YEREMIYA

1 Aya ni amagambo ya Yeremiya* umuhungu wa Hilukiya, umwe mu batambyi bo muri Anatoti,+ mu gihugu cya Benyamini. 2 Mu mwaka wa 13 w’ubutegetsi bwa Yosiya+ umuhungu wa Amoni+ umwami w’u Buyuda, Yehova yavugishije Yeremiya. 3 Yongeye kumuvugisha ku butegetsi bwa Yehoyakimu+ umuhungu wa Yosiya, umwami w’u Buyuda, kugeza ku iherezo ry’umwaka wa 11 w’ubutegetsi bwa Sedekiya+ umuhungu wa Yosiya, umwami w’u Buyuda, kugeza igihe abatuye i Yerusalemu bajyaniwe mu kindi gihugu ku ngufu, mu kwezi kwa gatanu.+

4 Yehova yavuganye nanjye arambwira ati:

Nakugize umuhanuzi wo guhanurira ibihugu.”

 7 Nuko Yehova arambwira ati:

“Wivuga uti: ‘ndacyari umwana.’

9 Nuko Yehova arambura ukuboko kwe ankora ku munwa.+ Yehova arambwira ati: “Nshyize amagambo yanjye mu kanwa kawe.+ 10 Uyu munsi nguhaye gutegeka ibihugu n’ubwami, kugira ngo urandure kandi ugushe hasi, urimbure kandi usenye, wubake kandi utere.”+

11 Yehova yongera kuvugana nanjye arambaza ati: “Yeremiya we, uri kubona iki?” Ndamusubiza nti: “Ndi kubona ishami ry’igiti cy’umuluzi.”*

12 Yehova arambwira ati: “Warebye neza, kuko ndi maso kugira ngo nkore ibyo navuze.”

13 Yehova yavuganye nanjye ku nshuro ya kabiri arambaza ati: “Uri kubona iki?” Nuko ndamusubiza nti: “Ndimo kubona inkono* irimo kubira,* kandi umunwa wayo werekeye mu majyepfo.” 14 Nuko Yehova arambwira ati:

2 Yehova yavuganye nanjye arambwira ati: 2 “Genda utangarize abaturage b’i Yerusalemu uti: ‘uku ni ko Yehova avuga ati:

 3 Yehova yabonaga ko Isirayeli ari iyera+ kandi ko ari imbuto zeze bwa mbere mu gihe cy’isarura.”’

‘Umuntu wese wari kuyirimbura, yari kubarwaho icyaha.

Ibyago byari kumugeraho.’ Ni ko Yehova avuga.”+

 5 Yehova aravuga ati:

Ariko mwaraje mwanduza igihugu cyanjye.

Mwatumye umurage wanjye uba ikintu cyo kwangwa cyane.+

 8 Abatambyi ntibigeze bavuga bati: ‘reka dusabe Yehova adufashe.’+

Abigisha Amategeko ntibigeze bamenya.

10 ‘Ariko nimwambuke mujye ku nkombe* z’i Kitimu+ maze murebe.

Nimwohereze umuntu i Kedari,+ yitegereze yitonze.

Murebe niba hari ibintu nk’ibi byigeze kubaho.

11 Ese hari igihugu cyigeze kugurana imana zacyo ibitari imana nyazo?

Nyamara abantu banjye baguranye ikuzo ryanjye ibintu bidafite akamaro.+

14 “‘Ese Isirayeli ni umugaragu? Ese ni umwana w’umugaragu wavukiye mu rugo rwa shebuja?

None se kuki yasahuwe?

15 Intare zikiri nto* ziramutontomera.+

Zarasakuje cyane.

Igihugu cye zagihinduye ahantu hateye ubwoba.

Imijyi ye yaratwitswe kugira ngo hatagira umuntu n’umwe uhatura.

16 Abaturage b’i Nofu*+ n’ab’i Tahapanesi+ barira ku ikamba ryo ku mutwe wawe.

18 None se kuki ushaka kunyura mu nzira ijya muri Egiputa?+

Ni ukugira ngo ujye kunywa amazi y’i Shihori?*

Kandi se kuki ushaka kunyura mu nzira ijya muri Ashuri?+

Ni ukugira ngo ujye kunywa amazi ya rwa Ruzi?*

Ntiwagaragaje ko untinya.’+ Ni ko Yehova nyiri ingabo, Umwami w’Ikirenga avuga.

Ariko waravuze uti: “sinzagukorera,”

21 Nari naraguteye uri umuzabibu utukura natoranyije,+ umuzabibu w’imbuto nziza.

Byagenze bite kugira ngo uhinduke, umbere amashami adakura y’umuzabibu ntazi?’+

Reba inzira yawe yo mu kibaya.

Tekereza ku byo wakoze.

Ni nde wayihagarika kandi ishaka iy’ingabo?

Iziyishaka zose ntizinanirwa.

Zizayibona ukwezi kwayo kwageze.

Ariko waravuze uti: ‘ntacyabihindura!+

27 Babwira igiti bati: ‘uri papa,’+

Bakabwira ibuye bati: ‘ni wowe wambyaye.’

Ariko njye barantaye ntibandeba.+

Kandi ubwo nibagera mu bibazo, bazambwira bati:

‘Haguruka udukize.’+

28 None se imana zawe wiremeye ziri he?+

29 Yehova arabaza ati: ‘kuki mukomeza guhangana nanjye?

Kuki mwese mwanyigometseho?+

30 Niruhirije ubusa nkubita abana banyu.+

Ntibigeze bemera igihano.+

31 Mwa bantu mwe, nimutekereze ku ijambo rya Yehova.

None se kuki aba, ni ukuvuga abantu banjye, bavuze bati: ‘dukomeje kuzerera.

Ntituzigera tugaruka aho uri.’+

Nyamara hashize iminsi myinshi cyane abantu banjye baranyibagiwe.+

33 Wa mugore we, uzi ubwenge bwo gushaka abagukunda!

Witoje gukora ibibi.+

34 Ndetse no hasi ku makanzu yawe hariho ibizinga by’amaraso y’abakene b’inzirakarengane.+

35 Ariko uravuga uti: ‘nta cyaha nakoze.

Rwose ntakindakariye.’

36 Kuki utekereza ko kuba uhuzagurika mu byo ukora nta cyo bitwaye?

3 Abantu barabaza bati: “Ese umugabo aramutse yirukanye umugore we, uwo mugore akagenda maze agashaka undi mugabo, yakongera kumugarura?”

Ese iki gihugu nticyanduye?+

 2 “Ubura amaso urebe ku dusozi turiho ubusa.

Ni he batagusambanyirije?

 4 Ariko uravuga uti:

‘Papa, uri incuti magara yo mu buto bwanjye.+

 5 Ese umuntu yakomeza kurakarira undi igihe cyose?

Ese uzakomeza kumbikira inzika kugeza iteka ryose?’

6 Ku butegetsi bw’umwami Yosiya,+ Yehova yarambwiye ati: “‘Ese wabonye ibyo Isirayeli w’umuhemu yakoze? Ajya hejuru y’umusozi wose muremure no munsi y’igiti cyose gitoshye agasambanirayo.+ 7 Na nyuma yo gukora ibyo byose, nakomeje kumubwira ngo angarukire,+ ariko ntiyangarukira. Yuda na we yakomeje kwitegereza ibyo murumuna we w’umuriganya akora.+ 8 Maze kubona ukuntu Isirayeli w’umuhemu ari umusambanyi,+ naramwirukanye,+ muha icyemezo cy’uko dutanye kubera ubusambanyi bwe. Nyamara murumuna we Yuda w’indyarya ntibyamuteye ubwoba. Na we yaragiye aba umusambanyi.+ 9 Yibwiye ko ubusambanyi bwe nta cyo butwaye, nuko akomeza kwanduza igihugu asambana n’ibiti n’amabuye.+ 10 Nubwo murumuna we Yuda w’indyarya yabonye ibyo byose, ntiyigeze angarukira abikuye ku mutima, ahubwo yarandyaryaga gusa,’ ni ko Yehova avuga.”

11 Nuko Yehova arambwira ati: “Isirayeli w’umuhemu yarushije Yuda w’indyarya gukiranuka.+ 12 Genda utangarize abo mu majyaruguru aya magambo, ubabwire uti:+

“‘Yehova aravuga ati: “yewe Isirayeli wigometse, ngarukira. Sinzakurebana uburakari kuko ndi indahemuka. Sinzakomeza kukubikira inzika igihe cyose.”+ Ni ko Yehova avuga.’+ 13 ‘Nta kindi ngusaba uretse kwemera ko uri umunyamakosa, kuko wigometse kuri Yehova Imana yawe. Wakomeje kuryamana* n’abanyamahanga,* munsi y’igiti cyose gitoshye kandi ntiwumvira ijwi ryanjye,’ ni ko Yehova avuga.”

14 Yehova aravuga ati: “Mwa bana bigometse mwe, nimungarukire, kuko ari njye shobuja.* Nzabafata, mfate umwe mu mujyi na babiri mu muryango, mbazane i Siyoni.+ 15 Nzabaha abungeri* bakora ibyo nshaka*+ kandi bazabaragiza ubumenyi n’ubushishozi.” 16 Yehova aravuga ati:+ “Muri iyo minsi muzaba benshi kandi mwere imbuto mu gihugu. Ntibazongera kuvuga bati: ‘isanduku y’isezerano rya Yehova.’ Ntibazayitekereza, habe no kuyibuka cyangwa kuyikumbura kandi ntizongera gukorwa. 17 Icyo gihe bazita Yerusalemu intebe y’ubwami ya Yehova.+ Ibihugu byose bizaza biteranire i Yerusalemu+ kugira ngo bisingize izina rya Yehova kandi ntibazongera kuyoborwa n’imitima yabo mibi itumva.”

18 “Muri iyo minsi bazagenda, abo mu muryango wa Yuda bajyane n’abo mu muryango wa Isirayeli+ maze bose hamwe bave mu gihugu cyo mu majyaruguru bajye mu gihugu nahaye ba sogokuruza banyu ngo kibabere umurage.+ 19 Naratekereje nti: ‘mbega ukuntu nagushyize mu bandi bana, nkaguha igihugu cyiza, igihugu cyiza kurusha ibindi bihugu!’*+ Narongeye ndatekereza nti: “muzanyita Papa wanyu” kandi ntimuzareka kunkurikira.’ 20 Yehova aravuga ati: ‘nk’uko umugore ahemukira umugabo we* akamuta, ni ko namwe abo mu muryango wa Isirayeli mwampemukiye.’”+

22 “Nimungarukire mwa bana bigometse mwe.

Nzabakiza kwigomeka kwanyu.”+

23 Ni ukuri, udusozi n’urusaku rwo ku misozi, ni ubusa.+

Rwose, Yehova Imana yacu ni we gakiza ka Isirayeli.+

3 Yehova yabwiye abantu b’i Buyuda n’i Yerusalemu ati:

 5 Mubivuge mu Buyuda, mubitangaze i Yerusalemu.

Musakuze kandi muvuze ihembe mu gihugu hose.+

 6 Mushinge ikimenyetso* cyerekeye i Siyoni.

Mushake aho mwihisha kandi ntimugume hamwe.”

Kuko ngiye guteza ibyago biturutse mu majyaruguru,+ irimbuka rikomeye.

 7 Yaje ameze nk’intare iturutse mu gihuru yari yihishemo.+

Usenya ibihugu yamaze kuza.+

Yavuye iwe azanywe no guhindura igihugu cyawe ikintu giteye ubwoba.

Imijyi yawe izasenywa ku buryo izasigara nta bantu bayituyemo.+

10 Nuko ndavuga nti: “Yehova Mwami w’Ikirenga! Ni ukuri wabeshye aba bantu+ na Yerusalemu, uti: ‘muzagira amahoro,’+ none dore inkota iri ku majosi yacu.”*

11 Icyo gihe bazabwira abo bantu na Yerusalemu bati:

Si umuyaga wo kugosora cyangwa gusukura.

12 Umuyaga uhuha cyane uje uturutse muri ibyo bice kuko ari njye ubitegetse.

Ubu rero, ngiye gutangaza imanza nabaciriye.

Amafarashi ye arihuta cyane kurusha ibisiga bya kagoma.+

Tugushije ishyano kuko turimbutse.

14 Yerusalemu we, sukura umutima wawe, uwukuremo ibibi byose kugira ngo urokoke.+

Uzakomeza kugira ibitekerezo bibi kugeza ryari?

16 Nimubivuge; yego, nimubibwire ibihugu.

Mubitangarize Yerusalemu.”

18 “Imyifatire yawe n’ibikorwa byawe ni byo bizatuma uhanwa.+

19 Mbega agahinda,* mbega agahinda!

Mfite umubabaro mwinshi mu mutima wanjye!*

Umutima wanjye wambujije amahoro.

Ni abana b’abaswa, badatekereza.

23 Nitegereje igihugu mbona kirimo ubusa kandi kitagituwe.+

Nitegereje ijuru mbona urumuri rwaryo ntirukiriho.+

30 None se ko urimbuwe uzabigenza ute?

Avuga ateze ibiganza ati:+

“Ngushije ishyano, kuko naniwe cyane* bitewe n’abicanyi!”

5 Nimugende munyure mu mihanda yose y’i Yerusalemu.

Murebe ahantu hose mubyitondeye.

Ibyo bizatuma mbabarira uyu mujyi.

 2 Niyo bavuga bati: “Ndahiriye imbere ya Yehova,”

Baba barahiye ibinyoma.+

 3 Yehova, ese amaso yawe ntiyishimira kureba ubudahemuka?+

Warabakubise, ariko nta cyo byabatwaye.*

Warabarimbuye, ariko banze kubivanamo isomo.+

 4 Ariko naribwiye nti: “Ni abantu batagize icyo bavuze rwose.

Usohotse wese imucamo ibice.

 7 Nahera he nkubabarira ibyo bintu?

 8 Bameze nk’amafarashi ashaka ingore, afite irari ryinshi.

Buri wese ashaka umugore wa mugenzi we, afite irari ryinshi.+

 9 Yehova aravuga ati: “Ese sinkwiriye kubabaza ibyo bakora?

Ese sinkwiriye kwihorera* ku gihugu kimeze gityo?”+

12 “Bihakanye Yehova, bakomeza kuvuga bati:

Na bo bazamera batyo.”

14 Ubwo rero, Yehova Imana nyiri ingabo aravuga ati:

15 Yehova aravuga ati: “Yemwe abo mu muryango wa Isirayeli mwe,+ ngiye kubateza igihugu cya kure.

16 Igikoresho cyabo batwaramo imyambi kimeze nk’imva irangaye.

Bose ni abarwanyi.

17 Bazarya ibyo mwasaruye byose n’ibyokurya byanyu.+

Bazarya abahungu banyu n’abakobwa banyu bose.

Imijyi yanyu mwiringira ikikijwe n’inkuta, bazayirimbuza inkota. ”

18 Yehova aravuga ati: “Ariko no muri iyo minsi, sinzabarimbura burundu.+ 19 Nibabaza bati: ‘ni iki cyatumye Yehova Imana yacu adukorera ibi byose?’ Uzabasubize uti: ‘nk’uko mwantaye, mugakorera imana z’amahanga mu gihugu cyanyu, ni ko muzakorera abanyamahanga mu gihugu kitari icyanyu.’”+

21 “Nimwumve mwa baswa batagira ubwenge mwe:*+

22 Yehova aravuga ati: ‘ese nta nubwo muntinya?

Ese ntimwagombye gutitira muri imbere yanjye?

23 Ariko aba bantu bafite umutima utumva kandi wigomeka.

Bavuye mu nzira yanjye bakomeza kugendera mu nzira yabo.+

24 Ntibavuga mu mitima yabo bati:

26 Mu bantu banjye harimo ababi.

Bakomeza gucungacunga nk’abatezi b’inyoni basutamye.

Ni yo mpamvu babaye abantu bakomeye n’abakire.

28 Barabyibushye kandi bafite umubiri unoze.

Bakora ibibi birengeje urugero.

Barenganya umukene.’”+

29 Yehova aravuga ati: “Ese sinkwiriye kubabaza ibyo bakora?

Ese sinkwiriye kwihorera* ku gihugu kimeze gityo?

30 Iki gihugu cyabayemo ibintu biteye ubwoba kandi biteye agahinda:

Abantu banjye bishimira ko bikomeza kugenda bityo.+

None se, muzabigenza mute ko iherezo rigiye kugera?”

6 Mwe abakomoka kuri Benyamini, nimuve muri Yerusalemu mushake aho mwihisha.

 2 Umukobwa w’i Siyoni asa n’umugore mwiza kandi w’umutesi.+

 6 Yehova nyiri ingabo aravuga ati:

“Muteme ibiti, mwubake ibyo kuririraho muteye Yerusalemu.+

Urugomo no gusenya byuzuye muri we.+

Indwara n’icyago bihora imbere yanjye.

 8 Yerusalemu we, emera inama ugiriwe nibitaba ibyo nkwange.*+

Nzagusenya uhinduke igihugu kidatuwe.”+

 9 Yehova nyiri ingabo aravuga ati:

“Bazahumba* abasigaye bo muri Isirayeli babamareho, nk’uko bahumba imizabibu yasigaye ku giti.

Ongera unyuze ikiganza mu giti cy’imizabibu, nk’uko umuntu usoroma imizabibu abigenza.”

10 “Ni nde nabwira kandi nkamugira inama?

Ni nde uzanyumva?

Amatwi yabo ntiyumva,* ku buryo badashobora kwita ku byo babwirwa.+

14 Bagerageza kuvura igikomere* cy’abantu banjye bavura inyuma gusa,* bakavuga bati:

‘Hari amahoro! Hari amahoro!’

Kandi nta mahoro ariho.+

15 Ese bumva bafite isoni bitewe n’ibintu byangwa bakoze?

Ni yo mpamvu bazagwa mu bamaze kugwa.

Nimbahana bazasitara.” Ni ko Yehova avuga.

16 Yehova aravuga ati:

“Muhagarare aho imihanda ihurira maze murebe.

Ariko baravuga bati: “Ntituzayinyuramo.”+

17 “Nabashyiriyeho umurinzi+ uvuga ati:

‘Mwumve ijwi ry’ihembe!’”+

Ariko baravuga bati: “Ntituzaryumva.”+

18 “None rero mwa bihugu mwe, nimwumve!

19 Wa si we, tega amatwi.

21 Ni yo mpamvu Yehova avuga ati:

22 Yehova aravuga ati:

23 Bazaza bafite umuheto n’icumu.

Ni abagome kandi nta muntu bazagirira impuhwe.

Biteguye urugamba nk’umugabo w’intwari kugira ngo bakurwanye, wowe mukobwa w’i Siyoni we.”

24 Twumvise bavuga ibyabo.

Amaboko yacu yacitse intege.+

Atera ubwoba ahantu hose.

Ugomba kubigenzura ubyitondeye kandi ukamenya ibyo bakora.

Bose bakora ibibi.

29 Umukozi akoresha imbaraga kugira ngo atunganye icyuma.

Yakomeje guhungiza umuriro kugeza ubwo ibintu akoresha ahungiza byahiriye, ariko nta cyo byatanze.

Nta kindi kivamo uretse icyuma kidakomeye.*+

Abantu babi ntibigeze bakurwa mu bantu banjye.+

7 Aya ni yo magambo Yehova yabwiye Yeremiya. Yaramubwiye ati: 2 “Hagarara mu irembo ry’inzu ya Yehova, utangaze ubu butumwa uti: ‘bantu b’i Buyuda mwese, nimwumve ijambo rya Yehova, mwe mwinjira muri aya marembo muje kunamira Yehova. 3 Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli aravuga ati: “muhindure imyifatire yanyu n’ibyo mukora, nanjye nzatuma mukomeza gutura aha hantu.+ 4 Ntimukiringire amagambo y’ibinyoma, ngo muvuge muti: ‘uru* ni urusengero rwa Yehova, urusengero rwa Yehova, urusengero rwa Yehova!’+ 5 Mu by’ukuri nimuhindura imyifatire yanyu n’ibikorwa byanyu, mugakurikiza ubutabera by’ukuri mu gihe umuntu afitanye ikibazo na mugenzi we,+ 6 nimutagirira nabi umuntu wavuye mu kindi gihugu, imfubyi* n’umupfakazi,+ ntimumenere amaraso y’inzirakarengane aha hantu kandi ntimukurikire izindi mana kugira ngo mwiteze ibindi byago,+ 7 nanjye nzabemerera gukomeza gutura aha hantu, mu gihugu nahaye ba sogokuruza banyu, muhature igihe cyose.”’”*

8 “Ariko mwiringira amagambo y’ibinyoma+ kandi rwose nta cyo azabamarira. 9 Ese mwakwiba,+ mukica, mugasambana, mukarahira ibinyoma,+ mugatambira Bayali ibitambo*+ kandi mugakurikira izindi mana mutigeze mumenya, 10 maze mukaza mugahagarara imbere yanjye muri iyi nzu yitirirwa izina ryanjye, mukavuga muti: ‘tuzakizwa,’ kandi mukora ibyo bintu byose nanga? 11 Kuki mubona ko iyi nzu yitirirwa izina ryanjye, ikwiriye kuba aho abambuzi bihisha?+ Nabonye ko ari ko mubibona,” ni ko Yehova avuga.

12 “‘Ariko noneho nimugende, mujye ahahoze ari iwanjye i Shilo,+ aho izina ryanjye ryabanje kuba,+ murebe uko nahagize bitewe n’ubugome bw’abantu banjye, ni ukuvuga Abisirayeli.+ 13 Nyamara mwakomeje gukora ibyo bintu byose, nubwo nababwiye inshuro nyinshi,* ariko ntimunyumve.+ Nakomeje kubahamagara ariko ntimwitabe.’+ Ni ko Yehova avuga. 14 ‘Ubwo rero iyi nzu mwiringira+ yitirirwa izina ryanjye,+ n’aha hantu nabahaye mwe na ba sogokuruza banyu, nzahagira nk’uko nagize i Shilo.+ 15 Nzabirukana mumve imbere, nk’uko nirukanye abavandimwe banyu bose, abakomoka kuri Efurayimu bose.’+

16 “Ariko wowe, ntusenge usabira aba bantu. Ntutabaze cyangwa ngo unsenge cyangwa ngo unyinginge kubera bo,+ kuko ntazakumva.+ 17 Ese ntubona ibyo bakorera mu mijyi y’u Buyuda no mu mihanda y’i Yerusalemu? 18 Abana batora inkwi, abagabo bagacana umuriro, n’abagore bagaponda ifu kugira ngo bakore imigati yo gutambira ‘Umwamikazi wo mu Ijuru;’*+ basukira izindi mana ituro ry’ibyokunywa kugira ngo bandakaze.+ 19 Yehova arabaza ati: ‘ubwo se ni njye bababaza?* Ese si bo bibabaza kandi bakikoza isoni?’+ 20 Ni yo mpamvu Umwami w’Ikirenga Yehova avuga ati: ‘ngiye gusuka uburakari bwanjye n’umujinya wanjye aha hantu,+ ku bantu, ku matungo, ku biti byo mu gasozi no ku byera mu butaka. Uburakari bwanjye buzagurumana nk’umuriro kandi nta wuzabuzimya.’+

21 “Yehova nyiri ingabo, Imana ya Isirayeli aravuga ati: ‘ngaho ibitambo byanyu bitwikwa n’umuriro, mubyongereho ibindi bitambo maze mwirire inyama.+ 22 Ku munsi navanaga ba sogokuruza banyu mu gihugu cya Egiputa, sinigeze mvugana na bo cyangwa ngo ngire ikintu mbategeka ku bijyanye n’ibitambo bitwikwa n’umuriro n’ibindi bitambo.+ 23 Ahubwo nabahaye iri tegeko: “munyumvire, nzaba Imana yanyu, namwe mube abanjye.+ Muzagendere mu nzira zose nzabereka kugira ngo mumererwe neza.”’+ 24 Ariko ntibigeze bumva cyangwa ngo batege amatwi,+ ahubwo bakomeje gukurikiza imigambi yabo mibi,* bayoborwa n’imitima yabo mibi itumva+ kandi basubira inyuma aho kujya imbere, 25 uhereye umunsi ba sogokuruza banyu baviriye mu gihugu cya Egiputa kugeza uyu munsi.+ Ni yo mpamvu nakomeje kubatumaho abagaragu banjye bose b’abahanuzi, nkabohereza buri munsi kandi nkabikora kenshi.*+ 26 Ariko banze kunyumva kandi ntibantega amatwi.+ Bakomeje kwanga kumva,* kandi bakora ibibi birenze ibyo ba sekuruza bakoze.

27 “Uzababwira ayo magambo yose,+ ariko ntibazakumva. Uzabahamagara, ariko ntibazakwitaba. 28 Uzababwire uti: ‘iki ni igihugu cy’abantu banze kumvira Yehova Imana yabo, banga no kwemera igihano. Nta muntu n’umwe ukiri indahemuka kandi nta nubwo bavuga iby’ubudahemuka.’*+

29 “Iyogoshe umusatsi wawe utarigeze wogoshwa* uwumareho maze uwujugunye, uririmbire indirimbo y’agahinda ku dusozi turiho ubusa, kuko Yehova yanze aba bantu bamurakaje kandi azabata. 30 Yehova aravuga ati: ‘abantu bo mu Buyuda, bakoze ibyo nanga. Bashyize ibigirwamana byabo biteye iseseme mu nzu yitirirwa izina ryanjye kugira ngo bayihumanye.+ 31 Bubatse ahantu hirengeye i Tofeti mu Kibaya cy’Umuhungu wa Hinomu,*+ kugira ngo bahatwikire abahungu babo n’abakobwa babo,+ icyo kikaba ari ikintu ntigeze mbategeka kandi ntigeze ntekereza.’*+

32 “Yehova aravuga ati: ‘ku bw’ibyo rero, igihe kigiye kugera, ubwo hatazongera kwitwa Tofeti n’Ikibaya cy’Umuhungu wa Hinomu, ahubwo hakitwa Ikibaya cyo Kwiciramo; kandi bazahamba i Tofeti hababane hato.+ 33 Inyoni zo mu kirere n’inyamaswa zo mu gasozi, zizarya intumbi z’abo bantu kandi nta wuzabikanga.+ 34 Nzatuma ijwi ry’ibyishimo, ijwi ry’umunezero, ijwi ry’umukwe n’ijwi ry’umugeni,+ bishira mu mijyi y’u Buyuda no mu mihanda y’i Yerusalemu kuko igihugu kizahinduka amatongo gusa.’”+

8 Yehova aravuga ati: “Icyo gihe bazavana mu mva amagufwa y’abami b’u Buyuda, ay’abatware, ay’abatambyi, ay’abahanuzi n’ay’abaturage b’i Yerusalemu. 2 Bazayanyanyagiza hanze ku zuba no ku kwezi n’imbere y’ingabo zose zo mu kirere* bakundaga, bakazikorera, bakazikurikira, bakazishakisha kandi bakazunamira.+ Ntazashyirwa hamwe cyangwa ngo ashyingurwe, ahubwo azaba nk’ifumbire y’ubutaka.”+

3 Yehova nyiri ingabo aravuga ati: “Icyo gihe abarokotse bo muri uyu muryango mubi, bazaba bari mu duce twose nabatatanyirijemo, bazahitamo urupfu aho guhitamo ubuzima.”

4 “Uzababwire uti: ‘Yehova arabaza ati:

“Ese bazagwa ntibongere guhaguruka?

Ese umwe aramutse agarutse, undi na we ntiyagaruka?

 5 Kuki aba bantu b’i Yerusalemu bahora ari abahemu?

 6 Naritonze nkomeza gutega amatwi, ariko ibyo bavugaga ntibyari bikwiriye.

Nta n’umwe wihanaga ibibi bye, ngo yibaze ati: ‘ibi nakoze ni ibiki?’+

Buri wese akomeza gukora nk’ibyo abandi bakora, nk’ifarashi yiruka cyane igiye ku rugamba.

 7 Ndetse n’igishondabagabo* kimenya igihe cyagenwe kigomba kugurukira.*

Intungura* n’intashya n’izindi nyoni zigaruka ku gihe cyagenwe.*

Icyakora abantu banjye bo, ntibasobanukiwe urubanza Yehova yabaciriye.”’+

11 Aya ni yo magambo Yehova yabwiye Yeremiya. Yaramubwiye ati: 2 “Mwa bantu mwe, mwumve amagambo y’iri sezerano:

“Uzayabwire* abantu b’i Buyuda n’abaturage b’i Yerusalemu, 3 ubabwire uti: ‘Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli aravuga ati: “umuntu utumvira amagambo y’iri sezerano avumwe,*+ 4 ayo nategetse ba sogokuruza banyu, umunsi nabakuraga mu gihugu cya Egiputa,+ mu ruganda rushongesha ubutare,*+ nkababwira nti: ‘mwumvire ijwi ryanjye kandi mujye mukora ibyo mbategeka byose. Nimubikora, muzaba abanjye, nanjye nzaba Imana yanyu,+ 5 kugira ngo nkore ibyo narahiriye ba sogokuruza banyu, ko nzabaha igihugu gitemba amata n’ubuki+ nk’uko bimeze uyu munsi.’”’”

Nuko ndasubiza nti: “Yehova, bibe bityo.”*

6 Yehova yongera kumbwira ati: “Genda utangarize ayo magambo yose mu mijyi y’i Buyuda no mu mihanda y’i Yerusalemu uti: ‘nimwumve amagambo y’iri sezerano kandi mujye muyakurikiza. 7 Kuko nihanangirije ba sogokuruza banyu umunsi nabakuraga mu gihugu cya Egiputa kugeza uyu munsi, nkababwira inshuro nyinshi* nti: “mwumvire ijwi ryanjye.”+ 8 Ariko ntibigeze bumva cyangwa ngo batege amatwi; ahubwo buri wese yakomeje kugenda ayobowe n’umutima we mubi utumva.+ Ni yo mpamvu natumye ibivugwa mu magambo yose y’iri sezerano bibageraho, ibyo nabategetse kubahiriza kandi bakanga kubikurikiza.’”

9 Nuko Yehova arambwira ati: “Hari ubugambanyi mu bantu b’i Buyuda no mu baturage b’i Yerusalemu. 10 Basubiye mu byaha ba sekuruza bakoze kera, bo banze kumvira amagambo yanjye.+ Na bo bumviye izindi mana kandi barazikorera.+ Abo mu muryango wa Isirayeli n’abo mu muryango wa Yuda, bishe isezerano nari narasezeranye na ba sekuruza.+ 11 Ni yo mpamvu Yehova avuga ati: ‘dore ngiye kubateza ibyago+ batazabasha kwikiza. Bazantabaza ngo mbafashe ariko sinzabumva.+ 12 Icyo gihe abo mu mijyi y’i Buyuda n’abaturage b’i Yerusalemu bazajya kureba imana batambira ibitambo,* maze bazisabe ko zibafasha,+ ariko ntizizabakiza na gato igihe bazaba bageze mu byago. 13 Yewe Yuda we, imana zawe ni nyinshi nk’uko imijyi yawe na yo ari myinshi kandi wubakiye ikintu giteye isoni* ibicaniro byinshi, binganya ubwinshi n’imihanda yo muri Yerusalemu, ibicaniro byo gutambiraho ibitambo bya Bayali.’+

14 “Ariko wowe* ntusenge usabira aba bantu. Ntutabaze cyangwa ngo usenge kubera bo,+ kuko nibantabaza bageze mu byago ntazabumva.

Ese ibyago nibiza bagatamba inyama zejejwe,* bizatuma ibyo byago bitakugeraho?*

Ese icyo gihe uzishima?

17 “Yehova nyiri ingabo, ari na we waguteye,+ yavuze ko ibyago bikomeye bizakugeraho bitewe n’ibibi abo mu muryango wa Isirayeli n’abo mu muryango wa Yuda bakoze, bakaba barambabaje, batambira Bayali ibitambo.”+

18 Yehova, wamenyesheje ibyarimo biba.

Icyo gihe watumye mbona ibyo bakoraga.

20 Ariko Yehova nyiri ingabo aca imanza zikiranuka.

Agenzura umutima n’ibitekerezo by’imbere cyane.*+

21 Ni yo mpamvu Yehova avuga ku bantu bo muri Anatoti+ bashaka kukwica,* bavuga bati: “Reka guhanura mu izina rya Yehova+ cyangwa tuzakwice.” 22 Ubwo rero Yehova nyiri ingabo aravuga ati: “Dore ngiye kubabaza ibyo bakoze. Abasore bazicwa n’inkota+ kandi abahungu babo n’abakobwa babo bazicwa n’inzara.+ 23 Muri bo nta n’umwe uzasigara, kuko nzateza ibyago abo muri Anatoti+ mu mwaka nzababarizamo ibyo bakoze.”

 2 Warabateye kandi bazana imizi.

Bakomeje gukura kandi bera imbuto.

Bakuvugirije induru.

Nta muntu n’umwe ufite amahoro.

13 Bateye ingano ariko basarura amahwa.+

Barinanije cyane ariko nta cyo byabamariye.

14 Yehova aravuga ati: “Abaturanyi banjye bose babi, batera akarere nahaye abantu banjye ari bo Bisirayeli,+ ngiye kubarandura mbavane mu gihugu cyabo+ kandi nzarandura umuryango wa Yuda nywuvane hagati muri bo. 15 Ariko nimara kubarandura, nzongera mbagirire imbabazi maze mbagarure, buri wese musubize mu murage we no mu gihugu cye.”

16 “Nibiga kubaho nk’uko abantu banjye babaho, bakiga no kurahira mu izina ryanjye bati: ‘ndahiriye imbere ya Yehova!,’ nk’uko bigishije abantu banjye kurahira mu izina rya Bayali, icyo gihe bazahabwa umwanya mu bantu banjye. 17 Ariko nibatumvira, nanjye nzarandura abatuye icyo gihugu, nimara kubarandura mbarimbure,” ni ko Yehova avuga.+

13 Yehova yarambwiye ati: “Genda ugure umukandara uboshywe mu budodo, uwukenyere, ariko ntuzigere uwushyira mu mazi.” 2 Nuko ngura umukandara nk’uko Yehova yari yabimbwiye, ndawukenyera. 3 Yehova arongera arambwira ku nshuro ya kabiri ati: 4 “Fata wa mukandara waguze, ukaba uwambaye, uhaguruke ugende ujye ku Ruzi rwa Ufurate maze uwuhisheyo mu mwobo uri mu rutare.” 5 Nuko ndagenda nywuhisha ku ruzi rwa Ufurate nk’uko Yehova yari yabintegetse.

6 Ariko hashize iminsi myinshi, Yehova arambwira ati: “Haguruka ujye ku ruzi rwa Ufurate, ufate wa mukandara nagutegetse guhishayo.” 7 Nuko njya ku ruzi rwa Ufurate ndacukura, mvana wa mukandara aho nari narawuhishe maze nsanga warangiritse nta cyo ukimaze.

8 Hanyuma Yehova aramvugisha. 9 Arambwira ati: “Yehova aravuga ati: ‘uku ni ko nzarimbura ubwibone bwa Yuda n’ubwibone bwinshi bwa Yerusalemu.+ 10 Aba bantu babi banga kumvira amagambo yanjye,+ bagakomeza kuyoborwa n’imitima yabo mibi itumva,+ bakumvira izindi mana, bakazikorera kandi bakazunamira, bazamera nk’uyu mukandara utagifite icyo umaze.’ 11 Yehova aravuga ati: ‘nk’uko umukandara ufata mu nda y’umuntu uwambaye, ni ko natumye abagize umuryango wa Isirayeli bose n’abagize umuryango wa Yuda bose bafatana nanjye, kugira ngo babe abantu banjye,+ bambere ikintu cyiza, gituma menyekana+ kandi kigatuma abantu bansingiza. Ariko ntibanyumviye.’+

12 “Nanone uzababwire uti: ‘uku ni ko Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli avuga ati: “ikibindi cyose kinini cyagombye kuzuzwamo divayi.”’ Na bo bazagusubiza bati: ‘natwe tuzi neza ko ikibindi kinini cyose cyuzuzwamo divayi.’ 13 Uzongere ubabwire uti: ‘Yehova aravuga ati: “ngiye gusindisha abaturage bo muri iki gihugu bose+ n’abami bicara ku ntebe y’ubwami ya Dawidi, abatambyi, abahanuzi n’abaturage bose b’i Yerusalemu. 14 Nzabamenagurira icyarimwe, umwe muhonda ku wundi kandi ibyo nzakorera abana ni byo nzakorera ba papa babo,” ni ko Yehova avuga.+ “Sinzabagirira impuhwe cyangwa ngo numve banteye agahinda cyangwa ngo mbagirire imbabazi. Nta kintu na kimwe kizambuza kubarimbura.”’+

15 Nimutege amatwi kandi mwumve.

Ntimwiyemere kuko Yehova yavuze.

Uwo mucyo azawuhindura umwijima mwinshi cyane.+

19 Imijyi yo mu majyepfo irakinze* ku buryo nta muntu uhari wo kuyikingura.

Ab’i Buyuda bose bajyanywe mu kindi gihugu ku ngufu. Barajyanywe ntihagira umuntu n’umwe usigara.+

20 Ubura amaso yawe urebe abaje baturuka mu majyaruguru.+

Ya matungo baguhaye, za ntama nziza ziri he?+

Ese ntuzafatwa n’ububabare nk’ubw’umugore urimo abyara?+

22 Kandi niwibwira mu mutima wawe uti: ‘kuki ibi byose byangezeho?’+

23 Ese Umukushi* yahindura ibara ry’uruhu rwe, cyangwa ingwe yahindura amabara yayo?+

24 Nzabatatanya nk’ibyatsi bitwawe n’umuyaga wo mu butayu.+

Uzahura n’ibyago Yerusalemu we!

Uzakomeza guhumana kugeza ryari?”+

14 Ibi ni byo Yehova yabwiye Yeremiya ku birebana n’amapfa:+

 2 Mu Buyuda bararira cyane+ kandi amarembo yaho yaraguye.

 3 Abakoresha bohereje abagaragu* babo kuvoma.

Bagiye ku migezi* bahageze babura amazi.

Bagarutse ibyo bagiye kuvomesha birimo ubusa.

 6 Indogobe zo mu gasozi zihagaze ku misozi iriho ubusa.

Zirahumekera hejuru nk’ingunzu.

Amaso yazo arananiwe bitewe no kubura ubwatsi.+

10 Dore ibyo Yehova yavuze kuri aba bantu: “Bakunda kuzerera.+ Ibirenge byabo ntibijya biguma hamwe.+ Ni cyo gituma Yehova atabishimira.+ Ubu noneho agiye kwibuka amakosa yabo, ababaze ibyaha bakoze.”+

11 Nuko Yehova arambwira ati: “Uramenye ntusenge usabira aba bantu ibyiza.+ 12 Iyo bigomwe kurya no kunywa* sinumva ibyo bavuga banyinginga+ kandi iyo batambye ibitambo bitwikwa n’umuriro n’ituro ry’ibinyampeke, simbyishimira.+ Nzabarimbura nkoresheje intambara,* inzara n’icyorezo.”*+

13 Nuko ndavuga nti: “Yehova Mwami w’Ikirenga! Dore abahanuzi barababwira bati: ‘nta ntambara cyangwa inzara bizabageraho, ahubwo nzatuma mugira amahoro nyayo aha hantu.’”+

14 Yehova arongera arambwira ati: “Abo bahanuzi bahanura ibinyoma mu izina ryanjye.+ Sinabatumye, nta n’icyo nabategetse kandi sinigeze mvugana na bo.+ Babahanurira bababwira ibyo beretswe by’ibinyoma, bakabaragurira bababwira ibintu bidafite akamaro kandi bakabahanurira bababwira ibintu bihimbiye.*+ 15 Ni yo mpamvu Yehova avuga ati: ‘abahanuzi bahanura mu izina ryanjye kandi ntarabatumye, bakavuga ko nta ntambara cyangwa inzara bizatera muri iki gihugu, bazarimburwa n’intambara n’inzara.+ 16 Abo bahanurira bazicwa n’intambara n’inzara, imirambo yabo irambarare mu mihanda y’i Yerusalemu kandi bo n’abagore babo n’abahungu babo n’abakobwa babo nta wuzabahamba,+ kuko nzabateza ibyago bibakwiriye.’+

17 “Uzababwire uti:

Abahanuzi n’abatambyi bose bagiye mu gihugu batazi.’”+

19 Ese wataye u Buyuda burundu cyangwa wazinutswe* Siyoni?+

Kuki wadukubise ku buryo tudashobora gukira?+

Ibuka isezerano wagiranye natwe kandi nturyice.+

22 Ese mu bigirwamana bitagira akamaro byo mu bihugu, hari icyagusha imvura?

Ese ijuru ubwaryo ryashobora kugusha imvura?

Yehova Mana yacu, ese si wowe ukora ibintu nk’ibyo?+

15 Yehova arambwira ati: “Niyo Mose na Samweli bahagarara imbere yanjye,+ sinagirira impuhwe aba bantu.* Birukane bamve imbere; nibagende. 2 Nibakubaza bati: ‘turajya he?’ Ubasubize uti: ‘Yehova aravuze ati:

“Ugomba kwicwa n’icyorezo cy’indwara yica, yicwe n’icyorezo!

Ugomba kwicwa n’inkota, yicwe n’inkota!+

Ugomba kwicwa n’inzara, yicwe n’inzara!

Kandi ugomba kujyanwa mu kindi gihugu ku ngufu, azajyanwayo ku ngufu!”’+

3 “Yehova aravuga ati: ‘nzabateza ibyago bine,*+ ni ukuvuga inkota yo kubica, imbwa zo kubakurubana, ibisiga byo mu kirere n’inyamaswa zo ku isi kugira ngo bibarye kandi bibarimbure.+ 4 Nzabahindura ikintu gitera ubwoba ubwami bwose bwo mu isi,+ bitewe n’ibyo Manase, umuhungu wa Hezekiya umwami w’u Buyuda, yakoreye muri Yerusalemu.+

 5 Yerusalemu we, ni nde uzakugirira impuhwe?

 6 Yehova aravuga ati: ‘warantaye.+

Ukomeza kuntera umugongo* ukigendera.+

Ni yo mpamvu nzarambura ukuboko kwanjye kugira ngo nguhane kandi nkurimbure.+

Ndambiwe guhora nkugirira impuhwe.*

 7 Nzabagosora nk’uko bagosorera imyaka mu marembo y’igihugu.

Nzica abana babo mbamare.+

 8 Abapfakazi babo bazambera benshi kuruta umucanga wo ku nyanja.

Nzabateza umurimbuzi ku manywa, arimbure abasore na ba mama babo.

Mu buryo butunguranye nzatuma babura amahoro kandi bagire ubwoba.

 9 Yehova aravuga ati: “umugore wabyaye abana barindwi yarananiwe.

Ahumeka bimugoye.

11 Yehova yaravuze ati: “Rwose nzagukorera ibyiza.

Uziture abantoteza.+

Ntubihanganire batazanyica.

Umenye ko bantuka kubera wowe.+

17 Sinicaranye n’abantu bakunda ibirori ngo nishimishe.+

18 Kuki nkomeza kugira ububabare n’igikomere cyanjye ntigikire?

Cyanze gukira.

19 Ni cyo gituma Yehova avuga ati:

20 Yehova aravuga ati: “Nkugize nk’urukuta rukomeye rw’umuringa muri aba bantu.+

16 Yehova yongera kuvugana nanjye arambwira ati: 2 “Ntuzashakire umugore aha hantu cyangwa ngo uhabyarire abahungu n’abakobwa. 3 Kuko Yehova yavuze ibizaba ku bahungu n’abakobwa bavukira aha hantu no kuri ba mama babo na ba papa babo bababyarira muri iki gihugu, ati: 4 ‘bazicwa n’indwara zikomeye+ kandi nta wuzabaririra cyangwa ngo abashyingure bazamera nk’ifumbire iri ku butaka.+ Bazicwa n’inkota n’inzara+ kandi intumbi zabo zizaribwa n’ibisiga byo mu kirere n’inyamaswa zo ku isi.’

 5 Yehova aravuga ati:

 6 Abakomeye n’aboroheje, bose bazapfira muri iki gihugu.

9 “Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli aravuga ati: ‘ngiye gutuma ijwi ryo kwishima n’ijwi ryo kunezerwa, ijwi ry’umukwe n’ijwi ry’umugeni, bitongera kumvikana aha hantu. Nzabikora mubireba kandi mukiriho.’+

10 “Nubwira aba bantu aya magambo yose bazakubaza bati: ‘kuki Yehova yavuze ko azaduteza ibyo byago byose bikomeye, ni irihe kosa cyangwa icyaha twakoreye Yehova Imana yacu?’+ 11 Uzabasubize uti: ‘Yehova aravuga ati: “byatewe n’uko ba sogokuruza banyu bantaye,+ bagakomeza kumvira izindi mana, bakazikorera kandi bakazunamira.+ Ariko njye barantaye kandi ntibumvira amategeko yanjye.+ 12 Nanone mwakoze ibibi birenze ibyo ba sogokuruza banyu bakoze.+ Aho kunyumvira, buri wese muri mwe akomeza kugenda ayobowe n’umutima we mubi kandi utumva.+ 13 Ubwo rero nzabavana muri iki gihugu, mbajugunye mu gihugu mwe na ba sogokuruza banyu mutigeze kumenya+ kandi nimugerayo muzakorera izindi mana ku manywa na nijoro,+ kuko ntazabagirira impuhwe.”’

14 “‘Ariko nanone Yehova aravuga ati: “hari igihe kizagera, abantu ntibongere kuvuga bati: ‘ndahiriye imbere ya Yehova, Imana yavanye Abisirayeli mu gihugu cya Egiputa!’+ 15 Ahubwo bazavuga bati: ‘ndahiriye imbere ya Yehova, Imana yavanye Abisirayeli mu gihugu cyo mu majyaruguru no mu bihugu byose yari yarabatatanyirijemo’ kandi nzabagarura mu gihugu cyabo nahaye ba sekuruza.”+

16 Yehova aravuga ati:

‘Ngiye guhamagara abarobyi benshi kandi bazabaroba.

17 Amaso yanjye areba ibyo bakora byose.*

20 Ese umuntu yakwiremera imana?

Mu by’ukuri ntizaba ari imana nyazo.+

17 “Icyaha cy’ab’i Buyuda cyandikishijwe ikaramu y’icyuma.

Ni nde wawumenya?

15 Hari abajya bambwira bati:

“Ese ibyo Yehova yavuze ko bitaba?+

Ngaho nibibe turebe!”

Uzi neza ibintu byose navuze.

Byose byabaye ubireba.

19 Yehova yarambwiye ati: “Genda uhagarare mu irembo ry’abana b’abantu, aho abami b’i Buyuda binjirira bakanahasohokera, uhagarare no mu marembo yose ya Yerusalemu.+ 20 Ubabwire uti: ‘mwa bami b’i Buyuda mwe, namwe mwese abatuye i Buyuda n’i Yerusalemu mwinjirira muri aya marembo, nimwumve ibyo Yehova avuga. 21 Yehova aravuga ati: “mwirinde* ntimukikorere umutwaro ku munsi w’Isabato cyangwa ngo muwinjize mu marembo y’i Yerusalemu.+ 22 Ntimukagire umutwaro muvana mu mazu yanyu ku munsi w’Isabato kandi ntimukagire umurimo uwo ari wo wose mukora.+ Mujye mweza umunsi w’Isabato, nk’uko nabitegetse ba sogokuruza banyu.+ 23 Ariko ntibigeze bumva cyangwa ngo batege amatwi, barinangiye banga* kumvira kandi ntibemera igihano.”’+

24 “‘Yehova aravuga ati: “ariko nimunyumvira mu buryo bwuzuye, ntimugire umutwaro munyuza mu marembo y’uyu mujyi ku munsi w’Isabato kandi mukeza umunsi w’Isabato ntimugire umurimo uwo ari wo wose muwukoraho,+ 25 icyo gihe abami n’abatware bicara ku ntebe y’ubwami ya Dawidi,+ bazinjira mu marembo y’uyu mujyi, bicaye mu magare no ku mafarashi, bo n’abatware babo n’abaturage b’i Buyuda n’ab’i Yerusalemu;+ abantu bazakomeza gutura muri uyu mujyi iteka ryose. 26 Abantu bazaza baturutse mu mijyi y’i Buyuda, mu turere dukikije Yerusalemu, mu gihugu cya Benyamini,+ mu kibaya,+ mu karere k’imisozi miremire n’i Negebu,* baze bazanye ibitambo bitwikwa n’umuriro,+ ibindi bitambo,+ amaturo y’ibinyampeke,+ ububani,* bazane n’ibitambo byo gushimira mu nzu ya Yehova.+

27 “‘“Ariko nimwanga kunyumvira, ntimweze umunsi w’Isabato mukikorera imitwaro kandi mukayinjiza mu marembo y’i Yerusalemu ku munsi w’Isabato, nzatwika amarembo yayo kandi uwo muriro uzatwika iminara ya Yerusalemu ikomeye,+ ku buryo nta wuzawuzimya.”’”+

18 Uku ni ko Yehova yabwiye Yeremiya. Yaramubwiye ati: 2 “Haguruka, umanuke ujye mu nzu y’umubumbyi,+ ni ho nzakubwirira amagambo yanjye.”

3 Nuko ndamanuka njya mu nzu y’umubumbyi, nsanga ari kubumba. 4 Ariko igikoresho uwo mubumbyi yabumbaga cyangirikira mu ntoki ze, nuko afata iryo bumba, aribumbamo ikindi gikoresho gihuje n’uko ashaka.

5 Yehova arongera arambwira ati: 6 “‘Yemwe abo mu muryango wa Isirayeli mwe, ese mutekereza ko ntashobora kubakorera nk’ibyo uyu mubumbyi yakoze?’ Ni ko Yehova avuga. ‘Yemwe abo mu muryango wa Isirayeli mwe, uko ibumba rimera mu ntoki z’umubumbyi, ni ko namwe mumeze mu ntoki zanjye.+ 7 Nimvuga ko ngiye kurandura, kurimbura no gusenya igihugu cyangwa ubwami,+ 8 maze icyo gihugu kikareka ibibi nari naravuze ko nzagihanira, nanjye nzisubiraho,* ndeke ibyago natekerezaga kugiteza.+ 9 Ariko nimvuga ko ngiye kubaka no gukomeza* igihugu cyangwa ubwami, 10 ariko kigakora ibyo nanga kandi nticyumvire ijwi ryanjye, nzisubiraho* ndeke ibyiza natekerezaga kugikorera.’

11 “None rero, bwira abantu b’i Buyuda n’abaturage b’i Yerusalemu uti: ‘Yehova aravuga ati: “ndimo gupanga ibyago nzabateza kandi ndimo gutegura ibibi nzabakorera. Ndabinginze nimwisubireho, mureke ingeso zanyu mbi, muhindure imyifatire yanyu kandi mureke ibikorwa byanyu bibi.”’”+

12 Nuko baravuga bati: “Erega byararangiye!+ Tuzakomeza gukora ibyo dutekereza kandi buri wese azakurikiza ibyo umutima we mubi utumva, umubwira.”+

13 Ni yo mpamvu Yehova avuga ati:

“Ndabinginze, nimubaririze mu bihugu.

Ese hari uwigeze yumva ibintu nk’ibyo?

Umukobwa w’isugi wa Isirayeli yakoze ibibi birenze urugero.+

14 Ese urubura rwo muri Libani rwashira ku bitare byo ku misozi?

Cyangwa amazi akonje, atemba aturuka mu gihugu cy’amahanga yakama?

Umuntu wese uzajya uhanyura azajya acyitegereza afite ubwoba maze azunguze umutwe.+

17 Nzabatatanyiriza imbere y’umwanzi nk’abatatanyijwe n’umuyaga w’iburasirazuba.

Igihe bazaba bahuye n’ibyago, sinzabareba ahubwo nzabatera umugongo.”+

18 Nuko baravuga bati: “Nimuze ducurire Yeremiya umugambi mubi,+ kuko abatambyi bacu ari bo bazakomeza kutumenyesha amategeko,* abanyabwenge bagakomeza kutugira inama kandi abahanuzi bagakomeza kutugezaho ubutumwa buturutse ku Mana. Nimuze tumushinje,* kandi ntitwite ku byo avuga.”

20 Ese icyiza gikwiriye kwiturwa ikibi?

Bacukuye umwobo ngo banyice.+

Abagore babo bapfushe abana kandi bapfushe abagabo.+

19 Yehova yarambwiye ati: “Jya kugura akabindi gato ku mubumbyi.+ Hanyuma ufate bamwe mu bayobozi b’aba bantu na bamwe mu bakuru b’abatambyi, 2 maze ujye mu Kibaya cy’Umuhungu wa Hinomu*+ kiri imbere y’Irembo ry’Umubumbyi. Aho ni ho uzatangariza amagambo nzakubwira. 3 Uzavuge uti: ‘nimwumve ijambo rya Yehova mwa bami b’i Buyuda mwe, namwe baturage b’i Yerusalemu. Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli aravuga ati:

“‘“Ngiye guteza ibyago aha hantu, ku buryo uzabyumva wese azumirwa.* 4 Ibyo bizaterwa n’uko bantaye+ kandi aha hantu bakahahindura ukundi ku buryo nta wahamenya.+ Bahatambira ibitambo izindi mana, bo na ba sekuruza n’abami b’u Buyuda batigeze bamenya kandi bahujuje amaraso y’inzirakarengane.+ 5 Bubakiye Bayali ahantu hirengeye, kugira ngo bahatwikire abahungu babo, ngo babe ibitambo bitwikwa n’umuriro bitambiwe Bayali,+ icyo kikaba ari ikintu ntigeze mbategeka cyangwa ngo nkivuge kandi kitigeze kiza no mu mutima wanjye.”’*+

6 “Yehova aravuga ati: ‘“Ku bw’ibyo rero, igihe kigiye kugera, ubwo aha hantu hatazongera kwitwa Tofeti cyangwa Ikibaya cy’Umuhungu wa Hinomu,* ahubwo hakitwa Ikibaya cyo Kwiciramo.+ 7 Nzatuma imigambi y’ab’i Buyuda n’ab’i Yerusalemu itagira icyo igeraho aha hantu. Nzatuma bicwa n’inkota kandi bicwe n’abanzi babo babahiga. Nzatuma intumbi zabo ziribwa n’ibisiga byo mu kirere n’inyamaswa zo ku isi.+ 8 Nzatuma uyu mujyi uba ahantu hateye ubwoba kandi uhabonye azajya avugiriza kubera gutangara. Umuntu wese uhanyuze azitegereza uyu mujyi afite ubwoba kandi avugirize bitewe n’ibyago byose byawugezeho.+ 9 Nzatuma barya inyama z’abahungu babo n’abakobwa babo, buri wese arye inyama za mugenzi we kuko bazagotwa kandi bakabura icyo bakora. Abanzi babo n’abashaka kubica bazabagota impande zose.”’+

10 “Uzamenere ako kabindi gato imbere y’abo bagabo bazaba bajyanye nawe, 11 maze ubabwire uti: ‘Yehova nyiri ingabo aravuze ati: “uku ni ko nzamenagura aba bantu n’uyu mujyi, nk’uko umuntu amena icyo umubumbyi yabumbye, ku buryo kidashobora gusanwa. Abapfuye bazabahamba i Tofeti hababane hato.”’+

12 “Yehova aravuga ati: ‘ibi ni byo nzakorera aha hantu n’abaturage baho, uyu mujyi nywuhindure nka Tofeti. 13 Amazu y’i Yerusalemu n’amazu y’abami b’u Buyuda, ni ukuvuga amazu yose afite ibisenge batambiyeho ibitambo bigenewe ingabo zose zo mu kirere,+ n’aho basukiye izindi mana ituro ry’ibyokunywa,+ bizamera nk’i Tofeti+ kandi bizaba bihumanye.’”

14 Igihe Yeremiya yari avuye i Tofeti aho Yehova yari yamutumye guhanurira, yahagaze mu rugo rw’inzu ya Yehova maze abwira abantu bose ati: 15 “Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli aravuga ati: ‘ngiye guteza uyu mujyi n’imidugudu yawo yose ibyago byose navuze ko nzawuteza kuko binangiye bakanga kumvira* amagambo yanjye.’”+

20 Pashuri umuhungu wa Imeri, wari umutambyi akaba n’umuyobozi mukuru mu rusengero rwa Yehova, yari ateze amatwi igihe Yeremiya yahanuraga ibyo bintu. 2 Nuko Pashuri akubita umuhanuzi Yeremiya maze amufungira mu kintu gikoze mu mbaho bakoreshaga bahana abantu,*+ cyari mu Irembo ryo Haruguru rya Benyamini ryari mu rusengero rwa Yehova. 3 Ariko ku munsi ukurikiyeho, Pashuri afungura Yeremiya maze Yeremiya aramubwira ati:

“Yehova ntiyakwise Pashuri, ahubwo yakwise igiteye ubwoba impande zose.+ 4 Yehova aravuga ati: ‘ngiye gutuma witera ubwoba, ubutere n’incuti zawe zose kandi bazicwa n’inkota y’abanzi babo ubireba.+ Ab’i Buyuda bose nzabateza umwami w’i Babuloni kandi azabajyana i Babuloni ku ngufu abicishe inkota.+ 5 Ubukire bwose bwo muri uyu mujyi, ibiwurimo byose, ibintu byose by’agaciro biwurimo n’ubutunzi bwose bw’abami b’u Buyuda, nzabiha abanzi babo.+ Bazabisahura, babifate babijyane i Babuloni.+ 6 Nanone wowe Pashuri n’ababa mu nzu yawe bose, muzajyanwa i Babuloni ku ngufu. Nimugerayo ni ho uzapfira kandi ni ho uzashyingurwa wowe n’incuti zawe zose kubera ko wabahanuriye ibinyoma.’”+

 7 Yehova, waranshutse nemera gushukwa.

Wandushije imbaraga kandi urantsinda.+

 8 Igihe cyose ngiye kuvuga ndataka, nkavuga nti:

“Urugomo no gusenya.”

Kubera ijambo rya Yehova, abantu barantuka kandi bakanseka umunsi wose.+

Baravuga bati: “Tumurege! Nimureke tumurege!”

Abanyifurizaga amahoro bose, babaga bacunga ko nakora ikosa.+

11 Ariko Yehova yari kumwe nanjye ameze nk’umurwanyi uteye ubwoba.+

Ni yo mpamvu abantoteza bazasitara kandi ntibazatsinda.+

Bazakorwa n’isoni kuko nta cyo bazageraho.

Ikimwaro cyabo kizahoraho igihe cyose kuko kitazigera cyibagirana.+

13 Nimuririmbire Yehova! Nimusingize Yehova!

Yatabaye umukene* amukura mu maboko y’abakora ibibi.

14 Havumwe* umunsi navutseho!

Umunsi mama yambyayeho ntugahabwe umugisha.+

16 Uwo muntu azabe nk’imijyi Yehova yarimbuye ntabyicuze.

Mu gitondo azumve ijwi ryo gutaka, na ho ku manywa yumve urusaku ruburira abantu ko hari ikibi kigiye kuba.

21 Uku ni ko Yehova yabwiye Yeremiya, igihe Umwami Sedekiya+ yamutumagaho Pashuri+ umuhungu wa Malikiya na Zefaniya+ umuhungu wa Maseya wari umutambyi, kugira ngo bamubwire bati: 2 “Tubarize Yehova kuko Nebukadinezari* umwami w’i Babuloni arimo kuturwanya.+ Wenda Yehova azadukorera kimwe mu bikorwa bye bikomeye, bitume uwo mwami atureka.”+

3 Yeremiya arabasubiza ati: “Mugende mubwire Sedekiya muti: 4 ‘Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli aravuga ati: “intwaro mufite mu ntoki mukoresha murwanya umwami w’i Babuloni+ n’Abakaludaya bari inyuma y’inkuta babagose, ngiye kuzihindukiza, abe ari mwe nzerekezaho. Nzaziteranyiriza hamwe hagati muri uyu mujyi. 5 Nanjye ubwanjye nzabarwanya+ nkoresheje ukuboko kwanjye kurambuye kandi gukomeye, mfite umujinya n’uburakari, ndetse uburakari bukaze.+ 6 Nzateza ibyago abatuye muri uyu mujyi, abantu hamwe n’inyamaswa. Bazicwa n’icyorezo* gikomeye.”’+

7 “Yehova aravuga ati: ‘nyuma y’ibyo Sedekiya umwami w’u Buyuda n’abagaragu be n’abaturage bo muri uyu mujyi, ni ukuvuga abazaba barokotse icyorezo, inkota n’inzara, nzabateza Umwami Nebukadinezari* w’i Babuloni, mbateze abanzi babo n’abashaka kubica.*+ Azabicisha inkota. Ntazabababarira cyangwa ngo abagirire impuhwe, ndetse ntazabagirira imbabazi.’”+

8 “Ubwire aba bantu uti: ‘Yehova aravuga ati: “dore mbahitishijemo mu bintu bibiri: Inzira y’ubuzima n’inzira y’urupfu. 9 Abazaguma muri uyu mujyi bazicwa n’inkota, inzara n’icyorezo; ariko umuntu wese uzasohoka akishyira mu maboko y’Abakaludaya babagose, azakomeza kubaho, akize ubuzima* bwe.”’+

10 “Yehova aravuga ati: ‘“niyemeje guteza ibyago uyu mujyi aho kuwugirira neza.+ Umwami w’i Babuloni+ azawufata maze awutwike.”+

11 “‘Uzabwire abo mu rugo rw’umwami w’u Buyuda uti: “nimwumve ibyo Yehova avuga. 12 Mwebwe abo mu muryango wa Dawidi, nimwumve ibyo Yehova avuga ati:

Kandi se ni nde uzinjira ku ngufu aho dutuye?” Mumenye ibi:

14 Yehova aravuga ati:

‘Nzabahana nkurikije ibikorwa byanyu.+

22 Yehova aravuga ati: “Manuka ujye mu rugo* rw’umwami w’u Buyuda, umubwire ubu butumwa. 2 Umubwire uti: ‘umva amagambo ya Yehova, wowe mwami w’u Buyuda wicara ku ntebe y’ubwami ya Dawidi. Abagaragu bawe n’abantu bawe binjirira muri aya marembo na bo bumve. 3 Yehova aravuga ati: “mujye muca imanza zihuje n’ubutabera kandi zikiranuka. Mujye mutabara uwambuwe n’abatekamutwe. Ntimugafate nabi umunyamahanga utuye mu gihugu cyanyu kandi ntimukagirire nabi imfubyi* cyangwa umupfakazi.+ Ntimukagire umuntu w’inzirakarengane mwicira aha hantu.+ 4 Nimukurikiza ayo magambo mubyitondeye, abami bicara ku ntebe y’ubwami ya Dawidi+ bazinjira mu marembo y’iyi nzu bari mu magare no ku mafarashi, bari kumwe n’abagaragu babo n’abaturage babo.”’+

5 “Yehova aravuga ati: ‘ariko nimwanga kumvira ayo magambo, ndahiye mu izina ryanjye ko iyi nzu izahinduka amatongo.’+

6 “Yehova yavuze ibizaba ku muryango w’umwami w’u Buyuda ati:

Nta n’umwe mu mijyi yawe uzaturwa.+

8 “‘Abantu bo mu bihugu byinshi bazanyura kuri uyu mujyi maze buri wese abaze mugenzi we ati: “ni iki cyatumye Yehova akorera uyu mujyi wari ukomeye ibintu nk’ibi?”+ 9 Bazavuga bati: “byatewe n’uko baretse isezerano rya Yehova Imana yabo, bakunamira izindi mana kandi bakazikorera.”’+

11 “Yehova yavuze ibizaba kuri Shalumu*+ umuhungu wa Yosiya, umwami w’u Buyuda utegeka mu mwanya wa papa we Yosiya,+ wavuye aha hantu, ati: ‘ntazongera kugaruka. 12 Azapfira mu gihugu yajyanywemo ku ngufu kandi ntazongera kubona iki gihugu.’+

15 Ese wibwira ko uzakomeza gutegeka bitewe n’uko warushije abandi gukoresha amasederi?

Yehova aravuga ati: ‘ese ibyo si byo bigaragaza ko umuntu anzi?’

18 “Ni yo mpamvu Yehova yavuze ibizaba kuri Yehoyakimu+ umuhungu wa Yosiya, umwami w’u Buyuda, ati:

‘Ntibazamuririra bahumurizanya bati:

Ariko waravuze uti: ‘sinzumvira!’+

Icyo gihe uzakorwa n’isoni kandi umware, bitewe n’ibyago byose bizakugeraho.

23 Yewe utuye muri Libani we!+

24 “Yehova Imana ihoraho aravuga ati: ‘ndahiye mu izina ryanjye ko wowe Koniya*+ umuhungu wa Yehoyakimu+ umwami w’u Buyuda, niyo waba uri impeta iri ku kuboko kwanjye kw’iburyo nkoresha ntera kashe, nagukuramo! 25 Nzaguteza abashaka kukwica,* nguteze abo utinya, nguteze Nebukadinezari* umwami w’i Babuloni kandi nguteze Abakaludaya bagutegeke.+ 26 Wowe na mama wawe wakubyaye, nzabajugunya mu kindi gihugu mutavukiyemo kandi ni ho muzapfira. 27 Ntimuzigera mugaruka mu gihugu mwifuza cyane.+

29 Yewe wa si* we, wa si we, wa si we, umva ijambo rya Yehova!

30 Yehova aravuga ati:

23 Yehova aravuga ati: “Abungeri* barimbura intama zo mu rwuri* rwanjye kandi bakazitatanya, bazabona ishyano.”+

2 Ni yo mpamvu Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli yagaye abungeri baragira abantu be ati: “Mwatatanyije intama zanjye, mukomeza kuzitatanya kandi ntimwazitaho.”+

Yehova aravuga ati: “Ubwo rero, ngiye kubahana kubera ibikorwa byanyu bibi.”

3 “Nyuma yaho nzahuriza hamwe intama zanjye zasigaye nzivane mu bihugu byose nari narazitatanyirijemo+ nzigarure mu rwuri rwazo+ kandi zizabyara maze zibe nyinshi.+ 4 Nzazishyiriraho abungeri* bazaziragira neza.+ Ntizizongera kugira ubwoba cyangwa ngo zihahamuke kandi nta n’imwe izabura.” Ni ko Yehova avuga.

5 Yehova aravuga ati: “Igihe kigiye kugera maze ntume Dawidi akomokwaho* n’umuntu ukiranuka,+ uzahabwa intebe ye y’ubwami.+ Azaba umwami urangwa n’ubushishozi kandi azatuma mu gihugu haba ubutabera no gukiranuka.+ 6 Mu gihe cye Yuda azakizwa,+ Isirayeli na yo igire umutekano.+ Iri ni ryo zina azitwa: Yehova Ni We Gukiranuka Kwacu.”+

7 Ariko nanone, Yehova aravuga ati: “Hari igihe kizagera, abantu ntibongere kuvuga bati: ‘ndahiriye imbere ya Yehova, Imana yavanye Abisirayeli mu gihugu cya Egiputa!’+ 8 Ahubwo bazavuga bati: ‘ndahiriye imbere ya Yehova Imana yavanye abakomoka mu muryango wa Isirayeli mu gihugu cyo mu majyaruguru no mu bihugu byose yari yarabatatanyirijemo’ kandi bazatura mu gihugu cyabo.”+

Amagufwa yanjye yose aratitira.

10 Igihugu cyuzuye abasambanyi.+

Ibikorwa byabo ni bibi kandi bakoresha nabi imbaraga zabo.

12 Yehova aravuga ati:

“Ni yo mpamvu inzira yabo izababera nk’ahantu hanyerera kandi hijimye.+

Bazasunikwa bagwe.

Nzabateza ibyago mu mwaka wo kubabaza ibyo bakoze.”

13 “Mu bahanuzi b’i Samariya+ nahabonye ibintu biteye iseseme.

21 Sinigeze ntuma abo bahanuzi ariko barirutse.

Nta cyo nababwiye ariko barahanuye.+

23 Yehova aravuga ati: “Ese ndi Imana yo hafi gusa? Ese si ndi n’Imana ya kure?”

24 Yehova aravuga ati: “Ese hari aho umuntu yakwihisha ku buryo ntashobora kumubona?”+

Yehova aravuga ati: “Ese simbona ibintu byose byo mu ijuru n’ibyo ku isi?”+

25 “Numvise abahanuzi bahanura ibinyoma mu izina ryanjye bavuga bati: ‘narose! Narose!’+ 26 Abahanuzi bazakomeza guhanura ibinyoma byo mu mitima yabo, kugeza ryari?

Ariko ufite ijambo ryanjye yagombye kurivuga mu kuri.”

Yehova aravuga ati: “Ni iki umurama uhuriyeho n’impeke?”

29 Yehova aravuga ati: “Ese ijambo ryanjye ntirimeze nk’umuriro+ kandi rikamera nk’inyundo y’umucuzi imenagura urutare?”+

30 Yehova aravuga ati: “Ni yo mpamvu ngiye kurwanya abahanuzi biba amagambo yanjye, buri wese akayiba mugenzi we.”+

31 Yehova aravuga ati: “Ngiye kurwanya abahanuzi bakoresha ururimi rwabo bavuga bati: ‘uku ni ko avuga!’”+

32 Yehova aravuga ati: “Ngiye kurwanya abahanuzi barota inzozi z’ibinyoma bakazibwira abantu banjye, bakabayobya, bitewe n’ibinyoma byabo n’ubwirasi bwabo.”+

Yehova aravuga ati: “Ariko sinigeze mbatuma, nta n’icyo nigeze mbategeka. Nta cyo bazamarira aba bantu.”+

33 “Yehova aravuga ati: ‘aba bantu cyangwa umuhanuzi, cyangwa umutambyi, nibakubaza bati: “kuki ubutumwa bwa Yehova bumeze nk’umutwaro?” Uzabasubize uti: ‘ni mwe mutwaro! Kandi nzabata.’+ 34 Kandi nihagira umuhanuzi, cyangwa umutambyi, cyangwa undi wo muri aba bantu uvuga ati: ‘ubutumwa bwa Yehova ni umutwaro,’ nzamuhagurukira we n’abo mu rugo rwe. 35 Ibi ni byo mukomeza kubwirana, buri wese akabwira mugenzi we n’umuvandimwe we ati: ‘Yehova yashubije iki? Kandi se Yehova yavuze iki?’ 36 Ntimukongere kuvuga ngo ubutumwa bwa Yehova ni umutwaro, kuko ijambo buri wese avuga ari ryo rimubera umutwaro kandi mwahinduye amagambo y’Imana yacu ihoraho Yehova nyiri ingabo.

37 “Uzabaze umuhanuzi uti: ‘Yehova yagushubije iki? Kandi se Yehova yavuze iki? 38 Yehova aravuga ati: “nimukomeza kuvuga muti: ‘ubutumwa bwa Yehova ni umutwaro,’ kuko mukomeza kuvuga muti: ‘Ijambo rya Yehova ni umutwaro’ kandi narababwiye nti: ‘ntimugomba kuvuga muti: “ijambo rya Yehova ni umutwaro,”’ 39 mwe n’uyu mujyi nabahaye, nkawuha na ba sogokuruza banyu, nzabaterura mbajugunye kure yanjye. 40 Nzatuma musuzugurwa kandi mukorwe n’isoni iteka ryose, ku buryo bitazigera byibagirana.”’”+

24 Hanyuma Yehova anyereka ibitebo bibiri birimo imbuto z’umutini biteretse imbere y’urusengero rwa Yehova. Icyo gihe Umwami Nebukadinezari* w’i Babuloni yari yarajyanye ku ngufu Yekoniya,*+ umuhungu wa Yehoyakimu+ umwami w’u Buyuda n’abatware b’i Buyuda, abanyabukorikori n’abakora ibintu mu byuma.* Yabavanye i Yerusalemu abajyana i Babuloni.+ 2 Mu gitebo kimwe harimo imbuto z’umutini nziza cyane, zimeze nk’imbuto z’umutini zeze bwa mbere. Naho mu kindi gitebo harimo imbuto z’umutini mbi cyane. Zari mbi cyane ku buryo zitaribwa.

3 Nuko Yehova arambaza ati: “Yeremiya we, urabona iki?” Ndamusubiza nti: “Ndabona imbuto z’umutini; inziza ni nziza cyane, imbi na zo ni mbi cyane ku buryo zitaribwa, kuko ari mbi.”+

4 Yehova arongera arambwira ati: 5 “Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli aravuga ati: ‘kimwe n’izi mbuto z’umutini nziza, nanjye nzita ku bantu b’i Buyuda bajyanywe ku ngufu, abo nirukanye aha hantu nkabohereza mu gihugu cy’Abakaludaya. 6 Nzabitaho mbagirire neza kandi nzatuma bagaruka muri iki gihugu.+ Nzabubaka aho kubasenya kandi nzabatera aho kubarandura.+ 7 Nzabaha umutima wo kumenya, bamenye ko ndi Yehova.+ Bazaba abantu banjye nanjye mbe Imana yabo,+ kuko bazangarukira n’umutima wabo wose.+

8 “‘Ariko Yehova aravuga ati: “Sedekiya+ umwami w’u Buyuda, abatware be, abasigaye b’i Yerusalemu bakiri muri iki gihugu n’abatuye mu gihugu cya Egiputa,+ nzabafata nk’imbuto z’umutini zitaribwa kuko ari mbi.+ 9 Nzabahindura ikintu gitera ubwoba ubwami bwose bwo mu isi,+ kandi mu duce twose nabatatanyirijemo,+ abantu bazabatuka, babasuzugure,* babaseke kandi babavume.*+ 10 Nzabateza inkota,+ inzara n’icyorezo,*+ kugeza aho bazashirira mu gihugu nabahaye bo na ba sekuruza.”’”

25 Dore ibyo Imana yabwiye Yeremiya byari kuba ku baturage bose b’i Buyuda. Icyo gihe hari mu mwaka wa kane w’ubutegetsi bwa Yehoyakimu,+ umuhungu wa Yosiya umwami w’u Buyuda, ni ukuvuga mu mwaka wa mbere w’ubutegetsi bwa Nebukadinezari* umwami w’i Babuloni. 2 Ibi ni byo umuhanuzi Yeremiya yavuze ku birebana n’abantu b’i Buyuda bose n’abaturage b’i Yerusalemu bose:

3 “Kuva mu mwaka wa 13 w’ubutegetsi bwa Yosiya,+ umuhungu wa Amoni umwami w’u Buyuda kugeza uyu munsi, mu gihe kingana n’imyaka 23 yose, Yehova yavuganaga nanjye, nanjye nkaza kubabwira kenshi* ariko mukanga kumva.+ 4 Kandi Yehova yabatumyeho abagaragu be bose b’abahanuzi, abohereza inshuro nyinshi* ariko mwanze kumva kandi ntimwabatega amatwi.+ 5 Barababwiraga bati: ‘turabinginze, buri wese muri mwe nareke imyifatire ye mibi n’ibikorwa bye bibi.+ Ni bwo muzatura igihe kirekire mu gihugu Yehova yabahaye kera cyane mwe na ba sogokuruza banyu. 6 Ntimukumvire izindi mana ngo muzikorere kandi ngo muzunamire, kugira ngo mutandakaza mukorera ibigirwamana byanyu. Nimubigenza mutyo, nzabateza ibyago.’

7 “Yehova aravuga ati: ‘ariko mwanze kunyumva, ahubwo mundakaza mukorera ibigirwamana byanyu, bituma mbateza ibyago.’+

8 “Ni yo mpamvu Yehova nyiri ingabo avuga ati: ‘“kubera ko mwanze kumvira amagambo yanjye, 9 Yehova aravuga ati: ‘ngiye gutumaho imiryango yose yo mu majyaruguru,+ ntumeho n’umugaragu wanjye+ Nebukadinezari* umwami w’i Babuloni mbazane batere iki gihugu,+ barwanye abaturage bacyo n’ibi bihugu byose bigikikije.+ Nzabirimbura mbigire ikintu giteye ubwoba, ku buryo uzabireba azavugiriza yumiwe, kandi iki gihugu nzagihindura amatongo. 10 Nzatuma ijwi ryo kwishima,+ ijwi ryo kunezerwa, ijwi ry’umukwe, ijwi ry’umugeni+ n’ijwi ry’urusyo bitongera kumvikana kandi ntibazongera kubona urumuri rw’itara. 11 Iki gihugu cyose kizahinduka amatongo, gihinduke ikintu giteye ubwoba kandi ibi bihugu bizamara imyaka 70 bikorera umwami w’i Babuloni.’”’+

12 “Yehova aravuga ati: ‘ariko iyo myaka 70 nirangira,+ umwami w’i Babuloni n’icyo gihugu nzabahanira icyaha cyabo+ kandi nzatuma icyo gihugu cy’Abakaludaya kiba amatongo, nticyongere guturwa iteka ryose.+ 13 Nzatuma ibyo navuze byose kuri iki gihugu bisohora, ni ukuvuga amagambo yose yanditswe muri iki gitabo Yeremiya yahanuriye ibihugu byose. 14 Kuko ibihugu byinshi n’abami bakomeye,+ bazabagira abacakara babo+ kandi nzabaha igihano gihwanye n’ibikorwa byabo n’ibyo bakoze.’”+

15 Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli yarambwiye ati: “Akira iki gikombe cya divayi y’uburakari kiri mu ntoki zanjye, uzayinyweshe abo mu bihugu byose ngiye kugutumaho. 16 Bazayinywa bagende nk’abasinzi, bamere nk’abasazi bitewe n’inkota ngiye kubateza.”+

17 Nuko mfata igikombe cyari mu ntoki za Yehova, nkinywesha ibihugu byose Yehova yari yantumyeho.+ 18 Nahereye kuri Yerusalemu n’imijyi y’u Buyuda,+ abami baho n’abatware baho, kugira ngo hahinduke amatongo n’ikintu giteye ubwoba, ikintu abantu bareba bakavugiriza batangaye, hahinduke n’umuvumo,+ nk’uko bimeze uyu munsi. 19 Nakurikijeho Farawo umwami wa Egiputa n’abagaragu be, abatware be n’abantu be bose;+ 20 abanyamahanga bose batuye mu gihugu cyabo, abami bose bo mu gihugu cya Usi, abami bose bo mu gihugu cy’Abafilisitiya,+ Ashikeloni,+ Gaza, Ekuroni n’abasigaye bo muri Ashidodi; 21 Edomu,+ Mowabu+ n’Abamoni;+ 22 abami bose b’i Tiro, abami bose b’i Sidoni+ n’abami b’ikirwa cyo mu nyanja; 23 Dedani,+ Tema, Buzi n’abandi bose bafite imisatsi ikatiye mu misaya;+ 24 abami bose b’Abarabu+ n’abami bose b’ubwoko bw’abantu batandukanye baba mu butayu; 25 abami bose b’i Zimuri, abami bose bo muri Elamu+ n’abami bose b’Abamedi;+ 26 abami bose bo mu majyaruguru, baba aba hafi n’aba kure, uko bakurikirana n’ubundi bwami bwose bwo ku isi. Umwami Sheshaki*+ azanywa nyuma yabo.

27 “Uzababwire uti: ‘Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli aravuga ati: “munywe musinde kandi muruke, mugwe ku buryo mudashobora guhaguruka+ bitewe n’inkota ngiye kubateza.”’ 28 Kandi nibanga kwakira icyo gikombe kiri mu ntoki zawe ngo banywe, uzababwire uti: ‘Yehova nyiri ingabo aravuze ati: “mugomba kuyinywa! 29 Ese niba ngiye kubanza guteza ibyago umujyi witirirwa izina ryanjye,+ mwibwira ko ari mwe muzasigara mudahanwe?”’+

“Yehova nyiri ingabo aravuga ati: ‘ntimuzasigara mudahanwe, kuko ngiye guteza intambara abatuye isi bose.’

30 “Nawe uzabahanurire ayo magambo yose, ubabwire uti:

Azatontoma cyane atangaza urubanza yaciriye abatuye aho aba.

Azasakuza yishimye, nk’abanyukanyukira imizabibu aho bengera divayi.

Namara gutsinda abatuye isi yose, azaririmba indirimbo y’intsinzi.’

32 Yehova nyiri ingabo aravuga ati:

33 “‘Abishwe na Yehova kuri uwo munsi bazaba ku mpera imwe y’isi kugera ku yindi mpera y’isi. Nta wuzabaririra cyangwa ngo bashyirwe hamwe, cyangwa ngo bahambwe. Bazaba nk’amase ku butaka.’

34 Mwa bashumba mwe murire kandi mutake cyane!

26 Mu ntangiriro y’ubutegetsi bwa Yehoyakimu,+ umuhungu wa Yosiya umwami w’u Buyuda, Yehova yabwiye Yeremiya ati: 2 “Yehova aravuga ati: ‘hagarara mu rugo rw’inzu ya Yehova maze ubwire abo mu mijyi yose y’u Buyuda baza gusengera* mu nzu ya Yehova amagambo yose ngutegeka. Ntugire ijambo na rimwe ukuramo. 3 Wenda bazumva, buri wese areke imyifatire ye mibi, nanjye nisubireho* ndeke kubateza ibyago natekerezaga kubateza, bitewe n’ibikorwa byabo bibi.+ 4 Ubabwire uti: “Yehova aravuze ati: ‘nimutanyumvira ngo mukurikize amategeko* yanjye nabahaye, 5 ngo mwumvire amagambo y’abagaragu banjye b’abahanuzi nabatumyeho inshuro nyinshi* ariko ntimubumvire,+ 6 nanjye iyi nzu nzayihindura nk’i Shilo+ kandi ntume ibihugu byose byo ku isi bivuma* uyu mujyi.’”’”+

7 Abatambyi, abahanuzi n’abaturage bose bumvise Yeremiya avugira ayo magambo mu nzu ya Yehova.+ 8 Yeremiya arangije kuvuga amagambo yose Yehova yari yamutegetse kubwira abantu bose, abatambyi, abahanuzi n’abaturage bose, baramufata maze baramubwira bati: “Ugomba gupfa! 9 Kuki wahanuye mu izina rya Yehova uvuga uti: ‘iyi nzu izaba nk’iy’i Shilo kandi uyu mujyi uzasenywa ku buryo nta muntu uzasigara awutuyemo?’” Nuko abantu bose bakomeza kwirunda aho Yeremiya yari ari mu nzu ya Yehova.

10 Hanyuma abatware b’i Buyuda bumvise ayo magambo, bava ku nzu* y’umwami bajya ku nzu ya Yehova maze bicara mu muryango w’irembo rishya ry’inzu ya Yehova.+ 11 Nuko abatambyi n’abahanuzi babwira abatware n’abaturage bose bati: “Uyu muntu akwiriye guhabwa igihano cy’urupfu+ bitewe n’ibyo yahanuriye uyu mujyi nk’uko namwe mwabyiyumviye.”+

12 Yeremiya abwira abatware bose n’abaturage bose ati: “Yehova ni we wantumye, kugira ngo mvuge amagambo yose mwumvise nahanuriye iyi nzu n’uyu mujyi.+ 13 Ubu rero, nimuhindure imyifatire yanyu n’ibikorwa byanyu maze mwumvire Yehova Imana yanyu. Yehova na we azisubiraho* areke kubateza ibyago yavuze ko azabateza.+ 14 Naho njyewe, dore ndi mu maboko yanyu, munkorere icyo mubona ko ari cyiza kandi gikwiriye. 15 Gusa mumenye ko nimunyica, mwebwe n’uyu mujyi n’abaturage bawo, muri bube mwishe umuntu w’inzirakarengane, kuko mu by’ukuri Yehova ari we wabantumyeho kugira ngo mbabwire aya magambo yose.”

16 Nuko abatware n’abaturage bose babwira abatambyi n’abahanuzi bati: “Uyu muntu ntakwiriye guhanishwa igihano cy’urupfu, kuko ibyo yatubwiye yabivuze mu izina rya Yehova Imana yacu.”

17 Nanone bamwe mu bayobozi b’icyo gihugu barahaguruka batangira kubwira abantu bose bari bateraniye aho bati: 18 “Mika+ w’i Moresheti yahanuye mu gihe cy’ubutegetsi bwa Hezekiya+ umwami w’u Buyuda, abwira abantu b’i Buyuda bose ati: ‘Yehova nyiri ingabo aravuga ati:

19 “Ese Hezekiya umwami w’i Buyuda n’Abayuda bose baramwishe? Ese ntiyatinye Yehova, bigatuma yinginga Yehova,* Yehova na we akisubiraho* akareka kubateza ibyago yari yavuze ko abateza?+ Ubwo rero, turashaka kwiteza ibyago bikomeye!*

20 “Nanone hari undi muntu, ari we Uriya umuhungu wa Shemaya w’i Kiriyati-yeyarimu,+ wahanuye mu izina rya Yehova, ahanura ibyari kuba kuri uyu mujyi n’iki gihugu, avuga amagambo ahuje n’aya Yeremiya. 21 Umwami Yehoyakimu+ n’abagabo be bose b’intwari n’abatware be bose bamaze kumva amagambo yahanuraga, umwami ashaka kumwica.+ Uriya abyumvise agira ubwoba maze ahungira muri Egiputa. 22 Nuko Umwami Yehoyakimu yohereza Elunatani+ umuhungu wa Akibori hamwe n’abandi bantu muri Egiputa. 23 Bavana Uriya muri Egiputa bamuzanira Umwami Yehoyakimu, amwicisha inkota+ maze ajugunya umurambo we mu irimbi ry’abantu basanzwe.”

24 Ariko Ahikamu+ umuhungu wa Shafani+ ashyigikira Yeremiya, kugira ngo adahabwa abaturage ngo bamwice.+

27 Mu ntangiriro z’ubutegetsi bwa Yehoyakimu umuhungu wa Yosiya umwami w’u Buyuda, Yehova yavuganye nanjye: 2 “Yehova yarambwiye ati: ‘boha imigozi, ubaze n’umugogo* ubishyire ku ijosi ryawe. 3 Uzabyoherereze umwami wa Edomu,+ umwami w’i Mowabu,+ umwami w’Abamoni,+ umwami w’i Tiro+ n’umwami w’i Sidoni,+ ubihe abantu baje i Yerusalemu kureba Sedekiya umwami w’u Buyuda, babijyane. 4 Uzabahe itegeko bazageza kuri ba shebuja, uti:

“‘“Ibi ni byo Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli avuga ati: “uku ni ko muzabwira ba shobuja muti: 5 ‘ni njye waremye isi n’abantu n’inyamaswa zo ku isi, nkoresheje imbaraga zanjye nyinshi n’ukuboko kwanjye kurambuye; kandi nabihaye uwo nshaka.*+ 6 None ubu ibyo bihugu byose nabihaye umugaragu wanjye Nebukadinezari+ umwami w’i Babuloni, ndetse namuhaye n’inyamaswa zo mu gasozi ngo zimukorere. 7 Ibihugu byose bizamukorera we n’umwana we n’umwuzukuru we, kugeza ubwo igihugu cye na cyo kizaba gitahiwe.+ Icyo gihe, ibihugu byinshi n’abami bakomeye bazamugira umugaragu wabo.’+

8 “‘“Yehova aravuga ati: ‘nihagira igihugu cyangwa ubwami byanga gukorera Nebukadinezari umwami w’i Babuloni kandi bikanga ko umwami w’i Babuloni ashyira umugogo ku ijosi ryabyo, abaturage b’icyo gihugu nzabahana mbateze intambara,+ inzara n’icyorezo,* kugeza igihe nzabamarira nkoresheje ukuboko kwa Nebukadinezari.’

9 “‘“‘Ubwo rero, ntimukumvire abahanuzi banyu, ababaragurira, abababwira ibyo barose, abakora iby’ubumaji n’abapfumu banyu, bababwira bati: “ntimuzakorera umwami w’i Babuloni.” 10 Kuko babahanurira ibinyoma kandi nimwumvira ibyo binyoma byabo, muzajyanwa kure y’igihugu cyanyu mbatatanye maze murimbuke.

11 “‘“Yehova aravuga ati: ‘ariko abaturage b’igihugu bazemera ko umwami w’i Babuloni ashyira umugogo ku majosi yabo kandi bakamukorera, nzatuma baguma* mu gihugu cyabo, bagihinge kandi bagituremo.’”’”

12 Sedekiya+ umwami w’u Buyuda na we namubwiye amagambo nk’ayo nti: “Mwemere umwami w’i Babuloni ashyire umugogo ku majosi yanyu kandi mumukorere we n’abantu be, ni bwo muzakomeza kubaho.+ 13 Kuki wowe n’abantu bawe mwakwicwa n’intambara,+ inzara+ n’icyorezo,+ nk’uko Yehova yavuze ko bizagendekera igihugu kitazakorera umwami w’i Babuloni? 14 Ntimukumve amagambo y’abahanuzi babasezeranya bati: ‘ntimuzakorera umwami w’i Babuloni,’+ kuko ibyo babahanurira ari ibinyoma.+

15 “Yehova aravuga ati: ‘si njye wabatumye, ahubwo bahanura ibinyoma mu izina ryanjye. Nimubumvira nzabatatanya kandi murimbukane n’abahanuzi babahanurira.’”+

16 Kandi nabwiye abatambyi n’aba baturage bose nti: “Yehova aravuga ati: ‘ntimukumve amagambo abahanuzi banyu babahanurira, bavuga bati: “vuba aha ibikoresho byo mu nzu ya Yehova bigiye kugarurwa bivanywe i Babuloni.”+ Babahanurira ibinyoma.+ 17 Ntimukabumvire, ahubwo mukorere umwami w’i Babuloni ni bwo muzakomeza kubaho.+ Kuki uyu mujyi wahinduka amatongo? 18 Ariko niba ari abahanuzi koko kandi niba ibyo bavuga bituruka kuri Yehova, ngaho nibinginge Yehova nyiri ingabo kugira ngo ibikoresho byasigaye mu nzu ya Yehova no mu nzu* y’umwami w’u Buyuda n’i Yerusalemu bitajyanwa i Babuloni.’

19 “Kubera ko Yehova nyiri ingabo yavuze iby’inkingi,+ ikigega cy’amazi,*+ amagare+ n’ibindi bikoresho byasigaye muri uyu mujyi, 20 ni ukuvuga ibyo Nebukadinezari umwami w’i Babuloni atatwaye, igihe yavanaga Yekoniya umuhungu wa Yehoyakimu umwami w’u Buyuda i Yerusalemu, akamujyana i Babuloni ku ngufu ari kumwe n’abakomeye bose b’i Buyuda n’i Yerusalemu;+ 21 koko rero, Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli, yavuze uko bizagendekera ibikoresho byasigaye mu nzu ya Yehova no mu nzu* y’umwami w’u Buyuda n’i Yerusalemu, aravuga ati: 22 ‘“bizajyanwa i Babuloni+ bigumeyo, kugeza igihe nzongera kubyerekezaho ibitekerezo,” ni ko Yehova avuga. “Hanyuma, nzabigarura mbisubize aha hantu.”’”+

28 Dore ibyabaye muri uwo mwaka, mu ntangiriro y’ubutegetsi bwa Sedekiya,+ umwami w’u Buyuda, ni ukuvuga mu kwezi kwa gatanu k’umwaka wa kane w’ubutegetsi bwe. Umuhanuzi Hananiya umuhungu wa Azuri, wakomokaga i Gibeyoni+ yambwiriye mu nzu ya Yehova imbere y’abatambyi n’abaturage bose ati: 2 “Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli aravuga ati: ‘nzavuna umugogo* w’umwami w’i Babuloni.+ 3 Mu gihe kingana n’imyaka ibiri, nzagarura aha hantu ibikoresho byose byo mu nzu ya Yehova, Nebukadinezari umwami w’i Babuloni yahavanye akabijyana i Babuloni.’”+ 4 “Yehova aravuga ati: ‘kandi Yekoniya+ umuhungu wa Yehoyakimu+ umwami w’u Buyuda n’abandi Bayuda bose bajyanywe ku ngufu i Babuloni,+ nzabagarura aha hantu, kuko nzavuna umugogo w’umwami w’i Babuloni.’”

5 Nuko umuhanuzi Yeremiya asubiriza umuhanuzi Hananiya imbere y’abatambyi n’imbere y’abaturage bose bari bahagaze mu nzu ya Yehova. 6 Umuhanuzi Yeremiya aramubwira ati: “Amen!* Yehova abigenze atyo. Yehova akore ibyo wahanuye, agarure hano ibikoresho byo mu nzu ya Yehova n’abantu bose bajyanywe ku ngufu i Babuloni! 7 Ariko ndakwinginze, tega amatwi wumve ubutumwa nkubwira wowe n’abaturage bose. 8 Kuva kera abahanuzi bambanjirije n’abakubanjirije, bahanuriraga ibihugu byinshi n’ubwami bukomeye ibirebana n’intambara, ibyago n’icyorezo.* 9 Iyo umuhanuzi ahanuye iby’amahoro, ibyo yavuze bikabaho, ni bwo bamenye ko yatumwe na Yehova koko.”

10 Nuko umuhanuzi Hananiya afata umugogo wari ku ijosi ry’umuhanuzi Yeremiya arawuvuna.+ 11 Hanyuma Hananiya avugira imbere y’abaturage bose ati: “Yehova aravuga ati: ‘mu myaka ibiri, uko ni ko nzavuna umugogo wa Nebukadinezari umwami w’i Babuloni, nywuvane ku ijosi ry’ibihugu byose.’”+ Nuko umuhanuzi Yeremiya arigendera.

12 Umuhanuzi Hananiya amaze kuvuna umugogo wari ku ijosi ry’umuhanuzi Yeremiya, Yehova yabwiye Yeremiya ati: 13 “Genda ubwire Hananiya uti: ‘Yehova aravuga ati: “wavunnye umugogo w’igiti,+ ariko uzakora umugogo w’icyuma wo kuwusimbuza.” 14 Kuko Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli avuga ati: “nzashyira umugogo w’icyuma ku ijosi ry’ibyo bihugu byose kugira ngo bikorere Nebukadinezari umwami w’i Babuloni; kandi koko bigomba kumukorera.+ Ndetse nzamuha n’inyamaswa zo mu gasozi.”’”+

15 Nuko umuhanuzi Yeremiya abwira umuhanuzi Hananiya+ ati: “Hananiya we, ndakwinginze tega amatwi! Yehova ntiyagutumye, ahubwo watumye aba bantu bizera ibinyoma.+ 16 Ni yo mpamvu Yehova avuga ati: ‘umva ngiye kugukura ku isi. Uzapfa muri uyu mwaka kuko watumye abantu basuzugura Yehova.’”+

17 Nuko umuhanuzi Hananiya apfa muri uwo mwaka, mu kwezi kwa karindwi.

29 Aya ni yo magambo yari mu ibaruwa umuhanuzi Yeremiya yanditse ari i Yerusalemu, akayoherereza abasigaye bo mu bayobozi b’abari barajyanywe i Babuloni ku ngufu, abatambyi, abahanuzi n’abaturage bose, ni ukuvuga abo Nebukadinezari yavanye i Yerusalemu akabajyana i Babuloni ku ngufu. 2 Icyo gihe umwami Yekoniya,+ umugabekazi,*+ abakozi b’ibwami, abatware b’i Buyuda n’i Yerusalemu, abanyabukorikori n’abakora ibintu mu byuma,* bari baravanywe i Yerusalemu.+ 3 Iyo baruwa yajyanywe na Elasa umuhungu wa Shafani+ na Gemariya umuhungu wa Hilukiya, ni ukuvuga abo Sedekiya+ umwami w’u Buyuda yatumye i Babuloni kuri Nebukadinezari umwami w’i Babuloni. Yarimo amagambo agira ati:

4 “Uku ni ko Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli abwira abajyanywe ku ngufu i Babuloni bose, abo yatumye bava i Yerusalemu: 5 ‘mwubake amazu muyabemo kandi muhinge imirima murye imbuto zezemo. 6 Mushake abagore maze mubyare abahungu n’abakobwa, mushakire abahungu banyu abagore n’abakobwa banyu mubashakire abagabo kugira ngo na bo babyare abahungu n’abakobwa, mugwire mube benshi, ntimube bake. 7 Kandi uyu mujyi natumye mujyanwamo ku ngufu, mujye muwusabira amahoro, musenge Yehova muwusabira kuko nugira amahoro namwe muzagira amahoro.+ 8 Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli aravuga ati: “ntimukemere ko abahanuzi n’abapfumu banyu babashuka+ kandi ntimukumve inzozi bavuga ko barose. 9 Kuko ‘babahanurira ibinyoma mu izina ryanjye, ariko si njye wabatumye,’+ ni ko Yehova avuga.”’”

10 “Yehova aravuga ati: ‘nimumara imyaka 70 i Babuloni, nzabitaho+ nkore ibyo nabasezeranyije, mbagarure aha hantu.’+

11 “Yehova aravuga ati: ‘kuko nzi neza ibyo ngiye kubakorera; nzabaha amahoro si ibyago,+ kugira ngo muzamererwe neza mu gihe kizaza kandi mugire ibyiringiro.+ 12 Muzampamagara muze munsenge kandi nzabumva.’+

13 “‘Muzanshaka mumbone+ kuko muzanshaka mubikuye ku mutima.+ 14 Yehova aravuga ati: “nzatuma mumbona.+ Nzahuriza hamwe abantu banyu bajyanywe mu kindi gihugu ku ngufu, mbahurize hamwe mbavanye mu bihugu byose n’ahantu hose nabatatanyirije.+ Nzabagarura aho natumye muva mukajyanwa mu kindi gihugu ku ngufu,” ni ko Yehova avuga.+

15 “Ariko mwaravuze muti: ‘Yehova yaduhaye abahanuzi i Babuloni.’

16 “Uku ni ko Yehova abwira umwami wicara ku ntebe y’ubwami ya Dawidi+ n’abantu bose batuye muri uyu mujyi, ari bo bavandimwe banyu batajyanye namwe mu kindi gihugu. 17 ‘Yehova nyiri ingabo aravuga ati: “ngiye kubateza intambara, inzara n’icyorezo,*+ kandi nzabagira nk’imbuto z’umutini zaboze* zidashobora kuribwa kuko ari mbi.”’+

18 “‘Nzabakurikiza intambara,+ inzara n’icyorezo kandi nzabahindura ikintu gitera ubwoba ubwami bwose bwo mu isi.+ Mu bihugu byose nabatatanyirijemo, abantu bazabavuma,* nibababona batangare, bavugirize+ kubera kubasuzugura kandi babatuke,+ 19 kuko banze kumva amagambo yanjye,’ ni ko Yehova avuga, ‘ayo natumye abagaragu banjye b’abahanuzi bakayababwira inshuro nyinshi.’*+

“‘Ariko mwanze kumva.’+ Ni ko Yehova avuga.

20 “Ubwo rero, mwebwe mwese abajyanywe i Babuloni, abo nirukanye i Yerusalemu, nimwumve ijambo rya Yehova. 21 Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli avuze ibizaba kuri Ahabu umuhungu wa Kolaya na Sedekiya umuhungu wa Maseya, babahanurira ibinyoma mu izina ryanjye,+ agira ati: ‘ngiye kubateza Nebukadinezari* umwami w’i Babuloni kandi azabicira imbere yanyu. 22 Ibizababaho, bizahinduka amagambo y’umuvumo, azajya asubirwamo n’abantu b’i Buyuda bajyanywe i Babuloni ku ngufu, agira ati: “Yehova arakakugira nka Sedekiya na Ahabu, abo umwami w’i Babuloni yatwikiye mu muriro!” 23 Kuko bakomeje gukorera ibintu biteye isoni muri Isirayeli,+ bagasambana n’abagore ba bagenzi babo kandi bakavuga ibinyoma mu izina ryanjye, bavuga ibyo ntabategetse.+

“Yehova aravuga ati: ‘“ibyo ndabizi kandi ni njye ubihamya.”’”+

24 “Uzabwire Shemaya+ w’i Nehelamu uti: 25 ‘Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli aravuga ati: “kubera ko wanditse amabaruwa mu izina ryawe, ukayoherereza abari i Yerusalemu bose na Zefaniya+ umuhungu wa Maseya umutambyi n’abatambyi bose, uvuga uti: 26 ‘Yehova yakugize umutambyi agusimbuza umutambyi Yehoyada, kugira ngo ube umugenzuzi mukuru w’inzu ya Yehova maze umuntu wese usaze akitwara nk’umuhanuzi, umufungire mu mbago* no mu byuma byo mu ijosi.*+ 27 None se kuki utagira inama Yeremiya wo muri Anatoti+ witwara nk’umuhanuzi ubahanurira?+ 28 Yageze n’ubwo adutumaho turi i Babuloni ati: “muzamarayo igihe kirekire. Nimwubake amazu muyabemo, muhinge imirima murye imbuto zezemo,+ ...”’”’”

29 Igihe umutambyi Zefaniya+ yasomeraga umuhanuzi Yeremiya urwo rwandiko, 30 Yehova yabwiye Yeremiya ati: 31 “Tuma ku bajyanywe i Babuloni ku ngufu bose uti: ‘Yehova avuze ibirebana na Shemaya w’i Nehelamu ati: “kubera ko Shemaya yabahanuriye kandi atari njye wamutumye, akagerageza kubashuka ngo mwizere ibinyoma,+ 32 ni yo mpamvu Yehova avuze ati: ‘ngiye guhana Shemaya w’i Nehelamu n’abamukomokaho. Muri aba bantu bazarokoka, nta muntu wo mu muryango we uzaba urimo. Kandi Shemaya ntazabona ibyiza nzakorera aba bantu, kuko yatumye abantu basuzugura Yehova.’”’” Ni ko Yehova avuga.

30 Yehova yavuganye na Yeremiya aramubwira ati: 2 “Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli aravuga ati: ‘andika mu gitabo amagambo yose nkubwira. 3 Yehova aravuga ati: “igihe kizagera maze mpurize hamwe abantu banjye bajyanywe mu kindi gihugu ku ngufu, ari bo Bisirayeli n’Abayuda,”+ ni ko Yehova avuga, “kandi nzabagarura mu gihugu nahaye ba sekuruza cyongere kibe icyabo.”’”+

4 Aya ni yo magambo Yehova yabwiye Abisirayeli n’Abayuda:

 5 Yehova aravuga ati:

“Twumvise amajwi y’abantu bishwe n’ubwoba.

Hari ubwoba kandi nta mahoro ahari.

 6 Nimubaze niba umugabo ashobora kubyara.

Kuki buri muntu ubona afite ubwoba mu maso?

 7 Ayi we! Ni umunsi uteye ubwoba.*+

8 Yehova nyiri ingabo aravuga ati: “Kuri uwo munsi, nzavuna umugogo* uri ku ijosi ryabo n’imigozi ibaboshye nyicemo kabiri kandi abanyamahanga* ntibazongera kubagira abacakara* babo. 9 Bazakorera Yehova Imana yabo, bakorere na Dawidi umwami nzabaha.”+

10 Yehova aravuga ati: “Naho wowe Yakobo umugaragu wanjye, ntutinye.

Ntugire ubwoba Isirayeli we!+

11 Yehova aravuga ati: “Kuko ndi kumwe nawe kugira ngo ngukize.

Ibihugu byose nabatatanyirijemo nzabirimbura.+

Icyakora wowe sinzakurimbura.+

12 Yehova aravuga ati:

“Nta muti wavura igikomere cyawe.+

Igisebe cyawe ntigishobora gukira.

14 Abagukunda cyane bose barakwibagiwe.+

Ntibakigushaka.

15 Kuki utakishwa n’igikomere cyawe?

Ububabare bwawe ntibushobora gushira.

‘Siyoni nta muntu uyishaka.’”+

18 Yehova aravuga ati:

19 Bazaririmba indirimbo zo gushimira kandi baseke.+

Nzahana abamugirira nabi bose.+

Nzatuma aza hafi yanjye kandi na we azanyegera.”

Yehova aravuga ati: “Naho ubundi se ni nde watinyuka kunyegera?”

22 “Muzaba abanjye+ nanjye mbe Imana yanyu.”+

23 Dore umujinya wa Yehova uzaza umeze nk’umuyaga mwinshi.+

Umuyaga wa serwakira uzikaragira ku mitwe y’ababi.

Ibyo muzabisobanukirwa mu minsi ya nyuma.+

31 Yehova aravuga ati: “Icyo gihe nzaba Imana y’imiryango yose ya Isirayeli, na bo bazaba abantu banjye.”+

 2 Yehova aravuga ati:

 3 Yehova yambonekeye ari kure arambwira ati:

“Nagukunze urukundo ruhoraho.

Ni yo mpamvu nakomeje kukugaragariza urukundo rudahemuka.*+

 4 Nzongera nkubake kandi koko uzubakwa.+

 5 Uzongera gutera imizabibu ku misozi y’i Samariya.+

Abatera imizabibu bazayitera kandi bishimire kurya imbuto zayo.+

 6 Kuko hari umunsi uzagera abarinzi bo mu karere k’imisozi miremire ya Efurayimu bagasakuza bati:

‘Nimuhaguruke tuzamuke tujye i Siyoni, dusange Yehova Imana yacu.’”+

 7 Yehova aravuga ati:

Mutangaze ubwo butumwa. Musingize Imana muvuga muti:

‘Yehova, kiza abantu bawe, ari bo basigaye bo muri Isirayeli.’+

 8 Nzabagarura mbavanye mu gihugu cyo mu majyaruguru.+

Nzabahuriza hamwe mbavanye mu turere twa kure cyane tw’isi.+

Bazagaruka hano ari abantu benshi.+

“Uwatatanyije Abisirayeli azabahuriza hamwe.

Azabarinda nk’uko umwungeri arinda amatungo ye.+

15 “Yehova aravuga ati:

‘I Rama+ humvikanye ijwi ryo kurira no gutaka cyane.

Ni Rasheli uririra abahungu* be.+

16 Yehova aravuga ati:

‘Bazagaruka bave mu gihugu cy’umwanzi.’+

18 “Numvise Efurayimu arira avuga ati:

20 Yehova aravuga ati: “Ese Efurayimu si umwana wanjye w’agaciro nkunda cyane?+

Nubwo namuhannye, sinigeze mutererena.

Ni yo mpamvu iyo mutekereje mpangayika cyane.*+

Kandi rwose nzamugirira impuhwe.”+

Itondere umuhanda, witondere inzira unyuramo.+

Yewe mukobwa* wa Isirayeli we, garuka! Garuka mu mijyi yawe.

22 Wa mukobwa w’umuhemu we, uzakomeza kubaho udafata umwanzuro ugeze ryari?

Yehova yaremye ikintu gishya mu isi.

Umugore azashakisha uko yakongera kubana neza n’umugabo we.”

23 Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli aravuga ati: “Bazongera kuvugira aya magambo mu gihugu cy’u Buyuda no mu mijyi yaho igihe nzagarura abari barajyanywe mu kindi gihugu ku ngufu, bati: ‘Yehova aguhe umugisha, wowe hantu ho gutura hakiranuka,+ wowe musozi wera.’+ 24 Abahinzi n’abungeri,* bose hamwe bazatura mu Buyuda no mu mijyi yaho yose.+ 25 Unaniwe* nzamukomeza kandi ufite intege nke* muhe ibyo akeneye.”+

26 Nuko ndakanguka ntangira kureba; nari nasinziriye neza cyane.

27 Yehova aravuga ati: “Mu minsi igiye kuza, nzatuma abo mu muryango wa Isirayeli n’abo mu muryango wa Yuda baba benshi, ntume n’amatungo yabo aba menshi.”+

28 Yehova aravuga ati: “Nk’uko nakomezaga kubakurikirana kugira ngo mbarandure, mbagushe hasi, mbasenye, mbarimbure kandi mbangize,+ ni ko nzakomeza kubakurikirana kugira ngo mbubake kandi mbatere.+ 29 Icyo gihe ntibazongera kuvuga bati: ‘abagabo bariye imizabibu itarera, ariko abana ni bo bababaye amenyo.’*+ 30 Ahubwo umuntu wese azapfa azize icyaha cye. Umuntu wese uzarya imizabibu itarera, ni we uzababara amenyo.”

31 Yehova aravuga ati: “Mu minsi iri imbere nzagirana isezerano rishya n’abo mu muryango wa Isirayeli n’abo mu muryango wa Yuda.+ 32 Ntirizaba rimeze nk’isezerano nagiranye na ba sekuruza ku munsi nabafataga ukuboko nkabakura mu gihugu cya Egiputa,+ ‘isezerano bishe,+ nubwo ari njye wari shebuja.’* Ni ko Yehova avuga.”

33 Yehova aravuga ati: “Iri ni ryo sezerano nzasezerana n’abo mu muryango wa Isirayeli nyuma y’iyo minsi. Nzashyira amategeko yanjye muri bo+ kandi nzayandika mu mitima yabo.+ Nzaba Imana yabo na bo babe abantu banjye.”+

34 Yehova aravuga ati: “Ntibazongera kwigishanya, ngo buri wese yigishe mugenzi we cyangwa umuvandimwe we ati: ‘menya Yehova!’+ kuko bose bazamenya, uhereye ku muntu usanzwe ukageza ku ukomeye;+ nzabababarira ikosa ryabo kandi sinongere kwibuka icyaha cyabo.”+

37 Yehova aravuga ati: “‘Niba ijuru ryashobora gupimwa, fondasiyo z’isi na zo zikagenzurwa, ubwo nanjye nakwanga abagize urubyaro rwose rwa Isirayeli bitewe n’ibintu byose bakoze.’ Ni ko Yehova avuga.”+

38 Yehova aravuga ati: “Igihe kizagera maze Yehova yubakirwe umujyi+ uhereye ku Munara wa Hananeli+ ukageza ku Irembo ry’Inguni.+ 39 Umugozi bapimisha+ uzagenda ugere ku gasozi ka Garebu maze ukate werekeze i Gowa. 40 Ikibaya kirimo intumbi n’ivu* n’amaterasi yose, ukagenda ukagera mu Kibaya cya Kidironi,+ kugeza ku nguni y’Irembo ry’Ifarashi+ ahagana iburasirazuba, Yehova azabona ko ari ahantu hera.+ Ntihazongera kurandurwa cyangwa gusenywa.”

32 Mu mwaka wa 10 w’ubutegetsi bwa Sedekiya umwami w’u Buyuda, hakaba hari mu mwaka wa 18 w’ubutegetsi bwa Nebukadinezari* Yehova yavuganye na Yeremiya.+ 2 Icyo gihe, ingabo z’umwami w’i Babuloni zari zigose Yerusalemu kandi umuhanuzi Yeremiya yari afungiwe mu Rugo rw’Abarinzi+ rwari mu nzu* y’umwami w’u Buyuda. 3 Sedekiya umwami w’u Buyuda yari yaramufunze,+ avuga ati: “Kuki uhanura uvuga uti: ‘Yehova aravuga ati: “uyu mujyi ngiye kuwuha umwami w’i Babuloni kandi azawufata,+ 4 ndetse Sedekiya umwami w’u Buyuda ntazacika Abakaludaya, kuko umwami w’i Babuloni azamufata; azavugana na we imbonankubone barebana mu maso.”’+ 5 Yehova aravuga ati: ‘azajyana Sedekiya i Babuloni agumeyo, kugeza igihe nzafatira umwanzuro w’icyo nzamukorera. Nubwo mukomeza kurwanya Abakaludaya, ntimuzatsinda.’”+

6 Nuko Yeremiya aravuga ati: “Yehova yambwiye ati: 7 ‘dore Hanameli umuhungu wa Shalumu uvukana na papa wawe, aje kukubwira ati: “gura umurima wanjye uri muri Anatoti,+ kuko ari wowe wa mbere ufite uburenganzira bwo kuwucungura.”’”*+

8 Hanyuma Hanameli umuhungu wa data wacu araza, nk’uko Yehova yari yabivuze, ansanga mu Rugo rw’Abarinzi maze arambwira ati: “Ndakwinginze, gura umurima wanjye uri muri Anatoti mu gihugu cya Benyamini, kuko ari wowe ufite uburenganzira bwo kuwuhabwa, ukaba uwawe no kuwucungura. Ngaho wugure ube uwawe.” Nuko mpita menya ko ari byo Yehova yashakaga.

9 Hanyuma ngura na Hanameli umuhungu wa data wacu uwo murima wari muri Anatoti, muha+ garama 80* z’ifeza n’ibiceri 10 by’ifeza. 10 Nuko nandika inyandiko y’amasezerano,+ nyishyiraho ikimenyetso gifatanya, ntora abagabo bo kubihamya+ maze ibyo nagombaga kumwishyura, mbimupimira ku munzani. 11 Hanyuma mfata inyandiko y’amasezerano y’ubuguzi, iyo nari nashyizeho ikimenyetso gifatanya nkurikije ibisabwa n’amategeko n’indi itaririho ikimenyetso gifatanya. 12 Nuko ya nyandiko y’amasezerano y’ubuguzi nyiha Baruki+ umuhungu wa Neriya,+ umuhungu wa Mahaseya, nyimuhera imbere ya Hanameli, umuhungu wa data wacu n’imbere y’abagabo banditse kuri iyo nyandiko n’imbere y’Abayahudi bose bari bicaye mu Rugo rw’Abarinzi.+

13 Ntegeka Baruki bose babyumva nti: 14 “Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli aravuga ati: ‘fata izi nzandiko zombi, iyi y’amasezerano y’ubuguzi iriho ikimenyetso gifatanya n’iriya yindi itariho ikimenyetso gifatanya, ugende uzishyire mu kibindi kugira ngo zizabikwe igihe kirekire,’ 15 kuko Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli avuga ati: ‘amazu, imirima n’imizabibu bizongera kugurwa muri iki gihugu.’”+

16 Nuko maze guha Baruki umuhungu wa Neriya inyandiko y’amasezerano y’ubuguzi, nsenga Yehova nti: 17 “Mwami w’Ikirenga Yehova! Ni wowe waremye ijuru n’isi ukoresheje imbaraga zawe nyinshi+ n’ukuboko kwawe kurambuye. Nta kintu na kimwe ubona ko gitangaje, 18 wowe ugaragariza urukundo rudahemuka abantu babarirwa mu bihumbi, ariko ugahanira abana ibyaha bya ba papa babo,*+ wowe Mana y’ukuri ikomeye kandi ifite imbaraga, ukaba witwa Yehova nyiri ingabo. 19 Uri Imana ifite imigambi ihebuje, ikora ibikorwa bikomeye+ kandi amaso yawe areba ibyo abantu bakora byose,+ kugira ngo witure buri wese ukurikije imyifatire ye n’ibyo akora.+ 20 Wakoreye ibimenyetso n’ibitangaza mu gihugu cya Egiputa, abantu bakaba bakibyibuka kugeza uyu munsi kandi byatumye umenyekana muri Isirayeli no mu bantu bose+ nk’uko bimeze uyu munsi. 21 Wakuye abantu bawe, ari bo Bisirayeli mu gihugu cya Egiputa, ukoresheje ibimenyetso, ibitangaza ukuboko gukomeye kandi kurambuye hamwe n’ibikorwa biteye ubwoba.+

22 “Nyuma yaho wabahaye iki gihugu wari wararahiriye ba sekuruza+ ko uzabaha, igihugu gitemba amata n’ubuki.+ 23 Nuko baraza baragifata, ariko ntibakumviye cyangwa ngo bakurikize amategeko yawe. Nta kintu na kimwe wabategetse gukora bigeze bakora, bituma ubateza ibi byago byose.+ 24 Dore abantu bateye uyu mujyi+ bawurundaho ibyo kuririraho kugira ngo bawufate kandi bitewe n’intambara,+ inzara n’icyorezo,*+ Abakaludaya bawuteye bazawufata. Ibyo wavuze byose byarabaye nk’uko ubyirebera. 25 Ariko Mwami w’Ikirenga Yehova, warambwiye uti: ‘tanga amafaranga ugure uyu murima utore n’abagabo bo kubihamya,’ nubwo uyu mujyi uzafatwa n’Abakaludaya.”

26 Nuko Yehova abwira Yeremiya ati: 27 “Ni njye Yehova Imana y’abantu bose. Ese hari ikintu gitangaje kuri njye? 28 Ni yo mpamvu Yehova avuga ati: ‘ngiye guha uyu mujyi Abakaludaya n’Umwami Nebukadinezari* w’i Babuloni kandi azawufata.+ 29 Abakaludaya bateye uyu mujyi bazawinjiramo bawutwike wose ushye,+ batwike n’amazu afite ibisenge batambiragaho Bayali ibitambo kandi bagasukira izindi mana ituro ry’ibyokunywa kugira ngo bandakaze.’+

30 “‘Abisirayeli n’Abayuda bakoraga ibyo nanga kuva bakiri bato.+ Abisirayeli bakomeza kundakaza bitewe n’ibikorwa byabo,’ ni ko Yehova avuga. 31 ‘Kuko kuva uyu mujyi wakubakwa kugeza uyu munsi, wagiye untera umujinya n’uburakari gusa.+ Ni yo mpamvu ugomba kuva imbere yanjye,+ 32 bitewe n’ibibi byose Abisirayeli n’Abayuda bakoze kugira ngo bandakaze, ni ukuvuga ibyo bo, abami babo,+ abatware babo,+ abatambyi babo, abahanuzi babo,+ hamwe n’abantu bo mu Buyuda n’abaturage b’i Yerusalemu bakoze. 33 Bakomeje kuntera umugongo aho kundeba.+ Nubwo nagerageje kubigisha kenshi,* nta n’umwe muri bo wateze amatwi ngo yemere gukosorwa.+ 34 Nanone bafashe ibigirwamana biteye iseseme, babishyira mu nzu yitirirwa izina ryanjye kugira ngo bayihumanye.+ 35 Ikindi kandi, bubakiye Bayali ahantu hirengeye mu Kibaya cy’Umuhungu wa Hinomu,*+ kugira ngo bajye bahatwikira abahungu babo n’abakobwa babo babatambira Moleki,+ akaba ari ikintu ntigeze mbategeka+ kandi bikaba bitarigeze biza mu mutima wanjye* ko bakora ikintu kibi nk’icyo, bagatuma Yuda akora icyaha.’

36 “Ubwo rero, ibi ni byo Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli avuga, bizaba kuri uyu mujyi muvuga ko umwami w’i Babuloni azafata akoresheje intambara, inzara n’icyorezo: 37 ‘Dore ngiye kubahuriza hamwe mbakuye mu bihugu byose nabatatanyirijemo mfite umujinya n’uburakari, ndetse uburakari bukaze.+ Nzabagarura aha hantu, ntume bahatura bafite umutekano.+ 38 Bazaba abanjye, nanjye mbe Imana yabo.+ 39 Nzabaha umutima umwe+ n’inzira imwe kugira ngo bahore bantinya, bityo bazabeho neza bo n’abana babo.+ 40 Nzagirana na bo isezerano rihoraho iteka ryose+ ry’uko ntazigera ndeka kubagirira neza+ kandi nzatuma bantinya mu mitima yabo kugira ngo batazanta.+ 41 Nzanezezwa no kubagirira neza+ kandi nzabatera muri iki gihugu mbakomeze,+ mbigiranye umutima wanjye wose n’ubugingo* bwanjye bwose.’”

42 “Yehova aravuga ati: ‘nk’uko nateje aba bantu ibi byago byose bikomeye, ni na ko nzabakorera ibyiza byose mbasezeranya.+ 43 Imirima izongera igurwe muri iki gihugu,+ nubwo muvuga muti: “cyabaye ubutayu nta muntu cyangwa itungo bikihaba kandi cyahawe Abakaludaya.”’

44 “Yehova aravuga ati: ‘dore uko bizagenda mu gihugu cya Benyamini,+ mu nkengero za Yerusalemu, mu mijyi y’u Buyuda,+ mu mijyi yo mu karere k’imisozi miremire, mu mijyi yo mu kibaya+ no mu mijyi yo mu majyepfo: Abantu bazagura imirima amafaranga maze byandikwe mu nyandiko z’amasezerano y’ubuguzi, zishyirweho n’ikimenyetso gifatanya kandi batore abagabo bo kubihamya, kuko nzagarura abantu babo bajyanywe mu kindi gihugu ku ngufu.’”+

33 Yehova yongeye kuvugana na Yeremiya ku nshuro ya kabiri, igihe yari agifungiwe mu Rugo rw’Abarinzi,+ ati: 2 “Yehova Umuremyi w’isi, Yehova wayiremye akayikomeza, izina rye rikaba ari Yehova, aravuga ati: 3 ‘mpamagara nzakwitaba kandi nkubwire ibintu bikomeye bigoye gusobanukirwa, ibintu utigeze umenya.’”+

4 “Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli yavuze ibizaba ku mazu yo muri uyu mujyi n’amazu y’abami b’u Buyuda yashenywe bitewe n’ibirundo byo kuririraho n’inkota y’umwanzi,+ 5 n’ibizaba ku bazaza kurwanya Abakaludaya, bakuzuza aha hantu intumbi z’abo nishe bitewe n’uburakari bwanjye n’umujinya wanjye, abakoze ibintu bibi, bigatuma ntakomeza kwita kuri uyu mujyi: 6 ‘ngiye gutuma uyu mujyi woroherwa kandi ugire ubuzima bwiza.+ Nzabakiza kandi ntume bagira amahoro menshi banasobanukirwe ukuri.+ 7 Nzagarura abajyanywe mu kindi gihugu ku ngufu b’i Buyuda n’Abisirayeli+ kandi nzabubaka nk’uko nabigenje mbere.+ 8 Nzabeza mbakureho amakosa yose bankoreye,+ mbababarire ibyaha byose bankoreye n’ibicumuro byabo.+ 9 Kumenyekana k’uyu mujyi bizanshimisha kandi ibihugu byose byo ku isi bizansingiza, bimpe ikuzo nibimara kumenya ibyiza byose nakoreye abari barajyanywe ku ngufu mu kindi gihugu.+ Bizagira ubwoba+ kandi bitinye bitewe n’ibintu byiza n’amahoro nzaha uwo mujyi.’”+

10 “Yehova aravuga ati: ‘aha hantu muzaba muvuga ko habaye ubutayu, nta muntu cyangwa itungo bihaba, ni ukuvuga mu mijyi y’u Buyuda no mu mihanda y’i Yerusalemu yahindutse amatongo, nta muntu uyirimo, cyangwa abaturage ndetse nta n’amatungo bihaba, hazongera kumvikana 11 ijwi ryo kwishima n’ijwi ryo kunezerwa,+ ijwi ry’umukwe n’ijwi ry’umugeni, ijwi ry’abavuga bati: “nimushimire Yehova nyiri ingabo kuko Yehova ari mwiza;+ urukundo rwe rudahemuka ruhoraho iteka ryose.”’+

“‘Bazazana ibitambo byo gushimira mu nzu ya Yehova,+ nk’uko byahoze mbere, kuko abantu bo muri iki gihugu bajyanywe ku ngufu nzabagarura.’ Ni ko Yehova avuga.”

12 “Yehova nyiri ingabo aravuga ati: ‘muri iki gihugu cyabaye amatongo, ahatakiba umuntu cyangwa itungo no mu mijyi yaho yose, hazongera kuba inzuri* kandi abashumba bazahashyira amatungo yabo kugira ngo aharuhukire.’+

13 “‘Mu mijyi yo mu turere tw’imisozi miremire, mu mijyi yo mu bibaya, mu mijyi yo mu majyepfo, mu gihugu cya Benyamini, mu nkengero za Yerusalemu+ no mu mijyi y’i Buyuda,+ amatungo azongera kunyura munsi y’ukuboko k’ushinzwe kuyabara,’ ni ko Yehova avuga.”

14 “‘Igihe kigiye kugera,’ ni ko Yehova avuga, ‘maze nkore ibintu byiza nasezeranyije umuryango wa Isirayeli n’umuryango wa Yuda.+ 15 Muri iyo minsi no muri icyo gihe, nzatuma Dawidi akomokwaho n’umuntu*+ ukiranuka kandi azatuma mu gihugu habamo ubutabera no gukiranuka.+ 16 Muri iyo minsi ab’i Buyuda bazakizwa+ kandi i Yerusalemu hazaba umutekano.+ Hazitwa: Yehova Ni we Gukiranuka Kwacu.’”+

17 “Yehova aravuga ati: ‘Dawidi ntazabura umuntu umukomokaho wicara ku ntebe y’ubwami y’umuryango wa Isirayeli,+ 18 kandi abatambyi b’Abalewi ntibazabura umuntu uhagarara imbere yanjye, kugira ngo atambe ibitambo bitwikwa n’umuriro, amaturo y’ibinyampeke n’ibindi bitambo.’”

19 Yehova yongera kubwira Yeremiya ati: 20 “Uku ni ko Yehova avuga ati: ‘niba mushobora gukuraho isezerano ryanjye ry’amanywa n’isezerano ryanjye ry’ijoro, ku buryo amanywa n’ijoro bitabaho mu gihe cyabyo,+ 21 ubwo n’isezerano nagiranye n’umugaragu wanjye Dawidi na ryo ryaba rishobora kwicwa+ maze ntagire umuhungu utegeka ari umwami yicaye ku ntebe ye y’ubwami,+ kimwe n’isezerano nagiranye n’abatambyi b’Abalewi bankorera.+ 22 Nk’uko ingabo zo mu kirere* zitabarika n’umucanga wo ku nyanja udashobora gupimwa, ni ko nzatuma abakomoka kuri Dawidi n’Abalewi bankorera baba benshi.’”

23 Yehova yongera kuvugana na Yeremiya aramubwira ati: 24 “Ese ntiwumvise ibyo aba bantu bavuga bati: ‘ya miryango ibiri Yehova yatoranyije, azayita?’ Basuzugura abantu banjye kandi ntibakibabona nk’ishyanga.

25 “Yehova aravuga ati: ‘nk’uko nashyizeho isezerano ryanjye ry’amanywa n’ijoro,+ ni ukuvuga amategeko agenga ijuru n’isi,+ 26 ni ko ntazigera nta abakomoka kuri Yakobo n’abakomoka ku mugaragu wanjye Dawidi kandi nta kizambuza kuvana mu babakomokaho abazategeka abo mu muryango wa Aburahamu, Isaka na Yakobo. Nzagarura abantu babo bajyanywe ku ngufu mu kindi gihugu+ kandi nzabagirira impuhwe.’”+

34 Igihe Nebukadinezari* umwami w’i Babuloni n’ingabo ze zose n’ubwami bwose bwo ku isi yategekaga, n’abo mu bihugu byose barwanyaga Yerusalemu n’imijyi yayo yose, Yehova yavuganye na Yeremiya aramubwira ati:+

2 “Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli aravuga ati: ‘genda ubwire Sedekiya+ umwami w’u Buyuda uti: “Yehova aravuga ati: ‘uyu mujyi ngiye kuwuha umwami w’i Babuloni kandi azawutwika.+ 3 Nawe ntuzamucika, kuko uzafatwa bakagushyira umwami w’i Babuloni.+ Uzavugana na we imbonankubone murebana mu maso kandi uzajyanwa i Babuloni.’+ 4 Icyakora, yewe Sedekiya umwami w’u Buyuda we, ‘umva ibyo Yehova avuga. Yehova yavuze uko bizakugendekera agira ati: “ntuzicwa n’inkota. 5 Uzapfa mu mahoro+ kandi bazagutwikira imibavu nk’uko babikoreye ba sogokuruza bawe bakubanjirije kuba abami kandi bazakuririra bati: ‘ye baba databuja wee!’ nubundi ‘nari narabivuze.’ Ni ko Yehova avuga.”’”’”

6 Nuko umuhanuzi Yeremiya abwirira Sedekiya umwami w’u Buyuda ayo magambo yose i Yerusalemu. 7 Icyo gihe ingabo z’umwami w’i Babuloni zarwanyaga Yerusalemu n’imijyi y’i Buyuda yose yari isigaye,+ ari yo Lakishi+ na Azeka,+ kuko ari yo mijyi yari ikikijwe n’inkuta yari isigaye itarafatwa mu mijyi yose y’i Buyuda.

8 Yehova yavuganye na Yeremiya nyuma y’uko Umwami Sedekiya agirana isezerano n’abantu bari i Yerusalemu bose, bakiyemeza gusezerera abagaragu babo.+ 9 Buri wese yiyemeje gusezerera umugaragu we w’Umuheburayo, yaba umugabo cyangwa umugore, ku buryo nta n’umwe wari gukomeza kugira umugaragu umuvandimwe we w’Umuyahudi. 10 Nuko abatware n’abaturage bose barumvira. Bari basezeranyije ko buri wese asezerera umugaragu we w’umugabo cyangwa umugore, ntibakomeze kubagira abagaragu babo; barumviye barabareka baragenda. 11 Ariko nyuma yaho bagaruye abagaragu babo n’abaja babo bari barasezereye, babahatira kongera kubabera abagaragu. 12 Nuko ijambo rya Yehova riza kuri Yeremiya riturutse kuri Yehova rigira riti:

13 “Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli aravuga ati: ‘nagiranye isezerano na ba sogokuruza banyu,+ igihe nabakuraga mu gihugu cya Egiputa aho bakoraga ubucakara,+ ndavuga nti: 14 “nyuma y’imyaka irindwi buri wese muri mwe ajye arekura umuvandimwe we w’Umuheburayo yaguze, wamukoreye+ imyaka itandatu. Mugomba kubareka bakagenda.” Ariko ba sogokuruza banyu banze kunyumvira kandi ntibantega amatwi. 15 Hashize igihe gito* mwisubiyeho mukora ibyo mbona ko ari byiza, buri wese asezerera mugenzi we wamukoreraga kandi mubyemerera imbere yanjye mu nzu yitiriwe izina ryanjye. 16 Ariko mwahinduye umwanzuro mwari mwarafashe maze mwanduza* izina ryanjye,+ mugarura abagaragu banyu baba abagabo n’abagore, abo mwari mwararetse bakagenda nk’uko babyifuzaga,* mubahatira kongera kubabera abagaragu.’

17 “Ni yo mpamvu Yehova avuga ati: ‘buri wese muri mwe yari yiyemeje kurekura umuvandimwe we na mugenzi we, ariko ntimwanyumviye.+ Uyu ni wo mudendezo ngiye kubaha,’ ni ko Yehova avuga. ‘Muzicwa n’inkota, icyorezo* n’inzara.+ Nzabahindura ikintu gitera ubwoba ubwami bwose bwo mu isi.+ 18 Ibi ni byo bizaba ku bantu bishe isezerano ryanjye, ntibakurikize amagambo yo mu isezerano basezeraniye imbere yanjye, igihe bacaga ikimasa mo kabiri bakanyura hagati y’ibice byacyo,+ 19 ni ukuvuga abatware bo mu Buyuda, abatware b’i Yerusalemu, abakozi b’ibwami, abatambyi n’abaturage bo mu gihugu bose banyuze hagati y’ibice bya cya kimasa: 20 Nzabateza abanzi babo n’abashaka kubica* kandi intumbi zabo zizaribwa n’ibisiga byo mu kirere hamwe n’inyamaswa zo ku isi.+ 21 Sedekiya umwami w’u Buyuda n’abatware be, nzabateza abanzi babo n’abashaka kubica,* mbateze ingabo z’umwami w’i Babuloni+ zasubiye inyuma zikava iwanyu.’+

22 “‘Ngiye kubaha itegeko kandi nzabagarura muri uyu mujyi bawutere, bawufate maze bawutwike.+ Imijyi y’i Buyuda nzayihindura amatongo isigare nta wuyituye,’+ ni ko Yehova avuga.”

35 Mu gihe cy’ubutegetsi bwa Yehoyakimu+ umuhungu wa Yosiya umwami w’u Buyuda, Yehova yabwiye Yeremiya ati: 2 “Genda ujye mu muryango w’Abarekabu+ uvugane na bo maze ubazane mu nzu ya Yehova, ubashyire muri kimwe mu byumba byo kuriramo* maze ubahe divayi banywe.”

3 Nuko mfata Yazaniya umuhungu wa Yeremiya, umuhungu wa Habaziniya, abavandimwe be, abahungu be bose n’abo mu muryango w’Abarekabu bose, 4 mbazana mu nzu ya Yehova. Nabashyize mu cyumba cyo kuriramo cy’abahungu ba Hanani, umuhungu wa Igidaliya umuntu w’Imana y’ukuri, cyari iruhande rw’icyumba cyo kuriramo cy’abatware cyari hejuru y’icyumba cyo kuriramo cya Maseya umuhungu wa Shalumu, umurinzi w’amarembo. 5 Hanyuma nshyira imbere y’Abarekabu ibikombe byuzuyemo divayi, ndababwira nti: “Nimunywe divayi.”

6 Ariko baransubiza bati: “Ntitunywa divayi, kuko sogokuruza Yehonadabu*+ umuhungu wa Rekabu yadutegetse ati: ‘mwebwe cyangwa abana banyu, ntimuzigere munywa divayi. 7 Kandi ntimukubake inzu cyangwa ngo mutere imbuto. Ntimugatere uruzabibu kandi ntimukarutunge ngo rube urwanyu. Ahubwo igihe cyose mujye muba mu mahema, kugira ngo mubeho igihe kirekire, mu gihugu mutuyemo kitari icyanyu.’ 8 Ubwo rero, dukomeje kumvira ibyo sogokuruza Yehonadabu umuhungu wa Rekabu yadutegetse byose, tukirinda kunywa divayi, twebwe n’abagore bacu n’abahungu bacu n’abakobwa bacu. 9 Nanone ntitwubaka amazu yo kubamo kandi nta mizabibu cyangwa imirima cyangwa imbuto dufite. 10 Dukomeza kuba mu mahema, tukumvira ibyo sogokuruza Yehonadabu* yadutegetse byose. 11 Ariko igihe Nebukadinezari* umwami w’i Babuloni yateraga igihugu,+ ni bwo twavuze tuti: ‘nimuze tujye i Yerusalemu duhunge ingabo z’Abakaludaya n’ingabo z’Abanyasiriya,’ none ubu dutuye i Yerusalemu.”

12 Nuko Yehova abwira Yeremiya ati: 13 “Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli aravuga ati: ‘genda ubwire abantu b’i Buyuda n’abaturage b’i Yerusalemu uti: “ese sinakomeje kubasaba kunyumvira?”+ Ni ko Yehova avuga. 14 “Yehonadabu umuhungu wa Rekabu yategetse abamukomotseho kutanywa divayi kandi baramwumviye, ntibayinywa kugeza uyu munsi, bityo baba bumviye itegeko rya sekuruza.+ Ariko njye navuganye namwe kenshi* mwanga kunyumvira.+ 15 Nakomeje kubatumaho abagaragu banjye bose b’abahanuzi, nkabatuma kenshi*+ nkababwira nti: ‘ndabinginze buri wese niyisubireho areke imyifatire ye mibi+ maze akore ibyiza. Ntimukumvire izindi mana kandi ntimukazikorere. Icyo gihe, ni bwo muzakomeza gutura muri iki gihugu nabahaye mwe na ba sogokuruza banyu.’+ Ariko mwanze kunyumvira kandi ntimwantega amatwi. 16 Abakomoka kuri Yehonadabu umuhungu wa Rekabu, bumviye itegeko sekuruza yabategetse,+ ariko aba bantu bo banze kunyumvira.”’”

17 “Ni yo mpamvu Yehova Imana nyiri ingabo, Imana ya Isirayeli avuga ati: ‘ngiye guteza u Buyuda n’abaturage b’i Yerusalemu bose ibyago byose nababwiye ko nzabateza,+ kuko nababwiye bakanga kumva, ngakomeza kubahamagara ariko ntibanyitabe.’”+

18 Nuko Yeremiya abwira abo mu muryango w’Abarekabu ati: “Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli, aravuga ati: ‘kuko mwumviye itegeko rya sogokuruza wanyu Yehonadabu mugakomeza gukurikiza ibyo yabategetse byose kandi mugakora ibyo yabasabye byose, 19 Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli aravuga ati: “Yehonadabu* umuhungu wa Rekabu, ntazabura uwo mu bamukomokaho unkorera.”’”

36 Mu mwaka wa kane w’ubutegetsi bwa Yehoyakimu+ umuhungu wa Yosiya umwami w’u Buyuda, Yehova yavuganye na Yeremiya aramubwira ati: 2 “Shaka umuzingo w’igitabo* wandikemo amagambo yose nakubwiye, mvuga ibizaba kuri Isirayeli n’u Buyuda+ n’ibihugu byose,+ uhereye ku munsi wa mbere navuganiyeho nawe, mu gihe cy’ubutegetsi bwa Yosiya kugeza uyu munsi.+ 3 Ahari wenda abo mu muryango wa Yuda bazumva ibyago byose nshaka kubateza maze bisubireho, buri wese areke imyifatire ye mibi, nanjye mbababarire ikosa ryabo n’icyaha cyabo.”+

4 Nuko Yeremiya ahamagara Baruki+ umuhungu wa Neriya maze Yeremiya amubwira amagambo yose Yehova yari yaramubwiye; Baruki ayandika mu muzingo w’igitabo.*+ 5 Yeremiya ategeka Baruki ati: “Kubera ko mfunzwe nkaba ntashobora kwinjira mu nzu ya Yehova, 6 ni wowe ugomba kugenda ugasoma mu ijwi rinini amagambo Yehova yambwiye, ayo nakubwiye ukayandika muri uyu muzingo. Uzayasomere abantu bose bari ku nzu ya Yehova ku munsi wo kwigomwa kurya no kunywa.* Ibyo bizatuma Abayuda bose baza baturutse mu mijyi yabo, bumva ibyo usoma. 7 Ahari wenda Yehova azumva ibyo basenga bamusaba kandi bisubireho buri wese areke imyifatire ye mibi, kuko Yehova yavuze ko afitiye aba bantu umujinya n’uburakari bwinshi cyane.”

8 Nuko Baruki umuhungu wa Neriya akora ibyo umuhanuzi Yeremiya yari yamutegetse byose. Asoma mu ijwi ryumvikana amagambo ya Yehova ari mu gitabo,* ayasomera mu nzu ya Yehova.+

9 Hanyuma mu mwaka wa gatanu w’ubutegetsi bwa Yehoyakimu,+ umuhungu wa Yosiya umwami w’u Buyuda, mu kwezi kwa cyenda, abantu bose bari muri Yerusalemu n’abari baraje i Yerusalemu baturutse mu mijyi y’u Buyuda bose, batangaza ko bagiye kwigomwa kurya no kunywa imbere ya Yehova.+ 10 Nuko Baruki asoma mu ijwi rinini amagambo ya Yeremiya yari mu gitabo,* ayasomera mu nzu ya Yehova mu cyumba* cya Gemariya+ umuhungu wa Shafani+ umwanditsi,* mu rugo rwo haruguru, mu muryango w’irembo rishya ry’inzu ya Yehova,+ ayasoma abantu bose bumva.

11 Mikaya umuhungu wa Gemariya, umuhungu wa Shafani yumvise amagambo yose ya Yehova yasomwaga muri icyo gitabo,* 12 aramanuka ajya ku nzu* y’umwami, mu cyumba cy’umunyamabanga. Abatware* bose bari bicaye aho: Elishama+ wari umunyamabanga, Delaya umuhungu wa Shemaya, Elunatani+ umuhungu wa Akibori,+ Gemariya umuhungu wa Shafani, Sedekiya umuhungu wa Hananiya n’abandi batware bose. 13 Mikaya ababwira amagambo yose yari yumvise, igihe Baruki yasomeraga abantu amagambo yo muri icyo gitabo.*

14 Nuko abatware bose batuma Yehudi umuhungu wa Netaniya, umuhungu wa Shelemiya, umuhungu wa Kushi kuri Baruki bati: “Fata umuzingo wasomeye abantu maze uze.” Baruki umuhungu wa Neriya afata uwo muzingo ajya kubareba. 15 Baramubwira bati: “Icara udusomere mu ijwi ryumvikana.” Nuko Baruki arawubasomera.

16 Bakimara kumva ayo magambo, barebana bafite ubwoba maze babwira Baruki bati: “Tugomba kubwira umwami ayo magambo yose.” 17 Nuko babaza Baruki bati: “Turakwinginze, tubwire uko wanditse ayo magambo yose. Ese ni we wayakubwiraga?” 18 Baruki arabasubiza ati: “Yambwiye ayo magambo yose, nanjye nyandikisha wino* muri iki gitabo.”* 19 Abo batware babwira Baruki bati: “Wowe na Yeremiya nimugende mwihishe kandi ntihagire umenya aho muri.”+

20 Nuko uwo muzingo bawubika mu cyumba cya Elishama wari umunyamabanga maze bajya kureba umwami mu rugo, bamubwira amagambo yose bari bumvise.

21 Hanyuma umwami atuma Yehudi+ kuzana wa muzingo. Yehudi aragenda awukura mu cyumba cya Elishama wari umunyamabanga, awusomera umwami n’abatware bose bari bahagaze iruhande rw’umwami. 22 Icyo gihe hari mu kwezi kwa cyenda,* kandi umwami yari yicaye mu nzu abamo mu mezi y’imbeho n’umuriro waka mu ziko imbere ye. 23 Iyo Yehudi yabaga amaze gusoma ibice bitatu cyangwa bine, umwami yacaga ibyo bice amaze gusoma akoresheje icyuma cy’umunyamabanga, akabijugunya mu muriro. Ibyo yakomeje kubikora kugeza igihe umuzingo wose washiriye mu muriro. 24 Ntibigeze bagira ubwoba kandi yaba umwami n’abagaragu be bose bumvaga ayo magambo yose, ntibigeze baca imyenda bari bambaye. 25 Nubwo Elunatani,+ Delaya+ na Gemariya+ binginze umwami ngo areke gutwika uwo muzingo, ntiyigeze abumva. 26 Nanone umwami yategetse Yerameli umuhungu w’umwami, Seraya umuhungu wa Aziriyeli na Shelemiya umuhungu wa Abudeli, ngo bafate umwanditsi Baruki n’umuhanuzi Yeremiya, ariko Yehova akomeza kubahisha.+

27 Nyuma y’aho umwami atwikiye umuzingo warimo amagambo Baruki yanditse abibwiwe na Yeremiya, Yehova yongeye kubwira Yeremiya+ ati: 28 “Fata undi muzingo wandikemo amagambo yose yari mu muzingo wa mbere, uwo Yehoyakimu umwami w’u Buyuda yatwitse.+ 29 Kandi uzavuge ibihereranye na Yehoyakimu umwami w’u Buyuda uti: ‘Yehova aravuga ati: “watwitse uwo muzingo, uravuga uti: ‘kuki wanditsemo ngo: “umwami w’i Babuloni azaza arimbure iki gihugu kandi azatuma gishiramo abantu n’amatungo”?’+ 30 Ni yo mpamvu Yehova yavuze ibizaba kuri Yehoyakimu umwami w’u Buyuda ati: ‘mu bamukomokaho nta n’umwe uzicara ku ntebe y’ubwami ya Dawidi.+ Umurambo we uzajugunywa hanze wicwe n’icyokere ku manywa kandi wicwe n’imbeho nijoro.+ 31 We n’abamukomokaho n’abagaragu be, nzabahanira icyaha cyabo kandi bo n’abaturage b’i Yerusalemu n’abantu b’i Buyuda nzabateza ibyago byose navuze ko nzabateza,+ ariko bakanga kumva.’”’”+

32 Nuko Yeremiya afata undi muzingo awuha umwanditsi+ Baruki umuhungu wa Neriya, awandikamo amagambo yose Yeremiya amubwiye, yari mu gitabo* Yehoyakimu umwami w’u Buyuda yatwitse.+ Yongeyemo n’andi magambo menshi ameze nka yo.

37 Nuko Umwami Sedekiya+ umuhungu wa Yosiya, aba umwami asimbuye Koniya*+ umuhungu wa Yehoyakimu. Nebukadinezari* umwami w’i Babuloni ni we wamugize umwami w’u Buyuda.+ 2 Ariko we n’abagaragu be n’abaturage, ntibumviye ibyo Yehova yababwiye akoresheje umuhanuzi Yeremiya.

3 Nuko Umwami Sedekiya atuma Yehukali+ umuhungu wa Shelemiya na Zefaniya+ umuhungu wa Maseya wari umutambyi, ngo bagende babwire umuhanuzi Yeremiya bati: “Turakwinginze, senga udusabira kuri Yehova Imana yacu.” 4 Muri icyo gihe, Yeremiya yajyaga aho ashatse mu baturage kuko yari atarafungwa.+ 5 Icyo gihe ingabo za Farawo zari zaraje zivuye muri Egiputa.+ Abakaludaya bari bagose Yerusalemu bumvise iyo nkuru basubira inyuma, bareka Yerusalemu.+ 6 Nuko Yehova abwira umuhanuzi Yeremiya ati: 7 “Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli aravuga ati: ‘muzabwire umwami w’u Buyuda wabatumye kumbaza, muti: “dore ingabo za Farawo zije kubatabara zizasubira mu gihugu cyazo cya Egiputa.+ 8 Kandi Abakaludaya bazagaruka barwanye uyu mujyi bawufate maze bawutwike.”+ 9 Yehova aravuga ati: “Ntimwishuke* muvuga muti: ‘Abakaludaya bazagenda batureke,’ kuko ntaho bazajya. 10 Nubwo mwakwica ingabo zose z’Abakaludaya zibarwanya maze hagasigara gusa abakomeretse cyane, bahaguruka bakava mu mahema yabo, bagatwika uyu mujyi.”’”+

11 Ingabo z’Abakaludaya zimaze gusubira inyuma zikava i Yerusalemu bitewe n’ingabo za Farawo,+ 12 Yeremiya yasohotse muri Yerusalemu kugira ngo ajye mu gihugu cya Benyamini,+ ngo ahabwe umugabane muri bene wabo. 13 Nuko ageze mu Irembo rya Benyamini, ahasanga uwari uhagarariye abarinzi witwaga Iriya umuhungu wa Shelemiya, umuhungu wa Hananiya. Ahita afata umuhanuzi Yeremiya, aramubwira ati: “Uhungiye mu Bakaludaya!” 14 Ariko Yeremiya aramusubiza ati: “Urambeshyera, simpungiye mu Bakaludaya!” Nuko Iriya yanga kumva Yeremiya, ahubwo aramufata amushyira abatware. 15 Abo batware barakarira Yeremiya,+ baramukubita maze bamufungira+ mu nzu y’umunyamabanga Yehonatani, kuko yari yarahindutse gereza. 16 Yeremiya bamufungiye muri kasho,* muri kimwe mu byumba bifite ibisenge bikomeye, ahamara iminsi myinshi.

17 Umunsi umwe, Umwami Sedekiya amutumaho abantu baramuzana, amubariza mu nzu* ye bari ahantu hiherereye,+ ati: “Ese hari ikintu Yehova yakubwiye”? Yeremiya aramusubiza ati: “Kirahari!” Akomeza avuga ati: “Uzafatwa n’umwami w’i Babuloni!”+

18 Nanone Yeremiya abwira Umwami Sedekiya ati: “Ni ikihe cyaha nagukoreye wowe n’abagaragu bawe n’aba bantu cyatuma mumfunga? 19 Ubu se ba bahanuzi banyu babahanuriraga bababwira bati: ‘umwami w’i Babuloni ntazabatera cyangwa ngo atere iki gihugu,’ bari he?+ 20 None ndakwinginze, mwami databuja, ntega amatwi. Ndakwinginze, reka ngire icyo nkwisabira. Ntunsubize mu nzu y’umunyamabanga Yehonatani+ ntazahapfira.”+ 21 Nuko Umwami Sedekiya atanga itegeko maze bafungira Yeremiya mu Rugo rw’Abarinzi,+ buri munsi bakamuha umugati wavaga ku muhanda w’abatetsi b’imigati,+ kugeza igihe imigati yose yashiriye mu mujyi.+ Yeremiya yakomeje kuba mu Rugo rw’Abarinzi.

38 Nuko Shefatiya umuhungu wa Matani, Gedaliya umuhungu wa Pashuri, Yukali+ umuhungu wa Shelemiya na Pashuri+ umuhungu wa Malikiya, bumva amagambo Yeremiya yabwiraga abantu bose, agira ati: 2 “Yehova aravuga ati: ‘uzaguma muri uyu mujyi azicwa n’intambara,* inzara n’icyorezo.*+ Ariko uzasohoka akishyira Abakaludaya ni we uzakomeza kubaho* kandi azakiza ubuzima bwe ntazapfa.’+ 3 Yehova aravuga ati: ‘uyu mujyi uzahabwa ingabo z’umwami w’i Babuloni kandi azawufata rwose.’”+

4 Nuko abatware babwira umwami bati: “Turagusaba ko uyu muntu yicwa,+ kuko iyo abwira abantu ayo magambo atuma ingabo zisigaye muri uyu mujyi n’abaturage bose bacika intege.* Uyu muntu ntiyifuriza aba bantu amahoro, ahubwo yifuza ko bagerwaho n’ibyago.” 5 Umwami Sedekiya arababwira ati: “Mumukorere icyo mushaka, kuko nta kintu na kimwe umwami yababuza gukora.”

6 Nuko bafata Yeremiya bamujugunya mu rwobo rw’amazi rwa Malikiya umuhungu w’umwami, rwari mu Rugo rw’Abarinzi.+ Bamanuriyemo Yeremiya bakoresheje imigozi. Muri urwo rwobo nta mazi yarimo, ahubwo harimo ibyondo gusa maze Yeremiya atangira gutebera muri ibyo byondo.

7 Hanyuma Ebedi-meleki,+ Umunyetiyopiya w’inkone* wabaga mu nzu* y’umwami, yumva ko bajugunye Yeremiya mu rwobo rw’amazi. Icyo gihe umwami yari yicaye mu Irembo rya Benyamini,+ 8 maze Ebedi-meleki asohoka mu nzu* y’umwami aragenda abwira umwami ati: 9 “Mwami databuja, aba bantu bagiriye nabi umuhanuzi Yeremiya. Bamujugunye mu rwobo rw’amazi kandi azicirwamo n’inzara kuko nta mugati usigaye mu mujyi.”+

10 Nuko umwami ategeka Ebedi-meleki w’Umunyetiyopiya, ati: “Fata abantu 30 mugende mukure umuhanuzi Yeremiya muri urwo rwobo rw’amazi atarapfa.” 11 Ebedi-meleki afata abo bantu bajya mu nzu* y’umwami, mu cyumba cyari munsi y’aho babikaga ibintu.+ Bafata ibitambaro bishaje n’imyenda ishaje babimanuza imigozi, babihereza Yeremiya mu rwobo rw’amazi. 12 Nuko Ebedi-meleki w’Umunyetiyopiya abwira Yeremiya ati: “Shyira ibyo bitambaro n’iyo myenda mu kwaha, ubone gushyiraho imigozi.” Yeremiya abigenza atyo. 13 Hanyuma bazamura Yeremiya bakoresheje imigozi, bamuvana muri rwa rwobo. Yeremiya akomeza kuba mu Rugo rw’Abarinzi.+

14 Umwami Sedekiya atuma abantu ngo bamuzanire umuhanuzi Yeremiya mu muryango wa gatatu wo mu nzu ya Yehova, hanyuma umwami abwira Yeremiya ati: “Hari ikintu nshaka kukubaza. Ntugire icyo umpisha.” 15 Yeremiya asubiza Sedekiya ati: “Nzi neza ko mbikubwiye wanyica. N’ikindi kandi, ninkugira inama nturi bunyumve.” 16 Nuko Umwami Sedekiya arahirira Yeremiya bari ahantu hiherereye ati: “Ndahiriye imbere ya Yehova we waduhaye ubu buzima* ko ntari bukwice kandi ko ntari buguhe abantu bashaka kukwica.”*

17 Yeremiya abwira Sedekiya ati: “Yehova Imana nyiri ingabo, Imana ya Isirayeli aravuga ati: ‘nusohoka ukishyira abatware b’umwami w’i Babuloni, uzakomeza kubaho* kandi uyu mujyi ntuzatwikwa; wowe n’abo mu rugo rwawe muzarokoka.+ 18 Ariko nudasohoka ngo wishyire abatware b’i Babuloni, Abakaludaya bazafata uyu mujyi, bawutwike+ kandi nawe ntuzabacika.’”+

19 Nuko Umwami Sedekiya abwira Yeremiya ati: “Ndatinya Abayahudi bahungiye mu Bakaludaya kuko ngeze mu maboko yabo bangirira nabi.” 20 Ariko Yeremiya aramusubiza ati: “Ntibazagufata! Ndakwinginze umvira ijwi rya Yehova wumve ibyo nkubwira, ni bwo uzamererwa neza kandi ukomeze kubaho.* 21 Ariko niwanga kwemera ko utsinzwe, uzagerwaho n’ibyo Yehova yambwiye. 22 Dore abagore bose basigaye mu nzu* y’umwami w’u Buyuda bashyiriwe abatware b’umwami w’i Babuloni+ kandi baravuga bati:

‘Abantu mwari mubanye amahoro baragushutse maze baragutsinda.+

23 Abagore bawe bose n’abana bawe bashyiriwe Abakaludaya kandi nawe ntuzabacika ahubwo uzafatwa n’umwami w’i Babuloni,+ utume uyu mujyi utwikwa.”+

24 Nuko Sedekiya abwira Yeremiya ati: “Uramenye ntihagire umenya ibyo twavuganye utazapfa. 25 Abatware nibumva ko navuganye nawe bakaza bakakubaza bati: ‘tubwire, ni iki wabwiye umwami? Ntugire icyo uduhisha natwe ntituzakwica.+ Kandi se umwami yakubwiye iki?’ 26 Uzabasubize uti: ‘nisabiraga umwami kutansubiza mu nzu ya Yehonatani kugira ngo ntazahapfira.’”+

27 Hanyuma abatware bose basanga Yeremiya baramubaza, nawe abasubiza akurikije ibyo umwami yamutegetse byose. Nuko ntibagira ikindi bamubaza, kuko nta wari wumvise ibyo bavuganye. 28 Yeremiya yakomeje kuba mu Rugo rw’Abarinzi+ kugeza igihe Yerusalemu yafatiwe kandi igihe Yerusalemu yafatwaga, ni ho yari akiri.+

39 Mu mwaka wa cyenda w’ubutegetsi bwa Sedekiya umwami w’u Buyuda, mu kwezi kwa 10, Nebukadinezari* umwami w’i Babuloni n’ingabo ze zose baje i Yerusalemu barahagota.+

2 Mu mwaka wa 11 w’ubutegetsi bwa Sedekiya, mu kwezi kwa kane ku itariki yako ya cyenda, bashenye urukuta rw’umujyi.+ 3 Abatware bose b’umwami w’i Babuloni, barinjira bicara mu Irembo ryo Hagati.+ Abo batware ni Nerugali-Sharezeri-Samugari, Nebo-Sarusekimu-Rabusarisi,* Nerugali-Sharezeri-Rabumagu* n’abandi batware b’umwami w’i Babuloni bose.

4 Sedekiya umwami w’u Buyuda n’ingabo ze zose bababonye barahunga,+ basohoka mu mujyi nijoro baciye mu nzira inyura mu busitani bw’umwami, basohokera mu irembo ryo hagati y’inkuta ebyiri, bakomereza mu nzira ya Araba.+ 5 Ariko ingabo z’Abakaludaya zirabakurikira, zifatira Sedekiya mu bibaya byo mu butayu bw’i Yeriko.+ Zaramufashe zimushyira Nebukadinezari* umwami w’i Babuloni i Ribula+ mu gihugu cy’i Hamati,+ ari na ho yamuciriye urubanza. 6 Umwami w’i Babuloni yicira abahungu ba Sedekiya imbere ye i Ribula, yica n’abanyacyubahiro bose b’i Buyuda.+ 7 Amena Sedekiya amaso arangije amubohesha iminyururu y’umuringa kugira ngo amujyane i Babuloni.+

8 Nuko Abakaludaya batwika inzu* y’umwami n’amazu y’abaturage+ kandi basenya inkuta za Yerusalemu.+ 9 Nebuzaradani+ wayoboraga abarindaga umwami, yafashe abaturage bari barasigaye mu mujyi n’abari baragiye ku ruhande rwe n’abandi bose bari basigaye, abajyana i Babuloni ku ngufu.

10 Ariko Nebuzaradani umutware w’abarindaga umwami yarekeye mu gihugu cy’u Buyuda bamwe mu baturage bari bakennye cyane, batari bafite ikintu na kimwe batunze. Kuri uwo munsi yanabahaye imizabibu n’imirima yo guhingamo.*+

11 Nuko Nebukadinezari* umwami w’i Babuloni ategeka Nebuzaradani wayoboraga abamurinda ibyo yari gukorera Yeremiya, aramubwira ati: 12 “Mufate umujyane, umwiteho. Ntumugirire nabi kandi icyo agusaba cyose ukimuhe.”+

13 Nuko Nebuzaradani wayoboraga abarinda umwami, Nebushazibani-Rabusarisi,* Nerugali-Sharezeri-Rabumagu* n’abandi bantu bakomeye bakoreraga umwami w’i Babuloni batuma abantu, 14 ngo bakure Yeremiya mu Rugo rw’Abarinzi+ bamushyire Gedaliya+ umuhungu wa Ahikamu,+ umuhungu wa Shafani,+ kugira ngo amujyane iwe. Nuko Yeremiya atura mu bandi baturage.

15 Igihe Yeremiya yari afungiwe mu Rugo rw’Abarinzi,+ Yehova yaramubwiye ati: 16 “Genda ubwire Ebedi-meleki+ w’Umunyetiyopiya uti: ‘Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli aravuga ati: “dore ngiye gukora ibyo navuze ko nzakorera uyu mujyi kandi nzawuteza ibyago aho kuwugirira neza. Kuri uwo munsi bizaba ubyirebera.”’

17 “‘Ariko uwo munsi nzakurokora kandi ntuzahabwa abo utinya,’ ni ko Yehova avuga.

18 “Yehova aravuga ati: ‘Nzagukiza rwose,* ntuzicishwa inkota. Uzakomeza kubaho+ kuko wanyiringiye.’”+

40 Igihe Nebuzaradani+ umutware w’abarindaga umwami yari amaze kurekura Yeremiya ari i Rama,+ Yehova yavugishije Yeremiya. Nebuzaradani yari yaramujyanyeyo afungishijwe amapingu kandi yari kumwe n’abandi bantu bose b’i Yerusalemu n’i Buyuda bari bagiye kujyanwa i Babuloni ku ngufu. 2 Nuko umutware w’abarindaga umwami afata Yeremiya aramubwira ati: “Yehova Imana yawe ni we wavuze ko ibi byago byari kuzaba aha hantu, 3 kandi Yehova yabikoze nk’uko yari yarabivuze, kubera ko mwacumuye kuri Yehova mukanga kumvira ibyo yababwiye. Iyo ni yo mpamvu ibi byose byababayeho.+ 4 None rero, dore uyu munsi mvanye amapingu ku maboko yawe. Niba wumva twajyana i Babuloni, uze tujyane kandi nzakwitaho. Ariko niba udashaka ko tujyana i Babuloni, ubyihorere. Dore igihugu cyose kiri imbere yawe. Uhitemo kujya aho ushaka.”+

5 Igihe Yeremiya yari akiri aho, Nebuzaradani aramubwira ati: “Genda usange Gedaliya+ umuhungu wa Ahikamu+ umuhungu wa Shafani,+ uwo umwami w’i Babuloni yahaye gutegeka imijyi y’i Buyuda maze uturane na we mu bandi baturage; cyangwa se ujye ahandi wumva ushaka.”

Nuko umutware w’abarindaga umwami amuha ibyokurya byo kujyana, amuha n’impano maze aramureka aragenda. 6 Yeremiya asanga Gedaliya umuhungu wa Ahikamu i Misipa,+ aturana na we mu bandi baturage bari barasigaye mu gihugu.

7 Nyuma yaho, abakuru b’ingabo bose bari hirya no hino mu gihugu hamwe n’ingabo zabo, bumva ko umwami w’i Babuloni yahaye Gedaliya umuhungu wa Ahikamu gutegeka igihugu, ngo ategeke abakene bo muri icyo gihugu batari barajyanywe i Babuloni ku ngufu, ni ukuvuga abagabo, abagore n’abana.+ 8 Nuko basanga Gedaliya i Misipa.+ Abo ni Ishimayeli+ umuhungu wa Netaniya, Yohanani+ na Yonatani abahungu ba Kareya, Seraya umuhungu wa Tanihumeti, abahungu ba Efayi w’i Netofa na Yezaniya+ wo mu Bamakati, bari kumwe n’ingabo zabo. 9 Gedaliya umuhungu wa Ahikamu, umuhungu wa Shafani arabarahira bo n’ingabo zabo ati: “Ntimutinye gukorera Abakaludaya. Mukomeze muture mu gihugu mukorere umwami w’i Babuloni, ni bwo muzamererwa neza.+ 10 Nanjye nzaguma i Misipa kugira ngo mbahagararire ku Bakaludaya* bazaza badusanga. Ariko mwe mugende mwenge divayi, musarure n’imbuto zera mu gihe cy’izuba, mukamure n’amavuta, mubishyire mu bintu byo kubikamo maze muture mu mijyi mwafashe.”+

11 Nuko Abayahudi bose bari i Mowabu, mu Bamoni, muri Edomu n’abari mu bindi bihugu byose, na bo bumva ko hari abantu umwami w’i Babuloni yasize i Buyuda, akabaha Gedaliya umuhungu wa Ahikamu, umuhungu wa Shafani ngo abategeke. 12 Hanyuma Abayahudi bose batangira kugaruka bava mu turere twose bari baratatanyirijwemo, baza mu gihugu cy’u Buyuda basanga Gedaliya i Misipa. Benga divayi nyinshi basarura n’imbuto zera mu gihe cy’izuba nyinshi cyane.

13 Ariko Yohanani umuhungu wa Kareya n’abakuru b’ingabo bose bari hirya no hino mu gihugu, bajya kureba Gedaliya i Misipa, 14 baramubwira bati: “Ese ntuzi ko Bayalisi umwami w’Abamoni+ yohereje Ishimayeli umuhungu wa Netaniya ngo akwice?”*+ Ariko Gedaliya umuhungu wa Ahikamu yanga kwemera ibyo bamubwiye.

15 Yohanani umuhungu wa Kareya, abwira Gedaliya bari ahantu hiherereye i Misipa, ati: “Ndashaka kugenda nkica Ishimayeli umuhungu wa Netaniya kandi nta wuzabimenya. None se kuki yakwica* maze Abayuda bose baje bagusanga bagatatana n’abasigaye mu Buyuda bose bagashira?” 16 Ariko Gedaliya+ umuhungu wa Ahikamu abwira Yohanani umuhungu wa Kareya ati: “Oya ntukore ibyo bintu, kuko ibyo uvuga kuri Ishimayeli ari ibinyoma.”

41 Nuko mu kwezi kwa karindwi, Ishimayeli+ umuhungu wa Netaniya, umuhungu wa Elishama wakomokaga mu muryango w’abami,* akaba yari umwe mu bantu bakomeye bakoreraga umwami, azana n’abandi bagabo 10 basanga Gedaliya umuhungu wa Ahikamu i Misipa.+ Igihe bari bicaye basangira ibyokurya i Misipa, 2 Ishimayeli umuhungu wa Netaniya na ba bagabo 10 bari kumwe na we, barahaguruka bicisha inkota Gedaliya umuhungu wa Ahikamu, umuhungu wa Shafani. Uko ni ko yishe uwo umwami w’i Babuloni yari yarashyizeho ngo ategeke igihugu. 3 Nanone Ishimayeli yishe Abayahudi bose bari kumwe na Gedaliya i Misipa n’abasirikare b’Abakaludaya bari aho.

4 Ku munsi wa kabiri nyuma y’uko Gedaliya yicwa, mbere y’uko hagira undi muntu ubimenya, 5 haje abantu 80 baturutse i Shekemu,+ i Shilo+ n’i Samariya.+ Bari bogoshe ubwanwa, baciye imyenda yabo+ kandi bikebaguye, baza bitwaje ituro ry’ibinyampeke n’ububani,*+ babizanye mu nzu ya Yehova. 6 Nuko Ishimayeli umuhungu wa Netaniya ava i Misipa ajya guhura na bo, agenda arira inzira yose. Ahuye na bo arababwira ati: “Nimuze musange Gedaliya umuhungu wa Ahikamu.” 7 Ariko bageze mu mujyi, Ishimayeli umuhungu wa Netaniya arabica abajugunya mu rwobo rw’amazi, afatanyije n’abantu bari kumwe na we.

8 Ariko hari abagabo 10 muri bo bahise babwira Ishimayeli bati: “Ntutwice kuko twahishe mu gasozi ingano zisanzwe, ingano za sayiri, amavuta n’ubuki.” Nuko arabareka ntiyabicana n’abavandimwe babo. 9 Ishimayeli yajugunye imirambo yose y’abo bantu yishe mu rwobo runini cyane rwari rwaracukuwe n’Umwami Asa, igihe yarwanaga na Basha umwami wa Isirayeli.+ Ni rwo Ishimayeli umuhungu wa Netaniya yujujemo abo yishe.

10 Ishimayeli afata abasigaye bose bari i Misipa+ abajyana ku ngufu, harimo abakobwa b’umwami n’abandi bantu bose bari barasigaye i Misipa, abo Nebuzaradani wayoboraga abarinda umwami yashinze Gedaliya+ umuhungu wa Ahikamu. Ishimayeli umuhungu wa Netaniya abajyana ku ngufu, aragenda kugira ngo yambuke ajye mu Bamoni.+

11 Igihe Yohanani+ umuhungu wa Kareya n’abayobozi b’ingabo bose bari kumwe na we bumvaga ibibi byose Ishimayeli umuhungu wa Netaniya yari yarakoze, 12 bafashe abasirikare babo bose bajya kurwana na Ishimayeli umuhungu wa Netaniya, bamusanga ku mazi menshi* y’i Gibeyoni.

13 Abantu bose bari kumwe na Ishimayeli babonye Yohanani umuhungu wa Kareya n’abayobozi b’ingabo bose bari kumwe na we, barishima. 14 Nuko abantu bose Ishimayeli yari yarajyanye ku ngufu abavanye i Misipa+ barahindukira, basanga Yohanani umuhungu wa Kareya. 15 Ariko Ishimayeli umuhungu wa Netaniya we, acika Yohanani ahungana n’abandi bagabo umunani ajya mu Bamoni.

16 Yohanani umuhungu wa Kareya n’abayobozi b’ingabo bose bari kumwe na we bagarura abasigaye bose, babambuye Ishimayeli umuhungu wa Netaniya wari warabavanye i Misipa, amaze kwica Gedaliya+ umuhungu wa Ahikamu. Bagaruye abagabo, abasirikare, abagore, abana n’abakozi b’ibwami, babavanye i Gibeyoni. 17 Nuko baragenda barara mu icumbi ry’i Kimuhamu hafi y’i Betelehemu,+ kugira ngo bazakomeze bajya muri Egiputa,+ 18 kuko batinyaga Abakaludaya. Impamvu babatinyaga ni uko Ishimayeli umuhungu wa Netaniya, yari yarishe Gedaliya umuhungu wa Ahikamu, uwo umwami w’i Babuloni yari yarashyizeho ngo ategeke igihugu.+

42 Hanyuma abayobozi b’ingabo bose na Yohanani+ umuhungu wa Kareya, Yezaniya umuhungu wa Hoshaya n’abantu bose, uhereye ku muntu usanzwe ukageza ku muntu ukomeye, baraza 2 babwira umuhanuzi Yeremiya bati: “Turakwinginze, umva icyo dushaka kukwisabira: Usenge udusabira kuri Yehova Imana yawe, usabire aba bantu basigaye bose, kuko twasigaye turi bake kandi twarahoze turi benshi cyane,+ nk’uko nawe ubibona. 3 Yehova Imana yawe atubwire inzira dukwiriye kunyuramo n’icyo dukwiriye gukora.”

4 Nuko umuhanuzi Yeremiya arabasubiza ati: “Ndabumvise kandi ngiye gusenga Yehova Imana yanyu nk’uko mwabinsabye. Ijambo ryose Yehova ari bubasubize ndaribabwira nta cyo mbahishe.”

5 Na bo babwira Yeremiya bati: “Yehova abe umuhamya w’ukuri kandi wizerwa wo kudushinja, nitudakora ibyo Yehova Imana yawe adusabye byose agukoresheje. 6 Igisubizo cyaba cyiza cyangwa kibi, tuzumvira Yehova Imana yacu tugutumyeho ngo ujye kutubariza, kugira ngo tumererwe neza, bitewe n’uko tuzaba twumviye ijwi rya Yehova Imana yacu.”

7 Hashize iminsi 10, Yehova avugisha Yeremiya. 8 Nuko ahamagaza Yohanani umuhungu wa Kareya n’abayobozi b’ingabo bose bari kumwe na we n’abantu bose, uhereye ku muntu usanzwe ukageza ku muntu ukomeye.+ 9 Arababwira ati: “Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli, uwo mwantumyeho kugira ngo mugezeho ibyo mwamusabye, aravuga ati: 10 ‘nimukomeza gutura muri iki gihugu, nzabubaka aho kubasenya, nzabatera aho kubarandura, kuko nzicuza* kuba narabateje ibyago.+ 11 Ntimugire ubwoba bitewe n’umwami w’i Babuloni mutinya.’+

“Yehova aravuga ati: ‘ntabatere ubwoba kuko ndi kumwe namwe kugira ngo mbarokore kandi mbakize. 12 Nzabagirira imbabazi+ kandi na we azabagirira imbabazi abagarure mu gihugu cyanyu.’”

13 “‘Ariko nimuvuga muti: “oya; ntituzaguma muri iki gihugu,” maze mukanga kumvira ibyo Yehova Imana yanyu ababwira, 14 mukavuga muti: “oya; ahubwo tuzajya mu gihugu cya Egiputa+ aho tutazongera kubona intambara, ntitwumve ijwi ry’ihembe cyangwa ngo dusonze twabuze umugati; aho ni ho tuzaba.” 15 Nimwumve ibyo Yehova avuga, mwebwe abasigaye i Buyuda. Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli aravuga ati: “niba mwiyemeje kujya muri Egiputa, akaba ari ho mujya gutura,* 16 intambara* mutinya izabasanga mu gihugu cya Egiputa, inzara ibatera ubwoba ibakurikirane muri Egiputa kandi ni ho muzapfira.+ 17 Abantu bose biyemeje kujya gutura muri Egiputa, bazicwa n’intambara,* inzara n’icyorezo,* nta n’umwe muri bo uzarokoka cyangwa ngo acike ibyago nzabateza.”’

18 “Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli aravuga ati: ‘nk’uko nasutse uburakari bwanjye n’umujinya wanjye ku baturage b’i Yerusalemu,+ ni ko nzabasukaho uburakari bwanjye nimujya muri Egiputa. Muzahinduka umuvumo,* ikintu giteye ubwoba, babasuzugure,* babatuke+ kandi ntimuzongera kubona iki gihugu.’

19 “Mwa basigaye bo mu Buyuda mwe, Yehova yababujije kujya muri Egiputa. Mumenye ko mbaburiye uyu munsi, 20 kuko ikosa ryanyu rizatuma mupfa. Mwansabye gusenga Yehova Imana yanyu mbasabira. Mwarambwiye muti: ‘senga udusabira kuri Yehova Imana yacu kandi ibyo Yehova Imana yacu azakubwira byose uzabitubwire maze natwe tubikore.’+ 21 Uyu munsi ndabibabwiye, ariko ntimuzumvira ijwi rya Yehova Imana yanyu, cyangwa ngo mukore ibyo yantumye ngo mbabwire.+ 22 Ubwo rero mumenye ko icyo gihugu mwifuza kujya kubamo ari cyo muzapfiramo mwishwe n’intambara* inzara n’icyorezo.”+

43 Yeremiya akirangiza kubwira abantu bose ayo magambo ya Yehova, ni ukuvuga amagambo yose Yehova Imana yabo yari yamutumye kubabwira, 2 Azariya umuhungu wa Hoshaya, Yohanani+ umuhungu wa Kareya n’abagabo b’abibone bose, babwira Yeremiya bati: “Urabeshya. Yehova Imana yacu ntiyagutumye ngo uvuge uti: ‘ntimujye gutura muri Egiputa.’ 3 Ahubwo Baruki+ umuhungu wa Neriya ni we ukoshya, kugira ngo dufatwe n’Abakaludaya batwice cyangwa batujyane i Babuloni ku ngufu.”+

4 Nuko Yohanani umuhungu wa Kareya n’abayobozi b’ingabo bose n’abandi bantu bose banga kumvira ibyo Yehova avuga, ngo bagume mu gihugu cy’u Buyuda. 5 Ahubwo Yohanani umuhungu wa Kareya n’abayobozi b’ingabo bose, bajyana abantu bose b’i Buyuda bari basigaye, ni ukuvuga abari baragarutse gutura mu gihugu cy’u Buyuda, bavuye mu bihugu byose bari baratatanyirijwemo.+ 6 Bafashe abagabo, abagore, abana, abakobwa b’umwami n’abantu bose Nebuzaradani+ wayoboraga abarinda umwami yari yararetse ngo basigarane na Gedaliya+ umuhungu wa Ahikamu,+ umuhungu wa Shafani+ barabajyana, bajyana n’umuhanuzi Yeremiya na Baruki umuhungu wa Neriya. 7 Bajya mu gihugu cya Egiputa kuko batumviye ibyo Yehova yavuze, baragenda bagera i Tahapanesi.+

8 Hanyuma Yehova avugisha Yeremiya ari i Tahapanesi aramubwira ati: 9 “Fata amabuye manini uyahishe mu mbuga ishashemo amatafari iri mu irembo ry’inzu ya Farawo i Tahapanesi maze uyatwikirize ibumba Abayahudi bakureba. 10 Ubabwire uti: ‘Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli aravuga ati: “ngiye gutumaho Nebukadinezari* umwami w’i Babuloni umugaragu wanjye.+ Nzashyira intebe ye y’ubwami hejuru y’aya mabuye nahishe kandi azubaka ihema rye ry’abami.+ 11 Azaza akubite igihugu cya Egiputa.+ Uzaba akwiriye kwicwa n’icyorezo cy’indwara gikomeye, azicwa n’icyo cyorezo, uzaba akwiriye kujyanwa mu kindi gihugu ku ngufu, azajyanwa ku ngufu kandi uzaba akwiriye kwicwa n’inkota, azicwa n’inkota.+ 12 Nzatwika amazu y’imana zo muri Egiputa+ kandi Nebukadinezari azatwika ayo mazu* maze imana zaho azijyane ku ngufu. Azifubika iki gihugu cya Egiputa nk’uko umwungeri* yifubika umwenda kandi azavayo amahoro.* 13 Azamenagura inkingi z’i Beti-shemeshi* mu gihugu cya Egiputa, atwike n’amazu* y’imana zo muri Egiputa.”’”

44 Imana yasabye Yeremiya kubwira Abayahudi bose babaga mu gihugu cya Egiputa,+ ni ukuvuga ababaga i Migidoli,+ i Tahapanesi,+ i Nofu*+ no mu gihugu cy’i Patirosi,+ ati: 2 “Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli, aravuga ati: ‘mwiboneye ibyago byose nateje Yerusalemu+ n’imijyi y’u Buyuda yose, none ubu habaye amatongo kandi nta muntu ukihatuye.+ 3 Byatewe n’ibikorwa bibi bakoze kugira ngo bandakaze,+ bagatambira ibitambo izindi mana batigeze kumenya, ari bo cyangwa mwe cyangwa ba sogokuruza banyu, bakazikorera.+ 4 Nakomeje kubatumaho abagaragu banjye bose b’abahanuzi, nkabikora kenshi* mvuga nti: “ndabinginze ntimugakore icyo kintu kibi cyane nanga!”+ 5 Ariko ntibigeze bumva, cyangwa ngo batege amatwi bareke ibibi bakoraga kandi ngo bareke gutambira ibitambo izindi mana.+ 6 Ni cyo cyatumye nsuka uburakari bwanjye n’umujinya wanjye, bigatwika imijyi y’u Buyuda n’imihanda y’i Yerusalemu, hagahinduka amatongo kandi hagasigara nta muntu uhatuye, nk’uko bimeze uyu munsi.’+

7 “None Yehova Imana nyiri ingabo, Imana ya Isirayeli aravuga ati: ‘kuki mwiteza ibyago* bikomeye, mukazatuma umugabo, umugore, umwana n’uruhinja bashira mu Buyuda, ku buryo hatagira n’umwe usigara? 8 Kuki mukora ibintu bindakaza, mugatambira ibitambo imana z’aho mwagiye gutura muri Egiputa? Muzarimbuka, muhinduke umuvumo* kandi ibihugu byose byo ku isi bijye bibatuka.+ 9 Ese mwibagiwe ibikorwa bibi bya ba sogokuruza banyu n’ibikorwa bibi by’abami b’u Buyuda+ n’ibikorwa bibi by’abagore babo,+ ibikorwa bibi byanyu n’iby’abagore banyu,+ byakorewe mu gihugu cy’u Buyuda no mu mihanda y’i Yerusalemu? 10 Kugeza n’uyu munsi ntibigeze bicisha bugufi* ngo batinye+ kandi ntibubahirije amategeko n’amabwiriza nabashyiriyeho mwe na ba sogokuruza banyu.’+

11 “Ni yo mpamvu Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli avuga ati: ‘dore niyemeje kubateza ibyago no kurimbura u Buyuda bwose. 12 Nzatuma abasigaye b’i Buyuda biyemeje kujya gutura muri Egiputa, bapfira muri Egiputa bagashira.+ Bazicwa n’intambara kandi bashireho bazize inzara, uhereye ku muntu usanzwe kugeza ku muntu ukomeye, bose bazicwa n’intambara* n’inzara. Bazahinduka umuvumo n’ikintu giteye ubwoba, abantu babasuzugure* kandi babatuke.+ 13 Nzahana abatuye mu gihugu cya Egiputa nk’uko nahannye Yerusalemu, mbahanishije intambara,* inzara n’icyorezo.*+ 14 Naho abasigaye b’i Buyuda bagiye gutura mu gihugu cya Egiputa, ntibazarokoka cyangwa ngo bacike ku icumu maze bagaruke mu gihugu cy’u Buyuda. Bazifuza kugarukayo no kuhatura ariko ntibazahagaruka, uretse bake gusa bazarokoka.’”

15 Nuko abagabo bose bari bazi ko abagore babo batambira ibitambo izindi mana n’abagore bose bari bahagaze aho ari benshi, n’abantu bose bari batuye mu gihugu cya Egiputa+ i Patirosi,+ basubiza Yeremiya bati: 16 “Ibyo wavuze mu izina rya Yehova, nta byo tuzakora. 17 Ahubwo twiyemeje gukora ibyo twavuze, dutambira ibitambo Umwamikazi wo mu Ijuru,* tumusukira ituro ry’ibyokunywa+ nk’uko twe na ba sogokuruza, abami bacu n’abatware bacu twabikoreraga mu mijyi y’u Buyuda no mu mihanda y’i Yerusalemu, igihe twaryaga umugati tugahaga kandi tukamererwa neza, nta byago bitugeraho. 18 Ariko uhereye igihe twarekeye gutambira ibitambo Umwamikazi wo mu Ijuru* no kumusukira ituro ry’ibyokunywa, twabuze byose kandi dushiraho tuzize intambara* n’inzara.”

19 Abagore na bo baravuga bati: “Ese abagabo bacu ntibabaga baduhaye uburenganzira igihe twatambiraga ibitambo ‘Umwamikazi wo mu Ijuru,’* tukamusukira ituro ry’ibyokunywa kandi tugakora utugati two kumutura dufite ishusho ye? Ese twamusukiraga ituro ry’ibyokunywa tutabajije abagabo bacu?”

20 Nuko Yeremiya asubiza abantu bose bavuganaga na we, ni ukuvuga abagabo, abagore n’abaturage bose ati: 21 “Ibitambo mwatambiraga mu mijyi y’u Buyuda no mu mihanda y’i Yerusalemu,+ mwe na ba sogokuruza banyu, abami banyu, abatware banyu n’abaturage bo mu gihugu, Yehova yarabyibutse. Ntiyigeze abyibagirwa. 22 Yehova yananiwe kwihanganira ibikorwa byanyu bibi n’ibintu bibi cyane mwari mwarakoze, igihugu cyanyu gihinduka amatongo, gihinduka ikintu giteye ubwoba, abantu barabavuma* kandi gisigara nta baturage barimo, nk’uko bimeze uyu munsi.+ 23 Icyatumye ibi byago byose bibageraho nk’uko bimeze uyu munsi, ni uko mwatambye ibitambo kandi mugacumura kuri Yehova, mukanga kumvira Yehova, ntimukurikize amategeko ye n’amabwiriza ye n’ibyo abibutsa.”+

24 Yeremiya akomeza kubwira abantu bose n’abagore bose ati: “Mwa Bayuda mwese mwe muri mu gihugu cya Egiputa, nimwumve ibyo Yehova avuga. 25 Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli aravuga ati: ‘mwa bagabo mwe n’abagore banyu, ibyo mwavuze mwabikoresheje amaboko yanyu, kuko mwavuze muti: “tuzakora ibyo twahigiye,* dutambire ibitambo Umwamikazi wo mu Ijuru* kandi tumusukire amaturo y’ibyokunywa.”+ Mwa bagore mwe, muzahigura imihigo mwahize kandi mukore ibyo mwahigiye.’

26 “Ubwo rero, nimwumve ibyo Yehova avuga, mwa Bayuda mwese mwe mutuye mu gihugu cya Egiputa. Yehova aravuga ati: ‘“dore ndahiye izina ryanjye rikomeye ko nta muntu n’umwe wo mu Buyuda+ uri mu gihugu cya Egiputa hose, uzongera kurahira mu izina ryanjye ngo avuge ati: ‘ndahiriye imbere ya Yehova Umwami w’Ikirenga!’+ 27 Ngiye gukomeza kubareba kugira ngo mbateze ibyago, aho kubagirira neza;+ abantu bo mu Buyuda bose bari mu gihugu cya Egiputa bazicwa n’intambara* n’inzara kugeza igihe bose bazashirira.+ 28 Abantu bake cyane gusa ni bo bazarokoka intambara,* bave mu gihugu cya Egiputa basubire mu Buyuda.+ Icyo gihe abasigaye b’i Buyuda bose, bagiye gutura mu gihugu cya Egiputa, bazamenya uwavuze ibintu bikaba, niba ari njye cyangwa niba ari bo.”’”

29 “Yehova aravuga ati: ‘iki ni cyo kimenyetso kizagaragaza ko nzabahanira aha hantu, kugira ngo mumenye ko amagambo navuze ko nzabateza ibyago, ari ukuri. 30 Yehova aravuga ati: “ngiye guteza Farawo Hofura umwami wa Egiputa abanzi be n’abashaka kumwica,* nk’uko nateje Sedekiya umwami w’u Buyuda umwanzi we washakaga kumwica,* ari we Nebukadinezari* umwami w’i Babuloni.”’”+

45 Ibi ni byo umuhanuzi Yeremiya yabwiye Baruki+ umuhungu wa Neriya, igihe yandikaga mu gitabo amagambo Yeremiya+ yamubwiraga, mu mwaka wa kane w’ubutegetsi bwa Yehoyakimu+ umuhungu wa Yosiya umwami w’u Buyuda:

2 “Ibi ni byo Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli yakuvuzeho Baruki we. 3 ‘Waravuze uti: “ndagowe kuko Yehova yongereye agahinda ku mubabaro wanjye! Nanijwe no gutaka kandi nta hantu mfite ho kuruhukira.”’

4 “Uzamubwire uti: ‘Yehova aravuga ati: “dore icyo nubatse ngiye kugisenya kandi icyo nateye ngiye kukirandura, ni ukuvuga igihugu cyose.+ 5 Nyamara wowe ukomeza kwishakira* ibintu bikomeye. Reka gukomeza kubishaka.”’

“Yehova aravuga ati: ‘kuko ngiye guteza ibyago abantu bose+ kandi aho uzajya hose nzakurokora.’”+

46 Ibi ni byo Yehova yabwiye umuhanuzi Yeremiya bizaba ku bihugu:+ 2 Yavuze ibizaba kuri Egiputa,+ avuga ibizaba ku ngabo za Farawo Neko+ umwami wa Egiputa, wari ku Ruzi rwa Ufurate i Karikemishi, uwo Nebukadinezari* umwami w’i Babuloni yatsinze mu mwaka wa kane w’ubutegetsi bwa Yehoyakimu+ umuhungu wa Yosiya umwami w’u Buyuda, ati:

 4 Mwa bagendera ku mafarashi mwe, nimutegure amafarashi maze muyicareho.

Muhagarare mu myanya yanyu kandi mwambare ingofero zanyu.

Mutyaze amacumu kandi mwambare amakoti yanyu y’ibyuma.

 5 Yehova aravuga ati: ‘Kuki mbona abishwe n’ubwoba?

Barimo barasubira inyuma kandi abarwanyi babo bajanjaguwe.

Bahunze bafite ubwoba, abarwanyi babo biruka ubutareba inyuma.

Ahantu hose hari ubwoba.’

 6 ‘Uzi kwiruka cyane ntashobora guhunga kandi abarwanyi ntibashobora gutoroka.

Nzarimbura umujyi n’abawutuyemo.’

 9 Muzamuke mwa mafarashi mwe!

Namwe mwa magare akururwa n’amafarashi mwe, mwiruke nk’abasazi!

10 “Uwo ni umunsi w’Umwami w’Ikirenga Yehova nyiri ingabo, umunsi azihorera ku banzi be. Inkota izarya ihage, ihage amaraso yabo, kuko Umwami w’Ikirenga Yehova nyiri ingabo afite igitambo azatambira mu gihugu cy’amajyaruguru ku Ruzi rwa Ufurate.+

13 Ibi ni byo Yehova yabwiye umuhanuzi Yeremiya ku birebana no kuza kwa Nebukadinezari* umwami w’i Babuloni, aje kurimbura igihugu cya Egiputa, yaravuze ati:+

15 Kuki abagabo bawe b’abanyambaraga bashize?

16 Basitara ari benshi maze bakagwa.

Barabwirana bati:

17 Aho ni ho batangarije bati:

‘Farawo umwami wa Egiputa nta kindi ashoboye uretse gusakuza gusa!

Yitesheje uburyo bwiza* yari abonye.’+

20 Egiputa imeze nk’inyana nziza cyane.

Ariko amasazi aryana cyane azayitera aturutse mu majyaruguru.

Igihe cyo kubabaza ibyo bakoze cyari kigeze.’

23 Yehova aravuga ati: “bazatema ishyamba ryayo, nubwo bisa n’ibigoye kuryinjiramo kubera ibiti byinshi.

Kuko ari benshi cyane kuruta inzige; ntibabarika.

24 Umukobwa wo muri Egiputa azakorwa n’isoni.

Azahabwa abantu bo mu majyaruguru.”’+

25 “Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli aravuga ati: ‘ngiye guhagurukira Amoni+ yo muri No,*+ Farawo, Egiputa, imana zayo,+ abami bayo, ni ukuvuga Farawo n’abamwiringira bose.’+

26 “Yehova aravuga ati: ‘nzabateza abashaka kubica,* ni ukuvuga Nebukadinezari* umwami w’i Babuloni+ n’abagaragu be. Ariko nyuma yaho, Egiputa izongera guturwa nk’uko byahoze mbere.’+

28 Yehova aravuga ati: ‘wowe mugaragu wanjye Yakobo ntutinye, kuko ndi kumwe nawe.

Ibihugu byose nabatatanyirijemo nzabirimbura.+

47 Ibi ni byo Yehova yabwiye umuhanuzi Yeremiya ko bizaba ku Bafilisitiya,+ mbere y’uko Farawo atsinda Gaza. 2 Yehova aravuga ati:

“Dore amazi menshi aje aturutse mu majyaruguru.

Azahinduka umugezi wuzuye.

 5 Gaza izazana uruhara.*

Ashikeloni yaracecekeshejwe.+

 6 Wa nkota ya Yehova we!+

Uzatuza ryari?

Subira mu rwubati* rwawe.

Ruhuka kandi uceceke.

Yagenewe Ashikeloni n’inkombe zo ku nyanja.+

Ni ho yayitumye.”

48 Ibi ni byo Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli avuga kuri Mowabu+ ati:

“Nebo+ igushije ishyano kuko yarimbuwe.

Kiriyatayimu+ yakojejwe isoni, irafatwa.

Ahantu ho guhungira hari umutekano,* hakojejwe isoni kandi harasenywa.+

 2 Ntibagishimagiza Mowabu.

I Heshiboni+ bahacuriye umugambi wo kuyirimbura bavuga bati:

‘Nimuze tuyirimbure ntikomeze kuba igihugu.’

 4 Mowabu yararimbuwe.

Abana bayo barataka cyane.

10 Havumwe* umuntu usohoza ubutumwa bwa Yehova atabyitayeho.

Kandi havumwe umuntu wanga ko inkota ye imena amaraso.

12 “Kubera iyo mpamvu, Yehova aravuga ati: ‘mu minsi izaza, nzohereza abantu babasuke. Bazabasuka babamare mu bibindi barimo kandi ibibindi byabo binini bazabimenagura. 13 Abamowabu bazakorwa n’isoni bitewe na Kemoshi, nk’uko abo mu muryango wa Isirayeli bakozwe n’isoni bitewe na Beteli biringiraga.+

14 Mutinyuka mute kuvuga muti: “turi abarwanyi bakomeye biteguye kurwana”?’+

15 Umwami witwa Yehova nyiri ingabo aravuga ati:+

Mubabwire muti: ‘mbega ngo inkoni ikomeye kandi nziza iravunika!’

19 Wowe utuye muri Aroweri,+ hagarara ku muhanda witegereze.

Baza umugabo n’umugore bahunze uti: ‘byagenze bite?’

20 Mowabu yakojejwe isoni. Yishwe n’ubwoba.

Nimurire cyane kandi mutake.

Nimutangaze muri Arunoni+ ko Mowabu yarimbuwe.

21 “Urubanza rwageze mu gihugu kiringaniye,*+ rugera i Holoni,+ i Yahasi n’i Mefati;+ 22 rwageze i Diboni,+ i Nebo+ n’i Beti-dibulatayimu, 23 i Kiriyatayimu,+ i Beti-gamuli n’i Beti-mewoni,+ 24 i Keriyoti,+ i Bosira no mu mijyi yose yo mu gihugu cya Mowabu, yaba iya kure cyangwa iya hafi.

26 Nimuyisindishe+ kuko yishyize hejuru ikirata kuri Yehova.+

27 Ese ntiwasekaga Isirayeli?+

Mu byo avuga byose nta na kimwe azakora.

Amashami yawe ameze neza yambutse inyanja.

Yageze ku nyanja y’i Yazeri.

Natumye divayi idakomeza gutembera aho bayengera.

Nta muntu uzongera kunyukanyuka imizabibu asakuza bitewe n’ibyishimo.

N’uzasakuza ntazaba abitewe n’ibyishimo.’”+

34 “‘Batakira i Heshiboni,+ ijwi ryo gutaka kwabo rikagera muri Eleyale.+

39 ‘Mbega ukuntu Mowabu ifite ubwoba bwinshi! Nimurire cyane.

Yasubiye inyuma kubera gukorwa n’isoni.

40 “Yehova aravuga ati:

‘Kuko nzatuma umwaka wo guhana Mowabu uyigeraho.’

45 ‘Abantu bahunga bahagaze mu gicucu cya Heshiboni bacitse intege.

46 ‘Ugize ibyago Mowabu we!

Abantu b’i Kemoshi+ barashize.

47 Ariko mu minsi ya nyuma nzahuriza hamwe abajyanywe ari imfungwa b’i Mowabu,’ ni ko Yehova avuga.

‘Aha ni ho urubanza Mowabu yaciriwe rurangiriye.’”+

49 Ibyahanuriwe Abamoni.+ Yehova aravuga ati:

“Ese Isirayeli nta bahungu igira?

Ese ntifite uzahabwa umurage wayo?

Kuki Malikamu+ yafashe Gadi?+

Kuki abantu bayo batuye mu mijyi ya Isirayeli?”

‘Isirayeli izafata akarere k’abayambuye akarere kayo,’+ ni ko Yehova avuga.

 3 ‘Rira cyane Heshiboni we, kuko Ayi yasenywe.

 6 “Yehova aravuga ati: ‘ariko nyuma yaho nzahuriza hamwe imfungwa z’Abamoni.’”

7 Ibyahanuriwe Edomu. Yehova nyiri ingabo aravuga ati:

“Ese i Temani nta bwenge bukihaba?+

Ese abafite ubushishozi ntibagitanga inama nziza?

Ese ubwenge bwabo bwaraboze?

 8 Muhunge!

Musubire inyuma! Mwa baturage b’i Dedani mwe, mumanuke hasi mwihisheyo.+

10 Ariko Esawu nzamumaraho amashami yose.

12 Yehova aravuga ati: “Ese niba abataraciriwe urubanza rwo kunywera ku gikombe bazakinyweraho, utekereza ko wowe utazahanwa? Uko byagenda kose uzahanwa, kuko ugomba kukinyweraho.”+

13 Yehova aravuga ati: “Njye ubwanjye narahiye mu izina ryanjye ko i Bosira hazahinduka ikintu giteye ubwoba,+ igitutsi, amatongo n’umuvumo.* Nanone imijyi yaho yose, izahinduka amatongo kugeza iteka ryose.”+

“Muhurire hamwe mumutere.

Mwitegure mujye kurwana.”+

17 “Edomu izahinduka ikintu giteye ubwoba.+ Umuntu uzayinyuraho wese azayitegereza afite ubwoba kandi avugirize kubera ibyago byose byayigezeho.” 18 Yehova aravuga ati: “Nk’uko byagenze igihe Imana yarimburaga Sodomu na Gomora n’imijyi yari ihakikije,+ nta muntu uzahatura kandi nta muntu uzahaba.+

19 “Dore umuntu azaza nk’intare+ iturutse mu bihuru byo kuri Yorodani, agana mu rwuri* rurimo umutekano, ariko mu kanya gato nzatuma ahunga aruvemo. Uwatoranyijwe ni we nzaruha. Ni nde umeze nkanjye kandi se ni nde wahangana nanjye? Ni uwuhe mwungeri* wampagarara imbere?+ 20 Ubwo rero nimwumve umwanzuro Yehova yafatiye Edomu n’ibyago azateza abaturage b’i Temani.+

Abana bo mu mukumbi bazajyanwa kure.

Urwuri* rwabo azaruhindura amatongo kubera bo.+

21 Kubera urusaku rwo kugwa kwabo isi yaratigise.

Nimwumve urusaku.

Rwarumvikanye rugera no ku Nyanja Itukura.+

23 Ibyahanuriwe Damasiko:+

Bagize ubwoba bwinshi.

Inyanja irahangayitse ku buryo idashobora gutuza.

24 Damasiko yacitse intege.

Yasubiye inyuma irahunga kandi yicwa n’ubwoba.

28 Ibyahanuriwe Kedari+ n’ubwami bwa Hasori, ubwo Nebukadinezari* umwami w’i Babuloni yatsinze. Yehova aravuga ati:

30 Yehova aravuga ati:

“Mwa baturage b’i Hasori mwe nimuhunge. Muhungire kure cyane. Nimumanuke hasi cyane mutureyo.

Ntihagira inzugi n’ibyo zifataho; batuye ukwabo.

Nzabateza ibyago biturutse mu byerekezo byose,” ni ko Yehova avuga.

34 Mu ntangiriro y’ubutegetsi bwa Sedekiya+ umwami w’u Buyuda, Yehova yabwiye umuhanuzi Yeremiya ibizaba kuri Elamu+ ati: 35 “Yehova nyiri ingabo aravuga ati: ‘dore ngiye kuvuna umuheto wa Elamu,+ ari wo imbaraga zayo zishingiyeho.* 36 Nzateza Elamu imiyaga ine iturutse mu mpera enye z’ijuru. Abayituye nzabatatanyiriza muri ibyo byerekezo byose by’imiyaga. Nta gihugu na kimwe abatatanyijwe bo muri Elamu batazageramo.’”

37 “Nzamenagurira abo muri Elamu imbere y’abanzi babo n’abashaka kubica.* Nzabateza ibyago, ni ukuvuga uburakari bwanjye bugurumana nk’umuriro,” ni ko Yehova avuga. “Nzabakurikiza inkota kugeza igihe nzabatsemberaho.”

38 Yehova aravuga ati: “Nzashyira intebe yanjye y’ubwami muri Elamu+ kandi nzarimbura umwami n’abatware baho.”

39 Yehova aravuga ati: “Ariko mu minsi ya nyuma nzahuriza hamwe imfungwa zo muri Elamu.”

50 Ibi ni byo Yehova yavuze kuri Babuloni,+ igihugu cy’Abakaludaya, akoresheje umuhanuzi Yeremiya:

 2 “Nimubivuge mu bihugu kandi mubitangaze.

Nimushinge ikimenyetso kandi mubitangaze.

Beli yakojejwe isoni.+

Merodaki yahahamutse.

 3 Hari igihugu cyayiteye giturutse mu majyaruguru.+

4 Yehova aravuga ati: “Muri iyo minsi no muri icyo gihe, Abisirayeli bazazana n’Abayuda.+ Bazaza barira inzira yose+ kandi bose bazashaka Yehova Imana yabo.+ 5 Bazabaririza aho inzira igana i Siyoni iherereye, ari ho berekeza amaso,+ bavuga bati: ‘nimuze twiyunge na Yehova, tugirane na we isezerano rihoraho ritazibagirana.’+ 6 Abantu banjye babaye nk’intama zazimiye.+ Abungeri* babo barabayobeje.+ Babajyanye ku misozi, babazerereza babavana ku musozi bakabajyana ku gasozi. Bibagiwe aho baba. 7 Abababonaga bose barabaryaga+ kandi abanzi babo baravuze bati: ‘nta cyaha tuzabarwaho, kuko bacumuye kuri Yehova, we utuye ahantu hakiranuka kandi akaba ibyiringiro bya ba sekuruza; ni we Yehova.’”

Iyo barashe ntibahusha.

10 Igihugu cy’Abakaludaya kizasahurwa.+

Abagisahura bose bazahaga,”+ ni ko Yehova avuga.

12 Mama wanyu yakozwe n’isoni.+

Mama wanyu wababyaye yarahemukiwe.

Muyihimureho.

Muyikorere nk’ibyo yabakoreye.+

17 “Abisirayeli bameze nk’intama zatatanye.+ Intare zarabatatanyije.+ Umwami wa Ashuri ni we wabanje kubarya+ hanyuma Umwami Nebukadinezari* w’i Babuloni ahekenya amagufwa yabo.+ 18 Ni yo mpamvu Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli avuga ati: ‘dore ngiye guhana umwami w’i Babuloni, mpane n’igihugu cye nk’uko nahannye umwami wa Ashuri.+ 19 Nzagarura Isirayeli mu rwuri* rwe,+ arishe i Karumeli n’i Bashani+ kandi azahaga* ari mu misozi miremire ya Efurayimu+ na Gileyadi.’”+

21 Yehova aravuga ati: “Zamuka utere igihugu cya Meratayimu, utere n’abatuye i Pekodi.+

Ubatsembe kandi ubarimbure.

Ukore ibyo nagutegetse byose.

23 Mbega ukuntu inyundo y’umucuzi yamenaguraga isi yose, yacitsemo kabiri ikameneka!+

Mbega ukuntu Babuloni yahindutse ikintu giteye ubwoba mu bihugu!+

26 Muyitere muturutse mu turere twa kure cyane.+

Mufungure ibigega byayo.+

Ibiyirimo mubirunde nk’ibinyampeke.

Muyisenye* burundu.+

Ntihagire umuntu n’umwe uyisigaramo.

27 Mwice ibimasa bikiri bito byaho byose.+

Bimanuke bijya mu ibagiro.

Bayigote impande zose ntihagire n’umwe ubacika.

33 Yehova nyiri ingabo aravuga ati:

36 Inkota izica abahanuzi b’ibinyoma,* bamere nk’abasazi.

Inkota izica abarwanyi b’i Babuloni kandi bazagira ubwoba bwinshi.+

Inkota izibasira ubutunzi bwaho maze busahurwe.+

38 Kurimbuka bigeze ku mazi yaho kandi azakama.+

40 Yehova aravuga ati: “Nk’uko byagenze igihe Imana yarimburaga Sodomu na Gomora+ n’imijyi yari ihakikije,+ nta muntu uzahatura kandi nta muntu uzahaba.+

42 Bamenyereye kurwanisha umuheto n’icumu.+

Yewe mukobwa w’i Babuloni we, bishyize hamwe nk’umuntu umwe ngo bagutere.+

44 “Dore umuntu azaza nk’intare iturutse mu bihuru byo kuri Yorodani, atere urwuri* rurimo umutekano, ariko mu kanya gato nzatuma bahunga baruvemo. Uwatoranyijwe ni we nzaruha.+ Ni nde umeze nkanjye kandi se ni nde wahangana nanjye? Ni uwuhe mwungeri* wampagarara imbere?+ 45 Ubwo rero, nimwumve umwanzuro Yehova yafatiye Babuloni+ n’ibyago azateza igihugu cy’Abakaludaya.

Abana bo mu mukumbi bazajyanwa kure.

Urwuri rwabo azaruhindura amatongo kubera bo.+

51 Yehova aravuga ati:

Ku munsi w’amakuba bazayitera bayiturutse impande zose.+

 5 Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana y’Abisirayeli n’Abayuda ntiyabaretse ngo babe abapfakazi.+

Ariko igihugu* cyabo cyuzuye ibyaha bakoreye Uwera wa Isirayeli.

Ntimurimbuke muzize icyaha cyayo.

Igihe cya Yehova cyo kwihorera cyageze.

Agiye kuyikorera ibihuje n’ibyo yakoze.+

Ibihugu byasinze divayi yayo.+

Ni yo mpamvu ibihugu bimeze nk’ibyasaze.+

 8 Babuloni yaguye mu buryo butunguranye iramenagurika.+

Nimuyiririre.+

Muyishakire umuti wo kuyivura ububabare bwayo, wenda yakira.”

 9 “Twagerageje gukiza Babuloni, ariko yanze gukira.

10 Yehova yaraturenganuye.+

Nimuze tuvugire muri Siyoni ibyo Yehova Imana yacu yakoze.”+

11 “Mutyaze imyambi,+ mufate ingabo zifite ishusho y’uruziga.*

Ni igihe cyo kwihorera kwa Yehova, ahorera urusengero rwe.

12 Nimushinge ikimenyetso*+ kugira ngo mutere inkuta z’i Babuloni.

Mucunge umutekano cyane, mushyire abarinzi mu myanya yabo.

14 Yehova nyiri ingabo yarahiye mu izina rye aravuga ati:

17 Umuntu wese akora ibintu atatekerejeho kandi ntagaragaza ubwenge mu byo akora.

18 Byose ni ubusa;+ ni ibyo gusekwa.

Umunsi wabyo wo gucirwa urubanza nugera, bizarimbuka.

Yehova nyiri ingabo ni ryo zina rye.”+

22 Ni wowe nzakoresha menagura umugabo n’umugore.

23 Ni wowe nzakoresha menagura umwungeri* n’amatungo aragiye.

Amazu yaho yarahiye.

Ibifashe inzugi zaho byaravunaguritse.+

33 Yehova nyiri ingabo Imana ya Isirayeli aravuga ati:

“Umukobwa w’i Babuloni ameze nk’imbuga bahuriraho imyaka.

34 “Nebukadinezari* umwami w’i Babuloni yarandiye.+

Yatumye nyoberwa icyo nkora.

Yansize meze nk’igikoresho kirimo ubusa.

Yanjugunye kure.

35 Umuturage w’i Siyoni aravuga ati: ‘urugomo nakorewe n’urwakorewe umubiri wanjye rube kuri Babuloni.’+

Yerusalemu iravuga iti: ‘amaraso yanjye abe ku gihugu cy’u Bukaludaya.’”

36 Ni yo mpamvu Yehova avuga ati:

Nzakamya inyanja yayo nkamye n’amariba yayo.+

41 “Mbega ukuntu Sheshaki* yafashwe!+

Mbega ngo harafatwa kandi ari ho hari Ikuzo ry’isi yose!+

Mbega ngo Babuloni irahinduka ikintu giteye ubwoba mu mahanga!

43 Imijyi yayo yabaye ikintu giteye ubwoba, igihugu cyumagaye n’ubutayu.

Nta muntu uzongera kuyibamo kandi nta wuzongera kuyinyuramo.+

46 Ntimuterwe ubwoba cyangwa ngo muhahamurwe n’inkuru muzumva mu gihugu.

Zizaba zivuga urugomo ruri mu gihugu n’umwami urwana n’undi mwami.

50 Yemwe abarokotse, nimukomeze mugende ntimuhagarare.+

51 “Twakojejwe isoni kuko twumvise ibitutsi.

Bazumvikanisha urusaku rw’ijwi ryabo.

Azitura buri wese ibihuye n’ibyo yakoze.”+

58 Yehova nyiri ingabo aravuga ati:

Abantu bazaruhira ubusa.

Ibihugu bizananirwa maze bitwikwe n’umuriro.”+

59 Ibi ni byo umuhanuzi Yeremiya yategetse Seraya umuhungu wa Neriya,+ umuhungu wa Mahaseya, igihe yajyanaga na Sedekiya umwami w’u Buyuda i Babuloni mu mwaka wa kane w’ubutegetsi bwe. Seraya ni we witaga ku bintu by’umwami. 60 Yeremiya yandika mu gitabo kimwe ibyago byose byagombaga kugera kuri Babuloni, yandikamo imanza zose Babuloni yaciriwe. 61 Nanone Yeremiya yabwiye Seraya ati: “Nugera i Babuloni, ukihabona uzasome aya magambo yose mu ijwi ryo hejuru. 62 Uvuge uti: ‘Yehova, waciriye urubanza aha hantu, uvuga ko hazarimbuka kandi hagasigara hadatuwe n’abantu cyangwa inyamaswa kandi ko hazakomeza kudaturwa kugeza iteka ryose.’+ 63 Kandi nurangiza gusoma iki gitabo, uzagihambireho ibuye maze ukijugunye mu ruzi rwa Ufurate. 64 Uvuge uti: ‘uku ni ko Babuloni izarohama ntiyongere kuzamuka,+ bitewe n’amakuba ngiye kuyiteza; bazacika intege.’”+

Aha ni ho amagambo ya Yeremiya arangiriye.

52 Sedekiya+ yagiye ku butegetsi afite imyaka 21, amara imyaka 11 ku butegetsi i Yerusalemu. Mama we yitwaga Hamutali+ akaba yari umukobwa wa Yeremiya w’i Libuna. 2 Sedekiya yakomeje gukora ibyo Yehova yanga, nk’ibyo Yehoyakimu yakoze byose.+ 3 Ibyo byose byabaye i Yerusalemu no mu Buyuda, bitewe n’uko Yehova yabarakariye kugeza ubwo yabakuye imbere y’amaso ye.+ Nuko Sedekiya yigomeka ku mwami w’i Babuloni.+ 4 Mu mwaka wa cyenda w’ubutegetsi bwa Sedekiya, mu kwezi kwa 10, ku itariki ya 10, Nebukadinezari* umwami w’i Babuloni n’ingabo ze zose bateye i Yerusalemu bahashinga amahema, bubaka urukuta rwo kugota uwo mujyi.+ 5 Yakomeje kuwugota kugeza mu mwaka wa 11 w’ubutegetsi bwa Sedekiya.

6 Ku itariki ya cyenda z’ukwezi kwa kane,+ inzara yari nyinshi mu mujyi, abaturage barabuze ibyokurya.+ 7 Nyuma yaho abantu baciye inzira mu rukuta rw’umujyi maze ingabo zose zihunga ari nijoro zinyuze mu irembo ryo hagati y’inkuta ebyiri, ryari hafi y’ubusitani bw’umwami, igihe Abakaludaya bari bagose umujyi, zikomeza zerekeza muri Araba.+ 8 Ariko ingabo z’Abakaludaya zakurikiye Sedekiya,+ zimufatira mu bibaya byo mu butayu bw’i Yeriko maze ingabo ze zose zirahunga asigara wenyine. 9 Nuko Abakaludaya baramufata bamushyira umwami w’i Babuloni i Ribula mu gihugu cy’i Hamati, hanyuma amucira urubanza. 10 Umwami w’i Babuloni yicira abahungu ba Sedekiya imbere ye kandi yicira abatware b’u Buyuda i Ribula. 11 Hanyuma umwami w’i Babuloni amena Sedekiya amaso,+ amubohesha iminyururu y’umuringa amujyana i Babuloni, amufungirayo kugeza igihe yapfiriye.

12 Mu mwaka wa 19 w’ubutegetsi bwa Nebukadinezari* umwami w’i Babuloni, mu kwezi kwa gatanu, ku itariki ya 10, Nebuzaradani, wayoboraga abarindaga umwami akaba yarakoreraga umwami w’i Babuloni, yaje i Yerusalemu.+ 13 Yatwitse inzu ya Yehova,+ inzu y’umwami n’amazu yose y’i Yerusalemu. Nanone amazu manini na yo yarayatwitse. 14 Nuko ingabo zose z’Abakaludaya zari kumwe n’uwayoboraga abarindaga umwami zisenya inkuta zari zikikije Yerusalemu.+

15 Nebuzaradani wayoboraga abarindaga umwami, yajyanye ku ngufu bamwe mu bantu baciriritse n’abantu bari basigaye mu mujyi. Nanone yafashe abari baratorotse bagasanga umwami w’i Babuloni n’abakozi b’abahanga bari barasigaye.+ 16 Ariko Nebuzaradani wayoboraga abarindaga umwami yasize bamwe mu bantu bari bakennye cyane bo muri icyo gihugu, abagira abakozi bakora mu mirima y’imizabibu n’indi mirimo y’agahato y’ubuhinzi.+

17 Abakaludaya bamenaguye inkingi zicuzwe mu muringa+ zari mu nzu ya Yehova, amagare+ n’ikigega cy’amazi+ gicuzwe mu muringa byose byari mu nzu ya Yehova, nuko umuringa wose bawujyana i Babuloni.+ 18 Nanone batwaye ibikoresho byo gukuraho ivu, ibitiyo, udukoresho two kuzimya umuriro, ibisorori,+ ibikombe+ n’ibikoresho byose bicuzwe mu muringa byakoreshwaga mu rusengero. 19 Umukuru w’abarindaga umwami yatwaye ibikarabiro,+ ibikoresho byo kurahuza amakara, ibisorori, ibikoresho byo kuvanaho ivu, ibitereko by’amatara,+ ibikombe n’ibisorori byari bicuzwe muri zahabu nyayo n’ifeza nyayo.+ 20 Nta muntu washoboraga kumenya uburemere bw’umuringa bwa za nkingi ebyiri, ikigega cy’amazi, ibimasa 12 bicuzwe mu muringa+ byari biteretseho ikigega cy’amazi n’amagare, ibyo Umwami Salomo yari yaracuze ngo bijye bikoreshwa mu nzu ya Yehova.

21 Ku birebana n’inkingi, buri nkingi yari ifite ubuhagarike bwa metero umunani* kandi yashoboraga kuzengurukwa n’umugozi bapimisha wa metero eshanu.*+ Umubyimba wayo wanganaga na santimetero zirindwi n’ibice bine* kandi imeze nk’itiyo. 22 Inkingi yari ifite umutwe ukozwe mu muringa kandi ubuhagarike bw’umutwe w’inkingi bwari metero ebyiri.*+ Urushundura n’amakomamanga* byari bizengurutse umutwe w’inkingi byose byari bikozwe mu muringa. Inkingi ya kabiri na yo yari ifite imitako imeze gutyo, ifite n’amakomamanga. 23 Mu mpande za buri mutwe hariho amakomamanga 96, buri rushundura rwari ruzengurutse umutwe rukaba rwariho amakomamanga 100.+

24 Nanone kandi, umukuru w’abarindaga umwami yajyanye umutambyi mukuru Seraya+ n’uwari umwungirije witwaga Zefaniya+ n’abarinzi b’amarembo batatu.+ 25 Yakuye mu mujyi umukozi w’ibwami wayoboraga abasirikare, abajyanama barindwi bihariye b’umwami bari aho mu mujyi, umunyamabanga w’umugaba w’ingabo wari ushinzwe kwinjiza abantu mu ngabo n’abaturage 60 basanzwe yasanze mu mujyi. 26 Nebuzaradani wari umukuru w’abarindaga umwami yarabafashe, abashyira umwami w’i Babuloni i Ribula. 27 Umwami w’i Babuloni yabiciye i Ribula+ mu gihugu cy’i Hamati. Uko ni ko Abayuda bavanywe mu gihugu cyabo ku ngufu.+
