Izwi Lokunakekela uBharuki
Izwi elifushane eliyimfihlo likaBharuki, okhathele ngenxa yokubhala engatholi ukuphumula. Akatshelwa ukuthi usizi lwakhe luncane. Utshelwa ukuthi uBaba wethu uyasiphula lokho akutshala, ngakho uBharuki makangafuni izinto ezinkulu; impilo yakhe yiyo azoyigcina.
45 1Izwi uJeremiya umprofethi alikhuluma kuBharuki indodana kaNeriya, ngesikhathi ebhala la mazwi emqulwini njengoba uJeremiya ewakhuluma, ngonyaka wesine kaJehoyakimi indodana kaJosiya, inkosi yakwaJuda: 2Nakhu okushiwo uBaba wethu wakwa-Israyeli kuwe, Bharuki:
3Wathi: ‘Maye, ngisosizini! Ngokuba uBaba wethu wenezele usizi ebuhlungwini bami; ngikhathele ukububula, angitholi kuphumula.’
4Yithi kuye: Nakhu okushiwo uBaba wethu: Lokho engakwakha ngiyakudiliza, lokho engakutshala ngiyakusiphula—kulo lonke izwe. 5Wena-ke—uzifunela izinto ezinkulu na? Ungakwenzi lokho. Ngiletha inhlekelele phezu kwayo yonke inyama, kusho uBaba wethu, kodwa kuyo yonke indawo oya kuyo ngiyakukunika ukuphila kwakho kube yimpango. a a v5 “Ukuphila kwakho kube yimpango” kwakuyisisho senkundla yempi: ekubhujisweni okuzayo uBharuki wayeyophunyuka engenalutho ngaphandle kokuphila kwakhe—futhi lokho ngokwakho kwakuyisipho uBaba wethu athembisa ukusigcina.
