6 Nje-ke bayibamba ikosi,+ bakhuphukela nayo ekosini yeBhabhiloni eRibhila begodu bayigweba. 7 Babulala amadodana kaTsedekhiya phambi kwakhe aqalile; ngemva kwalokho uNebukadinetsari waphophaza amehlo kaTsedekhiya, wambopha ngamakhamandela wekhopha eenyaweni, weza naye eBhabhiloni.+

17 Ngemva kwalokho, iKosi uTsedekhiya yathumela bona ayokubizwa, ikosi yambuza imibuzo ngemsitheleni endlinayo.*+ Yathi, “Kukhona na okhunye uJehova akutjhwileko?” UJoromiya wathi, “Kukhona!” Waragela phambili wathi, “Uzokunikelwa esandleni sekosi yeBhabhiloni!”+

5 Kodwana amaKhaledi* abagijimisa, abamba uTsedekhiya emmangweni othabaleleko weJerikho.+ Amthumba begodu amletha eKosini yeBhabhiloni uNebukadinetsari eRibhila+ enarheni yeRhamathi+ lapha amgweba khona. 6 Ikosi yeBhabhiloni yathi kurhayilwe amadodana kaTsedekhiya phambi kwakhe eRibhila, begodu ikosi yeBhabhiloni yathi zoke iinkhulu zakwaJuda kufuze zirhayilwe.+ 7 Waphophaza amehlo kaTsedekhiya, ngemva kwalokho wambopha ngeenketani zekhopha bona amlethe eBhabhiloni.+

9 Nje-ke bayibamba ikosi, bakhuphukela nayo ekosini yeBhabhiloni eRibhila enarheni yeRhamathi begodu bayigweba. 10 Babulala amadodana kaTsedekhiya phambi kwakhe aqalile; begodu babulala woke amakhosana wakwaJuda eRibhila. 11 Ngemva kwalokho ikosi yeBhabhiloni yaphophaza amehlo kaTsedekhiya,+ yambopha ngamakhamandela wekhopha eenyaweni, yeza naye eBhabhiloni, yasolo imvalele bewahlongakala.

20 Ngizokuphosela inedami kiyo, izokubanjwa yinedami yokuzuma.+ Ngizoyiletha eBhabhiloni ngiyingenise esahlulelweni ngingene nayo esahlulelweni lapho ngebanga lokungathembeki ekwenzileko ngokujamelene nami.+
