Jeremiya 27:1-22
27 Ekucaleni kwekubusa kwaJehoyakimu* indvodzana yaJosaya inkhosi yakaJuda, kwefika livi kuJeremiya livela kuJehova.
2 Jehova watsi: “Yeluka tintsambo, wakhe nemajoka, bese uwabeka entsanyeni yakho.
3 Ubobese utfuma titfunywa letite eJerusalema kuSedekiya inkhosi yakaJuda kutsi tiwamikise enkhosini yaka-Edomu,+ enkhosini yakaMowabi,+ enkhosini yema-Amoni,+ nasenkhosini yaseThire+ kanye nasenkhosini yaseSidoni.+
4 Uboniketa letitfunywa nangu umyalo lokufanele tiwendlulisele emakhosini ato:
“‘“Naku lokushiwo nguJehova wemabutfo longuNkulunkulu wema-Israyeli, lokufanele nikutjele emakhosi enu:
5 ‘Ngimi lowadala umhlaba, bantfu kanye netilwane letikuwo ngemandla ami lamakhulu nangesandla sami lesinemandla; futsi lomhlaba ngiwunika nome ngubani lengimtsandzako.*+
6 Nyalo onkhe lamave sengiwabeke esandleni saNebukhadnezari loyinceku yami,+ inkhosi yaseBhabhulona; sengente nekutsi tilwane tesiganga timtfobele.
7 Tonkhe tive titawuphoceleleka kutsi titfobele yena nendvodzana yakhe kanye nemtukulu wakhe, kuze kube ngulapho live lakhe liwa,+ futsi ngaleso sikhatsi utawuba sigcili setive letinyenti nesemakhosi lanemandla.’+
8 “‘Jehova utsi: “‘Nangabe kutawuba khona umbuso nobe sive lesitawala kutfobela Nebukhadnezari inkhosi yaseBhabhulona, sale nekwetfwala lijoka lenkhosi yaseBhabhulona, mine-ke ngitasijezisa ngendlala, ngenkemba+ nangesifo lesibulalako, kuze kube ngulapho ngisicotfula ngesandla sakhe.’
9 “‘“‘Ngako-ke ningabalaleli baphrofethi benu, tangoma tenu, labaphuphako, labenta imilingo kanye nebatsakatsi benu labatsi kini: “Angeke kudzingeke kutsi nitfobele inkhosi yaseBhabhulona.”
10 Baphrofetha emanga kini, ngako nangabe nitabalalela nitawutsatfwa kulelive lenu niyiswe eveni lelikhashane, futsi ngitanihlakata nize niphele nya.
11 “‘“Jehova utsi: ‘Kodvwa sive lesitawetfwala lijoka lenkhosi yaseBhabhulona futsi siyitfobele, ngitasivumela kutsi sichubeke* siseveni laso, silime futsi sihlale kulo.’”’”
12 NaSedekiya inkhosi+ yakaJuda ngamtjela emavi lafanako ngatsi: “Tfwalani lijoka lenkhosi yaseBhabhulona futsi nibe tigcili tayo netebantfu bayo, kuze nichubeke niphila.+
13 Sikuphi nje sidzingo sekutsi wena kanye nebantfu bakho nibulawe ngenkemba+ nayindlala,+ nibulawe nasifo lesibulalako,+ njengobe nje Jehova atsi kutawenteka esiveni lesitawala kutfobela inkhosi yaseBhabhulona?
14 Ningawalaleli emavi ebaphrofethi labatsi kini: ‘Angeke kudzingeke kutsi nitfobele inkhosi yaseBhabhulona,’+ ngobe bayaniyenga.+
15 “Jehova utsi: ‘Angikabatfumi, kodvwa bona baphrofetha emanga egameni lami. Ngako nanibalalela, ngitanihlakata nize niphele nya, nine nalabaphrofethi benu.’”+
16 Ngabese ngikhuluma nebaphristi nabo bonkhe labantfu ngatsi: “Naku lokushiwo nguJehova: ‘Ningawalaleli lamavi alabaphrofethi labaphrofetha kini batsi: “Madvutane nje tintfo tasendlini yaJehova titawubuyiswa tisuka eBhabhulona!”+ ngobe bayaniyenga.+
17 Ningabalaleli. Tfobelani inkhosi yaseBhabhulona kuze nichubeke niphila.+ Ngale kwaloko lelidolobha litawubhujiswa.
18 Kodvwa nangabe babaphrofethi futsi bakhuluma livi laJehova, abancenge Jehova wemabutfo kuze tingayiswa eBhabhulona letintfo letisele endlini yaJehova, naletisele esigodlweni* senkhosi yakaJuda kanye naseJerusalema.’
19 “Ngobe naku lokushiwo nguJehova wemabutfo mayelana netinsika,+ nelibhavu lelikhulu lelitfusi,+ netincola+ kanye naletinye tintfo letisele kulelidolobha,
20 leto Nebukhadnezari inkhosi yaseBhabhulona langazange atitsatse ngesikhatsi atfumba Jekhoniya indvodzana yaJehoyakimu, inkhosi yakaJuda, kanye nato tonkhe tindvuna takaJuda netaseJerusalema, abatsatsa eJerusalema abayisa eBhabhulona;+
21 naku Jehova wemabutfo longuNkulunkulu wema-Israyeli lakushoko mayelana netintfo letisele letisendlini yaJehova naletisele esigodlweni* senkhosi yakaJuda naseJerusalema:
22 ‘“Titawutsatfwa tiyiswe eBhabhulona,+ futsi titawuhlala lapho kuze kufike sikhatsi sekutsi ngitikhumbule. Ngitawubese ngiyatilandza ngitibuyise kulendzawo,”’ kusho Jehova.”+
