1 Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ĩrĩa yakinyĩrĩire Jeremia yumĩte kũrĩ Jehova thuutha wa Nebuzaradani ũcio mũnene wa arangĩri a mũthamaki kũmũrekereria oime kũu Rama. Nĩakorete Jeremia arĩ muohe na mĩnyororo arĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ arĩa othe maatahĩtwo kuuma Jerusalemu na Juda rĩrĩa maatwaragwo Babuloni marĩ ohe.
Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Yeremiya, nga Nebuzaladaani omuduumizi w’abambowa amusumuludde e Laama, bwe yamusanga ng’asibiddwa mu masamba n’abasibe abalala bonna ab’e Yerusaalemi ne Yuda abaali batwalibwa e Babulooni mu busibe.
2 Nake mũnene ũcio wa arangĩri a mũthamaki oona Jeremia, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Jehova Ngai waku nĩwe watuĩrĩire kũndũ gũkũ mwanangĩko ũyũ.
Omuduumizi w’abaserikale yatwala Yeremiya n’amugamba nti, “Mukama Katonda wo, ye yaleeta ekivume kino ku kifo kino.
3 Na rĩu-rĩ, Jehova nĩatũmĩte gwĩkĩke ũguo; ekĩte o ta ũrĩa oigire. Maũndũ maya mothe meekĩkĩte nĩ ũndũ inyuĩ andũ aya nĩmwehĩirie Jehova na mũkĩaga kũmwathĩkĩra.
Kaakano Mukama akireese era akikoze nga bwe yasuubiza. Bino byonna byabaawo kubanga abantu bo baasobya eri Mukama ne batamugondera.
4 No rĩrĩ, ũmũthĩ nĩngũkuohora mĩnyororo ĩno ũrĩ nayo moko. Ũka tũthiĩ nawe Babuloni, akorwo nĩũkwenda, na niĩ nĩndĩkũmenyagĩrĩra; no ũngĩkorwo ndũkwenda tũthiĩ nawe, tiga gũũka. Atĩrĩrĩ, bũrũri ũyũ wothe ũrĩ mbere yaku; thiĩ o harĩa hothe ũngĩenda.”
Naye leero nkusumulula okuva mu njegere ez’oku mikono gyo. Jjangu tugende ffembi e Babulooni obanga oyagala, nnaakulabirira; naye bw’oba nga toyagala, tojja. Laba, ensi yonna eri mu maaso go, genda yonna gy’oyagala.”
5 No rĩrĩ, Jeremia atanagarũrũka acooke-rĩ, Nebuzaradani akĩmwarĩria rĩngĩ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Cooka kũrĩ Gedalia mũrũ wa Ahikamu, mũrũ wa Shafani, ũrĩa mũthamaki wa Babuloni atuĩte mũrũgamĩrĩri wa matũũra ma Juda, mũgatũũre nake kũu hamwe na andũ arĩa angĩ, kana ũgĩthiĩ o harĩa hangĩ hothe ũngĩenda.” Ningĩ mũnene ũcio wa arangĩri akĩmũhe irio, o na akĩmũhe kĩheo, akĩreka ethiĩre.
Wabula Yeremiya nga tannaba kukyuka kugenda, Nebuzaladaani n’ayongerako nti, “Ddayo eri Gedaliya mutabani wa Akikamu mutabani wa Safani, kabaka w’e Babulooni gw’afudde Gavana w’ebibuga bya Yuda, obeere naye mu bantu, oba genda yonna gy’osiima okubeera.” Awo omuduumizi w’abambowa n’amuwa ebyokulya n’ekirabo n’amuleka.
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jeremia agĩthiĩ kũrĩ Gedalia, mũrũ wa Ahikamu kũu Mizipa, magĩtũũra nake gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ acio angĩ maatigĩtwo bũrũri-inĩ ũcio.
Awo Yeremiya n’agenda ewa Gedaliya mutabani wa Akikamu e Mizupa n’abeera naye n’abantu abaaliyo abaali balekeddwa mu nsi eyo.
7 Rĩrĩa anene othe a mbũtũ cia ita na andũ ao arĩa maarĩ kũu bũrũri-inĩ ũcio mwaraganu maiguire atĩ mũthamaki wa Babuloni nĩatuĩte Gedalia mũrũ wa Ahikamu barũthi wa bũrũri ũcio, na atĩ nĩamũtuĩte mũrũgamĩrĩri wa arũme, na andũ-a-nja, na ciana, o acio maarĩ athĩĩni mũno kũu bũrũri ũcio, arĩa mataatahirwo matwarwo Babuloni-rĩ,
Awo abakulu b’eggye lya Yuda bonna n’abasajja baabwe abaali bakyali mu byalo ne bawulira nti, Kabaka w’e Babulooni alonze Gedaliya omwana wa Akikamu okuba Gavana w’ensi era ng’amuwadde obuvunaanyizibwa bw’abantu bonna, abasajja, n’abakazi, n’abaana, n’abaali basembayo obwavu mu nsi abataatwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse e Babulooni.
8 magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Gedalia kũu Mizipa: nao maarĩ Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania, na Johanani na Jonathani ariũ a Karea, na Seraia mũrũ wa Tanihumethu, na ariũ a Efai ũrĩa Mũnetofathi, na Jaazania mũrũ wa Mũmaakathi, marĩ na andũ ao.
Awo Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya, ne Yokanaani ne Yonasaani batabani ba Kaleya, ne Seraya mutabani wa Tanukumesi, ne batabani ba Efayi Omunetofa, ne Yezaniya omwana w’omu Maakasi, ne bagenda n’abasajja baabwe eri Gedaliya e Mizupa.
9 Gedalia mũrũ wa Ahikamu, mũrũ wa Shafani akĩĩhĩta nĩguo amatĩtĩrithie marĩ hamwe na andũ ao, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Tigai gwĩtigĩra gũtungatĩra andũ aya a Babuloni. Tũũrai bũrũri ũyũ na mũtungatage mũthamaki wa Babuloni, na nĩmũrĩonaga maũndũ mega.
Awo Gedaliya mutabani wa Akikamu mutabani wa Safani n’abalayirira bo n’abasajja baabwe ng’ayogera nti, “Temutya kuweereza Bakaludaaya. Mubeere mu nsi, muweereze kabaka w’e Babulooni munaaba bulungi.
10 Niĩ mwene nĩngũtũũra gũkũ Mizipa nĩgeetha ndĩmwaragĩrĩrie kũrĩ andũ a Babuloni arĩa marĩũkaga kũrĩ ithuĩ, no inyuĩ-rĩ, thondekai ndibei, na mũgethage matunda ma hĩndĩ ya riũa, o na maguta, mwĩigĩre ndigithũ-inĩ cianyu cia mũthiithũ, na mũtũũre matũũra-inĩ marĩa mwĩnyiitĩire.”
Nze kennyini nzija kusigala e Mizupa okubakiikirira eri Abakaludaaya abajja gye tuli, naye mmwe mukungule emizabbibu, n’ebibala eby’omu kyeya, mukuŋŋaanye n’omuzigo mubiteeke mu materekero gammwe, mubeere mu bibuga bye mufuga.”
11 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Ayahudi arĩa othe maarĩ Moabi, na Amoni, na arĩa maarĩ Edomu, o na arĩa maarĩ mabũrũri marĩa mangĩ mothe maiguire atĩ mũthamaki wa Babuloni nĩatigĩtie matigari kũu Juda, na atĩ nĩatuĩte Gedalia mũrũ wa Ahikamu, mũrũ wa Shafani, barũthi wao-rĩ,
Awo Abayudaaya bonna mu Mowaabu, ne Amoni, ne Edomu n’ensi endala zonna bwe baawulira nti, Kabaka w’e Babulooni yali aleseeyo abantu mu Yuda era nga ataddewo Gedaliya mutabani wa Akikamu, mutabani wa Safani okuba Gavana waabwe,
12 othe magĩcooka bũrũri wa Juda kũrĩ Gedalia kũu Mizipa, moimĩte mabũrũri-inĩ mothe marĩa maahurunjũkĩire. Nao magĩĩthondekera ndibei nyingĩ, o na makĩgetha matunda maingĩ ma hĩndĩ ya riũa.
bonna ne bakomawo mu nsi ya Yuda eri Gedaliya e Mizupa, ne bava mu nsi zonna gye baali basaasaanidde. Ne bakungula ebirime mu bungi, emizabbibu n’ebibala eby’omu kyeya.
13 Johanani mũrũ wa Karea, marĩ na anene othe a mbũtũ cia ita arĩa maarĩ o kũu bũrũri ũcio mwaraganu, magĩũka kũrĩ Gedalia kũu Mizipa,
Awo Yokanaani mutabani wa Kaleya n’abakulu bonna ab’ebibinja bya magye abaali mu byalo ne bajja eri Gedaliya e Mizupa.
14 nao makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ ũtamenyete atĩ Balisi mũthamaki wa andũ a Amoni nĩatũmĩte Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania oke akũrute muoyo?” No Gedalia mũrũ wa Ahikamu ndaametĩkirie.
Ne bamugamba nti, “Tomanyi nga Baalisi kabaka w’abaana ba Amoni atumye Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya okukutta?” Naye Gedaliya mutabani wa Akikamu teyakikkiriza.
15 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Johanani mũrũ wa Karea akĩarĩria Gedalia na hitho marĩ kũu Mizipa, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Njĩtĩkĩria thiĩ ngoorage Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkũmenya ũhoro ũcio. Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma ende gũkũruta muoyo, nĩguo atũme Ayahudi aya othe mecookanĩrĩirie harĩwe mahurunjũke, namo matigari ma Juda mathire biũ?”
Awo Yokanaani mutabani wa Kaleya n’ayogera ne Gedaliya e Mizupa kyama ng’agamba nti, “Ka ŋŋende nkwegayiridde nzite Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya, so tewaliba muntu alikimanya. Lwaki akutta, Abayudaaya bonna abakuŋŋaanidde gy’oli basaasaane, ekitundu kya Yuda ekifisseewo nakyo kizikirire?”
16 Nowe Gedalia mũrũ wa Ahikamu akĩĩra Johanani mũrũ wa Karea atĩrĩ, “Ndũkae gwĩka ũndũ ta ũcio! Ũhoro ũcio ũraaria ũkoniĩ Ishumaeli ti wa ma.”
Naye Gedaliya mutabani wa Akikamu n’agamba Yokanaani mutabani wa Kaleya nti, “Tokola kintu bwe kityo! Ky’oyogera ku Isimayiri si kituufu.”
