Ukubhalwa kwencwadi esongwayo yeziprofeto zikaYeremiya
1Kwathi, ngomnyaka wesiné kaYehoyakim unyana kaYosiya, ukumkani wakwaYuda, lafika eli lizwi kuYeremiya, livela kuYehova, lisithi, 2Thabathela kuwe incwadi esongwayo, uwabhale kuyo onke amazwi endawathetha kuwe ngamaSirayeli, nangamaYuda, nangeentlanga zonke, kususela kwimini endathethayo kuwe, uthabathele emihleni kaYosiya, ude uze kule mini. 3Mhlawumbi indlu kaYuda ingábuphulaphula bonke ububi endicinga ukubenza kubo, ukuze babuye elowo endleleni yakhe embi, ndibuxolele ubugwenxa babo nesono sabo.
4UYeremiya wabiza uBharuki unyana kaNeriya, wawabhala encwadini esongwayo uBharuki, ephuma emlonyeni kaYeremiya, onke amazwi kaYehova, awawathethayo kuye. 5UYeremiya wamwisela uBharuki umthetho, esithi, Mna ndivalelwe, andinako ukuya endlwini kaYehova. 6Yiya wena, uwalese encwadini esongwayo, leyo uyibhalileyo, ephuma emlonyeni wam, amazwi kaYehova, ezindlebeni zabantu endlwini kaYehova ngomhla wokuzila ukudla; uwalese nasezindlebeni zamaYuda onke, avela emizini yawo. 7Mhlawumbi ukutarhuzisa kwabo kungáwa phambi koYehova, babuye elowo endleleni yakhe embi; ngokuba mkhulu umsindo nobushushu, abuthethileyo uYehova ngaba bantu.
8Wenza ke uBharuki unyana kaNeriya njengako konke abemwisele umthetho uYeremiya umprofeti, wokuba awalese encwadini amazwi kaYehova endlwini kaYehova.
9Kwathi ngomnyaka weshumi kaYehoyakim unyana kaYosiya, ukumkani wakwaYuda, ngenyanga yesithoba, bamema uzilo lokudla phambi koYehova kubantu bonke baseYerusalem, nakubantu bonke ababevele emizini yakwaYuda, beza eYerusalem. 10UBharuki wawalesa encwadini amazwi kaYeremiya endlwini kaYehova, egumbini likaGemariya unyana kaShafan, umbhali, entendelezweni ephezulu, ekungeneni kwesango elitsha lendlu kaYehova, ezindlebeni zabantu bonke.
11Waweva uMikaya unyana kaGemariya, unyana kaShafan, onke amazwi kaYehova encwadini, 12wehla waya endlwini yokumkani, egumbini lombhali. Nabo, behleli khona abathetheli bonke: ooElishama umbhali, noDelaya unyana kaShemaya, noElinatan unyana ka-Akebhore, noGemariya unyana kaShafan, noZedekiya unyana kaHananiya, nabathetheli bonke. 13UMikaya wabaxelela onke amazwi abewavile ekuleseni kukaBharuki encwadini, ezindlebeni zabantu.
14Bonke abathetheli bathumela kuBharuki uYehudi unyana kaNetaniya, unyana kaShelemiya, unyana kaKushi, besithi, Incwadi esongwayo leyo ulesé kuyo ezindlebeni zabantu, yiphathe ngesandla sakho, uze. UBharuki unyana kaNeriya wayiphatha ke incwadi esongwayo ngesandla sakhe, weza kubo. 15Bathi kuye, Khawuhlale phantsi, uyilese ezindlebeni zethu. Wayilesa ke uBharuki ezindlebeni zabo.
16Kwathi, bakuweva onke loo mazwi, bankwantya, elowo ebheka kowabo; bathi kuBharuki, Simelwe kukumxelela ukumkani onke la mazwi. 17Bambuza uBharuki, besithi, Khawusixelele, ùtheni na ukuwabhala onke la mazwi ephuma emlonyeni wakhe? 18Wathi uBharuki kubo, Wawathetha kum onke la mazwi aphuma emlonyeni wakhe, ndawabhala encwadini le ngeinki. 19Bathi abathetheli kuBharuki, Hamba uye kuzímela, wena noYeremiya, kungàzi mntu apho nikhona.
20Bangena ke kukumkani entendelezweni, beyibeke incwadi esongwayo egumbini likaElishama umbhali, bawaxela ezindlebeni zokumkani onke amazwi lawo. 21Ukumkani wathuma uYehudi, ukuba ayithabathe incwadi esongwayo; wayithabatha ke egumbini likaElishama umbhali. UYehudi wayilesa ezindlebeni zokumkani, nasezindlebeni zabathetheli bonke abamele ngakukumkani. 22Ke kaloku ukumkani wayehleli endlwini yasebusika ngenyanga yesithoba, kubasiwe elukhambeni phambi kwakhe.
23Kwathi, xa uYehudi abelesé imiqolo emithathu nokuba miné, wayiqwenga ukumkani ngesitshetshe sombhali, wayiphosa emlilweni obuselukhambeni, yada yatsha yagqibela yonke incwadi esongwayo, emlilweni obuselukhambeni. 24Àbankwantyanga, àbazikrazulanga iingubo zabo ukumkani nabakhonzi bakhe, ababeweva loo mazwi onke. 25Noko ke bambongozayo ukumkani ooElinatan noDelaya noGemariya, ukuba angayitshisi incwadi esongwayo, àkabaphulaphula. 26Ukumkani wabawisela umthetho ooYerameli unyana kakumkani, noSeraya unyana ka-Azeriyeli, noShelemiya unyana ka-Abhedeli, ukuba bambambe uBharuki umbhali noYeremiya umprofeti; uYehova wabazimeza.
27Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kuYeremiya, emveni kokuba ukumkani abeyitshisile incwadi esongwayo, namazwi abewabhalile uBharuki, ephuma emlonyeni kaYeremiya, lisithi, 28Buya, uthabathe enye incwadi esongwayo, ubhale kuyo onke amazwi okuqala, abesencwadini esongwayo yokuqala, awayithisayo uYehoyakim ukumkani wakwaYuda. 29Uze uthi kuYehoyakim ukumkani wakwaYuda, Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Wena uyitshisile le ncwadi isongwayo, usithi, Yini na ukuba ubhale kuyo ukuthi, Ukumkani waseBhabheli uya kuza ezè, alonakalise eli lizwe, aphelise umntu nenkomo kulo? 30Ngako oko, utsho uYehova ngokusingisele kuYehoyakim ukumkani wakwaYuda, ukuthi, Akuyi kubakho bani wakwakhe kuye, uhlalayo etroneni kaDavide; isidumbu sakhe siya kulahlelwa ebushushwini belanga emini, naseqabakeni ebusuku. 31Ndiya kumvelela yena, nembewu yakhe, nabakhonzi bakhe, ngobugwenxa babo; ndibuzísele bona, nabemi baseYerusalem, namadoda akwaYuda, bonke ububi endabuthethayo kubo; ke àbaphulaphula.
32UYeremiya wathabatha enye incwadi esongwayo, wayinika uBharuki unyana kaNeriya, umbhali; wawabhala kuyo, ephuma emlonyeni kaYeremiya, onke amazwi encwadi awayitshisayo uYehoyakim ukumkani wakwaYuda ngomlilo. Kongezelelwa kuwo amazwi amaninzi, anjengawo.
