UJeremiya 3 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

3 ¹Bathi: Ukuba indoda ithe yamala umfazi wayo, waza yena wamshiya, wendela kwenye indoda, ingabuyela kuye kwakhona na? Belingayi kungcoliseka kuthi tu na elo lizwe? Wena uhenyuze nezithandani ezininzi—kanti ube uya kubuyela kum na? utsho uBawo wakho.

²Phakamisa amehlo akho emimangweni ebharhileyo, ukhangele: yeyiphi na indawo ongadlwengulwanga kuyo? Ngasendleleni ubuhleli ulindele izithandani, njengombhaduli entlango. Ulingcolisile ilizwe ngobuhenyu bakho nangenkohlakalo yakho. ³Ngoko ke imikhumezelo ivinjiwe, nemvula yasentwasahlobo ayifikanga. Kanti wena unobuso behenyukazi; uyala ukudana. ⁴Akuthanga na ngoku umemeze kum, usithi: ‘Bawo wam, wena ungumhlobo wobutsha bam’? ⁵“Uya kuhlala enomsindo ngonaphakade na? Uya kuyigcina ingqumbo yakhe kude kuse esiphelweni na?” Utsho ke wena, kodwa wenza bonke ububi onako.

Oodade Ababini Abalibala uBawo wabo

⁶UBawo wethu wathi kum ngemihla yokumkani uYosiya: “Uyibonile na into eyenziwe nguSirayeli ongathembekanga? Wenyuka waya kuzo zonke iinduli eziphakamileyo, phantsi kwayo yonke imithi eyandileyo, wahenyuza khona. ⁷Ndathi emva kokuba enze konke oku uya kubuyela kum, kodwa akabuyanga, waza wakubona oko udade wabo okhohlisayo uYuda. ⁸Wabona ukuba ngenxa yawo onke amakrexezo kaSirayeli ongathembekanga ndamndulula, ndamnika incwadi yokwahlukana. Kanti udade wabo okhohlisayo uYuda akoyikanga; waya naye wahenyuza. ⁹Kuba ubuhenyu bakhe bebuyinto engento kuye, walingcolisa ilizwe, ekrexeza namatye nemithi. ¹⁰Noko kunjalo, udade wabo ongathembekanga uYuda akabuyanga kum ngentliziyo yakhe yonke, koko ngokuzenzisa kuphela, utsho uBawo wakho.”

¹¹UBawo wethu wathi kum: USirayeli ongathembekanga ube lilungisa ngakumbi kunoYuda okhohlisayo.

¹²Hamba uye kuvakalisa ngasentla, usithi: Buya, Sirayeli ongathembekanga, utsho uBawo wakho. Andiyi kukhangela kuwe ndinomsindo, kuba ndinenceba, utsho uBawo wakho; andiyi kuhlala ndinomsindo ngonaphakade. ¹³Kuphela vuma ityala lakho—ukuba umvukele uBawo wakho, wachithela abasemzini uthando lwakho phantsi kwayo yonke imithi eyandileyo, ungazange uliphulaphule ilizwi lam, utsho uBawo wakho. ¹⁴Buyani, bantwana bangathembekanga, utsho uBawo wenu, kuba ndiyindoda yenu. Ndiya kunithabatha—omnye emzini nababini kusapho— ndinise eZiyon. ¹⁵Ndiya kuninika abalusi abangokwentliziyo yam, benondla ngokwazi nangengqondo.

¹⁶Xa senithe nanda naqhama ezweni, ngaloo mihla, utsho uBawo wenu, akusayi kubakho bani othi kwakhona: ‘Ityeya yomnqophiso kaBawo wethu.’ Ayisayi kuvela entliziyweni, ingakhunjulwa, ingafunwa, ingayi kubuya yenziwe enye.

¹⁷“Ngelo xesha baya kuyibiza iYerusalem ngokuba yiTrone kaBawo wethu, zithi zonke iintlanga zihlanganisane khona ukuze zihloniphe igama likaBawo wethu. Abasayi kuzilandela iintliziyo zabo ezinenkani, ezingendawo. ¹⁸Ngaloo mihla indlu kaYuda iya kuhlangana nendlu kaSirayeli, zize kunye zivela ezweni langasentla, ziye ezweni endalinika ooyihlo libe lilifa. ¹⁹Mna ngokwam ndathi: ‘Hayi, ngovuyo olungakanani endingakubeka ngalo phakathi kwabantwana bam, ndikunike ilizwe elimnandi, ilifa elihle kakhulu kunawo onke awezizwe!’ Ndaza ndathi uya kundibiza ngokuthi ‘Bawo wam’, ungaze ujike ekundilandeleni. ²⁰Kodwa njengomfazi ongathembekanga endodeni yakhe, ngokunjalo naningathembekanga kum, ndlu kaSirayeli, utsho uBawo wenu.

²¹Kuvakala ilizwi emimangweni ebharhileyo— ukulila nokutarhuzisa koonyana bakaSirayeli—ngenxa yokuba beyijikile indlela yabo, bamlibala uBawo wabo.

²²“Buyani, bantwana bangathembekanga; ndiya kukuphilisa ukungathembeki kwenu.” “Nazi thina, siza kuwe, kuba unguBawo wethu. ²³Inene intlokoma esezindulini nasezintabeni bubuxoki; inene kuBawo wethu kukho usindiso lukaSirayeli. ²⁴Kususela kwasebutsheni bethu laa nto eyihlazo isidlile isiqhamo somsebenzi woobawo bethu—impahla yabo emfutshane neenkomo zabo, oonyana babo neentombi zabo. ²⁵Masilale phantsi ehlazweni lethu, makusigubungele ukungcikiveka kwethu. Kuba sonile kuBawo wethu—thina noobawo bethu—kususela kwasebutsheni bethu unanamhla, yaye asiliphulaphulanga izwi likaBawo wethu.”
