Jeremiya 12:1-17
12 Awu Jehova, wena unguNkulunkulu lolungile,+ nangiletsa sikhalo sami kuweFutsi nangikhuluma ngetindzaba tekwehlulela kwakho, wena wenta ngekulunga.
Kodvwa kwentiwa yini kutsi lababi baphumelele?+
Futsi kwentiwa yini kutsi bantfu labakhohlakele kube bete labakhatsateka ngako?
2 Wena wabahlanyela futsi nyalo sebasimeme.
Sebakhule baze batsela titselo.
Bahlale bakhuluma ngawe, kepha etinhlitiyweni* tabo abanendzaba nawe.+
3 Kodvwa wena Jehova ungati kahle+ futsi uyangibona;Uyihlolisisile inhlitiyo yami, wayitfola yetsembele kuwe.+
Behlukanise njengetimvu letiyohlatjwa,Futsi ubabekele lilanga labatawubulawa ngalo.
4 Kutawuze kube ngunini solo lelive lihhohlokaNetjani lobusemasimini boma?+
Ngenca yebubi lobentiwa ngulabo labahlala emhlabeni,Tilwane tesiganga kanye netinyoni setiphelile.
Ngobe batsite: “Akaboni kutsi kutakwentekani kitsi.”
5 Nakwenteka udzinwa kantsi ugijima nemadvodza,Ungancintisana njani-ke nemahhashi?+
Nangabe uva ulondzekile eveni lelinekuthula,Kutawuba njalo yini nasewusemahlatsini lahlangene langaseJordane?
6 Ngisho nabomnakenu, labo lotalwa nabo,Abaketsembeki kuwe.+
Bakufisele lokubi.
Ungacali ubetsembe,Ngisho nome bakhuluma kahle nawe.
7 “Ngiyilahlile indlu yami;+ Ngibashiyile bantfu labalifa lami.+
Bantfu bami lengibatsandzako ngibanikele etitseni tabo.+
8 Bantfu labalifa lami sebafana nelibhubesi lelisehlatsini.
Sebayangibhodlela.
Kungako sengibenyanya.
9 Bantfu labalifa lami banjengelingce lelimabalabala,Lamanye emangce ayalitungeleta futsi alihlasele.+
Wotani nonkhe nine tilwane tesiganga, nihlangane ndzawonye,Wotani nitewudla lelingce.+
10 Belusi labanyenti batibulele tihlahla tami temagilebisi;+Bayigcobagcobile indzawo yami.+
Lendzawo yami lenhle bayigucule yaba lihlane lelingenalutfo.
11 Nyalo seyigucuke yaba yindzawo lengenamsebenti.
Seyomile,*Futsi isele ite lutfo.+
Lonkhe lelive lishiywe lingenalutfo,Kodvwa kute umuntfu lonendzaba nalo.+
12 Titsa letibhubhisako setifikile, tichamuke ngato tonkhe tindlela letidzabula ehlane,Ngobe inkemba yaJehova ibhubhisa bantfu kusukela lakucala khona lelive kuze kuyofika ekugcineni kwalo.+
Kute lonekuthula.
13 Bahlanyele kolo, kodvwa bavune emanyeva.+
Basebente kamatima, kodvwa kute labakutfolile.
Sivuno sabo sitawubenta babe nemahloniNgobe Jehova ubatfukutselele kakhulu.”
14 Jehova utsi: “Bonkhe bomakhelwane bami lababi, lababhubhisa live lengalinika bantfu bami lokungema-Israyeli,+ ngitabasusa eveni labo,+ ngisuse nendlu yaJuda emkhatsini wabo.
15 Kodvwa nasengibasusile ngitawuphindze ngibe nemusa kubo futsi nguloyo naloyo ngimbuyisele endzaweni lelifa lakhe naseveni lakhe.”
16 “Nangabe batawufundza kutiphatsa njengebantfu bami futsi bafunge ngelibito lami batsi: ‘Ngifunga Jehova Nkulunkulu lophilako!’ njengobe nje nabo bake bafundzisa bantfu bami kufunga ngaBhali, batawubese bahlala nebantfu bami.
17 Kodvwa nangabe bala kulalela, ngitasisusa leso sive, ngisicedze siphele nya,” kusho Jehova.+
