UJeremiya 40

¹Izwi elafika kuJeremiya livela kuJehova, uNebuzaradani induna yemilindankosi emlethile eRama, lapho esemthathile eboshwe ngamaketanga phakathi kwabo bonke ababethunjwe eJerusalema nakwaJuda, ababethunjiwe kude ekuthunjweni eBhabhiloni.

²Induna yemilindankosi yamthatha uJeremiya, yathi kuye: “UJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ukhulumile lobu bubi ngale ndawo;

³UJehova wakuletha, wenza njengokukhuluma kwakhe, ngokuba nonile kuJehova, analalela izwi lakhe, ngalokho le ndaba ibe phezu kwenu.

⁴Manje bheka, namuhla ngiyakukhulula amaketanga asesandleni sakho. Uma kukuhle kuwe ukuhamba nami eBabele, woza; futhi ngizoninakekela kahle; kepha uma kukubi emehlweni akho ukuya nami eBabele, kuyeke; bheka, izwe lonke liphambi kwakho; nomaphi lapho kubonakala kukuhle futhi kukulungele ukuba uye khona, hamba khona.

⁵Engakabuyi, wathi: “Buyela kuGedaliya, indodana ka-Ahikamu, indodana kaShafani, inkosi yaseBabele immise abe ngumbusi phezu kwemizi yakwaJuda, uhlale naye phakathi kwezizwe; lapho kubonakala kukuhle kuwe ukuya khona. Khona-ke induna yabalindi yamnika ukudla nomvuzo wamkhulula.

⁶UJeremiya waya kuGedaliya indodana ka-Ahikamu eMispa; wahamba wayohlala naye phakathi kwabantu ababesele ezweni.

⁷Lapho zonke izinduna zamabutho ezazisendle, zona namadoda azo, zizwa ukuthi inkosi yaseBhabhiloni yayimise uGedaliya, indodana ka-Ahikamu, ukuba abe umbusi wezwe, futhi iphathiswe kuye amadoda nabesifazane nabantwana. Nabampofu bezwe, nabangazange bathunjelwe eBabiloni;

⁸Base befika kuGedaliya eMispa, u-Ishmayeli indodana kaNethaniya, noJohanani, noJonathani, amadodana kaKhareya, noSeraya, indodana kaThanumethi, namadodana ka-Efayi umNethofa, noJeshaniya indodana A Maägatite, bona namadoda abo.

⁹UGedaliya indodana ka-Ahikamu kaShafani wafunga kubo nakubantu babo, wathi: “Ningesabi ukukhonza amaKaledi; hlalani ezweni nikhonze inkosi yaseBabele, kuyakuba kuhle kini.

¹⁰Mina-ke, bheka, ngiyohlala eMispa ukuze ngikhonze amaKaledi azakuza kithi; kodwa wena buthani iwayini nezithelo zasehlobo namafutha, nikubeke ezitsheni zenu, nihlale emizini yenu eniyithathileyo.

¹¹Ngokufanayo lapho wonke amaJuda ayekwaMowabi naphakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Amoni nakwa-Edomi nabasemazweni wonke ezwa ukuthi inkosi yaseBhabhiloni yayishiye ngemva insali yakwaJuda nokuthi ibeke indodana uGedaliya phezu kwayo. Ka-Ahikamu indodana kaShafani;

¹²Wonke amaJuda abuya kuzo zonke izindawo ayexoshelwe kuzo, eza ezweni lakwaJuda eGedaliya eMispa, abutha iwayini eliningi nezithelo zasehlobo.

¹³UJohanani indodana kaKhareya nazo zonke izinduna zamabutho ezazisendle beza kuGedaliya eMispa,

¹⁴Wathi kuye: “Uyazi yini ukuthi uBali inkosi yabantwana bakwa-Amoni uthume u-Ishmayeli indodana kaNethaniya ukuba akubulale na?” Kodwa uGedaliya, indodana ka-Ahikamu, akakholwanga kubo.

¹⁵UJohanani indodana kaKhareya wayesekhuluma kuGedaliya ngasese eMispa, wathi: “Ngivumele ngihambe ngibulale u-Ishmayeli indodana kaNethaniya, kungaziwa muntu; kufanele akubulaleleni, ukuze bonke abaJuda ababuthene kuwe bahlakazeke, nensali yakwaJuda ibhubhe na?

¹⁶Kepha uGedaliya indodana ka-Ahikamu wathi kuJohanani indodana kaKhareya: “Ungayenzi le nto, ngokuba ukhuluma inkohliso ngo-Ishmayeli.”
