Jeremiah 40
1 The word which it came to Jeremiah from with Yahweh after - set free him Nebuzaradan [the] chief of [the] bodyguards from Ramah when took he him and he [was] bound with chains in among all [the] exile[s] of Jerusalem and Judah who were being taken into exile Babylon towards.
Hili lilikuwa neno ambalo lilikuja kwa Yeremia toka kwa Yahwe baada ya Nebuzaradni, amri wa walinzi wa mfalme, amemtuma mbali kutoka Ramah. Huko ndiko Yeremia alikuwa amechukuliwa, na huko alikuwa amefungwa kwa minyororo. Alikuwa miongoni mwa mateka wote ya Yerusalem na Yuda ambayo walipaswa kuwa matekani Babeli.
2 And he took [the] chief of [the] bodyguards Jeremiah and he said to him Yahweh God your he spoke the harm this against the place this.
Mlinzi mkuu alimchukua Yeremia na kusema kwake, “Yahwe Mungu wako aliamrisha maafa haya dhidi ya eneo hili.
3 And he has brought [it] and he has done Yahweh just as he said for you sinned to Yahweh and not you listened to voice his and it has happened to you (the thing *Q(K)*) this.
Basi Yahwe alileta. Alifanya kama alivyoamrisha, kwani ninyi watu mmefanya dhambi dhidi yake na hamkutii sauti yake. Hii ni sababu ya jambo hili limetokea kwenu. Lakini sasa tazama!
4 And now here! I have set free you this day from the chains which [are] on hand your if it is good in view your to come with me Babylon come so I may set eye my on you and if [is] displeasing in view your to come with me Babylon refrain see all the land [is] before you to [the place] good and to the [place] right in view your to go there towards go.
Nimekuacha huru leo toka kwenye minyororo iliyokuwa kwenye mikono yako. Kama ni vizuri katika macho yako kuja nami Babeli, njoo, na nitakujali. Lakini kama si vizuri katika macho yako kuja pamoja nami, basi usifanye hivyo. Tazama nchi yote mbele yako. Nenda ambapo ni pazuri na sawa katika macho yako kwenda.”
5 And still he not he will return and return! to Gedaliah [the] son of Ahikam [the] son of Shaphan whom he has appointed [the] king of Babylon over [the] cities of Judah and remain with him in among the people or to any [place] right in view your to go go and he gave to him [the] chief of [the] bodyguards a food allowance and a present and he let go him.
Wakati Yeremia hakujibu, Nebuzaradani alisema, “Nenda kwa Gedalia mwana wa Ahikam mwana wa Shafani, ambaye mfalme wa Babeli amemweka msimamizi wa miji ya Yuda. Baki pamoja naye miongoni mwa watu au nenda popote ni pazuri katika macho yako kwenda.” Amri wa walinzi wa mfalme alimpa chakula na zawadi, na kisha akamtuma mbali.
6 And he went Jeremiah to Gedaliah [the] son of Ahikam Mizpah towards and he remained with him in among the people who remained in the land.
Basi Yeremia alienda kwa Gedalia mwana wa Ahikam, huko Mizpah. Alibaki pamoja naye miongoni mwa watu ambao walibaki nyuma katika nchi.
7 And they heard all [the] commanders of the armies which [were] in the open country they and men their that he had appointed [the] king of Babylon Gedaliah [the] son of Ahikam over the land and that - he had appointed with him men and women and little one[s] and some of [the] poor people of the land from [those] who not they had been taken into exile Babylon towards.
Sasa baadhi ya amri wa wanawajeshi wa Yuda ambao walikuwa bado katika uwanja- wao na watu wao - walisikia kuwa mfalme wa Babeli alimfanya Gedalia mwana wa Ahikam, liwali juu ya nchi. Pia walisikia kuwa amemweka kusimamia wanaume, wanawake, na watoto ambao walikuwa watu maskini katika nchi, wale ambao hawakuwa wamechukuliwa mateka Babeli.
8 And they came to Gedaliah Mizpah towards and Ishmael [the] son Nethaniah and Johanan and Jonathan [the] sons of Kareah and Seraiah [the] son of Tanhumeth and [the] sons of - (Ephai *Q(K)*) the Netophathite and Jezaniah [the] son of the Maacathite they and men their.
Basi walienda kwa Gedalia huko Mizpa. Hawa watu walikuwa Ishmaeli mwana Nethania; Yonathan na Yonathani, wana wa Kareaa; Seraya mwana wa Tanhumethi; wana wa Efai Netophathite; na Yezania mwana wa Mmaaka-wao na watu wao.
9 And he swore an oath to them Gedaliah [the] son of Ahikam [the] son of Shaphan and to men their saying may not you be afraid from serving the Chaldeans remain in the land and serve [the] king of Babylon so it may go well for you.
Gedalia mwana wa Ahikam mwana wa Shafan, alichukua kiapo kwao na kwa watu wao, na kusema kwao, “Usiogope kuwatumikia maafisa wa Wakaldayo. Ishi katika nchi na kumtumkia mfalme wa Babeli, na itakuwa vizuri kwenu.
10 And I here I [will be] dwelling at Mizpah to stand before the Chaldeans who they will come to us and you gather wine and summer fruit and oil and put [them] in vessels your and dwell in cities your which you have taken hold of.
Na tazama, Ninaishi Mizpa kukutana pamoja na Wakaldayo waliokuja kwetu. Basi vuna mvinyo, matunda ya kiangazi, na mafuta na viweke kwenye vyombo vyako. Uishi katika miji ambayo umechukua.”
11 And also all the Jews who [were] in Moab - and among [the] people of Ammon and in Edom and who [were] in all the lands they heard that he had given [the] king of Babylon a remnant to Judah and that he had appointed over them Gedaliah [the] son of Ahikam [the] son of Shaphan.
Kisha Wayahudi wote katika Moabu, miongoni mwa watu wa Ammoni, na katika Edomu, na katika kila nchi ilisikiwa kwamba mfalme wa Babalei ameruhusu mabaki ya Yuda kubaki, kwamba alimteua Gedalia mwana wa Ahikam mwana wa Shafani juu yao.
12 And they returned all the Jews from all the places where they had been driven away there and they came [the] land of Judah to Gedaliah Mizpah towards and they gathered wine and summer fruit much exceedingly.
Basi Wayahudi wote walirudi toka kila eneo ambako walikuwa wametawanyika. Walirudi kwenye nchi ya Yuda, kwa Gedalia huko Mizpa. Walivuna mvinyo na matunda ya kiangazi kwa wingi.
13 And Johanan [the] son of Kareah and all [the] commanders of the armies which [were] in the open country they came to Gedaliah Mizpah towards.
Yonathan mwana wa Karea na amri wote wa jeshi katika uwanja walikuja kwa Gedalia huko Mizpa.
14 And they said to him ¿ really do you know that Baalis - [the] king of [the] people of Ammon he has sent Ishmael [the] son of Nethaniah to strike you life and not he believed them Gedaliah [the] son of Ahikam.
Walisema kwake, “Haujui kuwa Baalis mfalme wa watu wa Ammoni amemtuma Ishmael mwana wa Nethania kukuua?” Lakini Gedalia mwana wa Ahikim hakuwaamini.
15 And Johanan [the] son of Kareah he said to Gedaliah in secrecy at Mizpah saying let me go please and let me strike down Ishmael [the] son of Nethaniah and anyone not he will know why? will he strike you life and will they be scattered all Jews who have gathered to you and will it perish [the] remnant of Judah.
Basi Yonathan mwana wa Karea alizungumza kwa siri kwa Gedalia huko Mizpa na kusema, “Niruhusu niende kumuua Ishmael mwana wa Nethania. Hakuna atakaye nituhumu. Kwanini asikuue wewe? Kwanini kuruhusu Yuda yote ambayo imekusanywa kwako kutawanyishwa na mabaki ya Yuda kuharibiwa?”
16 And he said Gedaliah [the] son of Ahikam to Johanan [the] son of Kareah may not (you do *Q(k)*) the thing this for falsehood you [are] speaking concerning Ishmael.
Lakini Gedalia mwana wa Ahikam alisema kwa Yonathan mwana wa Karea, “Usifanye jambo hili, kwa kuwa unasema uongo kuhusu Ishmael.”
