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.

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?
