Ukubhujiswa kweJerusalema
1USedekiya wayeneminyaka engamashumi amabili nanye ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa iminyaka eyishumi nanye eJerusalema; Igama likanina lalinguHamuthali, indodakazi kaJeremiya, waseLibina.
2Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova njengoJehoyakimi.
3Ngoba ngolaka lukaJehova kwenzeka eJerusalema nakwaJuda, waze wabaxosha ebusweni bakhe; uZedekiya wayihlubuka inkosi yaseBabele.
4Kwathi ngomnyaka wesishiyagalolunye wokubusa kwakhe, ngenyanga yeshumi, ngosuku lweshumi lwenyanga, uNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, wafika eJerusalema nayo yonke impi yakhe, wamisa ngakulo, wakha izinqaba. Ngokumelene nalo nxazonke.
5Umuzi wavinjezelwa kwaze kwaba ngumnyaka weshumi nanye wenkosi uSedekiya.
6Ngenyanga yesine, ngosuku lwesishiyagalolunye lwenyanga, indlala yayinzima emzini, kangangokuthi abantu bezwe babengenakudla.
7Umuzi wabhodlozwa, wonke amaqhawe abaleka, aphuma emzini ebusuku ngesango eliphakathi kwemiduli emibili eyayingasensimini yenkosi; AmaKaledi ayezungeza umuzi, ahamba indlela yawo eya ethafeni.
8Kepha impi yamaKaledi yayixosha inkosi, yamfica uZedekiya emathafeni aseJeriko; yonke impi yakhe yahlakazeka isuka kuye.
9Bayibamba inkosi, bayiyisa enkosini yaseBabele eRibila ezweni laseHamati; lapho amgweba khona.
10Inkosi yaseBabele yabulala amadodana kaSedekiya phambi kwamehlo akhe; wazibulala zonke izikhulu zakwaJuda eRibila.
11Wakhipha amehlo kaZedekiya; inkosi yaseBabele yambopha ngamaketanga, yamyisa eBabele, yamfaka etilongweni kwaze kwaba lusuku lokufa kwakhe.
12Ngenyanga yesihlanu, ngolweshumi lwenyanga, okungumnyaka weshumi nesishiyagalolunye kaNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi, owayesebenzela inkosi yaseBabele, wafika eJerusalema;
13indlu kaJehova nendlu yenkosi zasha; zonke izindlu zaseJerusalema nazo zonke izindlu zezikhulu wazishisa ngomlilo.
14Yonke impi yamaKaledi eyayinenduna yemilindankosi yadiliza zonke izindonga zaseJerusalema nxazonke.
15Khona-ke uNebuzaradani, induna yabalindi, nabanye babampofu babantu, nensali yabantu ababesele emzini, nabahlubukayo, abahlubuka enkosini yaseBabele, nabanye abantu bahola. Kude njengeziboshwa.
16Kodwa uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi watshiya abanye babampofu belizwe kubalimi bewayini labalimi.
17Futhi izinsika zethusi ezazisendlini kaJehova, nezitsha zokugezela nolwandle lwethusi okwakusendlini kaJehova amaKhaledi akuhlephula alithatha kuzo lonke ithusi aliyisa eBhabhiloni.
18Nemiganu, nefosholo, nezitsha, nezitsha, nezinkezo, nezitsha zonke zethusi ababekhonza ngazo, bathatha.
19Nezitsha, nemicengezi yomlilo, nezitsha, nezinkezo, nezinti zezibani, nezinkezo, nezinkezo; okwakuyigolide elisegolide, nalokho okwakuyisiliva esiliva, induna yemilindankosi yakuthatha.
20Izinsika ezimbili, nolwandle olulodwa, nezinkunzi eziyishumi nambili zethusi ezaziphansi kwezinqe inkosi uSolomoni eyazenza endlini kaJehova, ithusi lazo zonke lezi zinto lalingenakulinganiswa.
21Izinsika, ukuphakama kwenye insika kwakuyizingalo eziyishumi nesishiyagalombili; umucu oyizingalo eziyishumi nambili wawuzungeza; uhlonze lwalo lwaluyiminwe emine; yayiyize.
22Kwakukhona isihloko sethusi phezu kwawo; ukuphakama kwesihloko esisodwa kwakuyizingalo eziyisihlanu, kukhona ukwelukiweyo nezinsingo phezu kwesihloko nxazonke, konke kwakungokwethusi. Nensika yesibili namabhomu kwakunje.
23Kwakukhona amapomegranati angamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye nesithupha ngalapha; zonke izigqoko zasemlukweni zaziyikhulu nxazonke.
24Induna yabalindi yathatha uSeraya umpristi omkhulu, noZefaniya, umpristi wesibili, nabalindisango abathathu.
25Wathatha nomthenwa emzini, owayephezu kwamadoda empi; namadoda ayisikhombisa ayeseceleni kwenkosi afunyanwa emzini; nombhali omkhulu wempi, owabutha abantu bezwe; namadoda angamashumi ayisithupha kubantu bezwe afunyanwa phakathi komuzi.
26UNebuzaradani induna yabalindi wabathatha wabayisa enkosini yaseBabele eRibila.
27Inkosi yaseBabele yabashaya, yababulala eRibila ezweni laseHamati. Kanjalo uJuda wathunjwa wasuswa ezweni lakubo.
28Laba ngabantu uNebukadinesari abathumbile: ngomnyaka wesikhombisa abaJuda abayizinkulungwane ezintathu namashumi amabili nantathu;
29Ngomnyaka weshumi nesishiyagalombili kaNebukadinesari wathumba eJerusalema abantu abangamakhulu ayisishiyagalombili namashumi amathathu nambili.
30Ngomnyaka wamashumi amabili nantathu kaNebukadinesari uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi wathumba phakathi kwabaJuda abantu abangamakhulu ayisikhombisa namashumi amane nanhlanu; bonke abantu babe yizinkulungwane ezine namakhulu ayisithupha.
31Kwathi ngomnyaka wamashumi amathathu nesikhombisa wokuthunjwa kukaJehoyakini inkosi yakwaJuda, ngenyanga yeshumi nambili, ngosuku lwamashumi amabili nanhlanu lwenyanga, u-Evilimerodaki, inkosi yaseBabele, ngomnyaka wokuqala wokubusa kwakhe. Wabusa inhloko kaJehoyakini, inkosi yakwaJuda, wamkhipha etilongweni,
32Wakhuluma kahle kuye, wabeka isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi ngaphezu kwezihlalo zobukhosi zamakhosi ayenaye eBabele;
33Wakhumula izingubo zakhe zasetilongweni, wadla isinkwa phambi kobuso bakhe zonke izinsuku zokuhamba kwakhe.
34Ngokudla kwakhe waphiwa ukudla kwaphakade okuvela enkosini yaseBhabhiloni, ingxenye yansuku zonke kwaze kwaba lusuku lokufa kwakhe, zonke izinsuku zokuhamba kwakhe.
