Anandionetsa madenguwo pambuyo poti Nebukadinezara* mfumu ya Babulo watenga Yekoniya*+ mwana wa Yehoyakimu,+ mfumu ya Yuda, pamodzi ndi akalonga a Yuda, amisiri komanso anthu osula zitsulo,* kuchoka ku Yerusalemu nʼkupita nawo ku ukapolo ku Babulo.+ 2 Dengu limodzi linali ndi nkhuyu zabwino kwambiri ngati nkhuyu zoyambirira kucha. Koma dengu lina linali ndi nkhuyu zoipa kwambiri. Zinali zoipa kwambiri moti munthu sakanatha kuzidya.
3 Kenako Yehova anandifunsa kuti: “Kodi ukuona chiyani Yeremiya?” Ndipo ine ndinayankha kuti: “Ndikuona nkhuyu. Nkhuyu zabwino, nʼzabwino kwambiri koma nkhuyu zoipa, nʼzoipa kwambiri. Ndi zoipa kwambiri moti munthu sangadye.”+
4 Ndiyeno Yehova anandiuza kuti: 5 “Yehova Mulungu wa Isiraeli wanena kuti, ‘Anthu amene anatengedwa ku Yuda kupita ku ukapolo, amene ndinawachotsa mʼdziko lino nʼkuwatumiza kudziko la Akasidi ali ngati nkhuyu zabwino zimenezi. Ndidzawaona kuti ndi anthu abwino. 6 Maso anga adzakhala pa iwo kuti ndiwachitire zabwino ndipo ndidzachititsa kuti abwerere mʼdziko lino.+ Ndidzachititsa kuti zinthu ziziwayendera bwino ndipo sindidzawawononga.
