Ermiyaas 5
1 “Daandiiwwan Yerusaalem irra olii gadi deddeebiʼaa; asii fi achi ilaalaatii qalbeeffadhaa; oobdiiwwan ishee sakattaʼaa. Isin yoo nama waan qajeelaa hojjetu, kan dhugaa barbaadu tokko illee argattan ani magaalaa kanaaf dhiifama nan godha.
“Yehla ukhwele ngemigwaqo yaseJerusalema, ukhangele emaceleni wonke, ucabange, uhlolisise wonke amagceke ayo. Nxa ungathola umuntu oyedwa nje oqhuba ngobuqotho efuna iqiniso, ngizalithethelela idolobho leli.
2 Isaan utuma ‘Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa’ jedhanuu amma iyyuu sobaan kakatu.”
Lanxa nje besithi, ‘Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ekhona,’ bajinge befunga amanga.”
3 Yaa Waaqayyo, iji kee dhugaa hin barbaaduu? Ati isaan dhoofte; garuu isaan hin dhukkubne; ati isaan caccabsite; isaan garuu sirreeffamuu didan. Isaan dhagaa caalaa mataa jabaatanii qalbii jijjiirrachuu didan.
Awu Thixo, amehlo akho kawadingi qiniso na? Wabatshaya, kodwa kabezwanga buhlungu, wabahlifiza, kodwa bala ukuqondiswa. Benza ubuso babo baba lukhuni kulamatshe, bala ukuphenduka.
4 Anis akkana jedheen yaade; “Jarri kunneen hiyyeeyyii dha; isaan gowwoota; isaan karaa Waaqayyoo, seera Waaqa isaanii hin beekaniitii.
Ngacabanga ngathi, “Laba ngabayanga nje, bayizithutha, ngoba indlela kaThixo kabayazi, lemilayo kaNkulunkulu wabo.
5 Kanaafuu ani hangafoota bira dhaqee isaanitti nan dubbadha; dhugumaan isaan karaa Waaqayyoo, seera Waaqa isaanis ni beeku.” Isaanis akkasuma waanjoo of irraa caccabsanii hidhaas of irraa kukkutaniiru.
Ngakho-ke ngizakuya kubakhokheli ngikhulume labo, ngeqiniso indlela kaThixo bayayazi, lemilayo kaNkulunkulu wabo.” Kodwa nganhliziyonye labo balephula ijogwe baqamula lezibopho.
6 Kanaafuu leenci bosonaa baʼee isaan nyaata; yeeyyiin gammoojjiis dhufee isaan balleessa; qeerransi warra gad baʼan ciccirachuuf magaalaawwan isaanii biratti riphee eeggata; fincilli isaanii akka malee guddate; duubatti deebiʼuun isaaniis baayʼateeraatii.
Ngakho isilwane esivela ehlathini sizabahlasela, lempisi evela enkangala ibadlwengule, ingwe izabacathamela eduze lamadolobho abo ukudabudabula loba ngubani ophumayo, ngoba iziphambeko zabo zinkulu, lokuhlehlela kwabo emuva kunengi.
7 “Ani akkamiinan dhiifama isiniif gochuu dandaʼa? Ijoolleen kee na dhiisanii waaqota waaqota hin taʼiniin kakataniiru. Ani waan isaaniif barbaachisu hunda kenneefiin ture; isaan garuu ni ejjan; gara manneen sagaagaltuuwwaniitis gugatan.
“Ngingalithethelela ngenxa yani na? Abantwana benu bangidelile, bafunga ngabonkulunkulu abangasibonkulunkulu, ngabanika konke abakuswelayo, kodwa bona bafeba baminyana ezindlini zezifebe.
8 Isaan korommii fardeenii kanneen akka gaariitti sooramanii dha; tokkoon tokkoon isaanii niitii namaatti himimsu.
Bangamabhiza amaduna asuthayo, agcwele inkanuko, omunye lomunye ekhalela umfazi wenye indoda.
9 Ani waan kanaaf isaan hin adabuu ree?” jedha Waaqayyo. “Ani mataan koo saba akka saba kanaa haaloo hin baʼuu?
Ngingabajezisi kulokhu na?” kutsho uThixo. “Ngingaphindiseli esizweni esinjengalesi na?
10 “Dallaa dhagaa isheetti ol baʼaatii balleessaa; garuu guutumaan guutuutti miti. Dameewwan ishee irraa ciraa; sabni kun saba Waaqayyoo miti.
Ngenani lidabule phakathi kwezivini zaso lizidlwengule, kodwa lingazitshabalalisi ngokupheleleyo. Phundlani ingatsha zalo, ngoba abantu laba kabasibo bakaThixo.
11 Manni Israaʼelii fi manni Yihuudaa, guutumaan guutuutti anaaf hin amanamne” jedha Waaqayyo.
Indlu ka-Israyeli lendlu kaJuda kazithembekanga impela kimi,” kutsho uThixo.
12 Isaan waaʼee Waaqayyoo soba dubbatan; akkanas jedhan; “Inni homaa hin godhu! Miidhaan tokko iyyuu nutti hin dhufu; goraadee yookaan beela hin arginu.
Baqambe amanga ngoThixo bathi, “Kasoze enze lutho! Akulabubi obuzasehlela, kasiyikubona impi loba indlala.
13 Raajonni bubbee malee homaa miti; dubbiin isaan keessa hin jiru; wanni isaan dubbatan isaanumatti haa deebiʼu.”
Abaphrofethi bangumoya nje, lelizwi kalikho kubo, ngakho abakutshoyo kakwenziwe kubo.”
14 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha: “Sabni kun waan dubbii kana dubbateef, ani dubbii koo afaan kee keessatti ibidda, saba kana immoo qoraan ibiddi gubu nan godha.
Ngakho-ke uThixo uNkulunkulu uSomandla uthi: “Njengoba abantu sebekhulume amazwi la, ngizakwenza amazwi ami emlonyeni wakho abe ngumlilo labantu laba babe zinkuni oziqothulayo.”
15 Yaa mana Israaʼel,” jedha Waaqayyo; “Ani saba duriitii fi jabaa, saba ati afaan isaa hin beekne, kan ati dubbii isaa illee hin hubanne tokko biyya fagoodhaa sitti nan fida.
UThixo uthi, “Wena ndlu ka-Israyeli, ngizaletha isizwe esivela khatshana ukuba sikuhlasele, isizwe esidala esiqinileyo, isizwe ulimi lwaso ongalwaziyo, lenkulumo yaso ongayizwayo.
16 Manʼeen xiyya isaanii akkuma awwaala banamaa ti; hundi isaaniis loltoota jajjaboo dha.
Imixhaka yaso ifana lengcwaba elivulekileyo, bonke bangamabutho alamandla.
17 Isaan midhaan keetii fi buddeena kee ni nyaatu; ilmaan keetii fi intallan kee ni ajjeesu; bushaayee fi loon kee ni nyaatu; wayinii keetii fi mukkeen harbuu keetii ni nyaatu. Magaalaawwan dallaa jabaa qaban kanneen ati amanatte sana goraadeedhaan barbadeessu.
Bazatshwabadela amabele enu lokudla kwenu, batshwabadele amadodana enu kanye lamadodakazi enu, bazatshwabadela izimvu zenu kanye lenkomo zenu, bazatshwabadela amavini enu kanye lemikhiwa yenu. Amadolobho avikelweyo eliwathembileyo bazawachitha ngenkemba.
18 “Taʼus ani bara sana keessa iyyuu guutumaan guutuutti isin hin balleessu” jedha Waaqayyo.
Ikanti langalezozinsuku,” kutsho uThixo, “angiyikuliqeda du.
19 “Yommuu namoonni, ‘Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya maaliif waan kana hunda nutti fide?’ jedhanii gaafatanitti, ati, ‘Isin akkuma na dhiiftanii biyya keessan keessatti waaqota ormaa tajaajiltan sana, ammas biyya kan mataa keessanii hin taʼin keessatti ormoota ni tajaajiltu’ jettee isaanitti himta.
Lapho abantu bebuza besithi, ‘Kungani uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu enze konke lokhu kithi?’ Batshele uthi, ‘Njengoba lingilahlile lakhonza onkulunkulu bezizweni elizweni lenu, ngokunjalo khathesi lizasebenzela abezizweni elizweni elingayisilo lenu.’
20 “Waan kana mana Yaaqoobitti himaa; Yihuudaa keessattis labsaa:
Memezela lokhu endlini kaJakhobe njalo ukubike lakoJuda uthi:
21 Isin uummanni gowwaan hubannaa hin qabne, warri utuu ija qabdanuu hin argine kanneen utuu gurra qabdanuu hin dhageenye waan kana dhagaʼa.
Zwanini lokhu, lina zithutha zabantu abangelangqondo, abalamehlo kodwa kababoni, abalezindlebe kodwa kabezwa:
22 Isin na hin sodaattanii?” jedha Waaqayyo. “Fuula koo duratti hin hollattanii? Ani galaanaaf cirracha daarii dallaa bara baraa kan inni qaxxaamuruu hin dandeenye godhee tolcheera. Dhaʼaan galaanaa yoo itti buʼe iyyuu isa diiguu hin dandaʼu; galaanichi yoo huurse iyyuu, isa cabsee darbuu hin dandaʼu.
Akumelanga lingesabe na?” kutsho uThixo. “Kaliyikuthuthumela phambi kwami na? Ngenza itshebetshebe laba ngumngcele wolwandle umkhawulo wanini lanini olungeke luweqe. Amagagasi angavinqoza, kodwa awangeke edlule, angahlokoma, kodwa awangeke aweqe.
23 Sabni kun garuu mata jabeessaa fi fincilaa dha; innis karaa irraa jalʼatee badeera.
Kodwa abantu laba balezinhliziyo ezilukhuni ezihlamukayo, baphambukile, balahleka.
24 Isaan garaa isaaniitti akkana hin jedhan; ‘Kottaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya isa bokkaa arfaasaatii fi bokkaa birraa waqtiidhaan kennu, isa torbanoota itti midhaan walitti qabannu yeroo isaaniitti nuu kennu sana haa sodaannu.’
Kabatsho ezinhliziyweni zabo ukuthi, ‘Kasimesabeni uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu, onisa izulu ngesikhathi salo ekwindla lentwasa, osithembisa amaviki amiselwe ukuvuna.’
25 Balleessaan keessan waan kana isin irraa deebiseera; cubbuun keessan waan gaarii isin dhabsiiseera.
Ukona kwenu kukuvimbele lokhu, izono zenu zilemuka okuhle.
26 “Saba koo gidduu namoota hamoo akka warra nama qabuuf kiyyoo kaaʼaniitti, akkuma nama kiyyoon simbirroo qabuutti riphanii eeggatantu jira.
Phakathi kwabantu bami kulabantu ababi abacathama njengabantu abathiya izinyoni, lanjengalabo abathiya imijibila yokubamba abantu.
27 Akkuma manʼeen simbiraan guutamu, manneen isaanii sobaan guutamu; isaanis sooreyyii fi jajjaboo taʼanii,
Njengezitsha ezigcwele izinyoni, izindlu zabo zigcwele inkohliso; sebenothile njalo sebelamandla
28 gabbatanii bareedaniiru; hamminni isaanii dhuma hin qabu; isaan murtii qajeelaa hin barbaadan. Isaan dhimma ijoollee abbaa hin qabneetiif hin falman; mirga hiyyeeyyiitiifis hin dhaabatan.
sebezimukile njalo babancwaba. Izenzo zabo ezimbi kazilamkhawulo, kabakudingi ukulunga. Izintandane kabazikhulumeli ukuba zinqobe, amalungelo abayanga kabawavikeli.
29 Ani waan kanaaf isaan hin adabuu?” jedha Waaqayyo. “Ani saba akkasii haaloo hin baafadhuu?
Akumelanga ngibajezisele lokhu na?” kutsho uThixo. “Akumelanga ngiphindisele esizweni esinjengalesi na?
30 “Wanni suukaneessaan nama rifachiisu tokko biyyattii keessatti taʼeera:
Into eyesabekayo leyethusayo isiyenzakele kulelilizwe:
31 Raajonni raajii sobaa dubbatu; luboonni humnuma isaaniitiin biyya bulchu; sabni koos waan akkasii jaallata; isin garuu dhuma irratti maal gochuuf jirtu?
Abaphrofethi baphrofitha amanga, abaphristi babusa ngamandla abo, labantu bami bakuthanda kunjalo. Kodwa lizakwenzani ekucineni?”
