Yeremiya
4 Yehova aravuga ati: “Isirayeli we, nungarukira,
Ukagaruka aho ndi,
Kandi ugakura ibigirwamana byawe biteye iseseme imbere yanjye,
Ntuzongera kuba inzererezi.+
2 Nurahira uhuje n’ukuri,
Ubutabera no gukiranuka, ukarahira imbere ya Yehova,
Ni bwo ibihugu bizihesha umugisha binyuze kuri we
Kandi bikihesha ikuzo binyuze kuri we.”+
3 Yehova yabwiye abantu b’i Buyuda n’i Yerusalemu ati:
“Nimuhinge ubutaka bukwiriye guhingwa
Kandi ntimukomeze gutera imyaka mu mahwa.+
4 Yemwe abatuye i Buyuda n’i Yerusalemu,
Mukebe imitima yanyu,
Kugira ngo uburakari bwanjye butagurumana nk’umuriro,
Bugatwika ku buryo nta wabasha kubuzimya,
Bitewe n’ibikorwa byanyu bibi.”+
5 Mubivuge mu Buyuda, mubitangaze i Yerusalemu.
Musakuze kandi muvuze ihembe mu gihugu hose.+
Muvuge ijwi ryumvikana cyane muti: “Muhurire hamwe
Maze duhungire mu mijyi ikikijwe n’inkuta.+
6 Mushinge ikimenyetso* cyerekeye i Siyoni.
Mushake aho mwihisha kandi ntimugume hamwe.”
Kuko ngiye guteza ibyago biturutse mu majyaruguru,+ irimbuka rikomeye.
7 Yaje ameze nk’intare iturutse mu gihuru yari yihishemo.+
Usenya ibihugu yamaze kuza.+
Yavuye iwe azanywe no guhindura igihugu cyawe ikintu giteye ubwoba.
Imijyi yawe izasenywa ku buryo izasigara nta bantu bayituyemo.+
8 None rero, nimwambare imyenda y’akababaro,*+
Mugire agahinda* kandi murire,
Kuko uburakari bugurumana bwa Yehova butaratuvaho.
9 Yehova aravuga ati: “Icyo gihe, umutima w’umwami uzagira ubwoba+
N’imitima y’abatware igire ubwoba,
Abatambyi bahahamuke n’abahanuzi bumirwe.”+
10 Nuko ndavuga nti: “Yehova Mwami w’Ikirenga! Ni ukuri wabeshye aba bantu+ na Yerusalemu, uti: ‘muzagira amahoro,’+ none dore inkota iri ku majosi yacu.”*
11 Icyo gihe bazabwira abo bantu na Yerusalemu bati:
“Umuyaga utwika uturutse ku misozi iriho ubusa yo mu butayu,
Uzahuha ugana ku mukobwa* w’abantu banjye.
Si umuyaga wo kugosora cyangwa gusukura.
12 Umuyaga uhuha cyane uje uturutse muri ibyo bice kuko ari njye ubitegetse.
Ubu rero, ngiye gutangaza imanza nabaciriye.
Amafarashi ye arihuta cyane kurusha ibisiga bya kagoma.+
Tugushije ishyano kuko turimbutse.
14 Yerusalemu we, sukura umutima wawe, uwukuremo ibibi byose kugira ngo urokoke.+
Uzakomeza kugira ibitekerezo bibi kugeza ryari?
16 Nimubivuge; yego, nimubibwire ibihugu.
Mubitangarize Yerusalemu.”
“Abarinzi* baje baturutse mu gihugu kiri kure
Kandi imijyi y’u Buyuda bazayivugiriza induru.
17 Bateye Yerusalemu bayiturutse impande zose nk’abarinzi b’umurima,+
Kuko yanyigometseho.”+ Ni ko Yehova avuga.
18 “Imyifatire yawe n’ibikorwa byawe ni byo bizatuma uhanwa.+
Ibyago bizakugeraho bizaba ari bibi cyane,
Kuko bigera no ku mutima wawe.”
19 Mbega agahinda,* mbega agahinda!
Mfite umubabaro mwinshi mu mutima wanjye!*
Umutima wanjye wambujije amahoro.
Sinshobora guceceka,
Kuko numvise* ijwi ry’ihembe,
20 Hatangajwe ko hagiye kubaho ibyago bikurikiranye,
Kuko igihugu cyose cyarimbutse.
Amahema yanjye yashenywe mu buryo butunguranye,
Asenywa mu kanya gato.+
Ni abana b’abaswa, badatekereza.
Bazi ubwenge bwo gukora ibibi,
Ariko ntibazi gukora ibyiza.”
23 Nitegereje igihugu mbona kirimo ubusa kandi kitagituwe.+
Nitegereje ijuru mbona urumuri rwaryo ntirukiriho.+
26 Nitegereje igihugu kirimo ibiti byera imbuto mbona cyahindutse ubutayu
N’imijyi yacyo yose yarashenywe.+
Ibyo byose byakozwe na Yehova,
Bitewe n’uburakari bwe bugurumana.
Bahungiye mu bihuru,
Bahungira no mu bitare.+
Imijyi yose yaratawe,
Nta muntu ukiyibamo.”
30 None se ko urimbuwe uzabigenza ute?
Wajyaga wambara imyenda y’umutuku,
Ukambara imirimbo ya zahabu
Kandi ukisiga irangi ry’umukara ku maso.
31 Numvise ijwi rimeze nk’iry’umugore urwaye,
Numva ijwi ry’ububabare nk’iry’umugore urimo kubyara umwana we wa mbere,
Ijwi ry’umukobwa w’i Siyoni uhumeka nabi.
Avuga ateze ibiganza ati:+
“Ngushije ishyano, kuko naniwe cyane* bitewe n’abicanyi!”
