তুমি দেশান্তৰিত হোৱা লোকসকলৰ আগলৈ এই কথা কৈ পঠিওৱা, যিহোৱাই নিহিলামীয়া বিষয়ে এই কথা কৈছে, মই চময়িয়াক নপঠোৱাকৈয়ে তেওঁ তোমালোকৰ আগত ভাববাণী প্ৰচাৰ কৰিলে, আৰু মিছা কথাত তোমালোকৰ বিশ্বাস জন্মালে।

God is telling the people in captivity that Shemaiah, who claims to be a prophet, is not actually sent by God. Shemaiah is misleading the people with false promises.
