1 Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wesificamunwemunye wokubusa kwakhe, ngenyanga yetshumi, ngolwetshumi lwenyanga, uNebhukadinezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni wafika, yena lebutho lakhe lonke emelene leJerusalema, wamisa inkamba maqondana layo; bayakhela imiduli yokuvimbezela emelene layo inhlangothi zonke.
A rana ta goma ga wata na goma, a shekara ta tara ta mulkin Zedekiya ne Nebukadnezzar sarkin Babilon tare da dukan rundunan yaƙinsa, ya tasam wa Urushalima. Ya yi sansani a bayan birnin, ya kewaye ta da shirin yaƙi.
2 Umuzi wangena ekuvinjezelweni kwaze kwaba ngumnyaka wetshumi lanye wenkosi uZedekhiya.
Haka birnin ta kasance a kewaye har shekara ta goma sha ɗaya ta mulkin Zedekiya.
3 Ngolwesificamunwemunye lwenyanga yesine indlala yasisiba lamandla phakathi komuzi, njalo kwakungelakudla kwabantu belizwe.
A rana ta tara ta watan huɗu, lokacin da yunwa ta yi tsanani a birnin, babu kuma abinci domin mutane su ci.
4 Umuzi wasufohlelwa. Wonke amadoda empi asebaleka ebusuku ngendlela yesango phakathi kwemiduli emibili eyayiseduze lesivande senkosi, (amaKhaladiya ayemelene-ke lomuzi inhlangothi zonke); inkosi yasihamba ngendlela yamagceke.
Sai aka huda katanga sa’an nan dukan sojoji suka tsere da dare a ƙofa tsakanin katanga biyu da suke kusa da lambun sarki, ko da yake Babiloniyawa sun kewaye birnin. Suka tsere suka nufi Araba.
5 Ibutho lamaKhaladiya laselixotshana lenkosi, layifica emagcekeni eJeriko; ibutho layo lonke laselihlakazeka lisuka kuyo.
Amma sojojin Babiloniyawa suka bi sarki, suka cin masa a filayen Yeriko. Dukan sojojinsa kuwa suka rabu da shi suka watse.
6 Aseyibamba inkosi, ayenyusela enkosini yeBhabhiloni eRibila, akhuluma ukwahlulela kwayo.
Aka kama shi, aka kai shi gaban sarkin Babilon a Ribla, inda aka yanke masa hukunci.
7 Abulala amadodana kaZedekhiya phambi kwamehlo akhe, akhupha amehlo kaZedekhiya, ambopha ngamaketane ethusi amabili, amusa eBhabhiloni.
Suka kashe’ya’yan Zedekiya a gabansa, sa’an nan aka ƙwaƙule idanunsa. Suka daure shi da sarƙar tagulla, suka kai shi Babilon.
8 Langenyanga yesihlanu ngolwesikhombisa lwenyanga (okungumnyaka wetshumi lesificamunwemunye wenkosi uNebhukadinezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni) kwafika uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi, inceku yenkosi yeBhabhiloni, eJerusalema.
A rana ta bakwai na watan biyar, wadda ta zama shekara ta goma sha tara ta mulkin Sarki Nebukadnezzar na Babilon, Nebuzaradan, babban hafsan matsaran sarki, kuma bafadan sarkin Babilon, ya zo Urushalima
9 Wasetshisa indlu kaJehova lendlu yenkosi lazo zonke izindlu zeJerusalema; layo yonke indlu yesikhulu wayitshisa ngomlilo.
Ya cinna wa haikalin Ubangiji wuta, da fadan sarki, da kuma dukan gidajen Urushalima. Ya kuma ƙone duk wani gini mai muhimmanci.
10 Lebutho lonke lamaKhaladiya elalilenduna yabalindi ladilizela phansi imiduli yeJerusalema inhlangothi zonke.
Dukan mayaƙan Babilon a ƙarƙashin umarnin babban hafsan matsaran sarki, suka rushe katangar Urushalima.
11 Njalo insali yabantu ababesele emzini, labahlamuki ababehlamukele enkosini yeBhabhiloni, lensali yexuku, uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi yabathumba.
Nebuzaradan babban hafsan matsaran, ya kwashi waɗanda suka rage a cikin birnin, tare da sauran jama’a, da waɗanda suka miƙa kansu ga sarkin Babilon, ya kai su bauta.
12 Kodwa induna yabalindi yatshiya ebayangeni belizwe ukuba ngabaphathi bezivini labalimi.
Amma hafsan ya bar waɗansu daga cikin mafiya talauci na ƙasar don su yi aiki a lambunan inabi da kuma gonaki.
13 Lensika zethusi ezazisendlini yeNkosi, lezisekelo, lolwandle lwethusi olwalusendlini yeNkosi, amaKhaladiya akuphahlaza, athwalela ithusi lakho eBhabhiloni.
Babiloniyawan kuma suka sassare ginshiƙan tagulla, da wuraren zama da za a iya matsar da su, da ƙaton kwano mai suna Teku na tagulla da yake a haikalin Ubangiji, suka kwashe tagullan zuwa Babilon.
14 Lezimbiza, lamafotsholo, lezindlawu, lenkezo, lezitsha zonke zethusi, abasebenza ngazo, akuthatha.
Suka ɗauke tukwane, da manyan cokula, da acibalbal, da kwanoni, da dai dukan kayan da aka yi da tagulla don hidima a haikalin Ubangiji.
15 Lezitsha zokuthwala umlilo lemiganu yokufafaza, okwakuligolide golide lokwakuyisiliva siliva, induna yabalindi yakuthatha.
Babban hafsan matsaran sarkin ya kwashe har da kwanoni na kwashe garwashin wuta da sauran kwanoni, dukansu kuwa ƙeran zinariya ko azurfa tsatsa ne.
16 Insika zombili, ulwandle olulodwa, lezisekelo, uSolomoni ayekwenzele indlu yeNkosi, ithusi lazo zonke lezizitsha lalingelakulinganiswa ngesisindo.
Tagullar ginshiƙai biyun nan, da ta ƙaton kwanon da ake ce da shi Teku, da ta dukan amalanke masu riƙe ruwa waɗanda Sarki Solomon ya yi domin haikalin Ubangiji, sun fi gaba a auna su.
17 Ubude bensika eyodwa babuzingalo ezilitshumi lesificaminwembili, lesiduku phezu kwayo sasilithusi, lokuphakama kwesiduku kuzingalo ezintathu, lomsebenzi ophothiweyo, lamapomegranati phezu kwesiduku inhlangothi zonke, konke kungokwethusi. Lensika yesibili yayilokunje, ilomsebenzi ophothiweyo.
Tsawon kowane ginshiƙi, ƙafa ashirin da bakwai ne. Hulunan tagullan da suke ƙwalƙwalin kowane ginshiƙi kuma yana da tsawon ƙafa huɗu da rabi. Kuma aka yi masa ado da saƙa da’ya’yan itace kewaye da shi. Bayan ginshiƙin ma haka yake.
18 Induna yabalindi yasithatha uSeraya umpristi oyinhloko loZefaniya umpristi wesibili, labalindi bombundu womnyango abathathu.
Babban hafsan ya kwashi Serahiya babban firist, da Zefaniya na biye da shi a girma, da matsara ƙofofi uku.
19 Lemzini yasithatha induna eyayimiswe phezu kwamadoda empi, lamadoda amahlanu ayesebusweni benkosi ayeficwe emzini, lomabhalane omkhulu webutho eyayibuthela abantu belizwe emabuthweni, lamadoda angamatshumi ayisithupha abantu belizwe ayeficwe phakathi komuzi.
Daga cikin waɗanda suka rage a birnin, ya ɗauki hafsa mai kula da dakaru, da kuma mashawartan sarki guda biyar. Ya kuma tafi da magatakarda wanda yake babban jami’in soja mai ɗaukan dukan jama’an ƙasar, tare da mutanensa guda sittin waɗanda aka samu a birnin.
20 UNebuzaradani induna yabalindi wasebathatha laba wabasa enkosini yeBhabhiloni eRibila.
Nebuzaradan, babban hafsan, ya kwashe su duka ya kawo su wurin sarkin Babilon a Ribla.
21 Inkosi yeBhabhiloni yasibatshaya yababulalela eRibila elizweni leHamathi. Ngokunjalo uJuda wathunjwa esuswa elizweni lakhe.
A can Ribla, a ƙasar Hamat, sarkin Babilon ya sa aka kashe su. Haka Yahuda ta tafi bauta daga ƙasarta.
22 Abantu abasala-ke elizweni lakoJuda, uNebhukadinezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni owayebatshiyile, wabeka phezu kwabo uGedaliya indodana kaAhikhamu indodana kaShafani.
Nebukadnezzar sarkin Babilon ya zaɓi Gedaliya ɗan Ahikam, ɗan Shafan yă zama shugaban sauran mutanen da suka rage a Yahuda.
23 Kwathi zonke induna zamabutho, zona labantu bazo, sezizwile ukuthi inkosi yeBhabhiloni ibeke uGedaliya abe ngumbusi, zeza kuGedaliya eMizipa: Ngitsho oIshmayeli indodana kaNethaniya loJohanani indodana kaKareya loSeraya indodana kaTanihumethi umNetofa loJahazaniya indodana yomMahakathi, zona labantu bazo.
Sa’ad da dukan hafsoshin soja tare da mutanensu suka ji cewa sarkin Babilon ya naɗa Gedaliya a matsayin gwamna, sai suka zo wurin Gedaliya a Mizfa. Mutanen da suka zo su ne, Ishmayel ɗan Netaniya, Yohanan ɗan Kareya, Serahiya ɗan Tanhumet mutumin Netofa, Ya’azaniya ɗan mutumin Ma’aka, tare da mutanensu.
24 UGedaliya wasefunga kuzo lakubantu bazo wathi kuzo: Lingesabi ukuba zinceku zamaKhaladiya; hlalani elizweni, likhonze inkosi yeBhabhiloni, njalo kuzakuba kuhle kini.
Gedaliya ya tabbatar musu da rantsuwa cewa, “Kada ku ji tsoron jama’ar Babiloniyawa, muddin kun zauna lafiya, kun kuma bauta wa sarkin Babilon, kome zai yi muku kyau.”
25 Kodwa kwathi ngenyanga yesikhombisa, kwafika uIshmayeli indodana kaNethaniya indodana kaElishama, owenzalo yesikhosini, lamadoda alitshumi elaye, basebemtshaya uGedaliya waze wafa, lamaJuda lamaKhaladiya ayelaye eMizipa.
Amma a wata na bakwai, sai Ishmayel, ɗan Netaniya, ɗan Elishama, wanda yake daga gidan sarauta, ya zo tare da mutane goma, suka kashe Gedaliya duk da mutanen Yahuda, da na Babilon da suke tare da shi na Mizfa.
26 Abantu bonke-ke, kusukela komncinyane kuze kuye komkhulu, lenduna zamabutho, basebesuka baya eGibhithe, ngoba besaba amaKhaladiya.
Ganin haka sai dukan mutane, babba da ƙarami, tare da shugabannin sojoji, suka tashi suka gudu zuwa ƙasar Masar, gama suna tsoron mutanen Babilon.
27 Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wamatshumi amathathu lesikhombisa wokuthunjwa kukaJehoyakhini inkosi yakoJuda, ngenyanga yetshumi lambili, ngolwamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa lwenyanga, uEvili Merodaki inkosi yeBhabhiloni, ngomnyaka aba yinkosi ngawo, waphakamisa ikhanda likaJehoyakhini inkosi yakoJuda emkhupha entolongweni.
A shekara ta talatin da bakwai ta bautar Yehohiyacin sarkin Yahuda, a shekaran da Ewil-Merodak ya ci sarautan Babilon, sai ya saki Yehohiyacin daga jaru, ya sake shi a rana ashirin da bakwai ga watan goma sha biyu.
28 Wasekhuluma kuhle laye, wamisa isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi phezu kwesihlalo sobukhosi samakhosi ayelaye eBhabhiloni.
Ya yi wa Yehohiyacin maganar alheri, ya kuma ɗaukaka shi sama da sauran sarakunan da suke tare da shi a Babilon.
29 Wasentshintsha izigqoko zokubotshwa kwakhe; wasesidla isinkwa njalonjalo phambi kwakhe insuku zonke zempilo yakhe.
Don haka Yehohiyacin ya tuɓe kayan fursuna. Kowace rana kuwa yakan ci abinci a teburin sarki har iyakar ransa.
