1 Ijambo ryatumwe kuri Yeremiya rivuye k’Uhoraho, rigenewe abantu bose b’i Buyuda, mu mwaka ugira kane Yehoyakimu mwene Yosiya umwami w’i Buyuda ari ku ngoma, ukaba wari umwaka wa mbere Nebukadineza umwami w’i Babiloni ari ku ngoma. 2 Nuko Yeremiya uwavugishwa n’Imana abwira abantu bose b’i Buyuda n’ababa i Yerusalemu ati: 3 Kumara imyaka mirongo ibiri n’itatu, uhereye umwaka ugira icumi na gatatu Yosiya mwene Amoni umwami w’i Buyuda ari ku ngoma kugeza n’uwu musi, Uhoraho yampaye ijambo ndababwira kandi navuganye namwe ibihe vyinshi, ariko ntimwumva.

4 Kandi naho Uhoraho yarungitse abasavyi biwe yavugisha kuri mwebwe kenshi yongera yisubiriza, ntimwumviye canke ngo mubishireko umutima. 5 Barababwiye bati: "Hindukira, umwe wese ave mu nzira ziwe mbi n’ibikorwa vyiwe bibi, maze muzoshobore kuguma mu gihugu Uhoraho yabahaye mwebwe na ba sogokuruza banyu ibihe vyose. 6 Mureke gukurikira izindi mana, kuzikorera no kuzisaba, ntimundatse n’ibikorwa vy’intoke zanyu, maze nanje nta co nzobagira."

7 "Ariko ntimwanyumviye," ni ko Uhoraho avuze, "maze murandatsa mundakishije ibikorwa vy’intoke zanyu, bituma mwikwegera ingorane."

8 Ni co gituma Uhoraho Mushoboravyose avuze ibi: "Ko mutumviye amajambo yanje, 9 nzohamagaza amahanga yose yo mu buraruko n’umusavyi wanje Nebukadineza umwami w’i Babiloni," ni ko Uhoraho avuze, "maze batere iki gihugu n’abakibamwo n’amahanga yose ahakikuje. Nzobarandura ndabaherengeteze, kandi ndabahindure agaterabwoba n’abo kwankwa habe umusaka ibihe vyose. 10 Nzokuraho amajwi y’umunezero, n’imisi mikuru, amajwi y’umukwe n’umugeni, ijwi ry’urusyo n’umuco w’itara. 11 Iki gihugu cose kizohinduka umusaka, kandi aya mahanga azokorera umwami w’i Babiloni kumara imyaka mirongo indwi.

12 Ariko, iyo myaka mirongo indwi niyashira, nzohana uwo mwami w’i Babiloni n’ihanga ryiwe, igihugu c’Abanyababiloni, kubera ukugabitanya kwabo," ni ko Uhoraho avuze, "maze ndahahindure umusaka ibihe vyose. 13 Nzoshitsa kuri ico gihugu ibintu vyose navuze ko nzogiteza, vya bindi vyose vyanditswe muri iki gitabu vyavugishijwe na Yeremiya ku mahanga yose. 14 Bo ubwabo bazoba abagurano b’amahanga menshi n’abami bakomeye; nzobasubiriza mu nkoko ibikorwa bakoze n’ivyo bakoresheje intoke zabo."

15 Ibi ni vyo Uhoraho, Imana ya Isirayeli, yambwiye, ati: "Akira iki gikombe kiri mu ntoke zanje cuzuye umuvinyu w’uburake bwanje maze ukinyweshe amahanga yose nzogutumako. 16 Nibakinywako, bazozungurirwa badandabagirane kubera inkota nzoba ndungitse hagati muri bo."

17 Nuko nakira ico gikombe mu kuboko kw’Uhoraho ndakinywesha amahanga yose Uhoraho yantumyeko.

18 Yerusalemu n’ibisagara vy’i Buyuda, abami baho n’abaganwa, ngo bihinduke imisaka n’ahantu hateye ubwoba ho gucokorwa no kuvumwa, nk’uko biri uwu musi;

19 Farawo umwami w’i Egiputa, abasavyi biwe, abaganwa biwe n’abantu biwe bose; 20 n’abanyamahanga bose baba aho;

abami bose bo muri Uzi;

abami bose bo mu Bafilisitiya (abo muri Ashikeloni, i Gaza, i Ekuroni, n’abantu basigaye i Ashidodi);

21 muri Edomu, i Mowabu n’i Amoni;

22 abami bose b’i Tiro n’i Sidoni;

abami bo mu bizinga biri hakurya y’ikiyaga;

23 i Dedani, i Tema, i Buzi n’abari kure;

24 abami bose b’i Arabiya n’abami bose bo mu bihugu vy’abanyamahanga baba mu bugaragwa;

25 abami bose b’i Zimuri, i Elamu n’i Mediya;

26 n’abami bose bo mu buraruko, abo hafi n’abari kure, uko bakurikirana, ubwami bwose buri kw’isi.

Kandi inyuma yabwo bwose, umwami w’i Sheshaki na we nyene azonywako.

27 Maze uze ubabwire uti: "Uku ni ko Uhoraho Mushoboravyose, Imana y’Abisirayeli, avuze: ‘Nimunywe kandi muborerwe maze mudahwe, hanyuma mugwe ubutakivyuka kubera inkota nzorungika muri mwebwe.’ 28 Ariko nibanka kwakira igikombe kiri mu kuboko kwawe ngo bakinywereko, uze ubabwire uti: ‘Uku ni ko Uhoraho Mushoboravyose avuze: Mutegerezwa kukinywako! 29 Raba, ntanguye guteza icago iki gisagara citirirwa izina ryanje, none muzogenda mudahanywe? Ntimuzogenda mudahanywe, kuko mpamagaye inkota ngo ize ku bari mw’isi bose, ni ko Uhoraho Mushoboravyose avuze.’

30 Nuko rero nuvugishwe aya majambo yose kuri bo, ubabwire uti:

‘Uhoraho azokwivuga ari iyo hejuru;

azoturagara ari ahera hiwe

maze yivuge n’inkomezi atontomera iki gihugu.

Azosemerera nk’abadandaza inzabibu,

akankamire ababa kw’isi yose.

31 Urwo rwamo ruzokwumvikana gushika ku mpera z’isi,

kuko Uhoraho azokwagiriza amahanga;

azocira amateka abantu bose

maze yicishe inkota ababi bose,’ "

ni ko Uhoraho avuze.

32 Uku ni ko Uhoraho Mushoboravyose avuze:

"Raba, icago kiriko kirakwira hose

kiva kw’ihanga kija ku rindi;

isegenya ihambaye iraje

iva ku mpera y’isi ija ku yindi."

33 Muri ico gihe abasogoswe n’Uhoraho bazoba ahantu hose, kuva ku mpera y’isi imwe gushika ku yindi. Ntibazogandarirwa canke ngo begeranywe canke ngo bahambwe, ahubwo bazoba nk’amase yandagaye ku musozi.

34 Murire muboroge, yemwe bungere;

mwitembagaze mu mukungugu, yemwe bakuru b’umukuku.

Kuko igihe canyu co kwicishwa inkota gishitse;

muzogwa hasi nk’ikibumbano c’igiciro.

35 Abungere ntibazoronka aho bahungira,

abarongoye umukuku nta buhungiro bazoronka.

36 Umve amaborogo y’abungere,

ugutakamba kw’abarongoye umukuku,

kuko Uhoraho aranduye rwose uburagiro.

37 Uburagiro butotahaye bubaye uruharabuga

kubera uburake buhambaye bw’Uhoraho.

38 Azoheba ikibundo ciwe nk’intambwe,

kandi igihugu cabo kizoba umusaka

kubera inkota y’uwuhonya

no kubera uburake bw’inkazi bw’Uhoraho.
