Ermiyaas 3
1 “Namni tokko yoo niitii isaa hiikee isheenis isa dhiiftee nama biraatti heerumte, inni lammata isheetti deebiʼaa? Biyyattiinis guutumaan guutuutti hin xurooftuu? Ati garuu akka sagaagaltuutti sanyoowwan hedduu wajjin jiraatteerta; taʼus amma gara kootti deebiʼi?” jedha Waaqayyo.
Kuthiwa: Uba indoda ilahla umkayo, asuke kuyo, abe ngowenye indoda, izabuyela kuye futhi yini? Lelolizwe belingayikungcoliswa kakhulu yini? Kanti wena ufebile lezithandwa ezinengi; kodwa buyela kimi, itsho iNkosi.
2 “Mee ol milʼadhuutii gaara duwwaa ilaali. Iddoon ati itti hin sagaagalin tokko iyyuu jiraa? Ati akkuma godaantuu gammoojjii keessaa tokkootti warra si jaallatan eeggachuuf qarqara karaa teesse; sagaagaltummaa fi hammina keetiin biyyattii xureessiteerta.
Phakamisela amehlo akho emadundulwini, ubone; kungaphi lapho ongalalwanga khona? Ezindleleni wabahlalela, njengomArabhiya enkangala; njalo ulingcolisile ilizwe ngobufebe bakho langenkohlakalo yakho.
3 Kanaafuu tiifuun ni ittifame; birraa keessa illee bokkaan hin roobne. Ati garuu nyaara sagaagaltuu qabda; qaanaʼuus ni didde.
Ngakho izihlambo zigodliwe; njalo lalingekho izulu langemuva; njalo waba lebunzi lewule, wala ukuba lenhloni.
4 Ati amma iyyuu akkana jettee na hin waamnee? ‘Abbaa koo, ijoollummaa kootii jalqabdee michuu koo,
Kawuyikuthi kusukela khathesi ukhale yini kimi uthi: Baba, ungumeluleki wobutsha bami?
5 ati yeroo hunda ni aartaa? Dheekkamsi kee baruma baraan itti fufaa?’ Ati akkasitti dubbatta; garuu waan hamaa dandeessu hunda ni hojjetta.”
Yena uzalugcina yini ulaka lwakhe phakade? Uzalulondoloza kuze kube sekucineni yini? Khangela, ukhulumile, wenza izinto ezimbi, uphumelele.
6 Waaqayyo bara Yosiyaas Mootichaa keessa akkana naan jedhe; “Ati waan Israaʼel isheen amanamummaa hin qabne sun hojjette argitee? Isheen dhaqxee tulluu ol dheeraa hunda irrattii fi muka lalisaa hunda jalatti sagaagalte.
INkosi yasisithi kimi ensukwini zikaJosiya inkosi: Ubonile yini lokho uIsrayeli ohlehlele nyovane akwenzileyo? Yena waya kuyo yonke intaba ephakemeyo, langaphansi kwaso sonke isihlahla esiluhlaza, waphingela khona.
7 Ani waan isheen erga wantoota kanneen hunda hojjettee booddee gara kootti deebitu seʼeen ture; isheen garuu hin deebine. Obboleettiin ishee Yihuudaan hin amanamne sunis waan kana argite.
Ngasengisithi esezenzile zonke lezizinto: Buyela kimi; kodwa kabuyelanga. Lodadewabo ongathembekanga uJuda wakubona lokho.
8 Ani sababii ejjummaa ishee hundaatiif waraqaa ragaa hiikkaa kenneefiin Israaʼel amanamummaa hin qabne sana of irraa ariʼe; taʼu illee ani akka obboleettiin ishee Yihuudaan amanamummaa hin qabne sun hin sodaanne nan arge; isheenis dhaqxe ejjite.
Ngasengibona, lapho ngenxa yazo zonke imbangela uIsrayeli ohlehlela nyovane aphinga ngazo, ngamxotsha ngamnika incwadi yesehlukaniso, ukuthi udadewabo ongathembekanga, uJuda, kesabanga, kodwa laye wayafeba.
9 Israaʼel sababii sagaagalummaa ofii akka waan salphaa tokkootti ilaalteef dhagaa fi muka wajjin ejjuudhaan biyya xureessite.
Kwasekusithi ngenxa yendumela yokufeba kwakhe wangcolisa ilizwe, waphinga lamatshe lezihlahla.
10 Isheen waan kana hunda hojjettu iyyuu obboleettiin ishee Yihuudaan hin amanamne sun fakkeessuuf malee garaa guutuudhaan gara kootti hin deebine” jedha Waaqayyo.
Kube kanti kukho konke lokhu udadewabo ongathembekanga, uJuda, kabuyelanga kimi ngenhliziyo yakhe yonke, kodwa ngenkohliso, itsho iNkosi.
11 Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Yihuudaa hin amanamne irra Israaʼel amantii hin qabnetu qajeeltuu dha.
INkosi yasisithi kimi: UIsrayeli ohlehlela nyovane uzilungisise kuloJuda okhohlisayo.
12 Dhaqiitii ergaa kana kaabatti labsi: “‘Yaa Israaʼel amantii dhabeettii, deebiʼi’ jedha Waaqayyo; ‘Ani siʼachi ija aariitiin si hin ilaalu; ani araara qabeessaatii’ jedha Waaqayyo. ‘Ani bara baraan hin dheekkamu.
Hamba uyememezela lamazwi ngasenyakatho uthi: Phenduka, Israyeli ohlehlela nyovane, itsho iNkosi. Kangiyikwenza ulaka lwami lwehlele phezu kwakho, ngoba ngilesihawu, itsho iNkosi, njalo kangiyikugcina ulaka lwami kuze kube phakade.
13 Ati akka Waaqayyo Waaqa keetti fincilte, akka mukkeen lalisoo hunda jalatti jaalala kee waaqota ormaatiif kennitee naa ajajamuu didde, balleessaa kee sana qofa himadhu’” jedha Waaqayyo.
Yazi kuphela isiphambeko sakho ukuthi uphambekile umelene leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, wahlakaza izindlela zakho kwabezizweni ngaphansi kwaso sonke isihlahla esiluhlaza, njalo kawulalelanga ilizwi lami, itsho iNkosi.
14 “Yaa saba amantii hin qabne, deebiʼaa” jedha Waaqayyo; “ani dhirsa keessaniitii. Ani magaalaa tokko irraa nama tokko, balbala tokko irraa nama lama filadhee Xiyoonitti isin nan fida.
Phendukani, bantwana abahlehlela nyovane, itsho iNkosi, ngoba mina ngiliganile; njalo ngizalithatha, abe munye emzini, lababili kulo usendo, ngililethe eZiyoni.
15 Ergasii ani tiksoota akka garaa kootii taʼan, kanneen beekumsaa fi hubannaadhaan isin qajeelchan isinii nan kenna.
Njalo ngizalinika abelusi njengokwenhliziyo yami, abazalelusa ngolwazi lokuqedisisa.
16 Bara sana keessa, yeroo baayʼinni keessan biyyattii keessatti akka malee guddatutti,” jedha Waaqayyo, “Namoonni siʼachi, ‘Taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo’ hin jedhan.” Wanni kun gonkumaa sammuu isaanii keessa hin seenu, yookaan hin yaadatamu; kan isa barbaadu hin jiru, yookaan kan biraa hin tolfamu.
Kuzakuthi-ke lapho selandile laba banengi elizweni, ngalezonsuku, itsho iNkosi, kabasayikuthi: Umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi; njalo kawuyikufika enhliziyweni, njalo kabayikuwukhumbula, futhi kabayikuwuhambela, kungabuyi kwenziwe futhi.
17 Isaan yeroo sanatti Yerusaalemiin Teessoo Waaqayyoo jedhanii waamu; saboonni hundinuus maqaa Waaqayyoo ulfeessuuf Yerusaalemitti walitti ni qabamu. Isaan siʼachi mata jabina hammina garaa isaanii duukaa hin buʼan.
Ngalesosikhathi bazabiza iJerusalema ngokuthi yisihlalo sobukhosi seNkosi; lezizwe zonke zizabuthaniswa kuyo, ngebizo leNkosi, eJerusalema; futhi kazisayikulandela inkani yenhliziyo yazo embi.
18 Bara sana keessa manni Yihuudaa mana Israaʼelitti ni makama; isaanis tokkummaadhaan biyya kaabaatii gara biyya ani akka dhaalaatti abbootii keessaniif kenne sanaa ni dhufu.
Ngalezonsuku indlu yakoJuda izakuya kuyo indlu yakoIsrayeli, ziphume kanyekanye elizweni lenyakatho, zize elizweni engalinika oyihlo libe yilifa labo.
19 “Ani mataan koo akkana nan jedhe; “‘Ani silaa hamman akkuma ilmaan kootti si fudhadhee biyya namatti toltu, dhaala akka malee miidhagu kan saba kamii iyyuu siif nan kenna ture.’ Ani waan ati, ‘Abbaa ko’ jettee na waamtuuf, waan ati na duukaa buʼuu hin dhiifne seʼee ture.
Kodwa mina ngathi: Ngizakubeka njani phakathi kwabantwana, ngikunike ilizwe eliloyisekayo, ilifa elihle kakhulu lezizwe. Ngasengisithi: Uzangibiza ngokuthi: Baba; njalo ungaphambuki ekungilandeleni.
20 Yaa mana Israaʼel, ati garuu akkuma niitii dhirsa isheetiif hin amanamne tokkoo, anaaf hin amanamne turte” jedha Waaqayyo.
Isibili, njengomfazi ungathembekanga kumkakhe, ngokunjalo kalithembekanga kimi, lina ndlu kaIsrayeli, itsho iNkosi.
21 Isaan karaa isaanii jalʼisanii Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii waan irraanfataniif gaara duwwaa irratti iyyi, booʼichii fi waammannaan saba Israaʼel ni dhagaʼama.
Ilizwi lezwakala emadundulwini, ukukhala lokuncenga kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, ngoba bephambule indlela yabo, bayikhohlwa iNkosi uNkulunkulu wabo.
22 “Yaa saba amantii hin qabne deebiʼaa; ani duubatti deebiʼuu keessan nan fayyisaatii.” “Kunoo, nu gara kee ni dhufna; Ati Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaatii.
Phendukani, lina bantwana abahlehlela nyovane; ngizakwelapha ukuhlehlela nyovane kwenu. Khangela, thina siyeza kuwe, ngoba uyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu.
23 Dhugumaan wacni gaarranii fi tulluuwwan irraa gowwoomsaa dha; dhugumaan fayyinni Israaʼel harka Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaa jira.
Isibili kuyize ukuthembela kusindiso oluvela emaqaqeni, lebunengini bezintaba. Isibili luseNkosini uNkulunkulu wethu usindiso lukaIsrayeli.
24 Ijoollummaa keenyaa jalqabnee waaqonni nama qaanessan, buʼaa dadhabbii abbootii keenyaa jechuunis bushaayee fi loon isaanii, ilmaan isaaniitii fi intallan isaanii fixaniiru.
Ngoba ihlazo liwuqedile umtshikatshika wabobaba kusukela ebutsheni bethu, izimvu zabo lenkomo zabo, amadodana abo lamadodakazi abo.
25 Nu qaanii keenyaan haa ciifnuu; salphinni keenyas nu haa haguugu. Nus abbootiin keenyas Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyatti cubbuu hojjenneerra; nu ijoollummaa keenyaa jalqabnee hamma ammaatti Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaaf hin ajajamne.”
Silala phansi ehlazweni lethu, lenhloni zethu zisimbozile; ngoba sonile eNkosini uNkulunkulu wethu, thina labobaba, kusukela ebutsheni bethu kuze kube lamuhla, njalo kasilalelanga ilizwi leNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu.
