Yeremiya 37 - Kinyarwanda Bibiliya Ntagatifu

Sedekiya agisha inama Yeremiya

¹ Sedekiya mwene Yoziya, yasimbuye Koniyahu mwene Yoyakimu ku ntebe y’ubwami, ari we Nebukadinetsari, umwami w’i Babiloni, yari yarimitse mu gihugu cya Yuda.

² Ariko, ari we, ari abagaragu be, ari n’abaturage b’icyo gihugu, bari barimye amatwi amagambo Uhoraho yavuze yifashishije umuhanuzi Yeremiya wari waratorewe uwo murimo.

³ Umwami Sedekiya yohereza Yukali mwene Shelemiya n’umuherezabitambo Sefaniyahu mwene Maseya, abatuma kuri Yeremiya kumubwira bati «Ndakwinginze, dutakambire kuri Uhoraho Imana yacu!»

⁴ Icyo gihe Yeremiya yarishyiraga akizana mu muryango we; yari atarafungwa.

⁵ Icyo gihe, ingabo za Farawo zari zihagurutse mu Misiri; nuko Abakalideya bari bagose Yeruzalemu, bamenye iyo nkuru, bajya kubatanga imbere.

⁶ Uhoraho ni ko kubwira umuhanuzi Yeremiya, ati

⁷ «Uhoraho, Imana ya Israheli avuze atya: Umwami wa Yuda wabohereje ngo mungishe inama, muzamubwire muti ’Ingabo za Farawo zahagurutse mu Misiri zije kubatabara, zizasubira mu gihugu cyazo cya Misiri.

⁸ Abakalideya bazagaruka gutera uyu mugi, bawufate maze bawutwike.

⁹ Uhoraho avuze atya: «Ntimwibeshye mukeka ko Abakalideya bavuye iwanyu ubutazagaruka; nta ho bagiye.

¹⁰ N’iyo mwaba mwatsembye ingabo z’Abakalideya zibugarije, inkomere zarokoka zava mu mahema yazo, zigatwika uyu mugi.’»

Yeremiya aregwa kuba umugambanyi

¹¹ Igihe ingabo z’Abakalideya zavaga mu mugi wa Yeruzalemu zikanze iza Farawo,

¹² Yeremiya yasohotse i Yeruzalemu ashaka kujya mu gihugu cya Benyamini, azinduwe no guhabwa umunani mu muryango we.

¹³ Ageze ku irembo rya Benyamini, ahasanga umutware w’abarinzi witwaga Yiriya mwene Shelemiya wa Hananiya. Uwo murinzi yataye muri yombi umuhanuzi Yeremiya, agira ati «Ugiye mu Bakalideya!»

¹⁴ Yeremiya arasubiza ati «Urabeshya, singiye mu Bakalideya!» Nyamara ariko Yiriya ntiyashaka kumwumva, ahubwo aramufata amujyana imbere y’abatware.

¹⁵ Abo batware baramurakarira, baramukubita, maze bamufungira mu nzu y’umunyamabanga Yehonatani yari yarahinduwemo uburoko.

¹⁶ Ubwo rero Yeremiya afungirwa mu nzu iri hasi y’izindi, amaramo igihe kirekire.

Sedekiya abonana na Yeremiya mu ibanga

¹⁷ Hanyuma, umwami Sedekiya ategeka ko bamumuzanira. Nuko amujyana iwe rwihishwa, aramubaza ati «Hari ijambo Uhoraho yakubwiye?» Yeremiya arasubiza ati «Rirahari», ndetse yongeraho ati «Ugiye kuzatabwa mu maboko y’umwami w’i Babiloni.»

¹⁸ Yeremiya arongera abwira Sedekiya, ati «Ni ikihe cyaha nagukoreye wowe, n’abagaragu bawe, n’umuryango wawe, kugira ngo mube mwarandoshye mu buroko?

¹⁹ Ese ba bahanuzi banyu bari he, bamwe bababwiraga ko mwebwe n’igihugu cyanyu mutagomba kwikanga igitero cy’umwami w’i Babiloni?

²⁰ None rero, mwami, mutegetsi wanjye, wumve neza icyo ngusaba: ntunsubize mu nzu y’umunyamabanga Yehonatani, ntava aho mpapfira.»

²¹ Umwami Sedekiya ategeka ko bafungira Yeremiya mu gikari cy’inzu y’imbohe, kandi bakajya buri munsi bamuha umugati uguzwe ku muhanda w’abayikora; kugeza ubwo imigati izashira mu mugi. Nguko uko Yeremiya yagumye mu gikari cy’imbohe.
