Yeremia 24
1 Bwana alinionyeshea kitu. Tazama, vikapu viwili vya tini viliwekwa mbele ya hekalu la Bwana. (Maono haya yalitokea baada ya Nebukadreza, mfalme wa Babeli, kumchukua mateka Yekonia mwana wa Yehoyakimu, mfalme wa Yuda, maofisa wa Yuda, mafundi na wafua vyuma kutoka Yerusalemu na kuwapeleka Babeli.)
Naʻe fakahā [ha meʻa ]kiate au ʻe Sihova, pea vakai, ko e kato fiki ʻe ua naʻe tuku ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, ʻi he hili hono fetuku fakapōpula ʻe Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻa Sekonia ko e foha ʻo Sihoiakimi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea mo e ngaahi houʻeiki ʻo Siuta, mo e kau tufunga, mo e kau tufunga ukamea, mei Selūsalema, pea ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki Papilone.
2 Kikapu kimoja cha tini kilikuwa nzuri sana, kama tini za kwanza zilizoiva, lakini kikapu kingine cha tini zilizokuwa mbaya sana zisizoweza kuliwa.
Ko e ngaahi fiki lelei ʻaupito ʻi he kato ʻe taha, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi fiki ʻoku tomuʻa momoho: pea naʻe ʻi he kato ʻe taha ʻae ngaahi fiki kovi ʻaupito, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai faʻa kai, koeʻuhi ko ʻenau kovi.
3 Bwana akaniambia, “Unaona nini Yeremia?” Nikasema, “Tini. Tini ambazo ni nzuri sana na tini ambazo ni mbaya sana haziwezi kuliwa.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “Selemaia, ko e hā ʻoku ke mamata ki ai?” Pea naʻaku pehē, “Ko e ngaahi fiki: ko e ngaahi fiki lelei, ʻoku lelei ʻaupito; pea ko ia ʻoku kovi ʻoku kovi ʻaupito, ʻoku ʻikai faʻa kai, koeʻuhi ko ʻenau kovi.”
4 Ndipo neno la Bwana likanijia, kusema,
Pea naʻe toe hoko kiate au ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē,
5 “Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, asema hivi: nitawaangalia mateka wa Yuda kwa manufaa yao, kama vile tini hizi nzuri, nilipowatoa mateka kutoka hapa mpaka nchi ya Wakaldayo.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; “Te u fakaʻilonga pehē ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi fiki lelei, ʻakinautolu ʻo Siuta kuo ʻave fakapōpula, ʻakinautolu kuo u kapusi ʻi he fonua ni ki he fonua ʻoe kau Kalitia koeʻuhi ke nau lelei ai.
6 Nitaweka macho yangu kwao wapate mema na kuwarejeshea nchi hii. Nitawajenga, wala sitawaangamiza.
He te u fakahanga hoku fofonga kiate kinautolu koeʻuhi ke nau lelei, pea te u toe ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he fonua ni: pea te u langaʻi ʻakinautolu, pea ʻe ʻikai vete hifo; pea te u tō ʻakinautolu, pea ʻe ʻikai taʻaki ʻakinautolu.
7 Nitawapanda, wala sitawang'oa. Ndipo nitawapa moyo wa kunijua; kwa kuwa mimi ndimi Bwana. Watakuwa watu wangu na mimi nitakuwa Mungu wao, hivyo watanirudia kwa moyo wao yote.
Pea te u foaki kiate kinautolu ha loto ke nau ʻiloʻi au, koeʻuhi ko au ko Sihova: pea te nau hoko ko hoku kakai, pea te u hoko ko honau ʻOtua: he te nau tafoki kiate au ʻaki honau loto kotoa.
8 Lakini kama vile tini mbaya ambazo ni hazifai kuliwa - asema Bwana - nitatenda hivi kwa Sedekia, mfalme wa Yuda, pamoja na viongozi wake, na pamoja na wengine wa Yerusalemu ambao wanabaki katika nchi hii au kwenda kukaa katika nchi ya Misri.
“Pea hangē ko e ngaahi fiki kovi, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai faʻa kai, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau kovi; ʻoku pehē moʻoni ʻe Sihova, Te u foaki pehē ʻa Setikia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea mo hono ngaahi houʻeiki, pea mo hono toe ʻo Selūsalema, ʻaia ʻoku toe ʻi he fonua, pea ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
9 Nitawafanya kuwa kitu cha kutisha, wapate maafa, mbele ya falme zote duniani, aibu na somo kwa mithali, matusi, na laana mahali pote nitakapowafukuza.
Pea te u tukuange ʻakinautolu ke ʻave ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani ki he mamahi, mo e fakamā, mo e ongoongo kovi, ko e manukiʻanga mo e malaʻia, ʻi he ngaahi potu kotoa pē ʻaia te u kapusi ʻakinautolu ki ai.
10 Nitatuma upanga, njaa, na tauni dhidi yao watapotelea mbali kutoka kwenye nchi niliyowapa wao na baba zao.”
Pea te u fekau kiate kinautolu ʻae heletā, mo e honge, pea mo e mahaki fakaʻauha, kaeʻoua ke fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu mei he funga fonua ʻaia naʻaku foaki kiate kinautolu mo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.”
