UJeremiya 8
1 Ngalesosikhathi, itsho iNkosi, bazakhupha amathambo amakhosi akoJuda, lamathambo eziphathamandla zayo, lamathambo abapristi, lamathambo abaprofethi, lamathambo abahlali beJerusalema, emangcwabeni abo;
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia te nau ʻomi mei honau ngaahi faʻitoka, ʻae hui ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta, mo e ngaahi hui ʻoe houʻeiki, mo e hui ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, mo e hui ʻoe kau palōfita, pea mo e ngaahi hui ʻoe kakai ʻo Selūsalema.
2 baweneke elangeni lenyangeni, lakulo lonke ibutho lamazulu, abakuthandayo, labakusebenzelayo, labakulandelayo, labakudingayo, labakukhonzayo; kawayikubuthwa, kawayikungcwatshwa; azakuba ngawomquba phezu kobuso bomhlaba.
Pea te nau fofola ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe laʻā, pea mo e māhina, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoe langi, ʻaia kuo nau ʻofa ki ai, pea kuo nau tauhi, pea kuo nau muimui ki ai, pea kuo nau kumi pea kuo nau lotu ki ai; pea ʻe ʻikai tānaki ʻakinautolu, pe tanu; ka te nau hoko ko e kinohaʻa ʻi he funga ʻoe kelekele.
3 Njalo ukufa kuzakhethwa kulempilo yiyo yonke insali yabaseleyo balolusapho olubi, kuzo zonke indawo zabaseleyo lapho engibaxotshele khona, itsho iNkosi yamabandla.
Pea ʻe fili ʻae mate ʻi he moʻui ʻekinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku toe ʻi he faʻahinga kovi ni, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku toe ʻi he ngaahi potu kuo u kapusi ʻakinautolu ki ai,” ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.
4 Uzakuthi kibo futhi: Itsho njalo INkosi: Bazakuwa bangavuki yini? Uzaphambuka angaphenduki yini?
“Pea te ke lea kiate kinautolu foki, ‘ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; “‘Te nau hinga, pea ʻe ʻikai toetuʻu? Te ne ʻalu atu pea ʻe ʻikai toe foki mai?
5 Pho, baphambukelani lababantu eJerusalema ngokuphambuka okulaphakade? Babambelela enkohlisweni, bayala ukuphenduka.
Ka ko e hā kuo fakaholomui ai ʻae kakai ni ʻo Selūsalema ʻo fakaholomui maʻuaipē? ʻOku nau kuku maʻu ki he kākā, ʻoku ʻikai te nau fie tafoki mai.
6 Ngilalele ngezwa, kabakhulumanga kuhle; kakulamuntu ozisolayo ngobubi bakhe esithi: Ngenzeni? Wonke uphendukela emjahweni wakhe njengebhiza ligijimela empini.
Pea naʻaku fakafanongo pea ongoʻi, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau lea totonu: naʻe ʻikai ha tangata kuo fakatomala ʻi heʻene kovi, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e hā kuo u fai?” Kuo taki taha foki ki heʻene anga ʻaʻana, ʻo hangē ko e ʻoho ʻae hoosi ki he tau.
7 Yebo ingabuzane emazulwini liyazazi izikhathi zalo ezimisiweyo; lejuba lehemu lenkonjane kuyagcina isikhathi sokubuya kwakho; kodwa abantu bami kabazazi izimiso zeNkosi.
ʻIo, ʻoku ʻilo ʻe he motuku ʻi he langi hono ngaahi ʻaho kuo tuʻutuʻuni; pea mo e lupe, mo e kelene, pea mo e sualo honau ʻaho ke haʻu ai; ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ʻe hoku kakai ʻae fakamaau ʻa Sihova.
8 Litsho njani ukuthi: Sihlakaniphile, lomlayo weNkosi ulathi? Khangelani, isibili usiba lwamanga lwababhali lusebenzela ize.
“‘ʻOku fēfē hoʻomou pehē, “ʻOku mau poto, pea ʻoku ʻiate kimautolu ʻae fono ʻa Sihova?” Ko e moʻoni kuo liliu ʻae meʻa ni ko e loi, ʻe he peni kākā ʻae kau tangata tohi.
9 Abahlakaniphileyo bayangekile, besabe kakhulu bathethwe; khangela, balalile ilizwi leNkosi; pho balenhlakanipho bani?
Kuo mā ʻae kau tangata poto, kuo tauhele mo fakailifia ʻakinautolu: Vakai, kuo nau liʻaki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova; pea ko e hā ʻae poto ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu?
10 Ngakho omkabo ngizabanika abanye, amasimu abo kwabazakudla ilifa labo; ngoba kusukela komncinyane kuze kufike komkhulu bonke bayizihwaba zenzuzo embi, kusukela kumprofethi kuze kube kumpristi wonke wenza ngenkohliso.
Ko ia te u foaki honau ngaahi uaifi ki he kakai kehe: he ʻoku manumanu ʻakinautolu taki taha mei he iiki, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki he lalahi, ʻoku taki taha fai kākā mei he palōfita ʻo aʻu ki he taulaʻeiki.
11 Ngoba balipholise kancane inxeba lendodakazi yabantu bami, besithi: Ukuthula, ukuthula; khona kungelakuthula.
He kuo nau fakamoʻui kākā ʻae lavea ʻoe ʻofefine ʻo hoku kakai, ʻonau pehē, “Fiemālie, fiemālie;” ka ʻoku ʻikai ha fiemālie.
12 Baba lenhloni yini lapho sebenze amanyala? Hatshi, kababanga lanhloni lakanye, futhi kabakwazi ukuyangeka; ngakho bazakuwa phakathi kwabawayo; ngesikhathi sokuhanjelwa kwabo bazawiselwa phansi, itsho iNkosi.
He naʻa nau mā ʻi he hili ʻenau fai ʻae meʻa fakalielia? Naʻe ʻikai; naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te nau mā, pe fekulaʻi honau mata: ko ia te nau tō hifo fakataha mo kinautolu ʻoku hinga: ʻe fakatō ki lalo ʻakinautolu, ʻo kau ka tautea ʻakinautolu, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.’”
13 Isibili ngizabaqeda, itsho iNkosi; kakuyikuba khona izithelo zevini evinini; njalo kakuyikuba khona imikhiwa emkhiweni, lehlamvu lizabuna; lengibanike khona kuzakwedlula kibo.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ko e moʻoni te u fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu:” ʻe ʻikai fua ʻae ngaahi vaine, pea ʻe ʻikai fua ʻae ngaahi fiki, ka ʻe mae hono lau; pea ʻe mole ʻiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻaku foaki kiate kinautolu.”
14 Sihlaleleni? Buthanani, singene emizini evikelweyo, sithule khona; ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu isithulisile, yasinathisa amanzi enyongo, ngoba sonile eNkosini.
“Ko e hā ʻoku tau nofo fakafiemālie ai? Ke tau fakataha pea ʻalu ki he ngaahi kolo mālohi, pea ke tau tatali fakalongolongo ʻi ai: he kuo fakalongoʻi ʻakitautolu ʻe Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, pea kuo ne foaki kiate kitautolu ʻae huhuʻa kona ʻoe ʻahu ke inu, koeʻuhi kuo tau fai angahala kia Sihova.
15 Salindela ukuthula, kodwa kakubanga lokuhle; isikhathi sokwelatshwa, kodwa khangela, luhlupho.
Naʻa tau ʻamanaki ki he fiemālie, ka naʻe ʻikai haʻu ha lelei; ki he fakamoʻui, ka e vakai ko e mamahi!
16 Ukuthimula kwamabhiza akhe kwezwakala kusukela koDani; ilizwe lonke lathuthumela emsindweni wokukhonya kwalamandla akhe; ngoba afikile, adla ilizwe lokugcwala kwalo, umuzi labahlala kiwo.
Naʻe ongo mai mei Tani ʻae tangi ʻo ʻene fanga hoosi, naʻe ngalulu ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻi he ʻuʻulu ʻae tangi ʻae fanga hoosi tau; he kuo nau haʻu mo kai ʻo ʻosi ʻae fonua, mo e meʻa fulipē naʻe ʻi ai; ko e kolo, mo kinautolu ʻoku nofo ai.”
17 Ngoba khangelani, ngithumela phakathi kwenu izinyoka, amabululu, angelakulunjwa, njalo azaliluma, itsho iNkosi.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, te u fekau kiate kinautolu ʻae fanga ngata mo e fanga ngata fekai, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai faʻa fakalata, pea te nau ʻuusi ʻakinautolu.”
18 Ukududuzwa kwami kusosizini, inhliziyo yami iphelelwa ngamandla kimi.
ʻO kau ka fakafiemālieʻi au ʻi heʻeku mamahi, ʻoku vaivai hoku loto ʻiate au.
19 Khangelani, ilizwi lokukhala kwendodakazi yabantu bami livela elizweni elikhatshana. INkosi kayikho eZiyoni yini? Inkosi yayo kayikho phakathi kwayo yini? Bangicunuleleni ngezithombe zabo ezibaziweyo, ngokuyize kwabezizwe?
Vakai, ko e leʻo ʻoe tangi ʻae ʻofefine ʻo hoku kakai, koeʻuhi ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he fonua mamaʻo: “ʻIkai ʻoku ʻi Saione ʻe Sihova? ʻIkai ʻoku ʻiate ia hono tuʻi?” “Ko e hā ʻoku nau fakaʻita ai au ʻaki ʻenau ngaahi tamapua kuo tongi, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa vaʻinga?”
20 Isivuno sidlulile, ihlobo liphelile, kanti thina kasisindiswanga.
“Kuo ʻosi ʻae ututaʻu, kuo hili ʻae faʻahitaʻu mafana, pea ʻoku teʻeki ai fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu.”
21 Ngokwephuka kwendodakazi yabantu bami ngephukile; ngimnyama; ukumangala okukhulu kungibambile.
He ko e mamahi ʻo hoku kakai, ʻoku ou mamahi ai; ʻoku ou ʻalu mamahi, kuo pukea au ʻi he fakatumutumu.
22 Kakulabhalisamu yini eGileyadi? Kakho yini umelaphi khona? Ngoba kungani kungaveli ukwelatshwa kwendodakazi yabantu bami?
ʻIkai ʻoku ai ʻae lolo faitoʻo ʻi Kiliati? ʻIkai ʻoku ai ha faitoʻo ʻi ai? Pea ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai moʻui ai ʻae ʻofefine ʻo hoku kakai?
