Ngokuba uNkulunkulu uzakulisindisa iSiyoni , akhe imizi yakwaJuda; bazakuhlala khona, ibe yifa labo.

INkosi ilahlile onke amaqhawe ami phakathi kwami ; ingibizele umhlangano ukuphahlaza izinsizwa zami ; iNkosi inyathele njengasesikhamweni sewayini intombi eyindodakazi yakwaJuda.

ngiyakumembathisa ingubo yakho, ngimqinise ngebhande lakho, nginikeze ukubusa kwakho esandleni sakhe , abe nguyise kwabakhileyo eJerusalema nakuyo indlu yakwaJuda.

Kwathi ngomnyaka weshumi nane wenko si uHezekiya, uSaneheribi, inkosi yase-Asiriya, wenyuka wahlasela yonke imizi ebiyelweyo yakwaJuda , wayithatha.

Niyakukhuluma kanje kuHezekiya, inkosi yakwaJuda, nithi: UNkulunkulu wakho omethembayo makangakukhohlisi ngokuthi iJerusalema aliyikunikelwa esandleni senkosi yase-Asiriya.

Abasindileyo bendlu yakwaJuda abaseley o bayakubuye bagxile p hansi, bathele izithelo phezulu.

Ihubo likaHezekiya inkosi yakwaJuda lapho wayekade egula , wasinda ekuguleni kwakhe:

Khuphukela entabeni ende , wena, Siyoni, obika okujabulisayo, uphakamise ngamandla izwi lakho , wena Jerusalema obika okujabulisayo , uliphakamise ungesabi, usho emizini yakwaJuda ukuthi : Bhekani, nangu uNkulunkulu wenu.

ogcwalisa izwi lenceku yakhe , afeze ukululekana kwezithunywa zakhe , oshoyo ngalo iJerusalema , athi: Liyakuba nabantu , nangemizi yakwaJuda ukuthi: Iyakwakhiwa, ngibuye ngivuse incithakalo yakhona;

Kwathi ezinsukwini zik a-Ahazi indodana kaJothamu ka -Uziya, inkosi yakwaJuda, uResini inkosi yase-Aramu noPheka indodana kaRemaliya, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, bakhuphukela eJerusalema ukulwa nalo , kepha babengenakulinqoba.

Ngomnyaka wesithathu wokubusa kukaJehoyakimi , inkosi yakwaJuda , kwafika uNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, eJerusalema, walivimbezela.

INkosi yanikela esandleni sakhe uJehoyakimi, inkosi yakwaJuda, nenxenye yezitsha zendlu kaNkulunkulu , waziyisa ezweni laseShineyari endlini kankulunkulu wakhe, waziyisa izitsha endlini yengcebo kankulunkulu wakhe.

Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Ngenxa yokuba u -Edomi ephathe indlu yakwaJuda ngokuphindisela, wacunula nokucunula, waziphindisela kubo,

uthi kubantwana bakwa -Amoni: Zwanini izwi leNkosi uJehova ; isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Ngokuba wathi ashila ngendlu yami engcwele lapho yangcoliswa, nangezwe lapho lachithwa , nangendlu yakwaJuda lapho beya ekuthunjweni,

Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Ngenxa yokuba oMowabi noSeyiri besho ukuthi: Bheka, indlu yakwaJuda injengazo zonke izizwe,

Nxa usuziqedile lezi , uyakulala ngohlangothi lwakho lokunene , uthwale ukona kwendlu yakwaJuda , ngikunqumele izinsuku ezingamashumi amane , yilolo nalolo suku lube ngumnyaka.

Wathi kimi: Uyakubona lokhu wena ndodana yomuntu na ? Kuyinto elula kuyo indlu yakwaJuda ukwenza izinengiso abazenzayo lapho na ? Ngokuba sebeligcwalisile izwe ngobudlova , babuye bangicunula . Bhekani, babeka amagatsha emakhaleni abo.

Kepha indlu yakwaJuda ngiyakuyihawukela, ngibasindise ngoJehova uNkulunkulu wabo, ngingabasindisi ngomnsalo, nangenkemba, nangokulwa, nangamahhashi, nangabamahhashi.

Mina-ke senginjengenundu ku -Efrayimi, nanjengokubola kuyo indlu yakwaJuda.

Ngokuba ngiyakuba njengengonyama ku -Efrayimi, nebhongo lengonyama kuyo indlu yakwaJuda ; mina yebo , mina ngiyakudwengula , besengimuka; ngiyakususa, kungekho owophulayo.

Bheka, kusondela izwi lombiko , nokuzamazama okukhulu okuvela ezweni lasenyakatho, ukuba kwenze imizi yakwaJuda ibe yincithakalo, indawo yokuhlala kwamakhanka.

Imizi yakwaJuda nabakhileyo eJerusalema bayakukha la konkulunkulu ababashisela impepho , kepha abayikubasindisa neze ngesikhathi sokuhlupheka kwabo.

UJehova Sebawoti owakutshala ukhulumile okubi phe zu kwakho ngenxa yokubi kwendlu yakwa -Israyeli nokwendlu yakwaJuda abakwenzile ukuba bangicunule ngokushisela uBali impepho.

Wayesethi uJehova kimi : Memeza onke lawa mazwi emizini yakwaJuda nasezitaladini zaseJerusalema , uthi: Zwanini amazwi alesi sivumelwano , niwenze.

Usho kanje uJehova ngabakhelwane bonke bami ababi , abalithinta ifa lami engabanika lona abantu bami u -Israyeli, uthi: Bheka, ngiyakubasiphula ezweni lakubo, ngiyisiphule indlu yakwaJuda phakathi kwabo.

Ngokuba njengalokhu ibhande linamathela okhalweni lomuntu , kanjalo ngiyinamathelisile kimi yonke indlu yakwa -Israyeli nayo yonke indlu yakwaJuda, usho uJehova , U kuba babe ngabantu bami , negama, nodumo, nendumiso, kepha kabalalelanga. Izimvaba ezaphukileyo

Ngiyakubenza ukuba bahlupheke emibusweni yonke yomhlaba ngenxa kaManase indodana kaHezekiya , inkosi yakwaJuda , ngalokho akwenza eJerusalema.

Bayakufika bephuma emizini yakwaJuda, nasemaphandleni aseJerusalema, nasezweni lakwaBenjamini, nasehlanzeni, nasezintabeni, naseningizimu, beletha iminikelo yokushiswa , nemihlatshelo, neminikelo yempuphu , nenhlaka, befika neminikelo yokubonga endlini kaJehova.

Ngokuba bheka, ngiyakubiza yonke imindeni yemibuso yasenyakatho, usho uJehova. Iyakufika, yilowo nalowo ubeke isihlalo sawo sobu khosi ezikhaleni zamasango aseJerusalema , nakuzo zonke izingange zalo nxazonke , nakuyo yonke imizi yakwaJuda.

Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova ngendlu yenkosi yakwaJuda, uthi: UyiGileyadi kimi, nekhanda laseLebanoni ; impela ngiyakukwenza ube yihlane nemizi engahlalwa muntu.

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.

Kepha njengamakhiwane amabi engenakudliwa ngobubi bawo , impela kanjalo, usho kanje uJehova , ngiyakwenza kuSedekiya inkosi yakwaJuda , nasezikhulwini zakhe , nakuyo insali yaseJerusalema , abasele kuleli zwe nabakhile ezweni laseGibithe.

Kusukela emnyakeni weshumi nantathu kaJosiya indodana ka -Amoni, inkosi yakwaJuda , kuze kube namuhla , le minyaka engamashumi amabili nantathu izwi likaJehova lifikile kimi, ngalikhuluma, ngilisho kini njalonjalo, kepha kanilalelanga.

Ekuqaleni kokubusa kukaJehoyakimi indodana kaJosiya , inkosi yakwaJuda, kwafika leli zwi livela kuJehova, lathi:

UMika waseMoresheti waprofetha ezinsukwini zikaHezekiya inkosi yakwaJuda, washo kubo bonke abantu bakwaJuda , wathi: U sho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uthi: ISiyoni liyakulinywa njengensimu, iJerusalema libe yincithakalo, intaba yendlu ibe yizindawo eziphakemeyo zamahlathi.

UHezekiya inko si yakwaJuda naye wonke uJuda bambulala impela na ? Angithi bamesaba uJehova , bamncenga uJehova , uJehova wabuya kukho okubi ayekukhulume kubo , na? Besiyakwenza okubi okukhulu kuyo imiphefumulo yethu.

Izwi elafika kuJeremiya livela kuJehova ngomnyaka weshumi kaSedekiya inkosi yakwaJuda , owawungumnyaka weshumi nesishiyagalombili kaNebukadinesari.

Ngaleso sikhathi impi yenkosi yaseBabele yalivimbezela iJerusalema ; uJeremiya umprofethi wayevalelwe egcekeni letilongo elalisendlini yenkosi yakwaJuda,

lapho uSedekiya inkosi yakwaJuda ebemvalele khona ngokuthi : Uprofethelani uthi : U sho kanje uJehova , uthi: Bheka, ngiyakuwunikela lo muzi esandleni senkosi yaseBabele, iwuthathe,

Amasimu ayakuthengwa ngemali , kulotshwe encwadini , kunamatheliswe, kufakazelwe ngofakazi ezweni lakwaBenjamini , nasemaphethelweni aseJerusalema, nasemizini yakwaJuda, nasemizini yasezintabeni, nasemizini yasehlanzeni, nasemizini yaseningizimu, ngokuba ngiyakukubuyisa ukuthunjwa kwabo, usho uJehova.

Usho kanje uJehova , uthi: Kuyakubuye kuzwakale kule ndawo enithi ngayo ichithekile , ayinamuntu nazilwane , nasemizini yakwaJuda nasezitaladini zaseJerusalema ezichithekileyo ezingenamuntu nazilwane,

Emizini yasezintabeni, nasemizini yasehlanzeni, nasemizini yaseningizimu, nasezweni lakwaBenjamini , nasemaphethelweni aseJerusalema , nasemizini yakwaJuda izimvu ziyakubuye zidlule phansi kwezandla zozibalayo , usho uJehova.

Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Hamba usho kuSedekiya inkosi yakwaJuda , uthi kuye : U sho kanje uJehova , uthi: Bheka, ngiyakuwunikela lo muzi esandleni senkosi yaseBabele, iwushise ngomlilo.

Bheka, ngiyakubayala, usho uJehova, ngibabuyisele kulo muzi; bayakulwa nawo, bawuthathe, bawushise ngomli lo, ngenze imizi yakwaJuda ibe yincithakalo ingahlalwa muntu.

Kepha yizwa izwi likaJehova , Sedekiya, nkosi yakwaJuda . Usho kanje uJehova ngawe, uthi: Awuyikufa ngenkemba;

UJeremiya umprofethi wayesekhuluma onke lawo mazwi kuSedekiya inkosi yakwaJuda eJerusalema,

lapho impi yenkosi yaseBabele ilwa neJerusalema nayo yonk e imizi yakwaJuda eseleyo , iLakishi ne -Azeka, ngokuba yiyo eyayisele phakathi kwemizi yakwaJuda iyimizi ebiyelweyo.

Izwi elafika kuJeremiya livela kuJehova ezinsukwini zikaJehoyakimi indodana kaJosiya, inkosi yakwaJuda, lathi:

Buya, uzithathele omunye umqulu , ulobe kuwo onke amazwi okuqala ayesemqulwini wokuqala, awushisa uJehoyakimi inkosi yakwaJuda.

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?

Mhlawumbe indlu yakwaJuda iyakuzwa konke okubi engicabanga ukukwenza kuyo ukuba ibuye , kube yilo wo nalowo endleleni yakhe embi , ngiyithethelele amacala ayo nezono zayo.

Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova ngoJehoyakimi inkosi yakwaJuda , uthi: Akayikuba namuntu wokuhlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavide ; isidumbu sakhe siyakuntshingwa ekushiseni kwasemini nasesithwathweni sasebusuku.

UJeremiya wayesethatha omunye umqulu , wawunika uBaruki umbhali , indodana kaNeri ya, owaloba kuwo , ewathatha emlonyeni kaJeremiya onke amazwi encwadi uJehoyakimi inkosi yakwaJuda ayeyishisile ngomlilo ; kwathasiselwa kuwo amanye amazwi amaningi anjengawo.

Kwathi ngomnyaka wesihlanu kaJehoyakimi indodana kaJosiya , inkosi yakwaJuda, ngenyanga yesishiyagalolunye bonke abantu baseJerusalema nabo bonke abantu ababevela emizini yakwaJuda beza eJerusalema , bamemezela ukuzila ukudla phambi kukaJehova.

Usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Niyakusho kanje enkosini yakwaJuda eyanithuma kimi ukubuza kimi , nithi: Bheka, impi kaFaro ephume ukunisiza iyakubuyela eGibithe, izwe lakubo.

Bheka, bonke abesifazane abasele endlini yenkosi yakwaJuda bayakukhishelwa izikhulu zenkosi yaseBabele ; bheka, bayakuthi: Abahlobo bakho abakhulu bakududile , bakwahlula; kepha lapho izinyawo zakh e zishone exhaphozini, babuyele emuva.

Kwathi lapho iJerusalema selinqotshiwe ngomnyaka wesishiyagalolunye kaSedekiya, inkosi yakwaJuda , ngenyanga yeshumi kwafika uNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele , nempi yakhe yonke eJerusalema , walivimbezela;

Kwathi lapho uSedekiya inkosi yakwaJuda nawo onke amadoda empi bezibona, babaleka, bephuma emzini ebusuku ngendlela yensimu yenkosi ngesango phakathi kwezingange zombili; waphuma ngendlela yase-Araba.

Ngalezo zinsuku indlu yakwaJuda iyakuya endlini yakwa-Israyeli, ziphume kanyekanye ezweni lasenyakatho , ziye ezweni engalinika oyihlo libe yifa labo.

UJohanani indodana kaKhareya wakhuluma kuGedaliya eMispa ngasese , wathi: Mangihambe ngimbulale u -Ishmayeli indodana kaNethaniya , kungaziwa muntu ; ubeyakukubulalelani, ukuze bonke abaJuda ababuthene kuwe bahlakazake, insali yakwaJuda ichithwe, na?

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.

UJehova ukhulumile ngani ukuthi : Wena nsali yakwaJuda , ungayi eGibithe; yazi nokwazi ukuthi ngifakazile kini namuhla.

Kepha uJohanani ind odana kaKhareya nazo zonke izinduna zempi bayithatha yonke insali yakwaJuda eyayibuye ezizweni zonke eyayixoshelwe kuzo ukuba igogobale ezweni lakwaJuda,

Ngiyakuthatha insali yakwaJuda ebhekise ubuso bayo ukuba ingene ezweni laseGibithe ukuba igogobale khona , baphele bonke , bawe ez weni laseGibithe, baphele ngenkemba nangendlala , abakhulu nabancane bafe ngenkemba nangendlala , babe yisithuko , nesimangaliso, nesiqalekiso, nehlazo.

kungaphunyuki, kungasali muntu ensalini yakwaJuda eye ezweni laseGibithe ukuba igogobale khona ukubuyela ezweni lakwaJuda , efisa ukubuyela kulo ukuba ihlale khona , ngokuba akuyikubuya muntu , abaphunyukileyo bodwa.

Kepha siyakwenza nokwenza onke amazwi aphumile emilonyeni yethu , sishisele inkosikazi yezulu impepho , siyithululele iminikelo yokuphuzwa , njengalokho senzile , thina nawobaba , namakhosi ethu , nezikhulu zethu emizini yakwaJuda nasezitaladini zaseJerusalema, ngokuba sasisuthi isinkwa, sahlala kahle, asabona okubi.

Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uNkulunkulu ka -Israyeli, uthi: Nikubonile konke okubi engikwehlisele phez u kweJerusalema naphezu kwayo yonke imizi yakwaJuda; bhekani, namuhla iyincithakalo, akakho ohlala kuyo

Impepho enayishisa emizini yakwaJuda nasezitaladini zaseJerusalema nina nawoyihlo, namakhosi enu , nezikhulu zenu , nabantu bezwe , uJehova akayikhumbulanga, ayingenanga enhliziyweni yakhe, na?

Abaphunyuka enkembeni bayakubuya ezweni laseGibithe, babuyele ezweni lakwaJuda, bengaba yingcosana ngomumo ; yonke insali yakwaJuda eye ezweni laseGibithe ukuba igogobale khona iyakwazi ukuthi yiliphi izwi eliyakuma, elami noma elabo.

Kwase kuthululwa ukufutheka kwami nentukuthelo yami, kwavutha emizini yakwaJuda nasezitaladini zaseJerusalema , kwaba yincithakalo nokuchitheka njenganamuhla.

Izwi uJeremiya , umprofethi, alikhuluma kuBaruki, indodana kaNeriya , ekulobeni kwakhe lawa mazwi encwadini, ewathatha emlonyeni kaJeremiya, ngomnyaka wesine kaJehoyakimi , indodana kaJosiya , inkosi yakwaJuda , lokuthi:

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

Izwi elafika kuJeremiya umprofethi nge -Elamu ekuqaleni kokubusa kukaSedekiya inkosi yakwaJuda, ngokuthi:

Khumbuzani izizwe ; bhekani, nizwakalise eJerusalem a ukuthi kufika abavimbezeli abaphuma ezweni elikude ; baliphakamisa izwi labo ngakuyo imizi yakwaJuda.

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,

Awuboni ukuthi benzani emizini yakwaJuda nasezitaladini zaseJerusalema na?

Ngiyakuthulisa emizini yakwaJuda nasezitaladini zaseJerusalema izwi lokujabula nezwi lokuthokoza, izwi lomyeni nezwi lomakoti , ngokuba izwe liyakuba yincithakalo.

Ngiyakulenza iJerusalema libe yizinqwab a nekhaya lamakhanka, ngenze imizi yakwaJuda incithakalo, lapho kungahlali muntu khona.

Wayesesondeza imindeni yakwaJuda ; wathatha umndeni wakwaZera , wawusondeza umndeni wakwaZera ngabantu, kwathathwa uZabidi.

Kuyakuthi ngalolo suk u izintaba ziconse iwayini elimnandi , amagquma agobhoze ubisi , yonke imifula yakwaJuda igobhoze amanzi ; kuyakuvela umthombo endlini kaJehova oyakunisela isigodi saseShithimi.

Isiyakuba mihle kuJehova iminikelo yakwaJuda neyeJerusalema njengasezinsukwini zasendulo naseminyakeni yakuqala.

Kepha wena Betlehema Efra tha, omncane ukuba ube phakathi kwemindeni yakwaJuda, ngiyakuphunyelwa ngovela kuwe , ozakuba ngumbusi kwa - Israyeli, okuvela kwakhe kusukela endulo ezinsukwini zaphakade.

Abakwa-Israyeli abaseleyo , abapristi namaLevi , babe semizini yonke yakwaJuda, kwaba yilowo nalowo efeni lakhe.

Nazi izinhloko zezwe ezazihlala eJerusalema ; kepha emizini yakwaJuda bahlala emizini yabo , kwaba yilowo nalowo efeni lakhe : abakwa-Israyeli, nabapristi, namaLevi, namaNethini, nabantwana bezinceku zikaSolomoni.
