Jeremiah 39
1 And it came to pass when Jerusalem was taken, in the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem, and besieged it.
Yudahene Sedekia dii adeɛ no, ne mfeɛ nkron mu bosome edu so no, Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar ne nʼakodɔm nyinaa tuu Yerusalem so sa, wɔtua kuropɔn no na wɔyɛɛ mpie twaa ho hyiaeɛ.
2 In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city.
Sedekia adedie afe a ɛtɔ so dubaako, bosome a ɛtɔ so ɛnan no da a ɛtɔ so nkron no, wɔbubuu kuropɔn no afasuo.
3 And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, to wit, Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim, Rab-saris, Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag, with all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.
Na Babiloniahene adwumayɛfoɔ no nyinaa bɛtenaa Mfimfini Ɛpono hɔ: Nergal-Sareser a ɔfiri Samgar ne Nebo-Sarsekim a ɔyɛ ɔsraani panin ne Nergal-Sareser a ɔyɛ otitire, ne Babiloniahene adwumayɛfoɔ a aka no nyinaa.
4 And it came to pass 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.
Ɛberɛ a Yudahene Sedekia ne nʼasraafoɔ nyinaa hunuu wɔn no, wɔdwaneeɛ, wɔfaa ɔhene turo mu firii kuropɔn no mu anadwo, kɔfaa ɛpono a ɛwɔ afasuo mmienu no ntam, de wɔn ani kyerɛɛ Araba.
5 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 Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he gave judgment upon him.
Nanso, Babilonia akodɔm no taa wɔn kɔtoo Sedekia wɔ Yeriko tata so. Wɔfaa no dommum de no kɔmaa Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar wɔ Ribla a ɛwɔ Hamat asase so, na ɛhɔ na ɔbuu no atɛn.
6 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.
Ribla hɔ na Babiloniahene kunkumm Sedekia mmammarima wɔ nʼanim na ɔkumm Yudafoɔ mmapɔmma nyinaa nso.
7 Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him in fetters to carry him to Babylon.
Afei ɔtutuu Sedekia ani, de kɔbere mfrafraeɛ mpokyerɛ guu no sɛ ɔde no rekɔ Babilonia.
8 And the Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
Babiloniafoɔ no de ogya too ahemfie no ne nnipa no afie mu, na wɔdwirii Yerusalem afasuo no.
9 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the residue of the people that remained in the city, the deserters also that fell away to him, and the residue of the people that remained.
Ɔsahene Nebusaradan a ɔtua ɔhene awɛmfoɔ ano no de kuropɔn no mu nkaeɛfoɔ, wɔn a wɔde wɔn ho kɔmaa no ne nnipa a aka no kɔɔ nkoasom mu wɔ Babilonia.
10 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, that had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
Nanso, ɔsahene Nebusaradan a ɔtua awɛmfoɔ no ano no gyaa ahiafoɔ wɔnni hwee no mu bi wɔ Yuda asase so, na saa ɛberɛ no ɔmaa wɔn bobe nturo ne nsase.
11 Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying,
Na Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar afa ɔsahene Nebusaradan a ɔtua ɔhene awɛmfoɔ ano no so ama saa ɔhyɛ nsɛm yi a ɛfa Yeremia ho sɛ,
12 Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm, but do to him even as he shall say to thee.
“Fa no na hwɛ ne so; nha no na deɛ ɔbisa biara no, yɛ ma no.”
13 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushazban, Rab-saris, and Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag, and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon.
Enti, ɔsahene Nebusaradan a ɔtua awɛmfoɔ no ano, Nebusaradan, adwumayɛfoɔ panin, Nergal-Sareser a ɔyɛ otitire ne Babiloniahene adwumayɛfoɔ a wɔaka no nyinaa
14 And 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 dwelt among the people.
soma ma wɔkɔfaa Yeremia firi awɛmfoɔ adihɔ hɔ baeɛ. Wɔde no hyɛɛ Safan babarima Gedalia babarima Ahikam nsa sɛ ɔmfa no nkɔ ne efie. Enti, Yeremia tenaa nʼankasa nkurɔfoɔ mu.
15 Now the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
Ɛberɛ a Yeremia da so da afiase wɔ awɛmfoɔ adihɔ hɔ no, Awurade asɛm baa ne nkyɛn sɛ,
16 Go, and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good, and they shall be accomplished before thee in that day.
“Kɔka kyerɛ Kusni Ebed-Melek sɛ, ‘Sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, seɛ nie: Me nsɛm a ɛtia kuropɔn yi no mede refa amanehunu so na ɛnyɛ yiedie so ama aba mu. Saa ɛberɛ no ɛbɛba mu wɔ wʼanim.
17 But I will deliver thee in that day, says Jehovah, and thou shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou are afraid.
Nanso mɛgye wo saa ɛda no, Awurade na ɔseɛ; wɔremfa wo nhyɛ wɔn a wosuro wɔn no nsa.
18 For I will surely save thee, and thou shall not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey to thee, because thou have put thy trust in me, says Jehovah.
Mɛgye wo nkwa, na worentɔ wɔ akofena ano na mmom wobɛnya wo tiri adidi mu, ɛfiri sɛ wogye me di, Awurade, na ɔseɛ.’”
