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.
In the ninth year of Sedecias king of Juda, in the tenth month, came Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and all his army to 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.
And in the I eleventh year of Sedecias, in the fourth month, the fifth day of the month, the city was opened.
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: Neregel, Sereser, Semegarnabu, Sarsachim, Rabsares, Neregel, Serezer, Rebmag, 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 when Sedecias the king of Juda and all the men of war saw them, they fled: and they went forth in the night out of the city by the way of the king’s garden, and by the gate that was between the two walls, and they went; out to the way of the desert.
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 army of the Chaldeans pursued after them: and they took Sedecias in the plain of the desert of Jericho, and when they had taken him, they brought him to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon to Reblatha, which is in the land of Emath: and he gave 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 slew the sons of Sedecias, in Reblatha, before his eyes: and the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Juda.
7 Emesịa, ọ ghụpụrụ Zedekaya anya ya abụọ, jiri ụdọ bronz kee ya agbụ kpọrọ ya gaa Babilọn.
He also put out the eyes of Sedecias: and bound him with fetters, to be carried to Babylon.
8 Ndị Babilọn sunyere ụlọeze na ụlọ ndị mmadụ niile ọkụ, kwatukwa mgbidi niile nke Jerusalem.
And the Chaldeans burnt the king’s house, and the houses of the people with fire, and they threw down the wall 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 Nabuzardan the general of the army carried away captive to Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city, and the fugitives that had gone over to him, and the rest of the people that remained.
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 Nabuzardan the general left some of the poor people that had nothing at all, in the land of Juda, and he gave them vineyards, and cisterns at that time.
11 Ugbu a, Nebukadneza eze Babilọn enyelarị Nebuzaradan ọchịagha ndị nche eze iwu banyere Jeremaya, sị,
Now Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had given charge to Nabuzardan the general concerning Jeremias, 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 set thy eyes upon him, and do him no harm: but as he hath a mind, so do with him.
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,
Therefore Nabuzardan the general sent, and Nabusezban, and Rabsares, and Neregel, and Sereser, and Rebmag, and all the nobles 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.
Sent, and took Jeremias out of the court of the prison, and committed him to Codolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan, that he might go home, and dwell 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,
But the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, when he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying: Go, and tell Abdemelech the Ethiopian, 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.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will bring my words upon this city unto evil, and not unto good: and they shall be accomplished in thy sight 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 the Lord: and thou shalt not be given into the hands of the men whom thou fearest:
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.
But delivering, I will deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword: but thy life shall be saved for thee, because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the Lord.
