Yeremiya
17 “Icyaha cy’ab’i Buyuda cyandikishijwe ikaramu y’icyuma.
Cyandikishijwe igikoresho cyo kwandika gikozwe muri diyama ku mitima yabo
No ku mahembe y’ibicaniro byabo.
2 Abana babo bibuka ibicaniro byabo n’inkingi z’ibiti* zo gusengwa,+
Biri iruhande rw’igiti gitoshye ku dusozi tureture,+
3 Ku misozi yo mu giturage.
Nzatuma abasahuzi batwara ibintu byanyu n’ubutunzi bwanyu bwose;+
Bazatwara ibintu byanyu biri ahantu hirengeye, bitewe n’ibyaha byakorewe mu turere twanyu twose.+
4 Uzemera gutanga umurage naguhaye ku bushake,+
Nanjye nzatuma ukorera abanzi bawe mu gihugu utazi,+
Kuko watumye uburakari bwanjye bwaka nk’umuriro,*+
Buzakomeza kwaka iteka ryose.”
5 Yehova aravuga ati:
“Havumwe* umuntu* wiringira abantu basanzwe,+
Akishingikiriza ku mbaraga z’umuntu*+
Kandi umutima we wararetse Yehova.
6 Azaba nk’igiti kiri cyonyine mu butayu.
Ikintu cyiza nikiramuka kije ntazakibona;
Ahubwo azatura ahantu humagaye mu butayu,
Mu gihugu cy’umunyu, umuntu adashobora kubamo.
8 Azamera nk’igiti cyatewe iruhande rw’amazi,
Imizi yacyo ikamanuka ikagera mu mugezi.
Nihaza ubushyuhe nta cyo azaba,
Ahubwo amababi ye azakomeza gutohagira.+
Mu mwaka urimo izuba ryinshi ntazahangayika
Kandi ntazareka kwera imbuto.
9 Umutima urusha ibindi bintu byose gushukana kandi ni mubi cyane.*+
Ni nde wawumenya?
10 Njyewe Yehova ni njye ugenzura umutima,+
Nkagenzura n’ibitekerezo by’imbere cyane,*
Ngaha buri wese ibihwanye n’imyifatire ye
N’ibihuje n’ibikorwa bye.+
Buzamucika iminsi yo kubaho kwe igeze hagati
Kandi amaherezo bizagaragara ko nta bwenge agira.”
13 Yehova wowe byiringiro bya Isirayeli,
Abakureka bose bazakorwa n’isoni.
Abahinduka abahakanyi bakakureka* bazandikwa ku mukungugu,+
Kuko baretse Yehova, we soko y’amazi atanga ubuzima.+
15 Hari abajya bambwira bati:
“Ese ibyo Yehova yavuze ko bitaba?+
Ngaho nibibe turebe!”
Uzi neza ibintu byose navuze.
Byose byabaye ubireba.
17 Ntuntererane ngo ngire ubwoba
Kuko ari wowe mpungiraho iyo mfite ibibazo.
Reka bagire ubwoba,
Ariko ntiwemere ko njye ngira ubwoba.
19 Yehova yarambwiye ati: “Genda uhagarare mu irembo ry’abana b’abantu, aho abami b’i Buyuda binjirira bakanahasohokera, uhagarare no mu marembo yose ya Yerusalemu.+ 20 Ubabwire uti: ‘mwa bami b’i Buyuda mwe, namwe mwese abatuye i Buyuda n’i Yerusalemu mwinjirira muri aya marembo, nimwumve ibyo Yehova avuga. 21 Yehova aravuga ati: “mwirinde* ntimukikorere umutwaro ku munsi w’Isabato cyangwa ngo muwinjize mu marembo y’i Yerusalemu.+ 22 Ntimukagire umutwaro muvana mu mazu yanyu ku munsi w’Isabato kandi ntimukagire umurimo uwo ari wo wose mukora.+ Mujye mweza umunsi w’Isabato, nk’uko nabitegetse ba sogokuruza banyu.+ 23 Ariko ntibigeze bumva cyangwa ngo batege amatwi, barinangiye banga* kumvira kandi ntibemera igihano.”’+
24 “‘Yehova aravuga ati: “ariko nimunyumvira mu buryo bwuzuye, ntimugire umutwaro munyuza mu marembo y’uyu mujyi ku munsi w’Isabato kandi mukeza umunsi w’Isabato ntimugire umurimo uwo ari wo wose muwukoraho,+ 25 icyo gihe abami n’abatware bicara ku ntebe y’ubwami ya Dawidi,+ bazinjira mu marembo y’uyu mujyi, bicaye mu magare no ku mafarashi, bo n’abatware babo n’abaturage b’i Buyuda n’ab’i Yerusalemu;+ abantu bazakomeza gutura muri uyu mujyi iteka ryose. 26 Abantu bazaza baturutse mu mijyi y’i Buyuda, mu turere dukikije Yerusalemu, mu gihugu cya Benyamini,+ mu kibaya,+ mu karere k’imisozi miremire n’i Negebu,* baze bazanye ibitambo bitwikwa n’umuriro,+ ibindi bitambo,+ amaturo y’ibinyampeke,+ ububani,* bazane n’ibitambo byo gushimira mu nzu ya Yehova.+
27 “‘“Ariko nimwanga kunyumvira, ntimweze umunsi w’Isabato mukikorera imitwaro kandi mukayinjiza mu marembo y’i Yerusalemu ku munsi w’Isabato, nzatwika amarembo yayo kandi uwo muriro uzatwika iminara ya Yerusalemu ikomeye,+ ku buryo nta wuzawuzimya.”’”+
