NgoJehoyakimi inkosi yakwaJuda uyakusho uthi: Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Uwushisile lo mqulu ngokuthi : Ulobeleni kuwo ukuthi inkosi yaseBabele iyakufika nokufika ukuchitha leli zwe , yenze ukuba kuphele kulo abantu nezilwane, na?

USedekiya, indodana kaJosiya, waba yinkosi esikhundleni sikaKhoniya , indodana kaJehoyakimi , wabekwa inkosi ezweni lakwaJuda nguNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele.

uSedekiya inkosi wathumela wamlanda ; inkosi yambuza ngasese endlini yayo, yathi: Kukhona izwi elivela kuJehova na ? UJeremiya wathi: Likhona. Wathi futhi: Uyakunikelwa esandleni senkosi yaseBabele.

Baphi manje abaprofethi benu ababeprofetha kini ngokuthi : Inkosi yaseBabele ayiyikunehlela nina naleli zwe, na?

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Lo muzi uyakunikelwa nokunikelwa esandleni sempi yenkosi yaseBabele, iwuthathe.

Wayesethi uJeremiya kuSedekiya : Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, uthi: U ma uphuma nokuphuma , uye ezikhulwini zenkosi yaseBabele, umphefumulo wakho uyakuphila , futhi lo muzi awuyikushiswa ngomlilo, uphile wena nendlu yakho;

Inkosi yaseBabe le yabulala amadodana kaSedekiya eRibila phambi kwamehlo akhe ; futhi inkosi yaseBabele yabulala bonke abakhulu bakwaJuda.

UNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele , wamyala uNebuzaradani , induna yabalindi, ngoJeremiya, wathi:

UNebuzaradani induna yabalindi kanye noNebushazibani induna yezinceku, noNerigali Sareseri induna yabapristi , nezikhulu zonke zenkosi yaseBabele base bethumela,

Engakabuyi, yathi: Buyela kuGedaliya indodana ka -Ahikamu kaShafani , inkosi yaseBabele emenze abe ngumbusi phezu kwemizi yakwaJuda , uhlale naye p hakathi kwabantu ; noma lapho kulungile emehlweni akho ukuya khona, yiya lapho . Induna yabalindi yayisimnika umphako nesipho , yamvumela ukuba ahambe.

Zonke izinduna zempi ezazisendle , zona nabantu bazo , sezizwile ukuthi inkosi yaseBabele imenzile uGedaliya indodana ka -Ahikamu umbusi ezweni nokuthi inikele kuye abesilisa , nabesifazane, nabantwana, nabayizimpofana bezwe abangathunjelwanga eBabele,

UGedaliya indodana ka-Ahikamu kaShafani wafunga kubo nakubantu babo , wathi: Ningesabi ukukhonza amaKaledi : hlalani ezweni , niyikhonze inkosi yaseBabele, kuyakuba kuhle kini.

Futhi lapho bonke abaJuda ababekwaMowabi , naphakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Amoni, nakwa-Edomi, nababesemazweni onke sebezwile ukuthi inkosi yaseBabele ishiyile insali kwa Juda nokuthi ibeke phezu kwabo uGedaliya indodana ka-Ahikamu kaShafani ukuba abe ngumbusi phezu kwabo,

uthi kubo : U sho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, uthi: Bheka, ngiyakuthumela ukuba ngimbam be uNebukadinesari , inkosi yaseBabele, inceku yami , ngibeke isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi phezu kwalawa matshe engiwashiqeleyo, uyakweneka isivikelo sakhe phezu kwawo.

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Bhekani, ngiyakunikela uFaro uHofira inkosi yaseGibithe esandleni sezitha zakhe nasesandleni sabafuna ukuphila kwakhe, njengalokho nganikela uSedekiya inkosi y akwaJuda esandleni sikaNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele , isitha sakhe esasifuna ukuphila kwakhe.

NgeGibithe ngempi kaFaro Nekho inkosi yaseGibith e eyayingasemfuleni u - Ewufrathe eKharikemishi , owayinqoba uNebukadinesari , inkosi yaseBabele , ngomnyaka wesine kaJehoyakimi indodana kaJosiya, inkosi yakwaJuda.

Izwi uJehova alikhuluma kuJeremiya umprofethi ngokuza kukaNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, ukuchitha izwe laseGibithe.

ngibanikele esandleni sabafuna ukuphila kwabo , nasesandleni sikaNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele , nasesandleni sezinceku zakhe , andukuba lakhiwe njengasezinsukwini zasendulo, usho uJehova.

NgeKedari, nangemibuso yaseHasori ayinqobayo uNebukadinesari , inkosi yaseBabele. Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Sukani, nikhuphukele eKedari , nichithe abantwana basempumalanga.

Balekani, nizulazulele kude, nihlale ezigoxini nina bakhileyo eHasori, usho uJehova, ngokuba uNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele wenze amasu ngani , waceba amacebo ngani.

U-Israyeli uyimvu ezingelwayo ; izingonyama zimxoshile. Kuqala wadliwa yinkosi yase -Asiriya, nangasemuva uNebukadinesari lo , inkosi yaseBabele , ugedlile amathambo akhe.

Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, uthi: Bheka, ngiyakujezisa inkosi yaseBabele nezwe layo , njengalokho ngijezisile inkosi yase-Asiriya.

Babamba umnsalo nomkhonto ; banonya, abanamusa; izwi labo liduma njengolwandle; bakhwele amahha shi, behleliwe njengabantu abayakulwa nawe ndodakazi yaseBabele.

Inkosi yaseBabele izwile udumo lwabo , izandla zayo zaba buthakathaka ; usizi luyibambile, nemihelo njengeyobelethayo.

Isigijimi siyagijma , sihlangane nesinye, umbiki uhlangana nombik i ukutshela inkosi yaseBabele ukuthi umuzi wayo unqotshiwe nxazonke.

Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, uthi: Indodakazi yaseBabele injengesibuya ngesikhathi sokunyathelwa kwaso; kuse yisikhashana, sizakufika kuyo isikhathi sokuvuna.

Ngokuba kwenzeka lok ho eJerusalema nakwaJuda ngenxa yentukuthe lo kaJehova, waze wabalahla ebusweni bakhe ; uSedekiya wayihlubuka inkosi yaseBabele.

Kwathi ngomnyaka wesishiyagalolunye wokubusa kwakhe ngenyanga yeshumi, ngolweshumi lwenyanga , kwafika uNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, yena nayo yonke impi yakhe , eJerusalema, wamisa malungana nalo, bakha inqaba ngakulo nxazonke.

Inkosi yaseBabele yabulala amadodana kaSedekiya phambi kwamehlo akhe; yabulala nazo zonke izikhulu zakwaJuda eRibila.

Yakhipha namehlo kaSedekiya ; inkosi yaseBabele yambopha ngamaketanga, yamyisa eBabele , yamfaka etilongweni kwaze kwaba sosukwini lokufa kwakhe.

Ngenyanga yesihlanu , ngolweshumi lwenyanga okwakungumnyaka weshumi nesishiyag alolunye wenkosi uNebukadinesari , inkosi yaseBabele , kwafika uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi , inceku yenkosi yaseBabele , eJerusalema.

Inkosi yaseBabele yabashaya, yababulala eRibila ezweni laseHamati . Wathunjwa kanjalo uJuda ezweni lakubo.

Kwathi ngomnyaka wamashumi amathathu nesikhombisa wokuthunjwa kukaJehoyakini, inkosi yakwaJuda , ngenyanga yeshumi nambili , ngolwamashumi amabili nanhlanu lwenyanga , u-Evili Merodaki inkosi yaseBabele ngomnyaka wokuqala wokubusa kwakhe waphakamisa ikhanda likaJehoyakini inkosi yakwaJuda, wamkhipha etilongweni,

Isabelo sakhe sasiyisabelo esimiyo semihla ngemihla , asiphiwa yinkosi yaseBabele zonke izinsuku zokuhamba kwakhe kwaze kwaba sosukwini lokufa kwakhe.
