Jeremiya 15:1-21
15 Jehova wabese utsi kimi: “Ngisho nobe boMosi naSamuweli bebangema embikwami,+ bengingeke ngibentele umusa labantfu. Basuse lambikwami. Abahambe.
2 Nabakubuta batsi: ‘Sihambe siyephi?’ ubotsi kubo: ‘Jehova utsi:
“Nobe ngubani lofanelwe kubulawa sifo lesingumshayabhuce, asimbulale.
Nobe ngubani lofanelwe kufa ngenkemba, akabulawe ngayo.+
Nobe ngubani lofanelwe kubulawa yindlala, ayimbulale,Futsi nobe ngubani lofanelwe kutfunjwa, akatfunjwe.”’+
3 “Jehova utsi: ‘Ngitawubangela kutsi behlelwe tintfo letine letimbi.*+ Batawubulawa ngenkemba, tidvumbu tabo titawuhudvulwa tinja, futsi tinyoni temazulu netilwane tesiganga titawubadla tibacedze.+
4 Ngitawenta yonkhe imibuso lesemhlabeni yesabe nayibabona.+ Loku ngitakwenta ngenca yaloko Manase indvodzana yaHezekiya, inkhosi yakaJuda lakwenta eJerusalema.+
5 Awu Jerusalema, ngubani nje lotakuhawukela,Ngubani lotakuvela,Futsi ngubani lotawutsi nakendlula abute kutsi unjani?’
6 Jehova utsi: ‘Bangilahlile,+Bayachubeka nekungishiya.*+
Ngako ngitawelula sandla sami ngimelane nabo futsi ngibabhubhise.+
Sengidziniwe kubavela buhlungu.*
7 Ngitabahlunga njenganakweliwa kolo emagedeni akulelive.
Ngitawubulala bantfwana babo.+
Ngitababhubhisa bantfu bamiNgobe abafuni kuyekela imikhuba yabo.+
8 Ngitakwenta kutsi bafelokati bakulelive babe banyenti kakhulu kunesihlabatsi saselwandle.
Emini ngitawuletsa sitsa lesitobhubhisa kuze sihlasele bomake nemajaha.
Ngekushesha nje ngitawenta kutsi bakhatsateke futsi besabe kakhulu.
9 Umfati lonebantfwana labangu-7 sewuphelelwe ngemandla;Sewuphefumula kabuhlungu.
Nanobe kusesemini, yena ubona ngatsi sekumnyama,Uhlazekile futsi udliwa ngemahloni.*
Bantfu labambalwa labaseleNgitabanikela etitseni tabo kuze tibabulale ngenkemba,’ kusho Jehova.”+
10 Maye waze wangenta make ngekungitala,+Bonkhe bantfu bahlale nje bacabana nami futsi bangilwisa.
Kute intfo lengike ngayiboleka kumuntfu nobe ngabolekisa ngayo;Kodvwa bonkhe bayangicalekisa.
11 Jehova watsi: “Nakanjani ngitakwentela lokuhle;Ngitakusita ngesikhatsi senhlekelele,Ngikusite nawucindzetelekile kuze sitsa singakuhlaseli.
12 Ukhona yini umuntfu longephula insimbi ibe ticucu,Ephule insimbi lephuma enyakatfo, ephule nelitfusi?
13 Titsa tenu ngitatinika tintfo tenu letiligugu nemcebo wenu,+Ngitatinika mahhala, ngenca yato tonkhe tono lenitentile kulo lonkhe lelive.
14 Letintfo ngitatinika titsa tenuKuze tihambe nato tiye eveni leningalati.+
Ngobe intfukutselo yami yente kwavutsa umlilo,Futsi nyalo uyanishisa.”+
15 Awu Jehova, wena uyakwati kuhlupheka kwami,Ngikhumbule futsi unginake.
Ngiphindziselele kulabo labangihluphako.+
Mane ungababeketeleli sikhatsi lesidze ngobe ngitawuze ngife.
Khumbula kutsi ngihlushwa ngenca yelibito lakho.+
16 Emavi akho atsi nakefika kimi ngawafaka enhlitiyweni,*+Enta inhlitiyo yami yajabula kakhulu futsi yatfokota,Ngobe ngibitwa ngelibito lakho, wena Jehova Nkulunkulu wemabutfo.
17 Angihlali nebantfu labatsandza emadzili futsi angijabuli kanye nabo.+
Ngitihlalela ngedvwa ngobe nguwe longicondzisako,Futsi nami tiyangitfukutselisa letintfo letimbi labatentile.*+
18 Kwentiwa yini kutsi buhlungu bami bungapheli nelinceba lami lingapholi?
Alelapheki.
Utangifananela nemtfombo wemanti lowomile yini,Futsi lengingeke ngiwetsembe?
19 Ngako-ke Jehova utsi:
“Nawubuya kimi, ngitawuphindze ngikwemukele,Futsi utawuchubeka ungisebentela,*Nawukhona kwehlukanisa tintfo letiligugu kuletilite,Ngitawusebentisa wena kuze ungikhulumele.
Kutawuba kubo kutsi bayafuna yini kuhambisana nawe,Kodvwa wena ngeke uhambisane nabo.”
20 “Ngikwenta kutsi ube lubondza kulabantfu, lubondza lolucinile lwelitfusi.+
Batakulwa nawe,Kodvwa angeke bakwehlule,*+Ngobe mine nginawe, ngitakusindzisa futsi ngikukhulule,” kusho Jehova.
21 “Ngitakukhulula kubantfu lababiNgikusindzise kulabo labatidlova.”
