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.+ 15 Uko ni ko Umwami Nebukadinezari yajyanye Yehoyakini+ ku ngufu i Babuloni.+ Nanone yajyanye mama w’umwami, abagore b’umwami, abakozi b’ibwami n’abantu bakomeye bo muri icyo gihugu, abavana i Yerusalemu abajyana i Babuloni ku ngufu.

10 Nuko mu ntangiriro z’umwaka, Umwami Nebukadinezari yohereza abasirikare bafata Yehoyakini bamujyana i Babuloni+ hamwe n’ibikoresho by’agaciro byo mu nzu ya Yehova.+ Hanyuma ashyiraho Sedekiya, wavukanaga na papa wa Yehoyakini, aba umwami w’u Buyuda na Yerusalemu.+

24 Hanyuma Yehova anyereka ibitebo bibiri birimo imbuto z’umutini biteretse imbere y’urusengero rwa Yehova. Icyo gihe Umwami Nebukadinezari* w’i Babuloni yari yarajyanye ku ngufu Yekoniya,*+ umuhungu wa Yehoyakimu+ umwami w’u Buyuda n’abatware b’i Buyuda, abanyabukorikori n’abakora ibintu mu byuma.* Yabavanye i Yerusalemu abajyana i Babuloni.+

2 Nuko Yehova atuma atsinda Yehoyakimu umwami w’u Buyuda+ kandi bimwe mu bikoresho byo mu rusengero rw’Imana y’ukuri, abijyana mu gihugu cy’i Shinari*+ mu nzu y’imana ye. Ibyo bikoresho yabishyize mu nzu yabikwagamo ubutunzi bw’imana ye.+

3 Hanyuma umwami ategeka Ashipenazi wayoboraga ibyo mu rugo rwe ngo azane bamwe mu bana b’Abisirayeli, harimo abakomoka mu muryango wavagamo abami n’abanyacyubahiro.+
