Apo pene fye, kwamoneke ukuboko kwa mwaume kabili kwatendeke ukulemba pa cibumba ca mu muputule baleliila. Imfumu tayaishibe umo amashiwi ukuboko kwalembele yalolele.

E ico aitile abamajiki kabili abebele ati: ‘Onse uwalalondolola aya mashiwi, nkamulenga akabe kateka wa butatu mu Babiloni.’ Lelo bonse balifililwe ukulondolola umo amashiwi yalolele.

Lyena Belshasari amwebele ati: ‘Nga walabelenga aya mashiwi no kuyalondolola, nalakupeela aka kufwala mu mukoshi aka golde kabili walaba kateka wa butatu mu Babiloni.’ Lelo Daniele amwebele ati: ‘Nshilefwaya ukuti mumpeele ubupe, lelo nalamweba umo aya mashiwi yalolele. Shinwe Nebukadnesari, ali uwa cilumba lelo Yehova alimucefeshe.

Aba abashilika balingiile mu musumba no kucimfya abena Babiloni kabili balipeye ne mfumu. Pa numa Sailasi e waishileba kateka mu Babiloni.

Abantu bakwe abalefwaya ukubombako uyu mulimo kuti baya.’ Nga filya fine Yehova alaile, abaYuda abengi balibwelelemo ku Yerusalemu pa numa ya myaka 70 ukutula apo uyu umusumba waonawililwe.
