Jeremiya 10

“Ningatifundzi tindlela tebetive

nome-ke netfuswe tibonakaliso letisesibhakabhakeni,

nome ngabe tive tiyatfutfumela ngato.

₃Ngobe emasiko etive akanamsebenti,

bajuba sihlahla ehlatsini,

bese kutsi umbati usibata ngelishizolo lakhe,

₄bakuhlobise ngesiliva nangegolide,

bakutsekeletele ngehhamela nangetipikili,

kuze kungetiwuntengetela.

₅Njengemlindzansimi esivandzini semajoti,

letithico tabo atikwati kukhuluma,

kudzingeka tize tetfwalwe, ngobe atikwati kutihambela.

Ningatesabi, tingeke tinente lutfo lolubi,

kantsi futsi kute naloluhle letingalwenta.”

₆Awu, Simakadze umkhulu, kute lonjengawe;

nemandla eLibito lakho makhulu kakhulu.

₇Ngubani longete akuhlonipha wena,

awu, wena Nkhosi yetive?

Lolu ludvumo lolufanele wena.

Kute namunye lofanana nawe,

kuto tonkhe tihlakaniphi tetive,

nakuyo yonkhe imibuso yato.

₈Tonkhe atinangcondvo tetfwele bulima,

tifundziswa tithico letingenamsebenti tetigodvo.

₉Isiliva legcotjiwe

iyaletfwa isuka eThashishi,

negolide legcotjiwe isuka e-Ufazi.

Loko lokubatwe ngumbati nangumbumbi wetegolide,

kubese kwembatsiswa letiluhlata

njengesibhakabhaka naletibukhwebeletane,

konkhe kwakhiwe tingcweti.

₁₀Kodvwa Simakadze nguyena Nkulunkulu sibili,

Nakatfukutsele yena,

kutfutfumela umhlaba,

tive atikhoni kumelana nelulaka lwakhe.

₁₁“Batjele naku: ‘Labonkulunkulu labangazange

sebalibumbe lizulu nemhlaba,

batawubhubha baphele emhlabeni,

ngisho nangaphansi kwemazulu.’ ”

₁₂Kodvwa Nkulunkulu wawudala umhlaba

ngemandla akhe lamakhulu;

wesekela umhlaba ngekuhlakanipha kwakhe,

weneka emazulu ngekucondza kwakhe.

₁₃Utsi nakabhavumula, emanti asemazulwini advume;

ukhuphula emafu emikhawulweni yemhlaba.

Utfumela imibane kanye nemvula,

akhiphe umoya lohhushako etingungwini takhe.

₁₄Bonkhe abanangcondvo,

futsi abanalwati,

bonkhe babumbi betegolide

bahlazekile ngetithico tabo.

Titfombe tabo tiyinkhohliso, atinamphefumulo.

₁₅Atinamsebenti walutfo, tintfo nje tekuhlekisa,

kuyawutsi nakufika kwehlulelwa kwato, tibhubhe.

₁₆Lowo Losabelo sakaJakobe akafanani naleti,

ngobe yena unguMenti wato tonkhe tintfo,

wamenta na-Israyeli, sive lesilifa lakhe,

nguSimakadze Somandla libito lakhe.

₁₇Butsani timphahla tenu titewusuka kulelive,

nine lenihlala nivinjetelwe yimphi.

₁₈Ngobe naku lokushiwo nguSimakadze, utsi:

“Ngalesikhatsi ngiyawubadzacata

labo labakhile kulelive.

Ngiyawubacindzetela ngenjabhiso lembi,

kuze bakuve bonkhe.”

₁₉Maye kimi ngenca yekulimala kwami!

Silondza sami aselapheki!

Noko ngatitjela, ngatsi:

“Lesi sifo sami,

kufanele ngisibeketelele.”

₂₀Lithende lami libhidlitiwe;

tonkhe tindophi talo tidzabukile.

Emadvodzana ami esukile kimi, akasekho;

kute namunye losasele nyalo,

kute longangimisela lelithende lami,

nome-ke angimisele lelidlangala lami.

₂₁Belusi abanangcondvo,

abambuti naSimakadze;

ngako abaphumeleli,

nayo yonkhe imihlambi yabo isakatekile.

₂₂Lalelani! Livi lembiko liyasondzela,

siphitsiphitsi lesikhulu,

lesivela eveni langasenyakatfo!

Utakwenta emadolobha akaJuda

asale akhala libhungane,

angumgedze wetimphungutja.

₂₃Awu, Simakadze, ngiyati kutsi

kute umuntfu lotiphatsele yena imphilo yakhe.

Akusiko kwemuntfu kutsi

aticondzisele yena tinyatselo takhe.

₂₄Awu, Simakadze, ngicondzise,

loko ukwente ngemtsetfocotfo wakho kuphela,

kungabi ngekwelulaka lwakho,

funa ungehlise ngidzimate ngibe lite.

₂₅Tfululela lulaka lwakho etikwetive

letingakwemukeli wena,

etikwetive letingalibiti Libito lakho.

Ngobe Jakobe timudle tamshwabudzela,

timudle taze tamshwabudzela,

tabhubhisa live lakhe lekutalwa.
