Bible

2Laselifika kimi ilizwi leNkosi lisithi: 2 Hamba uyememezela endlebeni zeJerusalema usithi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Ngiyakukhumbula, umusa wobutsha bakho,a uthando lokuganwa kwakho,b ukungilandela kwakho enkangala,c elizweni elingahlanyelwanga.d 3 UIsrayeli wayeyibungcwele eNkosini,e izithelo zokuqala zesivuno sayo;f bonke abamudlayo bazakuba lecala,g ububi buzabehlela,h itsho iNkosi. 4 Zwanini ilizwi leNkosi, ndlu kaJakobe, lensendo zonke zendlu kaIsrayeli.

5 Itsho njalo iNkosi: Yibubi bani oyihlo ababuthola kimi, ukuze baye khatshana lami,i balandelej okuyize,k babe yize?l m 6 Njalo kabatshongo ukuthi: Ingaphi iNkosi eyasenyusa elizweni leGibhithe,n eyasikhokhela enkangala,o elizweni elilamagwadulep lelilemigodi,q elizwenir lokoma,s lelethunzi lokufa,t elizweni umuntu angalidabulanga, lalapho okungahlalanga muntu khona? 7 Njalo ngaliletha elizweni elivundileyo,u ukuze lidle izithelo zalo lokuhle kwalo;v kodwa selingenile lalingcolisa ilizwe lami, lenza ilifa lami laba yisinengiso.w 8 Abapristi kabatshongo ukuthi: Ingaphi iNkosi? Lalabo abaphatha umlayo kabangazanga;x lababusi baphambuka bemelene lami;y labaprofethi baprofetha ngoBhali,z balandela izinto ezingasiziyo.a

9 Ngakho ngisezaphikisana lawe,b itsho iNkosi, njalo ngizaphikisana labantwana babantwana benu.c 10 Ngoba dlulelani ezihlengenid zeKhithimie libone, lithumele eKedari,f linakane kuhle, libone ukuthi kukhona into enjengale yini? 11 Isizwe sake santshintsha yini onkulunkulu baso,g abangeyisibo onkulunkulu?h Kodwa abantu bami bantshintshile uDumo lwaboi ngalokho okungasizi lutho.j 12 Mangalani kakhulu, mazulu,k ngalokhu, lethuke, lichitheke kakhulu, itsho iNkosi. 13 Ngoba abantu bami benzile izinto ezimbi ezimbili; bangidelilel m mina mthombon o wamanzi aphilayo,p ukuthi bazigebhele izikhongozelo, izikhongozelo ezidabukileyo, ezingegcine manzi.

14 UIsrayeli uyisigqili yini?q Kumbe esizelwe ekhaya yini?r Kungani waba yimpango? 15 Amabhongo ezilwane abhongele phezu kwakhe,s akhupha ilizwi lawo, enza ilizwe lakhe laba yincithakalo;t imizi yakhe itshisiweu ingelamhlali.v w 16 Futhi abantwana beNofix leThahaphanesiy badlele enkanda yakho. 17 Kawuzenzelanga lokhu yini,z ngokuthi udele iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho,a ngesikhathi ikukhokhela endleleni?b 18 Khathesi-ke ulani lendlela yeGibhithe,c ukuthi unathe amanzi eSihori?d Futhi ulani lendlela yeAsiriya,e ukuthi unathe amanzi omfula?f 19 Ububi bakho buzakulaya,g lokuhlehlela kwakho nyovane kuzakukhuza.h Ngakho yazi ubone ukuthi kuyinto embi lebabayoi ukuthi uyidelile iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho,j lokuthi ukungesaba kakukho kuwe, itsho iNkosi uJehova wamabandla.

20 Ngoba kwasendulo ngephula ijogwe lakho,k ngaqamula izibopho zakho;l wasusithi: Kangiyikukhonza; kodwa phezu kwalo lonke uqaqa oluphakemeyo langaphansi kwaso sonke isihlahla esiluhlazam n wazulazulao njengesifebe.p q 21 Kube kanti mina ngakuhlanyela,r ulivini elihle,s inhlanyelo ethembekileyo ngokupheleleyo. Pho, usuphenduke njani waba lugatsha olonakeleyo lwevini lemzini kimi?t 22 Ngoba lanxa ugezau ngesoda*,v uzithathele isepa enengi,w kanti ububi bakho bube lichatha phambi kwami,x itsho iNkosi uJehova. 23 Ungatsho njani ukuthi: Kangingcolanga,y kangilandelanga oBhali? Bona indlela yakho esigodini,z wazi ukuthi wenzeni, kamela elisikazi elilejubanea elizulazula ezindleleni zalo.b 24 Ungubabhemi wegangac d owejwayele inkangala, ophembela umoya enkanukweni yenhliziyo yakhe.e Ngubani ongamvimbela enkanukweni yakhe?f Bonke abamdingayo kabayikuzidinisa; ngenyanga yakhe bazamthola.g 25 Nqanda unyawo lwakho ekungabini ngolungelasicathulo,h lomphimbo wakho ekomeni;i kodwa wena wathi:j Kakulathemba;k hatshi; ngoba ngathanda abemzini,l njalo ngizabalandela. 26 Njengesela lilenhloni lapho selibanjiwe, ngokunjalo indlu kaIsrayeli ilenhloni, bona, amakhosi abo, iziphathamandla zabo, labapristi babo, labaprofethi babo,m 27 besithi esigodweni: Wena ungubaba; lelitsheni:n Wena wangizala. Ngoba baphendulele umhlana kimi, hatshi-ke ubuso; kodwa ngesikhathio sokuhlupheka kwabo bazakuthi: Sukuma, usisindise!p 28 Kodwa bangaphi onkulunkulu bakho ozenzele bona?q Kabasukume uba bengakusindisar ngesikhathi sobubi bakho;s ngoba njengenani lemizi yakho bangako onkulunkulu bakho, Juda.t 29 Liphikisanelani lami? Lonke liphambekile kimi,u itsho iNkosi. 30 Ngibatshayile abantwana benuv ngeze; kabemukelanga ukuqondiswa; inkemba yenu ibadlile abaprofethi benu,w njengesilwane esichithayo.

31 Wena sizukulwana,x lina bonani ilizwi leNkosi. Bengiyinkangala yini kuIsrayeli?y Kumbe ilizwe lobumnyama obunzima yini? Batsholoni abantu bami ukuthi: Sizulazulile;z kasisayikuza kuwe? 32 Intombi ingazikhohlwa yini iziceciso zayo, kumbe umakoti amabhanti akhe?a Kanti abantu bami bangikhohliwe insuku ezingelanani.b 33 Kungani ulungisa indlela yakho ekudingeni uthando?c Ngakho ubafundisile labo ababi izindlela zakho.d 34 Lezigqokweni zakho kutholakala igazi lemiphefumulo yabayanga abangelacala;e kawubatholanga befohlela phakathi, kodwa phezu kwakho konke lokhu. 35 Kanti wena uthi: Ngoba kangilacala, isibili intukuthelo yakhe izaphenduka isuke kimi. Khangela, ngizakwehlulelana lawe,f ngoba uthi: Kangonanga.g 36 Kungani uzulazula kangakah ukuntshintsha indlela yakho?i Uzayangiswa yiGibhithe layo,j njengoba wayangiswa yiAsiriya.k 37 Yebo, uzaphuma usuka lapha, lezandla zakho ziphezu kwekhanda lakho,l ngoba iNkosi iwalile amathemba akho, njalo kawuyikuphumelela ngawo.
