Jeremiya 52 Ukubhujiswa kweJerusalema

¹ USedekiya wayeneminyaka engamashumi amabili nanye ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa iminyaka eyishumi nanye eJerusalema; Igama likanina lalinguHamuthali, indodakazi kaJeremiya, waseLibina.

² Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova njengoJehoyakimi.

³ Ngoba ngolaka lukaJehova kwenzeka eJerusalema nakwaJuda, waze wabaxosha ebusweni bakhe; uZedekiya wayihlubuka inkosi yaseBabele.

⁴ Kwathi ngomnyaka wesishiyagalolunye wokubusa kwakhe, ngenyanga yeshumi, ngosuku lweshumi lwenyanga, uNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, wafika eJerusalema nayo yonke impi yakhe, wamisa ngakulo, wakha izinqaba. Ngokumelene nalo nxazonke.

⁵ Umuzi wavinjezelwa kwaze kwaba ngumnyaka weshumi nanye wenkosi uSedekiya.

⁶ Ngenyanga yesine, ngosuku lwesishiyagalolunye lwenyanga, indlala yayinzima emzini, kangangokuthi abantu bezwe babengenakudla.

⁷ Umuzi wabhodlozwa, wonke amaqhawe abaleka, aphuma emzini ebusuku ngesango eliphakathi kwemiduli emibili eyayingasensimini yenkosi; AmaKaledi ayezungeza umuzi, ahamba indlela yawo eya ethafeni.

⁸ Kepha impi yamaKaledi yayixosha inkosi, yamfica uZedekiya emathafeni aseJeriko; yonke impi yakhe yahlakazeka isuka kuye.

⁹ Bayibamba inkosi, bayiyisa enkosini yaseBabele eRibila ezweni laseHamati; lapho amgweba khona.

¹⁰ Inkosi yaseBabele yabulala amadodana kaSedekiya phambi kwamehlo akhe; wazibulala zonke izikhulu zakwaJuda eRibila.

¹¹ Wakhipha amehlo kaZedekiya; inkosi yaseBabele yambopha ngamaketanga, yamyisa eBabele, yamfaka etilongweni kwaze kwaba lusuku lokufa kwakhe.

¹² Ngenyanga yesihlanu, ngolweshumi lwenyanga, okungumnyaka weshumi nesishiyagalolunye kaNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi, owayesebenzela inkosi yaseBabele, wafika eJerusalema;

¹³ indlu kaJehova nendlu yenkosi zasha; zonke izindlu zaseJerusalema nazo zonke izindlu zezikhulu wazishisa ngomlilo.

¹⁴ Yonke impi yamaKaledi eyayinenduna yemilindankosi yadiliza zonke izindonga zaseJerusalema nxazonke.

¹⁵ Khona-ke uNebuzaradani, induna yabalindi, nabanye babampofu babantu, nensali yabantu ababesele emzini, nabahlubukayo, abahlubuka enkosini yaseBabele, nabanye abantu bahola. Kude njengeziboshwa.

¹⁶ Kodwa uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi watshiya abanye babampofu belizwe kubalimi bewayini labalimi.

¹⁷ Futhi izinsika zethusi ezazisendlini kaJehova, nezitsha zokugezela nolwandle lwethusi okwakusendlini kaJehova amaKhaledi akuhlephula alithatha kuzo lonke ithusi aliyisa eBhabhiloni.

¹⁸ Nemiganu, nefosholo, nezitsha, nezitsha, nezinkezo, nezitsha zonke zethusi ababekhonza ngazo, bathatha.

¹⁹ Nezitsha, nemicengezi yomlilo, nezitsha, nezinkezo, nezinti zezibani, nezinkezo, nezinkezo; okwakuyigolide elisegolide, nalokho okwakuyisiliva esiliva, induna yemilindankosi yakuthatha.

²⁰ Izinsika ezimbili, nolwandle olulodwa, nezinkunzi eziyishumi nambili zethusi ezaziphansi kwezinqe inkosi uSolomoni eyazenza endlini kaJehova, ithusi lazo zonke lezi zinto lalingenakulinganiswa.

²¹ Izinsika, ukuphakama kwenye insika kwakuyizingalo eziyishumi nesishiyagalombili; umucu oyizingalo eziyishumi nambili wawuzungeza; uhlonze lwalo lwaluyiminwe emine; yayiyize.

²² Kwakukhona isihloko sethusi phezu kwawo; ukuphakama kwesihloko esisodwa kwakuyizingalo eziyisihlanu, kukhona ukwelukiweyo nezinsingo phezu kwesihloko nxazonke, konke kwakungokwethusi. Nensika yesibili namabhomu kwakunje.

²³ Kwakukhona amapomegranati angamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye nesithupha ngalapha; zonke izigqoko zasemlukweni zaziyikhulu nxazonke.

²⁴ Induna yabalindi yathatha uSeraya umpristi omkhulu, noZefaniya, umpristi wesibili, nabalindisango abathathu.

²⁵ Wathatha nomthenwa emzini, owayephezu kwamadoda empi; namadoda ayisikhombisa ayeseceleni kwenkosi afunyanwa emzini; nombhali omkhulu wempi, owabutha abantu bezwe; namadoda angamashumi ayisithupha kubantu bezwe afunyanwa phakathi komuzi.

²⁶ UNebuzaradani induna yabalindi wabathatha wabayisa enkosini yaseBabele eRibila.

²⁷ Inkosi yaseBabele yabashaya, yababulala eRibila ezweni laseHamati. Kanjalo uJuda wathunjwa wasuswa ezweni lakubo.

²⁸ Laba ngabantu uNebukadinesari abathumbile: ngomnyaka wesikhombisa abaJuda abayizinkulungwane ezintathu namashumi amabili nantathu;

²⁹ Ngomnyaka weshumi nesishiyagalombili kaNebukadinesari wathumba eJerusalema abantu abangamakhulu ayisishiyagalombili namashumi amathathu nambili.

³⁰ Ngomnyaka wamashumi amabili nantathu kaNebukadinesari uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi wathumba phakathi kwabaJuda abantu abangamakhulu ayisikhombisa namashumi amane nanhlanu; bonke abantu babe yizinkulungwane ezine namakhulu ayisithupha.

³¹ Kwathi ngomnyaka wamashumi amathathu nesikhombisa wokuthunjwa kukaJehoyakini inkosi yakwaJuda, ngenyanga yeshumi nambili, ngosuku lwamashumi amabili nanhlanu lwenyanga, u-Evilimerodaki, inkosi yaseBabele, ngomnyaka wokuqala wokubusa kwakhe. Wabusa inhloko kaJehoyakini, inkosi yakwaJuda, wamkhipha etilongweni,

³² Wakhuluma kahle kuye, wabeka isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi ngaphezu kwezihlalo zobukhosi zamakhosi ayenaye eBabele;

³³ Wakhumula izingubo zakhe zasetilongweni, wadla isinkwa phambi kobuso bakhe zonke izinsuku zokuhamba kwakhe.

³⁴ Ngokudla kwakhe waphiwa ukudla kwaphakade okuvela enkosini yaseBhabhiloni, ingxenye yansuku zonke kwaze kwaba lusuku lokufa kwakhe, zonke izinsuku zokuhamba kwakhe.
