1Muṋe washu u ri, “Arali u tshi funa u vhuya iwe Israele, ndi zwone, vhuelela kha Nṋe. Arali wa laṱa midzimu yau i nengisaho, u songo tsha pambuwa nḓilani. 2Arali wa ana wa ri, ‘Nga Yahavee a tshilaho’, u ane u ngohoni, u ite zwi re zwone, u haṱule nga khaṱhulo mbuya; ndi hone tshakha dzi tshi ḓo shudufhadzana nga Nṋe dza zuwa Nṋe.”
3Muṋe washu u amba na vhathu vha Juda na vha Jerusalema, u ri, “Limani mavuvhu aṋu, mbeu yaṋu ni songo zwala mipfani. 4Ḓifumbiseleni Nṋe Yahavee, ni tou fumba mbilu, inwi vhanna vha Juda na vhathu vha Jerusalema, mbiti dzanga dzi sa ḓo pwashea dza duga unga mulilo nga mulandu wa vhuvhi he na ita, dza ri u duga ha si vhe na a dzi dzimaho.”
“Maswina o swika!”
5Zwi ḓivhadzeni Juda, ni zwi ṱavhele mukosi Jerusalema!
Lidzani phalaphala shangoni ḽoṱhe!
Ṱavhani mukosi zwi pfale ni ri, “Kuvhanganani!
Kha ri shavhele miḓini hu re na vhudzumbamo!”
6Imisani tshiga tshi sumbaho nḓila i yaho Tsioni!
Shavhani ni yo dzumbama, ni songo lenga!
Ndi khou ḓisa khombo i bvaho devhula,
hu ḓo ḓa ndozwo khulu.
7Ndau yo no takuwa vhulaloni hayo ya bvela nnḓa,
mulozwi wa dzitshakha u nḓilani.
O no takuwa,

miḓi yaṋu i ḓo sala i matumba i si na muthu.
8Huno-ha ambarani madzanganda a tshililo,
ni lile ni tou ṱavha mukosi;
mbiti dza Muṋe washu a dzo ngo ri humela.
9Muṋe washu u ri,
“Musi hoyo mahosi na vhahulwane
vha ḓo kulea nungo,
vhotshifhe vha ḓo akhamala,
vhaporofita zwa vha somela.”
10“Zwenezwo vha ḓo ri, ‘Yawee Muṋe wa zwoṱhe Muṋe washu, wo fhura vhathu vha Jerusalema tshoṱhe u tshi ri ḽi ḓo lala, mathina banga ḽi mikuloni yashu.’ ”
Ḓumbu ḽi fhisaho ḽa khaṱhulo
11Musi wonoyo vhathu vha Jerusalema vha ḓo vhudzwa upfi, “Hu khou vhudzula muya u fhisaho u tshi bva miṱumbani ya zwikwara zwa phangani u tshi ḓa kha vhathu vhanga. A si wa u hwala maṱunga na mungu vhathu vha tshi ludza lini, 12ndi wa u kumba zwoṱhe. Ndi Nṋe ane nda ḓo amba ha ḓa wonoyo muya wa khaṱhulo.”
Vha Juda vha nga kha ḓi tshidzwa naa?
13Vhonani maswina
a khou swika nga luvhilo unga gole,
gariki dzao dzi khou ḓa unga tshiḓumbumukwe,
bere dzao dzi na luvhilo lu no fhira lwa goni.
Ro welwa nga khombo!
Ndi hone ro lovha!
14“Iwe Jerusalema,
laṱa vhuvhi vhu re mbiluni yau u tshidzwe.
U ḓo dzula na vhunwa mbiluni u swika lini?
15Vhaḓinḓa vha bvaho muḓini wa Dani

Vha ḓo ṱavhela Juda mukosi wa nndwa.
17Maswina a u tanga unga vhathu vho lindaho tsimu
nge wa shandukela Nṋe.
Ho amba Nṋe Yahavee.
18Hezwo wo tou ḓiokela

Heyo ndi ṱhamu yau. I vhavha hani!
I phuletshedza u swika mbiluni!”
Jeremia a tshi ṱavhela vhathu vha hawe mukosi
19Yawee, ndi khou pfa vhuṱungu,

Mbilu yanga i tou sinḓa ngomu hanga,

Ndo pfa phalaphala i tshi lila,

20Khombo dzi khou tevhekana;

21Ndi ḓo ṱalela nndwa i tshi lwiwa nda pfa phalaphala i tshi lila u swika lini?
22Muṋe washu u ri,
“Vhathu vhanga ndi matsilu,
Nṋe a vha nnḓivhi;
ndi vhana vha sa pfesesi,
a vha na ṱhalukanyo;

Phusuphusu dzi ḓaho
23Ndo sedza ḽifhasi nda vhona ḽo vilingana,

24Ndo sedza dzithavha nda vhona dzi tshi dzinginyea;

26Nda sedza nda vhona shango ḽo vhibvelaho
ḽo no sala ḽi soga,

27(Muṋe washu o amba uri ḽifhasi ḽoṱhe ḽi ḓo sala ḽi soga,
naho a sa nga ḽi lozwi tshoṱhe.)
28Ḽifhasi ḽi ḓo lila,

Ho amba Muṋe washu,

Ha nga ḓisoli,

29Muḓi woṱhe u ḓo shavha vha tshi pfa mukosi

Vhaṅwe vha shavhela maṱakani, vhaṅwe vha gonya nngwa;

30Iwe Jerusalema wo phusukanywaho,
u ḓo itani?
Ndi mini u tshi ambara dza muridili
na nungu dza musuku?
Ndi mini u tshi fhoma maṱo au nga phomo unga phombwe?
U ḓiṱama hau ndi mahandana fhedzi,

vha ṱoḓa u u vhulaha.
31Ndi khou pfa mukosi u no nga wa musadzi

ndi mukosi wa u fhihamelwa ha Tsioni
a tshi onyolosa zwanḓa a tshi ri,
“Yawee, ndi khou dzidzivhala,
ndo kumedzwa dziphondi!”
