Jeremiah 38
1 And Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchijah, heard the words that Jeremiah spake 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 saith the LORD, He that abideth 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 his life shall be unto him for a prey, and he 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 saith the LORD, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it.
Kastoy ti ibagbaga ni Yahweh: Maipaimanto daytoy a siudad iti armada ti ari ti Babilonia, ket parmekennanto daytoy.”
4 Then the princes said unto the king, Let this man, we pray thee, be put to death; forasmuch as he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the 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 And Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand: for the king is not he that can 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 took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchijah the king’s son, that was in the court of the guard: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire: and Jeremiah sank in 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 Ethiopian, an eunuch, which was in the king’s house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon; the king then 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 spake to the king, saying,
Isu a napan ni Ebed Melec manipud iti balay ti ari ket nakisao iti ari. Kinunana,
9 My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is like to die in the place where he is because of the famine: 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 Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, 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 old cast clouts and old rotten rags, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.
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 Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, Put now these old cast clouts and rotten rags under thine armholes under 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 the cords, and took him up out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
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 Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry that is in the house of the LORD: and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing; hide 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 Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I declare it unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death? and if I 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 Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As the LORD liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee 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 saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: If thou wilt go forth unto the king of Babylon’s princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, and thine house:
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 king of Babylon’s princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou 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 And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews that are fallen away to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock 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 shall not deliver thee. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of the LORD, in that which I speak unto thee: so it shall be well with 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 shewed me:
Ngem no agkedkedka a rummuar, daytoy ti impakita ni Yahweh kaniak:
22 behold, all the women that are left in the king of Judah’s house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon’s princes, and those women shall say, Thy familiar friends have set thee on, and have prevailed over thee: [now that] thy feet are sunk in the mire: they are turned away back.
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 they shall bring out all thy wives and thy children to the Chaldeans: and thou shalt not escape out of their hand, but shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and thou shalt cause this city to be burned 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, and thou shalt not die.
Ket kinuna ni Zedekias kenni Jeremias, “Saanmo nga ibagbaga iti siasinoman ti maipanggep kadagitoy a sasao, tapno saanka a matay.
25 But if the princes hear that I have talked with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee, Declare unto us now what thou hast said unto the king; hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death: also what the king said 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 thou shalt say unto them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan’s house, to die there.
ket nasken nga ibagam kadakuada, 'Nagpakpakaasiak iti ari a saannak nga isubli iti balay ni Jonatan a matay sadiay.'”
27 Then came all the princes unto Jeremiah, and asked him: and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they left off speaking with him; for the matter was not perceived.
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 So Jeremiah abode in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was taken. And it came to pass when Jerusalem was taken,
Nagtalinaed ngarud ni Jeremias iti paraangan a pagbanbantayan agingga iti aldaw a nasakupen ti Jerusalem.
