2 IziKronike 36 Amanye amakhosi akwaJuda

¹ Abantu bezwe basebemthatha uJowahazi indodana kaJosiya, bambeka inkosi eJerusalema esikhundleni sikayise.

² UJehowahazi wayeneminyaka engamashumi amabili nantathu ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa izinyanga ezintathu eJerusalema;

³ Inkosi yaseGibithe yahlala phansi eJerusalema, yahlulela izwe amathalenta ayikhulu esiliva netalenta legolide.

⁴ Inkosi yaseGibithe yabeka u-Eliyakimi umfowabo inkosi kwaJuda naseJerusalema, yaguqula igama lakhe laba nguJehoyakimi. UNego wamthatha uJehowahazi umfowabo, wamyisa eGibithe.

⁵ UJehoyakimi wayeneminyaka engamashumi amabili nanhlanu ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa iminyaka eyishumi nanye eJerusalema; wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe.

⁶ UNebukadinesari, inkosi yaseBabele, wenyukela kuye, wambopha ngozankosi, ukuze amyise eBabele.

⁷ UNebukadinesari waletha ezinye zezitsha zendlu kaJehova eBhabhiloni wazibeka ethempelini lakhe eBhabhiloni.

⁸ Ezinye izindaba zikaJehoyakimi nezinengiso zakhe azenzayo, ezafunyanwa kuye, bheka, zilotshiwe encwadini yamakhosi akwa-Israyeli nakwaJuda; uJehoyakini indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.

⁹ UJehoyakini wayeneminyaka eyisishiyagalombili ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa izinyanga ezintathu nezinsuku eziyishumi eJerusalema; wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova.

¹⁰ Lapho umnyaka usuphelile, inkosi uNebukadinesari yathumela yamyisa eBhabhiloni kanye nezitsha ezinhle zendlu kaJehova, yabeka umfowabo uZedekiya inkosi kwaJuda naseJerusalema.

¹¹ USedekiya wayeneminyaka engamashumi amabili nanye ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa, wabusa iminyaka eyishumi nanye eJerusalema;

¹² Wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe, akazithobanga phambi kukaJeremiya umprofethi owakhuluma ngomlomo kaJehova.

¹³ Naye wahlubuka enkosini uNebukadinesari, eyamfungisa uNkulunkulu;

¹⁴ Ngaphezu kwalokho, bonke abapristi abakhulu nabantu baphambuka kakhulu ngokwazo zonke izinengiso zabezizwe; wangcolisa indlu kaJehova abeyingcwelisile eJerusalema.

¹⁵ UJehova, uNkulunkulu wawoyise, wathuma kubo ngezithunywa zakhe, wathuma ngesikhathi; ngokuba wayehawukele abantu bakhe nendawo yakhe yokuhlala;

¹⁶ Kodwa baziklolodela izithunywa zikaNkulunkulu, bawadelela amazwi akhe, bathuka abaprofethi bakhe, kwaze kwafika intukuthelo kaJehova ngabantu bakhe, kwaze kwangabangakho ukuphulukiswa.

¹⁷ Ngakho wabehlisela inkosi yamaKhaladiya eyabulala izinsizwa zabo ngenkemba endlini yendlu yabo engcwele, futhi ayizange ihawukele insizwa noma intombi, ixhegu noma okhothama ngenxa yobudala. Akahambanga; wabanika bonke esandleni sakhe.

¹⁸ Zonke izitsha zendlu kaNkulunkulu, ezinkulu nezincane, nengcebo yendlu kaJehova, nengcebo yenkosi neyezikhulu zayo; konke lokhu wakuyisa eBabele.

¹⁹ Bayishisa indlu kaNkulunkulu, badiliza ugange lwaseJerusalema, bashisa zonke izigodlo zalo ngomlilo, bachitha zonke izitsha zalo ezinhle.

²⁰ Abaphunyukileyo enkembeni yabathumba, yabayisa eBabele; lapho babeyizinceku zakhe nezamadodana akhe kwaze kwaba sembusweni wombuso wasePheresiya.

²¹ Ukuba kugcwaliseke izwi likaJehova ngomlomo kaJeremiya, izwe laneliswe ngamasabatha alo;

²² Kwathi ngomnyaka wokuqala kaKoresi, inkosi yasePheresiya, ukuze kugcwaliseke izwi likaJehova elakhulunywa ngomlomo kaJeremiya, uJehova wavusa umoya kaKoresi inkosi yasePheresiya ukuba enze ithempeli. Isimemezelo embusweni wakhe wonke, futhi wasibhala, wathi:

²³ Usho kanje uKoresi, inkosi yasePheresiya, uthi: “Imibuso yonke yomhlaba iphiwe mina nguJehova uNkulunkulu wezulu; wangiyala ukuba ngimakhele indlu eJerusalema lakwaJuda. Ngubani phakathi kwenu kubo bonke abantu bakhe? UJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe makabe naye, akhuphuke.
