Nimba vyiza kuza kumwe nanje i Babiloni, ingo nzokwitwararika. Ariko nimba bitari vyiza, uze: ehe igihugu cose kiri imbere yawe; genda aho vyose uzobona ko bikwiye.” 5Imbere y’uko Yeremiya agenda, Nebuzaradani aravuga ati: “Subira kuri Gedaliya mwene Ahikamu, mwene Shafani, uwo umwami wa Babiloni yashinze ibisagara vya Yuda, ube kumwe na we mu bantu, canke ugende aho vyose ubona ko vyiza.” Maze umukuru w’abarinzi aramuha ivyo kurya n’ingabire, aramurekura.
6Nuko Yeremiya aja kuri Gedaliya mwene Ahikamu i Misipa, aba kumwe na we mu bari basigaye mu gihugu.

7Abakuru bose b’ingabo bari mu gahinga n’abantu babo bumvise yuko umwami wa Babiloni yashize Gedaliya mwene Ahikamu kuba umukuru w’igihugu, amushinga abagabo n’abagore n’abana, ari bo bakene b’igihugu batari banyagiwe i Babiloni. 8Kuri Gedaliya i Misipa haza: Ishimayeli mwene Netaniya, na Yohanani na Yonatani bene Kareya, na Seraya mwene Tanhumeti, na bene Efayi w’Umunetofati, na Yezaniya mwene Umumaakati, bo n’abantu babo. 9Gedaliya mwene Ahikamu, mwene Shafani, arabarahira bo n’abantu babo ati: “Ntimutinye gukorera Ababiloni. Mube mu gihugu, mukorere umwami wa Babiloni, muzoba mu mahoro. b b v9 Mu giheburayo: Abakaludaya — hano bisobanura abategetsi n’abasoda b’Ababiloni. 10Jewe nzoguma i Misipa, kugira ngo mbaserukire imbere y’Ababiloni baza iwacu. Ariko mwebwe nimukoranye vino n’ivyamwa vyo mu ci n’amavuta, mubishire mu nkono zanyu, mube mu bisagara mwafashe.”
11Abayuda bose bari muri Mowabu, no muri Amoni, no muri Edomu, no mu bihugu vyose, na bo nyene bumvise yuko umwami wa Babiloni yasize abasigaye muri Yuda, akabashinga Gedaliya mwene Ahikamu, mwene Shafani. 12Abayuda bose basubira bava aho vyose bari basanzaye, baza kuri Gedaliya i Misipa muri Yuda, bakoranya vino nyinshi n’ivyamwa vyo mu ci.
13Yohanani mwene Kareya n’abakuru bose b’ingabo bari mu gahinga baza kuri Gedaliya i Misipa, 14baramubwira bati: “None ntuzi yuko Baalisi umwami wa Amoni yarungitse Ishimayeli mwene Netaniya kugira ngo akwice?” Ariko Gedaliya mwene Ahikamu ntiyabemera.
15Maze Yohanani mwene Kareya abwira Gedaliya rwihishwa i Misipa ati: “Reka nice Ishimayeli mwene Netaniya, nta muntu azobimenya. Kubera iki womureka ngo akwice, maze Abayuda bose bakoranye kuri wewe bagasanzara, abasigaye muri Yuda bakaba ari bo barandura?”
16Ariko Gedaliya mwene Ahikamu abwira Yohanani mwene Kareya ati: “Ntugakore iki kintu; uriko urabesha ku vyerekeye Ishimayeli.”
