1 Hagi Jeremaiane, maka Jerusalemi kumapi vahe'ene Juda mopafi vahe'enena Babiloni vahe'mo'za zamazeri'za seni nofiteti kina rezmantete'za zamavare'za Babiloni kina ome huzmante'naku vu'za, Rama kumate'ma uhanatizageno'a Babiloni sondia vahete ugota kva ne' Nebusaradani'a Jeremaiama kinama rente'naza seni nofira katufente'ne. Ana hutegeno henka Ra Anumzamo'a Jeremaiana nanekea asami'ne.

Ilizwi elafika kuJeremiya livela eNkosini emva kokuthi uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi esemyekele wahamba esuka eRama, esemthethe ebotshiwe ngamaketane phakathi kwabo bonke ababethunjwe eJerusalema lakoJuda, abasiwa ekuthunjweni eBhabhiloni.

2 Hagi Babiloni sondia vahete ugota kva ne'mo'a Jeremaiana ke higeno egeno amanage huno asami'ne. Ra Anumzana kagri Anumzamo'a huama huno, ama kumatera ama hazenke zana fore hugahie huno hu'ne.

Induna yabalindi yasimthatha uJeremiya yathi kuye: INkosi, uNkulunkulu wakho, yakhuluma lokhu okubi ngalindawo.

3 Ana hu'neankino Ra Anumzamo'a kema hu'nea kante amage anteno ana maka zana huvagare'ne. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamofo avurera tamagra kumi nehutma Agri nanekea antahita amagera onte'naze. Ana hu'nazagu huno ama ana knazantamimo'a tamagritera fore nehie.

INkosi isikulethile yakwenza njengokutsho kwayo, ngoba lonile eNkosini, kalilalelanga ilizwi layo; ngakho loludaba lwenzakele kini.

4 Hu'negu menina ko! Kazante'ma kinama regante'naza seni nofira ama katufe atroe. Hagi kagrama antahisankeno knare'ma haniana, amne nagranena Babiloni vananke'na knare hu'ne ome kegava hugantegahue. Hagi nagrane vu'zamo'ma antahisankeno knare'ma osaniana, nagranena omo. Hianagi inantego kagrama antahisankeno knare'ma haniregama vunaku'ma hanunka, maka mopamo'a kagri kavuga me'neankinka amne vugahane.

Khathesi-ke, khangela, lamuhla ngiyakukhulula kulamaketane asezandleni zakho. Uba kukuhle emehlweni akho ukuya lami eBhabhiloni, woza, ngimise ilihlo lami phezu kwakho; kodwa uba kukubi emehlweni akho ukuya lami eBhabhiloni, yekela. Bona, ilizwe lonke liphambi kwakho; lapho kukuhle kuqondile emehlweni akho ukuhamba, hamba uye khona.

5 Hagi kagra maninaku'ma hanunka ete vunka, Babiloni kini ne'mo'ma huhampari antegeno'ma Juda mopafima me'nea kumatamima kegavama hu'nea ne', Safani negeho ne' Ahikamu nemofo Gedalia'ma mani'nere vunka, vahe amunompi agrane umanio. Ana'ma osunaku'ma hanunka inantego vunaku'ma hanantega amne vugahane. Anage nehuno sondia vahete kva ne' Nebusaradani'a Jeremaiana ne'zane musezanena nemino atregeno vu'ne.

Kodwa engakabuyeli, wathi: Buyela kuGedaliya, indodana kaAhikhamu, indodana kaShafani, emmisileyo inkosi yeBhabhiloni abe phezu kwemizi yakoJuda, uhlale laye phakathi kwabantu; kumbe loba kungaphi lapho kuqondile emehlweni akho ukuya khona, hamba. Ngakho induna yabalindi yasimnika umphako lesipho, yamyekela ukuthi ahambe.

6 Hagi ana'ma hutegeno'a Jeremaia'a ete Mizpa kumate vuno Ahikamu nemofo Gedali'ene mago'a vahe'ma Juda mopafima zamatrage'zama mani'naza vahe'ene umani'ne.

Ngakho uJeremiya wafika kuGedaliya indodana kaAhikhamu eMizipa, wahlala laye phakathi kwabantu ababesele elizweni.

7 Hagi mago'a Juda sondia vahete kva vahe'ene mago'a sondia vahe'ma ka'ma kokampima umani'naza vahe'mo'zama antahizama, Babiloni kini ne'mo'ma Ahikamu nemofo Gedaliama huhampri antegeno ana maka mopane, zamunte omane vene a'ene mofavre naga'ma zamavare'za Babilonima ovu'za zamatrage'zama mani'naza vahete'ma kegava hia nanekea antahi'naze.

Kwathi zonke induna zamabutho ezazisegangeni, zona kanye lamadoda azo, besizwa ukuthi inkosi yeBhabhiloni ibekile uGedaliya indodana kaAhikhamu abe phezu kwelizwe, lokuthi inikele kuye amadodana labesifazana labantwana, lakwabangabayanga belizwe, kulabo ababengathunjelwanga eBhabhiloni,

8 Ana hute'za zamagra Gedalia kenaku Mizpa kumate vu'naze. Hagi anampima vu'nazana Natania nemofo Ismaeliki, Karea nemofo Johananiki, Tanhumeti nemofo Seraiaki, Netofa nagapinti ne' Efai ne' mofavre nagaki, Ma'aka nagapinti ne' Jezani'ene agri nagapinti vene'nemozane maka vu'naze.

khona beza kuGedaliya eMizipa, oIshmayeli, indodana kaNethaniya, loJohanani, loJonathani, amadodana kaKareya, loSeraya, indodana kaTanihumethi, lamadodana kaEfayi, umNetofa, loJezaniya, indodana yomMahakathi, bona lamadoda abo.

9 Hagi anante Safani negeho ne' Ahikamu nemofo Gedalia'a ana kva vahe'ene, zamagranema vu'naza vahera amanage huno huvempa huno zamasami'ne. Tamagra ama mopafi manineta, Babiloni kini ne' Nebukatnesa eri'za vahe'ma mani'neta agri agoraga mani zankura korora osiho. Na'ankure e'i ana'ma hanazana knare huta manigahaze.

UGedaliya, indodana kaAhikhamu, indodana kaShafani, wasefunga kibo lamadoda abo, esithi: Lingesabi ukusebenzela amaKhaladiya; hlalani elizweni, liyisebenzele inkosi yeBhabhiloni; khona kuzalilungela.

10 Hagi menina antahiho, tamagri tamagi eri'na nagra Mizpa kumate manine'na, Babiloni vahe'ma tagri'ma eme tagenaku'ma eterema hanaza zupa, nagra zamagrane keaga hugahue. Hianagi tamagra waini ragane, zafa rgaramine, olivi masavenena kavoramimpi eri atru nehuta, tamagrama erita mani'naza kuma tamimpina maniho.

Khangelani-ke, mina ngihlala eMizipa ukuma phambi kobuso bamaKhaladiya azafika kithi; kodwa lina buthani iwayini lezithelo zehlobo lamafutha, likufake ezitsheni zenu, lihlale emizini yenu eliyithetheyo.

11 Hagi Juda vahe'mo'zama vu'za e'zama hu'za Moapu mopafine, Amoni vahepine, Idomu mopafine, mago'a mopareganema umani emanima hu'naza vahe'mo'za zamagranema antahizama, Babiloni kini ne'mo'a osi'a vahe'ma zamatrege'za Juda mopafina mani'nageno, Safani negeho Ahikamu nemofo Gedaliama kva azeri otigeno kvama huzmantea nanekema nentahi'za,

Futhi, lapho wonke amaJuda ayekoMowabi laphakathi kwabantwana bakoAmoni leEdoma lawayekuwo wonke amazwe esezwile ukuthi inkosi yeBhabhiloni itshiyile insali yakoJuda, lokuthi yabeka phezu kwabo uGedaliya, indodana kaAhikhamu, indodana kaShafani;

12 Juda vahe'ma zamahe panani'ma hazage'za fre'za maka kazigama umani emanima hu'naregatira Juda mopafi ete e'za, Mizpa kumate'ma Gedalia'ma mani'nere e'naze. Ana hute'za wainine mago'a zafa rgaramina tagiza eri atru hu'naze.

wonke amaJuda asebuya esuka endaweni zonke ayexotshelwe khona, eza elizweni lakoJuda, kuGedaliya eMizipa; abutha iwayini lezithelo zehlobo, kwaba kunengi kakhulu.

13 Hagi Karea nemofo Johanani'ene ana maka sondia vahete kva vahe'ma, vahe omani kokampima umani naregatira, Gedalia'ma Mizpa kumate'ma mani'nere e'naze.

UJohanani indodana kaKareya lazo zonke induna zamabutho ayesegangeni basebesiza kuGedaliya eMizipa,

14 Hagi zamagra anante Gedaliana amanage hu'za asami'naze, kagrira eme kahe frisie huno Amoni kini ne' Balisi'a huntegeno Natania nemofo Ismaeli'ma ne-e hu'za nehaza nanekea antahi'nampi ontahinano? Hianagi Ahikamu nemofo Gedalia'a ana kezamirera antahi amuhara osu'ne.

bathi kuye: Uyakwazi isibili yini ukuthi uBhahalisi inkosi yabantwana bakoAmoni uthume uIshmayeli indodana kaNethaniya ukukutshaya empilweni? Kodwa uGedaliya indodana kaAhikhamu kabakholwanga.

15 Hagi anante Karea nemofo Johanani'a Mizpa kumate Gedaliana oku'a amanage huno ome asami'ne, kagra hu izo huge'na vu'na vahe'mo'za ontahi'sazama'a, Netania nemofo Ismaelina ome ahe fri'neno. Na'a agafare kagrira kahe frisige'za, amama eme atruma hu'za kagri kagiafima mani'naza Juda vahe'mo'za panani hu'za fresageno, osi'ama mani'naza Juda vahera frigahaze?

UJohanani indodana kaKareya wasekhuluma loGedaliya ensitha eMizipa esithi: Ake ungiyekele ngihambe ngiyetshaya uIshmayeli indodana kaNethaniya, kungabi lamuntu okwaziyo. Uzakutshayelani empilweni, ukuze bahlakazeke bonke abakoJuda ababuthene kuwe, kubhubhe insali yakoJuda?

16 Hianagi Ahikamu nemofo Gedalia'a Karea nemofo Johananina amanage huno kenona hunte'ne. Kagra e'inahu avu'ava zana osuo, na'ankure kagrama Ismaelinku'ma nehana nanekea havige nehane.

Kodwa uGedaliya indodana kaAhikhamu wathi kuJohanani indodana kaKareya: Ungayenzi le indaba, ngoba uqamba amanga ngoIshmayeli.
