36 Yehoyakimu+ yabaye umwami afise imyaka 25, maze amara imyaka 11 aganza i Yeruzalemu+. Nyina yitwa Zebida, akaba yari umukobwa wa Pedaya w’i Ruma. 37 Yagumye akora ivyo Yehova abona ko ari bibi+, yigana ivyo ba sekuruza bari barakoze vyose+.

8 Mugabo ku bijanye n’izo nsukoni mbi cane ku buryo zidashobora kuribwa+, Yehova avuze ati: ‘Uko bazifata ni ko nzofata Zedekiya+ umwami w’Ubuyuda n’abatware* biwe n’abantu b’i Yeruzalemu barokotse, baba abakiri muri iki gihugu canke abari mu gihugu ca Misiri+.

37 Nuko umwami Zedekiya+ mwene Yosiya atangura kuganza mu kibanza ca Koniya*+ mwene Yehoyakimu, kuko Nebukadinezari* umwami wa Babiloni yari yamugize umwami w’Ubuyuda+. 2 Mugabo we n’abasuku biwe n’abanyagihugu ntibumvirije ivyo Yehova yavuze biciye ku muhanuzi Yeremiya.

5 Umwami Zedekiya abishura ati: «Ehe ari mu maboko yanyu, kuko ata na kimwe umwami yobabuza.»

6 Bafata rero Yeremiya bamuterera mw’itangi rya Malikiya umuhungu w’umwami, rikaba ryari mu kigo c’abarinzi+. Bamanura Yeremiya bakoresheje imigozi. Ico gihe nta mazi yari muri iryo tangi, hariyo urwondo gusa. Nuko Yeremiya atangura kunyika muri nya rwondo.

25 Nayo wewe ga mukuru wa Isirayeli w’umubisha+, wewe wakomerekejwe bimwe vyo gupfa, umusi wawe washitse, umusi w’igihano cawe ca nyuma.
