21 Chotero Mfumu Zedekiya inalamula kuti atsekere Yeremiya m’Bwalo la Alonda+ ndipo anali kumupatsa mtanda wobulungira wa mkate tsiku ndi tsiku. Mkate umenewu unali kuchokera kumsewu wa ophika mkate+ ndipo anapitiriza kum’patsa mkatewo kufikira mkate wonse utatha mumzindamo.+ Choncho Yeremiya anapitiriza kukhala m’Bwalo la Alonda.+

2 “Yehova wanena kuti, ‘Amene adzapitirize kukhala mumzinda uno adzafa ndi lupanga,+ njala yaikulu+ kapena mliri.+ Koma amene adzadzipereke kwa Akasidi adzakhala ndi moyo. Adzapulumutsa moyo wake, sadzafa ayi.’+

12 Gawo limodzi la magawo atatu a anthu a mtundu wako adzafa ndi mliri+ ndipo adzatha ndi njala pakati pako.+ Gawo lina la magawo atatu a anthu a mtundu wako adzaphedwa ndi lupanga mokuzungulira. Gawo lomaliza la magawo atatu a anthu a mtundu wako ndidzawabalalitsira kumphepo zonse zinayi,+ ndipo ndidzawatsatira nditasolola lupanga.+

15 Lupanga+ lili panja ndipo mliri ndi njala zili mkati.+ Yemwe ali kutchire adzaphedwa ndi lupanga, ndipo amene ali mumzinda njala ndi mliri zidzawasakaza.+

21 “Chotero Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa, wanena kuti, ‘Zidzateronso ndikadzabweretsa ziweruzo zanga zinayi izi zowononga:+ lupanga, njala, zilombo zolusa zakutchire ndi mliri.+ Ndidzatumiza zimenezi mu Yerusalemu kuti zikaphemo anthu ndi ziweto.+
