Lakini leo ninakufungua minyororo iliyo kwenye viwiko vya mikono yako. Twende pamoja mpaka Babeli ikiwa unataka, nami nitakutunza. Lakini kama hutaki, basi usije. Tazama, nchi yote iko mbele yako, nenda kokote unakotaka.”
Jeremiah 40:4 in English
Jeremiah 40:4 · Berean Standard Bible
But now, behold, I am freeing you today from the chains that were on your wrists. If it pleases you to come with me to Babylon, then come, and I will take care of you. But if it seems wrong to you to come with me to Babylon, go no farther. Look, the whole land is before you. Wherever it seems good and right to you, go there.”
Context
2Kiongozi wa walinzi alipomwona Yeremia, akamwambia, “Bwana Mungu wako aliamuru maafa haya kwa mahali hapa. 3Sasa Bwana ameyaleta haya, amefanya sawasawa na vile alivyosema angefanya. Yote haya yametokea kwa sababu ninyi mlifanya dhambi dhidi ya Bwana na hamkumtii. 4Lakini leo ninakufungua minyororo iliyo kwenye viwiko vya mikono yako. Twende pamoja mpaka Babeli ikiwa unataka, nami nitakutunza. Lakini kama hutaki, basi usije. Tazama, nchi yote iko mbele yako, nenda kokote unakotaka.” 5Lakini kabla Yeremia hajageuka kuondoka, Nebuzaradani akaongeza kusema, “Rudi kwa Gedalia mwana wa Ahikamu mwana wa Shafani, ambaye mfalme wa Babeli amemchagua awe juu ya miji ya Yuda, ukaishi naye miongoni mwa watu, au uende popote panapokupendeza.”
Kisha huyo kiongozi akampa posho yake na zawadi, akamwacha aende zake. 6Kwa hiyo Yeremia akaenda kwa Gedalia mwana wa Ahikamu huko Mispa, na kuishi naye miongoni mwa watu walioachwa katika nchi.
