UJeremiya 32 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

32 ¹Ilizwi elafika kuYeremiya livela kuBawo wethu ngomnyaka weshumi wokumkani uZedekiya wakwaYuda, ongumnyaka weshumi elinesibhozo kaNebhukadenetsare. ²Ngelo xesha umkhosi waseBhabhilon wawungqinga iYerusalem, uYeremiya umprofeti wayevalelwe entendelezweni yabalindi kwindlu yokumkani wakwaYuda.

³Kaloku uZedekiya ukumkani wakwaYuda wayemvalele, esithi: Kutheni le nto uprofeta usithi: “Utsho uBawo wethu ukuthi: Khangela, ndiza kuwunikela lo mzi esandleni sokumkani waseBhabhilon, awuthimbe;

⁴“UZedekiya ukumkani wakwaYuda akayi kusinda esandleni samaBhabhilon; inene uya kunikwa esandleni sokumkani waseBhabhilon, athethe naye umlomo ngomlomo, ambone iliso ngeliso. ⁵Uya kumsa uZedekiya eBhabhilon, ahlale khona ndide ndimvelele, utsho uBawo wethu. Nangona nisilwa namaBhabhilon, aniyi kuphumelela.”

⁶Wathi uYeremiya: Lafika kum ilizwi likaBawo wethu, lisithi:

⁷Khangela, uHanameli unyana kaShalum, uyisekazi wakho, uza kuwe, athi: Thenga intsimi yam eseAnatoti, kuba lelakho ilungelo lentlawulelo lokuyithenga.

⁸Weza ke uHanameli unyana kayisekazi wam kum entendelezweni yabalindi, njengoko watshoyo uBawo wethu, wathi kum: Thenga intsimi yam eseAnatoti kwelakwaBhenjamin, kuba lelakho ilungelo lelifa, yeyakho nentlawulelo; yithenge. Ndaza ndazi ukuba lilizwi likaBawo wethu eli.

⁹Ndayithenga ke intsimi eseAnatoti kuHanameli unyana kayisekazi wam, ndamlinganisela isilivere emalunga neeawunsi ezisixhenxe. ¹⁰Ndabhala incwadi yentengo ndayitywina, ndabiza amangqina, ndayilinganisa imali esikalini. ¹¹Ndathabatha ke incwadi yentengo etywiniweyo, enemithetho nemimiselo yayo, nempinda evulekileyo, ¹²ndayinika incwadi yentengo uBharuki unyana kaNeriya, unyana kaMaseya, phambi koHanameli unyana kayisekazi wam, naphambi kwamangqina awayisayinayo, naphambi kwawo onke amaYuda awayehleli entendelezweni yabalindi.

¹³Ndaza ndamwisela umthetho uBharuki phambi kwabo, ndathi:

¹⁴“Utsho uBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini, uBawo wethu wakwaSirayeli, ukuthi: Thabatha ezi ncwadi—incwadi yentengo etywiniweyo nencwadi evulekileyo—uzifake empahleni yomdongwe, ukuze zihlale ixesha elide. ¹⁵Kuba utsho uBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini, uBawo wethu wakwaSirayeli, ukuthi: Baya kubuya bathenge izindlu, namasimi, nezidiliya kweli lizwe.”

Umthandazo kaYeremiya: Akukho Nto Inzima Kuwe

¹⁶Emva kokuba ndiyinikele incwadi yentengo uBharuki unyana kaNeriya, ndathandaza kuBawo wethu, ndathi: ¹⁷“Owu, Nkosi Bawo! Wena ngokwakho wenza izulu nomhlaba ngamandla akho amakhulu nangengalo yakho eyolukileyo; akukho nto inzima kuwe. ¹⁸Uwenzela inceba amawaka, kodwa ubuyisela ityala looyise esifubeni soonyana babo emva kwabo—Bawo omkhulu, onamandla, uBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini ligama lakhe. ¹⁹Omkhulu ngececbo, onamandla ngezenzo, amehlo akho avulekele zonke iindlela zabantu, ubuyisela elowo ngokweendlela zakhe, ngokweziqhamo zezenzo zakhe. ²⁰Wena wenza imiqondiso nezimanga eYiputa, kude kube namhla kwaSirayeli naphakathi kwabantu, wazenzela igama, njengoko kunjalo namhla. ²¹Wabakhupha abantu bakho amaSirayeli ezweni laseYiputa ngemiqondiso, nangezimanga, nangesandla esithe nkqi, nangengalo eyolukileyo, nangokoyikeka okukhulu. ²²Wabanika eli lizwe owalifungela ooyise ukubanika lona—ilizwe elibaleka amasi nobusi. ²³Bangena balithabatha, kodwa abaliphulaphula izwi lakho, abahamba emthethweni wakho; konke owabawisela umthetho ukuba bakwenze, abakwenzanga. Ngoko ke ubazisele bonke obu bubi. ²⁴Iindunduma zokungqinga zifikile emzini ukuba uthinjwe; unikelwe kumaBhabhilon alwa nawo, ngenxa yekrele, nendlala, nendyikitya yokufa. Oko ukuthethileyo kwenzekile—uyakubona. ²⁵Kodwa wena, Nkosi Bawo, uthe: ‘Thenga intsimi ngemali, ubize amangqina’—nangona lo mzi unikelwe kumaBhabhilon.”

²⁶Laza lafika ilizwi likaBawo wethu kuYeremiya, lisithi:

²⁷“NdinguBawo wayo yonke inyama. Ikho na into enzima kum? ²⁸Ngako oko utsho uBawo wethu ukuthi: Ndiza kuwunikela lo mzi kumaBhabhilon, kukumkani waseBhabhilon uNebhukadenetsare, awuthimbe. ²⁹AmaBhabhilon alwa nalo mzi aya kuza, awutshise ngomlilo, nezindlu apho abantu babeqhumisela khona kuBhahali phezu kophahla lwazo, baphalazela oothixo bambi iminikelo ethululwayo, bendiqumbisa.

³⁰“Oonyana bakaSirayeli noonyana bakaYuda benza okubi kodwa emehlweni am kwasebuncinaneni babo; amaSirayeli andiqumbisa kuphela ngomsebenzi wezandla zawo, utsho uBawo wethu.

³¹“Lo mzi uwuqumbisile umsindo wam nengqumbo yam, kususela kwimini owakhiwa ngayo kuza kuthi ga ngoku, ngoko ndiya kuwususa ebusweni bam, ³²ngenxa yabo bonke ububi oonyana bakaSirayeli noonyana bakaYuda abandenzela bona ukuba bandiqumbise—bona, nookumkani babo, nabaphathi babo, nababingeleli babo, nabaprofeti babo, namadoda akwaYuda, nabemi baseYerusalem. ³³Bandifulathela, abandijonga ngobuso. Nangona ndabafundisa ndaphinda ndabafundisa, bala ukuphulaphula nokwamkela isohlwayo. ³⁴Bamisa amasikizi abo endlwini ebizwa ngegama lam, ukuze bayenze inqambi. ³⁵Bakha iziganga zikaBhahali entilini yoonyana bakaHinom, ukuze banikele oonyana babo neentombi zabo kuMoleki—into endingazange ndiyiwise mthetho, endingazange ndiyicinge, ukuba bangalenza eli sikizi, benze ukuba uYuda one.”

Baya Kuba Ngabantwana Bam; Ndiya Kuba Nguyise

³⁶“Ngoko ke utsho uBawo wethu wakwaSirayeli ngalo mzi, enithi unikelwe esandleni sokumkani waseBhabhilon ngekrele, nangendlala, nangendyikitya yokufa, ukuthi:

³⁷“Ndiya kubabutha bevela kuwo onke amazwe endabagxothela kuwo ngomsindo wam, nangobushushu bam, nangengqumbo enkulu, ndibabuyisele kule ndawo, ndibahlalise bekholosile. ³⁸Baya kuba ngabantwana bam, ndibe nguBawo wabo. ³⁹Ndiya kubanika intliziyo enye nendlela enye, ukuze bandoyike ngamaxesha onke—kube kokulungileyo kubo nakoonyana babo emva kwabo. ⁴⁰Ndiya kwenza umnqophiso ongunaphakade nabo, ndingayi kubuya kokubenzela okulungileyo; ndofaka uloyiko lwam ezintliziyweni zabo, ukuze bangabuyi bandifulathele. ⁴¹Ndiya kugcoba ngabo, ndibenzela okulungileyo, ndibatyale ngenene kweli lizwe, ngentliziyo yam yonke nangomphefumlo wam wonke.”

⁴²Kuba utsho uBawo wethu: “Njengoko ndibazisele bonke obu bubi bukhulu kwaba bantu, ndiya kwenjenjalo ukubazisela konke okulungileyo endikuthembisa ngako. ⁴³Baya kuthenga amasimi kweli lizwe enithi kusenkangala kulo, elingenamntu nankomo, elinikelwe esandleni samaBhabhiloni. ⁴⁴Baya kuthenga amasimi ngesilivere, kubhalwe iincwadi, zitywinwe, zingqinwe ngamangqina—ezweni lakwaBhenjamin, nakwiindawo ezijikeleze iYerusalem, nasemizini yakwaYuda, nasezintabeni, nasesihlanjeni, nakwelasezantsi—kuba ndiya kukubuyisa ukuthinjwa kwabo, utsho uBawo wethu.”
