Jeremias 47
1 The word that came from the Lord to Jeremias, after that Nabuzardan the captain of the guard had let him go out of Rama, when he had taken him in manacles in the midst of the captivity of Juda, [even] those who were carried to Babylon.
Ga maganar Ubangiji da ta zo wa Irmiya annabi game da Filistiyawa kafin Fir’auna ya yaƙi Gaza.
2 And the chief captain of the guard took him, and said to him, The Lord your God has pronounced all these evils upon this place:
Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, “Dubi yadda ruwaye suna tasowa a arewa; za su zama kogi mai rigyawa. Za su malala a ƙasa da kuma a kan kome da yake cikinta, garuruwa da waɗanda suke zaune a cikinsu. Mutane za su yi kuka; dukan mazaunan ƙasar za su yi kururuwa
3 and the Lord has done it; because you sinned against him, and listened not to his voice.
da jin motsin takawar kofatan dawakai, da jin surutun kekunan yaƙin abokin gāba da motsin ƙafafunsu. Ubanni ba za su juye don su taimaki’ya’yansu ba; hannuwansu za su yi laƙwas.
4 Behold, I have loosed you from the manacles that were upon your hands. If it seem good to you to go with me to Babylon, then will I set mine eyes upon you.
Gama rana ta zo da za a hallaka Filistiyawa a kuma datse dukan waɗanda suka ragu waɗanda za su iya taimakon Taya da Sidon. Ubangiji yana gab da hallaka Filistiyawa, raguwa daga bakin tekun Kaftor.
5 But if not, depart; return to Godolias the son of Achicam, the son of Saphan, whom the king of Babylon has appointed governor in the land of Juda, and dwell with him in the midst of the people in the land of Juda: to whatever places it seems good in your eyes to go, do you even go. And the captain of the guard made him presents, and let him go.
Gaza za tă aske kanta cikin baƙin ciki; Ashkelon zai yi shiru. Ya raguwar da suke zama a fili, har yaushe za ku tsattsage kanku?
6 And he came to Godolias to Massepha, and lived in the midst of his people that was left in the land.
“Za ku yi kuka kuna cewa, ‘Wayyo, takobin Ubangiji sai yaushe za ka huta? Ka koma kubenka; ka huta, ka yi shiru.’
7 And all the leaders of the host that was in the country, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Godolias [governor] in the land, and they committed to him the men and their wives, whom [Nabuchodonosor had] not removed to Babylon.
Amma ta yaya zai huta sa’ad da Ubangiji ya umarta, sa’ad da ya umarta shi don yă faɗa wa Ashkelon da kuma bakin teku?”
8 And there came to Godolias to Massepha Ismael the son of Nathanias, and Joanan son of Caree, and Saraeas the son of Thanaemeth, and the sons of Jophe the Netophathite, and Ezonias son of the Mochathite, they and their men.
9 And Godolias swore to them and to their men, saying, Be not afraid before the children of the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be better for you.
10 And, behold, I dwell in your presence at Massepha, to stand before the Chaldeans who shall come against you: and do you gather grapes, and fruits, and oil, and put [them] into your vessels, and dwell in the cities which you have obtained possession of.
11 And all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the children of Ammon, and those [that were] in Idumea, and those [that were] in all [the rest of] the country, heard that the king of Babylon [had] granted a remnant to Juda, and that he had appointed over them Godolias the son of Achicam.
12 And they came to Godolias into the land of Juda, to Massepha, and gathered grapes, and very much summer fruit, and oil.
13 And Joanan the son of Caree, and all the leaders of the host, who were in the fields, came to Godolias to Massepha,
14 and said to him, Do you indeed know that king Beleissa son of Ammon has sent Ismael to you to kill you? But Godolias believed them not.
15 And Joanan said to Godolias secretly in Massepha, I will go now and strike Ismael, and let no man know [it]; lest he kill you, and all the Jews that are gathered to you be dispersed, and the remnant of Juda perish.
16 But Godolias said to Joanan, Do not the thing, for you speak lies concerning Ismael.
