Zeremaia 38
1 Hagi Matani nemofo Sifatiaki, Pasuri nemofo Gadaliaki, Selemaia nemofo Jukaliki, Malkia nemofo Pasuriki hu'za mani'ne'za nentahizageno Jeremaia'a maka vahera amanage huno zamasami'ne,
Shefatia mwana wa Matani, na Gedalia mwana wa Pashuri, na Yehukali mwana wa Shelemia, na Pashuri mwana wa Malkiya wakasikia kile Yeremia alichokuwa akiwaambia watu wote wakati aliposema,
2 Ra Anumzamo'a huno, iza'o ama rankuma'mofo agu'afima manisia vahera hapinti ahe frige, ne'zanku huno frige, krimo ahe frige hugahie. Hianagi iza'o Kaldia vahe zamazampima freno vania vahe'mo'a ofri manigahie. Anama ofri manisaza vahera hapinti fenozama rohure'za erizankna hu'za, ozamahe zamatresage'za manigahaze.
“Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: ‘Yeyote akaaye ndani ya mji huu atakufa kwa upanga, njaa au tauni, lakini yeyote atakayejisalimisha kwa Wakaldayo ataishi. Atakayeyatoa maisha yake kama nyara, ataishi.’
3 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Ama Jerusalemi rankumara Babiloni kini ne'mofo sondia vahe zamazampi erintesuge'za hahugatere'za erigahaze hu'ne.
Tena hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: ‘Mji huu kwa hakika utatiwa mikononi mwa jeshi la mfalme wa Babeli, ambaye atauteka.’”
4 Hagi Jeremaia'a anagema hige'za anante kini ne'mofo eri'za vahe'mo'za kini nera asami'za, ama nera ahe frigahune. Na'ankure amanahu nanekema nehia zamo'a, ama rankumapima nemaniza sondia vahe'ene maka vahemo'zanema koro'ma hanaza naneke nehie. Na'ankure agra ama vahe'mokizmi knare zankura keaga nosianki, hazenkema erisaza nanekege nehie.
Ndipo maafisa wakamwambia mfalme, “Mtu huyu imempasa kuuawa. Anawakatisha tamaa askari waliobaki katika mji huu, vivyo hivyo na watu wote pia, kwa ajili ya mambo anayowaambia. Mtu huyu hawatakii mema watu hawa, bali maangamizi yao.”
5 Hagi anante kini ne' Zedekaia'a huno, antahiho! Agra menina tamagri tamazampi mani'neanki'na, nagra kini ne'mo'na mago zana osugahue.
Mfalme Sedekia akajibu, “Yeye yuko mikononi mwenu! Mfalme hawezi kufanya lolote kuwapinga ninyi.”
6 Hagi anagema hige'za Jeremaiana avre'za kini ne'mofo nemofo Malkiza tinkerifi ome atrageno urami'ne. Anama ome atre'naza tinkerimo'a sondia vahe'ma nemaniza kumapi me'ne. Ana hu'negeno ana kerifina tina omanegeno hapamoke me'nefi Jeremaiana nofi rentene'za atrazageno anampi uramino hampakane'ne.
Basi wakamchukua Yeremia na kumtia kwenye kisima cha Malkiya, mwana wa mfalme, kilichokuwa katika ua wa walinzi. Wakamteremsha Yeremia kwa kamba ndani ya kisima. Hakikuwa na maji ndani yake, ila tope tu, naye Yeremia akazama ndani ya matope.
7 Hagi mago nera Ebet-Melekikino kini ne'mofo nompi eri'za e'neria nere. Agra Itiopia mopafinti nekino, kini ne'mofo nompi mani'neno, Jeremaiama avre'za tinkerifima ome atre'naza nanekea antahi'ne. Hagi ana zupa kini ne'mo'a rankumamofona Benzameni kafanema nehaza rankafante mani'ne.
Lakini Ebed-Meleki Mkushi, aliyekuwa afisa katika jumba la kifalme, akasikia kuwa walikuwa wamemtia Yeremia ndani ya kisima. Wakati mfalme alipokuwa ameketi katika Lango la Benyamini,
8 Hagi Ebet-Meleki'a kini ne'mofo nompima mani'neretira atreno vuno, kini nera amanage huno ome asami'ne.
Ebed-Meleki akatoka nje ya jumba la kifalme na kumwambia,
9 Kini nera ranimoka, ama vahe'mo'za havi avu'avaza hu'za, kasnampa ne' Jeremaiana avre'za vu'za tinkerifina ome atre'nazankino, anampi manineno agazanku huno frigahie. Na'ankure magore huno rankumapina ne'zana omanetfa hu'ne.
“Mfalme bwana wangu, watu hawa wamefanya uovu kwa yote waliomtendea nabii Yeremia. Wamemtupa ndani ya kisima, mahali ambapo atakufa kwa njaa wakati ambapo hakuna chakula popote katika mji.”
10 Anagema higeno'a kini ne'mo'a Ebet-Melekina amanage huno huntene, Ru frisnigi vunka 30'a vahe ome zamavarenka ana kerifintira kasnampa ne' Jeremaiana ome avre atreho.
Basi mfalme akamwamuru Ebed-Meleki Mkushi, akisema, “Chukua watu thelathini kutoka hapa pamoja nawe, mkamtoe nabii Yeremia huko kwenye kisima kabla hajafa.”
11 Anage higeno'a Ebet-Meleki'a ana vahera ome zamavarege'za kini ne'mofo nompi vu'za, feno zama nentaza nomofo fenka kazigama me'nea nompima, tagato tagatu'ma hu'nea kukenane atafa kukenama nentazafinti ana kukena ome eriteno vuno nofi ome anakiteno atregeno Jeremaia'ma kerifima mani'nere urami'ne.
Basi Ebed-Meleki akawachukua watu pamoja naye, wakaenda mpaka kwenye chumba kilichoko chini ya hazina ndani ya jumba la kifalme. Akachukua matambaa makuukuu pamoja na nguo zilizochakaa kutoka huko, na kumshushia Yeremia kwa kamba ndani ya kisima.
12 Hagi ana Itiopia ne' Ebet-Meleki''a Jeremaiana amanage huno asami'ne, Ana tavarave nofi erinka tarega kazo'namofo fenka kaziga atregeno rugagino, ana hutenka nofimo'ma katama kami'zankura nofira erinka kavuga ana tavravemofo amu'nompi anakio. Higeno anama asamia zana amage anteno Jeremaia'a hu'ne.
Ebed-Meleki Mkushi akamwambia Yeremia, “Weka haya matambaa makuukuu na hizo nguo zilizochakaa makwapani ili kuzuia kamba.” Yeremia akafanya hivyo,
13 Ana hute'za ana nofite Jeremaiana ana kerifintira avazuhu anagate'naze. Ana hutazageno kini ne'mofo kumapima sondia vahe'ma nemanizafi mani'ne.
nao wakamvuta juu kwa kamba na kumtoa katika kisima. Yeremia akakaa katika ua wa walinzi.
14 Hagi mago zupa kini ne' Zedekaia'a vahe huzmantege'za vu'za Jeremaiana ome asamizageno Ra Anumzamofo mono nomofona nampa 3 kafama unefrazare mani'negeno eme ke'ne. Higeno kini nemo'a amanage huno Jeremaiana asami'ne. Nagra mago zanku kantahige'za nehuanki magore hunka nagritera eri frara okio.
Ndipo Mfalme Sedekia akatuma watu wamwitie nabii Yeremia wamlete kwake kwenye ingilio la tatu la Hekalu la Bwana. Mfalme akamwambia Yeremia, “Ninataka kukuuliza jambo fulani, usinifiche kitu chochote.”
15 Anage higeno Jeremaia'a amanage huno Zedekaiana asami'ne. Nagrama kekare'ma nonama hu'na kasami'nuana nagrira tamagerfa hunka nahe frigahane. Hagi nagrama knare antahintahima kamisuana, ana nanekeni'a ontahigahane.
Yeremia akamwambia Sedekia, “Nikikupa jibu, je, hutaniua? Hata kama nikikupa shauri, wewe hutanisikiliza.”
16 Hianagi kini ne' Zedekaia'a oku'a zanagrake mani'neke Jeremaiana amanage huno huvempa hunte'ne. Ra Anumzana kasefa huno mani'nea Anumzama, tasimu'ma tamigeta mani'nona Anumzamofo avufi huvempa huanki'na kagrira kahe ofrigahue. Ana nehu'na kahe frinaku'ma nehaza vahe zamazampina kavre ontegahue.
Lakini Mfalme Sedekia akamwapia Yeremia kiapo hiki kwa siri, akisema, “Hakika kama aishivyo Bwana, ambaye ametupa pumzi, sitakuua wala sitakutia mikononi mwa wale wanaotafuta uhai wako.”
17 Anante Jeremaia'a amanage huno Zedekaiana asami'ne. Ra Anumzana Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a huno, ha'ma osu kagrama atrenka Babiloni kini ne'mofo eri'za vahe zamazampima ufresunka, kagra knare hunka manigahane. Ana'ma hananke'za ama Jerusalemi rankumara tevea tagi ontegahaze. Ana hanagenka kagrane nagaka'anena knare huta manigahaze.
Kisha Yeremia akamwambia Sedekia, “Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana Mungu Mwenye Nguvu Zote, Mungu wa Israeli: ‘Ikiwa utajisalimisha kwa maafisa wa mfalme wa Babeli, maisha yako yatasalimika, na mji huu hautateketezwa kwa moto. Pia wewe na jamaa yako mtaishi.
18 Hianagi kagrama atrenka Babiloni kini ne'mofo eri'za vahe zamazampima uofresanke'na, Nagra Kaldia vahe zamazampi ama Jerusalemi rankumara erintesuge'za teve tagintesageno tegahie. Ana hanigenka kagra ana vahe zamazampintira zamatrenka ofregahane.
Lakini ikiwa hutajisalimisha kwa maafisa wa mfalme wa Babeli, mji huu utatiwa mikononi mwa Wakaldayo na watauteketeza kwa moto, nawe mwenyewe hutaweza kujiokoa mikononi mwao.’”
19 Hagi kini ne' Zedekaia'a amanage huno Jeremaiana asami'ne. Koma Juda vahe'mo'zama atre'za Babiloni vahe'enema umani'naza vaheku koro nehue. Nagri'ma navre'za Babilonima vu'za Juda vahe zamazampi ome antesage'za, nazeri havizama huzanku korora nehue.
Mfalme Sedekia akamwambia Yeremia, “Ninawaogopa Wayahudi ambao wamekimbilia kwa Wakaldayo, kwa kuwa Wakaldayo wanaweza kunitia mikononi mwao, nao wakanitenda vibaya.”
20 Higeno Jeremaia'a ana kenona huno, Kagrira kavre'za Juda vahe zamazampina ome ontegahaze. Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma hige'nama kasamua nanekea antahinka amage'anto. Ana'ma hananke'za kagrira kahe ofrisagenka knare hunka manigahane.
Yeremia akajibu, “Hawatakutia mikononi mwao. Mtii Bwana kwa kufanya kile ninachokuambia. Kisha utafanikiwa na maisha yako yatakuwa salama.
21 Hianagi kagrama kema ontahinka, kagraka'ama atrenka Babiloni vahe zamazampima uofresanana, Ra Anumzamo'a amanahu huno ava'nagna zana naveri hige'na ke'noe.
Lakini ukikataa kujisalimisha, hili ndilo Bwana alilonifunulia:
22 Juda kini ne'mofo nompima mani'naza maka a'nane nagara, ana maka zamavare'za vu'za Babiloni kini ne'mofo eri'za vahe ome zami'naze. Ana hazage'za ana a'nemo'za hu'za, kagrama antahima nezamina ronekamo'za kagrira hara hugagatenere'za regavatga hazagenka zamagri nanekea antahi'nane. Ana hankeno kagiamo'ma hapapima hampakanege'za, kagrira rukrahera hu'za onkage'naze.
Wanawake wote walioachwa katika jumba la kifalme la mfalme wa Yuda wataletwa mbele ya maafisa wa mfalme wa Babeli. Wanawake hao watakuambia: “‘Walikupotosha na kukushinda, wale rafiki zako uliowaamini. Miguu yako imezama matopeni; rafiki zako wamekuacha.’
23 Ana maka a'ne naga'kane mofavre nagakanena ana maka zamavare'za vu'za Kaldia vahe ome zamigahaze. Ana hanagenka kagra zamagri zamazampintira zamatrenka ofregahane. Hianagi kagrira Babiloni kini ne'mo'a kaze'nerinige'za ama rankumara teve tagintesageno tegahie.
“Wake zako wote na watoto wataletwa na kutiwa mikononi mwa Wakaldayo. Wewe mwenyewe hutaweza kujiokoa mikononi mwao. Lakini utatekwa na mfalme wa Babeli, na mji huu utateketezwa kwa moto.”
24 Hagi anante Zedekaia'a amanage huno Jeremaiana asami'ne. Amama hana nanekea atregeno mago vahe'mo'a ontahino. Vahe'ma zamasamisanana kagra frigahane.
Kisha Sedekia akamwambia Yeremia, “Usiruhusu mtu yeyote ajue kuhusu haya mazungumzo, la sivyo utakufa.
25 Hagi kagranema keagama hu'a nanekema nagri eri'za vahe'mo'zama antahisu'za, e'za kagri'ma eme kantahige'za, kagra na'ane hunka hankeno kini ne'mo'a na'ane hifi magore hunka ana nanekea eri frara okinka tasamio. Anama hananketa kagrira kahe ofrigahune hu'za hugahaze.
Maafisa wakisikia kwamba nimezungumza nawe, nao wakakujia na kusema, ‘Tuambie kile ulichozungumza na mfalme na kile mfalme alichokuambia, usitufiche au sivyo tutakuua,’
26 E'inahu nanekema hanagenka kagra amanage hunka zamasamio. Nagrama kini ne'ene keagama huana, nagra Jonatani nompima umanine'na fri'zanku ete natrege'na ana nompina ova'neno hu'na antahige'noe hunka zamasamio.
basi waambie, ‘Nilikuwa ninamsihi mfalme asinirudishe kwenye nyumba ya Yonathani nisije nikafia humo.’”
27 Hagi anante maka kini ne'mofo eri'za vahe'mo'za Jeremaiante e'za eme antahigageno, kini nemo'ma asami'nea kante anteno agra kenona huzmante'ne. Hige'za Jeremaia'enena mago'ene keaga osu'naze. Na'ankure kini nemo'enema keagama hu'na'a nanekea mago vahe'mo'a ontahitfa hu'negu anara hu'naze.
Maafisa wote wakamjia Yeremia na kumuuliza, naye Yeremia akawaambia kila kitu mfalme alichomwagiza kusema. Kisha hawakusema lolote zaidi na Yeremia kwa sababu hakuna yeyote aliyesikia mazungumzo yake na mfalme.
28 Hagi Jeremaia'a sondia vahe'ma nemaniza kumapima kinama huno nemanifi anampinka mani'nege'za, ha' vahe'mo'za e'za Jerusalemi kumara hara eme hugatere'za eri'naze.
Naye Yeremia akabaki katika ua wa walinzi hadi siku Yerusalemu ilipotekwa.
