UJeremiya 11 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

11 ¹Ilizwi elafika kuYeremiya livela kuBawo wethu:

²“Phulaphula amazwi alo mnqophiso, uwathethe kubantu bakwaYuda nakubo bahleli eYerusalem. ³Yithi kubo: Utsho uBawo wakwaSirayeli ukuthi: Uqalekisiwe nabani na ongathi akawaphulaphula amazwi alo mnqophiso, ⁴endabawisela umthetho ooyihlo mhla ndabakhupha ezweni laseYiputa, eziko lesinyithi, ndisithi: Ndithobeleni, nenze konke endikuwiselayo, ukuze nibe ngabantwana bam, ndibe nguBawo wenu. ^a a v4 Iziko lesinyithi lifanekisela ubukhoboka obucinezelayo baseYiputa — ukucudiswa okutshisayo, okungapheliyo, okungenandlela yakuphuma. ⁵Ndandule ke ukugcina isifungo endasifungela ooyihlo, ndibanike ilizwe elibaleka amasi nobusi—njengoko kunjalo namhla.” Ndaphendula ndathi: “Amen, Bawo wethu.”

⁶Wathi uBawo wethu kum: “Vakalisa onke la mazwi emizini yakwaYuda nasezitratweni zaseYerusalem, usithi: Phulaphulani amazwi alo mnqophiso, niwenze.”

⁷“Ndabaqononondisa ooyihlo mhla ndabanyusayo eYiputa, ndibalumkisa ngokuphindaphindiweyo kude kube namhlanje, ndisithi: Ndithobeleni. ⁸Kodwa abazange baphulaphule, abazange beve; elowo walandela intliziyo yakhe elukhuni nengendawo. Ngenxa yoko ndabazisela onke amazwi alo mnqophiso endabawisela umthetho ukuba bawugcine, kodwa abazange bawugcine.”

⁹Wathi uBawo wethu kum: “Kukho iyelenqe phakathi kwabantu bakwaYuda nabo bahleli eYerusalem. ¹⁰Babuyele ezonweni zooyise, abo bala ukuva amazwi am. Balandela thixo bambi ukuze babakhonze. UmaSirayeli noYuda bawaphule umnqophiso wam endawenza nooyise.” ¹¹Ngako oko utsho uBawo wethu ukuthi: Ndibazisela ububi abangenakubusaba. Nokuba bakhala kum, andiyi kubaphulaphula. ¹²Baya kwandula ke abemi bemizi yakwaYuda nabantu baseYerusalem ukuya kukhala koothixo ababaqhumisela ngesiqhumiso, kodwa aba abayi kubasindisa nakancinane ngexesha lokubandezelwa kwabo. ¹³Oothixo bakho baninzi ngangemizi yakho, Yuda; nezibingelelo owazimisela loo nto ilihlazo—izibingelelo zokuqhumisela uBhahali—zilingana nezitrato zaseYerusalem.

¹⁴“Ngoko ungabathandazeli aba bantu, ungabaphakamiseli isikhalo nokuba sithandazo, kuba andiyi kuphulaphula xa bathe bakhala kum ngexesha lokubandezelwa kwabo. ¹⁵Unalungelo lini na intanda yam endlwini yam, ekubeni iwenze amacebo amabi amaninzi kangaka? Inyama engcwele ingakususa na ukusindeka kwakho? Xa bufikile ububi bakho, uya kwandula ke ukuvuya?” ^b b v15 Inyama engcwele: izabelo zemibingelelo yezilwanyana ezaziziswa etempileni njengeminikelo kuThixo.

¹⁶UBawo wethu wakhe wakubiza ngomnquma ophilileyo, omhle uneziqhamo ezivuthiweyo kakuhle. Kodwa ngesandi solwandile lwesaqhwithi esikhulu uBawo wethu uya kuwutshisa ngomlilo loo mthi, aphulwe namasebe awo.

¹⁷UBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini, owakutyalayo, umisele ububi ngakuwe, ngenxa yobubi obenziwa ngamaSirayeli noYuda—bendiqumbisa ngokuqhumisela uBhahali.

Iyelenqe Lokubhukuqa uYeremiya

¹⁸UBawo wethu wandazisa oku, ndaza ndakwazi; wandula ke wandibonisa izenzo zabo. ¹⁹Kodwa mna ndandinjengetakane elithobekileyo elisiwa ekuxhelweni; ndandingazi ukuba benze iyelenqe ngam, besithi: “Masiwutshabalalise umthi neziqhamo zawo; masimnqumle ezweni labaphilayo, ukuze kungabikho namnye osakhumbula igama lakhe.” ²⁰Kodwa Bawo wemikhosi yasezulwini, wena ogweba ngobulungisa, ovavanya intliziyo nengqondo, mandibubone ubulungisa bakho kubo, kuba ndibeke kuwe ityala lam.

²¹Ngoko utsho uBawo wethu ngabantu base-Anatoti abafuna ubomi bakho, besithi: Musa ukuprofeta egameni likaBawo wethu, hleze sikubulale, ^c c v21 IAnatoti yayilikhaya likaYeremiya, umzi wababingeleli nje ngasentla kweYerusalem—ngoko ke eli yelenqe ngaye laphuma kubamelwane bakhe nezizalwana zakhe. ²²ngoko utsho uBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini ukuthi: Ndiza kubohlwaya. Amadodana abo aya kufa likrele, oonyana babo neentombi zabo bafe yindlala. ²³Akukho masalela aya kusinda; ndiya kubazisela ububi abantu base-Anatoti ngomnyaka wohlwayo lwabo.
