12 Umwami Yehoyakini w’u Buyuda yemera ko atsinzwe n’umwami w’i Babuloni,+ nuko we na mama we, abagaragu be, abanyacyubahiro be n’abakozi b’ibwami bishyira umwami w’i Babuloni.+ Nuko umwami w’i Babuloni afunga Yehoyakini. Ibyo byabaye mu mwaka wa munani w’ubutegetsi bwe.+

14 Yajyanye ku ngufu abaturage bose b’i Yerusalemu, abanyacyubahiro baho bose,+ abarwanyi b’intwari bose, abanyabukorikori bose n’abakoraga ibintu mu byuma.*+ Yatwaye ku ngufu abantu 10.000, ku buryo nta muntu n’umwe yasize, uretse abari bakennye cyane.+

17 Nuko abateza umwami w’Abakaludaya+ yicisha inkota+ abasore bari bari mu rusengero rwabo,+ ntiyagirira impuhwe abasore n’inkumi, abakuze n’abashaje cyane.+ Imana yatumye bose abica.+

20 Abasigaye baticishijwe inkota yabajyanye ku ngufu i Babuloni,+ abagira abagaragu be n’ab’abahungu be,+ kugeza igihe ubwami bw’Abaperesi bwatangiriye gutegeka,+

9 Nebuzaradani+ wayoboraga abarindaga umwami, yafashe abaturage bari barasigaye mu mujyi n’abari baragiye ku ruhande rwe n’abandi bose bari basigaye, abajyana i Babuloni ku ngufu.

15 Nebuzaradani wayoboraga abarindaga umwami, yajyanye ku ngufu bamwe mu bantu baciriritse n’abantu bari basigaye mu mujyi. Nanone yafashe abari baratorotse bagasanga umwami w’i Babuloni n’abakozi b’abahanga bari barasigaye.+

28 Uyu ni wo mubare w’abantu Nebukadinezari yajyanye i Babuloni ku ngufu. Mu mwaka wa karindwi yajyanye Abayahudi 3.023.+
