Zeremaia 38

1 Hagi Matani nemofo Sifatiaki, Pasuri nemofo Gadaliaki, Selemaia nemofo Jukaliki, Malkia nemofo Pasuriki hu'za mani'ne'za nentahizageno Jeremaia'a maka vahera amanage huno zamasami'ne,

Shephatiah son of Mattan, Gedaliah son of Pashhur, Jehukal son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur son of Malkijah heard the words that Jeremiah was declaring to all the people. He was saying,

2 Ra Anumzamo'a huno, iza'o ama rankuma'mofo agu'afima manisia vahera hapinti ahe frige, ne'zanku huno frige, krimo ahe frige hugahie. Hianagi iza'o Kaldia vahe zamazampima freno vania vahe'mo'a ofri manigahie. Anama ofri manisaza vahera hapinti fenozama rohure'za erizankna hu'za, ozamahe zamatresage'za manigahaze.

“Yahweh says this: Anyone staying in this city will be killed by sword, famine, and plague. But anyone who goes out to the Chaldeans will survive. He will escape with his own life, and live.

3 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Ama Jerusalemi rankumara Babiloni kini ne'mofo sondia vahe zamazampi erintesuge'za hahugatere'za erigahaze hu'ne.

Yahweh says this: This city will be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he will capture it.”

4 Hagi Jeremaia'a anagema hige'za anante kini ne'mofo eri'za vahe'mo'za kini nera asami'za, ama nera ahe frigahune. Na'ankure amanahu nanekema nehia zamo'a, ama rankumapima nemaniza sondia vahe'ene maka vahemo'zanema koro'ma hanaza naneke nehie. Na'ankure agra ama vahe'mokizmi knare zankura keaga nosianki, hazenkema erisaza nanekege nehie.

So the officials said to the king, “Let this man die, for in this way he is weakening the hands of the fighting men who remain in this city, and the hands of all the people. He is proclaiming these words, for this man is not working for safety for this people, but disaster.”

5 Hagi anante kini ne' Zedekaia'a huno, antahiho! Agra menina tamagri tamazampi mani'neanki'na, nagra kini ne'mo'na mago zana osugahue.

So King Zedekiah said, “Look, he is in your hand since there is no king able to resist you.”

6 Hagi anagema hige'za Jeremaiana avre'za kini ne'mofo nemofo Malkiza tinkerifi ome atrageno urami'ne. Anama ome atre'naza tinkerimo'a sondia vahe'ma nemaniza kumapi me'ne. Ana hu'negeno ana kerifina tina omanegeno hapamoke me'nefi Jeremaiana nofi rentene'za atrazageno anampi uramino hampakane'ne.

Then they took Jeremiah and threw him into the cistern of Malkijah, son of the king. The cistern was in the courtyard of the guard. They lowered Jeremiah down on ropes. There was no water in the cistern, but it was muddy, and he sank down into the mud.

7 Hagi mago nera Ebet-Melekikino kini ne'mofo nompi eri'za e'neria nere. Agra Itiopia mopafinti nekino, kini ne'mofo nompi mani'neno, Jeremaiama avre'za tinkerifima ome atre'naza nanekea antahi'ne. Hagi ana zupa kini ne'mo'a rankumamofona Benzameni kafanema nehaza rankafante mani'ne.

Now Ebed-Melek the Cushite was one of the eunuchs in the king's house. He heard that they had placed Jeremiah in the cistern. Now the king was sitting at the Benjamin Gate.

8 Hagi Ebet-Meleki'a kini ne'mofo nompima mani'neretira atreno vuno, kini nera amanage huno ome asami'ne.

So Ebed-Melek went from the king's house and spoke with the king. He said,

9 Kini nera ranimoka, ama vahe'mo'za havi avu'avaza hu'za, kasnampa ne' Jeremaiana avre'za vu'za tinkerifina ome atre'nazankino, anampi manineno agazanku huno frigahie. Na'ankure magore huno rankumapina ne'zana omanetfa hu'ne.

“My master the king, these men have done evil with the way they have treated Jeremiah the prophet. They threw him into a cistern for him to die in it from hunger, since there is no more food in the city.”

10 Anagema higeno'a kini ne'mo'a Ebet-Melekina amanage huno huntene, Ru frisnigi vunka 30'a vahe ome zamavarenka ana kerifintira kasnampa ne' Jeremaiana ome avre atreho.

Then the king gave a command to Ebed-Melek the Cushite. He said, “Take command of thirty men from here and take Jeremiah the prophet out of the cistern before he dies.”

11 Anage higeno'a Ebet-Meleki'a ana vahera ome zamavarege'za kini ne'mofo nompi vu'za, feno zama nentaza nomofo fenka kazigama me'nea nompima, tagato tagatu'ma hu'nea kukenane atafa kukenama nentazafinti ana kukena ome eriteno vuno nofi ome anakiteno atregeno Jeremaia'ma kerifima mani'nere urami'ne.

So Ebed-Melek took command of those men and went to the king's house, to a storeroom for clothing under the house. From there he took rags and worn-out clothing and then let them down by ropes to Jeremiah in the cistern.

12 Hagi ana Itiopia ne' Ebet-Meleki''a Jeremaiana amanage huno asami'ne, Ana tavarave nofi erinka tarega kazo'namofo fenka kaziga atregeno rugagino, ana hutenka nofimo'ma katama kami'zankura nofira erinka kavuga ana tavravemofo amu'nompi anakio. Higeno anama asamia zana amage anteno Jeremaia'a hu'ne.

Ebed-Melek the Cushite said to Jeremiah, “Put the rags and worn-out clothing under your arms and on top of the ropes.” So Jeremiah did so.

13 Ana hute'za ana nofite Jeremaiana ana kerifintira avazuhu anagate'naze. Ana hutazageno kini ne'mofo kumapima sondia vahe'ma nemanizafi mani'ne.

Then they pulled Jeremiah by the ropes. In this way they brought him up from the cistern. So Jeremiah stayed in the courtyard of the guard.

14 Hagi mago zupa kini ne' Zedekaia'a vahe huzmantege'za vu'za Jeremaiana ome asamizageno Ra Anumzamofo mono nomofona nampa 3 kafama unefrazare mani'negeno eme ke'ne. Higeno kini nemo'a amanage huno Jeremaiana asami'ne. Nagra mago zanku kantahige'za nehuanki magore hunka nagritera eri frara okio.

Then King Zedekiah sent word and brought Jeremiah the prophet to himself, to the third entrance in Yahweh's house. The king said to Jeremiah, “I want to ask you something. Do not keep the answer from me.”

15 Anage higeno Jeremaia'a amanage huno Zedekaiana asami'ne. Nagrama kekare'ma nonama hu'na kasami'nuana nagrira tamagerfa hunka nahe frigahane. Hagi nagrama knare antahintahima kamisuana, ana nanekeni'a ontahigahane.

Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “If I answer you, will you not certainly kill me? But if I give you advice, you will not listen to me.”

16 Hianagi kini ne' Zedekaia'a oku'a zanagrake mani'neke Jeremaiana amanage huno huvempa hunte'ne. Ra Anumzana kasefa huno mani'nea Anumzama, tasimu'ma tamigeta mani'nona Anumzamofo avufi huvempa huanki'na kagrira kahe ofrigahue. Ana nehu'na kahe frinaku'ma nehaza vahe zamazampina kavre ontegahue.

But King Zedekiah swore to Jeremiah in private and said, “As Yahweh lives, the one who made us, I will not kill you or give you into the hand of those men who are seeking your life.”

17 Anante Jeremaia'a amanage huno Zedekaiana asami'ne. Ra Anumzana Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a huno, ha'ma osu kagrama atrenka Babiloni kini ne'mofo eri'za vahe zamazampima ufresunka, kagra knare hunka manigahane. Ana'ma hananke'za ama Jerusalemi rankumara tevea tagi ontegahaze. Ana hanagenka kagrane nagaka'anena knare huta manigahaze.

So Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “Yahweh, God of hosts, God of Israel, says this: If you indeed go out to the officials of the king of Babylon then you will live, and this city will not be burned. You and your family will live.

18 Hianagi kagrama atrenka Babiloni kini ne'mofo eri'za vahe zamazampima uofresanke'na, Nagra Kaldia vahe zamazampi ama Jerusalemi rankumara erintesuge'za teve tagintesageno tegahie. Ana hanigenka kagra ana vahe zamazampintira zamatrenka ofregahane.

But if you do not go out to the officials of the king of Babylon, then this city will be given into the hand of the Chaldeans. They will burn it, and you will not escape from their hand.”

19 Hagi kini ne' Zedekaia'a amanage huno Jeremaiana asami'ne. Koma Juda vahe'mo'zama atre'za Babiloni vahe'enema umani'naza vaheku koro nehue. Nagri'ma navre'za Babilonima vu'za Juda vahe zamazampi ome antesage'za, nazeri havizama huzanku korora nehue.

King Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “But I am afraid of the people of Judah who have deserted to the Chaldeans, because I might be given over into their hand, for them to treat me badly.”

20 Higeno Jeremaia'a ana kenona huno, Kagrira kavre'za Juda vahe zamazampina ome ontegahaze. Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma hige'nama kasamua nanekea antahinka amage'anto. Ana'ma hananke'za kagrira kahe ofrisagenka knare hunka manigahane.

Jeremiah said, “They will not give you over to them. Obey the message from Yahweh that I am telling you, so that things will go well for you, and so that you will live.

21 Hianagi kagrama kema ontahinka, kagraka'ama atrenka Babiloni vahe zamazampima uofresanana, Ra Anumzamo'a amanahu huno ava'nagna zana naveri hige'na ke'noe.

But if you refuse to go out, this is what Yahweh has shown me.

22 Juda kini ne'mofo nompima mani'naza maka a'nane nagara, ana maka zamavare'za vu'za Babiloni kini ne'mofo eri'za vahe ome zami'naze. Ana hazage'za ana a'nemo'za hu'za, kagrama antahima nezamina ronekamo'za kagrira hara hugagatenere'za regavatga hazagenka zamagri nanekea antahi'nane. Ana hankeno kagiamo'ma hapapima hampakanege'za, kagrira rukrahera hu'za onkage'naze.

Look! All the women who are left in your house, king of Judah, will be brought out to the officials of the king of Babylon. These women will say to you, 'You have been deceived by your friends; they have ruined you. Your feet are now sunk into the mud, and your friends will run away.'

23 Ana maka a'ne naga'kane mofavre nagakanena ana maka zamavare'za vu'za Kaldia vahe ome zamigahaze. Ana hanagenka kagra zamagri zamazampintira zamatrenka ofregahane. Hianagi kagrira Babiloni kini ne'mo'a kaze'nerinige'za ama rankumara teve tagintesageno tegahie.

For all of your wives and children will be brought out to the Chaldeans, and you yourself will not escape from their hand. You will be captured by the hand of the king of Babylon, and this city will be burned.”

24 Hagi anante Zedekaia'a amanage huno Jeremaiana asami'ne. Amama hana nanekea atregeno mago vahe'mo'a ontahino. Vahe'ma zamasamisanana kagra frigahane.

Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “Do not inform anyone about these words, so that you do not die.

25 Hagi kagranema keagama hu'a nanekema nagri eri'za vahe'mo'zama antahisu'za, e'za kagri'ma eme kantahige'za, kagra na'ane hunka hankeno kini ne'mo'a na'ane hifi magore hunka ana nanekea eri frara okinka tasamio. Anama hananketa kagrira kahe ofrigahune hu'za hugahaze.

If the officials hear that I have talked with you, and if they come and say to you, 'Tell us what you said to the king and do not hide it from us, or we will kill you,'

26 E'inahu nanekema hanagenka kagra amanage hunka zamasamio. Nagrama kini ne'ene keagama huana, nagra Jonatani nompima umanine'na fri'zanku ete natrege'na ana nompina ova'neno hu'na antahige'noe hunka zamasamio.

then you must say to them, 'I made a humble plea before the king that he would not return me to the house of Jonathan to die there.'”

27 Hagi anante maka kini ne'mofo eri'za vahe'mo'za Jeremaiante e'za eme antahigageno, kini nemo'ma asami'nea kante anteno agra kenona huzmante'ne. Hige'za Jeremaia'enena mago'ene keaga osu'naze. Na'ankure kini nemo'enema keagama hu'na'a nanekea mago vahe'mo'a ontahitfa hu'negu anara hu'naze.

Then all the officials came to Jeremiah and questioned him, so he answered them as the king had instructed him. So they stopped talking with him, because they had not heard the conversation between Jeremiah and the king.

28 Hagi Jeremaia'a sondia vahe'ma nemaniza kumapima kinama huno nemanifi anampinka mani'nege'za, ha' vahe'mo'za e'za Jerusalemi kumara hara eme hugatere'za eri'naze.

So Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard until the day Jerusalem was captured.
