OOKumkani 2-24
1Ngexesha lakhe uNebhukadenetsare ukumkani waseBhabheli wahlasela uYowakim, waba ngumkhonzi kuye iminyaka emithathu; emveni koko wajika, wamjikela. 2Yaye uYehova wathumela amatutu amaKhaledi namatutu ama-Aram namatutu amaMowabhi namatutu oonyana baka-Amoni ukuba amhlasele, waza wawathumela kuYuda ukuba amtshabalalise, ngokomthetho woonyana baka-Amoni. Ilizwi likaYehova awalithethayo kubakhonzi bakhe abaprofeti bathethile. 3Enyanisweni, ngokomyalelo kaYehova kwafika uYuda ukuba amshenxise phambi kwakhe ngenxa yezono zikaManase ngako konke awakwenzayo; 4nangenxa yegazi elingenatyala, ngenxa yokuba wayizalisa iYerusalem ngegazi elingenatyala; into angazange ayixolele uYehova. 5Ezinye izinto zikaYehoyakim, nako konke awakwenzayo, ndithi, zibhaliwe na encwadini yemicimbi yemihla yookumkani bakwaYuda? 6uYehoyakim walala kookhokho bakhe, yaye uYoyakin unyana wakhe walawula esikhundleni sakhe. 7Ukumkani waseYiputa akazange abuye ezweni lakhe, kuba ukumkani waseBhabhiloni wayezithimbile zonke izinto zokumkani waseYiputa ukususela kumlambo waseYiputa ukusa kumlambo ongumEfrati. 8uYehoyakin ubeminyaka ilishumi elinesibhozo ezelwe, ukuba ngukumkani kwakhe; waba neenyanga ezintathu engukumkani eYerusalem. Igama lonina belinguNehusta, intombi kaElinatan, waseYerusalem. 9Wenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova, njengoko wenzayo uyise. 10Ngelo xesha abakhonzi bakaNebhukadenetsare ukumkani waseBhabhiloni bayihlasela iYerusalem, yaye isixeko sangqingwa. 11Wawufikela uNebhukadenetsare ukumkani waseBhabheli, bewungqinga abakhonzi bakhe. 12Waya uYehoyakin, ukumkani wakwaYuda, waya kukumkani waseBhabheli, yena nonina, nabakhonzi bakhe, nabathetheli bakhe, nabakhonzi bakhe; ukumkani waseBhabheli wamthabatha ke ngomnyaka wesithoba, nowesibini wobukumkani bakhe. 13Wabuthabatha khona bonke ubuncwane bendlu kaYehova, nobuncwane bendlu yokumkani, neempahla zonke zegolide, awazenzayo uSolomon ukumkani wakwaSirayeli, awazenzayo endlwini kaYehova, wazinqunqa phakathi amaqhekeza utsho uYehova. 14Wayithimba yonke iYerusalem, nabathetheli bonke, namagorha onke, belishumi lamawaka abathinjwa, bonke abarhwebi, neengcibi zonke zesinyithi; akwasala bani, yaba ngamahlwempu elizwe odwa owasalayo. 15Wamthabatha uYehoyakin wamsa eBhabheli, nonina wokumkani, nabafazi bokumkani, nabakhonzi bakhe, namagorha elizwe, wabafudusela eYerusalem eBhabheli. 16Onke ke onke amawaka asixhenxe amadoda okulwa, newaka leengcibi nabakhandi besinyithi, bonke abomeleleyo nabakwaziyo ukulwa, bamthabatha ukumkani waseBhabheli, bamsa eBhabheli. 17Ukumkani waseBhabheli wamenza uMataniya, umkhuluwa kayise, ukumkani esikhundleni sakhe, waliguqula igama lakhe laba nguZedekiya. 18uZedekiya ubeminyaka imashumi mabini anamnye ezelwe, ukuba ngukumkani kwakhe; waba neminyaka elishumi elinamnye engukumkani eYerusalem. Igama lonina belinguHamutali, intombi kaYeremiya, waseLibhena. 19Wenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova, njengoYehoyakim. 20Kwenzeka ngenxa yomsindo kaYehova eYerusalem nakwaYuda, wada wabagxotha phambi kwakhe, kangangokuba uZedekiya wamvukela ukumkani waseBhabhiloni.
