uYeremiya 5
1Zityhutyheni izitrato zaseYerusalem; khanikhangele, yazini, nibugocagoce ububanzi bayo, ukuba nomfumana na, ukuba ukho na owenza okusesikweni, ofuna ukunyanisa; kwaye ndiya kukuxolela. 2Nokuba bangathi: “NgoYehova ophilayo! okunene bafunga ubuxoki. 3Yehova, ngaba amehlo akho akamiliselwe enyanisweni? Wababetha, ababi buhlungu; Wabatshabalalisa, abavuma ukohlwaywa; babenza lukhuni ubuso babo njengelitye; abavuma ukubuya. 4Ndathi ke mna, Ndilihlwempu; baziziyatha, ngokuba abayazi indlela kaYehova, nomthetho woThixo wabo. 5Ndiya kuya kumadoda amakhulu, ndithethe nawo; ngokuba bebeyazi indlela kaYehova, nomyalelo woThixo wabo; ke bona bayaphule idyokhwe, bawaqhawula amakhamandela; 6Ngako oko iya kubabulala ingonyama yehlathi, ibaqweqwedise nengcuka yangokuhlwa; Ingwe yolinda imizi yabo; bonke abaphuma khona baya kuqwengwa; ngokuba buninzi ubugwenxa babo namasikizi abo anda. 7Ndothini na ukukuxolela kulo mbandela? Oonyana bakho bandishiyile, bafunga abangethixo; 8Babefana namahashe atyetyisiweyo kwakusasa, elowo esukela umkakhe. 9Mandingaveleli na ke ngenxa yezo zinto? utsho uYehova, ungaphindezeli na ke umphefumlo wam ebantwini abanje? 10Nyukani ezindongeni zayo, nonakalise; kodwa akupheli; susa amacala ayo; ngokuba àbabakaYehova. 11Ngenxa yokuba inginizile indlu kaSirayeli nendlu kaYuda, utsho uYehova. 12Bamkhanyela uYehova, besithi, Akakho; kwaye akukho bubi buya kusihlela; asiyi kubona krele nandlala; 13abaprofeti baya kuba ngumoya, kungabikho lizwi kubo; kuya kwenziwa kubo. 14Ngako oko utsho uYehova, uThixo wemikhosi, ukuthi, Ekubeni ulithethileyo elo lizwi, yabona, ndiwenza umlilo amazwi omlomo wakho, naba bantu babe ziinkuni, ubadle. 15Yabonani, ndinizisela abantu bakude, nina bendlu kaSirayeli, utsho uYehova; luhlanga oluqinileyo, luhlanga oludala, luhlanga oluntetho ungayaziyo, ongayivayo ukuba luthetha ntoni na. 16Indlu yabo injengengcwaba elivulekileyo, bonke bephela bangamagorha. 17Luya kudla ukuvuna kwakho nesonka sakho, oluya kudliwa ngoonyana bakho neentombi zakho; liya kudla impahla yakho emfutshane neenkomo zakho; baya kudla izidiliya zakho nemikhiwane yakho; baya kuzidiliza ngekrele imizi yakho enqatyisiweyo, abakholose ngayo. 18Ke ngaloo mihla, utsho uYehova, andiyi kunitshabalalisa. 19Yaye ukuba nithi: “Kutheni uYehova, uThixo wethu, esenzela zonke ezi zinto? Wathi kubo, Njengokuba nindishiyile mna, nakhonza oothixo bolunye uhlanga ezweni lenu, niya kukhonza abasemzini ezweni elingelenu. 20Kuxeleni kwindlu kaYakobi, nikuxelele uYuda, nithi, 21Khanive, bantu bazizidenge, nani baswele ukuqonda; banamehlo, kodwa ababoni; baneendlebe, kodwa abeva; 22Anindoyiki na? utsho uYehova. Aniyi kungcangcazela na phambi kwam, mna ndayibeka intlabathi elunxwemeni lolwandle, ngomthetho ongunaphakade, ukuba ningaweleki kuwo? ukuba zithe zigquma, aziyi kucanda na khona? 23Ke aba bantu banentliziyo eneenkani, eneenkani; baphakame bahamba. 24Bakuthi ezintliziyweni zabo, Masimoyike uYehova uThixo wethu, oninisa imvula yokuqala neyokugqibela ngexesha lakhe; Usigcinela iiveki ezimisiweyo zokuvuna. 25Ubugwenxa benu bunilahlekisile kwezo zinto, nezono zenu zinilukuhlileyo kokulungileyo. 26Kuba phakathi kwabantu bam kufunyanwa abantu abangendawo; babeka isibatha, babambisa abantu. 27Njengendlwane ezele ziintaka, izindlu zabo zizele yinkohliso; bathi bakukhula baba zizityebi. 28Bazizityebi, baqaqambileyo, ewe, bayigqithisele imisebenzi yabangendawo; kwaye abaligwebi ityala lehlwempu. 29Mandingaveleli na ke ngenxa yezo zinto? Wathi uYehova: Umphefumlo wam awuyi kuziphindezela na kolo hlanga? 30Kwenziwe into ekhwankqisayo neyamasikizi ehlabathini; 31Abaprofeti baprofeta ubuxoki, nababingeleli banobukhosi ngamandla abo; kwaye abantu bam bangathanda ukuba kube njalo; uya kwenza ntoni na ekupheleni kwayo?
