1 UPhashuri indodana ka-Imeri umpristi owayengumbonisi omkhulu endlini kaJehova wamuzwa uJeremiya eprofetha ngalezo zinto.
2 UPhashuri wamshaya uJeremiya umprofethi, wamfaka esitokisini* esasingasesangweni lasenhla lakwaBenjamini elalingasendlini kaJehova.
3 Kwathi ngakusasa uPhashuri wamkhipha uJeremiya esitokisini. UJeremiya wayesethi kuye: “UJehova akabizanga igama lakho ngokuthi uPhashuri kepha uMagori Misabibi.*
4 Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova, uthi: ‘Bheka, ngiyakukwenza ukuba ube luvalo kuwe uqobo nakubo bonke abangane bakho; bayakuwa ngenkemba yezitha zabo, amehlo akho akubone; ngiyakunikela wonke uJuda esandleni senkosi yaseBabele, ibathumbele eBabele, ibabulale ngenkemba.
5 Futhi ngiyakunikela yonke imfuyo yalo muzi, nayo yonke imisebenzi yawo, nakho konke kwawo okuyigugu, yebo, yonke ingcebo yamakhosi akwaJuda esandleni sezitha zabo, ziyiphange, ziyithathe, ziyiyise eBabele.
