UJeremiya 33:1-26
33 Ilizwi likaJehova lafika kuJeremiya okwesibili ngesikhathi elokhu evalelwe egumeni labalindi,+ lathi:
2 “Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova owenza umhlaba, uJehova owawubumbayo wawumisa waqina, yena obizwa ngokuthi nguJehova, uthi,
3 ‘Ngibizani mina ngizaliphendula, ngihle ngilitshele izinto ezimangalisayo lezingazwisisekiyo ebelingazazi.’”+
4 “Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ngezindlu ezisedolobheni leli lezindlu zamakhosi akoJuda, ezidilizwe ngesikhathi idolobho livinjezelwe futhi lihlaselwa ngenkemba.+
5 Nanku akutshoyo ngabantu abayakulwa lamaKhaledi, begcwalisa izindawo lezi ngezidumbu zalabo engibabuleleyo ngenxa yentukuthelo yami lolaka lwami, labo abenze okubi babangela ukuthi ngingalikhangeli idolobho leli, uthi:
6 ‘Ngizabelapha baqine.+ Ngizabasilisa ngibaphe ukuthula okukhulu leqiniso.+
7 Ngizaletha abathunjiweyo bakoJuda labako-Israyeli,+ ngibakhe njengalokho engakwenza ekuqaliseni.+
8 Ngizabahlambulula kuzo zonke izono zabo abazenze kimi,+ ngibathethelele zonke izono zabo leziphambeko zabo.+
9 Ibizo leJerusalema lizakwenza ngithokoze kakhulu. Lizakwenza ukuthi zonke izizwe ezisemhlabeni ezizakuzwa ngakho konke okuhle engikwenzele abantu bami+ zingidumise futhi zingikhazimulise. Zizakwesaba ziqhuqhe+ ngenxa yakho konke okuhle engikwenzele abantu bami kanye lokuthula engibanike khona.’”+
10 “Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova: ‘Endaweni le elithi isiyinkangala engelamuntu loba isifuyo, emadolobheni akoJuda angasahlali muntu lasemigwaqweni yeJerusalema engelabantu loba izifuyo, kuzaphinda kuzwakale
11 umsindo wokuthokoza lokujabula,+ lelizwi lomyeni lelikamakoti lelalabo abathi: “Bongani uJehova wamabutho ngoba uJehova muhle.+ Uthando lwakhe oluqotho luhlala kuze kube nini lanini!”’+
“‘Bazaletha iminikelo yokubonga endlini kaJehova,+ ngoba ngizaphendukisa abathunjiweyo bazohlala elizweni leli njengoba kwakunjalo ekuqaleni,’ kutsho uJehova.”
12 “UJehova wamabutho uthi: ‘Elizweni leli eliyinkangala engelamuntu loba isifuyo, lakuwo wonke amadolobho alo kuzaphinda kube lamadlelo lapho abelusi abazakwelusela khona imihlambi yabo.’+
13 “‘Emadolobheni asezintabeni, lasemadolobheni asezindaweni eziphansi, lasemadolobheni aseningizimu, elizweni lakoBhenjamini, lasezindaweni ezisemangweni weJerusalema,+ lasemadolobheni akoJuda,+ imihlambi izaphinda idlule ngaphansi kwesandla salowo oyibalayo,’ kutsho uJehova.”
14 “UJehova uthi, ‘Ziyeza insuku lapho engizagcwalisa khona isithembiso esihle engasenzayo mayelana labako-Israyeli labakoJuda.+
15 Ngalezonsuku langalesosikhathi ngizahlumisela uDavida ihlumela elihle*+ futhi lizakwahlulela kuhle, lenze okulungileyo elizweni.+
16 Ngensuku lezo abakoJuda bazasindiswa+ njalo abantu beJerusalema bazahlala bevikelekile.+ IJerusalema izabizwa ngebizo elitsho ukuthi uJehova uyikulunga kwethu.’”+
17 “Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova: ‘Akusoze kuswelakale umuntu wosendo lukaDavida ozahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sako-Israyeli.+
18 Lakubaphristi abangamaLevi akusoze kuswelakale umuntu ozakuma phambi kwami ukuze anikele iminikelo yokutshiswa egcweleyo, atshise leminikelo yamabele kanye lemihlatshelo.’”
19 Ilizwi likaJehova laphinda lafika kuJeremiya lathi:
20 “Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova, ‘Njengoba nje lingeke lenelise ukwephula isivumelwano engasenza lelanga, lesivumelwano engasenza lobusuku, lenze ukuthi kungabi lelanga kumbe ubusuku ngesikhathi esifaneleyo,+
21 ngeke lenelise ukwephula isivumelwano engasenza lenceku yami uDavida,+ lenze ukuthi kungabi lendodana yakhe ezahlala esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi ibuse.+ Alisoze lenelise lokwephula isivumelwano sami labaphristi abangamaLevi, abenza inkonzo engcwele phambi kwami.+
22 Njengoba nje ibutho elisemazulwini* lingeke libalwe, letshebetshebe eselwandle ingeke ilinganiswe, ngizazandisa zibe njalo izizukulwane zenceku yami uDavida kanye lamaLevi enza inkonzo engcwele phambi kwami.’”
23 Ilizwi likaJehova laphinda lafika kuJeremiya lathi:
24 “Uyabezwa yini abantu laba abathi, ‘UJehova uzazilahla imuli ezimbili ayezikhethile’? Beyisa abantu bami njalo abababoni beyisizwe.
25 “UJehova uthi: ‘Njengoba nje ngenza isivumelwano esiqinileyo lelanga lobusuku+ ngabeka lemithetho eqondisa amazulu lomhlaba,+
26 angisoze ngizilahle izizukulwane zikaJakhobe lezenceku yami uDavida, ngenze ukuthi kuswelakale abosendo lwakhe abazabusa izizukulwane zika-Abrahama lo-Isaka loJakhobe. Ngizaqoqa abathunjiweyo+ babo ngibe lesihawu kubo.’”+
