1Ezinsukwini zakhe uNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, wenyuka, uJehoyakimi waba yinceku yakhe iminyaka emithathu; emva kwalokho waphenduka wamhlubuka.
2INkosi yasithumela kuye amaviyo amaKaledi, namaviyo ama-Aramu, namaviyo akwaMowabi, namaviyo abantwana bakwa-Amoni, yawathuma kuJuda ukuyichitha, njengezwi leNkosi eyalikhuluma ngesandla sezinceku zakhe, abaprofethi, bakhuluma.
3Ngempela, ngomyalo kaJehova kwaba phezu kukaJuda ukubasusa phambi kwakhe ngenxa yezono zikaManase njengakho konke ayekwenzile;
4Wachitha nangegazi elingenacala, ngokuba wagcwalisa iJerusalema ngegazi elingenacala; uJehova angayithethelelanga.
5Ezinye izindaba zikaJehoyakimi nakho konke akwenzayo angithi kulotshiwe encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla yamakhosi akwaJuda na?
6UJehoyakimi wayeselala koyise; uJehoyakini indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
7Inkosi yaseGibithe ayibe isabuya ezweni layo, ngokuba inkosi yaseBabele yathatha konke okwakungokwenkosi yaseGibithe, kusukela emfuleni waseGibithe kuze kube semfuleni u-Ewufrathe.
8UJehoyakini wayeneminyaka eyishumi nesishiyagalombili ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa izinyanga ezintathu eJerusalema. Igama likanina lalinguNehusta, indodakazi ka-Elinathani, waseJerusalema.
9Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova njengalokho enzile uyise.
10Ngaleso sikhathi izinceku zikaNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, zahlasela iJerusalema, umuzi wavinjezelwa.
11UNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, wawufikela umuzi, izinceku zakhe zawuvimbezela.
12UJehoyakini inkosi yakwaJuda waphuma, waya enkosini yaseBabele, yena nonina, nezinceku zakhe, nezikhulu zakhe, nezinceku zakhe; inkosi yaseBabele yamthatha ngomnyaka wesishiyagalombili wokubusa kwakhe.
13Wakhipha khona yonke ingcebo yendlu kaJehova, nengcebo yendlu yenkosi, nazo zonke izitsha zegolide uSolomoni inkosi yakwa-Israyeli ayezenzile ethempelini likaJehova, wazihlahlela zaba yizicucu kusho uJehova.
14Yathumba lonke iJerusalema, nazo zonke izikhulu, nawo onke amaqhawe anamandla, abathunjwa abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi, nabo bonke abathengisi, nabakhandi bensimbi; akwasala muntu, kuphela abantu bezwe abampofu kakhulu.
15Yamthumba uJehoyakini yamyisa eBabele, nonina wenkosi, nabafazi benkosi, nezinceku zayo, nabanamandla bezwe, yabathumba eJerusalema yabayisa eBabele.
16Futhi wonke amaqhawe, izinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa, ingcweti, nabakhandi bensimbi, abayinkulungwane, bonke ababenamandla futhi bekwazi ukulwa, bayisa inkosi yaseBabele ekudingisweni.
17Inkosi yaseBabele yabeka uMathaniya umfowabo kayise inkosi esikhundleni sakhe, yaguqula igama lakhe laba nguZedekiya.
18USedekiya wayeneminyaka engamashumi amabili nanye ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa iminyaka eyishumi nanye eJerusalema; Igama likanina lalinguHamuthali, indodakazi kaJeremiya, waseLibina.
19Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova njengoJehoyakimi.
20Ngokuba kwenzeka lokho eJerusalema nakwaJuda ngentukuthelo kaJehova, waze wabaxosha ebusweni bakhe; uSedekiya wayihlubuka inkosi yaseBabele.
