1Sedekiya mwene Yosiya yima ingoma mu kigwi cya Koniya mwene Yehoyakimu, ari we Nebukadinezariumwami w'i Babuloniyimitse mu gihugu cy'u Buyuda.
2Ariko we ubwe n'abagaragu be n'abantu bo mu gihugu, ntibumviye amagambo Uwiteka yavugiyemu kanwa k'umuhanuzi Yeremiya.
3Umwami Sedekiya atuma Yukalimwene Shelemiya, na Zefaniya mwene Māseya w'umutambyi ku muhanuzi Yeremiya ati “Udusabire ku Uwiteka Imana yacu.”
4Icyo gihe Yeremiya yajyaga agenda mu bantu agataha iwe, kuko batari bamushyira mu nzu y'imbohe.
5Hanyuma ingabo za Farawo zihagurukamuri Egiputa ziteye, nuko Abakaludayabari bagose i Yerusalemu bumvise izo nkuru, baherako baragandura bava i Yerusalemu.
6Maze ijambo ry'Uwiteka riza ku muhanuzi Yeremiya riti
7“Uku ni ko Uwiteka Imana ya Isirayeli ivuga ngo ‘Uku abe ari ko muzabwiraumwami w'u Buyudawabantumyeho kumbaza muti: Dore ingabo za Farawo zahagurukiyekubatabara, zizasubiramuri Egiputa mu gihugu cyazo.
8Kandi Abakaludayabazagaruka batere uyu murwa, bazawutsinda bawutwike.’”
9Uku ni ko Uwiteka avuga ati “Ntimwishuke ngo mwizere muti ‘NiukuriAbakaludayabazatuvaho’kuko batazahera.
10Erega naho mwanesha ingabo z'Abakaludayazose zibarwanya zikaba inkomere gusa, hanyuma bababyukanaumuntu wese akava mu ihema rye, bagatwika uyu murwa!”
11Ingabo z'Abakaludayazimaze kuva i Yerusalemu zibitewe no gutinya ingabo za Farawo,
12Yeremiya aherako ava i Yerusalemu agira ngo ajye mu gihugu cya Benyamini, ngo abonereyoumugabane we mu bantu baho.
13Ageze ku irembo rya Benyamini, hariumutware w'abarinzi, witwaga Iriya mwene Shelemiya mwene Hananiya, maze afataumuhanuzi Yeremiya ati “Ugiye kuducikira mu Bakaludaya.”
14Yeremiya aramuhakanira ati “Urambeshyera, simbacikira mu Bakaludaya.”Ariko ntiyamwumvira. Nuko Iriya afata Yeremiya, amushyira ibikomangoma.
15Ibikomangoma birakarira Yeremiya biramukubita, bimugiraimbohe bimushyira mu nzu ya Yonatani w'umwanditsi, kuko bari bayigize inzu y'imbohe.
16Yeremiya yari mu nzu y'imbohe mu tuzu twayo dufunganye, atumaramo iminsi myinshi.
17Hanyuma Umwami Sedekiya aratuma ngo bamuzane, mazeumwami amubazabiherereye mu nzu ye ati “Mbese hari ijambo rivuye ku Uwiteka?”
Yeremiya ati “Ririho.”Arongera ati “Uzashyirwa mu maboko y'umwami w'i Babuloni.”
18Yeremiya arongera abaza Umwami Sedekiya ati “Icyo nagucumuyehoni iki ari wowe cyangwa abagaragu bawe cyangwa ubu bwoko, cyatumye munshyira mu nzu y'imbohe?
19Mbese ye, ba bahanuzi banyu babahanuriraga bari he? Ngo ntabwoumwami w'i Babuloniazabatera, habe no kuzatera iki gihugu.
20Noneho ndagusabango wumve, mwami nyagasani, ndakwinginga ngounyemerere icyo ngusabye, we kunsubizakwa Yonatani w'umwanditsi ntahagwa.”
21Nuko Umwami Sedekiya ategeka ko Yeremiya arindirwa mu rugo rw'inzu y'imbohe, ngo iminsi yose bajye bamuha irobe ry'umutsima rivuye mu nzira y'abavuzi bayo, kugezaubwo imitsima yose izashira mu murwa. Nuko Yeremiya aguma mu rugo rw'inzu y'imbohe.
