¹ Ishi umwana wa Yosia atabhala nishi ufalme badala ya Yehoyachin umwana wa Yehoyakimu. Nebukadreza ufalme wa Babeli ali abhombile Sedekia ufalme pamwanya ya pazhi ya Yuda. ² Lelo Sedekia, ajakazi bhakwe na bhanthu abhi nthi sagabhatejelezya inonga zya Yahwe ambayo atangazizye hukhono gwa Yeremia ukuwa. ³ Ishi ufalme wa Sedekia, Yehukali umwana wa Shelemia, na Zefania umwana Maasela udimi ahatuma ujumbe wa Yeremia ukuwa. Bhayanjile, "Labha kwajiil yabho wa Yahwe Ungulubhi witu." ⁴ Ishi Yeremia ali awinza nabhale miononi mwa bhathu, pipo ali bado haga abhiwele muhati mwijela. ⁵ Asikali bha Farao bhafumile Misri, na akaldayo bhaguzyungula Yerusalemu bhahuvha ibahari ahusu abhene na shile Yerusalemu. ⁶ Ishi izyo lya Yahwe lyahenza wa Yeremia ukuwa na yanje, ⁷ "Yahwe, Ungulubhi wa Israeli, ayanga ishi: Ishi sha shisho ubhayanje a falme wa Yuda, kwa sababu yu watumile awe awanze ubhushari afume hulini, 'Enya, asikali bha Farao, ambalya henzele awavhe, lilitayali abhuye hu Misri, hunthi yao. ⁸ Wakaldayo bhaibhuya. Bhaikhomana juu yi mji uguu, aguteke, na pembe.' ⁹ Yahwe ayanga ishi: Mnganda khopelane nayanje, "Lyoli Wakaldayo bhatuleha ante,' pipo saaabhatuleha. ¹⁰ Hata kama mubhashindile asikali bha wa Wakaldayo bhundti ambao bhakhoma na namwe huje bhalume abha vhalile bhasagile mahema gao, hangabha wenzi zywe anyanyushe nagupembe umji ugu." ¹¹ Basi wali wakati asikali Bhakaldayo pabha shilile hu Yerusalemu wakati asikali bha Farao bho lyabhanga li winza, ¹² ipo uYeremia ahabhala afume uYerusalemu abhale huthi ya Benjamini. Ahanzaga amiliki idala linthi uwo miongoni mwabhandhu bhakwe. ¹³ Kama nishi pahali kati yi lyango gwa Benjamini, ugula ugosi uwa hali ipo. Itawa lyakwe Yeremia umwana wa Shelemia umwana wa Hanania. Akhata wa hu nyagule Yeremia ukuwa nayanje, " Mufumile hu jangwani Wakaldayo." ¹⁴ Lelo uYeremia ayanga, "Iyo saga lyoli. Saga ibhala hu jangawani Wakaldayo." Lelo Yeremia haahatejelezya. Ahamwega uYeremia nahulete wa maafisa. ¹⁵ Maafisa bhali bhavhitililye uYeremia bhakhomile na hubhishe mwijela, ambayo ihali nyumba ya Yonathani usimbi, pipo bhagaluzinye abheshe lijela. ¹⁶ Kwa hiyo uYeremia ali abhe we lye mushi fumgo ishi nthi, ambae ali hwuhwo insiku zinyinji. ¹⁷ Ipo afume uSedekia ahatuma umuthu umo uwaletile hu ikuluu. Hu nyumba yakwe, ufalme abhuzizye binafsi, "Huli neno: Uzaponyezewe mukhono gwa falme wa Babeli." ¹⁸ Ipo Yeremia ayanga wafalme Sedekia, "Uli na maana bhuli intendile idhambe, umujakazi waho, au abhandhu ibha huje umbishe mwijela? ¹⁹ Bhali wii akuwa bhaho, bhala abhakuwilye kwajili yaliwe nayanje ufalme wa Babeli haga abha winze juu liwe au juu yinthi ene? ²⁰ Lakini ishi uvha, bwana wane mfalme! Leha iombi lyane libhe witanzi lyaho. Unganda ambuyile ane winyumba Yonathani usimbi, au imbafye uwo." ²¹ Kwa hiyo ufalme Sedekia ahafumya iamri. Wajakazi wakwe bhabhishila iphaha uYeremia kati ya uwanja wa gola bhahapanga ikate shila siku afume hu mtaa abha kalanga amakate, mpaka ukate gwunti hu njini gwa maliha. Basi Yeremia asangele.
