele khona lelilizwi uthi: Zwanini ilizwi leNkosi, lina bonke bakoJuda, abangena kulamasango ukuzakhonza iNkosi.
“Tuʻu ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, pea fakahā ʻi ai ʻae lea ni, ʻo pehē, ‘Fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻo Siuta ʻoku hū ki he ngaahi matapā ni ke lotu kia Sihova.’”
3 Itsho njalo INkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu wakoIsrayeli: Lungisani indlela zenu lezenzo zenu, khona ngizalenza ukuthi lihlale kulindawo.
ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, “Fakatonutonu hoʻomou ʻulungāanga pea mo hoʻomou ngaahi faianga, pea te u pule ke mou nofo ʻi he potu ni.
4 Lingathembi lina emazwini amanga okuthi: La alithempeli leNkosi, ithempeli leNkosi, ithempeli leNkosi.
ʻOua naʻa mou falala ki he ngaahi lea loi, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e fale ʻo Sihova, Ko e fale ʻo Sihova, Ko e fale ʻo Sihova, ʻakinautolu ni.’
5 Ngoba uba lilungisisa lokulungisa izindlela zenu lezenzo zenu; uba lisenza lokwenza isahlulelo phakathi komuntu lomakhelwane wakhe;
He kapau te mou fai ke lelei moʻoni hoʻomou ʻulungāanga, pea mo hoʻomou ngaahi faianga: kapau te mou fakamaau totonu ki ha tangata mo hono kaungāʻapi;
6 lingacindezeli owezizweni, intandane, lomfelokazi, lingachithi igazi elingelacala kulindawo; futhi lingalandeli abanye onkulunkulu ukuze kube kubi kini;
Kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fakamamahi ki he muli, mo e tamai mate, pea mo e fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti, pea ʻikai lilingi ʻae toto ʻoe taʻehalaia ʻi he potu ni, pea ʻikai muimui ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe ke mou kovi ai:
7 khona ngizalenza ukuthi lihlale kulindawo, elizweni engalinika oyihlo, kusukela endulo kuze kube nininini.
Pea te u toki pule ke mou nofo ʻi he potu ni, ko e fonua naʻaku foaki ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata.
8 Khangelani, lina lithembela emazwini amanga angasizi lutho.
“Vakai, ʻoku mou falala ki he ngaahi lea loi, ʻaia ʻoku taʻeʻaonga.
9 Lizakweba, libulale, lifebe, lifunge amanga, litshisele uBhali impepha, lilandele abanye onkulunkulu elingabaziyo yini?
Te mou kaihaʻa, mo fakapō, mo feʻauaki, mo fuakava loi, mo tutu meʻa namu kakala kia Peali, pea muimui ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻiloʻi;
10 Beselisiza lime phambi kwami kulindlu, ebizwa ngebizo lami, lithi: Sikhululwe ukuze senze zonke lezizinengiso.
Pea toki haʻu ʻo tuʻu ʻi hoku ʻao ʻi he fale ni, ʻaia ʻoku ui ʻi hoku huafa, pea lea pehē, ‘Kuo tukuange ʻakimautolu ke mau fai ki he ngaahi meʻa fakalielia ni?’
11 Indlu le, ebizwa ngebizo lami, isibe lubhalu lwabaphangi emehlweni enu yini? Khangelani, mina sengibonile, itsho iNkosi.
Kuo hoko ʻae fale ni, ʻaia ʻoku ui ʻi hoku huafa, ko e ʻananga ʻoe kau kaihaʻa ʻi homou ʻao?” ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai kuo u mamata ʻeau ki ai.”
12 Ngoba yanini khathesi endaweni yami eseShilo, lapho engamisa khona ibizo lami kuqala, libone engikwenzileyo kiyo ngenxa yobubi babantu bami uIsrayeli.
“Kā mou ʻalu eni ki hoku potu naʻe ʻi Sailo, ʻaia naʻe tomuʻa tuku ki ai hoku huafa, pea mamata ki he meʻa naʻaku fai ki ai koeʻuhi ko e angahala ʻa hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli.
13 Khathesi-ke, ngoba lenzile yonke le imisebenzi, itsho iNkosi, njalo ngikhulumile lani, ngivuka ngovivi ngikhuluma, kodwa kalizwanga, ngalibiza, kodwa kaliphendulanga;
Pea ko eni, koeʻuhi kuo mou fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Naʻaku lea kiate kimoutolu, ʻo tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻo lea, ka naʻe ʻikai te mou fanongo; pea naʻaku ui ʻakimoutolu, ka naʻe ʻikai te mou tali;
14 ngakho ngizakwenza kulindlu, ebizwa ngebizo lami, elithemba kiyo, lakundawo engayinika lina laboyihlo, njengalokho engakwenza eShilo.
Ko ia te u fai ki he fale ni ʻaia ʻoku ui ʻi hoku huafa, ʻaia ʻoku mou falala ki ai, pea ki he potu naʻaku foaki kiate kimoutolu mo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ki Sailo.
15 Njalo ngizalixotsha lisuke ebusweni bami, njengalokho ngaxotsha bonke abafowenu, inzalo yonke kaEfrayimi.
Pea te u kapusi ʻakimoutolu mei hoku ʻao, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku kapusi homou kāinga kotoa pē, ko e hako kotoa pē ʻo ʻIfalemi.
16 Ngakho wena ungabakhulekeli lababantu, ungabaphakamiseli ukukhala loba umkhuleko, ungalabheli kimi, ngoba kangiyikukuzwa.
Ko ia ʻoua naʻa ke lotua ʻae kakai ni, pea ʻoua naʻa ʻohake ha tangi, pe hūfia ʻakinautolu, pea ʻoua naʻa fai ha kole kiate au; koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te u ongoʻi koe.
17 Kawukuboni yini abakwenza emizini yakoJuda lezitaladeni zeJerusalema?
“ʻIkai kuo ke mamata ki he meʻa ʻoku nau fai ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, pea ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo Selūsalema?
18 Abantwana batheza inkuni, laboyise baphembe umlilo, labesifazana baxove inhlama, ukuze benzele indlovukazi yamazulu amaqebelengwana, bathululele abanye onkulunkulu iminikelo yokunathwayo, ukuze bangithukuthelise.
ʻOku okooko ʻae fānau, pea ʻoku tutu ʻae afi ʻe he ngaahi tamai, pea ʻoku natu mā ʻe he kau fefine, koeʻuhi ke ngaohi ʻaki ʻae mā ki he ʻeiki fefine ʻoe langi, pea lilingi ʻae feilaulau ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, koeʻuhi ke fakatupu hoku houhau.”
19 Bathukuthelisa mina yini? itsho iNkosi. Kabazenzeni yini kuze kusanganiseke ubuso babo?
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻIkai kuo nau fakatupu hoku houhau? ʻIkai kuo nau fakatupu ʻae mā ki honau mata ʻonautolu pe?”
20 Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi uJehova: Khangela, intukuthelo yami lolaka lwami kuzathululelwa kulindawo, phezu komuntu, laphezu kwenyamazana, laphezu kwezihlahla zasendle, laphezu kwesithelo somhlabathi; njalo kuzakutsha, kungacitshwa.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe he ʻOtua ko Sihova, “Vakai, te u lilingi hoku houhau mo hoku houhau kakaha ki he potu ni, ki he tangata, pea ki he manu, pea ki he ngaahi ʻakau ʻoe ngoue, pea ki he ngaahi fua ʻoe fonua; pea ʻe vela ia, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito tāmateʻi.”
21 Itsho njalo INkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Fakani iminikelo yenu yokutshiswa kanye lemihlatshelo yenu, lidle inyama.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, “Ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; fakahoko hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulau tutu ki hoʻomou ngaahi feilaulau, pea kai ʻae kakano.
22 Ngoba kangikhulumanga kuboyihlo, njalo kangibalayanga ngosuku engabakhupha ngalo elizweni leGibhithe, mayelana lendaba zeminikelo yokutshiswa kumbe imihlatshelo.
He naʻe ʻikai te u lea ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, pe fekau kiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho naʻaku ʻomi ai ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ke fai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu, pe ha ngaahi feilaulau.
23 Kodwa ngabalaya le into ngisithi: Lalelani ilizwi lami, njalo ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wenu, lina-ke libe ngabantu bami; njalo hambani ngayo yonke indlela engililaya yona, ukuze kulilungele.
Ka ko e meʻa ni naʻaku fekau kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, ‘Mou talangofua ki hoku leʻo, pea teu hoko ko homou ʻOtua, pea te mou hoko ko hoku kakai: pea mou ʻaʻeva ʻi he hala kotoa pē ʻaia kuo u fekau kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke mou lelei ai.’
24 Kodwa kabalalelanga, kabathobanga indlebe yabo; kodwa bahamba ngamacebo, ngenkani yenhliziyo yabo embi, bahlehlela nyovane, hatshi-ke phambili.
Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo, pe fakatokangaʻi honau telinga, ka naʻa nau ʻaʻeva ʻi he fakakaukau pea mo e mahalo ʻa honau loto kovi, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau fakaʻaʻau ki muʻa kae fakaholomui.
25 Kusukela osukwini oyihlo abaphuma ngalo elizweni leGibhithe kuze kube yilolusuku, ngithume kini zonke inceku zami, abaprofethi, insuku ngensuku ngivuka ngovivi, ngithuma.
Talu ʻae ʻaho ko ia naʻe haʻu ai hoʻomou ngaahi tamai mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻio ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, kuo u fekau kiate kimoutolu ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē ko e kau palōfita, ʻo tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻo fekau ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
26 Kanti kabangilalelanga, njalo kababekanga indlebe yabo, kodwa benza intamo yabo yaba lukhuni; benza kubi kulaboyise.
Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo kiate au, pe fakatokangaʻi honau telinga, ka naʻe fakakekeva honau kia: naʻa nau fai kovi lahi ʻi heʻenau ngaahi tamai.
27 Ngakho uzakhuluma wonke lamazwi kibo, kodwa kabayikukulalela; futhi uzababiza, kodwa kabayikukuphendula.
“Ko ia te ke lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni kotoa pē kiate kinautolu; ka ʻe ʻikai te nau tokanga kiate koe: te ke ui foki kiate kinautolu; ka ʻe ʻikai te nau talia koe.
28 Ngakho uzakuthi kibo: Lesi yisizwe esingalaleli ilizwi leNkosi, uNkulunkulu waso, lesingemukeli ukulaywa; iqiniso liphelile, liqunyiwe emlonyeni waso.
Ko ia ke ke lea pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘Ko e kakai ni ʻoku ʻikai talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, pe maʻu ʻae akonaki; kuo mole ʻae moʻoni kuo tuʻusi ia mei honau ngutu.’
29 Gela inwele zakho, wena Jerusalema, uzilahle, uphakamise isililo emadundulwini; ngoba iNkosi isalile yasidela isizukulwana solaka lwayo.
“Kosi ho louʻulu, pea liʻaki ia, pea fai ʻae tangilāulau ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga; he kuo liʻaki mo kapusi atu ʻe Sihova ʻae toʻutangata ʻo hono houhau.”
30 Ngoba abantwana bakoJuda benzile ububi emehlweni ami, itsho iNkosi; babekile izinengiso zabo endlini ebizwa ngebizo lami, ukuze bayingcolise.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Kuo fai kovi ʻi hoku ʻao ʻae fānau ʻa Siuta: kuo nau fokotuʻu ʻenau ngaahi meʻa fakalielia ʻi hoku fale ʻaia ʻoku ui ʻi hoku hingoa, ke fakaʻuli ia.
31 Bakhile-ke indawo eziphakemeyo zeTofethi, ezisesihotsheni sendodana kaHinomu, ukuze batshise amadodana abo lamadodakazi abo ngomlilo; engingabalayanga khona, lokungavelanga enhliziyweni yami.
Pea kuo nau langa ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻo Tofeti, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he teleʻa ʻoe foha ʻo Henomi, ke tutu honau ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻofefine ʻi he afi; ʻaia naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te u fekau pe loto ki ai.”
32 Ngakho khangela, insuku ziyeza, itsho iNkosi, lapho engasayikubizwa ngokuthi yiTofethi, loba isihotsha sendodana kaHinomu, kodwa isihotsha sokubulala; ngoba bazangcwaba eTofethi, kuze kungabi landawo.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, ʻe haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai toe ui ai ia ko Tofeti, pe ko e teleʻa ʻoe foha ʻo Henomi, ka ko e teleʻa ʻoe tāmateʻi. Pea te nau tanu ʻi Tofeti, ke ʻoua ke pito,
33 Lezidumbu zalababantu zizakuba yikudla kwenyoni zamazulu, lezezinyamazana zomhlaba, kungekho ozazethusa.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻae ʻangaʻanga ʻoe kakai ni ko e meʻakai ki he fanga manupuna ʻoe langi, pea mo e ngaahi manu ʻoe kelekele; pe ʻe ʻikai seseʻe ʻakinautolu ʻe ha taha.
34 Khona ngizakwenza kuphele emizini yakoJuda lezitaladeni zeJerusalema ilizwi lenjabulo, lelizwi lentokozo, ilizwi lomyeni, lelizwi likamakoti, ngoba ilizwe lizakuba lunxiwa.
Pea te u toki fakangatangata mei he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, pea mo e ngaahi hala ʻo Selūsalema, ʻae leʻo ʻoe fiefia, mo e leʻo ʻoe nekeneka, ko e leʻo ʻoe tangata taʻane, pea mo e leʻo ʻoe taʻahine; koeʻuhi ʻe hoko ʻo lala ʻae fonua.”
