Jeremiah 39
1 In the ninth year and tenth month of Zedekiah king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem and besieged it.
Uku ndiko kutorwa kwakaitwa Jerusarema: Mugore repfumbamwe ramambo Zedhekia mambo weJudha, mumwedzi wegumi, Nebhukadhinezari mambo weBhabhironi akauya kuzorwisa Jerusarema nehondo yake yose uye akarikomba.
2 In the eleventh year and fourth month of Zedekiah, on the ninth day of the month, the city was broken into.
Zvino mugore regumi nerimwe raZedhekia, pazuva repfumbamwe romwedzi wechina, masvingo eguta akakoromorwa.
3 Then all the officials of the king of Babylon came and sat in the middle gate: Nebo-Sarsekim, Samgar Nebo, and Sarsechim, an important official. Nebo-Sarsekim was a high official and all the rest were the officials of the king of Babylon.
Ipapo machinda ose amambo weBhabhironi akauya ndokugara paSuo Rapakati, vaiti: Nerigari-Sharezeri weSamugari naNebho-Saresekimi mukuru wavaranda vamambo weBhabhironi, naNerigari-Sharezeri mukuru aiva nechinzvimbo chapamusoro, namamwe machinda ose amambo weBhabhironi.
4 It happened that when Zedekiah, king of Judah, and all his fighting men saw them, they fled. They went out at night from the city by the king's garden path, through the gate between the two walls. The king went out in the direction of the Arabah.
Zedhekia mambo weJudha navarwi vose vakati vavaona, vakatiza; vakabuda muguta usiku vakaenda nenzira yokubindu ramambo, napasuo raiva pakati pamasvingo maviri, ndokunanga kuArabha.
5 But the army of Chaldeans pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of the Jordan River valley near Jericho. Then they captured him and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where Nebuchadnezzar passed sentence on him.
Asi hondo yavaBhabhironi yakavadzinganisa ndokubatira Zedhekia mumapani eJeriko. Vakamubata ndokumuendesa kuna Nebhukadhinezari mambo weBhabhironi paRibhira munyika yeHamati kwaakamupa mutongo wake.
6 The king of Babylon slaughtered Zedekiah's sons before his own eyes at Riblah. He also slaughtered all the noblemen of Judah.
Ipapo paRibhira Mambo weBhabhironi akauraya vanakomana vaZedhekia pamberi pake uye akaurayawo makurukota ose eJudha.
7 Then he put out Zedekiah's eyes and bound him in bronze chains in order to take him to Babylon.
Ipapo akatumbura meso aZedhekia ndokumusunga nengetani kuti aende naye kuBhabhironi.
8 Then the Chaldeans burned the king's house and the people's houses. They also tore down the walls of Jerusalem.
VaBhabhironi vakapisa muzinda wamambo nedzimba dzavanhu vakakoromora masvingo eJerusarema.
9 Nebuzaradan, the commander of the king's bodyguards, took into exile the rest of the people who were left in the city. This included the people who had deserted to the Chaldeans and the rest of the people who were left in the city.
Nebhuzaradhani mukuru wehondo yavarindi akaendesa kuBhabhironi vanhu vakanga vasara muguta pamwe chete navaya vakanga vazvipira kwaari uye noruzhinji rwavanhu.
10 But Nebuzaradan the commander of the king's bodyguards allowed the poorest people who had nothing for themselves to remain in the land of Judah. He gave them vineyards and fields on that same day.
Asi Nebhuzaradhani mukuru wavarindi akasiya munyika yeJudha vamwe varombo vakanga vasina chinhu; uye panguva iyoyo akavapa minda yemizambiringa nemimwe minda.
11 Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had given an order about Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the commander of the king's bodyguards. He had said,
Zvino Nebhukadhinezari mambo weBhabhironi akanga arayira izvi pamusoro paJeremia kubudikidza naNebhuzaradhani mukuru wavarindi, achiti,
12 “Take him and care for him. Do not harm him. Do for him anything he tells you.”
“Mutorei mumuchengete; musamuitira zvakaipa asi mumuitire zvose zvaanokumbira.”
13 So Nebuzaradan the commander of the king's bodyguards, Nebushazban the high eunuch, Nergal-Sharezer the high official, and all the most important officials of the king of Babylon sent men out.
Saka Nebhuzaradhani mukuru wavarindi, naNebhushazibhani mukuru wavaranda, naNerigari-Sharezeri aiva mukuru wenʼanga namamwe machinda ose amambo weBhabhironi
14 Their men took Jeremiah from the courtyard of the guard and entrusted him to Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, to take him home, so Jeremiah stayed among the people.
vakatumira nhume kuti Jeremia abviswe paruvazhe rwavarindi. Vakamuendesa kuna Gedharia mwanakomana waAhikami, mwanakomana waShafani, kuti vamudzosere kumusha kwake. Saka akaramba agere pakati pavanhu vokwake.
15 Now the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah while he was under arrest in the courtyard of the guard, saying,
Shoko raJehovha rakasvika kuna Jeremia achakapfigirwa muruvazhe rwavarindi, richiti,
16 “Speak to Ebed-Melek the Cushite and say, 'Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: See, I am about to carry out my words against this city for disaster and not for good. For they will all come true before you on that day.
“Enda undoudza Ebhedhi-Mereki muEtiopia kuti, ‘Zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose, Mwari waIsraeri: Ndava pedyo kuzadzisa mashoko angu pamusoro peguta rino nenjodzi, kwete kubudirira. Panguva iyoyo zvichazadzisika pamberi pako.
17 But I will rescue you on that day—this is Yahweh's declaration—and you will not be given into the hand of the men whom you fear.
Asi iwe ndichakurwira pazuva iro, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, haungaiswi mumaoko evaunotya.
18 For I will certainly rescue you. You will not fall by the sword. You will escape with your life, since you trust in me—this was Yahweh's declaration.'”
Ndichakuponesa; haungaurayiwi nomunondo asi uchatiza noupenyu hwako, nokuti unovimba neni, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.’”
