UJeremiya 27 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

27 ¹Ekuqaleni kokulawula kukaZedekiya unyana kaYosiya njengokumkani wakwaYuda, lafika eli lizwi kuYeremiya livela kuBawo wethu:

²Utsho uBawo wethu kum ukuthi: Zenzele imitya neentonga zedyokhwe, uzibeke entanyeni yakho. ³Wandule uthumele ilizwi kookumkani bakwaEdom, noMowabhi, no-Amon, naseTire, naseTsidon, ngezigidimi ezize eYerusalem kuZedekiya ukumkani wakwaYuda.

⁴Baphathise ukuba baxelele iinkosi zabo, usithi: Utsho uBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini ukuthi: “Xelelani iinkosi zenu nithi: ⁵Ndim ngokwam owawenzayo umhlaba, kunye nabantu nezilwanyana eziphezu kwawo, ngamandla am amakhulu nangengalo yam eyolukileyo, ndaye ndiwunika lowo ndibona ukuba ulungele kum. ⁶Ngoku ndiwanikele onke la mazwe kuNebhukadenetsare ukumkani waseBhabhilon, umkhonzi wam; kwaneenyamakazi zasendle ndizinike yena ukuba zimkhonze. ⁷Zonke iintlanga ziya kumkhonza yena, nonyana wakhe, nonyana wonyana wakhe, lide lifika ixesha lelizwe lakhe; kwandule iintlanga ezininzi nookumkani abakhulu bamenze akhonze bona.”

⁸Ke uhlanga nokuba bubukumkani olungayi kumkhonza uNebhukadenetsare ukumkani waseBhabhilon, nolungayi kubeka intamo yalo phantsi kwedyokhwe yakhe, olo hlanga ndiya kulohlwaya ngekrele, nangendlala, nangesibetho, utsho uBawo wethu, ndide ndiluphelise ngesandla sakhe. ⁹“Ngoko ke ningabaphulaphuli abaprofeti benu, nabavumisi benu, nabaphuphi benu, namatola enu, namagqwirha enu, abathi kuni: ‘Aniyi kumkhonza ukumkani waseBhabhilon.’ ¹⁰Baprofeta ubuxoki kuni, benisusa kude nelizwe lenu; ndiya kunigxotha, nife. ¹¹Ke uhlanga oluthi lubeke intamo yalo phantsi kwedyokhwe yokumkani waseBhabhilon, lumkhonze, ndolushiya kwelo lizwe lalo, utsho uBawo wethu, ukuze lulisebenze, luhlale kulo.”

¹²Ndathetha kwawo la mazwi kuZedekiya ukumkani wakwaYuda, ndathi: Bekani iintamo zenu phantsi kwedyokhwe yokumkani waseBhabhilon, nimkhonze yena nabantu bakhe, niphile. ¹³Yini na ukuba nife, wena nabantu bakho, ngekrele, nangendlala, nangesibetho, njengoko utshilo uBawo wethu ngohlanga olungayi kumkhonza ukumkani waseBhabhilon?

¹⁴Ningabaphulaphuli abaprofeti abathi kuni: ‘Aniyi kumkhonza ukumkani waseBhabhilon,’ kuba baprofeta ubuxoki kuni. ¹⁵Andibathumanga, utsho uBawo wethu, ukanti baprofeta ubuxoki egameni lam, ngoko ndiya kunigxotha, nibhubhe, nina nabaprofeti abaprofeta kuni.

¹⁶Ndandule ndathetha kubabingeleli nakubo bonke aba bantu, ndathi: Utsho uBawo wethu ukuthi: Ningabaphulaphuli abaprofeti benu abathi, beprofeta: ‘Niyabona, impahla yendlu kaBawo wethu iya kukhawuleza ibuyiselwe ivela eBhabhilon’—baprofeta ubuxoki kuni. ¹⁷Ningabaphulaphuli. Khonzani ukumkani waseBhabhilon, niphile. Yini na ukuba lo mzi ube ngamanxuwa?

¹⁸Ke ukuba bangabaprofeti, nelizwi likaBawo wethu likubo, mababongoze uBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini, ukuze impahla eseleyo endlwini yakhe, nasendlwini yokumkani wakwaYuda, naseYerusalem, ingayi eBhabhilon. ¹⁹Kuba utsho uBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini ngeentsika, nangoLwandle, nangeenqwelwana, nangentsalela yempahla eseleyo kulo mzi, ^a a v19 Apha “uLwandle” alulolwandle lwamanzi, kodwa sisitya esikhulu sobhedu esasimi entendelezweni yetempile, esasisetyenziswa ngababingeleli ukuhlamba.

²⁰eyo wayengayithabathanga uNebhukadenetsare ukumkani waseBhabhilon, oko wayefudusela uYekoniya unyana kaYehoyakim, ukumkani wakwaYuda, eYerusalem esiya eBhabhilon, kunye nabo bonke abanumzana bakwaYuda naseYerusalem,

²¹ewe, utsho uBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini ngempahla eseleyo endlwini kaBawo wethu, nasendlwini yokumkani wakwaYuda, naseYerusalem, ukuthi:

²²Iya kuthwalelwa eBhabhilon, ihlale khona kude kube yimini endiza kuyilanda ngayo, utsho uBawo wethu. Ndandule ndiyinyuse, ndiyibuyisele kule ndawo.
