| 1. | Ilizwi elafikayo kuYeremiya, livela kuYehova, akubonÂ’ ukuba uNebhukadenetsare ukumkani waseBhabheli, enempi yakhe yonke, nezikumkani zonke zelizwe eliselulawulweni lwesandla sakhe, nezizwe zonke, uyalwa neYerusalem nemizi yayo yonke: lalisithi, |
| 2. | Utsho uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, ukuthi, Yiya, uthethe kuZedekiya ukumkani wakwaYuda, uthi kuye, Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Yabona, ndiyawunikela lo mzi esandleni sokumkani waseBhabheli, ukuba awutshise ngomlilo. |
| 3. | Ke wena akuyi kusinda esandleni sakhe; inene, uya kubanjwa, unikelwe esandleni sakhe, amehlo akho awabone amehlo okumkani waseBhabheli, umlomo wakhe uthethe nomlomo wakho, uve nawe eBhabheli. |
| 4. | Kodwa live ilizwi likaYehova, Zedekiya kumkani wakwaYuda; utsho uYehova ngawe, ukuthi, Akuyi kufa likrele, |
| 5. | Uya kufa unoxolo; ngokutshiselwa kooyihlo, ookumkani bamandulo ababekho ngaphambi kwakho, baya kwenjenjalo ukukutshisela; bakumbambazelele, besithi, Athi ke mna, nkosi! Ngokuba mna ndilithethile ilizwi; utsho uYehova. |
| 6. | Wawathetha ke uYeremiya umprofeti loo mazwi onke kuZedekiya ukumkani wakwaYuda, eYerusalem, |
| 7. | yakubonÂ’ ukuba impi yokumkani waseBhabheli iyalwa neYerusalem, nemizi yonke yakwaYuda eseleyo, neLakishe, neAzeka; ngokuba kwakusele yona emizini yakwaYuda, iyimizi enqatyisiweyo. |
| 8. | Ilizwi elafikayo kuYeremiya, livela kuYehova, emveni kokwenza kokumkani uZedekiya umnqophiso nabantu bonke baseYerusalem, wokuvakalisa kubo inkululeko: |
| 9. | owokuba elowo andulule ikhoboka lakhe, elowo ikhobokazana lakhe elingumHebhere, elingumHebherekazi, elikhulule, kungabikho umkhonzisayo umYuda umzalwana wakhe. |
| 10. | Baphulaphula ke abathetheli bonke nabantu bonke, abangenayo emnqophisweni wokuba elowo andulule ikhoboka lakhe, elowo ikhobokazana lakhe, elikhulule, angabi sabakhonzisa; baphulaphula ke, babandulula. |
| 11. | Emveni koko bajika, bawabuyisa amakhoboka namakhobokazana ababewandulule bewakhulule, bawaxinzelela ekubeni ngamakhoboka namakhobokazana. |
| 12. | Kwafika ke ilizwi likaYehova kuYeremiya, livela kuYehova, lisithi, |
| 13. | Utsho uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, ukuthi, Mna ndenza umnqophiso nooyihlo, mini ndabakhupha ezweni laseYiputa, endlwini yobukhoboka; |
| 14. | ndathi, Ekupheleni kweminyaka esixhenxe, ize nindulule elowo umzalwana wakhe ongumHebhere, owazithengisayo kuwe; wokukhonza iminyaka emithandathu, umndulule kuwe, umkhulule; ke ooyihlo abandiphulaphulanga, abandithobelanga ndlebe. |
| 15. | Nina ke nibuyile namhla, nenza okuthe tye emehlweni am ngokuvakalisa inkululeko, elowo kummelwane wakhe, nenza umnqophiso phambi kwam endlwini ebizwe ngegama lam; |
| 16. | nasuka najika, nalihlambela igama lam, nabuyisa elowo ikhoboka lakhe, elowo ikhobokazana lakhe, enaniwandulule, niwakhulule ngokuthanda kwawo; nawaxinzelela ekubeni ngamakhoboka namakhobokazana kuni. |
| 17. | Ngako oko, utsho uYehova ukuthi, Anindiphulaphulanga ngokuvakalisa inkululeko, elowo kumzalwana wakhe, elowo kummelwane wakhe; yabonani, ndivakalisa kuni inkululeko, utsho uYehova, yokuya ekreleni, nasendlaleni, nasendyikityeni yokufa, ndininikele kwizikumkani zonke zehlabathi, ukuze nibe yinto yokunqakulisa. |
| 18. | Ndiya kuwenza amadoda awugqithileyo umnqophiso wam, angawagcinanga amazwi omnqophiso awawenzayo phambi kwam, abe lelo thole alicanda kubini, acanda phakathi kwezahlulo zenyama yalo. |
| 19. | Abathetheli bakwaYuda, nabathetheli baseYerusalem, namagosa, nababingeleli, nabantu bonke belizwe abacandayo phakathi kwezahlulo zethole, |
| 20. | ndiya kubanikela ezandleni zeentshaba zabo, nasezandleni zabafuna umphefumlo wabo, zidliwe izidumbu zabo ziintaka zezulu nangamarhamncwa omhlaba. |
| 21. | UZedekiya ke ukumkani wakwaYuda, nabathetheli bakhe, ndiya kubanikela esandleni sabafuna umphefumlo wabo, nasesandleni sempi yokumkani waseBhabheli, yona leyo yemkayo kuni. |
| 22. | Yabona, ndiwisa umthetho, utsho uYehova, wokuba ndibabuyisele kulo mzi, balwe nawo, bawuthimbe, bawutshise ngomlilo, ndiyenze amanxuwa imizi yakwaYuda, ingemiwa. |
