Ilizwi leNkosi mayelana lembalela
14Ilizwi leNkosi elafika kuJeremiya mayelana lendaba zembalela. 2 UJuda uyalila, lamasango akhe adangele; amnyama kuze kube semhlabathini, lokukhala kweJerusalema kwenyukile. 3 Njalo izikhulu zakhe zithuma abancinyane bazo emanzini; bafika emithonjeni, bangatholi manzi; babuyele inkonxa zabo zingelalutho, belenhloni, beyangekile, bembomboze ikhanda labo. 4 Ngoba umhlabathi udabukile, ngoba kungekho izulu elizweni, abalimi balenhloni, bambomboza ikhanda labo. 5 Yebo impala layo iyazala egangeni, ikutshiye, ngoba kungelatshani. 6 Labobabhemi beganga bayema emadundulwini, baphembele umoyaa njengemigobho;b amehlo abo ayaphela, ngoba kungelatshani.
7 Lanxa izono zethu zifakaza zimelana lathi, Nkosi, yenza ngenxa yebizo lakhoc; ngoba ukuhlehlela nyovane kwethu kunengid, sonile kuwee. 8 Wena themba likaIsrayeli, uMsindisi wakhe ngesikhathi sembandezelo, kungani uzakuba njengowezizweni elizwenif, lanjengesihambi esiphambukela eceleni ukulala ubusukug? 9 Kungani uzakuba njengomuntu odidekileyo, njengeqhawe elingelakusindisah. Kanti wena uphakathi kwethu, Nkosi, lebizo lakho libizwe phezu kwethui; ungasitshiyij.
10 Itsho njalo iNkosi ngalababantu: Ngokunjalo bathanda ukuzula, kabazinqandanga inyawo zabo; ngakho iNkosi kayithokozi ngabok, khathesi izakhumbula ububi babo, izihambele izono zabol.
11 INkosi yasisithi kimi: Ungakhulekeli lababantum kube kuhlen. 12 Lapho bezila ukudla, kangiyikuzwa ukukhala kwaboo; lalapho benikela umnikelo wokutshiswa lomnikelo wokudla, kangiyikuthokoza ngabo; kodwa ngizabaqedap ngenkembaq langendlala langomatshayabhuqe wesifor. 13 Ngasengisithi: Hawu, Nkosi Jehova! Khangela, abaprofethi bathi kubo: Kaliyikubona inkemba, kaliyikuba lendlalas, kodwa ngizalinika ukuthula okuqinisekileyo kulindawot. 14 INkosi yasisithi kimi: Abaprofethi baprofetha amanga ngebizo lamiu. Kangibathumanga, njalo kangibalayanga, njalo kangikhulumanga kibo; baprofetha kini umbono wamangav, lokuhlahlula, lokuyizew, lenkohliso yenhliziyo yabox. 15 Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi mayelana labaprofethi abaprofetha ebizweni lami, ngoba mina ngingabathumangay, kanti bathiz: Inkemba lendlala kakuyikuba khona kulelilizwe: Ngenkemba langendlala labobaprofethi bazaqedwaa. 16 Labantu, abaprofetha kibo, bazakuba ngabaphoselwa ezitaladeni zeJerusalema ngenxa yendlala lenkemba; njalo kungekho obangcwabayob, bona, omkabo, lamadodana abo, lamadodakazi abo; ngoba ngizathululela ububi babo phezu kwabo.
17 Ngakho uzakutsho lelilizwi kibo elokuthi: Amehlo ami kawehlise inyembezi ebusuku leminic, zingakhawulid, ngoba intombi emsulwa yabantu bami yephukile ngokwephuka okukhulue, ukutshaywa okubuhlungu kakhuluf. 18 Uba ngiphumela emaphandleni, khangela-ke, ababulewe ngenkembag. Njalo uba ngingena emzini, khangela-ke, abagulayo ngendlalah. Yebo, bobabili umprofethi lompristii babhodabhodaj elizweni kodwa bengazik.
19 Usumalile isibili uJuda yini? Umphefumulo wakho unengwa yiZiyoni yinil? Usitshayeleni njalo singabi lokwelatshwam? Salindela ukuthula, kodwa kakubanga lokuhlen; lesikhathi sokwelatshwa, kodwa khangela, uvaloo. 20 Siyazi, Nkosi, ukukhohlakala kwethu lobubi babobaba, ngoba sonile kuwep. 21 Ungasideleli, ngenxa yebizo lakhoq, ungayangisi isihlalo sobukhosi sodumo lwakho; khumbula, ungasephuli isivumelwano sakho lathir. 22 Kukhona yini phakathis kokuyize kwabezizwe okunganisa izulut? Kumbe amazulu anganika izihlambo yiniu? Akusuwe yini, Nkosi, Nkulunkulu wethu? Ngakho sizalindela kuwev; ngoba nguwe owenze zonke lezizintow.
