2 Brɛ a ɔsahene a ɔtua awɛmfoɔ no ano no hunuu Yeremia no, ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn, na ɔhyɛɛ saa amanehunu yi maa beaeɛ yi.
Mtsogoleriyu anamupeza Yeremiya, anamuwuza kuti, “Yehova Mulungu wako analengeza kale zakuti malo ano adzawonongedwa.
3 Na afei, Awurade ama aba mu. Wayɛ sɛdeɛ ɔkaa sɛ ɔbɛyɛ no. Yeinom nyinaa baa mu, ɛfiri sɛ, mo saa nnipa yi yɛɛ bɔne tiaa Awurade na moanyɛ ɔsetie amma no.

Koma tsopano taona, lero ndikukumasula unyolo umene unali mʼmanja mwako. Ngati ukufuna kupita nane ku Babuloni, tiye ndipo adzakusamala bwino. Koma ngati sukufuna kupita, ndiye usapite. Dziko ndi limeneli monga ukulioneramo. Uli ndi ufulu kupita kulikonse kumene ukufuna.”
5 Na ansa na Yeremia bɛdane ne ho akɔ no, Nebusaradan ka kaa ho sɛ, “Sane kɔ Ahikam babarima Gedalia a, ɔyɛ Safan nana, a Babiloniahene apa no sɛ ɔnhwɛ Yuda nkuro so no nkyɛn na wo ne no nkɔtena wɔ nnipa no mu, anaasɛ kɔ baabi foforɔ biara a wopɛ.” Na ɔsahene no maa Yeremia aduane ne akyɛdeɛ, na ɔmaa no kɔeɛ.

Ukakhale naye pakati pa anthu, kapena upite kulikonse ukufuna.” Ndipo mtsogoleri uja anamupatsa Yeremiya chakudya ndi mphatso zina ndi kumulola kuti apite.
6 Enti, Yeremia kɔɔ Ahikam babarima Gedalia nkyɛn wɔ Mispa, na ɔne no tenaa nnipa a wɔkaa wɔ asase no so no mu.
