Amanye amakhosi akwaJuda
1Abantu bezwe basebemthatha uJowahazi indodana kaJosiya, bambeka inkosi eJerusalema esikhundleni sikayise.
2UJehowahazi wayeneminyaka engamashumi amabili nantathu ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa izinyanga ezintathu eJerusalema;
3Inkosi yaseGibithe yahlala phansi eJerusalema, yahlulela izwe amathalenta ayikhulu esiliva netalenta legolide.
4Inkosi yaseGibithe yabeka u-Eliyakimi umfowabo inkosi kwaJuda naseJerusalema, yaguqula igama lakhe laba nguJehoyakimi. UNego wamthatha uJehowahazi umfowabo, wamyisa eGibithe.
5UJehoyakimi wayeneminyaka engamashumi amabili nanhlanu ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa iminyaka eyishumi nanye eJerusalema; wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe.
6UNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, wenyukela kuye, wambopha ngozankosi, ukuze amyise eBabele.
7UNebukadinesari waletha ezinye zezitsha zendlu kaJehova eBhabhiloni wazibeka ethempelini lakhe eBhabhiloni.
8Ezinye izindaba zikaJehoyakimi nezinengiso zakhe azenzayo, ezafunyanwa kuye, bheka, zilotshiwe encwadini yamakhosi akwa-Israyeli nakwaJuda; uJehoyakini indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
9UJehoyakini wayeneminyaka eyisishiyagalombili ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa izinyanga ezintathu nezinsuku eziyishumi eJerusalema; wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova.
10Lapho umnyaka usuphelile, inkosi uNebukadinesari yathumela yamyisa eBhabhiloni kanye nezitsha ezinhle zendlu kaJehova, yabeka umfowabo uZedekiya inkosi kwaJuda naseJerusalema.
11USedekiya wayeneminyaka engamashumi amabili nanye ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa iminyaka eyishumi nanye eJerusalema;
12Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe, akazithobanga phambi kukaJeremiya umprofethi owakhuluma ngomlomo kaJehova.
13Naye wahlubuka enkosini uNebukadinesari, eyamfungisa uNkulunkulu;
14Ngaphezu kwalokho, bonke abapristi abakhulu nabantu baphambuka kakhulu ngokwazo zonke izinengiso zabezizwe; wangcolisa indlu kaJehova abeyingcwelisile eJerusalema.
15UJehova, uNkulunkulu wawoyise, wathuma kubo ngezithunywa zakhe, wathuma ngesikhathi; ngokuba wayehawukele abantu bakhe nendawo yakhe yokuhlala;
16Kodwa baziklolodela izithunywa zikaNkulunkulu, bawadelela amazwi akhe, bathuka abaprofethi bakhe, kwaze kwafika intukuthelo kaJehova ngabantu bakhe, kwaze kwangabangakho ukuphulukiswa.
17Ngakho wabehlisela inkosi yamaKhaladiya eyabulala izinsizwa zabo ngenkemba endlini yendlu yabo engcwele, futhi ayizange ihawukele insizwa noma intombi, ixhegu noma okhothama ngenxa yobudala. Akahambanga; wabanika bonke esandleni sakhe.
18Zonke izitsha zendlu kaNkulunkulu, ezinkulu nezincane, nengcebo yendlu kaJehova, nengcebo yenkosi neyezikhulu zayo; konke lokhu wakuyisa eBabele.
19Bayishisa indlu kaNkulunkulu, badiliza ugange lwaseJerusalema, bashisa zonke izigodlo zalo ngomlilo, bachitha zonke izitsha zalo ezinhle.
20Abaphunyukileyo enkembeni yabathumba, yabayisa eBabele; lapho babeyizinceku zakhe nezamadodana akhe kwaze kwaba sembusweni wombuso wasePheresiya.
21Ukuba kugcwaliseke izwi likaJehova ngomlomo kaJeremiya, izwe laneliswe ngamasabatha alo;
22Kwathi ngomnyaka wokuqala kaKoresi, inkosi yasePheresiya, ukuze kugcwaliseke izwi likaJehova elakhulunywa ngomlomo kaJeremiya, uJehova wavusa umoya kaKoresi inkosi yasePheresiya ukuba enze ithempeli. Isimemezelo embusweni wakhe wonke, futhi wasibhala, wathi:
23Usho kanje uKoresi, inkosi yasePheresiya, uthi: “Imibuso yonke yomhlaba iphiwe mina nguJehova uNkulunkulu wezulu; wangiyala ukuba ngimakhele indlu eJerusalema lakwaJuda. Ngubani phakathi kwenu kubo bonke abantu bakhe? UJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe makabe naye, akhuphuke.
