yeremiya 24:1-10

Nebukadinezari umwami w’i Babuloni yajyanye Yekoniya mwene Yehoyakimu umwami w’u Buyuda ho imbohe, hamwe n’ibikomangoma by’u Buyuda n’ababaji n’abacuzi, abakuye i Yerusalemu akabajyana i Babuloni. Icyo gihe Uwiteka yaranyeretse mbona ibitebo bibiri birimo imbuto z’umutini, biteretswe imbere y’urusengero rw’Uwiteka.

Igitebo kimwe cyarimo imbuto nziza cyane, nk’iz’umwimambere, icya kabiri cyarimo imbuto mbi cyane, zitaribwa kuko ari mbi.

Maze Uwiteka arambaza ati “Yeremiya, ubonye iki?” Nti “Mbonye imbuto z’umutini, inziza ni nziza cyane, imbi ni mbi rwose, ndetse ntizaribwa kuko ari mbi cyane.”

Maze ijambo ry’Uwiteka rinzaho riti

“Uku ni ko Uwiteka Imana ya Isirayeli ivuze ngo ‘Uko umenye izo mbuto nziza ni ko nzamenya imbohe z’u Buyuda, izo nakuye aha nkazijyana mu gihugu cy’Abakaludaya, kugira ngo nzigirire neza.

Kuko nzabahangaho amaso y’urukundo kugira ngo mbagirire neza, kandi nzabagarura muri iki gihugu. Nzabubakira kandi sinzongera kubasenyera, nzabatera bamere, kandi sinzabarandura.

Nzabaha umutima wo kumenya yuko ari jye Uwiteka, bazaba ubwoko bwanjye nanjye nzaba Imana yabo, kuko bazangarukira n’umutima wabo wose.’

“Ni ukuri Uwiteka aravuga ati ‘Uko izo mbuto zari mbi bituma zitaribwa, ni ko nzagenza Sedekiya umwami w’u Buyuda n’ibikomangoma bye, n’abatuye i Yerusalemu bari basigaye muri iki gihugu, n’abatuye mu gihugu cyo muri Egiputa.

Nzabatanga kugira ngo bateraganwe mu bihugu byose byo mu isi, bakozwe isoni kandi babe iciro ry’umugani, batukwe aho nzabirukanira hose kandi bahavumirwe.

Kandi nzabagabiza inkota, mbateze n’inzara n’icyorezo, kugeza ubwo bazashiraho mu gihugu nari nabahanye na ba se.’ ”
