1 Pamazuva okutanga kubata ushe kwaJehoyakimi mwanakomana waJosia mambo weJudha, shoko iri rakabva kuna Jehovha richiti,
Yehoyakimu, mwana wa Yosiya mfumu ya ku Yuda atayamba kulamulira, Yehova anayankhula ndi Yeremiya kuti,
2 “Zvanzi naJehovha: Mira paruvazhe rweimba yaJehovha utaure kuvanhu vose vomumaguta eJudha vanouya kuzonamata muimba yaJehovha. Uvaudze zvose zvandinokurayira, usadarikira kana shoko rimwe chete,
“Kayime mʼbwalo la Nyumba ya Yehova. Ndipo ukayankhule kwa anthu onse okhala mʼmizinda ya ku Yuda amene amabwera kudzapembedza ku Nyumba ya Yehova. Ukawawuze zonse zomwe ndakulamula; usakasiyeko ndi mawu amodzi omwe.
3 Zvimwe vachanzwa mumwe nomumwe akadzoka panzira dzake dzakaipa. Ipapo ndichazvidemba ndikarega kuisa pamusoro pavo njodzi yandanga ndichifunga kuvaitira nokuda kwezvakaipa zvavakaita.
Mwina mwake adzamvera, ndipo aliyense adzatembenuka kuleka njira yake yoyipa. Ndiye ine ndidzaleka osapatsa chilango chimene ndinakonzekera kuti ndiwalange nacho chifukwa cha ntchito zawo zoyipa.
4 Uti kwavari, ‘Zvanzi naJehovha: Kana musinganditeereri, uye musingateveri murayiro wangu, wandakaisa pamberi penyu,
Ukawawuze kuti, ‘Yehova akuti: Ngati simundimvera Ine ndi kuleka kutsatira malamulo anga, amene ndakupatsani,
5 uye kana musingateereri mashoko avaranda vangu ivo vaprofita, vandakatuma ndikatumazve kwamuri (Kunyange musina kuteerera),
ndipo ngati simumvera mawu a atumiki anga, aneneri amene ndakhala ndikukutumizirani, ngakhale kuti simunawamvere,
6 ipapo ndichaita kuti imba ino ive seShiro uye guta rino kuti rive chinhu chinotukwa pakati pendudzi dzose dzepanyika.’”
ndiye kuti Ine ndidzasandutsa Nyumba ino kukhala ngati Silo ndipo mzinda uno udzakhala chinthu chotembereredwa pakati pa mitundu yonse ya pa dziko lapansi.’”
7 Vaprista navaprofita navanhu vose vakanzwa Jeremia achitaura mashoko aya ari mumba maJehovha.
Ansembe, aneneri ndi anthu onse anamva Yeremiya akuyankhula mawu amenewa mʼNyumba ya Yehova.
8 Asi Jeremia akati achangopedza kuudza vanhu vose zvose zvaakanga arayirwa naJehovha kuti ataure, vaprista navaprofita navanhu vose vakamubata vakati, “Unofanira kufa!
Yeremiya atangotsiriza kuwawuza anthu aja zonse zimene Yehova anamulamula kuti ayankhule, ansembe, aneneri pamodzi ndi anthu onse anamugwira ndipo anati, “Uyenera kuphedwa!
9 Unoprofitirei muzita raJehovha uchiti imba ino ichava seShiro uye guta rino richava dongo uye richashaya anogaramo?” Vanhu vose vakaunganira Jeremia mumba maJehovha.
Chifukwa chiyani walosera mʼdzina la Yehova kuti Nyumba ino idzakhala ngati Silo ndipo mzinda uno udzakhala wopanda anthu ngati chipululu?” Anthu onse anamuzungulira Yeremiya mʼNyumba ya Yehova.
10 Machinda eJudha akati anzwa nezvezvinhu izvi, vakakwidza vachibva kumuzinda wamambo vakaenda kuimba yaJehovha vakandogara pamukova wepaSuo Idzva weimba yaJehovha.
Koma nduna za ku Yuda zitamva zomwe zinachitikazi, zinanyamuka kuchokera ku nyumba yaufumu kupita ku Nyumba ya Yehova, nakakhala pamalo pawo, pa Chipata Chatsopano cha Nyumba ya Yehova.
11 Ipapo vaprista navaprofita vakati kumachinda nokuvanhu vose, “Munhu uyu anofanira kutongerwa rufu nokuti akaprofita zvakaipa pamusoro peguta rino. Mazvinzwira imi nenzeve dzenyu!”
Pamenepo ansembe ndi aneneri anawuza ndunazo pamodzi ndi anthu onse kuti, “Munthu uyu ayenera kuphedwa chifukwa amalosera zoyipira mzinda uno. Inu mwadzimvera nokha zimenezi!”
12 Ipapo Jeremia akati kumachinda ose nokuvanhu vose, “Jehovha akandituma kuzoprofita pamusoro peimba ino napamusoro peguta rino, zvinhu zvose zvamakanzwa.
Ndipo Yeremiya anawuza nduna zija ndi anthu onse kuti, “Yehova anandituma kunenera mawu onse amene mwawamva otsutsa Nyumba ino ndi mzinda uno.
13 Zvino, chinatsai nzira dzenyu nezviito zvenyu muteerere Jehovha Mwari wenyu. Ipapo Jehovha achazvidemba akarega kuuyisa pamusoro penyu njodzi yaakareva.
Tsopano konzani njira zanu ndi zochita zanu ndipo mverani Yehova Mulungu wanu. Mukatero ndiye kuti Yehova adzaleka osakupatsani chilango chimene ankati akupatseni.
14 Asi kana ndirini, ndiri mumaoko enyu; itai henyu zvamunofunga pamusoro pangu sezvamunoona zvakanaka uye zvakarurama.
Kunena za ine, ndili mʼmanja mwanu; mundichite chilichonse chimene mukuganiza kuti ndi chabwino ndi choyenera.
15 Kunyange zvakadaro hazvo, zivai kuti, kana mukandiuraya muchamisa mhosva yeropa risina mhaka pamusoro penyu uye napamusoro peguta rino, nepamusoro pevose vanogara mariri, nokuti zvirokwazvo Jehovha akandituma kwamuri kuti nditaure mashoko ose aya munzeve dzenyu.”
Komatu dziwani kuti ngati mundipha, inu pamodzi ndi mzinda uno ndi onse amene amakhala muno, mudzapalamula mlandu wokhetsa magazi a munthu wosalakwa. Ndithudi Yehova anandituma kuti ndidzayankhule mawu onsewa inu mukumva.”
16 Ipapo machinda navanhu vose vakati kuvaprista nokuvaprofita, “Munhu uyu haafaniri kutongerwa rufu! Ataura kwatiri muzita raJehovha Mwari wedu.”
Pamenepo ndunazo pamodzi ndi anthu onse anawuza ansembe ndi aneneri kuti, “Munthu uyu sayenera kuphedwa! Pakuti wayankhula kwa ife mʼdzina la Yehova Mulungu wathu.”
17 Vamwe vavakuru venyika vakasimuka vakati kuungano yose yavanhu,
Akuluakulu ena a mʼdzikomo anayimirira ndi kuwuza gulu lonse la anthu kuti,
18 “Mikaya wokuMorasheti akaprofita pamazuva aHezekia mambo weJudha. Akaudza vanhu vose veJudha kuti, ‘Zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose: “‘Zioni richarimwa somunda, Jerusarema richava murwi wamabwe, negomo retemberi richava chikomo chakamera miti.’
“Mʼmasiku a Hezekiya mfumu ya ku Yuda, Mika wa ku Moreseti ankalosera. Iye ankawuza anthu kuti Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, “‘Ziyoni adzatipulidwa ngati munda, Yerusalemu adzasanduka bwinja, ndipo phiri la Nyumba ya Mulungu lidzasanduka nkhalango yowirira.’
19 Ko, Hezekia mambo weJudha kana mumwewo zvake weJudha ndiye akamuuraya here? Ko, Hezekia haana kutya Jehovha akatsvaka nyasha dzake here? Uye Jehovha haana kuzvidemba, akarega kuuyisa njodzi yaakanga ataura pamusoro pavo here? Tava kuda kuzviunzira dambudziko rakaipisisa pamusoro pedu!”
Kodi Hezekiya mfumu ya ku Yuda ndi anthu onse anamupha amene uja? Kodi suja mfumu inaopa Yehova ndi kupempha kuti ayikomere mtima? Ndipo suja Yehova anasintha maganizo ake nʼkuleka kuwalanga monga mʼmene anakonzera? Ifetu tikudziyitanira tsoka lalikulu!”
20 (Zvino Uria mwanakomana waShemaya aibva kuKiriati Tearimi ndiye mumwe murume akaprofita muzita raJehovha; akaprofita zvinhu zvimwe chetezvo pamusoro peguta rino nenyika ino sezvakangoitwawo naJeremia.
(Panalinso munthu wina, Uriya mwana wa Semaya wa ku Kiriati-Yeyarimu, amene ankalosera mʼdzina la Yehova. Iyeyu analosera za mzinda uno ndi dziko lino monga mmene wachitira Yeremiya.
21 Mambo Jehoyakimi namakurukota ake ose namachinda ake vakati vanzwa mashoko ake, mambo akatsvaka kumuuraya. Asi Uria akazvinzwa akatya ndokubva atizira kuIjipiti.
Mfumu Yehoyakimu, ankhondo ake onse ndi nduna zake anamva mawu akewo, ndipo anafuna kumupha. Koma Uriya atamva zimenezi, anachita mantha nathawira ku Igupto.
22 Kunyange zvakadaro, mambo Jehoyakimi akatuma Erinatani mwanakomana waAkibhori kuIjipiti, pamwe chete navamwe varume.

23 Vakabudisa Uria kubva kuIjipiti vakamuendesa kuna Mambo Jehoyakimi uyo akaita kuti aurayiwe uye mutumbi wake ukakandwa kunzvimbo yaivigirwa vanhuwo zvavo).
Iwo anakamutenga Uriya ku Igupto kuja nabwera naye kwa Mfumu Yehoyakimu. Iye anamupha ndi lupanga ndipo mtembo wake anakawutaya ku manda a anthu wamba).
24 Pamusoro paizvozvo Ahikami mwanakomana waShafani akatsigira Jeremia, nokudaro haana kuzoiswa mumaoko avanhu kuti aurayiwe.
Koma Ahikamu mwana wa Safani ndiye anateteza Yeremiya, motero sanamupereke kwa anthu kuti amuphe.
