3 Natenepa ine ndakwata Yazaniya mwana wa Yeremiya ndzukulu wa Abhaziniya pabodzi na abale ace, anace onsene na anthu onsene a dzindza ya Arekabu, 4 mbandipita nawo nʼnyumba ya Yahova. Ndaenda nawo mu sala inadyera ana a Anane mwana wa Igadhaliya, ntumiki wa Mulungu wandimomwene, sala ineyi yakudyera ikhali kukhundu ya sala yakudyera ya akulu-akulu yakuti ikhali padzulu pa sala yakudyera ya Maseya mwana wa nyakuonera nsuwo anacemerwa Salumu. 5 Buluka penepo, ine ndaikha ndiko zakudzala na vinyu patsogolo pa amuna a dzindza ya Arekabu, mbandiapanga: “Mwani vinyu.”
6 Mbwenye iwo alonga: “Ife nee tinamwa vinyu, thangwi Yonadhabhe+ mwana wa mbuyathu Rekabu atipasa ntemo uyu: ‘Imwe pabodzi na ananu cipo musafunika kumwa vinyu. 7 Lekani kumanga nyumba nee kubzwala, lekani kutceka nee kukhala na minda ya mauva. Mbwenye ndzidzi onsene khalani mʼmisasa, toera mukhale pyaka pizinji mu dziko inakhala imwe ninga alendo.’ 8 Natenepa, ife tisapitiriza kubvera mafala a Yonadhabhe mwana wa mbuyathu Rekabu mbaticita pyonsene pidatipanga iye. Ife na akazathu, pabodzi na anathu amuna na akazi, cipo tamwa vinyu. 9 Ife nee tamanga nyumba toera kukhala, nee tiri na minda ya mauva, nee minda, nee mbeu. 10 Ife tisapitiriza kukhala mʼmisasa, mbatibvera pyonsene pidatipanga mbuyathu Yonadhabhe. 11 Mbwenye Nabhukodhonozore mambo wa ku Bhabhilonya pidabwera iye kudzamenyana na dziko yathu,+ ife talonga: ‘Tendeni tipite mu Yerusalemu toera tikhonde kuphiwa na anyankhondo a ku Kaldheya na a ku Sirya,’ cincino ife tiri kukhala mu Yerusalemu.”
12 Penepo Yeremiya atambira mafala awa a Yahova: 13 “Ipi ndi pidalonga Yahova wa anyankhondo, Mulungu wa Izraeli: ‘Ndoko kapange anthu a ku Yuda na anthu anakhala mu Yerusalemu kuti: “Kodi imwe nee mwacenjezwa mwakubwereza-bwereza kuti musafunika kubvera mafala anga?”+ alonga Yahova. 14 “Yonadhabhe mwana wa Rekabu apanga anthu a dzindza yace toera akhonde kumwa vinyu, natenepa mpaka lero iwo asabvera mafalace, mbakhonda kumwa vinyu, iwo asacita pidapangwa iwo na mbuyawo.+ Ine ndisalonga na imwe mwakubwereza-bwereza, mbwenye imwe nee musandibvera.+ 15 Ine ndikhakutumizirani atumiki anga onsene akuti ndi aprofeta, ndikhaatuma kuna imwe mwakubwereza-bwereza,+ mbandilonga: ‘Ndaphata miyendo, siyani njira zanu zakuipa+ mbamucita pinthu pyadidi, lekani kulambira alungu anango mbamuatumikira. Mungacita pyenepi munapitiriza kukhala mu dziko idapereka ine kuna imwe na kuna ambuyanu.’+ Mbwenye imwe nee mwandibvera, pontho nee mwatsalakana pidalonga ine. 16 Anthu a dzindza ya Yonadhabhe, mwana wa Rekabu asabvera ntemo udapaswa iwo na mbuyawo,+ mbwenye mbumba iyi nee isandibvera.”’”
17 “Natenepa ipi ndi pidalonga Yahova, Mulungu wa anyankhondo, Mulungu wa Izraeli: ‘Dziko ya Yuda pabodzi na anthu onsene anakhala mu Yerusalemu ndinaabweresera nyatwa zidalonga ine kuti mbidaabweresera,+ thangwi ndaapanga, mbwenye iwo nee andibvera, pontho ndapitiriza kuacemera, mbwenye iwo nee anditawira.’”+
18 Yeremiya apanga dzindza ya Arekabu: “Ipi ndi pidalonga Yahova wa anyankhondo, Mulungu wa Izraeli: ‘Nakuti musabvera ntemo wa mbuyanu Yonadhabhe, pontho musapitiriza kubvera mitemo yace yonsene, mbamucita pyonsene pidakupangani iye, 19 ipi ndi pidalonga Yahova wa anyankhondo, Mulungu wa Izraeli: “Ndzidzi onsene anaoneka munthu wa dzindza ya Yonadhabhe mwana wa Rekabu toera kunditumikira.”’”
