Jeremia 39
1 E higa mar ochiko mar Zedekia ruodh Juda, e dwe mar apar, Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon nodhi gi jolweny mage duto momonjo Jerusalem kendo ne gigoyone agengʼa.
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 To odiechiengʼ mar ochiko e dwe mar angʼwen e higa mar apar gachiel mar loch Zedekia, ohinga mar dala maduongʼno nomuki.
in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city).
3 Eka jotelo duto mag ruodh Babulon nobiro kendo obet e Dhorangach Madiere: Negal-Shareza ma ja-Samgar, Nebo-Sasekim jatelo maduongʼ, Negal-Shareza jatelo mamalo maduongʼ kod jotelo mamoko duto mag ruodh Babulon.
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 Ka Zedekia ruodh Juda kod jolweny duto nonenogi, negiringo giwuok e dala maduongʼno gotieno ka gikalo e rangach man e kind ohinga ariyo man but puoth ruoth, kendo ka gichomo 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 To jolwenj Babulon nolawogi kendo ojuko Zedekia e pewe mag Jeriko. Negimake mi gitere Ribla e piny Hamath ir Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon, kama nongʼadone bura.
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 E Ribla ruodh Babulon nonego yawuot Zedekia koneno bende nonego jo-Juda duto ma joka ruoth.
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 Eka nogolo wenge Zedekia oko kendo notweye gi rateke mag mula mondo notere Babulon.
Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
8 Jo-Babulon nowangʼo kar dak ruoth kod ute ji kendo negimuko ohinga mag Jerusalem.
The Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
9 Nebuzaradan ma jatend lweny mar piny nomako joma nodongʼ e dala maduongʼ moterogi e twech Babulon, kanyakla gi jogo mane osedhi ire, kod joma moko.
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 To Nebuzaradan ma jatend lweny noweyo e piny Juda joma odhier, mane onge gi gimoro; kendo e ndalogo nomiyogi puothe mzabibu kod puothe mamoko.
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 Koro Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon nosechiwo chike kuom Jeremia kokalo kuom Nebuzaradan ma jatend lweny mar piny kowacho ni:
Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon commanded Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard concerning Jeremiah, saying,
12 “Kawe kendo irite; kik ihinye to timne gimoro amora mokwayo.”
"Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do to him even as he shall tell you."
13 Omiyo Nebuzaradan ma jatend lweny, Nebushazban ma jatelo maduongʼ, Negal-Shareza ma jatelo mamalo kod jotelo duto mag ruodh Babulon
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 nooro wach mondo ogol Jeremia oa e laru mar jarito. Ne gitere ir Gedalia wuod Ahikam, ma wuod Shafan, mondo odwoke dalane. Omiyo nodongʼ e dier jogi owuon.
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 Sa mane Jeremia nokan e laru mar jolweny, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirone niya:
Now the word of YHWH came to Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
16 “Dhiyo kendo inyis Ebed-Melek ja-Kush, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: Achiegni timo gik mane awacho ni natim ne dala maduongʼni, ka akelo ne masiche to ok kwe. E kindeno notimgi ka ineno.
"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 Jehova Nyasaye wacho ni enoresi odiechiengʼno, ok nochiwi ne jogo miluoro.
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 Enoresi; ok nonegi gi ligangla to initony gi ngimani, nikech igeno kuoma,’” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
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."
