Yeremiya
20 Pashuri umuhungu wa Imeri, wari umutambyi akaba n’umuyobozi mukuru mu rusengero rwa Yehova, yari ateze amatwi igihe Yeremiya yahanuraga ibyo bintu. 2 Nuko Pashuri akubita umuhanuzi Yeremiya maze amufungira mu kintu gikoze mu mbaho bakoreshaga bahana abantu,*+ cyari mu Irembo ryo Haruguru rya Benyamini ryari mu rusengero rwa Yehova. 3 Ariko ku munsi ukurikiyeho, Pashuri afungura Yeremiya maze Yeremiya aramubwira ati:
“Yehova ntiyakwise Pashuri, ahubwo yakwise igiteye ubwoba impande zose.+ 4 Yehova aravuga ati: ‘ngiye gutuma witera ubwoba, ubutere n’incuti zawe zose kandi bazicwa n’inkota y’abanzi babo ubireba.+ Ab’i Buyuda bose nzabateza umwami w’i Babuloni kandi azabajyana i Babuloni ku ngufu abicishe inkota.+ 5 Ubukire bwose bwo muri uyu mujyi, ibiwurimo byose, ibintu byose by’agaciro biwurimo n’ubutunzi bwose bw’abami b’u Buyuda, nzabiha abanzi babo.+ Bazabisahura, babifate babijyane i Babuloni.+ 6 Nanone wowe Pashuri n’ababa mu nzu yawe bose, muzajyanwa i Babuloni ku ngufu. Nimugerayo ni ho uzapfira kandi ni ho uzashyingurwa wowe n’incuti zawe zose kubera ko wabahanuriye ibinyoma.’”+
7 Yehova, waranshutse nemera gushukwa.
Wandushije imbaraga kandi urantsinda.+
Birirwa banseka,
Buri wese akanserereza.+
8 Igihe cyose ngiye kuvuga ndataka, nkavuga nti:
“Urugomo no gusenya.”
Kubera ijambo rya Yehova, abantu barantuka kandi bakanseka umunsi wose.+
Ariko mu mutima wanjye, ijambo rye ryabaye nk’umuriro waka cyane ukingiraniwe mu magufwa yanjye,
Sinari ngishoboye kurigumana,
Sinari ngishoboye guceceka.+
Baravuga bati: “Tumurege! Nimureke tumurege!”
Abanyifurizaga amahoro bose, babaga bacunga ko nakora ikosa.+
Baravugaga bati: “Aramutse akoze ikosa,
Dushobora kumutsinda maze tukihorera.”
11 Ariko Yehova yari kumwe nanjye ameze nk’umurwanyi uteye ubwoba.+
Ni yo mpamvu abantoteza bazasitara kandi ntibazatsinda.+
Bazakorwa n’isoni kuko nta cyo bazageraho.
Ikimwaro cyabo kizahoraho igihe cyose kuko kitazigera cyibagirana.+
12 Ariko wowe Yehova nyiri ingabo, ni wowe ugenzura umukiranutsi;
13 Nimuririmbire Yehova! Nimusingize Yehova!
Yatabaye umukene* amukura mu maboko y’abakora ibibi.
Umunsi mama yambyayeho ntugahabwe umugisha.+
15 Havumwe umuntu wabwiye papa inkuru nziza,
Inkuru nziza yatumye yishima cyane,
Igira iti: “Wabyaye umwana w’umuhungu!”
16 Uwo muntu azabe nk’imijyi Yehova yarimbuye ntabyicuze.
Mu gitondo azumve ijwi ryo gutaka, na ho ku manywa yumve urusaku ruburira abantu ko hari ikibi kigiye kuba.
