Jeremiah 39
1 It happened when Jerusalem was taken, (in the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and besieged it;
Mu mwaka ogwomwenda ogw’obufuzi kwa Zeddekiya kabaka wa Yuda, mu mwezi ogw’ekkumi, Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni, n’alumba Yerusaalemi, n’eggye lye lyonna, n’akizingiza.
2 in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city).
Ku lunaku olw’omwenda olw’omwezi ogwokuna ogw’omwaka ogw’ekkumi n’ogumu ogw’obufuzi kwa Zeddekiya, ekisenge ky’ekibuga kyabotolwa.
3 Then all the officials of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the Middle Gate, Nergal-sar-ezer of Samgar, Nebu-sar-sekim the Rab-saris, Nergal-sar-ezer the Rab-mag, with all the rest of the officers of the king of Babylon.
Awo Nerugalusalezeeri, ne Samugaluneebo, ne Salusekimu, ne Labusalisi, ne Nerugalusalezeeri, ne Labumagi, n’abakungu abalala bonna aba kabaka w’e Babulooni ne bajja ne batuula mu mulyango ogwa wakati ogwa Yerusaalemi.
4 It happened that, when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, through the gate between the two walls; and he went out toward the Arabah.
Awo Zeddekiya kabaka wa Yuda n’abaserikale be bonna bwe babalaba ne bava mu kibuga kiro ne badduka; ne bayita mu nnimiro ya kabaka, nga bayita mu mulyango wakati w’ebisenge ebibiri, ne boolekera Alaba.
5 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment on him.
Naye eggye ly’Abakaludaaya ne libagoba ne lisanga Zeddekiya mu nsenyi ez’e Yeriko, ne bamuwamba, ne bamuleeta eri kabaka Nebukadduneeza ow’e Babulooni e Libuna mu nsi y’e Kamasi; n’amusalira eyo omusango.
6 Then the king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon killed all the nobles of Judah.
Kabaka w’e Babulooni n’attira batabani ba Zeddekiya mu maaso ga kitaabwe e Libuna, era kabaka w’e Babulooni n’atta abakungu ba Yuda bonna.
7 Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
Nebukadduneeza n’aggyamu Zeddekiya amaaso, n’amusiba mu masamba n’amutwala e Babulooni.
8 The Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
Abakaludaaya ne bookya ennyumba ya kabaka n’ennyumba z’abantu, ne bamenya n’ebisenge bya Yerusaalemi.
9 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the residue of the people who remained in the city, the deserters also who fell away to him, and the residue of the people who remained.
Awo Nebuzaladaani omuduumizi w’eggye n’atwala abantu abaali basigaddewo mu kibuga, n’abo abaali bamwegasseeko, n’abo abaali basigaddewo mu bifo ebirala, e Babulooni.
10 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
Nebuzaladaani omuduumizi w’eggye, n’aleka abamu ku bantu abaavu abaali batalina kantu, mu nsi ya Yuda; n’abawa ebibanja n’ennimiro z’emizabbibu.
11 Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon commanded Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard concerning Jeremiah, saying,
Awo Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni yali awadde Nebuzaladaani omuduumizi w’eggye lya kabaka w’e Babulooni, ebiragiro bino ebikwata ku Yeremiya ng’amugamba nti,
12 "Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do to him even as he shall tell you."
“Mmutwale omulabirire: tomubonyaabonya wabula mukolere byonna by’ayagala.”
13 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushazban the Rab-saris, Nergal-sar-ezer the Rab-mag and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon;
Awo Nebuzaladaani omuduumizi w’eggye, ne Nebusazibaani omukungu ow’oku ntikko ne Nerugalusalezeeri, ne Labumagi, n’abakungu bonna aba kabaka w’e Babulooni,
14 they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he lived among the people.
ne batumya ne baggya Yeremiya mu luggya lw’abaserikale. Ne bamukwasa Gedaliya mutabani wa Akikamu, mutabani wa Safani, amuzzeeyo ewaabwe. Olwo n’asigala n’abantu be.
15 Now the word of YHWH came to Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
Yeremiya bwe yali asibiddwa mu luggya lw’abaserikale abakuumi, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kimujjira nga kigamba nti,
16 "Go, and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, 'Thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel: "Look, I will bring my words on this city for disaster, and not for prosperity; and they shall be fulfilled before you in that day.
“Genda ogambe Ebedumeleki Omuwesiyopya nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, Nnaatera okutuukiriza ebigambo byange eri ekibuga kino nga nkozesa ebibonoobono, si kukulaakulana. Mu biseera ebyo birituukirizibwa nga mulaba n’amaaso gammwe.
17 But I will deliver you in that day, says YHWH; and you shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.
Naye ndikuwonya ku lunaku olwo,’ bw’ayogera Mukama; ‘toliweebwayo eri abo b’otya.
18 For I will surely save you, and you shall not fall by the sword, but your life will be given to you as a reward; because you have put your trust in me,"' says YHWH."
Ndikuwonya; tolittibwa, olisigala ng’oli mulamu, kubanga onneesiga, bw’ayogera Mukama.’”
