Jeremiya 3
1Bathi: “Uma indoda ilahla umkayo, bese emlahla, abe ngowenye indoda, ingabe isabuyela kuye na? ngeke yini lowo mhlaba ungcoliswe kakhulu? kepha wena ufebile nezithandwa eziningi; buyelani kimi,” usho uJehova.
2Phakamisela amehlo akho ezindaweni eziphakemeyo, ubone lapho ongazange ube namanga khona. Wahlala phansi ngenxa yabo ezindleleni njengomArabiya ehlane; futhi ulingcolisile izwe ngobufebe bakho nangobubi bakho.
3Ngakho izihlambi zanqandwa, akubangakho mvula yamuva; futhi wawunebunzi lesifebe, wala ukuba namahloni.
4Kawuyikungibiza yini kusukela khathesi, uthi: Baba, ungumkhokheli wobutsha bami?
5Uyakugcina intukuthelo yakhe kuze kube phakade na? uyohlala kuze kube sekupheleni? Bheka, ukhulumile futhi wenza okubi njengoba ubungakwenza.
6INkosi yasisithi kimi emihleni yenkosi uJosiya: Ubonile yini akwenzileyo umchasi uIsrayeli? wakhwela phezu kwazo zonke izintaba eziphakemeyo naphansi kwayo yonke imithi eluhlaza, wafeba khona.
7Ngathi emva kokwenza zonke lezi zinto: Phendukela kimi. Kodwa akabuyanga. Udadewabo okhohlisayo uJuda wakubona.
8Ngabona, lapho mina, ngenxa yazo zonke izihlubuki u-Israyeli aphinge ngazo, ngamlahla, ngamnika incwadi yesahlukaniso; kepha udadewabo okhohlisayo uJuda akesabanga, kepha wahamba wafeba naye.
9Kwasekusithi ngobubi bobufebe balo, langcolisa ilizwe, laphinga lamatshe langezinduku.
10Kodwa ngenxa yakho konke lokhu udadewabo okhohlisayo uJuda akabuyelanga kimi ngenhliziyo yakhe yonke, kodwa ngenkohliso, usho uJehova.
11UJehova wathi kimi: “U-Israyeli ohlubukayo wazibonakalisa elungile kunoJuda ongathembekile.
12Hamba umemeze lawa mazwi enyakatho, uthi: ‘Buya, Israyeli onengeka,’ usho uJehova; futhi ngeke ngivumele intukuthelo yami ikwehlele phezu kwenu; ngoba ngilesihawu, kutsho uJehova, njalo kangiyikugcina intukuthelo kuze kube nininini.
13Vuma kuphela ububi bakho, ukuthi weqe kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho, wahlakaza izindlela zakho kwabafokazi phansi kwayo yonke imithi eluhlaza, anililalelanga izwi lami, usho uJehova.
14Phendukani nina bantwana bahlukumezi, usho uJehova; ngoba nginigane, futhi ngizonithatha abe munye emzini nababili emndenini, nginiyise eSiyoni.
15Ngiyakuninika abelusi benhliziyo yami, abaniklame ngolwazi nangokuqondisisa.
16Uma nanda, nande ezweni ngalezo zinsuku,” usho uJehova, “bangabe besasho ukuthi: ‘Umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova; futhi akuyikungena emiqondweni yabo; khumbula lokho; futhi bangase bangayivakashi; futhi kayisayikwenziwa.
17Ngaleso sikhathi bayobiza iJerusalema ngokuthi isihlalo sobukhosi sikaJehova; zonke izizwe ziyakubuthelwa khona ngenxa yegama likaJehova eJerusalema; futhi ngeke besahamba ngobuqili benhliziyo yabo embi.
18Ngalezo zinsuku indlu yakwaJuda iyohamba nendlu ka-Israyeli, futhi bayohlangana ndawonye besuka ezweni lasenyakatho baye ezweni engalinika okhokho benu njengefa.
19Kodwa ngathi: Ngizakubeka njani phakathi kwabantwana, ngikunike ilizwe elihle, ilifa elihle elivela emaviyweni ezizwe? futhi ngathi: Kumelwe ningibize ngokuthi ubaba; njalo kayikusuka kimi.
20Impela, njengokungathi umfazi eshiya umyeni wakhe ngokungathembeki, kanjalo nenzé ubuphambeko kimi nina ndlu ka-Israyeli,” usho uJehova.
21Kwezwakala izwi ezindaweni eziphakemeyo, ukukhala nokunxusa kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ngokuba babephambukile indlela yabo, bamkhohlwa uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo.
22Buyani, nina bantwana abahlubukayo, ngizakwelapha iziphambeko zenu. Bheka, siyeza kuwe; ngoba wena unguJehova uNkulunkulu wethu.
23Ngempela, insindiso ithenjwa ize evela emagqumeni nasebuningini bezintaba; ngempela, ikuJehova uNkulunkulu wethu ukusindiswa kuka-Israyeli.
24Ngokuba ihlazo liwuqedile umshikashika wawobaba kwasebusheni bethu; izimvu zabo, nezinkomo zabo, namadodana abo namadodakazi abo.
25Silala phansi sinamahloni, ihlazo lethu lisibekele; ngokuba sonile kuJehova uNkulunkulu wethu, thina nawobaba, kusukela ebusheni bethu kuze kube namuhla, asililalelanga izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu wethu.
