Yeremiya
24 Emva koko uYehova wandibonisa iibhaskithi ezimbini zamafiya* zibekwe phambi kwetempile kaYehova, emva kokuba uKumkani uNebhukadenetsare,* ukumkani waseBhabhiloni, ethimbe uYekoniya*+ unyana kaYehoyakim,+ ukumkani wakwaYuda, iinkosana zakwaYuda, abakhandi abangamachule nabo basebenza ngesinyithi;* wabathatha eYerusalem wabasa eBhabhiloni.+ 2 Enye ibhaskithi yayinamafiya* amahle kakhulu, njengamafiya* okuqala, kodwa enye inamafiya amabi kakhulu, kangangokuba ayengatyeki.
3 Emva koko uYehova wandibuza: “Ubona ntoni Yeremiya?” Ndathi: “Amafiya;* la mahle, mahle kakhulu, kodwa la mabi, mabi kakhulu kangangokuba awatyeki.”+
4 Emva koko lafika kum ilizwi likaYehova lisithi: 5 “Uthi uYehova uThixo kaSirayeli, ‘Njengala mafiya* mahle, ndiza kubajonga njengabalungileyo abathinjwa bakwaYuda, abo ndibasuse kule ndawo ndabasa kwilizwe lamaKhaledi. 6 Ndiza kubeka ilihlo lam kubo ukuze balungelwe, yaye ndiza kubenza babuyele kweli lizwe.+ Ndiza kubakha, ndingabachithi; ndiza kubatyala, ndingabancothuli.+ 7 Ndiza kubanika nentliziyo yokundazi ukuba ndinguYehova.+ Baza kuba ngabantu bam, nam ndibe nguThixo wabo,+ kuba baza kubuyela kum ngentliziyo yabo yonke.+
8 “‘Kodwa uthi uYehova ngamafiya* amabi kangangokuba engatyeki:+ “Ndiza kumjonga njengawo uKumkani uZedekiya+ wakwaYuda, iinkosana zakhe, nabo baseYerusalem bashiyeke kweli lizwe, nabo bahlala kwilizwe laseYiputa.+ 9 Ndiza kubenza into eyoyikekayo nentlekele kuzo zonke izizwe zomhlaba,+ babe yinto yokuhlekisa nento ekuzekeliswa ngayo, babe yinto yokugezelwa nento eqalekisiweyo+ kuzo zonke iindawo endibasasazela kuzo.+ 10 Ndiza kuthumela kubo ikrele,+ indlala nesifo esingubhubhani,+ de baphele emhlabeni endawunika bona nookhokho babo.”’”
