Jeremiah 39
1 In the year ninth of Zedekiah [the] king of Judah in the month tenth he came Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon and all army his to Jerusalem and they laid siege on it.
Mwaka-inĩ wa kenda wa wathani wa Zedekia mũthamaki wa Juda, mweri-inĩ wa ikũmi, Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni nĩathiire gũtharĩkĩra itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu arĩ na mbũtũ ciake ciothe cia ita, akĩrĩrigiicĩria arĩtunyane.
2 In one [plus] ten year of Zedekiah in the month fourth on [day] nine of the month it was broken into the city.
Ningĩ mũthenya wa kenda wa mweri wa ĩna wa mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ũmwe wa wathani wa Zedekia, nĩguo rũthingo rwa itũũra rĩu inene rwatũrĩkirio.
3 And they came all [the] officials of [the] king of Babylon and they sat in [the] gate of the middle Nergal-Shar-ezer Samgar Nebu Sar-sekim [the] Rab-saris Nergal-Shar-ezer [the] Rab-mag and all [the] rest of [the] officials of [the] king of Babylon.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo anene othe a mũthamaki wa Babuloni magĩtoonya na magĩikara Kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa Gatagatĩ: Nao nĩ Nerigali-Sharezeru wa Samugari, na Nebo-Sarisekimu mũtongoria ũmwe mũnene, na Nerigali-Sharezeru ũrĩa warĩ mũnene wathani-inĩ, marĩ hamwe na anene arĩa angĩ othe a mũthamaki wa Babuloni.
4 And it was just when he saw them Zedekiah [the] king of Judah and all - [the] men of war and they fled and they went out night from the city [the] way of [the] garden of the king in a gate between the two walls and he went out [the] way of the Arabah.
Rĩrĩa Zedekia mũthamaki wa Juda na thigari ciothe maamonire, makĩũra; makiuma itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene ũtukũ magerete njĩra ya mũgũnda-inĩ wa mũthamaki, kĩhingo-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩarĩ gatagatĩ ga thingo cierĩ, magĩthiĩ merekeire Araba.
5 And they pursued [the] army of [the] Chaldeans after them and they overtook Zedekiah in [the] plains of Jericho and they seized him and they brought up him to Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon Riblah towards in [the] land of Hamath and he spoke with him judgments.
No nayo mbũtũ ya andũ a Babuloni ĩkĩmatengʼeria, ĩgĩkorerera Zedekia werũ-inĩ ũrĩa mwaraganu wa Jeriko. Makĩmũnyiita, makĩmũtwarĩra Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni arĩ kũu Ribila bũrũri-inĩ wa Hamathu, na kũu nĩkuo aamũtuĩrĩire ciira.
6 And he slaughtered [the] king of Babylon [the] sons of Zedekiah at Riblah to eyes his and all [the] nobles of Judah he slaughtered [the] king of Babylon.
Kũu Ribila nokuo mũthamaki wa Babuloni oragithĩirie ariũ a Zedekia, maitho-inĩ make, na akĩũragithia andũ othe arĩa maarĩ igweta kũu Juda.
7 And [the] eyes of Zedekiah he made blind and he bound him with bronze fetters to take him Babylon towards.
Agĩcooka agĩkũũrithia Zedekia maitho na akĩmuoha na bĩngũ cia gĩcango nĩguo atwarwo Babuloni.
8 And [the] house of the king and [the] house of the people they burned the Chaldeans with fire and [the] walls of Jerusalem they broke down.
Andũ acio a Babuloni magĩcina nyũmba ya ũthamaki, o na nyũmba cia andũ arĩa angĩ, na makĩmomora thingo cia Jerusalemu.
9 And [the] rest of the people who remained in the city and those [who] had fallen who they had fallen on him and [the] rest of the people who remained he took into exile Nebuzar-adan [the] chief of [the] bodyguards Babylon.
Nebuzaradani, mũnene wa arangĩri a mũthamaki, agĩtaha andũ arĩa maatigaire kũu itũũra-inĩ thĩinĩ, akĩmatwara Babuloni marĩ hamwe na arĩa meneanĩte kũrĩ we o na andũ acio angĩ othe.
10 And some of the people poor who not [belonged] to them anything he left Nebuzaradan [the] chief of [the] bodyguards in [the] land of Judah and he gave to them vineyards and fields on the day that.
No rĩrĩ, Nebuzaradani ũcio mũnene wa arangĩri a mũthamaki, nĩatigirie andũ amwe arĩa maarĩ athĩĩni kũu bũrũri wa Juda, arĩa mataarĩ na kĩndũ kĩao; no hĩndĩ ĩyo akĩmahe mĩgũnda ya mĩthabibũ na mĩgũnda ya kũrĩma.
11 And he commanded Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon on Jeremiah by [the] hand of Nebuzaradan [the] chief of [the] bodyguards saying.
Na rĩrĩ, Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni nĩarutĩte watho ũkoniĩ Jeremia, akeera Nebuzaradani ũcio mũnene wa arangĩri a mũthamaki atĩrĩ:
12 Take him and eyes your set on him and may not you do to him anything harmful that (*Q(K)*) just as he will say to you so do with him.
“Muoe ũmũmenyerere; ndũkamwĩke ũũru, no ũmũhingagĩrie ũndũ o wothe ũrĩa angĩkũũria.”
13 And he sent Nebuzaradan [the] chief of [the] bodyguards and Nebushazban [the] Rab-saris and Nergal-Shar-ezer [the] Rab-mag and all [the] chiefs of [the] king of Babylon.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Nebuzaradani ũcio mũnene wa arangĩri, na Nebushazibani mũtongoria ũmwe mũnene na Nerigali-Sharezeru ũrĩa warĩ mũnene wathani-inĩ, o na anene acio angĩ othe a mũthamaki wa Babuloni
14 And they sent and they fetched Jeremiah from [the] courtyard of the guard and they gave over him to Gedaliah [the] son of Ahikam [the] son of Shaphan to take out him to the house and he remained in among the people.
magĩtũmana, makiuga Jeremia arutwo kũu thĩinĩ wa nja ĩrĩa ya arangĩri. Nao makĩmũneana harĩ Gedalia mũrũ wa Ahikamu, mũrũ wa Shafani, nĩguo amũinũkie gwake mũciĩ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtũũrania na andũ arĩa angĩ ao.
15 And to Jeremiah it had come [the] word of Yahweh when was he shut up in [the] courtyard of the guard saying.
Rĩrĩa Jeremia aatũũrĩte oheetwo kũu thĩinĩ wa nja ĩrĩa ya arangĩri-rĩ, ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyamũkinyĩrĩire akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
16 Go and you will say to Ebed Melech the Cushite saying thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel here I ([am] about to bring *Q(k)*) words my against the city this for harm and not for good and they will happen before you on the day that.
“Thiĩ ũkeere Ebedi-Meleku ũrĩa Mũkushi atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ: Ndĩ hakuhĩ kũhingia ũrĩa ndoigire atĩ nĩngarehere itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene mwanangĩko, no ti ũgaacĩru. Hĩndĩ ĩyo, maũndũ macio nĩmakahingio ũkĩmeyonagĩra na maitho.
17 And I will deliver you on the day that [the] utterance of Yahweh and not you will be given in [the] hand of the people whom you [are] fearful of them.
No rĩrĩ, wee nĩngakũhonokia mũthenya ũcio, ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga; wee ndũkaneanwo kũrĩ andũ acio wĩtigĩraga.
18 For certainly I will rescue you and by the sword not you will fall and it will belong to you life your to plunder for you trusted in me [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Niĩ nĩngakũhonokia; wee ndũkooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora no nĩũkahonokia muoyo waku, tondũ nĩ niĩ ũtũũrĩte wĩhokete, ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.’”
