UJeremiya 49 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

49 ¹Mayela nama-Amon: utsho uBawo wethu ukuthi: USirayeli akanabo na oonyana, akanandlalifa na? Yini na ukuba uMilikom awuthimbe uGadi, bahlale abantu bakhe emizini yawo? ²Ngako oko, yabona, iza iimini, utsho uBawo wethu, endiza kuhlaba ngazo umkhosi wokulwa neRabha yama-Amon; iya kuba yimfumba esenkangala, nemizana yayo itshiswe ngomlilo. Aze uSirayeli awagqogqe lawo awamgqogqayo, utsho uBawo wethu. ³“Bhomboloza, Heshbon, kuba iAyi ibhuqiwe! Khalani, zintombi zaseRabha! Yambathani iingubo zokuzila, nenze isijwili; gijimani niye kubuya phakathi kweendonga, kuba uMilikom uya kuya ekuthinjweni, kunye nababingeleli bakhe neziphathamandla zakhe. ⁴Yini na ukuba uqhayise ngezihlambo zakho, ngesihlambo sakho esinenala, ntombi ephambayo—wena owawukholose ngobuncwane bakho, usithi, ‘Ngubani na onokundifikela?’” ⁵Yabona, ndiza kukuzisela unkwantyiso, utsho uBawo wemikhosi yasezulwini, uvela kubo bonke abakungqongileyo. Niya kugxothwa, elowo abaleke ngqo, kungabikho bani ubutha abasabileyo. ⁶Kodwa emva koko ndiya kukubuyisa ukuthinjwa kwama-Amon, utsho uBawo wethu.

UBawo wethu Uthoba Ukukhukhumala kwakwaEdom

⁷Mayela noEdom: utsho uBawo wethu wemikhosi yasezulwini ukuthi: Akusekho na bulumko eTeman? Liphelile na icebo kubanengqondo? Bubolile na ubulumko babo? ⁸“Balekani, buyani umva, zimeleni enzulwini, nina bahleli eDedan, kuba ndiza kuzisa intlekele phezu koEsawu ngexesha lokumohlwaya kwam. ⁹Ukuba abavuni beediliya bebefike kuwe, ngebengashiyanga na okuncinane okubhikicayo? Ukuba amasela afike ebusuku, ngebengebanga na kuphela oko bakufunayo? ¹⁰Kodwa mna ndimhlubile uEsawu waba ze; ndizityhilile iindawo zakhe zokuzimela, akanako ukuzifihla. Inzala yakhe itshabalele, nabazalwana bakhe nabamelwane bakhe, akasekho. ¹¹Shiya iinkedama zakho; ndiya kuziphilisa mna. Abahlolokazi bakho mabakholose ngam.”

¹²Utsho uBawo wethu ukuthi: Abo bangagwetyelwanga ukuba basele indebe nabo bayayisela—ingaba wena wosinda na? Hayi, uya kuyisela nawe. ¹³Kuba ndizifungile ngokwam, utsho uBawo wethu: iBhotsera iya kuba yinto yonkwantyiso, ihlazo, umwewe, nesiqalekiso, nayo yonke imizi yayo iya kuba ngamanxuwa angunaphakade. ¹⁴Ndivile isigidimi esivela kuBawo wethu: kuthunyelwe umthunywa phakathi kweentlanga ukuba athi, “Hlanganisanani niyilwele! Sukani niye kuyo imfazwe!” ¹⁵Yabona, ndiza kukwenza mncinane phakathi kweentlanga, ucekiswe phakathi kwabantu. ¹⁶Unkwantyiso owuvusayo nokukhukhumala kwentliziyo yakho kukulukuhlile, wena uhleli ezimfanteni zeliwa, obambe incopho yenduli. Nokuba uthe wayakha indlu yakho phezulu njengokhozi, ndiya kukuthoba usuke apho, utsho uBawo wethu. ¹⁷KwaEdom kuya kuba yinto yonkwantyiso; bonke abadlulayo baya kumangaliswa, bayitshekeze yonke imivumbo yakhe. ¹⁸Njengokuba yabhukuqwa iSodom neGomora, kunye nemizi ekufuphi nayo, utsho uBawo wethu, akuyi kuhlala mntu khona, akuyi kuhlala mntwana wabantu kuyo. ¹⁹“Njengengonyama enyuka evela emahlathini aseYordan isiya edlelweni elityebileyo, eluhlaza, ndiya kumgxotha ngesiquphe uEdom elizweni lakhe. Ngubani na onyuliweyo endiya kumbeka phezu kwalo? Ngokuba ngubani na onjengam, ngubani na onokundibiza? Nguwuphi na umalusi onokuma phambi kwam? ²⁰Ngako oko liveni icebo uBawo wethu alicebileyo ngokuchasene noEdom, neenjongo azicamangileyo ngokuchasene nabo bahleli eTeman: Namathole omhlambi aya kurhuqwa; inene idlelo labo liya kumangaliswa sisiphelo sabo. ²¹Ngesandi sokuwa kwabo uya kunyikima umhlaba; isandi sesikhalo sabo siya kuvakala eLwandle oluBomvu. ²²Khangela! Ukhozi luya kunyuka, lutshwebeleze, lwolule amaphiko alo phezu kweBhotsera. Ngaloo mini iintliziyo zamagorha akwaEdom ziya kuba njengentliziyo yomfazi onimbayo.”

UBawo wethu uzisa umgwebo phezu kweDamasko

²³“Ngokubhekisele kwiDamasko. IHamati neArpadi zidanile, ngokuba zivile iindaba ezimbi, zinyibilika kukoyika, zikhathazekile njengolwandle olungazolanga. ²⁴IDamasko ithe amandla; ijike yabaleka, ukunkwantya kuyibambile. Inkxwaleko neentlungu ziyibambile, njengentlungu yomfazi onimbayo. ²⁵Kwakutheni na ukuba ungashiywanga umzi wendumiso, isixeko endivuyiswa siso? ²⁶Inene amadodana ayo aya kuwa ezitratweni zayo; onke amasoldati ayo aya kuthuliswa ngaloo mini, utsho uBawo wethu wemikhosi yasezulwini. ²⁷Ndiya kuphemba umlilo ezindongeni zeDamasko; uya kuzidla iinqaba zikaBhen-hadade.”

UBawo wethu ugweba iKedare neHatsore

²⁸Ngokubhekisele kwiKedare nezikumkani zeHatsore, awazoyisayo uNebhukadenetsare ukumkani waseBhabhilon. Utsho uBawo wethu ukuthi: Vukani, lwani neKedare! Tshabalalisani abantu basempumalanga! ²⁹Iintente zabo nemfuyo yabo ziya kuthatyathwa—namalengalenga entente yabo nazo zonke izinto zabo. Iinkamela zabo ziya kuthwalwa zimkiswe, abantu baze bamemeze kubo besithi: “Uloyiko ngeenxa zonke!” ³⁰Balekani ngokukhawuleza! Zimeleni ezinzulwini, nina bahleli eHatsore, utsho uBawo wethu, kuba uNebhukadenetsare ukumkani waseBhabhilon ucebe icebo elichasene nani; ucamangele iqhinga elichasene nani. ³¹Vukani, lwani nohlanga oluhleli ngoxolo, oluhlala lukholosile, utsho uBawo wethu—uhlanga olungenamasango nemivalo, oluhlala lodwa. ³²Iinkamela zabo ziya kuba ngamaxhoba, nemfuyo yabo eninzi ibe lixhoba. Ndiya kubachithachithela kuyo yonke imimoya abo bachebe iimbombo zeenwele zabo, ndize ngeenxa zonke ndibazisele intlekele, utsho uBawo wethu. ^a a v32 Ukucheba iimbombo zeenwele ibilisiko elahlukileyo lezinye izizwe zama-Arabhu asentlango. ³³IHatsore iya kuba likhaya leempungutye, kube senkangala ngonaphakade. Akuyi kuhlala mntu khona, akukho mntu uya kuhlala kuyo.

UBawo wethu uchithachitha abuyise iElam

³⁴Ilizwi likaBawo wethu elafika kuYeremiya umprofeti ngokubhekisele kwiElam, ekuqaleni kokulawula kukaZedekiya ukumkani wakwaYuda:

³⁵Utsho uBawo wethu wemikhosi yasezulwini ukuthi: Ndiyasaphula isaphetha sakwaElam, umthombo wamandla abo. ³⁶Ndiya kuzisa phezu kweElam imimoya emine evela kwiimbombo ezine zezulu; ndibachithachithele kuyo yonke le mimoya, kungabikho luhlanga abangayi kuya kulo abagxothiweyo baseElam. ³⁷Ndiya kuwaqhekeza amaElam phambi kweentshaba zawo, phambi kwabo bafuna ukuwabulala. Ndiya kuzisa ububi phezu kwawo, umsindo wam ovuthayo, utsho uBawo wethu; ndiya kuwasukela ngekrele ndide ndiwagqibe. ³⁸Ndiya kumisa itrone yam kwaElam, nditshabalalise ukumkani wawo neziphathamandla zawo, utsho uBawo wethu. ³⁹Kodwa ngemihla ezayo ndiya kukubuyisa ukuthinjwa kwamaElam, utsho uBawo wethu.
