Izithembiso zokubuyiselwa lokwelatshwa (1-24)
30 Ilizwi likaJehova lafika kuJeremiya lathi:
2 “UJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi, ‘Wonke amazwi engizakutshela wona wabhale phansi encwadini.
3 Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova, “Ziyeza insuku lapho engizaqoqa khona abantu bami abathunjiweyo, abako-Israyeli labakoJuda,+ ngibalethe elizweni engalinika okhokho babo baphinde bahlale kulo,”+ kutsho uJehova.’”
4 Nanka amazwi uJehova awatshela abako-Israyeli labakoJuda.
5 UJehova uthi:
“Lizwe abantu bekhala beqhaqhazela;Bayesaba, akulakuthula.
6 Ngicela libuze ukuthi kulendoda eyake yabeletha yini.
Manje kungani ngibona wonke amadoda aqinileyo ebambe izisu zawoNjengowesifazana osebeletha?+
Kungani ubuso babo sebumhlophe?
7 Maye! Lolu kuzakuba lusuku olunzima.*+
Akukaze kube losuku olunjengalo,Yisikhathi sokuthi uJakhobe ehlelwe yibunzima,Kodwa uzakhululwa.”
8 “Ngalolosuku,” kutsho uJehova, “ngizakwephula ijogwe elisentanyeni yabo ngiqamule lemichilo ababotshwe ngayo. Abantu bezinye izizwe abasoze baphinde babenze izigqili.
9 Bazakhonza uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo njalo basebenzele inkosi yabo uDavida engizayibeka phezu kwabo.”+
10 “Kodwa wena nceku yami Jakhobe ungesabi,” kutsho uJehova,“Ungethuki wena Israyeli,+Ngoba ngizakusindisa ngikhatshana,Ngikhulule abantwabakho elizweni abathunjwa bahanjiswa kulo.+
UJakhobe uzabuyela ayehlala kuhle engesabi lutho,Akulamuntu ozamenza esabe.”+
11 UJehova uthi, “Ngilawe ukuze ngikusindise.
Ngizazitshabalalisa zonke izizwe engikuchithachithele kuzo;+Kodwa wena angisoze ngikutshabalalise.+
Ngizakulaya* ngendlela efaneleyo,Angisoze ngiyekele ukukujezisa.”+
12 Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova:
“Inxeba lakho alelapheki.+
Isilonda sakho asisoze siphole.
13 Akulamuntu ozakuncengela,Isilonda sakho aselapheki,Akulamuntu ozakusilisa.
14 Zonke izithandwa zakho sezikukhohliwe.+
Azisakudingi,Ngoba ngikuhlasele angathi ngiyisitha sakho,+Ngakujezisa njengomuntu olesihluku,Ngenxa yokuthi icala lakho likhulu lezono zakho zinengi.+
15 Kungani ukhaliswa linxeba lakho?
Ubuhlungu obuzwayo abupheli!
Ngikwehlisele lokhuNgenxa yokuthi icala lakho likhulu lezono zakho zinengi.+
16 Bonke abakutshabalalisayo bazatshabalala,+Zonke izitha zakho zizathunjwa.+
Bonke abakuhlaselayo bazahlaselwa.
Ngizakwenza bonke abathumba impahla yakho bathathelwe impahla yabo.”+
17 “Kodwa ngizakusilisa ngelaphe lamanxeba akho,”+ kutsho uJehova,“Lanxa bekubiza ngokuthi ungolahliweyo besithi:
‘UyiZiyoni engadingwa muntu.’”+
18 UJehova uthi:
“Ngizaqoqa abathunjiweyo abetende likaJakhobe,+Ngibe lesihawu ngamathabanikeli akhe.
Idolobho lizakwakhiwa eqaqeni elalivele lakhiwe kulo,+Lenqaba izakuma endaweni yayo efaneleyo.
19 Kubo kuzazwakala uhleko lezingoma zokubonga.+
Ngizabenza bande, bangabi balutshwana,+Ngizabenza babe banengi,*Bangabi yisizwe eseyisekayo.+
20 Amadodana akhe azaphumelela njengakudala,Isizwe sakhe sizakuma siqine phambi kwami.+
Ngizabajezisa bonke abamhlukuluzayo.+
21 Umkhokheli uzavela kuye,Umbusi avele phakathi kwezizukulwane zakhe.
Ngizamsondeza eduze, asondele kimi.”
“Nxa ngingenzanga njalo, ngubani ongaba lesibindi sokusondela kimi?” kutsho uJehova.
22 “Lizakuba ngabantu bami,+ mina ngibe nguNkulunkulu wenu.”+
23 Umoya wesiphepho sikaJehova uzavunguza ngolaka,+Uzavunguza ngamandla phezu kwekhanda lomuntu owenza okubi.
24 Ulaka lukaJehova oluvuthayo alusoze luphele,Aze agcwalise futhi enze lokho akuhlosileyo enhliziyweni yakhe.+
Ekucineni kwezinsuku lizakuzwisisa lokhu.+
