Mfumu Nebukaneza byo asendele babinemanga ba mu Yuda ne kwibatwala ku Babilona, waambijile bashilikale banji kusalamo bansongwalume bakosa kabiji ba maana. Bano bansongwalume bebatwajile na kwibafunjisha pa myaka isatu. Byo bebafunjishenga bibalengejile kwikala babinemanga mu Babilona. Nebukaneza waambijile Ahipenaze wajinga mukulumpe wa bamitonyi kwibafunjishanga. Bano bansongwalume bafunjilenga kutanga, kunemba ne kwamba Kiakadeyanyi, mulaka wa bena Babilona. Kabiji bebanengezhezhanga ne kajo konka kajangapo mwine mfumu ne babinemanga banji. Bano bansongwalume bana bajinga Danyela, Hananiya, Mishela ne Azaliya. Ashapenaze wibatumbile mazhina a bena Babilona, Danyela wamutumbile’mba Beleteshaza, Hananiya amba Shadalaka, Mishela amba  Meshaka ne Azaliya wamutumbile’mba Abedenego. Nanchi byo bafunjilenga bibalengejile kuleka kwingijila Yehoba nyi?

Bano bansongwalume bana bafuukwilepo kukookela Yehoba. Bayukile kuba’ma kechi bafwainwe kujanga kajo kebapelenga mfumu kakainye Yehoba mu Mizhilo yanji ne. Onkao mambo, babuujile Ashapenaze amba ‘mwane kange betupenga kajo ka mfumu ne.’ Ashapenaze wibakumbwile’mba: ‘Mfumu ukangipaya inge akemumone mwanyana na mambo a kubula kuja kajo ko abena kwimupa.’
