21 1Iri ni ijambo ryashikiye Yeremiya rivuye kuri Data, igihe Umwami Zedekiya yamutumaho Pashuri mwene Malikiya na Zefaniya umuherezi, mwene Mahaseya, ati: 2“Turabinginga, dusabire kuri Data, kuko Nebukadinezari umwami wa Babeli aduteye intambara. Kumbure Data azodukorera nk’ibitangaza vyiwe vyose, kugira ngo umwansi aduhunge.”
3Nuko Yeremiya ababwira ati: “Mubwire Zedekiya muti:
4Data wa Isirayeli avuga atya ati: ‘Ngira ndasubize inyuma ibirwanisho biri mu maboko yanyu, ivyo mukoresha mu kurwanya umwami wa Babeli na Babeli babagose hanze y’uruhome, maze ndabikoranirize hagati muri iki gisagara. 5Jewe nyene nzobarwanya n’ukuboko kwaguwe n’ukuboko gukomeye, mu bushavu, mu burake, no mu gishavu kinini. 6Nzokubita ababa muri iki gisagara, abantu n’ibikoko; bazopfa icago kinini. 7Inyuma y’ivyo, ni ko Data avuga, nzoshikiriza Zedekiya umwami wa Yuda n’abasavyi biwe n’abantu bari muri iki gisagara basigaye kw’icago no ku nkota no ku nzara, mu maboko ya Nebukadinezari umwami wa Babeli, mu maboko y’abansi babo bashaka kubakura ubuzima. Azobakubita inkota—ata kigongwe, ata kubarindira, ata mbabazi.’
8Ubwire aba bantu uti: Data avuga atya ati: Ngira ndabashize imbere inzira y’ubuzima n’inzira y’urupfu. 9Uwuzosigara muri iki gisagara azopfa inkota n’inzara n’icago; mugabo uwuzokwemera agende aje ku Babeli babagose azobaho, akize ubuzima bwiwe nk’iminyago. 10Nahindukirije mu maso hanje kuri iki gisagara kugira ngo kibone inabi, atari ineza, ni ko Data avuga. Kizoshikirizwa umwami wa Babeli, uwuzogiturira umuriro.
Ijambo rya Data ryerekeye inzu ya Dawidi
11Ubwire inzu y’umwami ya Yuda uti: Niwumvirize ijambo rya Data.
12Yemwe inzu ya Dawidi, Data avuga atya ati: Nimucire imanza mu kugororoka ku makya yose, mubohore uwanyazwe mu kuboko kw’umumuhahaza, kugira ngo ubushavu bwanje ntibururumbe nk’umuriro, buke ata muntu azoshobora kubuzimya, kubera ingeso zanyu mbi. 13Ehe, ndakubereye umwansi, wewe uba hejuru y’umwaba, wewe gitandara co mu kiyaya, ni ko Data avuga—wewe uvuga uti: “Ni nde ashobora kutumanukira? Ni nde ashobora kwinjira mu mazu yacu?” a a v13 Yeruzalemu yari iri ku mutumba muremure hejuru y’imyaba yagikikuje, ivyo bikaha abantu bayo icizigiro c’ikinyoma yuko ico gisagara kidashobora guterwa. 14Nzobahana nk’uko ingeso zanyu zibikwiriye, ni ko Data avuga. Nzodomeka umuriro mu ishamba ryayo, maze ugurumane ibimukikuje vyose.”
