| 1. | Ke kaloku uShefatiya unyana kaMatan, noGedaliya unyana kaPashure, noYukali unyana kaShelemiya, noPashure unyana kaMalekiya, baweva amazwi abewathetha uYeremiya kubantu bonke, esithi, |
| 2. | Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Ohlala kulo mzi wofa likrele, nayindlala, nayindyikitya yokufa; ophuma aye kumaKaledi wophila, ube lixhoba kuye umphefumlo wakhe, aphile. |
| 3. | Utsho uYehova ukuthi, Lo mzi uya kunikelwa esandleni sempi yokumkani waseBhabheli, awuthimbe. |
| 4. | Bathi ke abathetheli kukumkani, Mayibulawe le ndoda, ngokuba ngokwenjenje iwisa izandla zamadoda okulwa, aseleyo kulo mzi, nezandla zabantu bonke, ngokuthetha kubo amazwi anje; ngokuba le ndoda ayilungxamele uxolo lwaba bantu, ingxamele ububi babo. |
| 5. | Wathi ukumkani uZedekiya, Yabonani, usezandleni zenu; ngokuba ukumkani engenakuthini engenani. |
| 6. | Bamthabatha uYeremiya, bamphosa emhadini kaMalekiya unyana wokumkani, obusentendelezweni yabalindi; bamhlisa uYeremiya ngezintya emhadini, lowo ungenamanzi, unodaka; watshona eludakeni uYeremiya. |
| 7. | Weva uEbhedi-meleki umKushi, indoda elithenwa, ebisendlwini yokumkani, ukuba bamfake emhadini uYeremiya; ukumkani ke ubehleli esangweni lakwaBhenjamin. |
| 8. | Waphuma uEbhedi-meleki endlwini yokumkani, wathetha kukumkani, esithi, |
| 9. | Nkosi yam, kumkani, la madoda enze into embi ngako konke akwenzileyo kuYeremiya umprofeti lo, amphosa emhadini; uya kufa yindlala kuloo ndawo akuyo, ngokuba akusekho sonka kulo mzi. |
| 10. | Ukumkani wamwisela umthetho uEbhedi-meleki umKushi, esithi, Thabatha apha amadoda angamashumi amathathu asesandleni sakho umrhole uYeremiya umprofeti emhadini, engekafi. |
| 11. | UEbhedi-meleki wathabatha amadoda lawo asesandleni sakhe, waya endlwini yokumkani ngaphantsi kwendlu yobuncwane, wathabatha khona amadlavu eengubo ezikrazukileyo nawezonakeleyo, wawathobela kuYeremiya emhadini ngezintya. |
| 12. | Wathi uEbhedi-meleki umKushi kuYeremiya, Khawubeke la madlavu eengubo ezikrazukileyo nawezonakeleyo phantsi kwamakhwapha akho ngaphantsi kwezintya. Wenjenjalo uYeremiya. |
| 13. | Bamrhola uYeremiya ngezintya, bamnyusa emhadini; uYeremiya wahlala entendelezweni yabalindi. |
| 14. | Wathuma ukumkani uZedekiya, wamthabathela kuye uYeremiya umprofeti, ekungeneni emnyango wesithathu osendlwini kaYehova. Wathi ukumkani kuYeremiya, Ndiya kukubuza indawo; uze ungafihli nto kum. |
| 15. | Wathi uYeremiya kuZedekiya, Ukuba ndithe ndakuxelela, akuyi kundibulala undibulale na? Nokuba ndithe ndakucebisa, akuyi kundiphulaphula. |
| 16. | Ukumkani uZedekiya wamfungela uYeremiya ngasese, esithi, Ehleli nje uYehova, owasenzela lo mphefumlo, inene, andiyi kukubulala, andiyi kukunikela ezandleni zaloo madoda awufunayo umphefumlo wakho. |
| 17. | Wathi uYeremiya kuZedekiya, Utsho uYehova, uThixo wemikhosi, uThixo kaSirayeli, ukuthi, Ukuba uthe waphuma ukuphuma oku, waya kubathetheli bokumkani waseBhabheli, wophila umphefumlo wakho, nalo mzi ungatshiswa ngomlilo; uphile wena nendlu yakho; |
| 18. | ke ukuba uthe akwaphuma uye kubathetheli bokumkani waseBhabheli, lo mzi wonikelwa esandleni samaKaledi, awutshise ngomlilo, wena ke ungasindi esandleni sawo. |
| 19. | Ukumkani uZedekiya wathi kuYeremiya, Ndinesithukuthezi ngamaYuda aphambele kumaKaledi, hleze andinikele esandleni sawo, afekethe ngam. |
| 20. | Wathi uYeremiya, Akayi kukunikela. Khawuliphulaphule izwi likaYehova, ngokoko ndilithethileyo kuwe; kolunga kuwe, uphile umphefumlo wakho. |
| 21. | Ke ukuba uthe akwavuma ukuphuma, nali ilizwi andibonise lona uYehova, lokuthi, |
| 22. | Yabona, bonke abafazi abaseleyo endlwini yokumkani wakwaYuda, baya kukhutshwa basiwe kubathetheli bokumkani waseBhabheli, bathi abafazi abo, Amadoda axolelene nawe akuxhokonxile, akweyisile; zitshonile nje emgxobhozweni iinyawo zakho, wona abuya umva. |
| 23. | Ke bonke abafazi bakho noonyana bakho baya kukhutshwa, basiwe kumaKaledi, ungasindi wena esandleni sawo; ke wena uya kubanjwa sisandla sokumkani waseBhabheli, utshisise lo mzi ngomlilo. |
| 24. | UZedekiya wathi kuYeremiya, La mazwi makangaziwa mntu, ukuze ungafi. |
| 25. | Xa ke bathe beva abathetheli ukuba ndithethe nawe, beza kuwe, bathi kuwe, Khawusixelele oko ukuthethileyo kukumkani; musa ukukufihla kuthi, asiyi kukubulala; kwanakuthethileyo ukumkani kuwe: |
| 26. | wothi kubo, Ndiwise utarhuziso lwam phambi kokumkani, ukuba angandibuyiseli endlwini kaYonatan, ndifele khona. |
| 27. | Beza kuYeremiya bonke abathetheli, bambuza; wabaxelela ngokwaloo mazwi onke abewise umthetho ngawo ukumkani. Bathi tu, bemka kuye; ngokuba ayivakalanga le nto. |
| 28. | Wahlala uYeremiya entendelezweni yabalindi, kwada kwangumhla eyathinjwa ngawo iYerusalem. |
