Jeremiya 39
1Ngomnyaka wesishiyagalolunye kaSedekiya inkosi yakwaJuda, ngenyanga yeshumi, uNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, nayo yonke impi yakhe, wafika eJerusalema, walivimbezela.
2Ngomnyaka weshumi nanye kaSedekiya, ngenyanga yesine, ngosuku lwesishiyagalolunye lwenyanga, umuzi wabhidlizwa.
3Zangena zonke izikhulu zenkosi yaseBabele, zahlala esangweni eliphakathi, oNergali-Sarezeri, noSamgarinebo, noSarisegimi, noRabisarisi, noNergali-Sarezeri, iRabimagi, kanye nayo yonke insali yezikhulu zenkosi yaseBabele.
4Kwathi uZedekhiya inkosi yakoJuda ebabona lawo wonke amadoda empi, babaleka baphuma emzini ebusuku ngendlela yensimu yenkosi, ngesango phakathi kwezingange zombili, waphuma endleleni yasethafeni.
5Kodwa impi yamaKaledi yabaxosha, yamfica uZedekiya emathafeni aseJeriko; sebemthathile, bamyisa kuNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, eRibila ezweni laseHamati, lapho ahlulela khona.
6Inkosi yaseBabele yabulala amadodana kaSedekiya eRibila phambi kwamehlo akhe; inkosi yaseBabele yabulala zonke izikhulu zakwaJuda.
7Ngaphezu kwalokho, yakhipha amehlo kaZedekiya yambopha ngamaketanga ukuze imyise eBhabhiloni.
8AmaKhaledi ashisa indlu yenkosi nezindlu zabantu ngomlilo, adiliza izingange zaseJerusalema.
9UNebuzaradani induna yabalindi wathumba insali yabantu ababesele emzini, nabaseleyo, wabayisa eBabele, nabanye abantu ababesele.
10Kepha uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi wabashiya ezweni lakwaJuda abathile kwabampofu abangenalutho, wabanika izivini namasimu.
11UNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, wayala uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi ngoJeremiya, wathi:
12Mthathe, umbheke kahle, ungamenzi okubi; kodwa yenzani kuye njengokutsho kwakhe kini.
13UNebusaradani induna yabalindi wathuma, noNebusabhani, noRabisarisi, noNergali-Sareseri, uRabimagi, nazo zonke izikhulu zenkosi yaseBabele;
14Bathumela bamthatha uJeremiya egcekeni letilongo bamnikela kuGedaliya indodana ka-Ahikamu kaShafani ukuba amlethe ekhaya; ngalokho wahamba wayohlala phakathi kwabantu.
15Izwi likaJehova lafika kuJeremiya evalelwe egcekeni letilongo, lathi:
16Hamba ukhulume ku-Ebhedi-Melegi umKushe, uthi: Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli; Bheka, ngiletha amazwi ami ngalo muzi ngokubi, kungabi ngokuhle; futhi ziyogcwaliseka phambi kwenu ngalolo suku.
17Kodwa mina ngizalisindisa ngalolosuku, kutsho uJehova, njalo kawuyikunikelwa esandleni sabantu elibesabayo.
18Ngokuba ngiyakukusindisa nokukusindisa, awuyikuwa ngenkemba, kepha ukuphila kwakho kuyakuba yimpango yakho, ngokuba uthembele kimi,” usho uJehova.
