< Selemaia 42 >

1 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻo ofi ʻae houʻeikitau kotoa pē, mo Sohanani ko e foha ʻo Kalia, pea mo Seasania ko e foha ʻo Hosaia, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē mei he iiki ʻo aʻu ki he lalahi,
Zonke izikhulu zebutho, kanye loJohanani indodana kaKhareya loJezaniya indodana kaHoshayiya, labantu bonke kusukela komncane kusiya komkhulu baya
2 Pea naʻa nau lea kia Selemaia ko e palōfita, “ʻOku mau kole kiate koe, tuku ke lelei ʻi ho ʻao ʻemau kole, pea hūfia ʻakimautolu kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ko kimautolu kotoa pē ʻoku toe; (he ko e toenga tokosiʻi ʻakimautolu ʻoe tokolahi, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku ke mamata ki ai: )
kuJeremiya umphrofethi bathi kuye, “Ake uzwe isicelo sethu ubakhulekele bonke laba abaseleyo kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakho. Ngoba njengoba lawe uzibonela khathesi, lanxa sake saba banengi khathesi kusele abalutshwana kuphela.
3 Koeʻuhi ke fakahā kiate kimautolu ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻae hala te mau ʻalu ai, pea mo e meʻa te mau fai.”
Khuleka ukuba uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho asitshele lapho okumele siye khona lalokho okumele sikwenze.”
4 Pea pehē ʻe Selemaia, “Ko e palōfita kiate kinautolu, kuo u fanongo kiate kimoutolu; vakai, te u lotu kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ʻo hangē ko hoʻomou ngaahi lea; pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻe tali ai ʻe Sihova kiate kimoutolu, te u fakahā ia kiate kimoutolu; ʻe ʻikai te u taʻofi ha meʻa meiate kimoutolu.”
UJeremiya umphrofethi waphendula wathi, “Ngizwile. Ngizakhuleka impela kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu njengoba licelile; ngizalitshela konke uThixo akutshoyo ngingalifihleli lutho.”
5 Pea naʻa nau toki pehē kia Selemaia, “Ke ʻiate kitautolu ʻa Sihova ko e fakamoʻoni angatonu mo moʻoni, kapau ʻe ʻikai te mau fai ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻaia ʻe fekau ai koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate kimautolu.
Basebesithi kuJeremiya, “UThixo kabe ngufakazi wethu oqotho lothembekileyo nxa singenzi okuvumelana lakho konke uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho akuthuma ukuba usitshele khona.
6 Kapau ʻoku lelei ia pe kovi, te mau talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku mau fekau koe ki ai; koeʻuhi ke lelei ia kiate kimautolu, ʻoka mau ka talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua.”
Lanxa kukuhle kumbe kukubi sizamlalela uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu esikuthuma kuye, ukuze kusilungele, ngoba sizamlalela uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu.”
7 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe hongofulu, naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Selemaia.
Emva kwensuku ezilitshumi ilizwi likaThixo lafika kuJeremiya.
8 Pea ne ui kia Sohanani ko e foha ʻo Kalia, mo e houʻeikitau kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻo fai mei he iiki ʻo aʻu ki he lalahi,
Ngakho wabiza uJohanani indodana kaKhareya lezikhulu zonke zebutho ezazilaye kanye labantu bonke kusukela komncane kusiya komkhulu.
9 Pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku pehē mai ʻa Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻa mou fekau au ki ai ke ʻatu hoʻomou kole ʻi hono ʻao;
Wathi kubo, “UThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, elingithume ukuba ngiyekwethula isicelo senu kuye, uthi:
10 ‘Kapau ʻoku mou loto ke nofo ʻi he fonua ni te u langa ʻakimoutolu pea ʻe ʻikai veteki hifo ʻakimoutolu, te u tō ʻakimoutolu pea ʻe ʻikai taʻaki hake ʻakimoutolu: he ʻoku ou fakatomala ʻi he kovi kuo u fai kiate kimoutolu.
‘Lingahlala kulelilizwe ngizalakha, ngingalibhidlizi, ngizalihlanyela ngingalisiphuni, ngoba ngilusizi ngomonakalo engawenza kini.
11 Pea ʻoua naʻa manavahē ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ʻaia ʻoku mou manavahē ki ai;’ ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘ʻOua naʻa manavahē kiate ia: he ʻoku ou ʻiate kimoutolu ke fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu, pea ke fakahaofi ʻakimoutolu mei hono nima.
Lingayesabi inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, eliyesabayo khathesi. Lingayesabi, kutsho uThixo, ngoba ngilani njalo ngizalihlenga ngilikhulule ezandleni zayo.
12 Pea te u fakahā ʻeku ngaahi ʻaloʻofa kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻofa kiate kimoutolu, pea pule kiate kimoutolu ke mou liliu ki homou fonua.
Ngizakuba lesihawu kini ukuze layo ibe lesihawu kini ilibuyisele elizweni lakini.’
13 “‘Pea kapau te mou lea ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻikai te mau nofo ʻi he fonua ni,” pe fai talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
Kodwa lina lingathi, ‘Kasiyikuhlala kulelizwe,’ ngalokho lingalaleli uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu,
14 ‌ʻO lea pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai; ka te mau ʻalu ki he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea ʻe ʻikai te mau mamata ai ki he tau, pe fanongo ki he meʻalea, pe fiekaia, pea te mau nofo ʻi ai:”’
njalo nxa lisithi, ‘Hatshi, thina sizakuyahlala eGibhithe lapho esingayikubona khona impi loba sizwe icilongo kumbe silambele ukudla,
15 Pea ko ia mou fanongo ni ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ʻae toenga ʻo Siuta; ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; ‘Kapau, ʻoku pau ke hanga atu homou mata ke ʻalu ki ʻIsipite, pea ʻāunofo ʻi ai;
zwanini-ke ilizwi likaThixo, lina abasele koJuda.’ UThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi: ‘Nxa liphitshekela ukuya eGibhithe njalo lihambe ukuyahlala khona,
16 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ko e heletā ʻaia naʻa mou manavahē ki ai, te ne tuli ʻo maʻu ʻakimoutolu ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea mo e honge, ʻaia naʻa mou manavahē ki ai, te ne muimui ʻo ofi kiate kimoutolu ʻi ʻIsipite, pea te mou mate ʻi ai.
lapho-ke inkemba eliyesabayo izalifica khona, lendlala eliyesabayo izalilandela eGibhithe, njalo lizafela khonale.
17 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē ki he kau tangata kotoa pē, ʻe fakahangatonu honau mata ke ʻalu ki ʻIsipite ke ʻāunofo ki ai; te nau mate ʻi he heletā, mo e honge, pea mo e mahaki fakaʻauha: pea ʻe ʻikai toe ha tokotaha ʻiate kinautolu, pe hao mei he kovi ʻaia te u fakahoko kiate kinautolu.’
Ngempela bonke abaphitshekela ukuya eGibhithe ukuba bahlale khona bazakufa ngenkemba, indlala lesifo; kakho lamunye wabo ozasinda loba aphephe kumonakalo engizabehlisela wona.’
18 He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; ‘ʻO hangē kuo lilingi ʻeku tuputāmaki mo hoku houhau ki he kakai ʻo Selūsalema; ʻe pehē hono lilingi atu ʻa hoku houhau kiate kimoutolu, ʻoka mou ka ʻalu ki ʻIsipite: pea te mou hoko ko e fehiʻanekina, mo e meʻa fakaofo, mo e fakamalaʻia, pea mo e ongoongo kovi; pea ʻe ʻikai te mou toe mamata ki he potu ni.’
UThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi, ‘Njengalokhu ukuthukuthela kwami lolaka lwami kwehliselwa phezu kwabantu abahlala eJerusalema, ngokunjalo ulaka lwami luzakwehliselwa phezu kwenu lapho lisiya eGibhithe. Lizakuba yinto yokuthukwa lokwesatshwa, ukulahlwa lokuhlekwa; indawo le kaliyikuyibona futhi.’
19 “Kuo folofola ʻe Sihova kiate kimoutolu ʻo pehē, ʻakimoutolu ʻae toenga kakai ʻo Siuta; “ʻOua naʻa mou ʻalu ki ʻIsipite: ka mou ʻilo fakapapau kuo u akonaki kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ʻaho ni.
Lina abasele koJuda, uThixo ulitshelile wathi, ‘Lingayi eGibhithe.’ Wobani leqiniso lalokhu ukuthi: Ngiyalixwayisa lamuhla
20 He naʻa mou fai kākā ʻi homou loto, ʻi hoʻomou fekau au kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ʻo pehē, ‘Hūfia ʻakimautolu kia Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua; pea hangē ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku folofola ʻaki ʻe Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ko ia ʻe fakahā kiate kimautolu, pea te mau fai ia.’
ukuthi lenza iphutha elikhulu kakhulu ngokungithuma kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu lisithi, ‘Sikhulekele kuThixo uNkulunkulu wethu; usitshele konke akutshoyo sizakwenza.’
21 Pea kuo u fakahā ia kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ʻaho ni; ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻaia kuo ne fekau ai au kiate kimoutolu.
Sengilitshelile lamuhla, kodwa lilokhu lingalaleli lokho uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu angithume ukuthi ngilitshele khona.
22 Pea ko ia mou ʻilo fakapapau, te mou mate ʻi he heletā, mo e honge, pea mo e mahaki fakaʻauha, ʻi he potu ʻaia ʻoku mou holi ke ʻalu ʻo ʻāunofo ai.”
Ngakho khathesi wobani leqiniso ukuthi lizakufa ngenkemba, indlala lesifo endaweni elifuna ukuyahlala kuyo.”
