< Selemaia 26 >
1 ʻI he kamataʻanga ʻoe pule ʻa Sihoiakimi ko e foha ʻo Siosaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta naʻe haʻu ʻae folofola ni meia Sihova, ʻo pehē,
Ekuqaleni kokubusa kukaJehoyakhimi indodana kaJosiya inkosi yakoJuda, kwafika ilizwi leli livela kuThixo lisithi,
2 ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova; “Tuʻu ʻi he lotoʻā ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, pea lea ki he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, ʻakinautolu ʻoku haʻu ke lotu ki he fale ʻo Sihova, ko e ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe ke lea ʻaki kiate kinautolu; ʻoua naʻa fakasiʻisiʻi ha lea:
“UThixo uthi: Mana egumeni lendlu kaThixo ukhulume kubo bonke abantu basemadolobheni akoJuda abeza endlini kaThixo ukuba bakhonze. Batshele konke engakulaya khona, kungabi lelizwi olitshiyayo.
3 Heiʻilo te nau fanongo, pea tafoki taki taha ʻae tangata mei hono hala kovi, koeʻuhi ke u fakatomala ʻi he kovi ʻaia naʻaku tokanga ke fai kiate kinautolu koeʻuhi ko e kovi ʻo ʻenau ngaahi faianga.”
Mhlawumbe bazalalela omunye lomunye wabo aphenduke endleleni yakhe embi. Lapho-ke ngizadeda ngingabehliseli umonakalo ebengizawenza kubo ngenxa yobubi ababenzileyo.
4 Pea te ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fanongo kiate au, ʻo ʻeveʻeva ʻi heʻeku fono, ʻaia kuo u tuku ʻi homou ʻao,
Tshono kubo uthi, ‘UThixo uthi: Nxa lingangilaleli lilandele umthetho wami engalibekela wona,
5 ʻO fanongo ki he lea ʻa ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau palōfita, ʻakinautolu kuo u fekau kiate kimoutolu, ʻo tuʻu hengihengi hake pe, ʻo fekau ʻakinautolu, ka naʻe ʻikai te mou tokanga;
njalo nxa lingalaleli amazwi ezinceku zami abaphrofethi, engabathuma kini njalonjalo (lanxa lingalalelanga),
6 Pea te u toki ngaohi ʻae fale ni ke hangē ko Sailo, pea te u ngaohi ʻae kolo ni ko e fakamalaʻia ki he ngaahi kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani.”
ngizakwenza indlu le ibe njengeShilo ledolobho leli libe yinto yokuqalekiswa phakathi kwezizwe zonke zomhlaba.’”
7 Pea naʻe fanongo ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau palōfita pea mo e kakai kotoa pē ki he lea ʻaki ʻe Selemaia ʻae ngaahi lea ni ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova.
Abaphristi, labaphrofethi kanye labantu bonke bamuzwa uJeremiya ekhuluma amazwi la endlini kaThixo.
8 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he hili ʻae lea kotoa pē ʻa Selemaia, ʻaia naʻe fekau kiate ia ʻe Sihova ke ne lea ʻaki ki he kakai kotoa pē, naʻe ʻave ia ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki, mo e kau palōfita, mo e kakai kotoa pē, ʻonau pehē, “Ko e moʻoni te ke mate.
Kodwa kwathi uJeremiya eqeda nje ukubatshela bonke abantu konke uThixo ayemlaye ukuba akutsho, abaphristi, labaphrofethi kanye labantu bonke bamphuthuma bathi kuye, “Kumele ufe!
9 Ko e hā kuo ke kikite ai ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova, ʻo pehē, ʻE hoko ʻae fale ni ʻo hangē ko Sailo, pea ʻe lala mo taʻehanokakai ʻae kolo ni?” Pea naʻe fakataha ʻae kakai kotoa pē kia Selemaia ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova.
Kungani uphrofetha ngebizo likaThixo usithi indlu le izakuba njengeShilo ledolobho leli lizachitheka abantu basuke kulo?” Abantu bonke bambuthanela uJeremiya endlini kaThixo.
10 Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae houʻeiki ʻo Siuta ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻa nau haʻu mei he fale ʻoe tuʻi ki he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻo nofo ki lalo ʻi he hūʻanga ki he matapā foʻou ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova.
Kwathi izikhulu zakoJuda sezizwe ngalezizinto, zaya endlini kaThixo zisuka esigodlweni senkosi zahlala ezindaweni zazo entubeni yeSango elitsha lendlu kaThixo.
11 Pea naʻe toki lea ʻae kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau palōfita ki he houʻeiki pea mo e kakai kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku totonu ke mate ʻae tangata ni; he kuo ne kikite ki he kolo ni, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo mou fanongo ʻaki homou telinga.”
Abaphristi, labaphrofethi basebesithi ezikhulwini lasebantwini bonke, “Umuntu lo kumele agwetshelwe ukufa ngoba uphrofetha kubi ngedolobho leli. Likuzwile ngezindlebe zenu!”
12 Pea naʻe toki lea ʻa Selemaia, ki he houʻeiki kotoa pē, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “Naʻe fekau au ʻe Sihova ke kikite ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē kuo mou fanongo ki ai ki he fale ni pea mo e kolo ni.
UJeremiya wasesithi ezikhulwini zonke lasebantwini bonke: “UThixo ungithumile ukuba ngiphrofethe kubi ngendlu le langedolobho leli zonke izinto elizizwileyo.
13 Ka ko eni, mou fakalelei homou ngaahi hala mo hoʻomou ngaahi faianga, pea mou talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko homou ʻOtua; pea ʻe fakatomala ʻa Sihova ʻi he kovi ʻaia kuo ne lea ʻaki kiate kimoutolu.
Ngakho lungisani izindlela zenu lezenzo zenu lilalele uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu. Ngalokho uThixo uzadeda angabe esalehlisela umonakalo abememezele ukuwehlisela kini.
14 Pea koeʻuhi ko au, Vakai, ʻoku ou ʻi homou nima: fai kiate au ʻaia ʻoku lelei kiate kimoutolu.
Kodwa mina, ngisezandleni zenu; yenzani kimi loba kuyini lokho elikubona kukuhle, kufanele.
15 Ka mou ʻilo pau eni, kapau te mou tāmateʻi au, te mou ʻomi ʻae toto taʻehalaia kiate kimoutolu mo e kolo ni, pea mo hono kakai: he ko e moʻoni naʻe fekau au ʻe Sihova kiate kimoutolu ke lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni ki homou telinga.”
Kodwa likwazi, impela ukuthi lingangibulala, lizakwehlisela phezu kwenu icala legazi elimsulwa laphezu kwedolobho leli kanye laphezu kwabantu abahlala kulo, ngoba ngeqiniso uThixo ungithumile kini ukuba ngikhulume wonke amazwi la lani lisizwa.”
16 Pea naʻe toki lea ʻae houʻeiki mo e kakai kotoa pē ki he kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau palōfita; “ʻOku ʻikai totonu ke mate ʻae tangata ni: he kuo ne lea kiate kitautolu ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua.”
Izikhulu labantu bonke basebesithi kubaphristi lakubaphrofethi, “Umuntu lo akumelanga abulawe! Ukhulume kithi ngebizo likaThixo uNkulunkulu wethu.”
17 Pea naʻe toki tuʻu hake ʻae kau mātuʻa niʻihi ʻoe fonua, pea lea ki he fakataha kotoa pē ʻoe kakai, ʻo pehē,
Abanye babadala baselizweni basondela phambili bakhuluma kulolonke ibandla labantu bathi,
18 “Naʻe kikite ʻe Maika, ko e [tangata ]Molesi ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Hesekaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea naʻa ne lea ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻo Siuta, ʻo pehē, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau; ‘ʻE keli ʻa Saione ʻo hangē ko e ngoue, pea ʻe hoko ʻa Selūsalema ko e ngaahi tafungofunga, pea ko e moʻunga ʻoe fale ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻoe toafa.’
“UMikha waseMoreshethi waphrofitha ensukwini zikaHezekhiya inkosi yakoJuda. Wabatshela bonke abantu bakoJuda wathi, ‘UThixo uSomandla uthi: IZiyoni izalinywa njengensimu, iJerusalema izakuba yinqwaba yemfucuza, intaba yethempeli ibe yindunduma eyande izixukwana.’
19 He naʻe tāmateʻi ia koā ʻe Hesekaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta mo Siuta kotoa pē? ʻIkai naʻa ne manavahē kia Sihova, pea kumi kia Sihova, pea naʻe fakatomala ʻa Sihova ʻi he kovi ʻaia naʻa ne lea ʻaki kiate kinautolu? Ka ʻoku tau fakatupu ʻae kovi lahi kiate kitautolu.”
Kanje uHezekhiya inkosi yakoJuda loba omunye umuntu nje wakoJuda wambulala na? UHezekhiya kamesabanga yini uThixo wacela umusa kuye? UThixo kadedanga wayekela ukubehlisela umonakalo ayewumemezele kubo na? Sekuseduze ukuthi sizehlisele umonakalo owesabekayo phezu kwethu!”
20 Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangata foki naʻe kikite ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova ko Ulisa ko e foha ʻo Semaia mei Kesa-Sialimi, ʻaia naʻe kikite ki he kolo ni, pea ki he fonua ni, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻa Selemaia:
(U-Uriya indodana kaShemaya owaseKhiriyathi-Jeyarimi ungomunye umuntu owaphrofetha ngebizo likaThixo: waphrofitha izinto ezinjalo ngedolobho leli langelizwe leli njengoJeremiya.
21 Pea ʻi he fanongo ki heʻene ngaahi lea ʻa Sihoiakimi ko e tuʻi mo hono kau tangata mālohi kotoa pē, mo e houʻeiki kotoa pē, naʻe kumi ke tāmateʻi ia ʻe he tuʻi: ka ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻa Ulisa, naʻe manavahē ia, pea hola, pea ʻalu ki ʻIsipite;
Kwathi inkosi uJehoyakhimi lezinduna zakhe kanye lezikhulu zakhe besizwa amazwi akhe, bafuna ukumbulala. Kodwa u-Uriya wakuzwa lokho wasebalekela eGibhithe esesaba.
22 Ka naʻe fekau ʻe Sihoiakimi ko e tuʻi ʻae kau tangata ki ʻIsipite, ko Elinatani ko e foha ʻo ʻAkipoa, pea mo e kau tangata niʻihi mo ia ki ʻIsipite.
UJehoyakhimi inkosi, wathuma u-Elinathani indodana ka-Akhibhori lamanye amadoda eGibhithe.
23 Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻa Ulisa mei ʻIsipite, ke ʻomi ia kia Sihoiakimi ko e tuʻi; ʻaia naʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻaki ʻae heletā, pea lī hono ʻangaʻanga ki he faʻitoka, ʻoe kakai meʻa vale.
Bamthatha u-Uriya eGibhithe bamusa kuJehoyakhimi inkosi wambulala ngenkemba isidumbu sakhe saphoselwa endaweni yokungcwabela abantukazana.)
24 Ka naʻe ʻia Selemaia ʻae nima ʻo ʻAhikami ko e foha ʻo Safani, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa tukuange ia ki he nima ʻoe kakai ke tāmateʻi.
Phezu kwalokho, u-Ahikhami indodana kaShafani wasekela uJeremiya, ngakho kanikezwanga ebantwini ukuba bambulale.
