< Jeremiah 37 >

1 After Jehoiakim died, [his son Jehoiachin became king for only three months, after which] King Josiah’s son Zedekiah became the King of Judah. Nebuchadnezzar, the King of Babylon, appointed him to be the new king.
Oo Boqor Sidqiyaah oo ahaa ina Yoosiyaah ayaa boqor ka noqday meeshii Konyaah ina Yehooyaaqiim, kaasoo ahaa kii Nebukadresar oo ahaa boqorkii Baabuloon uu isaga boqor uga dhigay dalkii Yahuudah.
2 But King Zedekiah and his palace officials and the other people in the land paid no attention to the messages that Yahweh gave me.
Laakiinse isagii, iyo addoommadiisii, iyo dadkii dalka toona midkoodna ma maqlin erayadii Rabbiga ee uu isagu kaga hadlay Nebi Yeremyaah.
3 However, [one day] King Zedekiah sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the priest, who was the son of Maaseiah, to me. They requested me to pray to Yahweh our God for our [nation].
Oo Boqor Sidqiyaah wuxuu Nebi Yeremyaah u soo diray Yehuukal ina Shelemyaah, iyo Sefanyaah ina wadaadka Macaseeyaah, oo wuxuu ku soo yidhi, Bal Rabbiga Ilaaheenna ah noo bari.
4 At that time I had not yet been put in prison, so I could come and go wherever and whenever I wanted to, [without being hindered].
Oo markaas Nebi Yeremyaah dadka dhexdiisa ayuu gudaha u soo geli jiray oo dibadda uga bixi jiray, waayo, weli ma ay xabbisin.
5 [At that time], the army of [Hophra], the King of Egypt, came [to the southern border of Judah]. When the army of Babylonia heard about that, they stopped surrounding Jerusalem and left there [to fight against the army from Egypt].
Oo ciidankii Fircoon ayaa Masar ka soo baxay, oo reer Kaldayiinkii Yeruusaalem ku hareeraysnaana markay warkoodii maqleen ayay Yeruusaalem ka kala tageen.
6 Then Yahweh gave this message to me:
Markaasaa eraygii Rabbigu Nebi Yeremyaah u yimid, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
7 “[I], Yahweh, the God whom [you] Israelis [say you belong to], say this: ‘The King of Judah has sent [messengers] to you to ask me [what is going to happen]. Tell the king that even though the army of the King of Egypt came to help him, they are about to return to Egypt.
Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Boqorka dalka Yahuudah oo ii soo kiin diray inuu wax i weyddiisto waxaad ku tidhaahdaan, Bal eeg, ciidanka Fircoon oo u soo baxay inuu ku caawiyo, waxay ku noqon doonaan dalkoodii Masar.
8 Then the army of Babylonia will return here and capture this city and burn everything in it.’
Oo reer Kaldayiinna way soo noqon doonaan, oo magaaladan bay la diriri doonaan, wayna qabsan doonaan, oo dab bay ku gubi doonaan.
9 [So], this is what I say [to you Israelis]: ‘You should not deceive yourselves, thinking that the army from Babylonia has gone and will not return. That is not true.
Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Idinku ha iskhiyaanaynina, oo ha isku odhanina, Hubaal reer Kaldayiin way naga tegayaan, maxaa yeelay, iyagu ma ay tegi doonaan.
10 And even if your soldiers could destroy almost all of the soldiers from Babylonia who are attacking you, and allow only a few of them who were wounded to remain alive in their tents, they would come out [of their tents] and burn this city completely!”’”
Waayo, in kastoo aad ciidanka reer Kaldayiin ee idinla diriraya wada baabbi'in lahaydeen, oo rag dhaawac ah mooyaane aan iyaga wax kale ka hadhin, haddana iyaga midkood kastaaba wuxuu ka soo kici lahaa teendhadiisa, oo dab bay magaaladan ku gubi lahaayeen.
11 When the army from Babylonia left Jerusalem because the army from Egypt was approaching,
Oo markii ciidankii reer Kaldayiin ay Yeruusaalem uga kala tageen cabsi ay ka qabaan ciidankii Fircoon aawadiis
12 I started to leave the city. I intended to go to the area [where the descendants of] Benjamin live, in order to take possession of my share of the property from my family.
ayaa Yeremyaah Yeruusaalem ka baxay oo wuxuu galay dalkii reer Benyaamiin si uu meeshaas qaybtiisa dadka uga dhex helo.
13 But as I was walking out the Benjamin Gate, a guard seized me and said, “You are deserting [us and going] to [the soldiers from] Babylonia!” The man who seized me was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah and grandson of Hananiah.
Oo markuu iriddii reer Benyaamiin joogay waxaa isna halkaas joogay sirkaal waardiyayaasha madax u ahaa, oo magiciisa la odhan jiray Yiriyaah ina Shelemyaah, oo ahaa ina Xananyaah, oo isna Yeremyaah buu qabtay oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Adigu waxaad u gelaysaa reer Kaldayiin.
14 But I [protested and] said, “That is not true! I was not intending to do that!” But Irijah would not pay attention to what I said. He took me to the [king’s] officials.
Markaas Yeremyaah wuxuu ku yidhi, Taasu waa been, anigu reer Kaldayiin u geli maayo. Laakiinse isagu innaba ma uu dhegaysan, sidaas daraaddeed Yiriyaah wuxuu soo qabtay Yeremyaah, oo amiirradii u keenay.
15 They were very angry with me. They [commanded the guards to] beat me and [then to] put me in the house where Jonathan the king’s secretary stayed. They had changed Jonathan’s house to make it become a prison.
Amiirradiina Yeremyaah bay u cadhoodeen, oo intay garaaceen ayay gurigii Yoonaataan oo karraanigii ahaa ku xabbiseen, waayo, kaasay xabsi ka dhigeen.
16 They put me in a dungeon/cell in that prison, and I remained there for several days.
Markii Yeremyaah uu gurigii godka ahaa galay iyo weliba qolalkii hoose, oo uu halkaas maalmo badan ku jiray,
17 Then King Zedekiah secretly sent a servant to me, who took me to the palace. There the king asked me, “Do you have any messages from Yahweh?” I replied, “Yes, [the message is that] you will be handed over to the king of Babylon.”
ayaa waxaa isagii u soo cid diray Boqor Sidqiyaah, oo soo bixiyey. Markaasaa boqorkii si qarsoodi ah gurigiisa gudihiisa wax ugu weyddiiyey, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Eray Rabbiga ka yimid miyuu jiraa? Kolkaasaa Yeremyaah ku yidhi, Waa jiraa. Oo wuxuu kaloo yidhi, Adigu waxaa laguu gelin doonaa gacanta boqorka Baabuloon.
18 Then I asked the king, “What crime have I committed [RHQ] against you or against your officials or against the Israeli people, with the result that you have [commanded that] I be put in a prison?
Oo weliba Yeremyaah wuxuu Boqor Sidqiyaah ku yidhi, Bal maxaan adiga, amase addoommadaada, amase dadkan u dhimay, oo aad ii xabbisteen?
19 Your prophets predicted that the army of the king of Babylon would not attack you or this land. Why were [RHQ] [their messages] not fulfilled?
Haddaba bal meeye nebiyadaadii wax idiin sii sheegay, oo idinku yidhi, Boqorka Baabuloon ku soo duuli maayo idinka iyo dalkanba?
20 Your majesty, I plead with you to listen to me. Do not send me back to the dungeon/cell in the house of Jonathan your secretary, because [if you do that, ] I will die there.”
Haddaba boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, bal baryadayda maqal, oo waan ku baryayaaye baryootankayga xaggaaga ha laga aqbalo, oo gurigii karraaniga Yoonaataan ha igu celin, waaba intaasoo aan halkaas ku dhintaaye.
21 So King Zedekiah commanded that [I not be sent back to the prison cell. Instead, ] I was allowed to be watched by the guards in the courtyard [of the palace]. [The king] also [commanded that they should] bring me a loaf of fresh bread every day, until there was no bread left in the city. So [they put me] in that courtyard and I remained there.
Markaas Boqor Sidqiyaah wuxuu ku amray in Yeremyaah barxaddii waardiyayaasha lagu daayo, oo waxaa dharaar kasta jidka kibisdubayaasha laga siin jiray xabbad kibis ah, ilamaa kibistii magaaladu ay wada dhammaatay. Oo sidaasuu Yeremyaah barxaddii waardiyayaasha ugu sii hadhay.
