La ngamazwi encwadi umphrofethi uJeremiya ayithumela eseJerusalema ebadaleni abasindayo phakathi kwabathunjwayo lakubaphristi, abaphrofethi, lakubo bonke abantu uNebhukhadineza abathatha eJerusalema wabasa ekuthunjweni eBhabhiloni.
2 Kunis erga Yehooyaakiin mootichii fi haati isaa mootittiin, xuʼaashiiwwan, dura buutota Yihuudaatii fi Yerusaalem, ogeeyyii hojii mukaatii fi tumtuuwwan Yerusaalemii boojiʼamanii deemanii booddee taʼe.
(Lokhu kwakungemva kokuba inkosi uJekhoniya lendlovukazi engunina, izikhulu zasemthethwandaba kanye labadala bakoJuda labaseJerusalema, izingcitshi lezingcwethi basebeye ekuthunjweni besuka eJerusalema.)
3 Innis xalayaa sana harka Eleʼaasaa ilma Shaafaaniittii fi Gemaariyaa ilma Hilqiyaa warra Zedeqiyaa mootichi Yihuudaa gara Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabilonitti erge sanaatti kenne. Xalayaan sunis akkana jedha:
Incwadi leyo wayiphathisa u-Eleyasa indodana kaShafani loGemariya indodana kaHilikhiya, abathunywa nguZedekhiya inkosi yakoJuda kuNebhukhadineza eBhabhiloni. Yathi:
4 Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel warra boojuudhaan Yerusaalemii gara Baabilonitti geeffaman hundaan akkana jedha:
UThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi kubo bonke labo engabasa ekuthunjweni eBhabhiloni besuka eJerusalema:
5 “Manneen ijaarradhaatii keessa jiraadhaa; biqiltuu dhaabbadhaatii ija isaa nyaadhaa.
“Yakhani izindlu lihlale phansi; limani izivande lidle izithelo zazo.
6 Niitii fuudhaatii ilmaanii fi intallan dhalchaa; akka isaanis ilmaanii fi intallan dhalchaniif ilmaan keessan niitii fuusisaa; intallan keessan illee heerumsiisaa. Isinis achitti baayʼadhaa malee hin xinnaatinaa.
Thathani abafazi lizale amadodana lamadodakazi; dingelani amadodana enu abafazi lendise lamadodakazi enu, ukuze lawo abe lamadodana kanye lamadodakazi; inani lenu lande ngapho; lingehli.
7 Magaalaa ani boojuudhaan itti isin ergeef illee nagaa fi badhaadhummaa hawwaa. Yoo isheen badhaate, isinis waan badhaataniif isheedhaaf Waaqayyoon kadhadhaa.”
Funani ukuthula lokuphumelela kwedolobho engilise ekuthunjweni kulo. Likhulekeleni kuThixo, ngoba nxa liphumelela lani lizaphumelela.”
8 Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedhaatii: “Raajotaa fi ilaaltota isin gidduu jiraataniin hin gowwoomfaminaa. Abjuu akka isaan abjootaniif isaan kakaaftan sana hin dhaggeeffatinaa.
Ye, uThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi, “Lingavumeli ukuthi abaphrofethi labahlahluli abaphakathi kwenu balikhohlise. Lingawalaleli amaphupho elibakhuthaza ukuthi bawaphuphe.
9 Isaan maqaa kootiin soba isiniif raaju. Ani isaan hin ergine” jedha Waaqayyo.
Baphrofetha amanga kini ngebizo lami. Kangibathumanga,” kutsho uThixo.
10 Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Yeroo Waggaan torbaatamni Baabiloniif kenname sun xumuramutti ani gara keessan dhufeen waadaa akka iddoo kanatti isin deebisuuf gale sana nan raawwadha.
UThixo uthi: “Lapho iminyaka engamatshumi ayisikhombisa isiphelile eBhabhiloni, ngizakuza kini ngigcwalise isithembiso sami somusa sokulibuyisela kule indawo.
11 Yaada ani isiniif qabu anatu beekaatii; innis yaada nagaati malee yaada hamaa miti; akkasumas yaada abdiitii fi kan galgala keessaniif toluu dha” jedha Waaqayyo.
Ngoba ngiyawazi amacebo engilawo ngani,” kutsho uThixo, “amacebo okuliphumelelisa hatshi ukulilimaza, amacebo okulinika ithemba kanye lesikhathi esizayo.
12 “Isinis na waammattu; dhuftaniis na kadhattu; anis isin nan dhagaʼa.
Ngalesosikhathi lizangibiza lizekhuleka kimi, njalo ngizalizwa.
13 Isin yoo garaa keessan guutuudhaan na barbaaddan, na argattu.
Lizangidinga lingifumane nxa lingidinga ngenhliziyo yenu yonke.
14 Anis akka isin na argattan nan godha; boojuudhaa deebisees isin nan fida” jedha Waaqayyo. “Ani sabootaa fi lafa ani itti isin ariʼee ture hunda keessaa walitti isin qabee gara biyya ani keessaa baasee isin boojiʼamsiise sanaatti deebisee isinan fida” jedha Waaqayyo.
Lizangifumana,” kutsho uThixo, “njalo ngizalibuyisa livela ekuthunjweni. Ngizaliqoqa ezizweni zonke lasezindaweni zonke engalixotshela kuzo,” kutsho uThixo, “njalo ngilibuyise endaweni engalithatha kuyo ngilisa ekuthunjweni.”
15 Sababii isin, “Waaqayyo Baabilon keessatti raajota nuu kaaseera” jettaniif
Lingatsho lithi, “UThixo usesiphe abaphrofethi eBhabhiloni,”
16 Waaqayyo waaʼee mootii teessoo Daawit irra taaʼuutii fi waaʼee namoota magaalaa kana keessatti hafan hundaa, firoota keessan kanneen isin wajjin boojiʼamanii Baabilonitti hin geeffaminii akkana jedha;
kodwa uThixo uthi mayelana lenkosi ehlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavida labantu bonke abasala kulelidolobho, abantu bakini abangahambanga lani ekuthunjweni,
17 Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Ani goraadee, beelaa fi dhaʼicha isaanitti nan erga; akka isaan akkuma ija harbuu kan tortoree namni nyaachuu hin dandeenyee taʼanis isaan nan godha.
yebo, uThixo uSomandla uthi, “Ngizabathumela inkemba, lendlala lesifo njalo ngizabenza babe njengomkhiwa obolileyo ongeke udliwe.
18 Ani goraadee, beelaa fi dhaʼichaan isaan nan ariʼa; akka isaan saboota ani itti isaan ariʼe hunda gidduutti waan abaarsaatii fi waan sodaachisaa, waan tuffiitii fi waan fafaa taʼaniif ani fuula mootummoota lafaa hundaa duratti jibbisiisoo isaan nan godha.
Ngizaxotshana labo ngenkemba, ngendlala langesifo njalo ngizabenza benyanyeke kuyo yonke imibuso yasemhlabeni njalo babe yinto yokuqalekiswa lokwesatshwa, ukuklolodelwa lokuthukwa, phakathi kwezizwe zonke engibaxotshela kuzo.
19 Isaan dubbii koo, dubbii ani ammumaa amma karaa tajaajiltoota koo raajotaatiin isaanitti erge hin dhaggeeffanneetii” jedhan Waaqayyo. “Isin warri boojiʼamtanis akkasuma hin dhaggeeffanne” jedha Waaqayyo.
Ngoba kabawalalelanga amazwi ami,” kutsho uThixo, “amazwi engawathumela kubo njalonjalo ngezinceku zami abaphrofethi. Lani abasekuthunjweni kalilalelanga,” kutsho uThixo.
20 Kanaafuu isin boojiʼamtoonni ani Yerusaalemii baasee gara Baabilonitti erge hundi dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa.
Ngakho, zwanini ilizwi likaThixo, lonke lina elisekuthunjweni engalisusa eJerusalema ngalisa eBhabhiloni.
21 Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel waaʼee Ahaab ilma Qolaayaatii fi waaʼee Maʼaseyaa ilma Zedeqiyaa warra maqaa kootiin raajii sobaa isinitti dubbatan sanaa akkana jedha: “Ani dabarsee Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabilonitti isaan kenna; innis ijuma keessan duratti isaan fixa.
Mayelana lo-Ahabi indodana kaKholaya loZedekhiya indodana kaMaseya, abaphrofetha amanga kini ngebizo lami, uThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi: “Ngizabanikela kuNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni ozababulala phambi kobuso benu.
22 Sababii isaaniitiifis boojiʼamtoonni Yihuudaa warri biyya Baabilon jiraatan, ‘Waaqayyo akka Zedeqiyaatii fi akka Ahaab warra Nebukadnezar mootichi Baabilon ibiddaan gube sanaa si haa godhu!’ jedhanii wal abaaru.
Ngenxa yabo, bonke abathunjiweyo abavela koJuda abaseBhabhiloni bazasebenzisa isiqalekiso lesi sokuthi: ‘UThixo makenze kini njengalokhu akwenze kuZedekhiya lo-Ahabi, abatshiswa yinkosi yaseBhabhiloni ngomlilo.’
23 Isaan waan akka malee hamaa taʼe Israaʼel keessatti hojjetaniiruutii; isaan niitota ollaa isaanii wajjin ejjaniiru; waan ani akka isaan hojjetan isaanitti hin himin hojjechuudhaan maqaa kootiin soba dubbataniiru; ani waan kana nan beeka; dhugaa illee nan baʼa” jedha Waaqayyo.
Ngoba benze izinto ezimbi kakhulu ko-Israyeli; bafeba labafazi babomakhelwane babo, baqamba amanga ngebizo lami, engingazange ngithi bakwenze. Ngiyakwazi njalo ngingufakazi kukho,” kutsho uThixo.
24 Shemaaʼiyaa namicha Nehelaamiin akkana jedhi:
Tshela uShemaya umNehelami uthi,
25 “Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Ati namoota Yerusaalem keessa jiraatan hundatti, Sefaaniyaa ilma Maʼaseyaa lubichaattii fi luboota biraa hundatti maqaa keetiin xalayaa ergiteerta. Sefaaniyaanis akkana jetteerta;
“UThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi: ‘Wathumela izincwadi ngebizo lakho kubo bonke abantu baseJerusalema, lakuZefaniya indodana kaMaseya umphristi, lakwabanye abaphristi bonke.’ KuZefaniya wathi,
26 ‘Waaqayyo akka ati mana Waaqayyoo keessatti itti gaafatamaa taatuuf iddoo Yehooyaadaa luba godhee si muudeera; ati maraatuu raajii dubbatu kam iyyuu miilla isaa jirma gidduu, morma isaa immoo hudhaa sibiilaa keessa galchitee hidhuu qabda.
‘UThixo usekubeke ukuba ngumphristi esikhundleni sikaJehoyada ukuba ube ngumphathi wendlu kaThixo; umuntu ohlanyayo ozenza umphrofethi ubomfaka esitokisini umfake lezankosi zentanyeni.
27 Yoos ati maaliif Ermiyaas namicha Anaatoot kan gidduu keessanitti raajii dubbatu sana ifachuu dhiifte ree?
Pho kungani ungamkhuzanga uJeremiya wase-Anathothi, ozenza umphrofethi phakathi kwenu?
28 Inni akkana jedhee dhaamsa kana gara keenya, gara Baabilonitti ergeera: Barri boojuu ni dheerata. Kanaafuu manneen ijaarradhaatii keessa jiraadhaa; biqiltuu illee dhaabadhaa ija isaa nyaadhaa.’”
Uthumele ilizwi leli kithi eBhabhiloni elithi: Kuzakuba yisikhathi eside. Ngakho yakhani izindlu lihlale phansi; limani izivande lidle izithelo zazo.’”
29 Sefaaniyaa lubichis xalayaa sana Ermiyaas raajichaaf dubbise.
Kodwa, uZefaniya umphristi incwadi le wayibalela uJeremiya umphrofethi.
30 Kana irratti dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas dhufe:
Ilizwi likaThixo laselifika kuJeremiya lisithi,
31 “Ergaa kana boojiʼamtoota hundatti ergi; ‘Waaqayyo waaʼee Shemaaʼiyaa namicha Nehelaam sanaa akkana jedha: Waan Shemaaʼiyaan yoo ani isa erguu baadhe iyyuu raajii isinii dubbatee akka isin soba amanattan godheef
“Thumela ilizwi leli kubo bonke abathunjiweyo uthi, Mayelana loShemaya umNehelami uThixo uthi: ‘Njengoba uShemaya esephrofitha kini, lanxa mina ngingamthumanga, walenza lakholwa amanga,
32 Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ani dhugumaan Shemaaʼiyaa namicha Nehelaam sanaa fi sanyii isaa nan adaba. Inni saba kana gidduutti hambaa tokko iyyuu hin qabaatu yookaan waan gaarii ani saba kootiif godhu hin argu; inni na mormuun fincila lallabeeraatii’ jedha Waaqayyo.”
ngeqiniso ngizamjezisa uShemaya umNehelami kanye lenzalo yakhe. Kakuyikuba lowakibo ozasala ekhona phakathi kwalababantu, njalo lezinto ezinhle engizazenzela abantu bami kasoze azibone, kutsho uThixo, ngoba uphrofetha ukungihlamukela.’”
