Jeremiah 38
1 And Shephatyah the son of Matthan, and Gedalyahu the son of Pashchur, and Juchal the son of Shelemyahu, and Pashchur the son of Malkiyah, heard the words that Jeremiah was speaking unto 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 hath said the Lord, He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; and he shall have his life as a booty, and 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 hath said the Lord, This city shall surely be given up into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he shall capture it.
Kastoy ti ibagbaga ni Yahweh: Maipaimanto daytoy a siudad iti armada ti ari ti Babilonia, ket parmekennanto daytoy.”
4 Thereupon said the princes unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death; for the cause that he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that are yet left in this city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking such words unto them; for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but their 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 Then said king Zedekiah, Behold, he is in your hand; for the king is not able to do any thing 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 did they take Jeremiah, and cast him into the pit of Malkiyahu the son of the king, that was in the court of the prison: and they let Jeremiah down with cords; but in the pit there was no water, but mire; so that Jeremiah sunk into 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 Cushi, a eunuch who was in the king's house, heard that they had placed Jeremiah into the pit; while the king was 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, O king, these men have done wrong in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the pit; and he would have had to die [as it is] in the place where he was for hunger; 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 The king then commanded 'Ebed-melech the Cushi, saying, Take with thee from here thirty men, and bring up Jeremiah the prophet out of the pit, before he die.
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 thence cast-off clothes and old rags, and let them down into the pit to Jeremiah by cords.
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 Cushi said unto Jeremiah, Put, I pray, these cast-off clothes and old rags under thy arm-pits beneath 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 cords, and brought him up out of the pit: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
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 sent king Zedekiah, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry that was in the house of the Lord; and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee something: conceal 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 said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, If I should tell it unto thee, behold, thou wilt surely put me to death; and if I should give thee counsel, thou wilt not hearken unto me.
Kinuna ni Jeremias kenni Zedekias, “No sungbatanka, saan kadi a papatayennakto met laeng? Ken no balakadanka, saannak a denggen.”
16 So king Zedekiah swore unto Jeremiah secretly, saying, As the Lord liveth, who hath made for us this soul, I will not put thee to death, nor will I give thee up into the hand of these men that 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 said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus hath said the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, If thou wilt indeed go forth unto the princes of the king of Babylon, then shall thy soul live, and this city shall not be burnt with fire; and thou shalt live, thou with thy household;
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 wilt not go forth to the princes of the king of Babylon, then shall this city be given up into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou thyself shalt 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 Then said king Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, I am in dread of the Jews that have run away to the Chaldeans, lest these deliver me into their hand, and they might ill-use 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 will not give [thee] up. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of the Lord, in that which I speak unto thee; so it shall be well unto 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 the Lord hath shown me:
Ngem no agkedkedka a rummuar, daytoy ti impakita ni Yahweh kaniak:
22 And behold, all the women that are left in the house of the king of Judah shall be led forth to the princes of the king of Babylon; and these women shall say, “They have enticed, and have overpersuaded thee—thy men that should have sought thy welfare; thy feet are [now] sunk in the mire, and they have withdrawn themselves backward.”
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 all thy wives and thy children shall they bring out to the Chaldeans; and thou thyself shalt not escape out of their hand; for by the hand of the king of Babylon shalt thou be caught; and this city wilt thou cause to be burnt 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 said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, that thou mayest not die.
Ket kinuna ni Zedekias kenni Jeremias, “Saanmo nga ibagbaga iti siasinoman ti maipanggep kadagitoy a sasao, tapno saanka a matay.
25 And if the princes should hear that I have spoken with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee, tell us, we pray thee, what thou hast spoken unto the king, conceal it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; also what the king hath spoken unto 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 shalt thou say unto them, I presented my humble supplication before the king, that he would not send me back to the house of Jonathan, to die there.
ket nasken nga ibagam kadakuada, 'Nagpakpakaasiak iti ari a saannak nga isubli iti balay ni Jonatan a matay sadiay.'”
27 And all the princes came unto Jeremiah, and asked him: and he told them in accordance with all these words that the king had commanded. And they turned away silent from him; for the matter had not been made public.
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 And Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem was taken. And it came to pass when Jerusalem was captured,
Nagtalinaed ngarud ni Jeremias iti paraangan a pagbanbantayan agingga iti aldaw a nasakupen ti Jerusalem.
