25 Kwathi ngonyaka wesithoba+ wokuba ngukumkani kwakhe, ngenyanga yeshumi, ngomhla weshumi+ wenyanga leyo, weza uNebhukadenetsare+ ukumkani waseBhabhiloni,+ ewe, yena nawo wonke umkhosi wakhe wamajoni, nxamnye neYerusalem baza bamisa iinkampu ecaleni kwayo bakha nodonga lokungqinga ecaleni kwayo macala onke.+

17 Ngoko wanyusa nxamnye nabo ukumkani wamaKhaledi,+ owabulala abafana babo ngekrele+ endlwini yabo engcwele,+ akabanga namfesane ngamfana nangantombi inyulu, omdala okanye owalupheleyo.+ Yonk’ into wayinikela esandleni sakhe.

7 Unyuke njengengonyama iphuma entshinyeleni yayo,+ yaye lowo wonakalisa iintlanga undulukile;+ uphumile endaweni yakhe ukuze enze ilizwe lakho libe yinto ekhwankqisayo. Izixeko zakho ziya kuwa zibe ngamanxuwa, zingabi nabemi.+
