UYeremiya esitokisini
1Ke kaloku, uPashure unyana kaImere, umbingeleli, lowo ke ubengumveleli oyingànga endlwini kaYehova, weva uYeremiya eprofeta la mazwi. 2UPashure wambetha uYeremiya umprofeti, wamfaka esitokisini• esisesangweni lasentla lakwaBhenjamin, elisendlwini kaYehova. 3Kwathi ngengomso, uPashure wamkhupha uYeremiya esitokisini.
Wathi uYeremiya kuye, UYehova àkathi linguPashure igama lakho; úthi linguNxunguphala-ngeenxa-zonke. 4Ngokuba utsho uYehova ukuthi, Yabona, ndikwenza ukuba uzinxunguphalise wena ngokwakho, nabo bonke abakuthandayo; bawe likrele leentshaba zabo, abone amehlo akho, ndiwanikèle onke amaYuda esandleni sokumkani waseBhabhedi, abafudusele eBhabheli, ababulale ngekrele. 5Ndoyinikela yonke ingqwebo yalo mzi, nongeniselo lwawo lonke, neento zawo zonke ezinqabileyo; nobuncwane bonke bookumkani bakwaYuda ndibunìkele ezandleni zeentshaba zabo, zibuphange, zibuthabathe, zibuse eBhabheli. 6Wena Pashure, nabo bonke abahleli endlwini yakho, niya kuthinjwa; uyé eBhabheli, ufele khona, ungcwatyelwe khona, wena nabakuthandayo bonke, abaprofetele ubuxoki.
Ukudana komprofeti
7Yehova, ùndirhwebeshile, ndarhwebesheka; undibambile, wandeyisa, ndaba yintlekisa yonke imini; bonke bephela bayandigculela. 8Ngokuba ndithi, ndakuthetha, ndikhale, ndidanduluke, ndithi, Lugonyamelo nobhuqo; ngokuba ilizwi likaYehova laba sisingcikivo nesicukucezo kum yonke imini. 9Ndithi ndakuthi, Andisayi kumkhankanya, andisayi kuthetha engameni lakhe: kusuke entliziyweni yam kunge ngumlilo otshayo, uvalelwe emathanjeni am; ndadinwa kukunyamezela, andaba nako. 10Ngokuba ndivile intlebendwane yabaninzi, bathi, Kukunxunguphala ngeenxa zonke. Xelani, simxele. Bonke abafo ababexolelene nam balinde ukuqhwalela kwam; bathi, Mhlawumbi angárhwebesheka, simeyise, simphindezele.
11Ke uYehova unam, njengegorha elingcangcazelisayo; ngenxa yoko baya kukhubeka abandisukelayo, abayi koyisa; baya kudana kakhulu, ngokuba bengenzanga ngengqiqo; ihlazo labo lingunaphakade, alinakulityalwa. 12Wena ke, Yehova wemikhosi, ulicikidayo ilungisa, uzibonayo izintso nentliziyo, mandiyibone impindezelo yakho kubo; ngokuba ndikutyhílele ubambano lwam. 13Vumani kuYehova, mdumiseni uYehova, ngokuba ewuhlangule umphefumlo wehlwempu esandleni sabenzi bobubi.
14Mawuqalekiswe umhla endazalwa ngawo; umhla awandizala ngawo uma mawungasikeleleki. 15Mayiqalekiswe indoda, eyamshumayeza ubawo udaba lokuthi, Ùzalelwe umntwana oyinkwenkwe; yamvuyisa kakhulu. 16Loo ndoda mayibe njengemizi awayibhukuqayo uYehova, akazohlwaya; mayive ukukhala kusasa, ive kuhlatywa umkhosi emini enkulu; 17ngokuba ingandibulalanga kwasesizalweni, waza waba lingcwaba lam uma, isizalo sakhe sahlala sindimithi. 18Ibiyini na ukuba ndiphume esizalweni, ukuze ndibone ukwaphuka nesingqala, iphele imihla yam kukudana?
