uYeremiya 4
1Sirayeli, ukuba uthe waguquka, utsho uYehova, zohlwaya ngenxa yam; 2Fungani nithi, NgoYehova ohleliyo, ngobulungisa, nangobulungisa; zaye iintlanga ziya kuzisikelela ngaye, ziqhayise ngaye. 3Kuba wathi uYehova kumadoda akwaYuda naseYerusalem, ‘Likhumbeni ilizwe elilinyiweyo, yaye ningahlwayeli emithaneni enameva. 4Namathelani kuYehova, yalusani ulwaluko lwentliziyo yenu, madoda akwaYuda, bemi baseYerusalem, ukuze umsindo wam ungapheli njengomlilo, uvuthe, kungabikho uwucimayo ngenxa yobubi bezinto zenu ezimbi izenzo. 5Xelela kumaYuda, uxelele iYerusalem; nithi, Vuthelani isigodlo elizweni; bizani, hlanganisani, nithi, Hlanganisani, singene emizini enqatyisiweyo. 6Phakamisani ibhanile eZiyon; buyani, musani ukulinda; ngokuba entla ndizisa ububi, nembubhiso enkulu. 7Ingonyama iwushiyile umngxunya wayo, kunduluke umonakalisi weentlanga; uyishiyile indawo yakhe, ukuze aliphanzise ilizwe lakho; nezixeko zakho ziya kuba ngamanxuwa, zingabi namnini. 8Bhinqani ngamarhonya, nilile nisenza isijwili, ngenxa yokuba umsindo kaYehova awujikanga kuthi. 9Kuya kuthi ngaloo mini, utsho uYehova, iphele intliziyo yokumkani nentliziyo yabathetheli; bathi manga ababingeleli, nabaprofeti bathi manga. 10Ndathi ke, Awu, Nkosi Yehova! Ngenene ululahlekisile olu hlanga neYerusalem ngokuthi: Niya kuba noxolo; xa ikrele lifika emoyeni. 11Ngelo xesha kuya kuthiwa kwaba bantu nakwiYerusalem, Umoya owomileyo encotsheni yentlango uyifikele intombi yabantu bam, ungavuthuzi, ungahlambululi; 12Kwanomoya onamandla uvela kwezo ndawo, uya kundifikela; nangoku ndiya kubagweba. 13Yabona, unyuka njengamafu, zinjengesaqhwithi iinqwelo zokulwa zawo; anamendu kunamaxhalanga amahashe awo. Yeha ke thina! ngokuba sibhuqiwe. 14Yihlambulule ububi intliziyo yakho, Yerusalem, ukuze usindiswe. Iingcinga zakho ezingenanto ziya kuhlala ixesha elingakanani kuwe? 15Kuba ilizwi liphuma kwaDan, livakalisa uyeha evela ezintabeni zakwaEfrayim. 16Xela iintlanga; Yabonani, vakalisani ngeYerusalem, nithi, Abalindi beza bevela ezweni elikude, bevakalisa ilizwi labo emizini yakwaYuda. 17Bachasene nayo yonke into, njengabalusi; ngokuba wakreqa kum, utsho uYehova. 18Indlela yakho neentlondi zakho zakuzisela ezo zinto; bububi bakho, ngokuba bukrakra, ngokuba bufike entliziyweni yakho. 19Mandla am, mathumbu am! Ndibuhlungu entliziyweni yam; Iyaxokozela intliziyo yam phakathi kwam; Andikwazi ukuthi cwaka, kuba usivile isandi sesigodlo, umoya wam, ukuhlaba umkhosi. 20Kuxelwa intshabalalo kantshabalalo; ngokuba ihlabathi liphela litshabalele; ngoko nangoko iintente zam zadilizwa kunye nekhethini zam ngomzuzwana. 21Kuya kude kube nini na ndibona ibhanile, ndisiva isandi sesigodlo? 22Kuba bamathile abantu bam, mna abandazi; ngoonyana abangenamandla, abangenangqondo; balumkile ekwenzeni ububi, kodwa ekwenzeni okulungileyo abaqondi. 23Ndalibona ihlabathi, nalo, lisenyanyeni, lisesikweni; nezulu, akwabakho kukhanya kulo. 24Ndazibona iintaba, nanzo zinyikima, neenduli zonke zinyikima. 25Ndakhangela, ndabona ukuba akukho mntu, neentaka zonke zezulu zibalekile. 26Ndakhangela, ndaza ndabona ilizwe elityebileyo linjengentlango, nezixeko zalo zonke zazitshatyalalisiwe phambi kobuso bukaYehova nangenxa yomsindo wakhe. 27Kuba utsho uYehova ukuthi: “Ilizwe lonke liya kuba yinkangala ephanzileyo; kodwa andiyi kukuphelisa. 28Ngenxa yoko ihlabathi liya kukhala, libe mnyama izulu phezulu; 29Isixeko sonke siyasaba ngenxa yesandi sabakhweli-mahashe nesabatoli; baya kungena emahlathini banyuke ematyeni; 30Ukuba uyeba, uya kuthini na? Nokuba uthe wayambetha ingubo emfusa, nokuba uthe wahomba ngezihombo zegolide, nokuba ubuqabe ubuso bakho ngepeyinti, uya kwenzelwa ilize; abakuthandayo baya kukucekisa, bafuna umphefumlo wakho. 31Ngokuba ndisivile izwi lomfazi onenimba, nenimba, kubuhlungu kuzala umntwana olizibulo, izwi lentombi enguZiyon, lidanduluka, izolulela izandla zayo, lisithi, Athi ke mna! ngokuba umphefumlo wam udinwe ngababulali.
