Jeremaya 39
1 Otu a ka e si dọta Jerusalem nʼagha. Nʼafọ nke itoolu, nke ọchịchị Zedekaya eze Juda, nʼọnwa nke iri ya, Nebukadneza eze Babilọn duuru ndị agha ya niile bịa ibuso Jerusalem agha, Ha gbara ya gburugburu, nọchibido ya.
And it came about, that when Jerusalem was taken, (in the ninth year of Zedekiah, king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, with all his army, came against Jerusalem, shutting it in on every side;
2 Nʼụbọchị nke itoolu, nʼọnwa nke anọ, nʼafọ nke iri na otu nke ọchịchị Zedekaya, ha gwupuru mgbidi obodo ahụ.
In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, the town was broken into: )
3 Mgbe ahụ, ndịisi niile nke eze Babilọn batara were ọnọdụ ha nʼọnụ ụzọ ama nke Etiti. Ndị a bụ ndị batara: Negal-Shareza onye Samga, na Nebo-Sasekim, onyeisi nʼetiti ndịisi, na Negal-Shareza onyeisi nke ọkwa ya dị elu, na ndịisi niile ọzọ nke eze Babilọn ndị fọdụrụ.
All the captains of the king of Babylon came in and took their places in the middle doorway of the town, Nergal-shar-ezer, ruler of Sin-magir, the Rabmag, and Nebushazban, the Rab-saris, and all the captains of the king of Babylon.
4 Mgbe Zedekaya eze Juda na ndị agha ya niile hụrụ ha, ha gbapụrụ ọsọ. Ha ji abalị gbapụ nʼobodo ahụ site nʼọnụ ụzọ ama nke dị nʼetiti mgbidi abụọ nʼakụkụ ubi eze a gbara ogige, chee ihu nʼụzọ Araba.
And when Zedekiah, king of Judah, and all the men of war saw it, they went in flight from the town by night, by the way of the king's garden, through the doorway between the two walls: and they went out by the Arabah.
5 Ma ndị agha ndị Babilọn chụsoro ha nʼazụ, chụkwute Zedekaya na mbara ala Jeriko. Ha jidere ya, kpụgara ya Nebukadneza eze Babilọn, nʼobodo Ribla, nke dị nʼala Hamat, ebe ọ nọ maa ya ikpe.
But the Chaldaean army went after them and overtook Zedekiah in the lowlands of Jericho: and they made him a prisoner and took him up to Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, to Riblah in the land of Hamath, to be judged by him.
6 Ọ bụ na Ribla, ka eze Babilọn nọ gbuo ụmụ ndị ikom Zedekaya niile nʼihu ya. Ebe ahụ ka a nọkwa gbuo ndị Juda niile a na-asọpụrụ.
Then the king of Babylon put the sons of Zedekiah to death before his eyes in Riblah: and the king of Babylon put to death all the great men of Judah.
7 Emesịa, ọ ghụpụrụ Zedekaya anya ya abụọ, jiri ụdọ bronz kee ya agbụ kpọrọ ya gaa Babilọn.
And more than this, he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and had him put in chains to take him away to Babylon.
8 Ndị Babilọn sunyere ụlọeze na ụlọ ndị mmadụ niile ọkụ, kwatukwa mgbidi niile nke Jerusalem.
And the Chaldaeans put the king's house on fire, as well as the houses of the people, and had the walls of Jerusalem broken down.
9 Nebuzaradan bụ ọchịagha ndị nche eze, buuru ndị niile fọdụrụ nʼobodo, ha na ndị ahụ buuru ụzọ jekwuru ya, na ndị ọzọ fọdụrụ, bulaa ha Babilọn, dịka ndị a dọtara nʼagha.
Then Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took away to Babylon as prisoners, all the rest of the workmen who were still in the town, as well as those who had given themselves up to him, and all the rest of the people.
10 Ma Nebuzaradan bụ ọchịagha ndị nche eze, hapụrụ ụfọdụ ndị ogbenye, ndị na-enweghị ihe ọbụla nʼala Juda. Nʼoge ahụ, o nyere ha ubi vaịnị a gbara ogige na ala ubi niile.
But Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, let the poorest of the people, who had nothing whatever, go on living in the land of Judah, and gave them vine-gardens and fields at the same time.
11 Ugbu a, Nebukadneza eze Babilọn enyelarị Nebuzaradan ọchịagha ndị nche eze iwu banyere Jeremaya, sị,
Now Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, gave orders about Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, saying,
12 “Kpọrọ ya, lekọtazie ya anya nke ọma; emekwala ya ihe ọjọọ ọbụla, kama meere ya ihe ọbụla ọ rịọrọ gị.”
Take him and keep an eye on him and see that no evil comes to him; but do with him whatever he says to you.
13 Ya mere, Nebuzaradan, ọchịagha ndị nche eze, na Nebushazban, onyeisi nʼetiti ndịisi, na Negal-Shareza, bụ onyeisi ọkwa ya dị elu, na ndịisi ndị ọzọ niile nke eze Babilọn,
So Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, sent Nebushazban, the Rab-saris, and Nergal-shar-ezer, the Rabmag, and all the chief captains of the king of Babylon,
14 ziri ndị jere kpọpụta Jeremaya site nʼogige ndị nche. Ha nyefere ya nʼaka Gedaliya nwa Ahikam, nwa Shefan, ka o dulaa ya nʼụlọ ya. Ya mere, Jeremaya nọgidere nʼetiti ndị nke ya.
And they sent and took Jeremiah out of the place of the watchmen, and gave him into the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, to take him to his house: so he was living among the people.
15 Ma nʼoge ahụ, Jeremaya nọ dị ka onye mkpọrọ nʼogige ụlọ ndị nche, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru ya ntị sị ya,
Now the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah while he was shut up in the place of the armed watchmen, saying,
16 “Jekwuru Ebed-Melek onye Kush, gwa ya sị ya, ‘Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru, Lee, ana m aga ime ka okwu ahụ m kwuru megide obodo a mezuo. Ihe ga-abịakwasị obodo a bụ ịla nʼiyi, ọ bụghị ọganihu. Nʼoge ahụ, ihe ndị a ga-emezukwa nʼihu gị.
Go and say to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: See, my words will come true for this town, for evil and not for good: they will come about before your eyes on that day.
17 Ma aga m anapụta gị nʼụbọchị ahụ, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri. A gaghị enyefe gị nʼaka ndị ahụ ị na-atụ egwu ha.
But I will keep you safe on that day, says the Lord: you will not be given into the hands of the men you are fearing.
18 Aga m azọpụta gị. Ị gakwaghị ada site na mma agha kama ị ga-agbapụkwa na ndụ, nʼihi na ị tụkwasịrị m obi.’” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya.
For I will certainly let you go free, and you will not be put to the sword, but your life will be given to you out of the hands of your attackers: because you have put your faith in me, says the Lord.
