Yeremiya 39
1 Mzinda wa Yerusalemu anawulanda motere: Mʼchaka chachisanu ndi chinayi cha Zedekiya mfumu ya Yuda, mwezi wakhumi, Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni anabwera ndi gulu lake lonse kudzathira nkhondo mzinda wa Yerusalemu ndipo anawuzinga mzindawo.
In the ninth year of Sedecias king of Juda, in the tenth month, came Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and all his army to Jerusalem, and they besieged it.
2 Ndipo pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chinayi la mwezi wachinayi wa chaka cha khumi ndi chimodzi cha Zedekiya, malinga a mzindawo anabowoledwa.
And in the I eleventh year of Sedecias, in the fourth month, the fifth day of the month, the city was opened.
3 Pamenepo akuluakulu onse a mfumu ya ku Babuloni anabwera nakakhala pa Chipata Chapakati. Akuluwo ndi awa: Nerigali-Sarezeri, Samugara Nebo, Sarisekimu mkulu wa nduna, Nerigali-Sarezeri winanso mlangizi wa mfumu ndi akuluakulu onse a mfumu ya ku Babuloni.
And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate: Neregel, Sereser, Semegarnabu, Sarsachim, Rabsares, Neregel, Serezer, Rebmag, and all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.
4 Zedekiya mfumu ya Yuda pamodzi ndi ankhondo ake atawaona, anathawa mu mzindawo usiku podzera ku munda wa mfumu, kudutsa chipata cha pakati pa makoma awiri. Anathawira ku Araba.
And when Sedecias the king of Juda and all the men of war saw them, they fled: and they went forth in the night out of the city by the way of the king’s garden, and by the gate that was between the two walls, and they went; out to the way of the desert.
5 Koma gulu la ankhondo la ku Babuloni linalondola ndi kumupeza Zedekiyayo mʼchigwa cha ku Yeriko. Anamugwira napita naye kwa Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni ku Ribula mʼdziko la Hamati kumene anagamula mlandu wake.
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them: and they took Sedecias in the plain of the desert of Jericho, and when they had taken him, they brought him to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon to Reblatha, which is in the land of Emath: and he gave judgment upon him.
6 Ku Ribulako, mfumu ya ku Babuloni inapha ana aamuna a Zedekiya iyeyo akuona. Inaphanso anthu olemekezeka onse a ku Yuda.
And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Sedecias, in Reblatha, before his eyes: and the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Juda.
7 Kenaka inakolowola maso a Zedekiya ndi kumumanga ndi maunyolo a mkuwa nʼkupita naye ku Babuloni.
He also put out the eyes of Sedecias: and bound him with fetters, to be carried to Babylon.
8 Ababuloni anatentha nyumba ya mfumu ndi nyumba za anthu, ndiponso anagwetsa malinga a Yerusalemu.
And the Chaldeans burnt the king’s house, and the houses of the people with fire, and they threw down the wall of Jerusalem.
9 Nebuzaradani, mtsogoleri wa alonda ankhondo a mfumu, anatenga ukapolo anthu onse otsala mu mzindamo kupita nawo ku Babuloni, pamodzi ndi amene anadzipereka kale kwa iye.
And Nabuzardan the general of the army carried away captive to Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city, and the fugitives that had gone over to him, and the rest of the people that remained.
10 Koma Nebuzaradani, mtsogoleri wa alonda ankhondo anasiya mʼdziko la Yuda anthu ena osauka, amene analibe chilichonse; ndipo anawapatsa minda ya mpesa ndi minda inanso.
But Nabuzardan the general left some of the poor people that had nothing at all, in the land of Juda, and he gave them vineyards, and cisterns at that time.
11 Tsono Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni inatuma mawu kwa Nebuzaradani mtsogoleri wa alonda ankhondo a mfumu za Yeremiya. Iye anati:
Now Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had given charge to Nabuzardan the general concerning Jeremias, saying:
12 “Mutenge, umusamale bwino, ndipo usamuvute koma umuchitire zimene afuna.”
Take him, and set thy eyes upon him, and do him no harm: but as he hath a mind, so do with him.
13 Choncho Nebuzaradani mtsogoleri wa alonda, Nebusazibani mkulu wa nduna, Nerigali-Sarezeri mlangizi wamkulu wa mfumu ndi akuluakulu onse a mfumu ya ku Babuloni
Therefore Nabuzardan the general sent, and Nabusezban, and Rabsares, and Neregel, and Sereser, and Rebmag, and all the nobles of the king of Babylon,
14 anatuma anthu nakamutulutsa Yeremiya mʼbwalo la alonda. Anakamupereka kwa Gedaliya mwana wa Ahikamu, mwana wa Safani, kuti amutumize ku nyumba yake. Ndipo Yeremiya anakhala pakati pa abale ake.
Sent, and took Jeremias out of the court of the prison, and committed him to Codolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan, that he might go home, and dwell among the people.
15 Yeremiya ali mʼndende ku bwalo la alonda, Yehova anayankhula naye:
But the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, when he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying: Go, and tell Abdemelech the Ethiopian, saying:
16 “Pita ukamuwuze Ebedi-Meleki, Mkusi, kuti, ‘Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli akuti: Zidzachitikadi zimene ndinanena zokhudza mzinda uno; ndipo zidzakhala zoyipa osati zabwino ayi. Zimenezi zidzachitika pa nthawi yake iwe ukuona.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will bring my words upon this city unto evil, and not unto good: and they shall be accomplished in thy sight in that day.
17 Koma ndidzakupulumutsa pa tsiku limenelo, akutero Yehova; sudzaperekedwa kwa anthu amene umawaopa.
And I will deliver thee in that day, saith the Lord: and thou shalt not be given into the hands of the men whom thou fearest:
18 Ndithu ndidzakupulumutsa; sudzaphedwa pa nkhondo koma udzapulumuka, chifukwa wadalira Ine, akutero Yehova.’”
But delivering, I will deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword: but thy life shall be saved for thee, because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the Lord.
