Jeremiya 51

“Buka la, ngiyawuvusa umoya wembhubhisi

usukele iBhabhulona kanye

nebantfu baseLebu Khamayi.

₂Ngiyawutfumela tihambi eBhabhulona

kutsi titeyihlunga tibhubhise nelive layo.

Tiyawumelana nayo ndzawo tonkhe,

ngelilanga lenhlekelele yayo.

₃Umnembi waseBhabhulona

akangacibisheli ngebutjoki bakhe,

futsi angahlomi ngetikhali takhe.

Ungabashiyi labasha bayo,

yibhubhise uyicedze imphi yayo yonkhe.

₄Bayakuwela phansi bagwaziwe eveni lemaBhabhulona,

balimele bamancebanceba etitaladini talo.

₅Ngobe baka-Israyeli nebakaJuda

abakashiywa nguNkulunkulu wabo,

Simakadze longuSomandla,

noko live lemaBhabhulona liphuphuma ngemacala

kuLongcwele waka-Israyeli.

₆“Phumani nibaleke eBhabhulona!

Phephisani timphilo tenu!

Ningabhujiswa ngenca yetono tayo.

Sesikhatsi sekuphindzisela kwaSimakadze;

utayikhokhela ngaloko lokuyifanele.

₇IBhabhulona bekuyindzebe yegolide

esandleni saSimakadze;

yadzakisa wonkhe umhlaba.

Tive tanatsa liwayini layo,

ngako manje setiyahlanya.

₈Ngalokutumako iBhabhulona iyakuwa ibhidlitwe.

Yilileleni bo! Yitfoleleni ibhalisamu

yekwelapha leminjunju yayo;

mhlawumbe ingelapheka.

₉“ ‘Ngabe sesiyiphilisile iBhabhulona,

kodvwa ayelapheki,

asiyishiye,

ngulowo nalowo aye eveni lakubo,

ngobe kwehlulelwa kwayo kufikela esibhakabhakeni.

₁₀“ ‘Simakadze usivikele.

Wotani siyewukhuluma eSiyoni

kutsi Simakadze Nkulunkulu wetfu usenteleni.’

₁₁“Lolani imicibisholo,

nitsatse emahawu!

Simakadze uchukulute emakhosi aseMediya,

ngobe injongo yakhe kubhubhisa iBhabhulona.

Simakadze utawutiphindzisela,

akhiphe sibhongo ngenca yelithempeli lakhe.

₁₂Phakamisani siboniso semphi,

ngasetibondzeni taseBhabhulona!

Cinisani bogadzi,

nimise kahle balindzi,

kulalela titsa endleleni!

Simakadze utayiphumelelisa injongo yakhe,

utakukwenta loko labekukhuluma

kubantfu baseBhabhulona.

₁₃Wena lohlala ngasemantini lamanyenti

futsi lonjingile ngemcebo,

siphetfo sakho sesifikile,

sikhatsi sakho sekutsi uncanyulwe.”

₁₄Simakadze longuSomandla utifunge yena, watsi:

“Ngiyawukugcwalisa ngemadvodza,

kube shangatsi ngemabulo etintsetse,

bayawumemeta ngelivi lelikhulu bahalalise ngawe.”

₁₅“Umhlaba wawenta ngemandla akhe,

wawusekela ngekuhlakanipha kwakhe,

wendlala emazulu ngekucondza kwakhe.

₁₆Nakabhavumula yena,

emanti asemazulwini ayabhodla,

ukhuphula emafu emikhawulweni yonkhe yemhlaba.

Utfumela umbane nemvula,

akhiphe umoya etingungwini takhe.

₁₇“Wonkhe umuntfu akanangcondvo, futsi akanalwati;

wonkhe umbumbi wetegolide unemahloni ngetithico takhe.

Titfombe takhe tiyinkhohliso nje,

atinamphefumulo.

₁₈Atinamsebenti walutfo,

tintfo nje tekuhlekisa.

Tiyawuphela mhlazana kufika kwehlulelwa kwato.

₁₉Lowo Losabelo sakaJakobe akafanani naleti,

ngobe yena unguMenti wato tonkhe tintfo,

ngisho newesive lesilifa lakhe.

Libito lakhe nguSimakadze longuSomandla.

₂₀“Ulizembe lami lemphi,

nesikhali sami semphi,

ngawe ngiphihlita tive,

ngawe ngibhubhise imibuso.

₂₁Ngawe ngiphihlita lihhashi nemgibeli walo,

ngawe ngiphihlita incola yemphi nemshayeli wayo.

₂₂Ngawe ngiphihlita umfati nendvodza,

ngawe ngiphihlita emakhehla nalabasebancane,

ngawe ngiphihlita lijaha nentfombi,

₂₃ngawe ngiphihlita umelusi nemhlambi wakhe wetimvu,

ngawe ngiphihlita umlimi netinkhabi takhe,

ngawe ngiphihlita babusi netiphatsimandla.”

₂₄“Embikwemehlo enu

ngiyawutiphindzisela kuyo iBhabhulona,

nakubo bonkhe labahlala eveni lemaBhabhulona

ngako konkhe labona ngako eSiyoni,” kusho Simakadze.

₂₅“Ngimelene nawe,

wena ntsaba lebhubhisako,

wena lobhubhisa umhlaba wonkhe,” kusho Simakadze.

“Ngiyakwelula sandla sami silwe nawe,

ngikugicite ngikwehlise eticongweni,

ngikwente ube yintsaba leshisiwe.

₂₆Kute lidvwala leliyawutsatfwa kuwe

liyekwentiwa sisekelo sendlu,

kute nome litje leliyakwentiwa sisekelo,

ngobe sewuyawusala kukhala libhungane

phakadze naphakadze,” kusho Simakadze.

₂₇“Phakamisani emhlabeni siboniso semphi!

Shayani impalampala emkhatsini wetive!

Lungisani tive, nitilungiselele kulwa neBhabhulona.

Butsani lemibuso,

niyisukele niyihlasele:

nibite i-Ararathi,

neMini kanye ne-Ashkenazi.

Bekani indvuna yemphi,

nimelane neBhabhulona.

Tfumelani emahhashi lanjengemabulo esikhonyane.

₂₈Lungisani tive nitilungiselele kulwa nayo,

emakhosi aseMediya, nebabusi bawo,

netiphatsimandla tawo tonkhe,

kanye nemave onkhe letiwabusako.

₂₉Live liyatfutfumela ligidzitele,

ngobe injongo yaSimakadze ngeBhabhulona imile,

kutsi abhubhise live laseBhabhulona,

kuze kutsi kubete namunye longahlala kulo.

₃₀Emabutfo aseBhabhulona aseyekele kulwa,

asahleti nje etinqabeni tawo.

Emandla awo asaphelile, asanjengebafati.

Tindzawo tayo tekuhlala setilunyekwe ngemlilo;

imicabo yemasango ayo seyephuliwe.

₃₁Sigijimi lesinye silandzela lesinye,

nesitfunywa silandzela lesinye sitfunywa

kuyawubikela inkhosi yaseBhabhulona

kutsi lonkhe lidolobha layo selitfunjiwe.

₃₂Ematubuko avinjiwe,

imihlanga ishiswe ngemlilo,

emasotja atfutfumela.”

“INdvodzakati yaseBhabhulona

injengendzawo yekubhulela kolo

ngesikhatsi nayigcotjwagcotjwa,

sikhatsi sekuyivuna iBhabhulona sitawufika masinyane.”

₃₄“Usidlile Nebukhadnezari, inkhosi yaseBhabhulona,

wasicedza,

wasenta saba ludziwo lolungenalutfo.

Njenganyokangwenya usigwinyile,

wagcwalisa sisu sakhe ngebumnandzi betfu,

wabuya wasihlanta.

₃₅Shangatsi lobudlwangudlwangu

lobentiwe enyameni yetfu bungabasetikweBhabhulona,”

kusho takhamiti taseSiyoni.

“Shangatsi ingati yetfu ingabasetikwalabo

labatakhamiti eveni lemaBhabhulona,”

kusho iJerusalema.

“Buka la,

ngiyakuyivikela indzaba yakho,

ngikubuyiselele;

ngiyakomisa lwandle lwelive lemaBhabhulona

ngente imitfombo yalo yome.

₃₇IBhabhulona iyawuba yindvundvuma yematje,

kube ngumgedze wetimphungutja,

sesabiso nentfo yekuphukutwa,

yebo, indzawo lengahlalwa ngumuntfu.

₃₈Bantfu bakhona bonkhe babhodla

njengemabhubesi lasemancane,

bayahhonga njengemankhonyane emabhubesi.

₃₉Kodvwa bayawutsi nase bavutsa,

ngibentele lidzili labo,

ngibadzakise,

kuze batewumemeta ngenjabulo,

bese balala kokuphela bangaphindzi bavuke,”

kusho Simakadze.

₄₀“Ngiyawubehlisela phansi bayiswe ekuhlatjweni

njengemazinyane

nanjengetihhanca netiphongo.”

₄₁“Maye, iyawutfunjwa iSheshaki bo!

Yona lebeyiludvumo lwemhlaba wonkhe itawubanjwa.

Maye, iyawuba sesabiso iBhabhulona

emkhatsini wetive!

₄₂Lwandle luyawukhuphukela etikweBhabhulona,

emagagasi alo ladvumako ayawuyisibekela.

₄₃Emadolobha ayo ayawusala akhala libhungane,

ibe live lelomile nalelilihlane,

live lapho kungahlali muntfu khona,

lapho kungahambi muntfu khona.

₄₄Ngiyakumjezisa Bheli eBhabhulona,

ngimente akuhlantele phansi konkhe loko lakumitile.

Tive atisayikubekelela tiye kuye,

nelubondza lwaseBhabhulona luyakuwa.

₄₅“Phumani kuyo, sive sami!

Balekisani timphilo tenu!

Balekelani intfukutselo leyesabekako yaSimakadze.

₄₆Ningajabhi, futsi ningesabi,

nakuvakala emahemuhemu eveni.

Lenye indzaba itawufika lonyaka,

lenye ifike nyakenye,

emahemuhemu ebudlwangudlwangu eveni,

newembusi lovukela umbusi.

₄₇Ngobe ngempela sikhatsi siyawufika,

lapho ngiyawujezisa khona tithico taseBhabhulona.

Live layo lonkhe liyawuhlazeka,

nabo bonkhe labagwaziwe bakhona

bayawulala lucaca ekhatsi kuyo.

₄₈Ngulapho-ke lizulu nemhlaba nako konkhe lokukuko

kuyawumemeta ngenjabulo ngeBhabhulona,

ngobe kuyawuchamuka

babhubhisi ngasenyakatfo bateyihlasela,”

kusho Simakadze.

₄₉“IBhabhulona kufanele iwe

ngenca yema-Israyeli labulewe,

njengaloko labo lababulewe emhlabeni wonkhe

bawa ngenca yeBhabhulona.”

₅₀“Nine leniphunyulile enkembeni,

hambani ningabe nisalibala!

Khumbulani Simakadze,

niseveni lelikhashane,

nicabange ngeJerusalema.”

₅₁“Sihlazekile, ngobe setfukiwe,

lihlazo lisimbonye buso betfu,

ngobe bantfu bekuhamba bangenile

etindzaweni letingcwele tendlu yaSimakadze.”

₅₂“Kodvwa ayeta emalanga,

lapho ngiyawujezisa khona tithico tayo,

kulo lonkhe live layo

labalimele bayawububula,” kusho Simakadze.

₅₃“Ngisho nome iBhabhulona ingefikela esibhakabhakeni

icinise tonkhe tinqaba tayo letiphakeme,

ngiyawutfumela babhubhisi bayisukele,”

kusho Simakadze.

₅₄“Umsindvo wekukhala uchamuka eBhabhulona,

umsindvo wekubhubhisa lokukhulu

uchamuka eveni lemaBhabhulona.

₅₅Simakadze uyakuyibhubhisa iBhabhulona,

uyawuvala imilomo yemisindvo yayo.

Emagagasi etitsa ayawugubha

njengemanti lamakhulu,

kudvuma kwemavi ato kuyawuvakala kuhlokoma.

₅₆Umbhubhisi uyawufika emelane neBhabhulona,

emabutfo ayo ayawutfunjwa,

nebutjoki bawo buyakwephulwa.

Ngobe Simakadze unguNkulunkulu wemivuzo,

uyawukhokhela ngalokuphelele.

₅₇Ngiyawudzakisa tindvuna tayo

kanye nalabahlakaniphile bayo,

nebabusi bayo,

netiphatsimandla tayo,

kanye nemabutfo ayo nawo.

Bayawulala kokuphela bangaphindzi bavuke,”

kusho iNkhosi, lelibito layo

kunguSimakadze longuSomandla.

“Lubondza lolulicinsi lwaseBhabhulona

luyakwendlaleka phansi,

nemasango ayo laphakeme alunyekwe ngemlilo,

bantfu batikhatsate ngelite,

umshikashika wetive ungemafutsa nje ekubasela emalangabi.”
