< Jeremiah 40 >

1 The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, after that Nabuzardan the general had let him go from Rama, when he had taken him, being bound with chains, among all them that were carried away from Jerusalem and Juda, and were carried to Babylon.
Daytoy ti sao nga immay kenni Jeremias manipud kenni Yahweh kalpasan a pinalubosan isuna ni Nebuzaradan, a kapitan dagiti agbanbantay iti ari a mapan idiay Rama. Dayta ti lugar a nakaiyapanan ni Jeremias, ken ti lugar a nangrimpunganda kenkuana babaen kadigiti kawar. Kaduana dagiti amin a natiliw idiay Jerusalem ken Juda a maipan kas balud idiay Babilonia.
2 And the general of the army taking Jeremias, said to him: The Lord thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this place,
Innala ti pangulo dagiti agbanbantay ni Jeremias ket kinunana kenkuana, “Inkeddeng ni Yahweh a Diosmo daytoy a didigra a maibusor iti daytoy a lugar.
3 And he hath brought it: and the Lord hath done as he hath said: because you have sinned against the Lord, and have not hearkened to his voice, and this word is come upon you.
Isu nga inyeg ni Yahweh daytoy. Inaramidna no ania iti inkeddengna, agsipud ta nagbasolkayo a tattao kenkuana ken saankayo a nagtulnog iti timekna. Dayta ti makagapu a napasamak daytoy a banag kadakayo a tattao.
4 Now then behold I have loosed thee this day from the chains which were upon thy hands: if it please thee to come with me to Babylon, come: and I will set my eyes upon thee: but if it do not please thee to come with me to Babylon, stay here: behold all the land is before thee, as thou shalt choose, and whither it shall please thee to go, thither go.
Ngem ita kitaem! Winayawayaanka itan manipud kadagiti kawar nga adda kadagiti imam. No iti panagkitam ket nasayaat a kumuyogka kaniak a mapan idiay Babilonia, umayka, ket aywananka. Ngem no iti panagkitam ket saan a nasayaat a kumuyogka kaniak idiay Babilonia, saanmo ngarud nga aramiden. Kumitaka iti entero a daga iti sangoanam. Mapanka iti sadinoman a kayatmo a papanan.”
5 And come not with me: but dwell with Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan, whom the king of Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Juda: dwell therefore with him in the midst of the people: or whithersoever it shall please thee to go, go. And the general of the army gave him victuals and presents, and let him go.
Idi saan a simmungbat ni Jeremias, kinuna ni Nebuzaradan, “Mapanka kenni Gedalias a putot ni Ahikam a putot ni Safan, a dinutokan ti ari ti Babilonia a mangimaton kadagiti siudad ti Juda. Makipagnaedka kenkuana a kaduam dagiti tattao wenno mapanka iti sadinoman a kayatmo a papanan.” Inikkan isuna ti pangulo dagiti agbanbantay iti ari iti taraon ken sagut, ket pinalubosanna isuna a pumanaw.
6 And Jeremias went to Godolias the son of Ahicam to Masphath: and dwelt with him in the midst of the people that were left in the land.
Napan ngarud ni Jeremias kenni Gedalias a putot ni Ahikam, idiay Mizpa. Nakipagnaed isuna kenkuana a kaduana dagiti tattao a nabati iti daga.
7 And when all the captains of the army that were scattered through the countries, they and their companions, had heard that the king of Babylon had made Godolias the son of Ahicam governor of the country, and that he had committed unto him men and women, and children, and of the poor of the land, them that had not been carried away captive to Babylon:
Ita, dagiti dadduma a mangidadaulo kadagiti suldado a Judio nga adda pay laeng idiay away-isuda ken dagiti tattaoda - ket nadamagda a dinutokan ti ari ti Babilonia ni Gedalias a putot ni Ahikam, nga agbalin a gobernador iti entero a daga. Nadamagda pay a dinutokan ni Nebucadnesar ni Gedalias a mangimaton kadagiti lallaki, babbai, ken ubbing, a kakukurapayan a tattao iti daga, dagidiay saan a naipan a kas balud idiay Babilonia.
8 They came to Godolias to Masphath: and Ismahel the son of Nathanias, and Johanan, and Jonathan, the sons of Caree, and Sareas the son of Thanehumeth, and the children of Ophi, that were of Netophathi, and Jezonias the son of Maachati, they and their men.
Napanda ngarud kenni Gedalias idiay Mizpa. Dagitoy a lallaki ket ni Ismael a putot ni Netanias; ni Johanan ken ni Jonatan, a putot ni Karea; ni Seraias a putot ni Tanhumet; dagiti lallaki a putot ni Efai a taga-Netofa; ken ni Jezanias a taga-Maaca-ken dagiti soldadoda.
9 And Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan swore to them and to their companions, saying: Fear not to serve the Chaldeass: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
Nagsapata ni Gedalias a putot ni Ahikam a putot ni Safan kadakuada ken kadagiti tattaoda, ket kinunana kadakuada, “Saankayo nga agbuteng nga agserbi kadagiti opisial a Caldeo. Agnaedkayo iti daga ket agserbikayo iti ari ti Babilonia ket awanto ti pakaan-anoanyo.
10 Behold I dwell in Masphath, that I may answer the commandment of the Chaldeans that are sent to us: but as for you, gather ye the vintage, and the harvest, and the oil, and lay it up in your vessels, and abide in your cities which you hold.
Ket kitaenyo, agnanaedak idiay Mizpa tapno makisinnarak kadagiti Caldeo nga immay kadatayo. Isu nga agurnongkayo iti arak, bungbunga a maapit iti tiempo ti kalgaw, ken lana ket idulinyo kadagiti pagkargaanyo. Agnaedkayo kadagiti siudad a sinakupyo.”
11 Moreover all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the children of Ammon, and in Edom, and in all the countries, when they heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant in Judea, and that he had made Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan ruler over them:
Ket nadamag dagiti amin a Judio idiay Moab, Ammon, ken Edom, ken iti tunggal daga a pinalubosan iti ari ti Babilonia nga agtalinaed dagiti nabatbati a tattao iti Juda, ket dinutokanna ni Gedalias a putot ni Ahikam a putot ni Safan a mangituray kadakuada.
12 All the Jews, I say, returned out of all the places to which they had fled, and they came into the land of Juda to Godolias to Masphath: and they gathered wine, and a very great harvest.
Isu a nagsubli dagiti Judio manipud kadagiti lugar a nakaiwarawaraanda. Nagsublida iti daga ti Juda, kenni Gedalias idiay Mizpa. Nangurnongda iti nakaad-adu nga arak ken bungbunga iti tiempo ti kalgaw.
13 Then Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the army, that had been scattered about in the countries, came to Godolias to Masphath.
Ni Johanan a putot ni Karea ken dagiti amin a mangidadaulo kadagiti armada idiay away ket napan kenni Gedalias idiay Mizpa.
14 And they said to him: Know that Baalis the king of the children of Ammon hath sent Ismahel the son of Nathanias to kill thee. And Godolias the son of Ahicam believed them not.
Kinunada kenkuana, “Ammom kadi nga imbaon ni Baalis nga ari dagiti tattao ti Ammon ni Ismael a putot ni Nethanias tapno papatayennaka?” Ngem saan a namati ni Gedalias a putot ni Ahikim kadakuada.
15 But Johanan the son of Caree, spoke to Oodolias privately in Masphath, saying: I will go, and I will kill Ismahel the son of Nathanias, and no man shall know it, lest he kill thee, and all the Jews be scattered, that are gathered unto thee, and the remnant of Juda perish.
Isu a ni Johanan a putot ni Karea, kinatungtongna iti nalimed ni Gedalias idiay Mizpa ket kinunana, “Palubosannak a mapan mangpapatay kenni Ismael a putot ni Netanias. Awanto ti mangpanunot a siak ti nangpapatay kenkuana. Apay koma a papatayennaka? Apay a palubosam a mawarawara ti entero a Juda a naguummong kenka ken mapukaw dagiti nabatbati a tattao ti Juda?”
16 And Codolias the son of Ahicam said to Johanan the son of Cares: Do not this thing: for what thou sayst of Ismahel is false.
Ngem kinuna ni Gedalias a putot ni Ahikam kenni Johanan a putot ni Karea, “Saamo nga aramiden daytoy a banag, ta agul-ulbodka maipapan kenni Ismael.”
