Jeremiah 39
1 In the ninth year of Zedekiah the king of Judah, in the tenth month, that Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it.
ʻI hono hiva ʻoe taʻu ʻo Setikia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe māhina, naʻe haʻu ʻa Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone mo ʻene kautau kotoa pē ki Selūsalema, ʻonau kāpui ia.
2 [And] in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, was the city broken in.
Pea naʻe lavaʻi ʻae kolo, ʻi hono hongofulu ma taha ʻoe taʻu ʻo Setikia, ʻi hono fā ʻoe māhina, pea mo hono hiva ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina.
3 And then came all the princes of the king of Babylon, and sat down in the middle gate; [namely, ] Neregal-sharezer, Samgar-nebu, Sarsechim, the chief of the eunuchs, Neregal-sharezer, the chief of the magi, with all the residue of the princes of the king of Babylon.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae houʻeiki kotoa pē ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ʻo nofo ki he matapā ʻi loto, ko Nekalisalesa, mo Samikanipo, mo Sasekimi, mo Lapasalisi, mo Nekalisalesa, mo Lapamaki, mo hono toe kotoa pē ʻoe houʻeiki ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Papilone.
4 And it came to pass when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, that they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, by the gate between the two walls: and he went out by the way of the plain.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he mamata kiate kinautolu ʻa Setikia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, mo e kau tau kotoa pē, naʻa nau hola, pea ʻalu mei he kolo ʻi he poʻuli, ʻi he hala ʻoe ngoue ʻae tuʻi, ʻi he matapā ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ongo ʻā: pea naʻe ʻalu atu ia ʻi he hala ʻoe toafa.
5 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them, and they overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and they took him, and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Chamath: and he called him to account.
Ka naʻe tuli ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau tau ʻae kau Kalitia, pea maʻu ʻa Setikia ʻi he toafa ʻo Seliko: pea kuo nau maʻu ia, naʻa nau ʻomi ia kia Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone ki Lipila ki he fonua ko Hamati, pea ne fakamaau ia ʻi ai.
6 And the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes; also all the nobles of Judah did the king of Babylon slaughter.
Pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻi Lipila ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Setikia ʻi hono ʻao: pea tāmateʻi foki ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻae ngaahi houʻeiki kotoa pē ʻo Siuta.
7 And the eyes of Zedekiah did he blind; and he bound him with brazen fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
Pea naʻe kapeʻi ʻae mata ʻo Setikia, pea haʻisia ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi maea ukamea fihifihi, ke ʻave ia ki Papilone.
8 And the house of the king, and the houses of the people did the Chaldeans burn with fire, and the walls of Jerusalem did they pull down.
Pea naʻe tutu ʻaki ʻae afi ʻe he kau Kalitia ʻae fale ʻoe tuʻi, pea mo e ngaahi fale ʻoe kakai, pea laku hifo ʻae ngaahi ʻā ʻo Selūsalema.
9 And the rest of the people that remained in the city, and those who had run away that had run away to him, with the rest of the people that remained, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry off into exile to Babylon.
Pea naʻe ʻave fakapōpula ki Papilone ʻe Nepusaatani ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo, ʻae toenga kakai naʻe toe ʻi he kolo, pea ko kinautolu kuo ʻalu ange kiate ia, ʻio, ko e toenga kakai ʻokinautolu naʻe toe.
10 But of the poorest of the people, who had nothing, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard leave some in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and arable fields at the same time.
Ka naʻe tuku ʻe Nepusaatani ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo ʻae kakai masiva, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai haʻanau meʻa ʻi he fonua ko Siuta, pea ne foaki kiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae ngaahi ngoue vaine, pea mo e ngaahi ngoue.
11 And Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah through means of Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying,
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, kia Nepusaatani ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo koeʻuhi ko Selemaia, ʻo pehē,
12 Take him, and direct thy eyes to him, and do him not the least harm; but as he may speak unto thee, even so do thou with him.
“ʻAve ia, pea fai lelei kiate ia, pea ʻoua naʻa fai kovi kiate ia; ka ke fai kiate ia ʻo hangē ko ʻene lea kiate koe.”
13 Then sent Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, and Nebushazban, the chief of the eunuchs, and Neregal-sharezer, the chief of the magi, and all the chiefs of the king of Babylon, —
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Nepusaatani ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo, pea mo Nepusasipani, mo Lapasalisi, mo Nekalisalesa, mo Lapamaki, pea mo e houʻeiki kotoa pē ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone;
14 Even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and they committed him unto Gedalyahu the son of Achikam the son of Shaphan, to carry him home: and he remained in the midst of the people.
Pea naʻa nau fekau ke ʻomi ʻa Selemaia mei he lotoʻā ʻoe fale fakapōpula, pea nau tuku ia kia Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami ko e foha ʻo Safani, ke taki ia ki hono ʻapi: pea nau nofo mo e kakai.
15 But unto Jeremiah was come the word of the Lord while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying,
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Selemaia, ʻi heʻene kei moʻua he lotoʻā ʻoe fale fakapōpula, ʻo pehē,
16 Go and say to 'Ebed-melech the Cushi as followeth, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring my words [to fulfillment] against this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished before thee on that day.
“ʻAlu ʻo lea kia ʻIpetemeleki ko e ʻItiopea, ʻo pehē, ʻOku pehē mai ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; Vakai, te u fakahoko ʻeku ngaahi lea ke kovi ai ʻae kolo ni, ka e ʻikai ke lelei; pea ʻe fakamoʻoni ia ʻi ho ʻao ʻi he ʻaho ko ia.
17 But I will deliver thee on that day, saith the Lord; and thou shalt not be given up into the hand of the men of whom thou hast dread.
Ka ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, Te u fakamoʻui koe ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: pea ʻe ʻikai tukuange koe ki he nima ʻoe kau tangata ʻoku ke manavahē ki ai.
18 For I will surely let thee escape, and thou shalt not fall by the sword; but thy life shall be unto thee as a booty; because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the Lord.
He ko e moʻoni te u fakamoʻui koe, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke tō ʻi he heletā, ka te ke maʻu hoʻo moʻui kiate koe ʻo hangē ko e koloa kuo vetea: koeʻuhi kuo ke falala kiate au, ʻoku pehē mai ʻa Sihova.”
