14 Yasa iJerusalema loke ekudingisweni, woke amakhosana,+ zoke iingorho nazo zoke iinsebenzi zobukghwari neensebenzi zesimbi,*+ yathatha abazii-10 000 yabasa ekudingisweni. Akhenge kutjhiywe namunye ngaphandle kwabantu abatlhage khulu enarheni.+ 15 Ngalokho yathatha uJehoyakini+ yamusa ekudingisweni eBhabhiloni;+ yathatha nonina wekosi, abafazi bekosi, iinkhulu zakhe zesigodlo namadoda aqakathekileko enarheni, yabasa ekudingisweni eBhabhiloni basuka eJerusalema.

10 Ekuthomeni komnyaka,* iKosi uNebukadinetsari yathumela umlayezo bona uJehoyakini alethwe eBhabhiloni+ nezinto eziligugu zendlu kaJehova.+ Yabeka uTsedekhiya umfowabo kayise bona abe yikosi kwaJuda neJerusalema.+

24 Nje-ke uJehova wangitjengisa abomantji ababili bamafeyi phambi kwethempeli lakaJehova, ngemva kokuthi iKosi uNebukadinetsari* weBhabhiloni ayise uJokoniya*+ indodana kaJehoyakhimu,+ ikosi yakwaJuda, ekudingisweni kunye namakhosana wakwaJuda, iinsebenzi zobukghwari neensebenzi zesimbi;* wabathatha eJerusalema wabasa eBhabhiloni.+

2 Ngokukhamba kwesikhathi uJehova wanikela iKosi yakwaJuda uJehoyakhimu esandleni sakhe,+ wathatha nezinye izitja zendlu kaZimu weqiniso, waziletha enarheni yeTjhinari*+ endlini kazimakhe. Izitjezi wazibeka ebulungelelweni lamagugu kazimakhe.+

3 Nje-ke ikosi yalayela u-Atjhipenazi isikhulu esiyihloko sesigodlo, bona silethe amanye ama-Israyeli, kunye nalawo abelethwa ebukhosini nabelethwa ziinkhulu.+
