3 Kwangale minyaka mibini izalisekileyo, ndiya kuyibuyisela kule ndawo yonke impahla yendlu kaYehova, awayithabathayo kuloo ndawo uNebhukadenetsare ukumkani waseBhabheli, wayisa eBhabheli.
4 Ndiya kubabuyisela kule ndawo oYekoniya unyana kaYehoyakim, ukumkani wakwaYuda, nabafudusiweyo bonke bakwaYuda, abayé eBhabheli, utsho uYehova; ngokuba ndiya kuyaphula idyokhwe yokumkani waseBhabheli.
5 Wathi uYeremiya umprofeti kuHananiya umprofeti, emehlweni ababingeleli, nasemehlweni abantu bonke abemiyo endlwini kaYehova:
6 wathi uYeremiya umprofeti, Amen, makenjenjalo uYehova. Makawamise uYehova amazwi akho owaprofetele ukuba ayibuyise impahla yendlu kaYehova, nabafudusiweyo bonke eBhabheli, beze kule ndawo.
7 Khawuve eli lizwi ndilithethayo ezindlebeni zakho, nasezindlebeni zabantu bonke.
8 Abaprofeti ababengaphambili kum nangaphambili kwakho kwasephakadeni, báprofeta imfazwe, nobubi, nendyikitya yokufa, besingisele kumazwe amaninzi nangezikumkani ezikhulu.
9 Umprofeti lowo ùprofeta uxolo, uya kwaziwa ukuba ungumprofeti othunyiweyo nguYehova okunene, ekwenzekeni kwelo lizwi lomprofeti lowo.
