Jeremiah 39
1 In the ninth year of Zedekiah, the king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem, with his entire army, and they besieged it.
Ary rehefa afaka Jerosalema (tamin’ ny volana fahafolo tamin’ ny taona fahasivy nanjakan’ i Zedekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, no nahatongavan’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, sy ny miaramilany rehetra hamely an’ i Jerosalema ka nanao fahirano azy;
2 Then, in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the fifth of the month, the city was opened.
ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahasivy tamin’ ny volana fahefatra tamin’ ny taona fahiraika ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Zedekia, dia nisy voabanga ny tanàna),
3 And all the rulers of the king of Babylon entered and were seated at the middle gate: Nergal-Sharezer, the priest of Nebo, Sarsechim, the chief eunuch, Nergal-Sharezer, the chief magi, and all the other rulers of the king of Babylon.
dia niditra ny mpanapaky ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona rehetra ka nipetraka teo amin’ ny vavahady ampovoany, dia Nergala-sarezera sy Samgarnebo sy Sarsekima. Raba-sarisa, sy Nergala-sarezera Raba-magy, mbamin’ ny sisa rehetra amin’ ny mpanapaky ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona.
4 And when Zedekiah, the king of Judah, with all the men of war, had seen them, they fled. And they departed from the city at night, by way of the king’s garden, and through the gate which was between the two walls. And they departed along the way of the desert.
Ary rehefa nahita ireo Zedekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, sy ny miaramila rehetra, dia nandositra izy ka lasa nandeha alina niala tao an-tanàna, nahazo ny lalana mankamin’ ny sahan’ ny mpanjaka, tamin’ ny vavahady eo anelanelan’ ny manda roa; ary lasa nivoaka nankany amin’ ny lalana mankeny amin’ ny tani-hay izy.
5 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued them. And they overtook Zedekiah in the plain of the desert of Jericho. And having captured him, they led him to Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, at Riblah, which is in the land of Hamath. And he declared a judgment against him
Fa ny miaramilan’ ny Kaldeana nanenjika azy ka nahatratra an’ i Zedekia teny amin’ ny tani-hay any Jeriko; ary nony azony izy, dia nentiny niakatra ho any amin’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, tao Ribla tao amin’ ny tany Hamata; ka dia notsarainy tao izy.
6 And the king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah, at Riblah, before his eyes. And the king of Babylon killed all the nobles of Judah.
Ary ny zanakalahin’ i Zedekia dia novonoin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona tao Ribla teo imason-drainy; ary ny manan-kaja rehetra tamin’ ny Joda koa dia novonoin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona.
7 Also, he plucked out the eyes of Zedekiah. And he bound him with fetters, to be led away to Babylon.
Ary nopotsiriny ny mason’ i Zedekia, dia nafatony tamin’ ny gadra varahina izy ho entiny any Babylona.
8 Also, the Chaldeans burned the house of the king and the house of the people with fire, and they overturned the wall of Jerusalem.
Ary nodoran’ ny Kaldeana tamin’ ny afo ny tranon’ ny mpanjaka sy ny tranon’ ny vahoaka, ary ny mandan’ i Jerosalema noravany.
9 And Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, carried away captive to Babylon the remnant of the people who had remained in the city, and the fugitives who had fled to him, and all the rest of the people who had remained.
Ary ny olona sisa tao an-tanàna sy izay efa nanatona azy ary ny vahoaka sisa koa dia nentin’ i Nebozaradana, lehiben’ ny mpiambina, ho babo tany Babylona.
10 And Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, released some of the poor people, those who had almost nothing, into the land of Judah. And he gave them vineyards and cisterns in that day.
Nefa ny olona malahelo izay tsy nanana na inona na inona kosa dia nisy ihany navelan’ i Nebozaradana, lehiben’ ny mpiambina, tao amin’ ny tanin’ ny Joda sady nomeny tanim-boaloboka sy tanimboly tamin’ izany andro izany.
11 Now Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had instructed Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, about Jeremiah, saying:
Ary Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, nanome teny an’ i Nebozaradana, lehiben’ ny mpiambina, ny amin’ i Jeremia nanao hoe:
12 “Take him, and set your eyes on him, and you shall do no harm to him at all. But as he is willing, so shall you do with him.”
Ento izy, ka tandremo tsara, fa aza asian-dratsy fa araka izay lazainy aminao no ataovy aminy.
13 Therefore, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, sent, and Nebushazban, the chief eunuch, and Nergal-Sharezer, the chief magi, and all the nobles of the king of Babylon sent,
Ary Nebozaradana, lehiben’ ny mpiambina, sy Nebosazbana, Raba-sarisa, sy Nergala-sarezera, Raba-magy, ary ny mpanapaky ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona rehetra
14 and they took Jeremiah from the vestibule of the prison, and they delivered him to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, so that he could enter a house and live among the people.
dia naniraka haka an’ i Jeremia teo amin’ ny kianjan’ ny trano fiambenana, ka natolony an’ i Gedalia, zanak’ i Ahikama, zanak’ i Safana, mba ho entiny any an-trano izy, ka dia nitoetra tao amin’ ny olona.
15 But the word of the Lord had come to Jeremiah, when he had been confined to the vestibule of the prison, saying: “Go, and speak to Ebedmelech, the Ethiopian, saying:
Ary tonga tamin’ i Jeremia ny tenin’ i Jehovah, fony izy mbola voahazona tao amin’ ny kianjan’ ny trano fiambenana ihany, nanao hoe:
16 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring my words over this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be in your sight in that day.
Mandehana, ka lazao amin’ i Ebeda-meleka Etiopiana hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Indro, hotoviko amin’ ity tanàna ity ny teniko hahatonga loza, fa tsy soa; ary ho tanteraka eo imasonao izany amin’ izany andro izany.
17 And I will free you in that day, says the Lord. And you will not be delivered into the hands of the men whom you dread.
Nefa hovonjeko ianao amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah, fa tsy mba hatolotra eo an-tànan’ ny olona izay atahoranao.
18 But when delivering, I will free you. And you will not fall by the sword. Instead, your life will be saved for you, because you had faith in me, says the Lord.”
Fa hovonjeko tokoa ianao ka tsy holavon-tsabatra; eny, ny ainao no ho babonao, satria efa natoky Ahy, hoy Jehovah.
