UJeremiya 34 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

34 ¹Ilizwi elafika kuYeremiya livela kuBawo wethu, oko uNebhukadenetsare ukumkani waseBhabhilon, nawo wonke umkhosi wakhe, nazo zonke izikumkani awayezilawula, nazo zonke izizwe, babesilwa neYerusalem nayo yonke imizi yayo, lisithi:

²Utsho uBawo wethu kaSirayeli ukuthi: Hamba uye kuthetha noZedekiya ukumkani wakwaYuda, umxelele uthi: Utsho uBawo wethu ukuthi: Yabona, ndiwunikele lo mzi esandleni sokumkani waseBhabhilon; wowutshisa ngomlilo. ³Wena akuyi kusinda esandleni sakhe, kodwa inene uya kuthinjwa unikelwe kuye. Amehlo akho aya kubona amehlo okumkani waseBhabhilon, umlomo wakhe uthethe nomlomo wakho, uye eBhabhilon.

⁴Noko ke yiva ilizwi likaBawo wakho, Zedekiya, kumkani wakwaYuda: Utsho uBawo wethu ukuthi akuyi kufa ngekrele.

⁵Uya kufa unoxolo. Njengokuba babutshisa ubulawu kooyihlo, ookumkani abaphambi kwakho, baya kwenjenjalo ukubutshisela wena, bakumbambazelele, besithi: Yeha, nkosi! Ndithethile mna eli lizwi, utsho uBawo wakho.

⁶Wawathetha ke uYeremiya umprofeti onke la mazwi kuZedekiya ukumkani wakwaYuda eYerusalem, ⁷lo gama umkhosi wokumkani waseBhabhilon wawusilwa neYerusalem nayo yonke imizi eseleyo yakwaYuda, iLakishe neAzeka; kuba yiyo yodwa le mizi enqatyisiweyo eseleyo yakwaYuda.

UBawo Ugweba Umnqophiso Owaphulwayo

⁸Ilizwi elafika kuYeremiya livela kuBawo wethu, emveni kokuba ukumkani uZedekiya wenze umnqophiso nabantu bonke eYerusalem, evakalisa inkululeko kubo: ⁹ukuba elowo akhulule ikhoboka lakhe elingumHebhere nekhobokazana lakhe elingumHebherekazi, ukuze kungabikho namnye ukhonzisa umYuda ongowakowabo, umnakwabo. ¹⁰Baphulaphula bonke abathetheli nabantu abangena kuloo mnqophiso, elowo wakhulula ikhoboka lakhe nekhobokazana lakhe, bangabi sabagcina ebukhobokeni; baphulaphula ke, babakhulula. ¹¹Emveni koko babuya bajika, bawathabatha kwakhona amakhoboka namakhobokazana ababewakhulule, bawabuyisela ngenkani ebukhobokeni.

¹²Lafika ke ilizwi likaBawo wethu kuYeremiya, lisithi:

¹³Utsho uBawo wethu kaSirayeli ukuthi: “Mna ngokwam ndenza umnqophiso nooyihlo ngomhla endabakhuphayo ezweni laseYiputa, endlwini yobukhoboka, ndisithi: ¹⁴Ekupheleni kweminyaka esixhenxe, elowo makakhulule umnakwabo ongumHebhere othengiswe kuwe, waza wakukhonza iminyaka emithandathu; umkhulule aphume kuwe. Kodwa ke ooyihlo abandiphulaphulanga, abandibekelanga ndlebe. ¹⁵Nina niye nabuya kutsha nenza okulungileyo emehlweni am, elowo evakalisa inkululeko kummelwane wakhe, nenza umnqophiso phambi kwam endlwini ebizwa ngegama lam. ¹⁶Kodwa nabuya nalihlambela igama lam: elowo kuni wabuya wawathabatha amakhoboka namakhobokazana enabakhulule ukuba bahambe bekhululekile, nabanyanzelisa ebukhobokeni kwakhona.”

¹⁷Ngako oko utsho uBawo wethu ukuthi: “Anindiphulaphulanga ngokuvakalisa inkululeko, elowo kumnakwabo nakummelwane wakhe. Ngako oko ndinivakalisela inkululeko—utsho uBawo wakho—ekreleni, nakwisibetho, nasendlaleni; ndiya kunenza into eyothusayo kuzo zonke izikumkani zehlabathi. ¹⁸Ndiya kuwanikela amadoda awawaphulayo umnqophiso wam, angayigcinanga imimiselo yomnqophiso awawenza phambi kwam—njengethole elo abalityatya laba zizahlulo zibini, badlula phakathi kwezahlulo zalo. ^a a v18 Kwezo nkonzo zomnqophiso zamandulo, amaqela ayesithi ahambe phakathi kwezahlulo zesilwanyana esixheliweyo, enqwenelela loo siphelo kwawona ukuba athe awuwaphula umnqophiso. ¹⁹Abathetheli bakwaYuda nabaseYerusalem, abathetheli basekomkhulu, nababingeleli, nabantu bonke belizwe abadlula phakathi kwezahlulo zethole, ²⁰ndiya kubanikela ezandleni zeentshaba zabo, kwabo bafuna umphefumlo wabo. Izidumbu zabo ziya kuba kukudla kweentaka zezulu nokwamarhamncwa ehlabathini. ²¹UZedekiya ukumkani wakwaYuda nabathetheli bakhe ndiya kubanikela ezandleni zeentshaba zabo, kwabo bafuna umphefumlo wabo, nasemkhosini wokumkani waseBhabhilon omkileyo kuni. ²²Yabonani, ndiya kuwisa umthetho, utsho uBawo wakho, ukuba babuyele kulo mzi; baya kulwa nawo, bawuthimbe, bawutshise ngomlilo. Nayo imizi yakwaYuda ndiya kuyenza inkangala engenabani uhleliyo kuyo.”
