5 Yeremiya asanayankhe, Nebuzaradani anamuwuzanso kuti, “Ngati supita ndiye pita, ubwerere kwa Gedaliya, mwana wa Ahikamu, mdzukulu wa Safani, amene mfumu ya ku Babuloni inamusankha kuti akhale bwanamkubwa wa Yuda. Ukakhale naye pakati pa anthu, kapena upite kulikonse ukufuna.” Ndipo mtsogoleri uja anamupatsa Yeremiya chakudya ndi mphatso zina ndi kumulola kuti apite.

Hagi anante Safani negeho ne' Ahikamu nemofo Gedalia'a ana kva vahe'ene, zamagranema vu'naza vahera amanage huno huvempa huno zamasami'ne.
