¹Zvino Jerusaremu rakati rakundwa, negore repfumbamwe raZedhekia mambo waJudha, nomwedzi wegumi, Nebhukadhirezari mambo weBhabhironi akauya nehondo yake yose kuzorwa neJerusaremu, ndokurikomba.

¹ Mate kaŋ wongo na Urusalima ŋwa d'a neeya: Yahuda bonkoono Zedeciya koytara jiiri yagganta, jiiro handu wayanta ra no Babila bonkoono Nebukadnezzar kaa, nga nda nga wongu marga kulu ka Urusalima wongu. A n'a koli ka bare nda wongu mo.

²Zvino negore regumi nerimwe raZedhekia, nomwedzi wechina, nezuva repfumbamwe romwedzi vakakoromora rusvingo rweguta,

² Zedeciya jiiri way cindi fa, jiiro handu taacanta, hando jirbi yagganta ra no i na birno cinaro fun.

³machinda ose amambo weBhabhironi akapinda, akagara pasi musuwo rapakati, vaiti Nerigarisharezeri, naSamigarinebho, naSherisekimu mukuru wavaranda, naNerigarisharezeri mukuru wen'anga, pamwechete namachinda ose amambo weBhabhironi.

³ Kala Babila bonkoono wonkoyey kulu furo ka goro kwaara Bindo Meyo gaa. Ngey neeya: Nergal-Sarezar, da Samgar-Nebo, da Sarsecim kaŋ ga ti mantawey jine funa, da Nergal-Sarezar kaŋ ga ti safarko beero, da Babila wonkoy cindey kulu i banda.

⁴Zvino Zedhekia mambo waJudha navarwi vose vakati vachivaona vakatiza, vakabuda muguta vusiku, vachienda nenzira yokumunda wamambo, napasuwo raiva pakati pamasvingo maviri; akabuda achienda kumapani.

⁵Asi hondo yavaKaradhea yakadzingana navo, vakabata Zedhekia pamapani eJeriko; zvino vakati vamubata, vakaenda naye kuna Nebhukadhirezari mambo weBhabhironi paRibhira munyika yeHamati, iye akamutonga.

⁵ Amma Kaldancey soojey n'i gana ka Zedeciya to Yeriko gooro batamey ra. Waato kaŋ i n'a di, i kand'a Babila bonkoono Nebukadnezzar do Ribla, Hamat laabo ra. Noodin mo no a na ciiti dumbu a se.

⁶Ipapo mambo weBhabhironi akauraya vanakomana vaZedhekia paRibhira iye akatarira; uye mambo weBhabhironi wakaurayawo vakuru vose vaJudha.

⁶ Kala Babila bonkoono na Zedeciya izey wi a jine Ribla ra, Babila bonkoono na Yahuda boro beerey kulu wi mo.

⁷Akatumburawo meso aZedhekia, akamusunga namaketani kuti amuise Bhabhironi.

⁷ A na Zedeciya moy looti, gaa no a n'a haw da guuru-say sisiriyaŋ zama i ma kond'a Babila.

⁸VaKaradhea vakapisa imba yamambo, nedzimba dzavanhu nomoto, vakakoromora masvingo Jerusaremu.

⁸ Kaldancey mo na bonkoono faada da borey windey ton, ka Urusalima birni cinarey bagu-bagu mo.

⁹Ipapo Nebhuzaradhani mukuru wavarindi akatapa vanhu vakanga vasara muguta, navashanduki vakanga vauya kwaari, navamwe vanhu vakanga vasara, akavaisa Bhabhironi.

⁹ Waato din gaa no batukoy koyo Nebuzaradan na boro jaray kaŋ cindi birno ra sambu. A kond'ey ka daŋ tamtaray Babila ra, ngey nda borey kaŋ bare ka ye a do haray, da laabo boro jaray kaŋ cindi.
