< Yeremiya 43 >

1 Yeremiya bwe yamala okutegeeza abantu ebigambo byonna Mukama Katonda waabwe bye yamutuma okubagamba,
Kwasekusithi lapho uJeremiya eseqedile ukukhuluma kubo bonke abantu wonke amazwi eNkosi uNkulunkulu wabo, iNkosi uNkulunkulu wabo eyayimthume ngawo kibo, ngitsho wonke lamazwi;
2 Azaliya mutabani wa Kosaaya ne Yokanaani mutabani wa Kaleya n’abasajja bonna ab’amalala ne bagamba Yeremiya nti, “Olimba! Mukama Katonda wo takutumye kugamba nti, ‘Temugenda Misiri kusenga eyo.’
wasekhuluma uAzariya indodana kaHoshaya, loJohanani indodana kaKareya, labo bonke abantu abazikhukhumezayo, besithi kuJeremiya: Uqamba amanga. INkosi uNkulunkulu wethu kayikuthumanga ukuze uthi: Lingayi eGibhithe ukuze lihlale njengabezizwe khona;
3 Naye Baluki mutabani wa Neriya y’akusendasenda otugabule mu mukono gw’Abakaludaaya, batutte oba batutwale mu buwaŋŋanguse e Babulooni.”
kodwa uBharukhi indodana kaNeriya uyakukhuthaza emelene lathi, ukuze asinikele esandleni samaKhaladiya, ukuze asibulale, asithumbele eBhabhiloni.
4 Awo Yokanaani mutabani wa Kaleya n’abaduumizi ba magye bonna n’abantu bonna ne bajeemera ekiragiro kya Mukama eky’okusigala mu nsi ya Yuda.
Ngakho uJohanani indodana kaKareya, lazo zonke induna zamabutho, labo bonke abantu, kabalilalelanga ilizwi leNkosi, ukuze bahlale elizweni lakoJuda.
5 Yokanaani mutabani wa Kaleya n’abaduumizi ba magye ga Yuda bonna ne bakulembera abantu ba Yuda abaali basigaddewo nga bakomyewo okuva mu mawanga gonna gye baali baddukidde okubeera mu nsi ya Yuda.
Kodwa uJohanani indodana kaKareya lazo zonke induna zamabutho bathatha yonke insali yakoJuda eyayibuyele ivela kuzo zonke izizwe lapho ababexotshelwe khona, ukuhlala elizweni lakoJuda;
6 Ne batwala n’abasajja bonna, n’abakazi n’abaana n’abawala ba kabaka, Nebuzaladaani omuduumizi w’eggye lya kabaka w’e Babulooni be yali alekedde Gedaliya mutabani wa Akikamu, mutabani wa Safani, ne nnabbi Yeremiya ne Baluki mutabani wa Neriya.
amadoda, labafazi, labantwana, lamadodakazi enkosi, laye wonke umuntu uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi ayebatshiye kuGedaliya indodana kaAhikhamu indodana kaShafani, loJeremiya umprofethi, loBharukhi indodana kaNeriya.
7 Awo ne bayingira e Misiri nga bajeemedde Mukama, ne bagenda okutuukira ddala e Tapaneese.
Basebengena elizweni leGibhithe, ngoba kabalilalelanga ilizwi leNkosi; basebefika eThahaphanesi.
8 Bwe baba bali e Tapaneese, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Yeremiya nti,
Laselifika ilizwi leNkosi kuJeremiya eThahaphanesi lisithi:
9 “Twala amayinja amanene ogaziike mu bbumba mu lubalaza olw’amatoffaali ku mulyango gw’olubiri lwa Falaawo e Tapaneese, ng’Abayudaaya bonna balaba.
Thatha esandleni sakho amatshe amakhulu, uwafihle ebumbeni ewondweni, esekungeneni kwendlu kaFaro eThahaphanesi, emehlweni amadoda angamaJuda,
10 Obagambe nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, Nditumya omuddu wange Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni, era nditeeka entebe ye ey’obwakabaka ku mayinja gano ge nziise wano. Ku go kwalikuba eweema ye ey’obwakabaka.
uthi kiwo: Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Khangelani, ngizathuma ngilande uNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni inceku yami, ngifake isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi phezu kwalamatshe engiwafihlileyo, endlale ithente lakhe lesikhosini phezu kwawo.
11 Alijja n’alumba Misiri, atte abo ab’okufa, awambe n’abo ab’okuwambibwa, n’ab’okuttibwa n’ekitala battibwe n’ekitala.
Eze atshaye ilizwe leGibhithe; labo abokufa ekufeni, lalabo abokuthunjwa ekuthunjweni, lalabo abenkemba enkembeni.
12 Alikoleeza omuliro ku masabo ga bakatonda b’e Misiri, n’abatwala mu busibe nga alese amasabo gaabwe agookezza. Ng’omulunzi w’endiga bwe yeezingirira ekyambalo kye, bw’atyo bw’alyezingirira ensi y’e Misiri n’avaayo nga tewali kabi konna kamutuuseeko.
Ngiphembe umlilo ezindlini zabonkulunkulu beGibhithe, abatshise, abathumbe, azithandele ngelizwe leGibhithe njengomelusi ezithandela ngesigqoko sakhe, aphume khona ngokuthula.
13 Alimenyamenya empagi ezaawongebwa mu ssabo ly’enjuba mu Misiri, n’ayokya n’amasabo ga bakatonda b’e Misiri.’”
Njalo uzakwephula insika zeBetshemeshi eziyizithombe eziselizweni leGibhithe, atshise ngomlilo izindlu zabonkulunkulu beGibhithe.
