Data wa twese atuza binyuze kuri Yeremiya

Ingabo za Egiputa zikwegera Abanyababuloni kure, Yerusalemu ikagira icizere; Yeremiya azana ijambo rya Data rivuga ko bazogaruka bakaturira igisagara. Agiye mu vy'umuryango wiwe, afatwa nk'uwuhunze, arakubitwa, ashirwa mw'ibohero. Sedekiya amubaza mu bwihisho ijambo, aronka iriremereye, maze amuha umukate.

Igice 37.

Zedekiya mwene Yosiya yarimye mu cibare ca Koniya mwene Yehoyakimu, uwo Nebukadineza umwami wa Babeli yashinze kuba umwami mu gihugu ca Yuda. Ariko nta na rimwe we, abasavyi biwe canke abantu bo mu gihugu baumviye amajambo ya Data wa twese yavuzwe biciye kuri Yeremiya umuhanuzi.

Umwami Zedekiya yarungitse Yehukali mwene Shelemiya na Zefaniya mwene Mahaseya umuherezi kuri Yeremiya umuhanuzi, ati: “Ndakwinginze, dusabire kuri Data wa twese.”

Icambere Yeremiya yaraguma aza akagenda mu bantu; barumwe bari baramushize mu munyororo. Ingabo za Farawo zari zivuye muri Misiri ziriko ziragenda; aho Abanyababeli bari bagose Yeruzalemu babivyumvise, bakuyeyo urugamba kuri Yeruzalemu.

Nuko ijambo rya Data wa twese riza kuri Yeremiya umuhanuzi, riti:

Ni ko Data wa twese, Data wa Isirayeli, avuze: Mubwire umwami wa Yuda yabarungitse kumbaza, muti: Ingabo za Farawo zasohotse kuza kugufasha zisubira i muhira muri Misiri. Maze Abanyababeli bazogaruka barwanye uwu mugi, bawufate, bawuturire.

Ni ko Data wa twese avuze: Ntimwishuke, muvuga muti: “Ata nkeka Abanyababeli bazoduheba”—ntibazoduheba. Naho mwotikiza ingabo zose z’Abanyababeli bariko barabarwanya, hagasigara gusa abanyagikomere mu mahema yabo, bosubira kuva hasi, bakaturira uwu mugi.

Yeremiya arafatwa agashirwa mu munyororo

Nuko aho ingabo z’Abanyababeli zakuriye urugamba kuri Yeruzalemu kubera ingabo za Farawo, Yeremiya ava i Yeruzalemu aja mu gihugu ca Benyamini kugira ngo ahasabire umugabane wiwe mu bantu. Ku Rembo rya Benyamini, umukuru w’abarinzi yitwa Iriya mwene Shelemiya mwene Hananiya yarafashe Yeremiya umuhanuzi, ati: “Uriko uritanga ku Banyababeli!”

Yeremiya arishura ati: “Ni ikinyoma! Sindiko nitanga ku Banyababeli.” Ariko Iriya ntiyamwumvirije, araheza afata Yeremiya, amujana ku bakuru.

Abakuru barashavuriye Yeremiya, baramukubita, bamushira mu munyororo mu nzu ya Yonatani umwanditsi, yari yagizwe igereza.

Nuko Yeremiya yinjira mu tubari tw’ikuzimu ry’igereza, aho asigara imisi myinshi. Maze umwami Zedekiya aramurungikira, amusohoza. Umwami aramubaza mu mpisho mu ngoro, aramubaza ati: “Hari ijambo rivuye kuri Data wa twese?” Yeremiya ati: “Hariho.” Ati: “Uzoshirwa mu minwe y’umwami wa Babeli.”

Yeremiya abaza umwami Zedekiya ati: “Ni igiki nagucumuyeko, wewe canke abasavyi bawe canke aba bantu, ngo umushire mu munyororo? Baherahe bari hehe abahanuzi bawe bahanuye bati: ‘Umwami wa Babeli ntazobazako canke iki gihugu’? Ndakwinginze numve, mwami wanje: nyenimburira ryanje rigushikire—ntunsubize mu nzu ya Yonatani umwanditsi, kuko hamwe nopfira.”

Umwami Zedekiya aratanga itegeko, maze bashira Yeremiya mu kigo c’abarinzi, baramuha umukate umwe ku musi uvuye mu barabara w’ababoreza, gushika umukate wo mu mugi wahera. Nuko Yeremiya aguma mu kigo c’abarinzi.
