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.
It happened when Jerusalem was taken, (in the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and besieged it;
2 Ndipo pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chinayi la mwezi wachinayi wa chaka cha khumi ndi chimodzi cha Zedekiya, malinga a mzindawo anabowoledwa.
in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city).
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.
Then all the officials of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the Middle Gate, Nergal-sar-ezer of Samgar, Nebu-sar-sekim the Rab-saris, Nergal-sar-ezer the Rab-mag, with all the rest of the officers 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.
It happened that, when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, through the gate between the two walls; and he went out toward the Arabah.
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 overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment on him.
6 Ku Ribulako, mfumu ya ku Babuloni inapha ana aamuna a Zedekiya iyeyo akuona. Inaphanso anthu olemekezeka onse a ku Yuda.
Then the king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon killed all the nobles of Judah.
7 Kenaka inakolowola maso a Zedekiya ndi kumumanga ndi maunyolo a mkuwa nʼkupita naye ku Babuloni.
Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
8 Ababuloni anatentha nyumba ya mfumu ndi nyumba za anthu, ndiponso anagwetsa malinga a Yerusalemu.
The Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and broke down the walls 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.
Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the residue of the people who remained in the city, the deserters also who fell away to him, and the residue of the people who 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 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
11 Tsono Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni inatuma mawu kwa Nebuzaradani mtsogoleri wa alonda ankhondo a mfumu za Yeremiya. Iye anati:
Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon commanded Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard concerning Jeremiah, saying,
12 “Mutenge, umusamale bwino, ndipo usamuvute koma umuchitire zimene afuna.”
"Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do to him even as he shall tell you."
13 Choncho Nebuzaradani mtsogoleri wa alonda, Nebusazibani mkulu wa nduna, Nerigali-Sarezeri mlangizi wamkulu wa mfumu ndi akuluakulu onse a mfumu ya ku Babuloni
So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushazban the Rab-saris, Nergal-sar-ezer the Rab-mag and all the chief officers 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.
they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he lived among the people.
15 Yeremiya ali mʼndende ku bwalo la alonda, Yehova anayankhula naye:
Now the word of YHWH came to Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the guard, 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.
"Go, and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, 'Thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel: "Look, I will bring my words on this city for disaster, and not for prosperity; and they shall be fulfilled before you in that day.
17 Koma ndidzakupulumutsa pa tsiku limenelo, akutero Yehova; sudzaperekedwa kwa anthu amene umawaopa.
But I will deliver you in that day, says YHWH; and you shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.
18 Ndithu ndidzakupulumutsa; sudzaphedwa pa nkhondo koma udzapulumuka, chifukwa wadalira Ine, akutero Yehova.’”
For I will surely save you, and you shall not fall by the sword, but your life will be given to you as a reward; because you have put your trust in me,"' says YHWH."
