Ermiyaas 21
1 Yeroo Zedeqiyaa Mootichi Phaashihuur ilma Malkiyaatii fi Sefaaniyaa lubicha ilma Maʼaseyaa gara Ermiyaasitti ergetti dubbiin akkana jedhu Waaqayyo biraa gara Ermiyaas dhufe. Jarri ergamanis akkana jedhan;
Ilizwi lafika kuJeremiya livela kuThixo lapho uZedekhiya inkosi wayethume kuye uPhashuri indodana kaMalikhija lomphristi uZefaniya indodana kaMaseya. Bathi:
2 “Sababii Nebukadnezar mootichi Baabilon nu waraanaa jiruuf Waaqayyoon nuu gaafadhu. Tarii Waaqayyo akkuma duraan godhe sana hojiiwwan dinqii nuuf hojjetee akka mootichi nurraa deebiʼu ni godha taʼaatii.”
“Ake usibuzele kuThixo khathesi nje, ngoba uNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni uyasihlasela. Mhlawumbe uThixo angasenzela izimanga njengasezikhathini ezedlulayo ukuze asuke kithi.”
3 Ermiyaas garuu akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Zedeqiyaadhaan akkana jedhaa;
Kodwa uJeremiya wathi kubo, “Tshelani uZedekhiya lithi:
4 ‘Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Ani miʼoota waraanaa harka keessan jiran, kanneen isin ittiin mootii Baabilonii fi Baabilonota isin marsanii dallaan ala jiran loluuf itti fayyadamtan kana isinitti nan garagalcha. Anis magaalaa kana keessatti isaan walitti nan qaba.
‘UThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Sekuseduze ukuthi ngiziphendulele kuwe izikhali zempi ezisezandleni zakho, ozisebenzisayo ekulweni lenkosi yaseBhabhiloni lamaKhaladiya angaphandle komduli ekuvimbezele. Njalo ngizawaqoqa phakathi kwalelidolobho.
5 Ani mataan koo harka diriirfamee fi irree jabaadhaan, aarii bobaʼuu fi dheekkamsa guddaadhaan waraana isinitti nan bana.
Mina uqobo ngizakulwa lawe ngesandla eseluliweyo langengalo elamandla ngentukuthelo langokufuthelana kanye lolaka olukhulu.
6 Ani waan magaalaa kana keessa jiraatu jechuunis namaa fi horii nan dhaʼa; isaanis dhaʼicha hamaadhaan dhumu.
Ngizabatshaya abahlala kulelidolobho, abantu lezifuyo njalo bazabulawa yisifo esesabekayo.
7 Anis ergasii, jedha Waaqayyo, Zedeqiyaa mooticha Yihuudaa, qondaaltota isaatii fi jiraattota magaalaa kanaa kanneen dhaʼicha jalaa, goraadee fi beela jalaa baʼan Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabilonii fi diinota isaanii kanneen lubbuu isaanii balleessuu barbaadanitti dabarsee nan kenna. Mootichis goraadeedhaan isaan fixa; inni isaaniif hin hilu yookaan hin naʼuuf yookaan garaa hin laafuuf.’
Emva kwalokho, kutsho uThixo, uZedekhiya inkosi yakoJuda, lezikhulu zakhe kanye labantu bakulelidolobho abaphepha emkhuhlaneni, enkembeni lasendlaleni, ngizabanikela kuNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni lasezitheni zabo ezifuna ukubabulala. Uzababulala ngenkemba; kayikuba lomusa kumbe uzwelo loba isihawu.’
8 “Amma illee akkana jedhii saba kanatti himi; Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ‘kunoo, ani karaa jireenyaatii fi karaa duʼaa fuula keessan dura nan kaaʼa.
Phezu kwalokho, abantu batshele uthi, ‘UThixo uthi: Khangelani, ngiyalimisela phambi kwenu indlela yokuphila lendlela yokufa.
9 Namni magaalaa kana keessatti hafu kam iyyuu goraadeedhaan, beelaan yookaan dhaʼichaan duʼa. Namni gad baʼee Baabilonota isin marsanii jiranitti harka kennatu kam iyyuu garuu ni jiraata; lubbuu isaas ni oolfata.
Loba ngubani osala kulelidolobho uzabulawa ngenkemba, yindlala loba ngumkhuhlane. Kodwa loba ngubani ophumayo kulo ayezinikela kumaKhaladiya alivimbezeleyo uzasila, aphunyuke lokuphila kwakhe.
10 Ani magaalaa kanaaf waan gaarii gochuuf utuu hin taʼin ishee miidhuuf kutadheera, jedha Waaqayyo. Isheenis dabarfamtee harka mootii Baabilonitti ni kennamti; inni immoo ibiddaan ishee barbadeessa.’
Sengiqonde ukwenza okubi kulelidolobho hatshi okuhle, kutsho uThixo. Lizanikelwa ezandleni zenkosi yaseBhabhiloni, ezalitshabalalisa ngomlilo.’
11 “Akkasumas mana mootii Yihuudaatiin akkana jedhi; ‘Isin dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa;
Phezu kwalokho, wothi endlini yenkosi yakoJuda, ‘Zwanini ilizwi likaThixo;
12 Yaa mana Daawit, Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “‘Ganama hunda murtii qajeelaa kennaa; nama saamame tokko harka nama isa cunqursuutii baasaa; yoo kanaa achii sababii jalʼina isin hojjettaniitiif dheekkamsi koo buʼee akkuma ibiddaa bobaʼa; namni isa dhaamsu tokko iyyuu hin jiraatu.
lina abendlu kaDavida, uThixo uthi: Yenzani ukulunga insuku zonke ekuseni; mhlengeni esandleni somncindezeli wakhe lowo ophangiweyo, hlezi ulaka lwami luqubuke, lutshise njengomlilo ngenxa yobubi elibenzileyo, lutshise engekho ongalucitsha.
13 Yaa ishee sulula kanaan ol dirree kattaa qabu irra jiraattu, ani sitti kaʼeen jira, jedha Waaqayyo; isin warri, “Eenyuttu nutti dhufuu dandaʼa? Eenyutus daʼannoo keenya seenuu dandaʼa?” jettan,
Ngimelane lawe, Jerusalema, wena ohlala ngaphezu kwalesisigodi, emagcekeni alamadwala, kutsho uThixo, lina elithi, “Ngubani ongazasihlasela na? Ngubani ongangena esiphephelweni sethu na?”
14 ani akkuma hojii keessaniif malutti isinan adaba, jedha Waaqayyo. Ani ibidda waan naannoo keessan jiru hunda barbadeessu bosona keessanitti nan qabsiisa.’”
Ngizalijezisa njengokufanele izono zenu, kutsho uThixo. Ngizaphemba umlilo emahlathini enu ozalobisa konke okuseduze lani.’”
