| 1. | Ilizwi le Nkosi lafika kuJeremiya ngokwesibili, esavalelwe egumeni labalindi, lathi: |
| 2. | I Nkosi eyenza umhlaba leyawubumba, yawumisa waqina, yona ethiwa yi Nkosi, ithi: |
| 3. | Ngibiza, ngizasabela, ngikutshele izinto ezinkulu ezifihlakeleyo ongazaziyo. |
| 4. | Ngoba i Nkosi, uNkulunkulu wakoIsrayeli, ithi mayelana lezindlu zalumuzi langendlu yamakhosi akoJuda. ezidilizwe ukuthi kwenziwe indawo yokuvika phambi kwamadundulu okuvimbezela laphambi kwenkemba: |
| 5. | AmaKhaladiya azafika ukulwa, azigcwalise ngezidumbu zabantu engizabatshaya ekuthukutheleni kwami lekufuthekeni kwami; ngoba lumuzi ngiwufihlele ubuso bami ngenxa yobubi babo bonke. |
| 6. | Khangela, ngizawulethela impilo enhle lokusiliswa; ngizabasilisa abantu bawo, ngibatshengise ukuphumelela lokulondoloza kwami okunengi. |
| 7. | Ngizabuyisa abathunjwa bakoJuda labakoIsrayeli, ngibamise babe njengakuqala, |
| 8. | ngibahlambulule kubo bonke ububi babo abona ngabo kimi, ngibathethelele isono sabo lobubi bokungihlamuka kwabo. |
| 9. | IJerusalema izakuba libizo elingijabulisayo, udumo lwami lokuzincoma kwami, kuzo zonke izizwe zomhlaba ezizakuzwa ngokuhle konke engibenzela khona; zizakwesaba, zithuthumele ngokuhle konke langokuphumelela konke engibenzele khona. |
| 10. | I Nkosi ithi: Kulindawo elithi iyinkangala engelamuntu lenyamazana, emizini yakoJuda lendleleni zeJerusalema eziyinkangala engelamuntu lenyamazana, kuzazwakala futhi |
| 11. | ilizwi lokuthaba lelizwi lentokozo, ilizwi lomyeni lelomakoti, lelizwi labahlabelayo lapho beletha iminikelo yabo yokubonga ethempelini lami besithi: Bongani i Nkosi yamabandla, ngoba ilungile, ngoba isihawu sayo simi kuze kube nininini. Ngoba ngizabuyisa abantu belizwe babe njengakuqala. kutsho i Nkosi. |
| 12. | I Nkosi yamabandla ithi: Kuyona le indawo eyinkangala engelamuntu lenyamazana, lemizini yonke yakhona, kuzakuba khona futhi imizi yabelusi abazaphuma kuyo lemihlambi yabo. |
| 13. | Emizini yemaqaqeni lemizini yeShefela lemizini yeningizimu, lelizweni lakoBhenjamini, ezindaweni eziseduze leJerusalema, lemizini yakoJuda, izimvu zizabuya zidlule phambi kwalabo abazibalayo, kutsho i Nkosi. |
| 14. | Khangela, insuku ziyeza, kutsho i Nkosi, lapho ngizagcwalisa isithembiso engasenza endlini yakoIsrayeli lendlini yakoJuda. |
| 15. | Ngalezonsuku langalesosikhathi ngizahlumisela uDavida uGatsha olulungileyo, oluzakwenza ukulunga lobuqotho elizweni. |
| 16. | Ngalezonsuku uJuda uzakhululwa, leJerusalema ivikeleke. Yileli ibizo elizabizwa ngalo elithi: I Nkosi ukulunga kwethu. |
| 17. | Ngoba i Nkosi ithi: UDavida kayikuswela umuntu wokuhlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sendlu kaIsrayeli, |
| 18. | lakubapristi abangamaLevi kakuyikusweleka umuntu wokutshisa iminikelo yokutshiswa phambi kwami, lokutshisa iminikelo yempuphu, lokunikela imihlatshelo insuku zonke. |
| 19. | Ilizwi le Nkosi lafika kuJeremiya lisithi: |
| 20. | I Nkosi ithi: Uba lingasephula isivumelwano sami semini lesivumelwano sami sobusuku, ukuze kungabi khona imini lobusuku ngesikhathi sakho, |
| 21. | khona lesivumelwano sami lenceku yami uDavida sizakwephulwa, ukuze angabi landodana yokubusa esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi, lesivumelwano sami labapristi abangamaLevi abangikhonzayo sizakwephulwa. |
| 22. | Njengoba amabutho amazulu engebalwe, letshebetshebe lolwandle lingalinganiseki, ngokunjalo ngizakwandisa inzalo kaDavida inceku yami labapristi abangamaLevi abangikhonzayo. |
| 23. | Ilizwi le Nkosi lafika kuJeremiya lathi: |
| 24. | Kawuqaphelisanga yini abakutshoyo lababantu ukuthi: I Nkosi izilahlile indlu zombili ebizikhethile? Ngalokho-ke babadelela abantu bami, babenza bangabe besaba yisizwe emehlweni abo. |
| 25. | Itsho njalo i Nkosi: Uba isivumelwano sami singekho emini lebusuku, ngingamisanga izimiso zamazulu lomhlaba, |
| 26. | ngizalahla inzalo kaJakobe lenzalo kaDavida inceku yami, kangiyikukhetha omunye wenzalo yakhe ukuze abuse phezu kwenzalo kaAbrahama loIsaka loJakobe. Ngoba ngizabuyisa abantu babo, ngibe lesihawu kibo. |
