1 Ekuqaleni kokubusa kukaJehoyakhimi indodana kaJosiya inkosi yakoJuda kwafika lelilizwi livela eNkosini ^a lisithi: 2 Itsho njalo iNkosi: Mana egumeni lendlu yeNkosi, ^b ukhulume kuyo yonke imizi yakoJuda, efikayo ukuzakhonza endlini yeNkosi, wonke amazwi engikulaya ukuthi uwakhulume kubo; ^c unganciphisi lalizwi. ^d 3 Mhlawumbe bazalalela, ^e baphenduke ngulowo lalowo endleleni yakhe embi, ukuze ngizisole ^f ngokubi ebengicabanga ukukwenza kubo ^g ngenxa yobubi bezenzo zabo. ^h 4 Uzakuthi-ke kibo: Itsho njalo INkosi: Uba lingayikungilalela, ⁱ ukuthi lihambe ngomlayo wami engiwubeka phambi kwenu, 5 ukuthi lilalele amazwi enceku zami abaprofethi ^j engibathume kini, ^k yebo ngivuka ngovivi ngibathuma, kodwa kalilalelanga, ^l 6 ngizakwenza-ke lindlu ibe njengeShilo, ^m ngenze lumuzi ube yisiqalekiso kuzo zonke izizwe zomhlaba. ^{n
,} ^o 7 Ngakho abapristi labaprofethi labo bonke abantu bamuzwa uJeremiya ekhuluma lamazwi endlini yeNkosi. ^p

8 Kwathi uJeremiya eseqedile ukukhuluma konke iNkosi eyayimlaye ukuthi akukhulume ebantwini bonke, abapristi labaprofethi labo bonke abantu bambamba besithi: Uzakufa lokufa! ^q 9 Kungani uprofetha ngebizo leNkosi usithi: Lindlu izakuba njengeShilo, ^r lomuzi lo uzakuba lunxiwa, ungabi lamhlali? ^s Bonke abantu basebembuthanela uJeremiya endlini yeNkosi.

10 Kwathi iziphathamandla zakoJuda sezizwile lezizinto, zenyuka zivela endlini yenkosi zafika endlini yeNkosi, zahlala emnyango wesango elitsha lendlu yeNkosi. ^t 11 Abapristi labaprofethi basebekhuluma kuzo iziphathamandla lakubo bonke abantu besithi: Umuntu lo ufanele isigwebo sokufa, ngoba uprofethe emelene lalumuzi, ^u njengoba lizwile ngendlebe zenu.

12 Wasekhuluma uJeremiya kuzo zonke iziphathamandla lakubo bonke abantu esithi: INkosi yangithuma ukuprofetha ngimelene lalindlu ngimelene lalumuzi wonke amazwi eliwezwileyo. 13 Ngakho-ke lungisani indlela zenu lezenzo zenu, ^v lilalele ilizwi leNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu; khona iNkosi izazisola ngobubi ebukhulume imelene lani. ^w 14 Kodwa mina, khangela, ngisesandleni senu; ^x yenzani kimi njengokulungileyo lanjengokuqondileyo emehlweni enu. ^y 15 Kodwa yazini isibili ukuthi uba lingibulala, isibili lizakwehlisela igazi elingelacala phezu kwenu laphezu kwalumuzi laphezu kwabakhileyo bawo; ngoba ngeqiniso iNkosi ingithume kini ukuthi ngikhulume wonke la amazwi endlebeni zenu.

16 Iziphathamandla labo bonke abantu basebesithi kubapristi lakubaprofethi: Lumuntu kafanele isigwebo sokufa, ngoba ukhulumile kithi ebizweni leNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu. 17 Kwasekusukuma abanye ^z babadala belizwe, ^aa bakhuluma kulo lonke ibandla labantu, besithi: 18 UMika umMorashethi waprofetha ensukwini zikaHezekhiya inkosi yakoJuda, ^ab wakhuluma kibo bonke abantu bakoJuda esithi: Itsho njalo INkosi yamabandla: IZiyoni izalinywa njengensimu, ^ac leJerusalema ibe zinqumbi, lentaba yendlu ibe zindawo eziphakemeyo zegusu. 19 UHezekhiya inkosi yakoJuda layo wonke uJuda bambulala isibili yini? Kayesabanga yini iNkosi, ^ad wancenga ubuso beNkosi, njalo iNkosi yazisola ngokubi eyayikukhulume imelene labo? ^{ae

20 Kwakukhona njalo umuntu owaprofetha ebizweni leNkosi, uUriya indodana kaShemaya oweKiriyathi-Jeyarimi, ^ai owaprofetha ngalumuzi langalelilizwe njengokwamazwi wonke kaJeremiya. 21 Kwathi inkosi uJehoyakhimi ^aj lawo wonke amaqhawe akhe lazo zonke iziphathamandla zakhe besizwa amazwi akhe, inkosi yadinga ukumbulala; kwathi uUriya ekuzwa, wesaba, wabaleka, waya eGibhithe. 22 Inkosi uJehoyakhimi yasithuma amadoda eGibhithe, uElinathani ^ak indodana kaAkhibhori, ^al lamanye amadoda kanye laye eGibhithe, 23 basebemkhipha uUriya eGibhithe, bamletha enkosini uJehoyakhimi, owambulala ngenkemba, ^am waphosela isidumbu sakhe emangcwabeni abantwana babantu.

24 Kodwa isandla sikaAhikhamu ^an indodana kaShafani ^ao sasiloJeremiya, ukuze bangamnikeli esandleni sabantu ukuthi bambulale.
