Jer 10 | Ndebele | STEP | Zwanini ilizwi iN kosi elikhuluma kini, lina ndlu kaIsrayeli.

1 Zwanini ilizwi iNkosi elikhuluma kini, lina ndlu kaIsrayeli. 2 Itsho njalo INkosi: Lingafundi indlela yabahedeni, lingatshaywa luvalo ngezibonakaliso zamazulu, ^a ngenxa yokuthi abahedeni bayazesaba. 3 Ngoba imikhuba yabantu iyize; ^b ngoba kuganyulwa isihlahla ehlathini, ^c umsebenzi wezandla zengcitshi, ngehloka. ^d 4 Basicecisa ngesiliva langegolide, ^e basiqinisa ngezipikili langezando, ^{f
,} ^g ukuze singazamazami. 5 Zinjengesihlahla ^h selala somsebenzi obaziweyo, ⁱ kodwa kazikhulumi; ^j kusweleka zithwalwe, ^k ngoba zingehambe; lingazesabi, ngoba zingelakwenza okubi, futhi kakukho ukwenza okuhle kuzo. ^l

6 Njengoba kungekho onjengawe, ^m Nkosi; umkhulu, lebizo lakho likhulu ngobuqhawe. ⁿ 7 Ngubani ongekwesabe, ^o wena Nkosi yezizwe? ^p ngoba kukufanele. Ngoba phakathi kwabo bonke abahlakaniphileyo bezizwe, ^q lakuyo yonke imibuso yabo, kakho onjengawe. ^r 8 Kodwa kanyekanye banjengezinyamazana ^s bayiziphukuphuku; ^t isigodo siyimfundiso sokuyize. ^u 9 Isiliva esikhandiweyo ^v silethwa sivela eTarshishi, ^w legolide livela eUfazi, ^x umsebenzi wengcitshi, ^y lowezandla zomkhandi wegolide; ^z ziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lokuyibubende izigqoko zabo; ^aa konke kungumsebenzi wabahlakaniphileyo. ^ab 10 Kodwa iNkosi inguNkulunkulu weqiniso, inguNkulunkulu ophilayo lenkosi yaphakade. ^ac Ekuthukutheleni kwayo umhlaba uyazamazama, lezizwe kazilakulumela ulaka lwayo. 11 Lizakutsho njalo kubo: Onkulunkulu abangenzanga amazulu lomhlaba ^ad bazabhubha basuke emhlabeni langaphansi kwala amazulu. ^ae 12 Owenza umhlaba ngamandla akhe, ^{af
,} ^ag wamisa ilizwe ngenhlakanipho yakhe, ^ah langokuqedisisa kwakhe wendlala amazulu. ^ai 13 Lapho ekhupha ilizwi, ^{aj
