Epaya lyoliina
1 Omuwa okwa lombwele ndje a ti: “Ki ilandele epaya lyoliina, u li zale mombunda yoye, ihe ino li yaya tuu momeya.” 2 Onda landa epaya, ngashika Omuwa a ti, nonde li zala mombunda. 3 Oohapu dhOmuwa odha adha ndje ishewe tadhi ti: 4 “Kutha epaya ndyoka wa landa nowe li zala mombunda, inda komulonga Eufrat u li holeke molumbogo lwemanya.” 5 Onda yi nonde li holeke pomulonga Eufrat, ngaashi Omuwa a lombwele ndje.
6 Sho pwa piti omasiku ogendji, Omuwa okwa lombwele ndje a ti: “Inda kuEufrat u ka tale ko epaya ndyoka nde ku lombwelele u ke li holeke ko.” 7 Onda shuna ko nonda kutha mo epaya mehala moka nde li holekele. Ihe olya li lya kulupa lyaa na we oshilonga.
8 Omuwa okwa lombwele ndje a ti: 9 “Ano osho ngeyi tandi shundula einenepeko lyaJuda nuuntsa waJerusalem. 10 Aantu mbaka aawinayi oya tindi okuvulika kungame. Oya ningi aatangalali notaa simaneke nokulongela iikalunga yaapagani. Onkee ano otaa ka ninga ya fa epaya ndika kaali na we oshilonga. 11 Ngashika epaya lya kwata mombunda, osho ngaaka onda hala okukwatathana nAaisraeli ayehe nAajuda. Onde shi ningi, opo ya kale aantu yandje taa hambelele nokusimaneka edhina lyandje, ihe yo inaa vulika kungame.”
Oshiyuma shomaviinu
12 Omuwa okwa lombwele ndje a ti: “Jeremia, lombwela Aaisraeli kutya oshiyuma kehe shomaviinu ohashi udhithwa nomaviinu. Otaa ka yamukula kutya oya tseya kutya iiyuma yomaviinu ohayi udhithwa omaviinu. 13 Ya lombwela nduno kutya ongame Omuwa tandi ka nwetha aantu moshilongo shika nomaviinu, sigo ya kolwa: aakwaniilwa, mboka oluvalo lwaDavid, aayambi, aahunganeki nAajerusalem ayehe. 14 Otandi ke ya nyanyagulithathana, shamukuluntu osho ngaa shamunona. Itandi kankekwa nando kuugelele nenge kesilohenda, opo ndaaye ya dhipage ando.”
Jeremia ta kondjitha uuntsa
15 Aaisraeli ne, Omuwa okwa popya!
Ifupipikeni, mu pulakene.
16 Simanekeni Omuwa, Kalunga keni,
manga inaa tuma omilema,
notamu ka telagana noondundu.
Otamu tegelele uuyelele,
ihe oye te u shitukitha omilema thokothoko.
17 Ngele itamu pulakene elondodho ndika,
uuntsa weni otau lilitha ndje ompompohodhi;
ote lili omahodhi omapyu,
omahodhi otaga pononoka ashike,
aantu yOmuwa sho taa kwatwa po
e taa falwa muupongekwa.
18 Omuwa okwa lombwele ndje a ti: “Lombwela omukwaniilwa nayina, ya kuluke ko kiipangelapundi yawo, oshoka iishani yawo yuulenga oya gu ko komitse dhawo. 19 Iilando muumbugantu waJuda oya kondekwa nokaku na ngoka ta vulu oku yi egulula. Aajuda ayehe oya kwatwa po noya falwa muupongekwa.”
20 Tala utale, Jerusalem! Aatondi yoye otaye ya taa ziilile kuumbangalantu. Aantu mboka ye ku inekelelwa, oye li peni, aantu yoye mboka ho inomene? 21 Oto ka popya shike, uuna aantu mboka wa dhiladhila ookuume koye, taye ku sindi notaye ku pangele? Oto ka adhika koshitheta sha fa shomukulukadhi ta vala. 22 Ngele oto pula kutya omolwashike iinima mbika ye ku ningilwa — omolwashike oonguwo dhoye dha togonyonwa po nowa kondjithwa — osha ningwa omoluulunde woye uunene. 23 Omuetiopia ota vulu tuu okulundulula oshipa she, nenge ongwe yi ikuthe iitotono yayo? Ngele otashi vulika, nena nangoye wo ngoka ho longo uuwinayi auke, oto vulu okwiilonga uuyuuki. 24 Omuwa ota ka halakanitha aantu yoye ya fa etutu tali pepwa po kombepo yokombuga. 25 Shika oshipewa shoye, oshitopolelwa shoka Omuwa e shi ku uthile, oshoka owe mu dhimbwa nowi inekela iikalunga yiifundja. 26 Omuwa oye mwenemwene ta yelutha onguwo yoye, epenge lyoye li monike. 27 Okwe ku mono to longo shoka ha tondo. Okwe ku mono to yi kiikalunga yaapagani koondundu nokomalundu, wa fa omuntu a lopela mukadhamushiinda she, wa fa okakambe okatsezi ka lamba okanzinzi. Yaye ne Aajerusalem! Onamu yogoka uunake?
1 Thus saith the LORD unto me, Go and get thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water. 2 So I got a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and put it on my loins. 3 And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying, 4 Take the girdle that thou hast got, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock. 5 So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me. 6 And it came to pass after many days, that the LORD said unto me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there. 7 Then I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing. 8 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 9 Thus saith the LORD, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem. 10 This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing. 11 For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.
12 ¶ Therefore thou shalt speak unto them this word; Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall say unto thee, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine? 13 Then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit upon David’s throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness. 14 And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them.
15 ¶ Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD hath spoken. 16 Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness. 17 But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD’s flock is carried away captive. 18 Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory. 19 The cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall open them: Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall be wholly carried away captive. 20 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock? 21 What wilt thou say when he shall punish thee? for thou hast taught them to be captains, and as chief over thee: shall not sorrows take thee, as a woman in travail?
22 ¶ And if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore come these things upon me? For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts discovered, and thy heels made bare. 23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil. 24 Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness. 25 This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith the LORD; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood. 26 Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face, that thy shame may appear. 27 I have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, and thine abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! wilt thou not be made clean? when shall it once be ?
