| 1. | Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kuYeremiya okwesibini, esavalelwe entendelezweni yentolongo, lisithi, |
| 2. | Utsho uYehova, uMenzi woku; uYehova, uMyili woku, ukuba akuzimase; ugama lakhe linguYehova, ukuthi, |
| 3. | Ndinqule, ndikuphendule, ndikuxelele izinto ezinkulu ezinqabileyo, ongazaziyo. |
| 4. | Ngokuba utsho uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, ngazo izindlu zalo mzi, nangezindlu zokumkani bakwaYuda ezidiliziweyo ngenxa yeendonga zokungqinga, nangenxa yekrele; |
| 5. | bakubona ukuba baza kulwa namaKaledi, bazizalisa ngezidumbu zabantu, endibabulalayo ngomsindo wam nangobushushu bam, ekungenxa yezinto zabo zonke ezimbi, ukuba ndibusithelise ubuso bam kulo mzi: |
| 6. | ukuthi, Yabona, ndiwubopha ngezinto ezibotshwayo, eziphilisayo, ndibaphilise, ndibatyhilele ukuphuphuma koxolo nenyaniso. |
| 7. | Ndiya kukubuyisa ukuthinjwa kukaYuda nokuthinjwa kukaSirayeli, ndibakhe njengokwasekuqaleni. |
| 8. | Ndobahlambulula ebugwenxeni babo bonke, abone ngabo kum; ndibuxolele ubugwenxa babo bonke, bone ngabo kum, bakreqa ngabo kum. |
| 9. | Lo mzi uya kuba ligama lemihlali kum, indumiso nesihombo kwiintlanga zonke zehlabathi, eziya kukuva konke okulungileyo endikwenzayo kuwo, zinkwantye, zigungqe ngenxa yokulunga konke, nangenxa yoxolo lonke, endiwenzela lona. |
| 10. | Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Kuya kubuva kuviwe kule ndawo, nitshoyo ukuthi, Ilinxuwa, ayinabantu, ayinankomo, emizini yakwaYuda, nasezitratweni zaseYerusalem, ekusenkangala kuzo, ezingenabantu, ezingenabemi, ezingenankomo: |
| 11. | kuviwe izwi lemihlali nezwi lemivuyo; izwi lomyeni nezwi lomtshakazi; izwi labathi, Bulelani kuYehova wemikhosi, ngokuba elungile uYehova, ngokuba ingunaphakade inceba yakhe; abazisa imibulelo endlwini kaYehova. Ngokuba ndiya kukubuyisa ukuthinjwa kwelizwe, limiwe njengokwasekuqaleni; utshilo uYehova. |
| 12. | Utsho uYehova wemikhosi ukuthi, Kule ndawo ilinxuwa, ingenamntu, ingenankomo, nasemizini yayo yonke, kuya kubuya kubekho ikriwa labalusi, ababuthela imihlambi yabo kulo. |
| 13. | Emizini yasezintabeni, nasemizini yasezithabazini, nasemizini yelasezantsi, nasezweni lakwaBhenjamin, nangeenxa zonke eYerusalem, nasemizini yakwaYuda, iya kubuya igqithe imihlambi phantsi kwezandla zoyibalayo; utsho uYehova. |
| 14. | Yabona, kuza imihla, utsho uYehova, endiya kulimisa ilizwi elilungileyo, endalithethayo kwindlu kaSirayeli nakwindlu kaYuda. |
| 15. | Ngaloo mihla nangelo xesha, ndiya kumhlumisela uDavide iHlumelo loBulungisa, eliya kwenza ngokwesiko nobulungisa ezweni. |
| 16. | Ngaloo mihla lona liya kusindiswa elakwaYuda, ihlale ikholosile iYerusalem, ukubizwa kwayo kuthiwe, UYehova-ububulungisa-bethu. |
| 17. | Ngokuba utsho uYehova ukuthi, UDavide akayi kunqunyukelwa ndoda yakuhlala etroneni yendlu kaSirayeli; |
| 18. | banganqunyukelwa ndoda ababingeleli abangabaLevi, yakunyusa amadini anyukayo ebusweni bam, iqhumisele ngeminikelo yokudla, yenze imibingelelo imihla yonke. |
| 19. | Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kuYeremiya, lisithi, |
| 20. | Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Ukuba nithe nawaphula umnqophiso wam wemini, nomnqophiso wam wobusuku, ukuze kungabikho mini nabusuku ngexesha elililo: |
| 21. | woba uya kwaphulwa nawo umnqophiso wam noDavide umkhonzi wam, ukuba angabi nanyana ungukumkani etroneni yakhe; kwanabaLevi ababingeleli, abalungiselela mna. |
| 22. | Njengokuba ungenakubalwa umkhosi wezulu, ingenakulinganiselwa intlabathi yolwandle, ndiya kwenjenjalo ukuyandisa imbewu yomkhonzi wam uDavide, nabaLevi abalungiselela mna. |
| 23. | Kwafika ilizwi likaYehova kuYeremiya, lisithi, |
| 24. | Akukuboni na abakuthethayo aba bantu, besithi, Imizalwane yomibini, awayinyulayo uYehova, uyicekisile yona? Babagiba ke abam abantu, ngokokude bangabi saba luhlanga phambi kwabo. |
| 25. | Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Ukuba awumi umnqophiso wam wemini nowobusuku, ukuba imimiselo yezulu neyehlabathi andiyimisanga, |
| 26. | ndoba ndiya kuyicekisa nembewu kaYakobi noDavide umkhonzi wam; ukuba embewini yakhe ndingabi sathabatha abayilawulayo imbewu ka-Abraham noIsake noYakobi, ngokuba ndiya kukubuyisa ukuthinjwa kwabo, ndibe nemfesane kubo. |
