Jeremiah 38
1 And Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchijah, heard the words that Jeremiah spoke to all the people, saying,
Nangngeg da Sefatias a putot ni Matan, Gedalias a putot ni Pasur, Jehucal a putot ni Selemias, ken Pasur a putot ni Malkias dagiti sasao nga imbagbaga ni Jeremias kadagiti amin a tattao. Imbagbagana,
2 Thus says Jehovah: He who abides in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, but he who goes forth to the Chaldeans shall live, and his life shall be to him for a prey, and he shall live.
“Kastoy ti ibagbaga ni Yahweh: “Mapapatayto ti siasinoman nga agnanaed iti daytoy a siudad, babaen iti kampilan, panagbisin, ken didigra. Ngem makalasatto ti siasinoman a rummuar a mapan kadagiti Caldeo. Maispalna ti biagna, ket agbiag.
3 Thus says Jehovah: This city shall surely be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it.
Kastoy ti ibagbaga ni Yahweh: Maipaimanto daytoy a siudad iti armada ti ari ti Babilonia, ket parmekennanto daytoy.”
4 Then the rulers said to the king, Let this man, we pray thee, be put to death, inasmuch as he weakens the hands of the men of war who remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words to them. For this man seeks not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.
Isu a kinuna dagiti opisial iti ari, “Ipalubosmo koma a mapapatay daytoy a tao, ta iti daytoy a wagas ket pakpakapsutenna ti nakem dagiti makirangranget a lallaki iti daytoy a siudad, ken ti nakem dagiti amin a tattao iti siudad. Ibagbagana dagitoy a sasao, ta daytoy a tao ket saan nga agar-aramid iti pagsayaatan dagitoy a tattao, no di ket didigra.”
5 And Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand, for the king is not he who can do anything against you.
Isu a kinuna ni Ari Zedekias, “Kitaenyo, adda isuna kadagita imayo agsipud ta awan ti ari a makabael a mangtubngar kadakayo.”
6 Then they took Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchijah the king's son, that was in the court of the guard. And they let Jeremiah down with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire, and Jeremiah sank in the mire.
Ket innalada ni Jeremias ket impuruakda iti bubon ni Malkias, a putot ti ari. Ti bubon ket adda iti paraangan a pagbanbantayan. Imbabada ni Jeremias babaen kadagiti tali. Awan danum ti bubon, ngem napitak daytoy, ket nailumlom isuna kadagiti pitak.
7 Now when Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, a eunuch, who was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon (the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin),
Ita, ni Ebed Melec a taga-Cus ket maysa kadagiti eunuko iti balay ti ari. Nangngegna nga ingkabilda ni Jeremias iti bubon. Ita, agtugtugaw ti ari iti Ruangan ti Benjamin.
8 Ebed-melech went forth out of the king's house, and spoke to the king, saying,
Isu a napan ni Ebed Melec manipud iti balay ti ari ket nakisao iti ari. Kinunana,
9 My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet whom they have cast into the dungeon. And he is likely to die in the place where he is because of the famine, for there is no more bread in the city.
“Apok nga ari, dakes ti inaramid dagitoy a tattao iti panangtratoda kenni Jeremias a profeta. Impurwakda isuna iti bubon tapno matay sadiay iti bisin, agsipud ta awanen ti taraon iti siudad.”
10 Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from here thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon before he dies.
Ket binilin ti ari ni Ebed Melec a taga-Cus. Kinunana, “Idauloam ti tallopulo a lallaki ditoy ket iyaonyo ni Jeremias a profeta iti bubon sakbay a matay isuna.”
11 So Ebed-melech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took from there rags and worn-out garments, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.
Isu a nangidaulo ni Ebed Melec kadagiti lallaki ket napanda iti balay ti ari, iti bodega a nakaikabilan dagiti kawkawes iti sirok ti balay. Manipud sadiay, nangala isuna kadagiti ragas ken rutrot a kawkawes ket impauyaoyda iti bubon kenni Jeremias babaen iti tali.
12 And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, Now put these rags and worn-out garments under thine armpits under the cords. And Jeremiah did so.
Kinuna ni Ebed Melec a taga-Cus kenni Jeremias, “Ikabilmo dagiti ragas ken dagiti rutrot a kawes iti kilikilim ket iputiputmo iti tali.” Inaramid ngarud ni Jeremias dayta.
13 So they drew up Jeremiah with the cords, and took him up out of the dungeon. And Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
Ket ginuyodda ni Jeremias babaen kadagiti tali. Iti kastoy a wagas naiyaonda isuna iti bubon. Isu a nagtalinaed ni Jeremias iti paraangan a pagbanbantayan.
14 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet to him into the third entry that is in the house of Jehovah. And the king said to Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing; hide nothing from me.
Ket nangipatulod ni Zedekias iti mensahe ket inyegda kenkuana ni Jeremias a profeta, iti maikatlo a pagserekan iti balay ni Yahweh. Kinuna ti ari kenni Jeremias, “Adda kayatko a saludsoden kenka. Saanmo nga ipaidam kaniak ti sungbat.”
15 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, If I declare it to thee, will thou not surely put me to death? And if I give thee counsel, thou will not hearken to me.
Kinuna ni Jeremias kenni Zedekias, “No sungbatanka, saan kadi a papatayennakto met laeng? Ken no balakadanka, saannak a denggen.”
16 So Zedekiah the king swore secretly to Jeremiah, saying, As Jehovah lives, who made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, nor will I give thee into the hand of these men who seek thy life.
Ngem nalimed a nagsapata ni Zedekias kenni Jeremias a kinunana, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon, a namarsua kadata, saanka a papatayen wenno ipaima kadagiti agpangpanggep a mangkettel iti bagmo.”
17 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, Thus says Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel. If thou will go forth to the king of Babylon's rulers, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire, and thou shall live, and thy house.
Isu a kinuna ni Jeremias kenni Zedekias, “Ni Yahweh, a Dios a Mannakabalin amin, a Dios ti Israel, kastoy ti kunana: No rummuarka a mapan kadagiti opisial ti ari ti Babilonia, agbiagka, ket saanto a mapuoran daytoy a siudad. Abiagkanto ken ti pamiliam.
18 But if thou will not go forth to the king of Babylon's rulers, then this city shall be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou shall not escape out of their hand.
Ngem no saanka a mapan kadagiti opisial ti ari ti Babilonia, maipaimanto daytoy a siudad kadagiti Caldeo. Puoranda daytoy ket saankanto a makalibas iti imada.”
19 And Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews who have fallen away to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they abuse me.
Kinuna ni Ari Zedekias kenni Jeremias, “Ngem mabutengak kadagiti tattao ti Juda a timmipon kadagiti Caldeo, gapu ta amangan no maipaimaak kadakuada tapno parigatendak.”
20 But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver thee. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of Jehovah, in that which I speak to thee, so it shall be well with thee, and thy soul shall live.
Kinuna ni Jeremias, “Saandaka nga ipaima kadakuada. Agtulnogka iti mensahe ni Yahweh nga ibagbagak kenka, tapno nasayaat dagiti mapasamak kenka, ken tapno agbiagka.
21 But if thou refuse to go forth, this is the word that Jehovah has shown me:
Ngem no agkedkedka a rummuar, daytoy ti impakita ni Yahweh kaniak:
22 Behold, all the women who are left in the king of Judah's house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon's rulers. And those women shall say, Thy familiar friends have set upon thee, and have prevailed over thee. Since thy feet are sunk in the mire, they have turned back away.
Kitaem! Amin dagiti babbai a nabati iti balaymo, ari ti Juda, ket maipanto kadagiti opisial ti ari ti Babilonia. Ibaganto dagitoy a babbai kenka, 'Inallilawdaka dagiti gagayemmo; ket dinadaeldaka. Nailumlumen ita dagiti sakam iti pitak ket panawandakanto dagiti gagayyemmo.'
23 And they shall bring out all thy wives and thy sons to the Chaldeans. And thou shall not escape out of their hand, but shall be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon. And thou shall cause this city to be burned with fire.
Ta amin nga assawam ken putotmo ket maipanto iti ayan dagiti Caldeo, ket sika a mismo ket saankanto a makalibas kadagiti imada. Matiliwnakanto ti ima ti ari ti Babilonia, ket mauramto daytoy a siudad.”
24 Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and thou shall not die.
Ket kinuna ni Zedekias kenni Jeremias, “Saanmo nga ibagbaga iti siasinoman ti maipanggep kadagitoy a sasao, tapno saanka a matay.
25 But if the rulers hear that I have talked with thee, and they come to thee, and say to thee, Declare to us now what thou have said to the king, hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death, also what the king said to thee,
No madamag dagiti opisial a nakisaoak kenka-no umayda ket ibagada kenka, 'Ibagam kadakami ti nagsaritaanyo iti ari. Saanmo nga ilimed kadakami, ta no saan patayendaka. Ken ibagam kadakami ti imbaga kenka ti ari'-
26 then thou shall say to them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house to die there.
ket nasken nga ibagam kadakuada, 'Nagpakpakaasiak iti ari a saannak nga isubli iti balay ni Jonatan a matay sadiay.'”
27 Then all the rulers came to Jeremiah, and asked him. And he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they left off speaking with him, for the matter was not perceived.
Ket napan kenni Jeremias dagiti amin nga opisial ket nagsaludsodda kenkuana, isu nga insungbatna kadakuada ti imbilin ti ari kenkuana. Insardengda ngarud ti nakisao kenkuana, gapu ta saanda a nangngeg ti nagsaritaan ni Jeremias ken ti ari.
28 So Jeremiah abode in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was taken.
Nagtalinaed ngarud ni Jeremias iti paraangan a pagbanbantayan agingga iti aldaw a nasakupen ti Jerusalem.
