Bibiliya Ijambo ry'imana (BIRD)

Abantu bashaka kwica Yeremiya

1 Yoyakimumwene Yosiya umwami w’u Buyuda akigera ku ngoma, Uhoraho yabwiye Yeremiya ati:

2 “Hagarara mu rugo rw’Ingoro yanjye, maze ubwire aya magambo abantu bose baturutse mu mijyi y’u Buyuda, baje gusengera muri iyi Ngoro. Ubabwire ibyo nagutegetse byose ntugire ijambo na rimwe usiga.

3 Ahari bazumva bareke imigenzereze yabo mibi, bityo nanjye nzareka umugambi nari mfite wo kubateza ibyago, mbaziza n’ibikorwa byabo bibi.

4 “Uzababwire ko Uhoraho avuze ati: ‘Nimutanyumvira ngo mukurikize Amategeko nabahaye,

5 nimutumva amagambo y’abagaragu banjye b’abahanuzi ntahwemye kubatumaho nubwo mutayitayeho,

6 iyi Ngoro nzayigenza nk’uko nagenje Shilo, n’uyu mujyi uhinduke ikivume mu mahanga yose yo ku isi.’ ”

7 Abatambyi n’abahanuzi na rubanda rwose bumva Yeremiya avugira ayo magambo mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho.

8 Akimara kuvuga amagambo yose Uhoraho yamutegetse kubwira abantu bose, abatambyi n’abahanuzi na rubanda baramusumira bavuga bati: “Ugomba gupfa byanze bikunze.

9 Ni iki gitumye uhangara kuvuga ko Uhoraho agutumye guhanura ko iyi Ngoro izamera nka Shilo, n’uyu mujyi ugahinduka amatongo n’ikidaturwa?” Nuko abantu bose bakikiza Yeremiya mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho.

10 Abayobozi b’u Buyuda bumvise ibyabaye bajya mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho, bicara ku Irembo rishya ry’Ingoro y’Uhoraho.

11 Abatambyi n’abahanuzi babwira abayobozi na rubanda rwose bati: “Uyu muntu akwiye gupfa, kuko yahanuriye nabi uyu mujyi nk’uko namwe mwabyiyumviye.”

12 Nuko Yeremiya abwira abayobozi bose na rubanda rwose ati: “Uhoraho yantumye guhanura iby’iyi Ngoro n’uyu mujyi, nk’uko mumaze kubyumva byose.

13 None rero nimuhindure imigenzereze yanyu n’ibikorwa byanyu, bityo Uhoraho azisubiraho ye kubateza ibyago yari yagambiriye.

14 Naho jye ndi mu maboko yanyu, mungenze uko mushaka mukurikije ukuri.

15 Nyamara mumenye yuko nimunyica muzaba mumennye amaraso y’intungane, bityo muzaba mwikururiye umuvumo, muwukururiye n’uyu mujyi n’abawutuye. Koko rero Uhoraho ni we wantumye kubabwira ibi byose ngo mubyumve.”

16 Abayobozi na rubanda rwose babwira abatambyi n’abahanuzi bati: “Uyu muntu ntakwiriye kwicwa, kuko yatubwiye mu izina ry’Uhoraho Imana yacu.”

17 Nuko bamwe mu bakuru b’imiryango barahaguruka babwira abantu bose bateraniye aho bati:

18 “Ku ngoma ya Hezekiya umwami w’u Buyuda, umuhanuzi Mika w’i Moresheti yabwiye abantu bose bo mu Buyuda ibyavuzwe n’Uhoraho Nyiringabo ati:

‘Siyoni izahinduka nk’intabire,

Yeruzalemu izahinduka amatongo,

umusozi wubatsweho Ingoro y’Uhoraho uzahinduka ishyamba.’

19 “None se Hezekiya umwami w’u Buyuda na rubanda rwose hari ubwo bishe Mika? Reka da! Ahubwo Hezekiya yatinye Uhoraho amusaba imbabazi, bityo Uhoraho yisubiraho ntiyabateza ibyago yari yagambiriye. Nyamara tugiye kwiteza ibyago bikomeye.”

Yoyakimu yicisha umuhanuzi Uriya

20 Habayeho undi muntu wahanuye mu izina ry’Uhoraho. Uwo muntu yitwaga Uriya mwene Shemaya wo mu mujyi wa Kiriyati-Yeyarimu, yahanuye ibyerekeye uyu mujyi n’iki gihugu avuga nk’uko Yeremiya yabivuze.

21 Umwami Yoyakimu n’ingabo ze zose n’ibyegera bye bumvise ibyo Uriya yavuze, bashaka kumwica. Nyamara Uriya abyumvise agira ubwoba ahungira mu Misiri.

22 Nuko Yoyakimu yohereza Elinatani mwene Akibori n’abandi bantu mu Misiri,

23 bamuvanayo bamushyikiriza Yoyakimu. Umwami amwicisha inkota, umurambo we ushyingurwa mu irimbi rya rubanda.

24 Nyamara Yeremiya we yari arinzwe na Ahikamu mwene Shafani, ntiyagabizwa abashakaga kumwica.

Abayuda bagomba kuyoboka Nebukadinezari

1 Sedekiyamwene Yosiya umwami w’u Buyuda akigera ku ngoma, Uhoraho yabwiye Yeremiya ati:

2 “Hambira imizigo y’ingiga z’ibiti maze uyiheke ku bitugu,

3 hanyuma iyo mizigo uyoherereze umwami wa Edomu n’uwa Mowabu, n’umwami w’Abamoni n’uwa Tiri n’uwa Sidoni. Uzayishyira intumwa zabo zaje i Yeruzalemu kwa Sedekiya umwami w’u Buyuda.

4 Uzazitume kuri ba shebuja ko Uhoraho Nyiringabo Imana y’Abisiraheli avuze ati:

5 ‘Ni jye waremye isi n’abantu n’inyamaswa biyiriho, nabiremye nkoresheje imbaraga n’ububasha, mbiha uwo nshaka.

6 None rero ibi bihugu byose mbyeguriye umugaragu wanjye Nebukadinezari umwami wa Babiloniya, mweguriye n’inyamaswa zose ngo zimuyoboke.

7 Amahanga yose azamuyoboka we n’umwana we n’umwuzukuru we kugeza igihe igihugu cye kizatsindwa, hanyuma we n’abantu be bazaba inkoreragahato z’amahanga menshi n’abami bakomeye.

8 “ ‘Nihagira igihugu cyangwa ubwami byanga kuyoboka Nebukadinezari umwami wa Babiloniya bikanga kumwumvira, nzabihanisha inkota n’inzara n’icyorezo, kugeza ubwo nzabatsemba nkoresheje imbaraga ze.

9 “ ‘None rero ntimugatege amatwi abahanuzi banyu, cyangwa abaterekera cyangwa abashitsi, cyangwa abacunnyi cyangwa abapfumu bababwira ko mutazigera muyoboka umwami wa Babiloniya.

10 Ibyo babahanurira ni ibinyoma, bizatuma mujyanwa kure y’igihugu cyanyu. Koko rero nzabamenesha maze murimbuke.

11 Nyamara nihagira abantu bayoboka umwami wa Babiloniya bakamukorera, nzabagumisha mu gihugu cyabo bagihinge kandi bagituremo.’ ” Uko ni ko Uhoraho avuze.

12 Jyewe Yeremiya amagambo nk’aya nayabwiye Sedekiya umwami w’u Buyuda nti: “Nimuyoboke umwami wa Babiloniya, mumukorere we n’abantu be bityo mubeho.

13 Kuki wowe n’abantu bawe mwakwicwa n’intambara n’inzara n’icyorezo, nk’uko Uhoraho yabigambiriye ku gihugu cyose kizanga kuyoboka umwami wa Babiloniya?

14 None rero ntimugatege amatwi amagambo y’abahanuzi bababwira bati: ‘Ntimuzayoboke umwami wa Babiloniya, kuko ibyo babahanurira ari ibinyoma.’

15 Uhoraho aravuga ati: ‘Ntabwo nigeze mbatuma. Ibyo bahanura mu izina ryanjye ni ibinyoma, bityo nzabamenesha maze murimbuke, mwebwe n’abahanuzi babahanurira ibinyoma.’ ”

16 Hanyuma nabwiye abatambyi n’abantu bose nti: “Uhoraho aravuze ati: ‘Ntimutege amatwi abahanuzi babahanurira ngo ibikoresho byo mu Ngoro byajyanywe i Babiloni bizagarurwa vuba. Ibyo babahanurira ni ibinyoma.

17 Ntimukabatege amatwi, ahubwo muzayoboke Umwami wa Babiloniya maze mubeho. Kuki umurwa wagomba guhinduka amatongo?’

18 “Nyamara niba abo ari abahanuzi koko bakaba bafite Ijambo ry’Uhoraho, nibatakambire Uhoraho Nyiringabo maze ibikoresho byasigaye mu Ngoro ye no mu ngoro y’umwami w’u Buyuda n’i Yeruzalemu, bitajyanwa muri Babiloniya.

19 “Dore ibyo Uhoraho Nyiringabo avuga ku byerekeye inkingi n’ikizenga n’ibigare, n’ibindi bikoresho byasigaye muri uyu mujyi.

20 Ibyo ni ibikoresho Nebukadinezari umwami wa Babiloniya atasahuye, igihe ajyanye Yekoniya mwene Yoyakimu umwami w’u Buyuda ho umunyago, amuvanye i Yeruzalemu akamujyana i Babiloni. Yamujyanye hamwe n’abanyacyubahiro bose bo mu Buyuda n’ab’i Yeruzalemu.

21 Nuko rero nimwumve icyo Uhoraho Nyiringabo Imana y’Abisiraheli avuga ku byerekeye ibikoresho byasigaye mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho, no mu ngoro y’umwami w’u Buyuda i Yeruzalemu.

22 Bizajyanwa i Babiloni bigumeyo kugeza igihe nzabigarurira aha hantu.” Uko ni ko Uhoraho avuze.

Hananiya ahanura ibinyoma

1 Mu kwezi kwa gatanu k’umwaka wa kane Sedekiyaumwami w’u Buyuda ari ku ngoma, muri uwo mwaka ni bwo umuhanuzi Hananiya mwene Azuri ukomoka i Gibeyoni yabwiriye Yeremiya mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho, imbere y’abatambyi na rubanda rwose ati:

2 “Ibi ni byo Uhoraho Nyiringabo Imana y’Abisiraheli avuze: nkuyeho agahato k’umwami wa Babiloniya.

3 Mu myaka ibiri nzagarura aha hantu ibikoresho byose byo mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho, Nebukadinezari umwami wa Babiloniya yanyaze akabijyana i Babiloni.

4 Nzagarura kandi Yoyakini mwene Yoyakimu umwami w’u Buyuda, hamwe n’Abayuda bose bajyanywe ho iminyago muri Babiloniya. Koko rero nzakuraho agahato k’umwami wa Babiloniya.”

5 Hanyuma umuhanuzi Yeremiya asubiriza umuhanuzi Hananiya imbere y’abatambyi, n’imbere ya rubanda rwose bari mu Ngoro y’Uhoraho ati:

6 “Icyampa ngo Uhoraho asohoze ibyo uhanuye, maze agarure aha hantu ibikoresho byo mu Ngoro ye biri i Babiloni, n’abantu bose bajyanywe ho iminyago.

7 Nyamara umva icyo nkubwira wowe na rubanda rwose.

8 Abahanuzi batubanjirije bahanuye ko ibihugu byinshi n’ubwami bukomeye, bizatsembeshwa inkota n’ibyago n’icyorezo.

9 Nyamara umuhanuzi uhanura ibyerekeye amahoro, azemerwa ko ari umunyakuri watumwe n’Uhoraho igihe ibyo ahanuye ari impamo.”

10 Nuko umuhanuzi Hananiya afata wa muzigo wari ku bitugu by’umuhanuzi Yeremiya, arawusandaza.

11 Maze Hananiya avugira imbere ya rubanda ati: “Uhoraho aravuze ati: ‘Nguko uko nzakuraho agahato Nebukadinezari umwami wa Babiloniya yakoresheje amahanga yose mu myaka ibiri.’ ” Nuko umuhanuzi Yeremiya arigendera.

12 Umuhanuzi Hananiya amaze gusandaza umuzigo wari ku bitugu bya Yeremiya, Uhoraho abwira Yeremiya ati:

13 “Genda umbwirire Hananiya uti: ‘Wasandaje ingiga z’ibiti nyamara nzazisimbuza iz’ibyuma.’

14 Dore ibyo Uhoraho Nyiringabo Imana y’Abisiraheli avuga: nzashyira ku bitugu by’aya mahanga yose umuzigo w’ibyuma, kugira ngo akorere Nebukadinezari umwami wa Babiloniya. Koko bazamukorera. Nzamuha gutegeka n’inyamaswa.”

15 Nuko umuhanuzi Yeremiya abwira Hananiya ati: “Umva Hananiya we, Uhoraho ntiyigeze agutuma, ahubwo ibyo wijeje aba bantu ni ibinyoma.

16 Ni cyo gituma Uhoraho avuga ati: ‘Dore ngiye kukwica. Uyu mwaka uzapfa kuko woheje abantu kugomera Uhoraho.’ ”

17 Nuko Hananiya apfa mu kwezi kwa karindwi k’uwo mwaka.

Urwandiko Yeremiya yandikiye abajyanywe ho iminyago

1 Uru ni urwandiko umuhanuzi Yeremiya yanditse ari i Yeruzalemu, arwoherereza abakuru b’imiryango mu bajyanywe ho iminyago, hamwe n’abatambyi n’abahanuzi na rubanda rwose, Nebukadinezari yatwaye ho iminyago abavanye i Yeruzalemu akabajyana muri Babiloniya.

2 Yeremiya yanditse urwo rwandiko nyuma y’uko Umwami Yoyakini n’umugabekazi, n’ibyegera bye n’abayobozi b’u Buyuda n’aba Yeruzalemu, n’abanyabukorikori n’abanyabugeni bajyanywe ho iminyago bavuye i Yeruzalemu.

3 Urwo rwandiko rwajyanywe na Elasa mwene Shafani na Gemariya mwene Hilikiya, ari bo Sedekiya umwami w’u Buyuda yatumye kuri Nebukadinezari umwami wa Babiloniya. Rwari ruteye rutya:

4 Uhoraho Nyiringabo Imana y’Abisiraheli arabwira abantu bose bavuye i Yeruzalemu, bajyanwa ho iminyago muri Babiloniya ati:

5 “Nimwiyubakire amazu muyabemo, nimuhinge imirima murye ibiyezemo.

6 Nimushake abagore mubyare abahungu n’abakobwa, nimushyingire abahungu banyu n’abakobwa banyu, kugira ngo na bo babyare abahungu n’abakobwa. Nimwororoke ntimuzagabanuke.

7 Nimuharanire amahoro y’umujyi nemeye ko mujyanwa mo iminyago. Muzantakambire musabira amahoro uyu mujyi kuko amahoro yawo ari yo yanyu.”

8 Koko rero Uhoraho Nyiringabo Imana y’Abisiraheli aravuze ati: “Ntimukemere ko abahanuzi banyu n’ababaterekerera babashuka, ntimukite no ku bashitsi banyu.

9 Ibyo babahanurira mu izina ryanjye ni ibinyoma, sinigeze mbatuma.”

10 Uhoraho arakomeza ati: “Nimumara imyaka mirongo irindwi muri Babiloniya, nzabagoboka nsohoze Isezerano ryanjye mbagarure iwanyu.

11 Nzi imigambi mbafitiye. Ni imigambi ibazanira amahoro si ibakururira ibyago, ahubwo ni imigambi ibaha amizero y’igihe kizaza.

12 Nimunsanga mukantakambira mukansenga, nzabumva.

13 Muzanshakashaka mumbone, nimunshaka mubikuye ku mutima.

14 Muzambona maze mbagarure mbavanye aho mwajyanywe ho iminyago, nzabakoranya mbavane mu mahanga yose n’ahantu hose nabatatanyirije, nzabagarura aho nabakuye mujyanwa ho iminyago.” Uko ni ko Uhoraho avuze.

15 Muravuga muti: “Turi muri Babiloniya, Uhoraho yadutoranyijemo abahanuzi.”

16 Nyamara nimwumve ibyo Uhoraho avuga byerekeye umwami wicaye ku ntebe ya Dawidi, no ku byerekeye abaturage bose b’i Yeruzalemu, ari bo bavandimwe banyu batajyanywe ho iminyago hamwe namwe.

17 Uhoraho Nyiringabo arababwira ati: “Dore ngiye kubatsembesha inkota n’inzara n’icyorezo, nzatuma bamera nk’imbuto z’umutini zaboze zidashobora kuribwa.

18 Nzabakurikirana mbatsembeshe inkota n’inzara n’icyorezo, kugeza ubwo ibihugu byose byo ku isi bizabareba bigatinya. Bazabahindura urw’amenyo kubera ko nzabagira ibivume n’iciro ry’imigani mu mahanga yose nzabatatanyirizamo.

19 Ibi bizababaho kuko batumviye amagambo ntahwemye kubatumaho, nyanyujije ku bagaragu banjye b’abahanuzi. Namwe abo muri Babiloniya ntimwanyitayeho.” Uko ni ko Uhoraho avuze.

20 None rero mwebwe abavuye i Yeruzalemu mujyanywe ho iminyago muri Babiloniya, nimwumve Ijambo ry’Uhoraho.

21 Uhoraho Nyiringabo Imana ya Isiraheli arabwira Ahabu mwene Kolaya, na Sedekiya mwene Māseya babahanurira ibinyoma mu izina rye ati: “Nzabagabiza Nebukadinezari umwami wa Babiloniya abicire imbere yanyu.

22 Abantu bavanywe mu Buyuda bajyanywe ho iminyago muri Babiloniya, nibashaka kuvuma umuntu bazavuga bati: ‘Uhoraho azakugire nk’uko yagize Sedekiya na Ahabu, abo umwami wa Babiloniya yatwitse.’

23 Bakoze ikizira muri Isiraheli, basambanyije abagore ba bagenzi babo kandi bahanura ibinyoma mu izina ryanjye ntabibatumye. Ibyo ndabizi neza kandi ndabihamya.” Uko ni ko Uhoraho avuze.

Urwandiko Yeremiya yoherereje Shemaya

24 Ubu ni ubutumwa Uhoraho yampaye ngo mbubwire Shemaya w’i Nehelamu.

25 Uhoraho Nyiringabo Imana y’Abisiraheli aravuze ati: “Wanditse urwandiko mu izina ryawe, urwoherereza Sefaniya mwene Māseya umutambyi n’abatambyi bose, ndetse n’abantu bose b’i Yeruzalemu. Muri urwo rwandiko wabwiye Sefaniya uti:

26 ‘Uhoraho yakugize umutambyi mu cyimbo cya Yehoyada ngo ube umuyobozi w’Ingoro y’Uhoraho, kugira ngo ushyire ku ngoyi umuntu wese wishajije akigira umuhanuzi ashyirwe muri gereza.

27 None se kuki udahana Yeremiya wa Anatoti wigize umuhanuzi?

28 Dore aherutse kutwandikira hano muri Babiloniya ngo: Muzahamara igihe kirekire. None rero nimwiyubakire amazu mubamo, kandi muhinge imirima murye ibiyezemo.’ ”

29 Nuko umutambyi Sefaniya asomera urwo rwandiko umuhanuzi Yeremiya.

30 Uhoraho abwira Yeremiya ati:

31 “Tuma ku bantu bose bajyanywe ho iminyago uti: ‘Nimwumve ibyo Uhoraho avuga kuri Shemaya w’i Nehelamu, kubera ko Shemaya yabahanuriye ibyo ntamutumye kandi agatuma mwizera ibinyoma.

32 Ngiye kumuhana we n’abamukomokaho. Nta n’umwe mu bamukomokaho uzasigara muri mwe, cyangwa ngo abone ibyiza nzakorera abantu banjye, kubera ko aboshya kungomera.’ ” Uko ni ko Uhoraho avuze.

Amasezerano Uhoraho yasezeraniye abantu be

1 Uhoraho yabwiye Yeremiya ati:

2 “Jyewe Uhoraho Imana y’Abisiraheli ndavuze nti: ‘Andika mu gitabo amagambo yose nakubwiye.

3 Dore igihe kiregereje, abantu banjye b’Abisiraheli n’Abayuda bajyanywe ho iminyago, nzabagarura mu gihugu nahaye ba sekuruza maze bongere bagituremo.’ ” Uko ni ko Uhoraho avuze.

4 Uhoraho yabwiye Abisiraheli n’Abayuda ati:

5 “Humvikanye umuborogo uteye ubwoba,

n’induru iteye ubwoba itari iy’amahoro.

6 Nimubaririze kandi murebe,

mbese hari umugabo uramukwa?

Kuki mbona buri mugabo yifashe mu nda nk’umugore uribwa n’ibise?

7 Ndabona buri wese yasuherewe.

Mbega ishyano! Ni umunsi uteye ubwoba,

ni umunsi utagira undi bihwanye,

ni igihe cy’umubabaro w’abakomoka kuri Yakobo,

nyamara bazawurokoka.”

8 Uhoraho Nyiringabo aravuga ati: “Uwo munsi nugera nzahambura umuzigo bahetse nywuvane ku bitugu byabo, nce imigozi yari iwuhambiriye. Abanyamahanga ntibazabagira inkoreragahato ukundi,

9 ahubwo bazayoboka Uhoraho Imana yabo n’umwami nzabaha ukomoka kuri Dawidi.”

10 Uhoraho aravuga ati:

“Rubyaro rw’umugaragu wanjye Yakobo, mwitinya,

rubyaro rwa Isiraheli, mwikangarana.

Nzabakiza mbavane mu mahanga ya kure yabajyanye ho iminyago.

Rubyaro rwa Yakobo, muzagaruka mugire amahoro,

muzishyira mwizane nta wubatera ubwoba.

11 Koko ndi kumwe namwe kugira ngo mbakize,

nzatsemba amahanga yose nabatatanyirijemo,

nyamara mwebwe sinzabatsemba burundu.

Sinzabura kubahana ariko nzaca inkoni izamba.”

12 Uhoraho aravuga ati:

“Ibyago byanyu ntibishira,

ibikomere byanyu ntibikira.

13 Nta muntu n’umwe ubitaho,

ubusanzwe ibikomere bikwiye umuti,

nyamara ibyanyu ntibigira umuti.

14 Incuti zanyu zose zarabibagiwe,

zarabibagiwe ntizikibitayeho,

koko nabahannye nk’uhana umwanzi.

Nabahannye nihanukiriye kubera ibicumuro byanyu bikabije,

narabahannye kubera ibyaha byanyu byinshi.

15 Kuki mutakishwa n’ibyaha byanyu?

Ububabare bwanyu ntibukira,

ibicumuro byanyu birakabije,

ibyaha byanyu ni byinshi,

ni cyo cyatumye mbahana.

16 Abagambiriye kubatsemba na bo bazatsembwa,

abanzi banyu bose bazajyanwa ho iminyago,

ababanyaga ibyanyu na bo bazanyagwa,

ababasahura na bo nzabasahura.

17 Nzatuma mugarura ubuyanja,

nzavura ibikomere byanyu,

nubwo abanzi banyu bavuga bati:

‘Siyoni ni igicibwa nta wuyitayeho.’ ”

18 Uhoraho aravuga ati:

“Nzagarura abakomoka kuri Yakobo mu gihugu cyabo,

nzagirira impuhwe imiryango yabo,

wa murwa uzongera kubakwa mu matongo yawo.

Ingoro ya cyami izubakwa aho yari iri.

19 Aho ni ho bazaririmbira indirimbo zo gushima Imana,

bazaharirimbira indirimbo z’umunezero.

Nzagwiza umubare wabo ntibazagabanuka,

nzabahesha icyubahiro ntibazasuzugurwa.

20 Ababakomokaho bazasubizwa uburenganzira bahoranye,

umuryango wabo uzakomera imbere yanjye,

nzahana ababakandamiza bose.

21 Umuyobozi wabo azava muri bo,

umutware wabo azabakomokamo,

nzamwigiza hafi yanjye anyegere,

koko nta watinyuka kunyegera ntamwiyegereje.

22 Muzaba abantu banjye,

nanjye nzaba Imana yanyu.”

Uko ni ko Uhoraho avuze.

23 Dore haje inkubi y’umuyaga,

ni yo burakari bw’Uhoraho,

bumeze nka serwakira yikaraga ku mitwe y’abagome.

24 Uburakari bukaze bw’Uhoraho ntibuteze gushira,

ntibuzashira adashohoje umugambi we,

ibyo muzabisobanukirwa hanyuma.

Abisiraheli bagaruka iwabo

1 Uhoraho aravuga ati:

“Igihe nikigera nzaba Imana y’imiryango yose y’Abisiraheli,

na bo bazaba abantu banjye.”

2 Uhoraho arakomeza ati:

“Abisiraheli bacitse ku icumu nabagiriye impuhwe,

nazibagiriye ubwo bari mu butayu,

bityo nabahaye ikiruhuko.”

3 Mu gihe cyashize Uhoraho yaratwigaragarije avuga ati:

“Nabakunze urukundo rudashira,

narabiyegerejembigiranye impuhwe.

4 Isiraheli we, nzakubaka bundi bushya,

uzasubirana ingoma zawe uzivuze,

uzagenda ubyina hamwe n’abanezerewe.

5 Uzongera utere imizabibu ku misozi y’i Samariya,

abazayihinga ni bo bazarya imbuto zayo.

6 Koko rero igihe kirageze,

igihe kirageze abarinzi bagiye kurangururira ku misozi ya Efurayimu,

bazarangurura bavuga bati: ‘Nimuze tujye i Siyoni,

nimuze dusange Uhoraho Imana yacu.’ ”

7 Uhoraho aravuze ati:

“Rubyaro rwa Yakobo, nimuririmbe munezerwe,

nimurangurure mwishimira ko Isiraheli isumbye amahanga.

Nimutangaze munezerewe muti:

‘Uhoraho kiza abantu bawe,

kiza abasigaye ba Isiraheli.’

8 Ngiye kubavana mu gihugu cy’amajyaruguru,

nzabakorakoranya bose mbakuye ku mpera z’isi.

Hazaba harimo impumyi n’ibirema, abagore batwite n’ababyaye,

bazagaruka ari benshi cyane.

9 Bazagaruka barira bantakambira,

nzabayobora mbahumuriza.

Nzabanyuza hafi y’imigezi,

nzabanyuza mu nzira itarimo inzitizi.

Nzayibanyuzamo kuko ndi Umubyeyi wa Isiraheli,

koko Efurayimu ni impfura yanjye.”

10 Mwa mahanga mwe, nimwumve Ijambo ry’Uhoraho,

nimuryamamaze mu bihugu bya kure muti:

“Uwatatanyije Abisiraheli ni we uzabakoranya,

azabarinda nk’uko umushumba aragira umukumbi we.

11 Koko Uhoraho yacunguye urubyaro rwa Yakobo,

yabagobotoye mu maboko y’abanyambaraga.

12 Bazaza baririmbana ibyishimo ku musozi Siyoni,

bazishimira ineza y’Uhoraho.

Bazishimira ingano na divayi n’amavuta,

bazishimira amatungo magufi n’amaremare.

Bazaba nk’umurima uvomererwa,

ntibazongera kubabara ukundi.

13 Abakobwa b’inkumi bazanezerwa babyine,

abasore n’abasaza bazidagadura.

Koko amaganya yabo nzayahindura umunezero,

nzabahumuriza, umubabaro nywuhindure ibyishimo.

14 Abatambyi nzabahaza ibinure,

abantu banjye nzabahaza ibyiza.”

Uko ni ko Uhoraho avuze.

Imbabazi Uhoraho agirira Isiraheli

15 Uhoraho aravuga ati:

“Induru yumvikaniye i Rama,

humvikanye n’amarira n’umuborogo mwinshi,

Rasheli araririra abana be,

yanze guhozwa kuko batakiriho.”

16 Nyamara Uhoraho aravuga ati:

“Rekera aho kurira wihanagure amarira,

koko imirimo yawe nzayiguhembera,

abana bawe bazagaruka bavuye mu gihugu cy’abanzi.

17 Hari ibyiringiro ku mibereho yawe y’igihe kizaza,

abana bawe bazagaruka mu gihugu cyabo.

18 Numvise amaganya y’urubyaro rwa Efurayimu bagira bati:

‘Waraduhannye turabyemera,

waduhannye nk’uhana ikimasa kitatojwe kumvira.

Tugarure tuzakugarukira,

koko uri Uhoraho Imana yacu.

19 Twari twarakwimūye none turihannye,

tumaze kumenya ikosa ryacu twisubiyeho.

Twakozwe n’isoni twicisha bugufi,

tugarutswe n’ibyo twakoze mu buto bwacu.’

20 Urubyaro rwa Efurayimu ni abana nkunda,

ni abana banjye natonesheje.

Iyo bibaye ngombwa ndabahana,

ndabahana nubwo mbahoza ku mutima.

Nkomeza kubakunda,

sinakwihanganira kutabagirira impuhwe.”

Uko ni ko Uhoraho avuze.

21 Nimwishyirireho ibimenyetso ku nzira,

nimuyishingeho ibyapa bibayobora,

nimuzirikane inzira ngari mwanyuzemo.

Rubyaro rwa Isiraheli, nimugaruke,

nimusubire mu mijyi yanyu.

22 Muzashidikanya kugeza ryari,

muzageza ryari rubyaro rwa Isiraheli rwigometse?

Dore Uhoraho agiye kurema ikintu gishya ku isi:

umugore ni we uzarinda umugabo.

U Buyuda buzagarura ubuyanja

23 Uhoraho Nyiringabo Imana y’Abisiraheli aravuga ati: “Nimara kubagarura mu gihugu cyabo, abantu bo mu Buyuda no mu mijyi bazongera bavuge bati:

‘Uhoraho nabahe umugisha,

nawuhe Ingoro yamweguriwe,

nawuhe umusozi yitoranyirije.’

24 “Abantu bo mu Bayuda no mu mijyi yaho yose, abahinzi n’abashumba bazatura hamwe.

25 Nzahembura abishwe n’inyota, nzaramira abishwe n’inzara.”

26 Nyuma y’ibyo narakangutse menya ko nasinziriye neza.

27 Uhoraho aravuga ati: “Igihe kizagera, ubwo nzagwiza abantu n’amatungo mu gihugu cya Isiraheli n’icy’u Buyuda.

28 Nk’uko nitaye ku kurandurwa, ku ihirikwa no ku irimburwa ryabo, ni na ko nzita ku iyubakwa ryabo no gukomera kwabo.

29 Icyo gihe abantu ntibazongera kuvuga bati: ‘Ababyeyi bariye imizabibu isharira, amenyo y’abana babo arangirika.’

30 Ahubwo buri wese azapfa azize icyaha cye, kandi umuntu wese urya imizabibu isharira amenyo ye azangirika.”

31 Uhoraho aravuga ati: “Dore igihe kigiye kugera ngirane Isezerano rishyan’Abisiraheli n’Abayuda.

32 Ntabwo rizaba rimeze nk’irya keranagiranye na ba sekuruza igihe nabafataga akaboko nkabavana mu Misiri, kuko bo bishe Isezerano ryanjye nubwo ndi umuyobozi wabo. Ni jye Uhoraho ubivuze.

33 Noneho ngiri Isezerano nzagirana n’Abisiraheli nyuma y’icyo gihe: nzabacengezamo amategeko yanjye nyandike mu mitima yabo, nzaba Imana yabo na bo bazaba abantu banjye.

34 Ntawe uzongera kwigisha mugenzi we cyangwa umuvandimwe we ati: ‘Menya Uhoraho’, kuko bose bazamenya uhereye ku muto ukageza ku mukuru. Nzabababarira ibicumuro byabo kandi ibyaha byabo sinzabyibuka ukundi.”

35 Uhoraho ategeka izuba ngo ribe urumuri rw’amanywa,

ategeka ukwezi n’inyenyeri ngo bimurike nijoro.

Atuma inyanja yihinduriza n’umuraba ugahorera,

uwo ni we Uhoraho Nyiringabo.

36 Uhoraho aravuga ati: “Niba aya mateka aramutse atabayeho,

Isiraheli na yo ntizongera kubaho iteka ryose.

37 Niba ijuru rishobora gupimwa,

niba imfatiro z’isi zamenyekana,

nanjye nzatererana Abisiraheli bose mbaryoza ibyo bakoze.”

38 Uhoraho aravuga ati: “Igihe kizagera, ubwo uyu mujyi wa Yeruzalemu uzongera kunyubakirwa, uhereye ku Munara wa Hananēli ukageza ku Irembo ry’Inguni.

39 Umugozi wo gupimisha uzongera kuramburwa kugera ku musozi wa Garebu, ukomeze uzenguruke i Gowa.

40 Akabande kose gahambwamo abapfu kakajugunywamo n’imyanda, n’imirima yose yegereye akagezi ka Kedironi kugeza ku nguni y’Irembo ry’Amafarasi rigana iburasirazuba, aho hose hazegurirwa Uhoraho. Umurwa ntuzongera kwangizwa cyangwa gusenywa ukundi.”

Yeremiya agura umurima

1 Ijambo ry’Uhoraho ryageze kuri Yeremiya mu mwaka wa cumi Sedekiya ari ku ngoma mu Buyuda, ari wo mwaka wa cumi n’umunani w’ingoma ya Nebukadinezari.

2 Icyo gihe ingabo z’umwami wa Babiloniya zari zigose Yeruzalemu, n’umuhanuzi Yeremiya yari afungiye mu rugo rwa gereza yari mu ngoro y’umwami w’u Buyuda.

3 Sedekiya umwami w’u Buyuda yari yarafunze Yeremiya amuhora ibyo yahanuye ngo Uhoraho yavuze ati: “Uyu mujyi ngiye kuwugabiza umwami wa Babiloniya awufate.

4 Sedekiya umwami w’u Buyuda ntazava mu nzara z’Abanyababiloniya, ahubwo azagabizwa umwami wabo. Bazavugana imbonankubone.

5 Uwo mwami azajyana Sedekiya i Babiloni, agumeyo kugeza ubwo Uhoraho azasuzuma ibye. Nubwo Sedekiya yarwana n’Abanyababiloniya ntateze gutsinda.”

6 Yeremiya aravuga ati: “Uhoraho yambwiye ngo:

7 Hanamēli mwene data wacu Shalumu agiye kugusanga akubwire ati: ‘Gura umurima wanjye uri Anatoti kuko ari wowe muvandimwe wa bugufi ufite uburenganzira bwo kuwugura.’ ”

8 Nuko nk’uko Uhoraho yabivuze, Hanamēli mwene data wacu ansanga mu rugo rwa gereza arambwira ati: “Ndagusabye ngo ugure umurima wanjye uri Anatoti mu ntara y’Ababenyamini, kuko ari wowe ufite uburenganzira bwo kuwucungura no kuwutunga, none wigurire.” Ubwo menya ko ari Ijambo ry’Uhoraho.

9 Bityo ngura umurima wa Hanamēli mwene data wacu, umurima wari Anatoti, mwishyura ibikoroto cumi na birindwi by’ifeza.

10 Nandika icyemezo cy’ubuguzi ngiteraho kashe imbere y’abagabo, maze iyo feza nyipima ku minzani.

11 Hanyuma njyana cya cyemezo cyari giteyeho kashe, ari na cyo cyari gikurikije amategeko, mfata n’ikindi cyemezo kitariho kashe.

12 Ibyo byemezo byombi mbiha Baruki mwene Neriya mwene Mahaseya. Mbimuhera imbere ya mwene data wacu Hanamēli n’abagabo bari bashyize umukono kuri icyo cyemezo, n’imbere y’Abayuda bose bari bicaye mu rugo rwa gereza.

13 Mbwirira Baruki imbere yabo nti

14 “Uhoraho Nyiringabo Imana y’Abisiraheli aravuze ati: ‘Jyana ibi byemezo byombi by’ubuguzi, igiteye kashe n’ikitariho kashe, maze ubibike mu kibindi cy’ibumba kugira ngo bizamare igihe kirekire.’ ”

15 Koko Uhoraho Nyiringabo Imana y’Abisiraheli aravuze ati: “Amazu n’imirima hamwe n’imizabibu, bizongera kugurwa muri iki gihugu.”

Isengesho rya Yeremiya

16 Namaze guha Baruki mwene Neriya icyemezo cy’ubuguzi ndasenga nti:

17 “Nyagasani Uhoraho, waremesheje ijuru n’isi ububasha bwawe bukomeye, nta kintu na kimwe cyakunanira.

18 Wagaragarije abantu benshi ko ubakunda, nyamara uhana abana ubaziza ibicumuro by’ababyeyi babo. Ni wowe Mana ikomeye kandi ishobora byose. Uhoraho Nyiringabo ni ryo zina ryawe.

19 Imigambi yawe irakomeye n’ibyo ukora biratangaje. Wita ku migenzereze yose y’abantu maze ukabahemba ukurikije imyifatire yabo n’ibikorwa byabo.

20 “Kera wakoreye ibimenyetso n’ibitangaza mu gihugu cya Misiri, ndetse no muri iki gihe uracyabikora, haba mu Bisiraheli cyangwa mu mahanga yose. Ibyo byatumye uba ikirangirire kugeza n’ubu.

21 Wakuye ubwoko bwawe bw’Abisiraheli mu Misiri ubikoresheje ibimenyetso n’ibitangaza, wagaragaje imbaraga zawe n’ubushobozi bwawe biteye ubwoba.

22 Wabahaye iki gihugu wari wararahiye ko uzaha ba sekuruza, igihugu gitemba amata n’ubuki.

23 Baraje baracyigarurira, nyamara ntibakumvira ngo bakurikize Amategeko yawe. Ntibakoze ibyo wabategetse byose, bityo ubateza biriya byago byose.

24 “Dore Abanyababiloniya bazengurukije umurwa ibirundo by’ibitaka kugira ngo bawutere. None kubera inkota n’inzara n’icyorezo, bagiye gufata umurwa. Koko rero iryo wavuze ryaratashye nk’uko nawe ubyirebera.

25 Nyamara Nyagasani Uhoraho ni wowe wambwiye uti: ‘Shaka ifeza wigurire umurima kandi ubitorere abagabo.’ None dore umurwa ugiye kwigarurirwa n’Abanyababiloniya.”

Uhoraho asubiza Yeremiya

26 Uhoraho yongera kubwira Yeremiya ati:

27 “Ndi Uhoraho Imana y’abantu bose, nta cyananira.”

28 Noneho rero Uhoraho aravuga ati: “Uyu mujyi ngiye kuwugabiza Abanyababiloniya na Nebukadinezari umwami wabo, kandi bazawigarurira.

29 Abanyababiloniya bagose uyu mujyi bazawinjiramo bawutwike. Bazatwika n’amazu abantu batambiragamo ibitambo bya Bāli hejuru yayo, bakahaturira izindi mana amaturo asukwa ku buryo bandakaza.

30 “Kuva mu buto bwabo Abisiraheli n’Abayuda bakoze ibibi gusa, ndetse nta kindi Abisiraheli bakoze uretse kundakaza kubera ibigirwamana.

31 Kuva uyu mujyi wubakwa kugeza ubu, abawutuyemo barandakaje none niyemeje kuwurimbura,

32 kubera ibibi byose bikorwa n’Abisiraheli n’Abayuda, n’abami babo n’abayobozi babo, n’abatambyi babo n’abahanuzi babo, n’abantu bo mu Buyuda n’abaturage b’i Yeruzalemu ku buryo bandakaza.

33 Banteye umugongo nubwo ntahwemye kubigisha, ntibanteze amatwi ngo bakurikize inyigisho zanjye.

34 Ahubwo Ingoro yanyeguriwe bayishyizemo ibigirwamana byabo biteye ishozi, barayihumanya.

35 Bubatse ahasengerwa Bāli mu kabande ka Hinomu, batambira ikigirwamana Moleki abahungu babo n’abakobwa babo, kandi ntarigeze mbibategeka cyangwa ngo ntekereze ko bakora ikibi nk’icyo kiyobya Abayuda.”

Isezerano ry’ibyiringiro

36 None rero Uhoraho Imana y’Abisiraheli aravuga ati: “Yeremiya we, aba bantu baravuga ko uyu mujyi uzagabizwa umwami wa Babiloniya, akawutsembesha inkota n’inzara n’icyorezo.

37 Ngiye kubakoranyiriza hamwe mbavane mu bihugu byose nabatatanyirijemo, kubera uburakari n’umujinya bikomeye nabagiriye. Nzabagarura aha hantu bahature mu mahoro asesuye.

38 Bazaba abantu banjye, nanjye nzaba Imana yabo.

39 Nzabaha guhuza imigambi n’ibitekerezo bitume bahora banyubaha, kugira ngo bamererwe neza bo ubwabo n’abazabakomokaho.

40 Nzagirana na bo Isezerano rihoraho, sinzareka kubagirira neza. Nzabatoza kunyubaha kugira ngo batazanyimūra.

41 Nzashimishwa no kubagirira neza mbahe no gukomera muri iki gihugu, nzabikora mbikuye ku mutima.

42 “Nk’uko nateje aba bantu ibi byago byose bikomeye, ni ko nzabaha ibyiza byose nabasezeranyije.

43 Muri iki gihugu muvuga ko ari ikidaturwa, ntikibemo abantu n’amatungo kuko cyagabijwe Abanyababiloniya, imirima izongera igurwe.

44 Imirima izagurwa ifeza, handikwe ibyemezo biterweho kashe, bigire abagabo bo kubihamya. Ibi bizakorwa mu ntara y’Ababenyamini no mu nsisiro zikikije Yeruzalemu, no mu mijyi y’u Buyuda n’iyo mu misozi miremire, n’iyo mu misozi migufi y’iburengerazuba no mu majyepfo, kuko nzatuma bagarura ubuyanja.” Uko ni ko Uhoraho avuze.

Andi masezerano y’ibyiringiro

1 Igihe Yeremiya yari akiri mu rugo rwa gereza, Uhoraho yongeye kuvugana na we.

2 Uhoraho waremye isi akayitunganya kandi akayishyira mu mwanya wayo aravuga ati:

3 “Ntabaza nzagutabara nkwereke ibintu bitangaje kandi bihishwe, utigeze umenya.

4 Koko rero ibi ni byo Uhoraho Imana y’Abisiraheli avuga ku byerekeye amazu yo muri uyu mujyi n’ingoro z’abami b’u Buyuda byashenywe, kugira ngo babone uko barwanya aburirira ku birundo by’ibitaka bitwaje inkota.

5 Bashatse kurwanya Abanyababiloniya, nyamara ibyo byatumye uyu mujyi wuzura imirambo y’abo nicishije uburakari bwanjye. Bityo uyu mujyi nywutera umugongo kubera ubugome bw’abawutuye.

6 “Nubwo bimeze bityo nzita kuri uyu mujyi n’abawutuye, nzabaha ubuzima kandi mbahe amahoro asesuye n’umutekano.

7 Nzagarura Abayuda n’Abisiraheli bajyanywe ho iminyago, nzabasubiza imibereho bahoranye.

8 Nzabahanaguraho ibyaha byose bankoreye kandi nzabababarira ibyaha byabo n’ubugome bwabo.

9 Yeruzalemu izatuma nezerwa, izampesha ikuzo n’icyubahiro mu mahanga yose yo ku isi. Ayo mahanga niyumva ibyiza byose nakoreye abatuye Yeruzalemu, azagira ubwoba ahinde umushyitsi bitewe n’amahoro mpaye uyu mujyi.”

10 Uhoraho aravuga ati: “Muravuga muti: ‘Aha hantu hameze nk’ikidaturwa, ntihaba abantu n’amatungo.’ Ni koko mu mijyi y’u Buyuda no mu mayira y’i Yeruzalemu ntiharangwa abantu n’amatungo, nyamara hazongera kumvikana

11 amajwi y’ibyishimo n’umunezero, n’amajwi y’umukwe n’ay’umugeni, n’amajwi y’abazana ibitambo byo kunshimira mu Ngoro yanjye baririmba bati:

‘Nimushimire Uhoraho Nyiringabo kuko agira neza,

koko imbabazi ze zihoraho iteka ryose.’

“Koko rero iki gihugu nzagisubiza imibereho cyahoranye.”

Uko ni ko Uhoraho avuze.

12 Uhoraho Nyiringabo aravuga ati: “Muri iki gihugu kimeze nk’ikidaturwa, ntikibemo abantu n’amatungo, kizongera kigire inzuri abashumba baragiramo imikumbi yabo.

13 Mu mijyi yubatswe mu misozi miremire no mu misozi migufi y’iburengerazuba, mu mijyi yo mu majyepfo no mu ntara y’Ababenyamini, mu nsisiro zikikije Yeruzalemu no mu mijyi y’u Buyuda, abashumba bazongera babare amatungo yabo.”

14 Uhoraho aravuga ati: “Igihe kizagera nsohoze Isezerano nagiriye Abisiraheli n’Abayuda.

15 Icyo gihe nzatoranya umwami w’intungane mu rubyaro rwa Dawidi, azaharanira ukuri n’ubutungane mu gihugu.

16 Icyo gihe u Buyuda buzarokoka na Yeruzalemu ibe mu mutekano. Yeruzalemu izahimbwa ngo ‘Uhoraho ni we Murengezi wacu.’ ”

17 Uhoraho aravuga ati: “Ntihazigera habura uwo mu rubyaro rwa Dawidi uzaba umwami w’Abisiraheli.

18 Ntihazabura kandi abatambyi bo muryango wa Levi, bazampora imbere batamba ibitambo bikongorwa n’umuriro, n’amaturo y’ibinyampeke n’ibindi bitambo bya buri munsi.”

19 Uhoraho abwira Yeremiya ati:

20 “Niba mudashobora kwica Isezerano nashyizeho ryerekeye ijoro n’amanywa ngo bitabaho nk’uko nabigennye,

21 ni na ko mudashobora kwica Isezerano nagiranye n’umugaragu wanjye Dawidi, ko hatazigera habura mu rubyaro rwe uzaba umwami, kandi ko mu muryango wa Levi hatazabura abatambyi bo kunkorera.

22 Nk’uko inyenyeri n’umusenyi wo ku nyanja bidashobora kubarurwa, ni na ko nzagwiza abakomoka ku mugaragu wanjye Dawidi n’umubare w’abatambyi bakomoka kuri Levi.”

23 Uhoraho abwira Yeremiya ati:

24 “Mbese wumvise ibyo aba bantu bavuga? Baravuga ngo natereranye Abisiraheli n’Abayuda, imiryango ibiri nitoranyirije. Basuzugura ubwoko bwanjye bakabafata nk’aho atari abantu.

25 Jyewe Uhoraho nagiranye Isezerano n’amanywa n’ijoro, nshyiraho n’amategeko agenga ijuru n’isi.

26 Nk’uko nakoze ibyo, ni na ko nzakomeza Isezerano nagiranye n’urubyaro rwa Yakobo n’urw’umugaragu wanjye Dawidi. Nzatoranya umwe wo mu rubyaro rwa Dawidi, kugira ngo ategeke abakomoka kuri Aburahamu na Izaki na Yakobo. Nzagarura abajyanywe ho iminyago mbagirire imbabazi.”

Ubutumwa bwagenewe Sedekiya

1 Nebukadinezari umwami wa Babiloniya n’ingabo ze zose, hamwe n’abantu bose bo mu bihugu n’amahanga yose yategekaga, n’ibihugu byose yatwaraga bateye Yeruzalemu n’imijyi yose iyikikije. Icyo gihe Uhoraho yabwiye Yeremiya ati:

2 “Genda ubwire Sedekiya umwami w’u Buyuda uti: ‘Jyewe Uhoraho Imana y’Abisiraheli, ngabije uyu mujyi umwami wa Babiloniya kugira ngo awutwike.

3 Nawe Sedekiya ntuzamuva mu nzara, ahubwo azagufata mpiri akujyane iwe. Muzavugana imbonankubone hanyuma ujyanwe i Babiloni.’

4 None rero wowe Sedekiya umwami w’u Buyuda, umva Ijambo ry’Uhoraho: Ntuzicishwa inkota

5 ahubwo uzisazira amahoro, woserezwe imibavu nka ba sokuruza, abami bakubanjirije ku ngoma. Abantu bazakuririra bavuga bati: ‘Mbega ishyano! Umwami wacu yapfuye.’ ” Uko ni ko Uhoraho avuze.

6 Nuko Yeremiya ageza ubwo butumwa kuri Sedekiya umwami w’u Buyuda i Yeruzalemu,

7 ubwo ingabo z’umwami wa Babiloniya zarwanyaga Yeruzalemu n’imijyi y’u Buyuda ari yo Lakishi na Azeka. Ni yo mijyi ikomeye yonyine yari isigaye mu Buyuda.

Ubwigenge bw’amafuti bwahawe inkoreragahato

8 Umwami Sedekiya yagiranye n’abantu b’i Yeruzalemu amasezerano yo guha inkoreragahato ubwigenge. Uhoraho abwira Yeremiya ati:

9 “Buri wese agomba guha ubwigenge Umuheburayi w’inkoreragahato y’umugore cyangwa umugabo uri iwe. Ntihakagire uhindura inkoreragahato umuvandimwe we w’Umuyuda.”

10 Nuko abayobozi bose na rubanda bari bagiranye ayo masezerano, bemeranywa kureka inkoreragahato z’abagabo cyangwa z’abagore ngo zishyire zizane.

11 Nyamara hanyuma bisubiraho barazigarura bongera kuzikoresha imirimo y’agahato.

12 Uhoraho yongera kubwira Yeremiya ati:

13 “Uku ni ko jyewe Uhoraho Imana y’Abisiraheli mvuze: Nagiranye Isezerano na ba sokuruza, mbakura mu Misiri aho bari inkoreragahato. Ndababwira nti:

14 ‘Buri mwaka wa karindwi, umuntu wese ajye aha ukwishyira ukizana umuvandimwe we w’Umuheburayi yagize inkoreragahato mu myaka itandatu. Nyamara ba sokuruza ntibanyumviye ngo babyiteho.

15 Icyakora vuba aha mwarihannye mukora ibinogeye, buri wese yemera guha umuvandimwe we ukwishyira akizana. Ayo masezerano mwayagiriye mu Ngoro yanjye.

16 Nyamara hanyuma mwisubiyeho murantukisha, maze murongera mugarura za nkoreragahato z’abagabo n’abagore mwari mwarahaye kwishyira bakizana mubakoresha agahato.’ ”

17 None rero Uhoraho aravuga ati: “Ntimwanyumviye ngo muhe abavandimwe banyu ukwishyira bakizana. Bityo mwebwe ngiye kubaha ukwishyira mukizana kubakwiye, ari ko kubateza inkota n’icyorezo n’inzara. Nzabagira akabarore imbere y’amahanga yose yo ku isi.

18 “Abantu bishe Isezerano ryanjye, ntibakurikiza amabwiriza yaryo bemereye imbere yanjye. Nzabagenza nk’inyana y’igitambo batemyemo kabiri bakanyura hagati y’ibyo bice byombi.

19 Abayobozi b’Abayuda na Yeruzalemu, n’ibyegera n’abatambyi n’abaturage bose, banyuze hagati y’ibice bibiri by’inyana,

20 nzabagabiza abanzi babo bashaka kubica. Imirambo yabo izaba ibyokurya by’ibisiga n’inyamaswa.

21 Sedekiya umwami w’u Buyuda n’ibyegera bye nzabagabiza abanzi babo bashaka kubica, ndetse nzabagabiza n’ingabo z’umwami wa Babiloniya zari zasubiye inyuma, zireka kubarwanya.

22 Dore ngiye kuzitegeka zigaruke kuri uyu mujyi, zizawurwanye ziwigarurire ziwutwike. Nzatsemba imijyi yo mu Buyuda isigare ari umusaka.” Uko ni ko Uhoraho avuze.

Yeremiya n’abakomoka kuri Rekabu

1 Yoyakimu mwene Yosiya umwami w’u Buyuda akiri ku ngoma, Uhoraho yabwiye Yeremiya ati:

2 “Jya ku Barekabu, ubazane ubashyire mu cyumba kimwe cy’Ingoro yanjye maze ubazimanire divayi.”

3 Ndagenda nzana Yāzaniya mwene Yeremiya mwene Habasiniya, nzana n’abavandimwe be bose n’abahungu be bose n’abandi b’umuryango wa Rekabu bose.

4 Mbageza ku Ngoro y’Uhoraho, mu cyumba cya bene Hanani mwene Igidaliya umuntu w’Imana. Icyo cyumba cyari iruhande rw’icy’abayobozi, kikaba no hejuru y’icya Māseya mwene Shalumu warindaga Ingoro.

5 Nuko nzana ibibindi byuzuye divayi, nzana n’ibikombe mbishyira imbere y’abo Barekabu ndababwira nti: “Ngiyo Divayi nimunywe.”

6 Nyamara baransubiza bati: “Ntabwo tunywa inzoga, kuko sogokuruza Yonadabu mwene Rekabu yadutegetse ati: ‘Mwebwe n’abazabakomokaho ntimuzigera munywa inzoga.

7 Ntimuzubake amazu, ntimuzabibe imbuto cyangwa ngo muhinge imizabibu. Ntimugomba gukora ibyo byose ahubwo muzabe mu mahema igihe cyose muzabaho. Bityo muzaramira mu gihugu murimo nk’abimukira.’

8 Nuko rero twumviye ibyo sogokuruza Yonadabu mwene Rekabu yadutegetse byose. Ntitunywa inzoga twebwe n’abagore bacu n’abahungu bacu n’abakobwa bacu.

9 Ntitwubaka amazu, nta mizabibu cyangwa imirima tugira, ntitubiba n’imbuto.

10 Twibera mu mahema, twumviye ibyo sogokuruza Yonadabu yadutegetse.

11 Nyamara igihe Nebukadinezari umwami wa Babiloniya yateraga iki gihugu twaravuze tuti: ‘Reka twigire i Yeruzalemu duhunge ingabo z’Abanyababiloniya n’iz’Abanyasiriya.’ Ni yo mpamvu dutuye i Yeruzalemu.”

12-13 Nuko Uhoraho abwira Yeremiya ati: “Genda ubwire abantu bo mu Buyuda n’ab’i Yeruzalemu ko jyewe Uhoraho Nyiringabo Imana y’Abisiraheli mvuze nti: ‘Mbese mwebwe ntimushobora kumva inyigisho mbaha ngo muzikurikize?

14 Itegeko ryo kutanywa divayi Yonadabu mwene Rekabu yahaye abana be bararikurikije. Kugeza n’uyu munsi ntabwo banywa divayi kubera ko bumviye itegeko rya sekuruza. Nyamara jye sinahwemye kuvugana namwe, ariko ntimwigeze mwita ku byo mbabwira.

15 Sinahwemye kubatumaho abagaragu banjye b’abahanuzi, ngo babwire buri wese muri mwe areke imigenzereze ye mibi, avugurure imikorere ye, areke kuyoboka izindi mana. Nimugenza mutyo muzatura mu gihugu nabahaye, mwebwe na ba sokuruza. Nyamara ntimwigeze mubyitaho ngo munyumvire.

16 Bene Yonadabu mwene Rekabu bumviye icyo sekuruza yabategetse, nyamara mwebwe ntimwanyumviye.’

17 Ni cyo gituma Uhoraho Nyiringabo Imana y’Abisiraheli avuga ati: ‘Dore ngiye guteza abantu bo mu Buyuda n’ab’i Yeruzalemu ibyago byose nagambiriye, kubera ko nababwiye bakica amatwi, nabahamagara bakaninira.’ ”

18 Nuko Yeremiya abwira abakomoka kuri Rekabu ati: “Uhoraho Nyiringabo Imana y’Abisiraheli aravuze ati: ‘Kubera ko mwumviye itegeko rya sokuruza Yonadabu mugakomeza amabwiriza ye, kandi mugakora ibyo yabategetse byose,

19 Uhoraho Nyiringabo Imana y’Abisiraheli aravuze ngo Yonadabu mwene Rekabu ntazabura umwe mu bamukomokaho uzanyoboka iteka ryose.’ ”
