1 Ngomnyaka wesificamunwemunye kaZedekhiya inkosi yakoJuda, ngenyanga yetshumi, kwafika uNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni lebutho lakhe lonke, bamelana leJerusalema, bayivimbezela.
A shekara ta tara ta Zedekiya sarkin Yahuda, a wata na goma, Nebukadnezzar sarkin Babilon ya fita yaƙi da Urushalima da dukan sojojinsa ya kuma yi mata ƙawanya.
2 Ngomnyaka wetshumi lanye kaZedekhiya, ngenyanga yesine, ngolwesificamunwemunye lwenyanga, umuzi wafohlelwa.
A rana ta tara ga watan huɗu a shekara ta goma sha ɗaya ta mulkin Zedekiya, sai aka huda katanga.
3 Zonke iziphathamandla zenkosi yeBhabhiloni zasezingena, zahlala esangweni eliphakathi, oNerigali-Sharezi, uSamiganebo, uSarisekimi, uRabisarisi, uNerigali-Sharezi, uRabimagi, lazo zonke ezinye iziphathamandla zenkosi yeBhabhiloni.
Sa’an nan dukan fadawan sarkin Babilon suka shiga suka zazzauna a Ƙofar Tsakiya. Wato, Nergal-Sharezer na Samgar-Nebo, Sarsekim wani babban hafsa, Nergal-Sharezer bafade mai girma da dukan sauran fadawan sarkin Babilon.
4 Kwasekusithi lapho uZedekhiya inkosi yakoJuda lawo wonke amadoda empi bezibona, babaleka, baphuma emzini ebusuku ngendlela yesivande senkosi, ngesango eliphakathi kwemiduli emibili; waphuma ngendlela yamagceke.
Sa’ad da Zedekiya sarkin Yahuda da dukan sojoji suka gan su, sai suka gudu; suka bar birnin da dare ta hanyar lambun sarki, ta ƙofar da take tsakanin katanga biyu, suka nufi waje Araba.
5 Kodwa ibutho lamaKhaladiya laxotshana labo, lamfica uZedekhiya emagcekeni eJeriko; selimbambile lamenyusela kuNebhukadinezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni eRibila, elizweni leHamathi, owakhuluma izigwebo ezimelene laye.
Amma sojojin Babiloniyawa suka bi su, suka ci wa Zedekiya a filayen Yeriko. Suka kama shi suka kai shi wurin Nebukadnezzar a Ribla a ƙasar Hamat, inda aka yanke masa hukunci.
6 Inkosi yeBhabhiloni yasibulala amadodana kaZedekhiya eRibila emehlweni akhe; inkosi yeBhabhiloni yabuya yabulala zonke izikhulu zakoJuda.
A can Ribla sarkin Babilon ya kashe’ya’yan Zedekiya a idanunsa aka kuma kashe dukan manyan mutanen Yahuda.
7 Yasiphumputhekisa amehlo kaZedekhiya, yambopha ngamaketane ethusi amabili ukuze imuse eBhabhiloni.
Sa’an nan ya ƙwaƙule idanun Zedekiya ya kuma buga masa ƙuƙumi, ya kai shi Babilon.
8 AmaKhaladiya asetshisa indlu yenkosi lezindlu zabantu ngomlilo, adilizela phansi imiduli yeJerusalema.
Sai Babiloniyawa suka cinna wa fadar da kuma gidajen mutane wuta suka farfasa katangar Urushalima.
9 Lensali yabantu eyayisele emzini, lalabo ababehlubukile, ababehlubukile kuyo, lensali yabantu eyayisele, uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi yabathumba yabasa eBhabhiloni.
Nebuzaradan shugaban matsaran sarki ya kwashi mutanen da suka rage a birnin zuwa zaman bauta a Babilon, tare da waɗanda suka riga suka tafi wurinsa, da kuma sauran mutanen.
10 Kodwa uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi watshiya elizweni lakoJuda ebantwini ababengabayanga ababengelalutho, wabanika izivini lamasimu ngalolosuku.
Amma Nebuzaradan shugaban matsaran ya bar waɗansu matalauta a ƙasar Yahuda, su da ba su da kome; a lokacin kuwa ya ba su gonakin inabi da kuma filaye.
11 UNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni waselaya ngesandla sikaNebuzaradani induna yabalindi ngoJeremiya esithi:
To, fa, Nebukadnezzar sarkin Babilon ya ba da wannan umarnai game da Irmiya ta wurin Nebuzaradan shugaban matsaran sarki cewa,
12 Mthathe, umise amehlo akho kuye, ungamenzeli ulutho olubi, kodwa njengokukhuluma kwakhe kuwe wenze njalo ngaye.
“Ka ɗauke shi ka lura da shi da kyau, kada ka yi masa wani mugun abu, amma ka yi masa dukan abin da yake so.”
13 Ngakho bathuma oNebuzaradani induna yabalindi, loNebushazibani, uRabisarisi, loNerigali-Sharezi, uRabimagi, lazo zonke induna zenkosi yeBhabhiloni,
Saboda haka Nebuzaradan shugaban matsara, Nebushazban babban hafsa, Nergal-Sharezer bafade mai girma da sauran hafsoshin sarkin Babilon
14 bathuma, bamthatha uJeremiya egumeni lentolongo, bamnikela kuGedaliya, indodana kaAhikhamu, indodana kaShafani, ukuze amkhuphe amuse endlini yakhe. Wasehlala phakathi kwabantu.
suka aika aka kawo Irmiya daga filin matsar. Suka miƙa shi ga Gedaliya ɗan Ahikam, ɗan Shafan, don yă kai shi gidansa. Saboda haka ya zauna a can a cikin mutanensa.
15 Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kuJeremiya esavalelwe egumeni lentolongo, lisithi:
Yayinda aka kulle Irmiya a sansanin matsara, maganar Ubangiji ta zo masa cewa,
16 Hamba ukhulume kuEbedimeleki umEthiyophiya uthi: Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Khangela, ngizakwehlisela amazwi ami kulumuzi ngokubi kungeyisikho ngokuhle, njalo azakuba phambi kwakho ngalolosuku.
“Tafi ka faɗa wa Ebed-Melek mutumin Kush, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila, yana cewa ina gab da cika maganata a kan wannan birni ta wurin masifa, ba wadata ba. A lokacin za tă cika a idanunka.
17 Kodwa ngizakophula ngalolosuku, itsho iNkosi, njalo kawuyikunikelwa esandleni sabantu obesabayo.
Amma zan kuɓutar da kai a wannan rana, in ji Ubangiji; ba zan ba da kai ga waɗanda kake tsoronsu ba.
18 Ngoba ngizakukhulula isibili, kawuyikuwa-ke ngenkemba, kodwa impilo yakho izakuba yimpango kuwe, ngoba uthembele kimi, itsho iNkosi.
Zan cece ka; ba za ka mutu ta wurin takobi ba amma za ka tsira da ranka, domin ka dogara gare ni, in ji Ubangiji.’”
