Yelemaia 38
1 Na da dunu huluane ilima Hina Gode ea sia: i amane olelei, “Nowa dunu da Yelusaleme ganodini ouesalea, e da gegesu o ha: bagade o olosu amoga bogomu. Be nowa da gadili ahoasea, Ba: bilone fi ilima e gagulaligima: ne olelesea, e da medole legei dagoi hame ba: mu. E da esalumu. Na da Hina Gode Ea sia: i eno ilima olelei, amane,” Na da moilai bai bagade amo Ba: bilone dadi gagui wa: i ilima imunu, amola ilia da huluane gesowale lale dagomu.” Siefadaia (Ma: da: ne egefe), Gedalaia (Ba: sie egefe), Yihuga: le (Sielemaia egefe) amola Ba: sie (Ma: legaia egefe) ilia da na sia: nabi dagoi.
Now Shephatiah son of Mattan, Gedaliah son of Pashhur, Jucal son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur son of Malchijah heard that Jeremiah had been telling all the people:
“This is what the LORD says: Whoever stays in this city will die by sword and famine and plague, but whoever surrenders to the Chaldeans will live; he will retain his life like a spoil of war, and he will live.
This is what the LORD says: This city will surely be delivered into the hands of the army of the king of Babylon, and he will capture it.”
4 Amalalu, ilia da hina bagadema asili, amane sia: i, “Amo dunu medole legemu da defea. E da amane sia: dalebeba: le, dadi gagui dunu da beda: su laha. Amola e da dunu huluane moilai ganodini esalebe, ilima ili beda: ma: ne sia: sa. E da dunu hame fidisa. E da ili se nabima: ne fawane hanai galebe.”
Then the officials said to the king, “This man ought to die, for he is discouraging the warriors who remain in this city, as well as all the people, by speaking such words to them; this man is not seeking the well-being of these people, but their ruin.”
5 Hina bagade Sedegaia da amane adole i, “Defea! Dilia hanaiga ema hamoma! Na da dilia logo ga: musa: hame dawa: !”
“Here he is,” replied King Zedekiah. “He is in your hands, since the king can do nothing to stop you.”
6 Amaiba: le, ilia da na gagulaligili, efega la: gili, hina bagade egefe Ma: legaia amo ea hano uli dogoi ganodini sanasi. Hano uli dogoi ganodini da hano hame dialu, fafu fawane dialebe ba: i. Amo ganodini na da bosona sa: i dagoi.
So they took Jeremiah and dropped him into the cistern of Malchiah, the king’s son, which was in the courtyard of the guard. They lowered Jeremiah with ropes into the cistern, which had no water but only mud, and Jeremiah sank down into the mud.
7 Be Ibedemilege (amo da Suda: ne soge gulusu danai dunu, e da hina bagade diasu ganodini hawa: hamonanu), ilia da na hano uli dogoi ganodini sanasi amo nabi. Amo esoga, hina bagade da Bediamini Logo Ga: su amoga fofada: su hamonanu.
Now Ebed-melech the Cushite, a court official in the royal palace, heard that Jeremiah had been put into the cistern. While the king was sitting at the Gate of Benjamin,
8 Amaiba: le, Ibedemilege da amoga asili, hina bagadema amane sia: i,
Ebed-melech went out from the king’s palace and said to the king,
9 “Hina bagade! Amo dunu ilia da wadela: le hamoi. Ilia da Yelemaia amo hano uli dogoi amo ganodini sanasi. Amogawi, e da dafawane bogomu. Bai moilai bai bagade amo ganodini da ha: i manu hame gala.”
“My lord the king, these men have acted wickedly in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet. They have dropped him into the cistern, where he will starve to death, for there is no more bread in the city.”
10 Amalalu, hina bagade Sedegaia da Ibedemilege ema e da dunu udiana oule asili, na bogosa: besa: le, hano uli dogoi amoga hiougili gadoma: ne sia: i.
So the king commanded Ebed-melech the Cushite, “Take thirty men from here with you and pull Jeremiah the prophet out of the cistern before he dies.”
11 Amaiba: le, Ibedemilege da amo dunu oule asili, hina bagade liligi ligisisu diasu amoga hea abula lale, efega la: gili nama sanasi.
Then Ebed-melech took the men with him and went to the king’s palace, to a place below the storehouse. From there he took old rags and worn-out clothes and lowered them with ropes to Jeremiah in the cistern.
12 E da na efega se nabasa: besa: le, amo hea abula na lobo haguduga ligisima: ne sia: i. Na da amo hamoi dagoi.
Ebed-melech the Cushite cried out to Jeremiah, “Put these worn-out rags and clothes under your arms to pad the ropes.” Jeremiah did so,
13 Amalalu, ilia da efega na hano uli dogoi yolesima: ne, hiougili gadoi. Fa: no na da hina bagade diasu gagoi amo ganodini gagili ga: i agoane esalebe ba: i.
and they pulled him up with the ropes and lifted him out of the cistern. And Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard.
14 Eso enoga, hina bagade Sedegaia da, ilia na Debolo ea logo osoda amoga oule misa: ne sia: i. E da nama amane sia: i, “Na da dima adole ba: mu galebe. Di da dafawane sia: huluanedafa nama ima.”
Then King Zedekiah sent for Jeremiah the prophet and received him at the third entrance to the house of the LORD. “I am going to ask you something,” said the king to Jeremiah. “Do not hide anything from me.”
15 Na da bu adole i, “Na da dafawane sia: huluanedafa dima sia: sea, di da na medole legemusa: sia: mu. Amola na da dima fada: i sia: adole iasea, di da amo sia: hame lalegagumu.”
“If I tell you,” Jeremiah replied, “you will surely put me to death. And even if I give you advice, you will not listen to me.”
16 Amaiba: le, hina bagade Sedegaia da wamowane nama amane sia: ne ilegei, “Na da Fifi Ahoanusu Gode E (amo Gode da esalusu ninima iasu) amo Ea Dioba: le agoane ilegesa. Na da di hamedafa medole legemu. Amola na da dunu amo di medole legemusa: hanai, amo ilia lobo da: iya di hame iasimu.”
But King Zedekiah swore secretly to Jeremiah, “As surely as the LORD lives, who has given us this life, I will not kill you, nor will I deliver you into the hands of these men who are seeking your life.”
17 Amalalu, na da Sedegaiama, Hina Gode Bagadedafa, Isala: ili fi ilia Gode, amo Ea sia: alofele sia: i, “Di da Ba: bilone hina bagade ea ouligisu dunu amo di gagulaligima: ne ahoasea, di da hame bogomu amola amo moilai bai bagade laluga ulagi dagoi hame ba: mu. Di amola dia sosogo fi da mae bogole, esalebe ba: mu.
Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “This is what the LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘If you indeed surrender to the officers of the king of Babylon, then you will live, this city will not be burned down, and you and your household will survive.
18 Be di da ilima bu gegesea, Ba: bilone dunu da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade huluane lale, laluga ulagimu. Amola di da hobeale masunu hamedei ba: mu.”
But if you do not surrender to the officers of the king of Babylon, then this city will be delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans. They will burn it down, and you yourself will not escape their grasp.’”
19 Be hina bagade da nama bu adole i, “Na da ninia fi dunu amo da hohonone, Ba: bilone dadi gagui fidimusa: asi, ilima beda: i galebe. Amabela: ? Ba: bilone dunu da na ilima ianu, ilia da nama se bagade imunu.”
But King Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “I am afraid of the Jews who have deserted to the Chaldeans, for the Chaldeans may deliver me into their hands to abuse me.”
20 Na da ema amane sia: i, “Ilia da di amo dunuma hame imunu. Dia Hina Gode Ea adole iasu nabima: ne, na da dima edegesa. Amasea, di da hahawane ba: mu, amola dia esalusu hame fisimu.
“They will not hand you over,” Jeremiah replied. “Obey the voice of the LORD in what I am telling you, that it may go well with you and you may live.
21 Be Hina Gode da na esala ba: su amo ganodini, di ilima gagulaligima: ne hame olesea, fa: no misunu hou nama olelei.
But if you refuse to surrender, this is the word that the LORD has shown me:
22 Na esala ba: su ganodini, na da uda huluane Yuda hina bagade diasu ganodini hame bogoi esalebe amo huluane Ba: bilone hina bagade ea dadi gagui ouligisu dunu ilima doaga: ma: ne, oule ahoanebe ba: i. Ilia da ahoasea, sia: dalebe nabima, amane, ‘Hina bagade ea dogolegei dunu ilia da ema ogogoi. Ilia da ea sia: banenesi dagoi. Amola e da wali fafuga bosona sa: i dagoiba: le, ea dogolegei ilia da e yolesi dagoi.”
All the women who remain in the palace of the king of Judah will be brought out to the officials of the king of Babylon, and those women will say: ‘They misled you and overcame you— those trusted friends of yours. Your feet sank into the mire, and they deserted you.’
23 Amasea, na da eno amane sia: i, “Dia uda amola mano huluane da Ba: bilone dunu ilima oule asi dagoi ba: mu. Amola ilia da di gagulaligimu. Ba: bilone hina bagade da di udigili hawa: hamosu hamoma: ne gagulaligimu, amola e da Yelusaleme laluga nene dagoma: ne ulagimu.”
All your wives and children will be brought out to the Chaldeans. And you yourself will not escape their grasp, for you will be seized by the king of Babylon, and this city will be burned down.”
24 Sedegaia da bu adole i, “Di da nama sia: dalebe amo eno dunuma maedafa olelema. Amasea, di da mae bogole, esalumu.
Then Zedekiah warned Jeremiah, “Do not let anyone know about this conversation, or you will die.
25 Eagene ouligisu dunu da na da dima sia: dalu nabasea, ilia da misini amola adi sia: dalula: adole ba: mu. Ilia da di da sia: huluane ilima adosea, di mae medole legema: ne ilegele sia: mu.
If the officials hear that I have spoken with you, and they come and demand of you, ‘Tell us what you said to the king and what he said to you; do not hide it from us, or we will kill you,’
26 Be di amane sia: ma, ‘Na da Sedegaiama e da na bogoma: ne, bu gagili ga: i diasuga mae asunasima: ne edegenanoma: ne fawane sia: i.’”
then tell them, ‘I was presenting to the king my petition that he not return me to the house of Jonathan to die there.’”
27 Amalalu, ouligisu dunu huluane da nama misini, nama adole ba: i. Na da hina bagade Sedegaia ea nama sia: i liligi defele, ilima bu adole i. Ilia da eno hou hamoma: ne hame ba: i. Bai dunu eno da ania sia: dasu hame nabi.
When all the officials came to Jeremiah and questioned him, he relayed to them the exact words the king had commanded him to say. So they said no more to him, for no one had overheard the conversation.
28 Amola na da hina bagade diasu gagoi ganodini udigili hawa: hamosu dunu agoane hamonanebe ba: i. Ba: bilone dunu da Yelusaleme lai dagoiba: le fawane yolesi.
And Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard until the day Jerusalem was captured.
