10. Ngelo xesha benyuka abakhonzi bakaNebhukadenetsare, ukumkani waseBhabheli, beza eYerusalem; wangqingwa umzi lowo.
11. Wawufikela uNebhukadenetsare ukumkani waseBhabheli, bewungqingile abakhonzi bakhe.
12. Waphuma uYehoyakin, ukumkani wakwaYuda, waya kukumkani waseBhabheli, yena nonina, nabakhonzi bakhe, nabathetheli bakhe, nababusi bakhe; ukumkani waseBhabheli wamthabatha ke ngomnyaka wesibhozo wobukumkani bakhe.
13. Warhola khona bonke ubuncwane bendlu kaYehova, nobuncwane bendlu yokumkani; wazinqunqa zonke iimpahla zegolide, awazenzayo uSolomon ukumkani wakwaSirayeli etempileni kaYehova, njengoko wakuthethayo uYehova.
14. Wayifudusa yonke iYerusalem, nabathetheli bonke, namagorha onke anobukroti, ishumi lamawaka abathinjwa, zonke iingcibi nabakhandi; akwasala mntu, yaba ngamahlwempu elizwe odwa asalayo.
15. Wamfudusa uYehoyakin, wamsa eBhabheli, nonina wokumkani, nabafazi bokumkani, nababusi bakhe, neenjengele zelizwe; wabafudusa eYerusalem abathinjwa abo, wabása eBhabheli;
16. namadoda onke anobukroti angamawaka asixhenxe, neengcibi nabakhandi abaliwaka, onke amagorha anokulwa; abo ukumkani waseBhabheli wabása bengabathinjwa eBhabheli.
17. Ukumkani waseBhabheli wamenza uMataniya, uyisekazi kaYehoyakin, ukumkani esikhundleni sakhe; waliguqula igama lakhe languZedekiya.
18. UZedekiya ubeminyaka imashumi mabini anamnye ezelwe, ukuba ngukumkani kwakhe; waba neminyaka elishumi elinamnye engukumkani eYerusalem. Igama lonina belinguHamutali, intombi kaYeremiya waseLibhena.
19. Wenza okubi emehlweni kaYehova, njengako konke awakwenzayo uYehoyakim.
