Jeremiah 38
1 And Shephatiah son of Mattan, and Gedaliah son of Pashhur, and Jucal son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur son of Malchiah, hear the words that Jeremiah is speaking to all the people, saying,
Ṣefatia ọmọ Mattani, Gedaliah ọmọ Paṣuri, Jehukali ọmọ Ṣelemiah, àti Paṣuri ọmọ Malkiah, gbọ́ ohun tí Jeremiah ń sọ fún àwọn ènìyàn nígbà tí ó sọ wí pé,
2 “Thus said YHWH: He who is remaining in this city dies, by sword, by famine, and by pestilence, and he who is going forth to the Chaldeans lives, and his soul has been to him for a prey, and he lives.
“Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: ‘Ẹnikẹ́ni tó bá dúró nínú ìlú yìí yóò kú nípa idà, ìyàn àti àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn; ṣùgbọ́n ẹnikẹ́ni tó bá lọ sí Babeli yóò yè; yóò sá àsálà, yóò sì yè.’
3 Thus said YHWH: This city is certainly given into the hand of the force of the king of Babylon, and he has captured it.”
Àti pé èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: ‘Ìdánilójú wà wí pé a ó fi ìlú náà lé ọwọ́ àwọn ọmọ-ogun ọba Babeli; tí yóò sì kó wa nígbèkùn.’”
4 And the heads say to the king, “Now let this man be put to death, because that he is making feeble the hands of the men of war who are left in this city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking to them according to these words, for this man is not seeking for the peace of this people, but for its calamity.”
Nígbà náà ni àwọn ìjòyè wí fún ọba pé, “Ó yẹ kí a pa ọkùnrin yìí; ó ń kó ìrẹ̀wẹ̀sì bá àwọn ọmọ-ogun tókù nínú ìlú pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn nípa ohun tí ó ń sọ fún wọn. Ọkùnrin yìí kò fẹ́ ìre fún àwọn ènìyàn bí kò ṣe ìparun.”
5 And King Zedekiah says, “Behold, he [is] in your hand: for the king is not able [to do] anything against you.”
Sedekiah ọba sì wí pé, “Ó wà lọ́wọ́ yín. Ọba kò lè ṣe ohunkóhun láti takò yín.”
6 And they take Jeremiah, and cast him into the pit of Malchiah son of the king, that [is] in the court of the prison, and they send Jeremiah down with cords; and there is no water in the pit, but mire, and Jeremiah sinks in the mire.
Wọ́n gbé Jeremiah sọ sínú ihò Malkiah, ọmọ ọba, tí ó wà ní àgbàlá ilé túbú; wọ́n fi okùn sọ Jeremiah kalẹ̀ sí ìsàlẹ̀ ihò; kò sì ṣí omi nínú ihò náà bí kò ṣe ẹrọ̀fọ̀, Jeremiah sì rì sínú ẹrọ̀fọ̀ náà.
7 And Ebed-Melech the Cushite, a eunuch who [is] in the king’s house, hears that they have put Jeremiah into the pit; and the king is sitting at the Gate of Benjamin,
Ṣùgbọ́n, Ebedimeleki, ará Kuṣi ìjòyè nínú ààfin ọba gbọ́ pé wọ́n ti ju Jeremiah sínú kànga. Nígbà tí ọba jókòó ní ẹnu-bodè Benjamini.
8 and Ebed-Melech goes forth from the king’s house, and speaks to the king, saying,
Ebedimeleki jáde kúrò láàfin ọba, ó sì sọ fún un pé,
9 “My lord, O king, these men have done evil [in] all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the pit, and he dies in his place because of the famine, for there is no more bread in the city.”
“Olúwa mi ọba, àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí ti ṣe ohun búburú sí Jeremiah wòlíì Ọlọ́run. Wọ́n ti gbé e sọ sínú kànga níbi tí kò sí oúnjẹ kankan nínú ìlú mọ́.”
10 And the king commands Ebed-Melech the Cushite, saying, “Take with you thirty men from here, and you have brought up Jeremiah the prophet from the pit, before he dies.”
Nígbà náà ni ọba pàṣẹ fún Ebedimeleki ará Kuṣi pé, “Mú ọgbọ̀n ọkùnrin láti ibí pẹ̀lú rẹ, kí ẹ sì fa wòlíì Jeremiah sókè láti inú ihò, kí ó tó kú.”
11 And Ebed-Melech takes the men with him, and enters the house of the king, to the place of the treasury, and takes there worn-out shreds of cloth, and worn-out rags, and sends them by cords into the pit to Jeremiah.
Ebedimeleki kó àwọn ọkùnrin náà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, wọ́n lọ sínú yàrá kan nínú ààfin ọba. Ó mú àwọn aṣọ àkísà àti okùn tọ Jeremiah lọ nínú kànga.
12 And Ebed-Melech the Cushite says to Jeremiah, “Now put the worn-out pieces of cloth and rags under your arms, at the place of the cords,” and Jeremiah does so,
Ebedimeleki ará Kuṣi sọ fún Jeremiah pé, “Fi àkísà àti okùn bọ abẹ́ abíyá rẹ, Jeremiah sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀.”
13 and they draw Jeremiah out with cords, and bring him up out of the pit, and Jeremiah dwells in the court of the prison.
Báyìí ni wọ́n ṣe fi okùn yọ Jeremiah jáde, wọ́n sì mu un gòkè láti inú ihò wá, Jeremiah sì wà ní àgbàlá ilé túbú.
14 And King Zedekiah sends, and takes Jeremiah the prophet to him, to the third entrance that [is] in the house of YHWH, and the king says to Jeremiah, “I am asking you something, do not hide anything from me.”
Nígbà náà ni ọba Sedekiah ránṣẹ́ pe, Jeremiah òjíṣẹ́ Ọlọ́run àti láti mú un wá sí ẹnu ibodè kẹta nílé Olúwa. Ọba sì sọ fún Jeremiah pé, “Èmi yóò bi ọ́ ní ohun kan; má sì ṣe fi ohun kan pamọ́ fún mi.”
15 And Jeremiah says to Zedekiah, “When I declare [it] to you, do you not surely put me to death? And when I counsel you, you do not listen to me.”
Jeremiah sì sọ fún Sedekiah pé, “Tí mo bá fún ọ ní èsì, ṣé o kò nípa mí? Tí mo bá gbà ọ́ nímọ̀ràn, o kò ní gbọ́ tèmi.”
16 And King Zedekiah swears to Jeremiah in secret, saying, “YHWH lives, He who made this soul for us, I do not put you to death, nor give you into the hand of these men who are seeking your soul.”
Ṣùgbọ́n ọba Sedekiah búra ní ìkọ̀kọ̀ fún Jeremiah wí pé, “Dájúdájú bí Olúwa ti ń bẹ, ẹni tí ó fún wa ní ẹ̀mí, èmi kò nípa ọ́ tàbí fà ọ́ fún àwọn tó ń lépa ẹ̀mí rẹ.”
17 And Jeremiah says to Zedekiah, “Thus said YHWH, God of Hosts, God of Israel: If you certainly go forth to the heads of the king of Babylon, then your soul has lived, and this city is not burned with fire, indeed, you have lived, you and your house.
Nígbà náà ni Jeremiah sọ fún Sedekiah pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run alágbára, Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí: ‘Àyàfi bí o bá jọ̀wọ́ ara rẹ fún àwọn olóyè ọba Babeli, a ó dá ẹ̀mí rẹ sí àti pé ìlú yìí kò ní di jíjó ní iná; ìwọ àti ilé rẹ yóò sì wà láààyè.
18 And if you do not go forth to the heads of the king of Babylon, then this city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they have burned it with fire, and you do not escape from their hand.”
Ṣùgbọ́n tí o kò bá jọ̀wọ́ ara rẹ fún àwọn ìjòyè ọba Babeli, a ó fa ìlú yìí lé ọwọ́ àwọn Babeli. Wọn yóò sì fi iná sun ún, ìwọ gan an kò ní le sá mọ́ wọn lọ́wọ́.’”
19 And King Zedekiah says to Jeremiah, “I am fearing the Jews who have fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they give me into their hand, and they have insulted me.”
Ọba Sedekiah sọ fún Jeremiah pé, “Mò ń bẹ̀rù àwọn Júù tó ti sálọ sí ilẹ̀ Babeli, nítorí pé àwọn ará Babeli lè fà mí lé wọn lọ́wọ́ láti fìyà jẹ mí.”
20 And Jeremiah says, “They do not give you up; please listen to the voice of YHWH, to that which I am speaking to you, and it is well for you, and your soul lives.
Jeremiah sì dáhùn wí pé, “Wọn kò ní fi ọ́ lé e lọ́wọ́. Pa ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa mọ́ nípa ṣíṣe ohun tí mo sọ fún ọ; yóò sì dára fún ọ, ẹ̀mí rẹ yóò sì wà.
21 And if you are refusing to go forth, this [is] the thing that YHWH has shown me:
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ìwọ bá kọ̀ láti jọ̀wọ́ ara rẹ, èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa ti fihàn mí.
22 That, behold, all the women who have been left in the house of the king of Judah are brought forth to the heads of the king of Babylon, and behold, they are saying: Persuaded you, and prevailed against you, Have your allies, Your feet have sunk into mire, They have been turned backward.
Gbogbo àwọn obìnrin tókù ní ààfin ọba Juda ni wọn yóò kó jáde fún àwọn ìjòyè ọba Babeli. Àwọn obìnrin náà yóò sì sọ fún ọ pé: “‘Àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ tàn ọ́ jẹ, wọ́n sì borí rẹ. Ẹsẹ̀ rẹ rì sínú ẹrọ̀fọ̀; àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ ti fi ọ́ sílẹ̀.’
23 And all your wives and your sons are brought forth to the Chaldeans, and you do not escape from their hand, for you are caught by the hand of the king of Babylon, and this city is burned with fire.”
“Wọn yóò kó àwọn ìyàwó àti ọmọ rẹ wá sí Babeli. Ìwọ gan an kò ní bọ́ níbẹ̀, ọba Babeli yóò mú ọ, wọn yóò sì jó ìlú yìí kanlẹ̀.”
24 And Zedekiah says to Jeremiah, “Let no man know of these words, and you do not die;
Nígbà náà ni Sedekiah sọ fún Jeremiah pé, “Má ṣe jẹ́ kí ẹnikẹ́ni mọ̀ nípa ọ̀rọ̀ yìí, tàbí kí o kú.
25 and when the heads hear that I have spoken with you, and they have come to you, and have said to you, Now declare to us what you spoke to the king, do not hide [it] from us, and we do not put you to death, and what the king spoke to you,
Tí àwọn ìjòyè bá mọ̀ pé mo bá ọ sọ̀rọ̀, tí wọ́n bá wá bá ọ wí pé, ‘Sọ fún wa ohun tí o bá ọba sọ tàbí ohun tí ọba sọ fún ọ; má ṣe fi pamọ́ fún wa tàbí kí a pa ọ́,’
26 then you have said to them, I am causing my supplication to fall before the king, not to cause me to return to the house of Jonathan, to die there.”
nígbà náà kí o sọ fún wọn, ‘Mò ń bẹ ọba láti má jẹ́ kí n padà lọ sí ilé Jonatani láti lọ kú síbẹ̀.’”
27 And all the heads come to Jeremiah, and ask him, and he declares to them according to all these words that the king commanded, and they keep silent from him, for the matter was not heard;
Gbogbo àwọn olóyè sì wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ Jeremiah láti bi í léèrè, ó sì sọ gbogbo ohun tí ọba ní kí ó sọ. Wọn kò sì sọ ohunkóhun mọ́, nítorí kò sí ẹni tí ó gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ tí òun àti ọba jọ sọ.
28 and Jeremiah dwells in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem has been captured, and he was [there] when Jerusalem was captured.
Jeremiah wà nínú àgbàlá àwọn ẹ̀ṣọ́ títí di ọjọ́ tí wọ́n fi kó Jerusalẹmu:
