3 Incwadi leyo wayiphathisa u-Eleyasa indodana kaShafani loGemariya indodana kaHilikhiya, abathunywa nguZedekhiya inkosi yakoJuda kuNebhukhadineza eBhabhiloni. Yathi:
Hagi ana avoma Jeremaia'ma kretegeno'a, Juda kini ne' Zedekaia'a, Safani nemofo Elasa'ene Hilkaia nemofo Gemariakizni ana avona zanamigeke erike, Babiloni kini ne' Nebukatnesantega Babiloni kumatega vu'na'e. Ana avomo'a amanage hu'ne.
4 UThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi kubo bonke labo engabasa ekuthunjweni eBhabhiloni besuka eJerusalema:

5 “Yakhani izindlu lihlale phansi; limani izivande lidle izithelo zazo.
Tamagra nona kita nemanita, hozanena erita antenkeno ne'zamo'a nena hanigeta erita neneta maniho.
6 Thathani abafazi lizale amadodana lamadodakazi; dingelani amadodana enu abafazi lendise lamadodakazi enu, ukuze lawo abe lamadodana kanye lamadodakazi; inani lenu lande ngapho; lingehli.
Tamagra ara enerina, vea enerina huta ne'mofara kasezmanteho. Ana nehuta ne' mofavretamirera a'nea avre nezamita, mofa'netamia verera nenteta nehinke'za zamagranena ne'mofara kase hakare hiho. Ana nehuta osi'a vahera omanisazanki rama'a vahe fore hiho.
7 Funani ukuthula lokuphumelela kwedolobho engilise ekuthunjweni kulo. Likhulekeleni kuThixo, ngoba nxa liphumelela lani lizaphumelela.”
Hagi Nagrama tamavre atrogeta kinama ome huta mani'naza kumamo'ma knare huno mesiema hanuta, tamagra mago'a kanku haketa ana kumara aza nehuta, Ra Anumzamo'narega nunamuna hiho. Na'ankure ana kumamo'ma knare'ma huno mesigeta, tamagranena knare huta fru huta manigahaze.
8 Ye, uThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi, “Lingavumeli ukuthi abaphrofethi labahlahluli abaphakathi kwenu balikhohlise. Lingawalaleli amaphupho elibakhuthaza ukuthi bawaphuphe.
Hagi Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a huno, Tamagranema mani'naza kasnampa vahe'ene zamavune vahe'enena zamatrenke'za tamagrira tamareramatga osiho. Ana nehuta ava'nama ke'nesaza zanku'ma nehanageta ontahiho.
9 Baphrofetha amanga kini ngebizo lami. Kangibathumanga,” kutsho uThixo.
Na'ankure Nagra ana vahera huozmante'noanki, Nagri nagifi havige kasnampa naneke zamagra neramasamize huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.
10 UThixo uthi: “Lapho iminyaka engamatshumi ayisikhombisa isiphelile eBhabhiloni, ngizakuza kini ngigcwalise isithembiso sami somusa sokulibuyisela kule indawo.
Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage nehie, Babilonima kinafima umani'nenageno 70'a kafuma evu vagama resige'na, Nagra antahinerami'na huvempama huramante'noa nanekea eri rgare'na, ete tamavre'na ama Jerusalemi kumatera egahue.
11 Ngoba ngiyawazi amacebo engilawo ngani,” kutsho uThixo, “amacebo okuliphumelelisa hatshi ukulilimaza, amacebo okulinika ithemba kanye lesikhathi esizayo.
Na'ankure nazano Nagrama huramante'naku'ma hu'noa antahintahizana ko retro hunte'noe. E'ina antahi'zama retro'ma hu'noana, tamazeri haviza hu antahintahizana retro osu'noanki, henkama knare'ma huta nemanisageno muhama nehaza zamo'ma knare'ma hania antahintahi retro hu'noe, huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.
12 Ngalesosikhathi lizangibiza lizekhuleka kimi, njalo ngizalizwa.
Ana'ma hanugeta tamagra Nagritega kezanetita, Nagrite'ma eta nunamuma hanage'na, Nagra ana nunamu ketmia antahiramigahue.
13 Lizangidinga lingifumane nxa lingidinga ngenhliziyo yenu yonke.
Hagi tamagrama miko tamagu'areti'ma huta Nagriku'ma hakenuta, Nagrira nageta erifore hugahaze.
14 Lizangifumana,” kutsho uThixo, “njalo ngizalibuyisa livela ekuthunjweni. Ngizaliqoqa ezizweni zonke lasezindaweni zonke engalixotshela kuzo,” kutsho uThixo, “njalo ngilibuyise endaweni engalithatha kuyo ngilisa ekuthunjweni.”
Ana'ma hanage'na maka moparegati'ene maka kumatamimpima, kinama ome hutama mani'naregatira ete tamavre atru hanugeta, ko'ma mani'nage'nama tamazeri atrogetama vu'naza kumate ete egahaze.
15 Lingatsho lithi, “UThixo usesiphe abaphrofethi eBhabhiloni,”
Hagi Babilonima mani'nonkeno'a Ra Anumzamo'a kasnampa vahetia ko zamazeri oti'ne huta tamagra nehaze.
16 kodwa uThixo uthi mayelana lenkosi ehlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavida labantu bonke abasala kulelidolobho, abantu bakini abangahambanga lani ekuthunjweni,
Hianagi Deviti'a kini trate'ma mani'nea kini ne'ene ama rankumapima mani'naza maka vahe'ene tamafu'tamagna zama kinafima ovu mani'naza vaheku'enena Ra Anumzamo'a amanage nehie.
17 yebo, uThixo uSomandla uthi, “Ngizabathumela inkemba, lendlala lesifo njalo ngizabenza babe njengomkhiwa obolileyo ongeke udliwe.
Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, ha' vahe huzamantesuge'za bainati kazinteti eme hara huzmantegahaze. Ana nehanage'za mago'a vahera ne'zanku hu'za nefrisage'za, mago'a vahera krimo zamahe frigahie. Ana hanuge'za haviza huno kasri'nea fiki rgama vahemo'ma oneankna hugahaze.
18 Ngizaxotshana labo ngenkemba, ngendlala langesifo njalo ngizabenza benyanyeke kuyo yonke imibuso yasemhlabeni njalo babe yinto yokuqalekiswa lokwesatshwa, ukuklolodelwa lokuthukwa, phakathi kwezizwe zonke engibaxotshela kuzo.
Hagi Nagra ha' vahe huzmantesuge'za bainati kazinteti eme zamarotago nehanage'na, agatonto zanteti'ene krireti'ene hu'na zamarotago hugahue. Anama hanuge'za fre'za umani emanima hanaza kumatamimpi vahe'mo'za tusi koro nehu'za, huhaviza hune zamante'za, kiza zokago ke huzamantegahaze. Anage nehu'za ana vahe'mo'za ha' vahe'zamima huhavizama huzmante'nakura, Juda vahe'mo'zama havizama hu'nazaza huta sifnafi maniho hu'za hugahaze.
19 Ngoba kabawalalelanga amazwi ami,” kutsho uThixo, “amazwi engawathumela kubo njalonjalo ngezinceku zami abaphrofethi. Lani abasekuthunjweni kalilalelanga,” kutsho uThixo.
Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Na'ankure Nagra eri'za vaheni'a kasnampa vahera knane knanena, huzmantoge'za evava hu'za keni'a eme huama hu'nazanagi ana nanekea antahita amagera onte'naze huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.
20 Ngakho, zwanini ilizwi likaThixo, lonke lina elisekuthunjweni engalisusa eJerusalema ngalisa eBhabhiloni.
E'ina hu'negu Jerusalemi kumateti'ma tamavre atrogetama vuta Babilonima umani'naza vahe'mota, Nagra Ra Anumzamo'nama nehua nanekea antahiho.
21 Mayelana lo-Ahabi indodana kaKholaya loZedekhiya indodana kaMaseya, abaphrofetha amanga kini ngebizo lami, uThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi: “Ngizabanikela kuNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni ozababulala phambi kobuso benu.
Hagi Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a amanage nehie, Kolaia nemofo Ahapuke Ma'aseia nemofo Zedekaiakea Nagri nagifi havige kasnampa ke hunaku, Nagra Babiloni kini ne' Nebukatnesa azampi zanavre anta'nena mikamota negesageno zanahe frigahie.
22 Ngenxa yabo, bonke abathunjiweyo abavela koJuda abaseBhabhiloni bazasebenzisa isiqalekiso lesi sokuthi: ‘UThixo makenze kini njengalokhu akwenze kuZedekhiya lo-Ahabi, abatshiswa yinkosi yaseBhabhiloni ngomlilo.’
E'ina hu'negu Juda mopareti'ma vu'za Babilonima kina ome hu'naza vahe'mo'za, mago vahe'ma huhavizama hunte'nakura, Ra Anumzamo'a kazeri haviza hanigenka, Babiloni kini ne'mo'ma Zedekaiane Ahapunema tevefima kre rasage'nea kna hugahane hu'za sifna kea huzmantegahaze.
23 Ngoba benze izinto ezimbi kakhulu ko-Israyeli; bafeba labafazi babomakhelwane babo, baqamba amanga ngebizo lami, engingazange ngithi bakwenze. Ngiyakwazi njalo ngingufakazi kukho,” kutsho uThixo.
Na'ankure ana netremokea Israeli vahe agu'afina havizantfa hu'nea avu'ava'za hu'na'e. Zanagra tava'ozanire'ma nemaniza vahe'mokizmi a'nene monko'zana nehuke, Nagra huo zante'noanagi Nagri nagifi eke havige kasnampa nanekea hu'na'e. Nagra anazana ko ke'na antahi'na hu'nena nehue huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.
24 Tshela uShemaya umNehelami uthi,
Hagi Nehelamu nagapinti ne' Semaiama ome asami'nogu'ma Ra Anumzamo'ma Jeremaiama asami'nea naneke.
25 “UThixo uSomandla, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi: ‘Wathumela izincwadi ngebizo lakho kubo bonke abantu baseJerusalema, lakuZefaniya indodana kaMaseya umphristi, lakwabanye abaphristi bonke.’ KuZefaniya wathi,
Hagi Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a amanage nehie, Semaiaga kagraka'a kagesafinti amanage hunka avona kretenka atrankeno, maka Jerusalemima mani'naza vahete'ene, pristi ne' Ma'aseia nemofo Zefanaiantegane, maka pristi vaheteganena vu'ne,
26 ‘UThixo usekubeke ukuba ngumphristi esikhundleni sikaJehoyada ukuba ube ngumphathi wendlu kaThixo; umuntu ohlanyayo ozenza umphrofethi ubomfaka esitokisini umfake lezankosi zentanyeni.
Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a pristi ne' Jehoiada nontera kagri Zefanaiaga kavrenenteno, Nagri mono nontera kegava hu'nenka iza'o neginagi vahe'mo'ma kasnampa nanekema hania vahera azerinka agafina zafareti runtrako hunka kina hunentenka, anankempina ainireti'ma tro'ma hu'naza rini rusi huo huno kazeri oti'ne.
27 Pho kungani ungamkhuzanga uJeremiya wase-Anathothi, ozenza umphrofethi phakathi kwenu?
E'ina hu'negu nahigenka Anatoti kumateti kasnampa ne' Jeremaia'ma tamagri amu'nompima kasnampa nanekema nehigenka, agrira azeri konerinka azeri fatgoa osu'nane?
28 Uthumele ilizwi leli kithi eBhabhiloni elithi: Kuzakuba yisikhathi eside. Ngakho yakhani izindlu lihlale phansi; limani izivande lidle izithelo zazo.’”
Na'ankure Jeremaia'a amanage huno avona kretregeno Babilonima mani'nona nagatega e'ne. Tamagra ana kumatera za'za kna manigahazanki nona kita nemanita, hozanena anteta neneta maniho hu'ne.
29 Kodwa, uZefaniya umphristi incwadi le wayibalela uJeremiya umphrofethi.
Hianagi Semaia'ma kre'nea avona pristi ne' Zefanaia'a erino vuno Jeremaia avure ome hampri'ne.
30 Ilizwi likaThixo laselifika kuJeremiya lisithi,
Ana'ma hutegeno'a anante Ra Anumzamo'a Jeremaiana amanage huno asami'ne.
31 “Thumela ilizwi leli kubo bonke abathunjiweyo uthi, Mayelana loShemaya umNehelami uThixo uthi: ‘Njengoba uShemaya esephrofitha kini, lanxa mina ngingamthumanga, walenza lakholwa amanga,
Babilonima kinama ome hu'za mani'naza vahetegama kema atrezmante'sanana, Ra Anumzamo'a Nehelamu kumateti ne' Semaiankura amanage hie hunka zamasamio. Nagra asamua naneke eme huama osu'neanki, agra havige kasnampa naneke eme higeta ana naneke'a antahimi'naze.

E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Nehelamu nagapinti ne' Semaiane agripinti'ma fore'ma hanaza vahe'enena zamazeri haviza hugahue.
