EmaRekhabi abeka sibonelo ngekulalela kwawo (1-19)
35 Emalangeni aJehoyakimu+ indvodzana yaJosaya, inkhosi yakaJuda, Jehova wakhuluma naJeremiya watsi:
2 “Hamba uyokhuluma nebantfu basemndenini wemaRekhabi+ futsi ubaletse endlini yaJehova. Ubobangenisa kulenye yetindlu tekudlela,* bese ubanika liwayini kuze banatse.”
3 Ngako ngatsatsa Jazaniya indvodzana yaJeremiya loyindvodzana yaHabasiniya, ngatsatsa nabomnakabo, nawo onkhe emadvodzana akhe kanye nabo bonkhe bantfu basemndenini wemaRekhabi,
4 ngaya nabo endlini yaJehova. Ngabangenisa endlini yekudlela yemadvodzana aHanana indvodzana ya-Igdaliya, inceku yaNkulunkulu weliciniso, lebeyiseceleni kwendlu yekudlela yetindvuna. Lendlu yekudlela yetindvuna beyingetulu kwendlu yekudlela yaMaseya indvodzana yaShalumi logadza emnyango.
5 Ngabese ngitsatsa tinkomishi letineliwayini kanye netindzebe letigcwele liwayini ngatibeka embikwemadvodza langemaRekhabi, futsi ngatsi: “Natsani leliwayini.”
6 Kodvwa wona atsi: “Angeke silinatse leliwayini, ngoba Jehonadabi*+ indvodzana yaRekhabi longukhokho wetfu wasiyala watsi: ‘Nine nemadvodzana enu ningacali ninatse liwayini.
7 Ningacali nakhe tindlu, nobe nihlanyele inhlanyelo, nobe nihlanyele tihlahla temagilebisi nobe tibe ngetenu. Kunaloko kufanele nichubeke nihleli emathendeni, kuze niphile sikhatsi lesidze kulelive lenitihambi kulo.’
8 Ngako solo sisakulalela konkhe loko Jehonadabi indvodzana yakhokho wetfu Rekhabi lasiyala ngako. Tsine, bafati betfu, emadvodzana etfu nemadvodzakati etfu asikaze silinatse liwayini.
9 Asitakhi netindlu kuze sihlale kuto, futsi site tihlahla temagilebisi nobe emasimu nobe inhlanyelo.
10 Solo sihleli emathendeni futsi sikulalela konkhe loko khokho wetfu Jehonadabi* lasiyala ngako.
11 Kodvwa kwatsi lapho Nebukhadnezari* inkhosi yaseBhabhulona ahlasela lelive,+ satsi: ‘Asambeni siye eJerusalema kuze sibalekele libutfo lemaKhaledi nelemaSiriya.’ Kungako nyalo sesihlala eJerusalema.”
12 Jehova wabese ukhuluma naJeremiya watsi:
13 “Naku lokushiwo nguJehova wemabutfo longuNkulunkulu wema-Israyeli: ‘Hamba uye kubantfu bakaJuda nakulabo labahlala eJerusalema ufike utsi kubo: “Benginganincengi yini onkhe malanga kutsi nilalele emavi ami?”+ kusho Jehova.
14 “Jehonadabi indvodzana yaRekhabi wayala bonkhe bantfwana bakhe kutsi bangalinatsi liwayini, futsi bamlalela ngobe kuze kube ngulamuhla abalinatsi liwayini, ngaleyondlela bakhombisa kutsi bayamlalela khokho wabo.+ Kodvwa mine bengihlale ngikhuluma nani,* kepha anikangilaleli.+
15 Bengihlale nginitfumelela tonkhe tinceku tami letibaphrofethi, ngititfumela njalo nje,*+ ngitsi: ‘Ngicela niyekele tindlela tenu letimbi+ futsi nente lokuhle! Ningabalandzeli labanye bonkulunkulu futsi ningabakhonti. Nanenta njalo nitawuchubeka nihleti kulelive lengalinika nine nabokhokho benu.’+ Kodvwa anizange ninginake* nobe ningilalele.
16 Bantfwana baJehonadabi indvodzana yaRekhabi bakulalela loko khokho wabo labatjela kona.+ Kodvwa labantfu laba abangilaleli.”’”
17 “Ngako-ke naku lokushiwo nguJehova Nkulunkulu wemabutfo, longuNkulunkulu wema-Israyeli: ‘Bantfu bakaJuda nabo bonkhe bantfu baseJerusalema ngitabenta behlelwe ngiyo yonkhe lenhlekelele lengibecwayise ngayo.+ Ngobe mine ngikhulume nabo kodvwa bangangilaleli, ngachubeka ngibabita kodvwa bangasabeli.’”+
18 Jeremiya wakhuluma nemndeni wemaRekhabi watsi: “Jehova wemabutfo longuNkulunkulu wema-Israyeli utsi: ‘Njengobe nje niwulalele umyalo wakhokho wenu Jehonadabi futsi nichubeka nikugcina konkhe laniyala ngako, nikwenta njengobe nje asho,
19 ngako-ke naku lokushiwo nguJehova wemabutfo longuNkulunkulu wema-Israyeli: “Emndenini waJehonadabi* indvodzana yaRekhabi, utawuhlale akhona umuntfu lotangisebentela.”’”
