38 Sefatiya mwana wa Matani, Gedaliya mwana wa Pasi-Huri, Yukali mwana wa Selemiya, ndi Pasi-Huri mwana wa Malikiya anamva zimene Yeremiya ankawuza anthu onse kuti, 2 “Yehova akuti, ‘Aliyense amene akhale mu mzinda muno adzafa ndi nkhondo njala kapena mliri. Koma aliyense amene atatuluke kukadzipereka kwa Ababuloni adzapulumutsa moyo wake; iyeyo adzakhala ndi moyo. 3 Mzinda uno udzaperekedwa ndithu kwa gulu lankhondo la mfumu ya ku Babuloni, amene adzawulande.’ ”
4 Tsono akuluakuluwo anawuza mfumu kuti, “Munthu uyu ayenera kuphedwa. Iye akutayitsa mtima asilikali pamodzi ndi anthu onse amene atsala mu mzinda muno, chifukwa cha zimene akuwawuza. Munthu ameneyu sakufunira zabwino anthuwa koma chiwonongeko chawo.”
5 Mfumu Zedekiya anayankha kuti, “Munthuyu ali mʼmanja mwanu. Ine sindingakuletseni chimene mukufuna kumuchitira.”
6 Choncho iwo anatenga Yeremiya nakamuponya mʼchitsime cha Malikiya, mwana wa mfumu, chimene chinali mʼbwalo la alonda. Iwo anamutsitsira mʼdzenjemo ndi chingwe. Munalibe madzi koma matope okhaokha, ndipo Yeremiya anamira mʼmatopewo.
7 Koma Ebedi-Meleki, Mkusi, mmodzi mwa anthu ofulidwa ogwira ntchito mʼnyumba ya mfumu, anamva kuti Yeremiya anamuponya mʼchitsime. Nthawi imeneyo nʼkuti mfumu ili ku chipata cha Benjamini. 8 Ebedi-Meleki anatuluka ku nyumba ya mfumu kukayiwuza kuti, 9 “Mbuye wanga mfumu, zimene anthu awa amuchitira mneneri Yeremiya ndi zoyipa kwambiri. Iwo amuponya mʼchitsime, ndipo adzafa ndi njala chifukwa buledi watha mu mzinda muno.”
10 Tsono mfumu inalamula Ebedi-Meleki, Mkusi, kuti, “Tenga anthu makumi atatu, ndipo mukamutulutse mʼchitsimemo mneneri Yeremiya asanafe.”
11 Pamenepo Ebedi-Meleki anatenga anthuwo, napita nawo ku nyumba ya mfumu ya pansi pa chipinda chosungiramo chuma. Kumeneko anakatengako sanza ndipo anatsitsira sanzazo ndi chingwe mʼchitsime mʼmene munali Yeremiya. 12 Ebedi-Meleki, Mkusi, anawuza Yeremiya kuti, “Ika sanzazo mkwapa mwako kuti zingwe zingakupweteke.” Yeremiya anachitadi zimenezi, 13 ndipo anamukoka ndi zingwe ndi kumutulutsa mʼchitsimecho. Ndipo Yeremiya anakhalabe ku bwalo la alonda.
Zedekiya Afunsanso Yeremiya
14 Tsiku lina Mfumu Zedekiya anayitana mneneri Yeremiya ndipo anabwera naye ku chipata chachitatu cha Nyumba ya Yehova. Mfumu inawuza Yeremiya kuti, “Ndikufuna kukufunsa kanthu kena, ndipo usandibisire chilichonse.”
15 Yeremiya anati kwa Zedekiya, “Ndikakuyankhani, kodi simundipha? Ngakhaletu ine nditakulangizani, inu simudzandimvera.”
16 Koma Mfumu Zedekiya mwachinsinsi inalumbira kwa Yeremiya kuti, “Pali Yehova wamoyo, amene amatipatsa moyo, sindidzakupha ngakhalenso kukupereka kwa amene akufuna kukuphawa.”
17 Pamenepo Yeremiya anati kwa Zedekiya, “Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli akuti, ‘Ngati mutuluka kukadzipereka kwa ankhondo a mfumu ya ku Babuloni, mudzakhala ndi moyo ndipo mzinda uno sadzawutentha, inu pamodzi ndi banja lanu mudzakhala ndi moyo. 18 Koma ngati simutuluka kukadzipereka kwa ankhondo a mfumu ya ku Babuloni, mzinda uno udzaperekedwa kwa Ababuloni ndipo adzawutentha; inuyo simudzapulumuka mʼdzanja mwawo.’ ”
19 Mfumu Zedekiya inati kwa Yeremiya, “Ine ndikuopa Ayuda amene anathawira kale kwa Ababuloni, pakuti mwina Ababuloniwo adzandipereka kwa Ayudawo ndipo iwowo adzandizunza.”
20 Yeremiya anayankha kuti, “Ngati mumvera Yehova ndi kuchita zimene ndakuwuzani, ndiye kuti zinthu zidzakuyenderani bwino. Inu simudzaphedwa. 21 Koma mukakana kudzipereka, chimene Yehova wandiwululira ndi ichi: 22 Akazi onse amene atsala mʼnyumba ya mfumu ya Yuda adzaperekedwa kwa akuluakulu a mfumu ya ku Babuloni. Akazi amenewo adzakuwuzani kuti,
“ ‘Abwenzi ako okhulupirika aja anakusokeretsa,
ndipo anakugonjetsa.
Poti tsopano miyendo yako yazama mʼmatope;
abwenzi ako aja akusiya.’
23 “Akazi pamodzi ndi ana anu adzaperekedwa kwa Ababuloni. Inuyo simudzapulumuka mʼmanja mwawo koma mfumu ya ku Babuloni idzakugwirani; mzinda uno adzawutentha.”
24 Pamenepo Zedekiya anati kwa Yeremiya, “Usawuze munthu wina aliyense zimene takambiranazi, ukatero udzaphedwa. 25 Akuluakulu akamva kuti ndinayankhula nawe ndipo akabwera kwa iwe nʼkudzakufunsa kuti, ‘Tiwuze zimene unanena kwa mfumu ndi zimene mfumu inanena kwa iwe; usatibisire, ukatero tidzakupha,’ 26 udzawawuze kuti, ‘Ine ndimapempha mfumu kuti isandibwezerenso ku nyumba ya Yonatani kuti ndikafere kumeneko.’ ”
27 Akuluakulu onse anabweradi kwa Yeremiya kudzamufunsa. Iye anawayankha monga momwe mfumu inamulamula. Choncho palibe amene ananenanso kanthu, pakuti palibe amene anamva zomwe anakambirana ndi mfumu.
28 Ndipo Yeremiya anakhalabe mʼbwalo la alonda mpaka tsiku limene mzinda wa Yerusalemu unalandidwa.
