15 Ngaloo ndlela uYehoyakin+ wamthabathela ekuthinjweni eBhabhiloni;+ nonina kakumkani+ nabafazi bakakumkani namagosa akhe enkundla+ namadoda abalaseleyo elizwe wabaqhuba njengabantu abathinjiweyo ukusuka eYerusalem ukuya eBhabhiloni.

16 Bona oonyana bakaYehoyakim yayinguYekoniya+ unyana wakhe, uZedekiya unyana wakhe.

10 Ekuthwaseni+ konyaka uKumkani uNebhukadenetsare wathumela+ ukuba kuziswe eBhabhiloni+ iimpahla ezinqwenelekayo zendlu kaYehova.+ Ngapha koko, wenza uZedekiya+ uyisekazi ukumkani wakwaYuda naseYerusalem.+

28 Ngaba lo mntu uKoniya+ uluhlobo nje oludelekileyo, noluqhekeziweyo,+ okanye isitya esingayolisiyo?+ Kutheni na yena nenzala yakhe bemele baphoswe phantsi baze balahlelwe kwilizwe abangalazanga?’+

37 UKumkani uZedekiya+ unyana kaYosiya+ walawula esikhundleni sikaKoniya+ unyana kaYehoyakim,+ lowo uNebhukaderetsare ukumkani waseBhabhiloni wamenza ukumkani kwilizwe lakwaYuda.+

31 Ekugqibeleni kwathi ngonyaka wamashumi amathathu anesixhenxe wokuthinjwa kukaYehoyakin+ ukumkani wakwaYuda, ngenyanga yeshumi elinesibini, ngomhla wamashumi amabini anesihlanu enyangeni leyo, uEvili-merodaki ukumkani waseBhabhiloni, ngonyaka wokuba ngukumkani kwakhe, wayiphakamisa intloko+ kaYehoyakin ukumkani wakwaYuda waza wamkhupha kwindlu yentolongo.

11 uYosiya+ wazala uYekoniya+ nabantakwabo ngexesha lokugxothelwa eBhabhiloni.+
