Wabhalwa-ke wonke u -Israyeli ngezizukulwane ; bheka, balotshiwe encwadini yamakhosi akwa -Israyeli; uJuda wathunjelw a eBabele ngeziphambeko zakhe.

Wayesefika u -Isaya umprofethi enkosini uHezekiya , wathi kuye : Batheni labo bantu ; beze kuwe bevelaphi na ? Wathi uHezekiya: Bavela ezweni elikude eBabele.

Bheka, izinsuku ziyeza , lapho konke okusendlini yakho nalokho oyihlo abakubekelele khona kuze kube namuhla kuyakuyis wa eBabele; akuyikusala lutho, usho uJehova.

Onke amadoda anaman dla, ayizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa, nezinyanga, nabakhandi, abayinkulungwane, bonke bengamaqhawe azilungiselele ukulwa , nabo inkosi yaseBabele yabayisa eBabele ngokubathumba.

Izinsika zethusi ezazisendlini yenkosi , nezinqe, nolwandle lwethusi okwakusendlini kaJehova amaKaledi akuhlephula , athuthela ithusi lakho eBabele.

wakhuluma kahle kuye, wabeka isihlalo sakhe phezu kwezihlalo zamakhosi ayenaye eBabele.

Abulala amadodana kaSedekiya phambi kwamehlo akhe , akhipha amehlo kaSedekiya, ambopha ngamaketanga, amyisa eBabele.

Ngalokho-ke uJehova wabehlisela izinduna zempi yen kosi yase-Asiriya; zambamba uManase ngamaketanga , zambopha ngawozankosi , zamuyisa eBabele.

Zonke izitsha zendlu kaNkulunkulu , ezinkulu nezincane, nengcebo yendlu kaJehova, nengcebo yenkosi neyezikhulu zayo , konke lokho wakuyisa eBabele.

Abasele enkembeni wabathumbela eBabele ; baba y izinceku zakhe nezamadodana akhe, kwaze kwabusa umbuso wasePheresiya

Kwenyukela kuye uNebukadinesari inkosi yaseBabele , wambopha ngamaketanga ukuba amyise eBabele.

UNebukadinesari wayisa ezinye izitsha zendlu kaJehova eBabele, wazibeka ethempelini lakhe eBabele.

Zonke izitsha zegolide nezesiliva zaziyizinkulungwane eziyisihlanu namakhulu amane. Zonke lezo uSheshebasari wazikhuphula ekukhushulweni kwabathunjwa eBabele ukuya eJerusalema.

Nampa abantwana bezwe abakhuphuka ekuthunjweni kwababethunjiw e bayiswa eBabele nguNebukadinesari , inkosi yaseBabele , babuyela eJerusalema nakwaJuda, kwaba yilowo nalowo emzini wakubo,

Kepha ngokuba obaba bese bemthukuthelisile uNkulunkulu wezulu , wabanikela esandleni sikaNebukadinesari inkosi yaseBabele , umKaledi, owachitha le ndlu, wabamukisa, wabayisa eBabele.

Ngokuba ngolokuqala lwenyanga yokuqala waqala ukukhuphuka eBabele; ngolokuqala lwenyanga yesihlanu wafika eJer usalema ngokwesandla esihle sikaNkulunkulu wakhe esasiphezu kwakhe,

Nazi izinhloko zawoyise , nazi izizukulwane zabakhuphuka nami eBabele ekubuseni kuka-Aritahishashita inkosi:

Ngasekugcineni kwezinyanga eziyishumi nambili wayehamba endlini yamakhosi eBabele.

Ukubusa kwakhe kwaqala eBabele , nase-Ereke, nase-Akade, naseKaline, ezweni laseShineyari.

Ngiyakuleneka inetha lami phezu kwaso , sibanjwe ogibeni lwami ; ngiyakusiyisa eBabele ezweni lamaKaledi. Kepha asiyikulibona, noma sifela khona.

Thana kuyo indlu ehlubukayo: Anazi ukuthi lezi zinto ziyini? Yisho ukuthi: Bheka, inkosi yaseBabele yafika eJerusalema, yathatha inkosi yalo nezikhulu zalo, yabayisa kuyo eBabele.

Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Bheka, ngiyakukwenza ukuba ube luvalo kuwe uqobo nakubo bonke abangane bakho ; bayakuwa ngenkemba yezitha zabo, amehlo akho akubone ; ngiyakunikela wonke uJuda esandleni senkosi yaseBabele, ibathumbele eBabele, ibabulale ngenkemba.

UJehova wangibonisa amaqoma amabili amakhiw ane ebekwe phambi kwethempeli likaJehova , uNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele , esethumbile uJekoniya indodana kaJehoyakimi, inkosi yakwaJuda, nezikhulu zakwaJuda, nezinyanga zomsebenzi , nabakhandi, wabasusa eJerusalema , wabayisa eBabele.

Ngase ngikhuluma kubapristi nakubo bonke laba bantu, ngithi: Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: Ningawalaleli amazwi abaprofethi benu abaprofetha kini ukuthi: Bhekani, izitsha zendlu kaJehova ziyakubuyiswa eBabele masinyane. Ngokuba baprofetha amanga kini.

Kepha uma bengabaprofethi, uma izwi likaNkulunkulu likubo, mabamnxuse uJehova Sebawoti, ukuba izitsha ezisele endlini kaJehova, nasendlini yenkosi yakwaJuda, naseJerusalema zingayi eBabele.

angazithathanga uNebukadinesari inkosi yaseBabele ekuthumbeni kwakhe uJekoniya indodana kaJehoyakimi, inkosi yakwaJuda, eJerusalema, wamyisa eBabele nabakhulu bonke bakwaJuda nabaseJerusalema;

Ziyakuyiswa eBabele , zibe khona , kuze kufike usuku lokuzihambela kwami, usho uJehova. Bese ngizikhuphula, ngizibuyisele kule ndawo.

Ingakapheli iminyaka emibili ngiyakubuyisela kule ndawo zonke izitsha zendlu kaJehova azithatha kule ndawo uNebukadinesari , inkosi yaseBabele, waziyisa eBabele,

ngibuyisele kule ndawo futhi uJekoniya indodana kaJehoyakimi , inkosi yakwaJuda, nabo bonke abathunjwa bakwaJuda abaya eBabele , usho uJehova, ngokuba ngiyakulaphula ijoka lenkosi yaseBabele.

Nanka amazwi encwadi uJeremiya , umprofethi, ayithumayo eseJerusalema kuyo insali yamalunga athunjiweyo , nakubapristi, nakubaprofethi, nakubo bonke abantu ayebathumbile uNebukadinesari eJerusalema , wabayisa eBabele,

Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Lapho iminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa isiphelile eBabele , ngiyakunihambela, ngiqinise phezu kwenu izwi lami elihle ngokunibuyisela kule ndawo.

Ngokuba nishilo ukuthi: UJehova usivusele abaprofethi eBabele.

Kepha yizwani manje izwi likaJehova nina nonke bathunjwa, enginithumile eBabele niphuma eJerusalema.

Ngokuba ngalokho uthumile kithi eBabele , wathi: Kuse kude ; yakhani izindlu, nihlale kuzo; tshalani amasimu, nidle izithelo zawo.

ngesandla sika-Eleyasa indodana kaShafani noGemariya indodana kaHilikiya abathunywa nguSedekiya , inkosi yakwaJuda , eBabele kuNebukadinesari inkosi yaseBabele, athi:

Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, kubo bonke abathunjwa engibenzile ukuba bathunjwe eJerusa lema, bayiswe eBabele , uthi:

yona imyise uSedekiya eBabele , abe khona lapho ngize ngimhambele , usho uJehova; noma nilwa namaKaledi, aniyikuphumelela na?

Awuyikuphunyuka esandleni sayo ; uyakubanjwa nokubanjwa , unikelwe esandleni sayo ; amehlo akho ayakubheka amehlo enkosi yaseB abele, ikhulume nawe umlomo nomlomo; uyakuya eBabele.

Yakhipha namehlo kaSedekiya , yambopha ngamaketanga ukuba imyise eBabele.

Insali yabantu ababesala emzini, nabahlubuki ababehlubukela kuye, nensali yabantu abaseleyo uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi wabathumbela eBabele.

Izwi elafika kuJeremiya livela kuJehova , uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi esemvumele ukuba asuke eRama ngokumthatha eboshiwe ngamaketanga phakathi kwabo b onke abathunjwa baseJerusalema nakwaJuda ababeyakuthunjelwa eBabele.

Bheka, manje sengiyakukhulula namuhla emaketangeni asezandleni zakho . Uma kukuhle emehlweni akho ukuya nami eBabele , woza ngiyakukubheka; kepha uma kukubi emehlweni akho ukuya nami eBabele , kuyeke; bheka, izwe lonke lisebusweni bakho ; lapho kukuhle nalapho kulungile emehlweni akho ukuya khona, yiya lapho.

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,

kepha uBaruki indodana kaNeri ya ukuqhathanisa nathi ukuba sinikelwe esandleni samaKaledi, ukuze asibulale, asithumbele eBabele.

Ngenxa yentukuthelo kaJehova aliyikuhlalwa muntu , kepha liyakuba yincithakalo lonke ; bonke abadlula eBabele bayakumangala , bancimfe ngenxa yazo zonke izinhlupheko zalo.

Kepha umkhululi wabo unamandla , nguJehova Sebawoti igama lakhe ; uyakumela nokumela indaba yab o ukuba aphumuze umhlaba , anyakazise abakhileyo eBabele.

Makufike inkemba phezu kwamaKaledi , usho uJehova , naphezu kwabakhileyo eBabele, naphezu kwezikhulu zalo , naphezu kwezihlakaniphi zalo.

Balekani eBabele , niphume ezweni lamaKaledi , nibe njengezimpongo phambi kwezimvu.

Ngokuba bheka, ngiyakuvusa, ngenyusele eBabele ibandla lezizwe ezinkulu , livela ezweni lasenyakatho , lizihlelele lona , linqotshwe lapho ; imicibisholo yalo iyakuba njengeyeqhawe eliphumelelayo, elingabuyi ze.

Misani ibhanela ngasezingangeni zaseBabele , niqinise umlindo , nimise abalindi, nihlele abaqamekeli, ngokuba uJehova u kuhlosile, futhi wakwenza lokho owakukhuluma kwabakhileyo eBabele.

Ngiyakuthuma abelayo eBabele, balele, balithulule, ngokuba ngosuku lobubi bayakuba kulo nxazonke.

Ngiyakuhambela uBeli eBabele , ngikhiphe emlonyeni wakhe l okhu akugwinyileyo; izizwe azisayikugobhozela kuye , ugange lwaseBabele luyakuwa.

Ngumsindo wokukhala ovela eBabele , nowencithakalo enkulu ophuma ezweni lamaKaledi,

Izwi uJeremiya umprofethi ayala ngalo uSeraya indodana kaNeriya kaMakhaseya ekuhambeni kwakhe noSedekiya inkosi yakwaJuda eya eBabele ngomnyaka wesine wokubusa kwakhe . USeraya wayeyisikhulu sezindawo zokuphumula.

Balekani eBabele, yilowo nalowo akhulule ukuphila kwakhe, ninganqunywa ngokona kwalo , ngokuba kuyisikhathi sempindiselo kaJehova , uyakuliphindisela.

UJeremiya wathi kuSeraya : Ekufikeni kwakho eBabele bhekisisa ukuba ufunde onke lawa mazwi,

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

Izinsika zethusi ezazisendlini yenkosi , nezinqe, nolwandle lwethusi okwakusendlini kaJehova amaKaledi akuhlephula , athuthela lonke ithusi lakho eBabele.
