Gedaliya ashwekuula Yeremiya
1 Uyo Nebuzaradani, umukulu waꞌbasirikaani ba mwami, anagwana Yeremiya i Rama, ashwesirwi iminyororo kuguma naꞌbandi bandu beꞌYerusaleemu naꞌbeꞌBuyuda, kwo batwalwe imbohe i Babeeri. Kwokwo, anamúshwekuuza. Ha nyuma, Yeremiya analonga igambo imwa Nahano.
2 Iri Nebuzaradani akabona Yeremiya, anamúbwira: «Ewe! Si Rurema Nahamwinyu âli mali gwanwa amùkengula, kwo kino kihugo kigashereezibwa!
3 Aaho! Buno, keera agiraga nga kwo akagwanwa adeta. Na íbitumiri kigashereezibwa, bwo mwe Bayuda mweshi mwâli kizi yifunda mu byaha imbere lyage, mutanâli kizi músimbaha.
4 «Kundu kwokwo, buno ino minyororo, ngakushwekuula yo, unagende ngiisi ho uloziizi. Iri wangasiima kwo tugendanwe i Babeeri, bwija naaho! Iyo munda, ngakizi kukuya-kuya. Neꞌri utangasiima kwo tugendanwe, uhangwirwi ukusigala hano. Kino kihugo kyoshi, kiryagagi imbere lyawe. Aaho! Ngiisi ho uloziizi ukugenda, ho na haaho.
5 «Iri wangasigala, ugalukirage Gedaliya mugala Ahikaamu, mwijukulu Safanu. Mukuba mwami Nebukandeneza keera akamútoola, anamúyimika kwo abe mutwali waꞌBayuda booshi ábakasigala mu kihugo kyabo. Ku yukwo, wangamúgwana, gira mutuulanwe naꞌbandi ábasigiiri. Ngiisi ho uloziizi ukugenda, ho na haaho.»
Haaho, uyo mukulu anaheereza Yeremiya indanda, kuguma noꞌlutengu, abuli múseezera.
6 Kwokwo, Yeremiya anashokola injira, halinde i Misipa, imunda Gedaliya mugala Ahikaamu. Banatuulanwa yo, kuguma naꞌbandi bandu ábâli sigiiri mu kihugo.
7 Mu kishuka, hâli ki riiri abasirikaani baguma baꞌBayuda, kuguma naꞌbakulu baabo. Banayuvwa kwo mwami weꞌBabeeri keera akatoola Gedaliya, kwo abe mutwali wa banakahuku ábâli sigiiri i Buyuda, kuli kudeta abashosi, naꞌbakazi, naꞌbaana, balya ábatakatwalwa i Babeeri.
8 Kwokwo, yabo basirikaani banagendera Gedaliya iyo munda i Misipa. Mu kati kaabo, hâli riiri Hishimaheeri mugala Netaniya, na Yohanani, na Yonataani bagala Kareya, na Seraya mugala Tahumeti, na bagala Hefaayi umutuulaga weꞌNetofa, na Yezaniya mugala Makaati, kuguma naꞌbandu baabo.
9 Uyo Gedaliya anabiika indahiro imbere lyabo booshi, ti: «Yaba Bababeeri, mutakizi bayoboha! Si mubeere mwomuno mu kihugo, munakizi kolera mwami wabo. Kwokwo, lyo mugakizi genduukirwa.
10 Nienyene, ngabeera i Misipa. Neꞌkyanya Abababeeri bagakizi yija, nie gakizi mùdetera. Si mujeberere mu twaya twinyu. Mukizi yimbula imizabibu, neꞌbindi bitumbwe byeꞌkikamo, kiri naꞌmavuta, munakizi bisingula mu bihinda.»
11 Abandi Bayuda, imunda bâli shabukiiri i mahanga, banayuvwa kwo mwami weꞌBabeeri akasiga Abayuda baguma mu kihugo kyabo. Banayuvwa na kwo akayimika Gedaliya abe mutwali wabo. Hali ábâli riiri mu Bamohabu, na mu Bahamooni, na mu Bahedoomu, na mu gandi mahanga.
12 Yabo booshi, iri bakayuvwa kwokwo, banasholooloka imunda bâli shabukiiri, banayiji gwana Gedaliya iyo munda i Misipa, mu kihugo kyeꞌBuyuda. Banakizi yimbula imizabibu mingi bweneene, neꞌbindi bitumbwe byeꞌkikamo íbiri tiita, iri banabisingula mu bihinda.
13 Iri hakaba lusiku luguma, Yohanani mugala Kareya, analyokaga mu kishuka, ali kuguma naꞌbandi bakulu baꞌbasirikaani banahikira i Misipa, áhali Gedaliya.
14 Banamúbuuza: «Ewe! Ka utayiji kwoꞌmwami Balisi waꞌBahamooni alungika Hishimaheeri, mugala Netaniya, mbu ayiji kuyita?» Gedaliya, mbu ayuvwe kwokwo, atanayemeera.
15 Ha nyuma, Yohanani anaganuuza Gedaliya ku bumbishwa i Misipa, ti: «Ewe! Umbanguule ngendi yita Hishimaheeri, mugala Netaniya. Ndaaye mundu úgaamenya. Iri twangamúleka, yehe agayiji kuyita. Iri angagira kwokwo, lyaꞌBayuda booshi bo mukoli tuliinwi bagashubi shaabuka. Na ábagasigala banaminikwe.»
16 Haliko, Gedaliya anashuvya: «Utakolwe! Ngiisi byo udesiri hiꞌgulu lya Hishimaheeri, ugweti ugamúbangaaniza ngana.»
