6 Lelibutfo labese liyayibamba lenkhosi+ layiyisa enkhosini yaseBhabhulona lebeyiseRibla futsi bakhipha sigwebo sayo. 7 Lelibutfo labulala emadvodzana aSedekiya embikwemehlo akhe; Nebukhadnezari wabese umkupuluta emehlo, wambopha ngetinketane telitfusi wase uya naye eBhabhulona.+

17 Jeremiya wabese ukhuluma naSedekiya watsi: “Naku lokushiwo nguJehova Nkulunkulu wemabutfo, longuNkulunkulu wema-Israyeli: ‘Nangabe utinikela* etindvuneni tenkhosi yaseBhabhulona angeke ubulawe, nalelidolobha angeke lishiswe futsi wena kanye nemndeni wakho nitawuchubeka niphila.+ 18 Kodvwa nangabe ungatinikeli* etindvuneni tenkhosi yaseBhabhulona, lelidolobha litawunikelwa kumaKhaledi, atalishisa ngemlilo+ futsi wena angeke uphunyule esandleni sawo.’”+

5 Kodvwa libutfo lemaKhaledi labagijimisa futsi lakhandza Sedekiya endzaweni lelugwadvule yaseJerikho.+ Lelibutfo lambamba futsi lamyisa eNkhosini Nebukhadnezari* yaseBhabhulona eRibla,+ eveni laseHamathi,+ lapho yakhipha khona sigwebo sakhe.

13 Ngitakwehlisela linethi lami lekutsiya kuye, futsi litambamba.+ Ngitawubese ngimyisa eBhabhulona, eveni lemaKhaledi, kodvwa angeke alibone; utawufike afele lapho.+
