Zeremaia 37
1 Hagi Babiloni kini ne' Nebukatnesa'a, Jehoiakimi nemofo Jehoiakinina mago agi'a Koniakino agri no erino Juda vahe kini manisiegu huno, Josaia nemofo Zedekaiana kinia azeri oti'ne.
Sedekia mwana wa Yosia akafanywa kuwa mfalme wa Yuda na Nebukadneza mfalme wa Babeli, naye akatawala mahali pa Yehoyakini mwana wa Yehoyakimu.
2 Hagi Zedekaia'ene eri'za vahe'amo'zane ana maka vahemo'zanena Ra Anumzamo'ma asamigeno kasnampa ne' Jeremaia'ma hia nanekea ontahitfa hu'naze.
Lakini sio Sedekia, wala watumishi wake, wala watu wa nchi walisikiliza maneno ya Bwana aliyonena kupitia kwa nabii Yeremia.
3 Hagi kini ne' Zedekaia'a mago zupa Selemia nemofo Jehukaline Ma'aseia nemofo pristi ne' Zefanianena huznanteno, kasnampa ne' Jeremaiana amanage huta ome asami'o. Muse hugantoanki Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamofontega nunamu hugeno taza hino huta ome asami'o.
Hata hivyo, Mfalme Sedekia akamtuma Yehukali mwana wa Shelemia, pamoja na kuhani Sefania mwana wa Maaseya kwa nabii Yeremia na ujumbe huu: “Tafadhali utuombee kwa Bwana, Mungu wetu.”
4 Hagi Jeremaia'a fru huno mani'neno agra avesite vahepina vuno eno nehuno mani'ne. Na'ankure agrira ana knafina kina huonte'nageno anara hu'ne.
Wakati huu Yeremia alikuwa huru kuingia na kutoka katikati ya watu, kwa sababu alikuwa bado hajatiwa gerezani.
5 Hagi ana knafinena Fero sondia vahe'mo'zama Isipima atre'za karankama neazema nehaza nanekema, Jerusalemi kuma'ma eme avazagi kagi'zama mani'naza Kaldia vahe'mo'zama nentahiza, Jerusalemi kumara atre'za vu'naze.
Jeshi la Farao lilikuwa limetoka Misri, nao Wakaldayo waliokuwa wameuzunguka Yerusalemu kwa majeshi waliposikia taarifa kuhusu jeshi hilo walijiondoa Yerusalemu.
6 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a kasnampa ne' Jeremaiana asamino,
Ndipo neno la Bwana likamjia nabii Yeremia kusema:
7 Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a amanage hie hunka, Juda kini ne'mo'ma Nagri navesi'zama keno eri fore hunaku'ma huzmante'sanige'zama esaza vahera amanage hunka zamasamio. Antahiho! Fero sondia vahe'mo'zama tamaza hunaku'ma aza vahe'mo'za ete rukrahe hu'za mopa zamirega Isipi vunaku nehaze.
“Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli: Mwambie mfalme wa Yuda aliyekutuma uniulize mimi, ‘Jeshi la Farao lililotoka kuja kukusaidia litarudi katika nchi yake yenyewe, yaani Misri.
8 Ana'ma hanage'za Babiloni sondia vahe'mo'za ete rukrahe hu'za e'za ama Jerusalemi rankumara hara eme hugatenere'za teve tagintesageno tegahie.
Kisha Wakaldayo watarudi na kushambulia mji huu, watauteka na kuuchoma moto.’
9 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a mago'ene huno, Tamagra'a amanage huta tamare ramataga osiho. Tamagerfa hu'za Babiloni vahe'mo'za hago tatre'za vaze huta tamagesa ontahio. Na'ankura zamagra ovu'za ete rukrahe hu'za egahaze.
“Hili ndilo Bwana asemalo: Msijidanganye wenyewe mkifikiri, ‘Hakika Wakaldayo watatuacha na kwenda zao.’ Hakika hawatawaacha!
10 Hagi Babiloni sondia vahera tamagra maka zamahe vaganereta, mago'a zamahe kuzafa'ma hanaza sondia vahe'mo'zage seli nozamifina manigahaze. Hianagi anama zamahe kuzafa'ma hanaza sondia naga'mo'za otivare'za e'za ama rankumara teve eme tagintesageno tegahie.
Hata kama mngelishinda jeshi lote la Wakaldayo linalowashambulia ninyi, na wakawa ni watu waliojeruhiwa tu waliobaki kwenye mahema yao, wangetoka na kuuchoma mji huu moto.”
11 Hagi Fero sondia vahe'mo'zama neazema haza nanekema Babiloni sondia vahe'mo'za nentahi'za, Jerusalemi kumama eme avazagi kagi'za mani'naretira atre'za vu'naze.
Baada ya jeshi la Wakaldayo kujiondoa kutoka Yerusalemu kwa sababu ya jeshi la Farao,
12 Ana knafina Jeremaia'a Jerusalemi rankumara atreno, Benzameni nagamofo mopafi vuno, naga'afinti mopa'a ome erinaku vu'ne.
Yeremia akaanza kuondoka mjini ili kwenda nchi ya Benyamini ili akapate sehemu yake ya milki miongoni mwa watu huko.
13 Hagi rankumamofona Benzameni kafanema nehaza kafante'ma egeno'a, sondia vahete kva ne' Hanania negeho, Selemia nemofokino agi'a Irija'e. Ana hu'neankino ana ne'mo'a eno kasnampa ne' Jeremaiana eme azenerino amanage hu'ne. Kagra koro frenka vunka Babiloni vahe'ene umaninaku vu'za nehane.
Lakini alipofika kwenye Lango la Benyamini, mkuu wa walinzi, ambaye jina lake lilikuwa Iriya mwana wa Shelemia mwana wa Hanania, akamkamata Yeremia na kusema, “Wewe unakwenda kujiunga na Wakaldayo!”
14 Hagi anagema higeno'a Jeremaia'a huno, i'o kagra havige nehane. Nagra korora fre'na Babiloni vahe'ma mani'nazarega novue. Hianagi Irija'a anankea nontahino Jeremaiana avreno kini nemofo eri'za vahete vu'ne.
Yeremia akasema, “Hiyo si kweli, mimi sijiungi na Wakaldayo.” Lakini Iriya hakumsikiliza; badala yake, akamkamata Yeremia na kumpeleka kwa maafisa.
15 Hagi ana'ma hutege'za kva vahe'mo'za Jeremaiana tusi zamarimpa ahenente'za sefura amite'za avre'za vu'za, avoma kreno erinte fatgoma nehia ne' Jonatani nompi ome kina hunte'naze. Na'ankure Jonatani nona kina no erise'naze.
Wakamkasirikia Yeremia, wakaamuru apigwe, na akafungwa katika nyumba ya Yonathani mwandishi waliyokuwa wameifanya gereza.
16 Hagi ana kina nona mopafi kafi'za urami'naza kina nonkino, Jeremaia'a anampina za'za kna umani'ne.
Yeremia akawekwa kwenye chumba kilichofukuliwa chini, kilichojengwa kwa zege ndani ya gereza chini ya ngome, akakaa huko kwa muda mrefu.
17 Hagi henka kini ne' Jedekaia'a vahe huzmantege'za Jeremaiana ome avre'za azageno, noma'afi oku'a amanage huno antahige'ne. Ra Anumzamo'a mago'a nanekea kasami'nefi? higeno Jeremaia'a huno, i'zo me'ne nehuno amanage hu'ne. Kagrira Babiloni kini ne'mofo azampi kavrentegahaze.
Kisha Mfalme Sedekia akatumana aletwe katika jumba la kifalme, mahali alipomuuliza kwa siri, “Je, kuna neno lolote kutoka kwa Bwana?” Yeremia akajibu, “Ndiyo, utatiwa mikononi mwa mfalme wa Babeli.”
18 Hagi anage nehuno Jeremaia'a kini ne' Jedekaiana asamino, nagra na'a mago hazenkea kagrite'ene, kagri eri'za vahete'ene, ama vahete'enena hu'nogenka, kinafina navrente'nane?
Kisha Yeremia akamwambia Mfalme Sedekia, “Nimefanya kosa gani dhidi yako na maafisa wako au watu hawa, hata ukanitia gerezani?
19 Hagi Babiloni vahe'mo'za e'za kagri'ene amama mani'nana mopafi vahe'enena hara eme huoramantegahaze hu'zama, kasnampa kema nehaza kema antahi'nana kasnampa vaheka'a iga mani'naze?
Wako wapi manabii wako waliokutabiria wakisema, ‘Mfalme wa Babeli hatakushambulia wewe wala nchi hii?’
20 Hagi menina muse hugantoanki, naza huogu kini nera ranimoka kantahi negoanki antahi nenaminka, natrege'na avoma kreno erinte fatgoma nehia ne' Jonatani nompina ova'neno. Ana'ma hananke'na anampima umanine'na fri'zankura navesra nehie.
Lakini sasa, bwana wangu mfalme, tafadhali sikiliza. Niruhusu nilete maombi yangu mbele yako, usinirudishe kwenye nyumba ya Yonathani mwandishi, nisije nikafia humo.”
21 Anagema hutegeno'a kini ne' Jedekaia'a hige'za Jeremaiana avre'za vu'za, kini ne'mofo kumapima sondia vahe'ma nemanifi ome kina huntageno mani'nege'za, bretima negraza vaheteti mago mago knarera bretia eri'za ome amitere hazageno neneno mani'ne. Ana nehazageno vuno rankumapima me'nea bretimo'a maka vagare'ne. Hianagi Jeremaia'a sondia vahe'ma nemanizafi kina huno mani'ne.
Ndipo Mfalme Sedekia akatoa maagizo Yeremia awekwe katika ua wa walinzi, na apewe mkate kutoka mitaa ya waokaji kila siku mpaka mikate yote katika mji itakapokwisha. Kwa hiyo Yeremia akabaki katika ua wa walinzi.
