1Ngenyanga yesikhombisa u-Ishmayeli indodana kaNethaniya ka-Elishama wozalo lwenkosi, nezikhulu zenkosi, namadoda ayishumi kanye naye, kwafika kuGedaliya indodana ka-Ahikamu eMispa; badla isinkwa ndawonye eMispa.
2Khona-ke u-Ishmayeli indodana kaNethaniya namadoda ayishumi ayenaye basukuma bamshaya uGedaliya indodana ka-Ahikamu kaShafani ngenkemba, bambulala owayemise inkosi yaseBhabhiloni ukuba ibe umbusi phezu kwakhe izwe unayo.
3U-Ishmayeli wabulala bonke abaJuda ababenaye, kanye noGedaliya eMispa, namaKaledi afunyanwa khona, namadoda empi.
4Kwathi ngosuku lwesibili ebulele uGedaliya, kwakungekho muntu owakwazi;
5kwafika abanye bevela eShekemi, eShilo naseSamariya, abantu abangamashumi ayisishiyagalombili, bephucile, nezingubo zabo ziklebhukile, bezisikile, bephethe iminikelo nempepho ezandleni zabo, ukuba balethe endlini kaJehova.
6U-Ishmayeli indodana kaNethaniya waphuma eMispa ukubahlangabeza, esakhala njalo; lapho ehlangana nabo, wathi kubo: “Wozani kuGedaliya indodana ka-Ahikamu.”
7Lapho bengena phakathi nomuzi, u-Ishmayeli indodana kaNethaniya wababulala, wabaphonsa emgodini womgodi, yena namadoda ayenaye.
8Kepha kwafunyanwa amadoda ayishumi phakathi kwalawo athi ku-Ishmayeli: “Ungasibulali, ngokuba sinengcebo endle: ukolweni, nebhali, namafutha, nezinyosi.” Futhi wayishiya futhi akababulalanga phakathi kwabafowabo.
9Umgodi u-Ishmayeli alahla kuwo zonke izidumbu zamadoda awabulalayo ngenxa kaGedaliya yilowo inkosi u-Asa eyawenza ngenxa yokwesaba uBahasha inkosi yakwa-Israyeli; u-Ishmayeli indodana kaNethaniya waligcwalisa ngababuleweyo.
10U-Ishmayeli wayesethumba yonke insali yabantu ababeseMispa, amadodakazi enkosi, nabo bonke abantu ababesele eMispa, uNebusaradani induna yabalindi wababeka kuGedaliya indodana ka-Ahikamu; no-Ishmayeli indodana. KaNethaniya wabathumba, wahamba ukuwelela kubantwana bakwa-Amoni.
11Kepha uJohanani indodana kaKhareya nazo zonke izinduna zempi ezazinaye bezwa ngakho konke okubi u-Ishmayeli indodana kaNethaniya abekwenzile,
12Base bethatha bonke abantu, bahamba ukulwa no-Ishmayeli indodana kaNethaniya, bamfumana ngasemanzini amakhulu aseGibeyoni.
13Kwathi lapho wonke amadoda ayeno-Ishmayeli ebona uJohanani indodana kaKhareya nazo zonke izinduna zempi ezazinaye, ajabula.
14Khona-ke wonke amadoda ayethumbe u-Ishmayeli eMispa aphenduka abuyela kuJohanani indodana kaKhareya.
15Kodwa u-Ishmayeli indodana kaNethaniya waphunyuka namadoda ayisishiyagalombili kuJohanani, waya kubantwana bakwa-Amoni.
16UJohanani indodana kaKhareya wayesethatha nazo zonke izinduna zempi ezazinaye, yonke insali yabantu ayebophulile ku-Ishmayeli indodana kaNethaniya eMispa ngemva kokuzalwa kukaGedaliya indodana kaNethaniya.
17Basuka bahlala endaweni yokuhlala kaKimhamu engaseBhetlehema ukuze bangene eGibhithe.
18Ngenxa yamaKaledi, ngokuba ayewesaba, u-Ishmayeli indodana kaNethaniya wabulala uGedaliya indodana ka-Ahikamu, inkosi yaseBabele eyayimmisile ukuba abe ngumbusi ezweni.
