UBawo Wethu Uyithoba iYiputa eKarkemishe

²NgeYiputa: ngokuchasene nempi kaFaro Neko ukumkani waseYiputa, eyayiseKarkemishe ngasemlanjeni ongumEfrati, awayixabelayo uNebhukadenetsare ukumkani waseBhabhilon ngomnyaka wesine kaYehoyakim unyana kaYosiya ukumkani wakwaYuda.

³“Lungisani amakhaka enu—amakhulu namancinane—nidlulele emfazweni! ⁴Bophelelani amahashe; khwelani, nina enikhwela amahashe! Yimani ezindaweni zenu ninxibe izigcinantloko zenu; lolani iintshuntshe, ambathani iingubo zentsimbi!’ ⁵Yini na ukuba ndikubone oku? Bothukile, babuya umva; amagorha abo oyisiwe. Basaba ngesiphithiphithi, bengakhangeli emva—unkwantyiso ngeenxa zonke! utsho uBawo wethu. ⁶‘Imbaleki ayinakusaba, kananjalo igorha alinakusinda. Ngasentla, ngasemlanjeni ongumEfrati, bayakhubeka, bawe. ⁷Ngubani na lo, onyuka njengeNayile, njengemilambo amanzi ayo agubhayo?”

⁸IYiputa inyuka njengeNayile, njengemilambo amanzi ayo agubhayo. Ithi: “Ndiya kunyuka, ndiligubungele ihlabathi; ndiya kuyitshabalalisa imizi nabemi bayo.” ⁹Gqabhukani, nina mahashe! Ngxamani ngokushushu, nina nqwelo zokulwa! Phumani, nina magorha— amaKushi noPuti abaphatha ikhaka, amaLudi abaphatha isaphetha, basigobe. ¹⁰Loo mini yekaBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini, imini yobulungisa, yokwenza ubulungisa kwiintshaba zakhe. Ikrele liya kudla lide lihluthe, laneliswe ligazi labo; kuba kukho umbingelelo kaBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini ezweni langasentla, ngasemlanjeni ongumEfrati. ^a a v10 Idabi lifaniswa nombingelelo uBawo wethu awenzayo—iintshaba ezibuleweyo ngumnikelo. ¹¹Nyuka uye eGiliyadi uthabathe intlaka emhlophe, ntombi eyintombi yaseYiputa! Ungazifumba izinto zokuphilisa, kodwa akukho kuphiliswa kuwe. ¹²Iintlanga zilivile ihlazo lakho, nesikhalo sakho sizalisa ihlabathi; kuba igorha likhubeka kwelinye igorha, bawe bobabini kunye.

¹³Ilizwi awalithethayo uBawo wethu kuYeremiya umprofeti, elingokuza kukaNebhukadenetsare ukumkani waseBhabhilon ukuza kulixabela ilizwe laseYiputa:

¹⁴Kuxeleni eYiputa, nikuvakalise eMigidoli; nikuvakalise eMemfis naseTahapanesi. Yithini: “Yimani ezindaweni zenu nizilungiselele, kuba ikrele lidla ngeenxa zonke kuni.”

¹⁵Yini na ukuba amagorha akho akhukuliswe? Akubanga nako ukuma, kuba uBawo wethu uwasunduzele phantsi. ¹⁶Wabakhubekisa abaninzi; ewe, bawela omnye komnye. Bathi: “Vukani! Masibuyele ebantwini bakowethu, ezweni esazalelwa kulo, sisuke phambi kwekrele elicinezelayo.” ¹⁷Bakhala khona, bathi: “UFaro ukumkani waseYiputa yingxolo nje; uliyekile ixesha elimisiweyo ladlula.” ¹⁸Ndihleli nje mna, utsho uKumkani, ogama linguBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini, kuya kuza othile enjengeTabhore phakathi kweentaba, enjengeKarmele ngaselwandle. ^b b v18 ITabhore neKarmele yaba ziincopho ezimbini zakwaSirayeli ezibalaseleyo nezingenakuphoswa—lo mfaniso ufanisa umoyisi ophakamileyo ongenakunqandwa. ¹⁹Zilungiselele impahla yokuthinjwa, ntombi yaseYiputa, wena uhleli ukholosile! Kuba iMemfis iya kuba senkangala, ibe linxuwa elingenabemi.

²⁰“iYiputa lithokazi elihle, kodwa impukane ehlabayo evela ngasentla iza kuyo. ²¹Kwanamasoldati ayo aqeshiweyo aphakathi kwayo anjengamathole atyetyisiweyo; nawo ajika asaba ndawonye, engenako ukuma, ngokuba umhla wokusindeka kwawo ufikile phezu kwawo, ixesha lokohlwaywa kwawo. ²²iYiputa ifutha okwenyoka ebalekayo njengoko utshaba lusondela ngamandla; beza kuyo ngamazembe, njengabathezi beenkuni.’ ²³Baya kugawula ihlathi layo, utsho uBawo wethu, nangona lishinyene, ngokuba baninzi kuneenkumbi; abanakubalwa. ²⁴Intombi yaseYiputa iya kudaniswa, inikwe ebantwini abaphuma ngasentla.”

²⁵“uBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini, uBawo wethu kaSirayeli, uthi: ‘Ndiza kumohlwaya uAmon uthixo waseThebhe, noFaro, neYiputa, noothixo bayo nookumkani bayo—uFaro nabo bonke abakholose ngaye.’ ²⁶Ndiya kubanikela kwabo bafuna ubomi babo—kuNebhukadenezare ukumkani waseBhabhilon nabaphathi bakhe. Emva koko iYiputa iya kubuya imiwe njengakuqala, utsho uBawo wethu.

²⁷“Ke wena, musa ukoyika, Yakobi mkhonzi wam; musa ukukhwankqiswa, Sirayeli. Ngokuba ndiza kukusindisa usuka kude, nabantwana bakho ezweni lokuthinjwa kwabo. UYakobi uya kubuya, azole, aphumle, kungabikho umoyikisayo. ²⁸Musa ukoyika, Yakobi mkhonzi wam, utsho uBawo wakho, ngokuba ndinawe. Nangona ndikutshabalalisa ngokupheleleyo zonke iintlanga endikugxothele kuzo, andiyi kukutshabalalisa ngokupheleleyo wena. Ndiya kukuqeqesha ngobulungisa; andisayi kukwenza omsulwa ngokupheleleyo.”
