Zeremaia 52

1 Hagi Zedekaia'a 21ni'a kafu nehuno kinia fore huno Jerusalemi kumate mani'neno, 11ni'a kafufi Juda mopa kegava hu'ne. Hagi nerera'a Libna kumateti ne' ru Jeremaia mofakino, agi'a Hamutali'e. (2 King 24:18-25:7 Jeremaia 39:1-10)

UZedekhiya waba yinkosi eleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lanye, njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka elitshumi lanye. Ibizo likanina lalinguHamuthali indodakazi kaJeremiya waseLibhina.

2 Hagi Jehoiakimi'ma hu'neaza huno Ra Anumzamofo avurera Zedekaia'a kefo avu'avaza hu'ne.

Wenza okubi emehlweni kaThixo, njengalokho okwakwenziwe nguJehoyakhimi.

3 Hagi Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahe'mo'zane, Juda vahe'mo'zanema haza havi zamavu'zmava zamo higeno, Ra Anumzamofona arimpa ahegeno Agri avure'ma mani'naretira zamahe kasopetrege'za ru moparega umani'naze. Hagi Zedekaia'a Babiloni kini ne'mofo kea antahino amagera onte'neanki ha' arente'ne.

Kwakungenxa yokuthukuthela kukaThixo ukuze kwenzakale konke lokhu eJerusalema lakoJuda, njalo ekucineni kwabangela ukuthi uThixo abachithe. Ngalokho uZedekhiya wayihlamukela inkosi yaseBhabhiloni.

4 Hagi Zedekaia'ma kinima mani'no egeno 9nima hia kafufina, 10ni ikamofona 10ni zupa, Babiloni kini ne' Nebukatnesa'a sondia vahe'aramine eno Jerusalemi kumara ha'hunte'naku eme avazagi kagine'za, manine'zama ha'ma hanaza zana, kuma keginamofo tva'ontera megi'a mopa kate'za ante hihi hu'za mareri'naze.

Ngakho ngenyanga yesificamunwemunye yokubusa kukaZedekhiya, ngosuku lwetshumi lwenyanga yetshumi, uNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, waya eJerusalema lebutho lakhe lonke. Bahlala ngaphandle kwedolobho, bakha izinqaba zokulivimbezela kuzozonke inhlangothi zalo.

5 Hagi Babiloni vahe'mo'za atre'za ovu'za Jerusalemi kumara vazagi kagiza mani'nageno vuno, Zedekaia'ma kinima manino vigeno, 11nima hia kafure uhanati'ne.

Idolobho lavinjezelwa kwaze kwaba ngumnyaka wetshumi lanye kaZedekhiya inkosi.

6 Hagi ana kafufina 4 ikamofona 9ni zupa, Jerusalemi rankumapina tusi agatontoza fore higeno, vahe'mo'zama ne'zama ne'saza zana omanetfa hu'ne.

Ngosuku lwesificamunwemunye lwenyanga yesine indlala yayisinzima edolobheni, abantu bengaselakudla.

7 Hagi e'i ana knazupa Babiloni sondia vahe'mo'za Jerusalemi rankumapina ufrenaku kuma kegina tapage hu'naze. Hianagi ana'ma nehu'za avazagi kagi'nazama'agu Zedekaia'ene sondia vahe'amo'zanena kenage kumara atre'za, kini ne'mofo hozama me'neregama tare kazigati'ma kuma keginamoke'ma eme renagema ante'nateti atirami'za fre'za, Araba kaziga vu'naze.

Umduli wedolobho wafohlwa, ibutho lonke labaleka. Basuka edolobheni ebusuku bephuma ngesango eliphakathi kwemiduli emibili, phansi kwesivande senkosi, lanxa nje amaKhaladiya ayeligombolozele idolobho. Babaleka beqonde e-Arabha,

8 Hianagi Babiloni sondia vahe'mo'za kini ne' Zedekaiana rotago hu'za vu'za Jeriko agupofi ome azeri'naze. Ana hazage'za maka Zedekaia sondia vahe'mo'za agrira atre'za panani hu'za ufre efre hu'naze.

kodwa ibutho lamaKhaladiya laxotshana lenkosi uZedekhiya layamfica emagcekeni aseJerikho. Wonke amabutho akhe ehlukana laye njalo ahlakazeka,

9 Hagi Zedekaina azerite'za, Babiloni kini ne'ma mani'nerega Hamati mopafi Ribla kumate avre'za vazageno, keagafi azeri otiteno agrama hu'nea avu'ava zantera, e'inahu knaza erigahane huno hunte'ne.

yena wathunjwa. Wasiwa enkosini yaseBhabhiloni eRibhila elizweni laseHamathi, lapho eyamgwebela khona.

10 Hagi Ribla kumate Zedekaia mani'neno negegeno agri avufi, Babiloni kini ne'mo'a ne' mofavre naga'a zamahe nefrino, Juda kva vahetaminena ana maka zamahe fri vagare'ne.

Khona eRibhila inkosi yaseBhabhiloni yabulala amadodana kaZedekhiya emehlweni akhe; yabulala lezikhulu zakoJuda zonke.

11 Hagi ana'ma huteno'a anante Zedekaiana tare avuraga reragati atreteno, bronsireti tro hu'naza seninofiteti kina renteteno avreno Babiloni vuno ome kina huntegeno mani'neno anampi fri'ne. (2 Kin 25:8-17)

Emva kwalokho, yamkhupha amehlo uZedekhiya, yambopha ngamaketane ethusi, yamusa eBhabhiloni, lapho eyamfaka khona entolongweni kwaze kwafika usuku lokufa kwakhe.

12 Hagi Babiloni kini ne' Nebukatnesama kinima manino egeno 19nima hia kafufina 5fu ikamofo 10ni zupa, Nebukatnesa avate'ma kvama nehaza sondia vahete'ma ugotama hu'nea kva ne' Nebusaradani'a Jerusalemi kumatera e'ne.

Ngosuku lwetshumi ngenyanga yesihlanu, ngomnyaka wetshumi lasificamunwemunye kaNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, uNebhuzaradani umlawuli wabalindi besikhosini, owayesebenzela inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, wafika eJerusalema.

13 Ana'ma huteno'a agra Ra Anumzamofo mono nona teve taginenteno, kini ne'mofo nonena teve taginenteno, Jerusalemi kumapima me'nea nontamina maka teve taginte'ne. Ana nehuno zamagima me'nea vahe'mokizmi nontaminena teve tagintegeno te'ne.

Wathungela ithempeli likaThixo ngomlilo, lesigodlo senkosi lezindlu zonke zaseJerusalema. Zonke izindlu eziqakathekileyo wazitshisa.

14 Hagi kini ne'mofo avate'ma kvama nehaza sondia vahete'ma ugotama hu'nea ne'enema e'naza sondia vahe'mo'za, Jerusalemi kumamofo keginarera mani kagine'za ana kegina maka tapage hutrazageno kegina omane'ne.

Lonke ibutho laseBhabhiloni elalingaphansi komlawuli wabalindi besikhosini layidiliza yonke imiduli eyayigombolozele iJerusalema.

15 Hagi kini ne'mofo avate'ma kvama nehaza sondia vahete'ma ugotama hu'nea ne' Nebusaradani'a, zamunte omane vahe'ma mani'nazana nezamavareno, rankumapima mago'ama zamatre'naza vahe'enena nezamavareno, koro'ma hu'za Babiloni vahe zamazampima atre'za umani'naza vahe'enena nezamavareno, ruzahu ruzahu zantamima troma nehaza vahe'ma mago'ama mani'naza vahe'enena zamavareno Babiloni vuno ome kina huzmante'ne.

UNebhuzaradani umlawuli wabalindi wathatha abanye babayanga bokucina wabasa ekuthunjweni lalabo ababesele edolobheni, lenengi lezingcwethi kanye lalabo abasebeye enkosini yaseBhabhiloni.

16 Hianagi Nebusaradani'a, Juda mopafi mani'neta waini hozane, mago'aza hozanena erita nenteta maniho huno zamunte omane vahera mago'a zamatrege'za mani'naze.

Kodwa uNebhuzaradani watshiya inengi labantu ababengabayanga bokucina elizweni ukuba basebenze ezivinini lasemasimini.

17 Hagi Babiloni vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo mono nompi vu'za, bronsireti'ma tro'ma hu'naza fumaza zafaramina runafe'nafu hu'za e'neri'za, Ra Anumzamofo mono nompima bronsireti'ma tro'ma hu'naza zuompama tima afintageno'ma nemanea zuompane, agia'a raminena ru tamana tamanu hute'za ana maka bronsiramina eri'za Babiloni vu'naze.

AbeBhabhiloni baphahlaza izinsika zethusi lezinti zezibane loLwandle lwethusi, okwakusethempelini likaThixo. Bathwalela ithusi lelo eBhabhiloni.

18 Hagi ana nehu'za kavoramine, sipetiramine tavi'ma erisu'ma nehaza zotaramine, ranra zuomparamine ne'onse zuompa raminena eri'naze. Ana nehu'za bronsireti'ma tro'ma hu'naza zantamima mono nompima me'nege'za eri'zama e'neriza zantamina ana maka eri'za vu'naze.

Bathatha njalo imbiza, lamafotsholo, lezindlawu lemiganu yezichelo, lezinditshi lazozonke izitsha zethusi ezazisetshenziswa enkonzweni yasethempelini.

19 Hagi Babiloni kini ne'mofo avate'ma kvama nehaza sondia vahete'ma ugotama hu'nea ne' Nebusaradani'a, ana zanke huno ne'onse zuomparamine, tevema taginentaza kavoramine, ranra zuomparamine, waini ti ofama nehaza amu mani tin taferaminema golireti'ene silvareti'enema tro'ma hu'naza zantaminena, ana maka erino Babiloni vu'ne.

Umlawuli wabalindi besigodlo wathatha izinditshi, izitsha zokutshisela impepha, imiganu yezichelo, imbiza, izinti zezibane, izinditshi lemiganu okusetshenziswa eminikelweni yokunathwayo konke okwakwenziwe ngegolide elicengekileyo loba isiliva.

20 Hagi ko'ma kini ne' Solomoni'ma Ra Anumzamofo mono nompi mesie huno bronsireti'ma tro'ma hu'nea zantamina, tare fumaza zafa rarenki, tima afinentaza zuompane, bulimakaomofo amema'a ramima fenka kazigama tro'ma hunte'nea zantamine, anazama azerisgama hu'nea agia raminena eri'za vu'naze. Hagi ana maka bronsireti'ma tro'ma hu'naza zantamimofo kna'amo'a agateregeno sigerirera erinteno kegara osu'ne.

Ithusi elalivela ensikeni ezimbili, loLwandle lelenkunzi zethusi ezilitshumi lambili ezazingaphansi kwalo kanye lelezidindi ezisusekayo konke okwakwenzelwe ithempeli likaThixo yinkosi uSolomoni, kwakulesisindo esasingelinganiswe.

21 Hagi ana tare zafararema bronsireti'ma tro'ma hu'nazana, za'za amo'a 8mita higeno, kagi'amo'a 5mitagi 30'a sentimita higeno, agu'afina hagro hu'ne. Hagi anazama tro'ma hu'naza bronsimofo tapa'amo'a 75 milimita hu'ne.

Ubude bensika ngayinye babuzingalo ezilitshumi lasificaminwembili, ubuqatha buzingalo ezilitshumi lambili, uhlonzi luyiminwe emine njalo ilomhome.

22 Hagi ana fumaza zafararemofo zanesenirera bronsiretike kankrira tro hu'nazankino ana zamofo mareri'amo'a 2mitagi 20ti sentimita hu'ne. Ana hu'nege'za bronsiretike pomigreneti zafa rgamofo amema'a, anazantera krente'za avasase'a hugagi'naze. Hagi mago fumaza zafamofona anazanke hu'za pomigreneti zafa rgamofo amema'a krente'za avasase'a hunte'naze.

Isiduku sethusi phezu kwenye insika sasizingalo ezinhlanu ubude baso njalo siceciswe ngomeluko lamaphomegranathi ethusi nxazonke. Enye insika, lamaphomegranathi ayo, layo yayinjalo.

23 Hagi ana fumaza zafa raremofo zanasenire'ma tro'ma hunte'naza zamofo asoparegama pomigreneti zafa rgamofo amema'ama krente'nazana, 96si'a krentetere hu'naze. Ana nehu'za ana fumaza zafararemofo zanesenire'ma tro'ma hunte'naza zantera, pomigrenetimofo raga 100'a tro huntetere hu'naze. (2 Kin 25:18-21)

Emaceleni kwakulamaphomegranathi angamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye munye lesithupha; esewonke amaphomegranathi ayengaphezu kobufikifiki obabuzungezile, ayelikhulu.

24 Hagi Babiloni sondia vahete kva ne' Nebusaradani'a vugota pristi ne' Seraiane agri amagenare'ma hu'nea pristi ne' Zefanaiane 3'a vahe'ma mono no kafante'ma kvama nehaza vahe'enena kina huzmanteno zamavareno vu'ne.

Umlawuli wabalindi wathumba uSeraya induna yabaphristi, loZefaniya umsekeli wakhe kanye labalindi bomnyango abathathu.

25 Hagi ana nehuno Nebusaradani'a Jerusalemi rankumapintira sondia vahete'ma kvama hu'nea nera nevreno, kini ne'ma antahintahima nemiza vahera 7ni'a vahe zamageno nezamavareno, sondia vahete'ma kvama hu'nea ne'mofo avonkre eri'zama e'rinenteno, sondia vahe'ma kasefa zamavareno zamazerinte fatgoma nehia ne'enena avre'ne. Ana nehuno Jerusalemi rankumapintira, 60'a vahe mani'nageno zamageno zamavare'ne.

Kulabo ababelokhu besedolobheni wathatha isikhulu esasiphethe amadoda okulwa, labacebisi besikhosini abayisikhombisa. Wathatha lonobhala owayeyinduna eyayiphethe ukubuthwa kwabantu elizweni kanye labanye abantu bakhe abangamatshumi ayisithupha ababeficwe edolobheni.

26 Hagi Babiloni sondia vahete kva ne' Nebusaradani'a anama zamavarea vahera ana maka zamavareno Babiloni kini ne'ma Ribla kumate'ma mani'nere vu'ne.

UNebhuzaradani umlawuli wabathatha bonke wabasa enkosini yaseBhabhiloni eRibhila.

27 Hagi ana hutegeno Babiloni kini ne'mo'a Hamati kaziga Ribla kumate ana maka vahera zamahe fri'ne. Ana hute'za Juda vahera mopazamifintira zamavare'za kina ome huzmanteku Babiloni moparega vu'naze.

Khonale eRibhila, elizweni laseHamathi, inkosi yathi kabaqunywe. Ngakho abakoJuda baya ekuthunjweni kude lelizwe labo.

28 Hagi Nebukatnesama kinima manino egeno 7nima hia kafufina, 3 tausen 23'a Jiu vahera zamavareno kina ome huzmante'ne.

Nanka amanani abantu uNebhukhadineza abasa ekuthunjweni: ngomnyaka wesikhombisa, amaJuda azinkulungwane ezintathu lamatshumi amabili lantathu;

29 Hagi Nebukatnesama kinima mani'negeno 18nima hia kafufina, Jerusalemi kumapintira 832'a vahe zamavareno kina ome huzmante'ne.

ngomnyaka kaNebhukhadineza wetshumi lasificaminwembili mibili, abantu beJerusalema abangamakhulu ayisificamunwemunye lamatshumi amathathu lambili;

30 Hagi Nebukatnesama kinima manino egeno 23ma hia kafufina, Babiloni sondia vahete kva ne' Nebusaradani'a 745fu'a Jiu vahe zamavareno kina ome huzmante'ne. Ana higeno ana makara 4 tausen 600'a Jiu vahe zamavare'za kina ome huzmante'naze. (2 Kini 25:27-30)

ngomnyaka wakhe wamatshumi amabili lantathu, amaJuda angamakhulu ayisikhombisa lamatshumi amane lanhlanu asiwa ekuthunjweni nguNebhuzaradani umlawuli wabalindi ekubusweni kwezizwe ezinengi. Bebonke kwakungabantu abazinkulungwane ezine lamakhulu ayisithupha.

31 Hagi Juda kini ne' Jehoiakini'ma kinafima manino egeno 37nima hia kafumofona 12fu ikamofo 25 zupa, Babiloni kini ne' Evil-Merodaki'a Jehoiakinina asunku hunteno kinafintira katufente'ne. Na'ankure agra ana kafufi Babiloni kinia efore huteno anara hu'ne.

Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amathathu lesikhombisa uJehoyakhini inkosi yakoJuda esekuthunjweni, ngomnyaka u-Evili-Merodakhi aba yinkosi yaseBhabhiloni ngawo, wakhulula uJehoyakhini inkosi yakoJuda, wamkhupha entolongweni ngosuku lwamatshumi amabili lanhlanu lwenyanga yetshumi lambili.

32 Hagi Evil-Merodaki'a Jehoaikinina so'e avu'ava hunenteno, mago'a kini vahe'ma agranema Babiloni kumapima umani'naza kini vahe'mo'zama nemaniza tra'ma agatere'nea trate higeno mani'ne.

Wakhuluma laye ngomusa, wamnika isihlalo esihloniphekayo esasingaphezu kwezamanye amakhosi ayelaye eBhabhiloni.

33 Hagi ana hutegeno Jehoaikini'a antanineno kinafima mani'nea kukena'a hatenetreno, kasefa kukena eri hankreteno, ananteti'ma agafama huno viana maka zupa Babiloni kini ne'mo'ma nezama nenea tratetira ne'zana netere hu'ne.

Ngakho uJehoyakhini wakhupha izigqoko zakhe zasentolongweni, wadla lenkosi izikhathi zonke okwempilo yakhe yonke.

34 Hagi mago mago zupama ne'zama mizaseno'ma nesia zago'a, Babiloni kini ne'mo'a Jehoiakinina amitere huno nevigeno vuno agrama fri'nea knare ome vagare'ne.

Nsuku zonke inkosi yaseBhabhiloni yayinika uJehoyakhini isabelo esimisiweyo malanga wonke empilweni yakhe, kwaze kwafika ilanga lokufa kwakhe.
