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 to pass when Jerusalem was taken, in the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it.
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 of the month, the city 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.
and all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate: Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebu, Sarsechim, chief chamberlain, Nergal-sharezer, chief magian, and all the rest of the princes 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 it came to pass when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, that they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, by the gate between the two walls; and he went out the way of the plain.
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.
And the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and they took him, and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, unto Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he pronounced judgment upon 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.
And the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes, and the king of Babylon slaughtered all the nobles of Judah;
7 Emesịa, ọ ghụpụrụ Zedekaya anya ya abụọ, jiri ụdọ bronz kee ya agbụ kpọrọ ya gaa Babilọn.
and he put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with chains of brass, to carry him to Babylon.
8 Ndị Babilọn sunyere ụlọeze na ụlọ ndị mmadụ niile ọkụ, kwatukwa mgbidi niile nke Jerusalem.
And the Chaldeans burned the king's house and the houses of the people with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
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.
And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive into Babylon the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the deserters that had deserted to him, with the rest of the people that were left.
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 Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard left [certain] of the people, the poor who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
11 Ugbu a, Nebukadneza eze Babilọn enyelarị Nebuzaradan ọchịagha ndị nche eze iwu banyere Jeremaya, sị,
And Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had given charge concerning Jeremiah by Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard, 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 upon him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee.
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 Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard sent, and Nebushazban, chief chamberlain, and Nergal-sharezer, chief magian, and all the king of Babylon's princes,
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.
even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should conduct him away home. And he dwelt 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,
And the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the guard, 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 speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good, and they shall come to pass before thy face in 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.
And I will deliver thee in that day, saith Jehovah; and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid;
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 save thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thou shalt have thy life for a prey; for thou hast put thy confidence in me, saith Jehovah.
