1 Ngomnyaka wesine kaJehoyakhimi indodana kaJosiya inkosi yakoJuda ilizwi leli lafika kuJeremiya livela kuThixo, lisithi:
Mu mwaka ogwokuna ogw’obufuzi bwa Yekoyakimu mutabani wa Yosiya kabaka wa Yuda ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Yeremiya nga kigamba nti,
2 “Thatha umqulu ulobe kuwo wonke amazwi engawatsho kuwe ngo-Israyeli, uJuda lezinye zonke izizwe kusukela ngiqalisa ukukhuluma kuwe ekubuseni kukaJosiya kuze kube khathesi.
“Twala omuzingo gw’empapula oguwandiikeko ebigambo byonna bye njogedde naawe ebikwata ku Isirayiri, ne Yuda n’amawanga gonna okuva mu biseera bye natandika okwogera naawe okuva mu bufuzi bwa Yosiya okutuusa kaakano.
3 Mhlawumbe lapho abantu bakoJuda besizwa ngawo wonke umonakalo engiceba ukuwehlisela phezu kwabo, omunye lomunye wabo uzaphenduka ezindleleni zakhe ezimbi; kulapho-ke ngizabathethelela ububi babo lezono zabo.”
Oboolyawo abantu ba Yuda bwe banaawulira ku bikangabwa bye ntegeka okubateekako, buli omu ku bo anaakyuka okuleka amakubo ge amabi, ndyoke mbasonyiwe ebibi byabwe n’obutali butuukirivu bwabwe.”
4 Ngakho uJeremiya wabiza uBharukhi indodana kaNeriya. Kwathi uJeremiya ewatsho wonke amazwi ayekhulunywe nguThixo, uBharukhi ewaloba emqulwini.
Awo Yeremiya n’ayita Baluki mutabani wa Neriya, era nga Yeremiya ayogera ebigambo byonna Mukama bye yali ayogedde naye, Baluki n’abiwandiika ku muzingo.
5 UJeremiya wasesithi kuBharukhi, “Mina ngivalelwe; ngingeke ngiye ethempelini likaThixo.
Awo Yeremiya n’agamba Baluki nti, “Nagaanibwa okugenda mu nnyumba ya Mukama.
6 Ngakho yana endlini kaThixo ngosuku lokuzila ukudla ubalele abantu amazwi kaThixo asemqulwini owawaloba ngikutshela. Abalele bonke abantu bakoJuda abangena bevela emadolobheni akibo.
Kale laga mu nnyumba ya Mukama ku lunaku olw’okusiiba osomere abantu ebigambo bya Mukama ebiri ku muzingo by’owandiise nga njogera. Bisomere abantu ba Yuda bonna abava mu bibuga byabwe.
7 Engxenye bazaletha isicelo sabo phambi kukaThixo, omunye lomunye aphenduke ezindleleni zakhe ezimbi, ngoba intukuthelo lolaka okumenyezelwe kulababantu nguThixo kukhulu.”
Oboolyawo banaaleeta okwegayirira kwabwe eri Mukama, era buli omu anaava mu makubo ge amabi, kubanga obusungu n’ekiruyi Mukama by’agambye okutuusa ku bantu bano binene nnyo.”
8 UBharukhi indodana kaNeriya wenza konke ayekutshelwe nguJeremiya umphrofethi ukuba akwenze; ethempelini likaThixo wabala amazwi kaThixo emqulwini.
Baluki mutabani wa Neriya n’akola byonna nnabbi Yeremiya bye yamugamba okukola; n’asomera, ebigambo bya Mukama okuva mu muzingo, mu yeekaalu ya Mukama.
9 Ngenyanga yesificamunwemunye yomnyaka wesihlanu kaJehoyakhimi indodana kaJosiya inkosi yakoJuda, kwamenyezelwa isikhathi sokuzila ukudla phambi kukaThixo ebantwini bonke baseJerusalema lakulaba ababeze bevela emadolobheni akoJuda.
Mu mwezi ogwomwenda ogw’omwaka ogwokutaano ogw’obufuzi bwa Yekoyakimu mutabani wa Yosiya kabaka wa Yuda, ekiseera eky’okusiibira mu maaso ga Mukama kyalangirirwa eri abantu bonna mu Yerusaalemi era n’abo abaali bavudde mu bibuga bya Yuda.
10 Esendlini kaGemariya indodana kaShafani umabhalani, eyayisegumeni langaphezulu ekungeneni kweSango eLitsha lethempeli, uBharukhi wawabalela abantu bonke ethempelini likaThixo amazwi kaJeremiya asemqulwini.
Awo ng’abantu bonna bawulira, Baluki n’asoma ebigambo bya Yeremiya okuva mu muzingo, mu nnyumba ya Mukama ng’ali mu kisenge kya Gemaliya mutabani wa Safani omuwandiisi, ekyali mu luggya olw’ekyengulu, mu mulyango omuggya ogw’ennyumba ya Mukama ng’abantu bonna bawulira.
11 Kwathi uMikhaya indodana kaGemariya, indodana kaShafani, esezwe wonke amazwi kaThixo ayesemqulwini,
Mikaaya mutabani wa Gemaliya mutabani wa Safani bwe yawulira ebigambo bya Mukama byonna ebyali mu muzingo,
12 waya phansi endlini kamabhalani esigodlweni, lapho izikhulu zonke ezazihlezi khona: u-Elishama umabhalani, uDelaya indodana kaShemaya, u-Elinathani indodana ka-Akhibhori, uGemariya indodana kaShafani, uZedekhiya indodana kaHananiya kanye lezinye zonke izikhulu.
n’agenda eri ennyumba y’omuwandiisi mu lubiri lwa kabaka, abakungu bonna gye baali batudde: Erisaama omuwandiisi, ne Deraya mutabani wa Semaaya, ne Erunasani mutabani wa Akubooli, ne Gemaliya mutabani wa Safani, ne Zeddekiya mutabani wa Kananiya, n’abakungu bonna abalala.
13 Emva kokuba uMikhaya esebatshele konke ayezwe uBharukhi ekubalela abantu emqulwini,
Mikaaya ng’ababuulidde byonna bye yali awulidde Baluki asomera abantu okuva ku muzingo,
14 izikhulu zonke zathuma uJehudi indodana kaNethaniya, indodana kaShelemiya, indodana kaKhushi, ukuba ayekuthi kuBharukhi, “Woza lomqulu owubalele abantu.” Ngakho uBharukhi indodana kaNeriya waya kubo lomqulu ewuphethe ngesandla.
abakungu bonna ne batuma Yekudi mutabani wa Nesaniya, mutabani wa Seremiya mutabani wa Kuusi eri Baluki amugambe nti, “Leeta omuzingo gw’osomedde abantu, naawe ojje.” Awo Baluki mutabani wa Neriya n’atwalira omuzingo mu mikono gye n’agubaleetera.
15 Bathi kuye, “Ake uhlale phansi usibalele wona.” Ngakho uBharukhi wababalela.
Ne bamugamba nti, “Tuula wansi, ogutusomere.” Awo Baluki n’agubasomera.
16 Sebezwe wonke amazwi la bakhangelana ngokwesaba, basebesithi kuBharukhi, “Amazwi la kumele siwabike wonke enkosini.”
Bwe baawulira ebigambo ebyo byonna, buli omu n’atunula ku munne ng’atidde ne bagamba Baluki nti, “Tuteekwa okubuulira kabaka ebigambo bino byonna.”
17 Babuya bambuza uBharukhi bathi, “Sitshele, kwenzakale njani ukuthi ubhale konke lokhu? Kukhulunywe nguJeremiya na?”
Awo ne babuuza Baluki nti, “Tubuulire, wazze otya okuwandiika bino byonna? Yeremiya ye yabikugambye?”
18 UBharukhi waphendula wathi, “Ye, amazwi wonke la uwakhulume kimi, mina ngawaloba nge-inki emqulwini.”
Baluki n’abaddamu nti, “Weewaawo ye yayogedde ebigambo bino byonna, nze ne mbiwandiika ne bwino ku muzingo.”
19 Izikhulu zasezisithi kuBharukhi, “Wena loJeremiya hambani liyecatsha. Lingatsheli muntu ukuthi lingaphi.”
Awo abakungu bonna ne bagamba Baluki nti, “Ggwe ne Yeremiya mugende mwekweke. Temukkiriza muntu yenna kumanya gye muli.”
20 Sebefake umqulu endlini ka-Elishama umabhalani, baya enkosini egumeni bayibikela konke,
Bwe baamala okutereka omuzingo mu kisenge kya Erisaama omuwandiisi, ne bagenda eri kabaka mu luggya ne bamutegeeza byonna.
21 inkosi yathuma uJehudi ukuba ayethatha umqulu lowo, uJehudi weza lawo ewuthethe endlini ka-Elishama umabhalani wawubalela inkosi lezikhulu zonke ezazimi phansi kwayo.
Kabaka n’atuma Yekudi okuleeta omuzingo, Yekudi n’aguleeta okuva mu kisenge kya Erisaama omuwandiisi agusomere kabaka n’abakungu bonna abaali bamuyimiridde ku lusegere.
22 Kwakuyinyanga yesificamunwemunye, njalo inkosi yayihlezi ekamelweni lebusika, kulomlilo ovuthayo eziko phambi kwayo.
Gwali mwezi gwa mwenda ne kabaka yali atudde mu nnyumba etuulwamu mu budde obw’obutiti, ng’omuliro gwakira mu kibya kyagwo mu maaso ge.
23 Kwakusithi uJehudi angabala izigaba ezintathu loba ezine zomqulu, inkosi iziqume ngengqamu iziphosele eziko umqulu waze watsha wonke emlilweni.
Buli Yekudi lwe yasomangako empapula ssatu oba nnya ez’omuzingo, kabaka ng’azisala n’akambe k’omuwandiisi n’azisuula mu muliro okutuusa omuzingo gwonna lwe gwajjiira mu muliro.
24 Inkosi lezinceku zayo zonke ezawezwayo amazwi la kabesabanga loba badabule izigqoko zabo.
Kabaka n’abantu bonna abaawulira ebigambo bino tebaatya, wadde okuyuza engoye zaabwe.
25 Lanxa u-Elinathani loDelaya kanye loGemariya bayincenga inkosi ukuba ingatshisi umqulu, kayibalalelanga.
Newaakubadde nga Erunasani, ne Deraaya ne Gemaliya beegayirira kabaka obutayokya muzingo, teyabawuliriza.
26 Esikhundleni salokho inkosi yalaya uJerameli, indodana yenkosi, loSeraya indodana ka-Aziriyeli kanye loShelemiya indodana ka-Abhideli ukuba babophe uBharukhi umbhali kanye loJeremiya umphrofethi. Kodwa uThixo wayesebafihlile.
Naye kabaka yalagira Yerameeri mutabani wa kabaka ne Seraya mutabani wa Azulyeri ne Seremiya mutabani wa Abudeeri okukwata Baluki omuwandiisi ne nnabbi Yeremiya, wabula Mukama ng’abakwese.
27 Inkosi isitshise umqulu owawulamazwi ayebhalwe nguBharukhi ewatshelwa nguJeremiya, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kuJeremiya lisithi,
Kabaka ng’amaze okwokya omuzingo ogwalimu ebigambo Baluki bye yali awandiise nga Yeremiya abyogera, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Yeremiya nti,
28 “Thatha omunye umqulu ulobe kuwo wonke amazwi abesemqulwini wakuqala, otshiswe nguJehoyakhimi inkosi yakoJuda.
“Twala omuzingo omulala oguwandiikeko ebigambo byonna ebyali ku muzingo ogwasooka, Yekoyakimu kabaka wa Yuda gwe yayokya.
29 Umtshele uJehoyakhimi inkosi yakoJuda uthi, ‘UThixo uthi: Utshise umqulu lowana wathi, “Kungani ulobe kuwo ukuthi inkosi yaseBhabhiloni izakuza ngempela ichithe ilizwe leli, iqothule abantu lezinyamazana kulo na?”
Gamba ne Yekoyakimu kabaka wa Yuda nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, Wayokya omuzingo ogwo n’ogamba nti, “Lwaki wakiwandiikamu nti kabaka w’e Babulooni alijja azikiririze ddala ensi eno agimalemu abantu n’ensolo?”
30 Ngakho mayelana loJehoyakhimi inkosi yakoJuda, uThixo uthi: Akayikuba lomuntu ozahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavida; isidumbu sakhe sizaphoselwa phandle sichayeke ekutshiseni kwelanga lakungqwaqwane webusuku.
Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama eri Yekoyakimu kabaka wa Yuda nti, Tajja kubeera na muntu n’omu kutuula ku ntebe ya Dawudi, n’omulambo gwe gulisuulibwa ebweru gwanikibwe mu musana emisana ne mu butiti ekiro.
31 Ngizamjezisa labantwana bakhe kanye lezinceku zakhe ngenxa yobubi babo. Ngizakwehlisela phezu kwabo laphezu kwalabo abahlala eJerusalema kanye labantu bakoJuda, wonke umonakalo engawumemezela kubo, ngoba kabalalelanga.’”
Ndimubonereza n’abaana be, ne bakalabaalaba be olw’okwonoona kwabwe. Ndimuleetako ne bonna ababeera mu Yerusaalemi ne bonna ababeera mu Yuda buli kibonoobono kye naboogerako, kubanga tebawulirizza.’”
32 Ngakho uJeremiya wathatha omunye umqulu wawunika umbhali uBharukhi indodana kaNeriya, njalo kwathi uJeremiya emtshela uBharukhi waloba kuwo wonke amazwi omqulu owawutshiswe emlilweni nguJehoyakhimi inkosi yakoJuda. Kwengezelelwa ngamanye amazwi amanengi ayefana lalawo.
Olwo Yeremiya n’atwala omuzingo omulala n’aguwa omuwandiisi Baluki mutabani wa Neriya; nga Yeremiya ayogera, Baluki yawandiikamu ebigambo byonna ebyali mu muzingo guli Yekoyakimu kabaka wa Yuda gwe yayokya mu muliro. N’ebigambo bingi ebifaanana bwe bityo byayongerwamu.
