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;
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 in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city).
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him in 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 The Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon commanded Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard concerning Jeremiah, 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 look well to him, and do him no harm; but do to him even as he shall tell you."
“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 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;
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 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.
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 Now the word of YHWH came to Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Selemaia, ʻi heʻene kei moʻua he lotoʻā ʻoe fale fakapōpula, ʻo pehē,
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.
“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 you in that day, says YHWH; and you shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.
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 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."
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.”
