12Ngakhuluma amazwi afanayo enkosini yakwaJuda, uZedekiya, ngathi: “Bekani izintamo zenu phansi kwejoka lenkosi yaseBhabhele, niyikhonze, yona nabantu bayo, niphile. 13Uyakufelani wena nabantu bakho ngenkemba, ngendlala nangobhubhane, njengalokho uSimakade akukhulumile maqondana nesizwe esingayukuyikhonza inkosi yaseBhabhele na? 14Ningawalaleli amazwi abaphrofethi abakhuluma kini, bethi: ‘Aniyukuyikhonza inkosi yaseBhabhele,’ ngoba baphrofetha amanga kini. 15‘Angibathumanga. Baphrofetha amanga egameni lami,’ kusho uSimakade. ‘Ngakho-ke ngizonixosha, niphele nya, nina nabaphrofethi abaphrofetha kini.’ ”
16Ngase ngikhuluma kubaphristi nakubo bonke abantu ngithi usho kanje uSimakade, uthi: “Ningawalaleli amazwi abaphrofethi benu abaphrofetha kini, bethi: ‘Bhekani, izitsha zendlu kaSimakade ziyakubuyiswa eBhabhele masinyane.’ Ngokuba baphrofetha amanga kini. 17Ningabalaleli; yikhonzeni inkosi yaseBhabhele ukuze niphile; kungani lo muzi ube ngowokubhujiswa na? 18Uma-ke bengabaphrofethi, nezwi likaNkulunkulu likubo, mabanxuse kuSimakade Wamabandla, ukuba izitsha ezisasele endlini kaSimakade, esigodlweni senkosi yakwaJuda, naseJerusalema zingayi eBhabhele. 19Usho kanje uSimakade Wamabandla ngezinsika, ngolwandle, ngezinqe nangezitsha ezisasele kulo muzi; 20angazithathanga uNebukhadinezari, inkosi yaseBhabhele, ngesikhathi ethumba uJekhoniya, indodana kaJehoyakimi, inkosi yakwaJuda, eJerusalema, emyisa eBhabhele, nezikhulu zonke zakwaJuda naseJerusalema, 21yebo, usho kanje uSimakade Wamabandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ngempahla eyayisele endlini kaSimakade, nasesigodlweni senkosi yakwaJuda, naseJerusalema, uthi: 22‘Iyakuyiswa eBhabhele, ihlale lapho, kuze kufike usuku engiyoyibuyisa ngalo, bese ngiyikhuphula, ngiyibuyisele kule ndawo,’ kusho uSimakade.”
