3 Mu mwaka wa 18 w’ubutegetsi bw’Umwami Yosiya, yohereje Shafani umuhungu wa Asaliya, umuhungu wa Meshulamu wari umunyamabanga, amutuma mu nzu ya Yehova+ ati: 4 “Jya kureba umutambyi mukuru Hilukiya,+ umubwire yegeranye amafaranga yose azanwa mu nzu ya Yehova,+ ni ukuvuga ayo abarinzi b’amarembo bahabwa n’abaturage.+

22 Nuko Nebukadinezari umwami w’i Babuloni ashyiraho Gedaliya+ umuhungu wa Ahikamu,+ umuhungu wa Shafani,+ ngo ayobore abaturage yari yarasize mu gihugu cy’u Buyuda.+

24 Ariko Ahikamu+ umuhungu wa Shafani+ ashyigikira Yeremiya, kugira ngo adahabwa abaturage ngo bamwice.+
