12 UJehoyakini iKosi yakwaJuda waphuma waya ekosini yeBhabhiloni,+ akhamba nonina, iinsebenzi zakhe, amakhosanakhe neenkhulu zakhe zesigodlo;+ ikosi yeBhabhiloni yamthumba ngomnyaka wobunane wokubusa kwayo.+

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.+

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.+
