Jeremia 39
1 Ary rehefa afaka Jerosalema (tamin’ ny volana fahafolo tamin’ ny taona fahasivy nanjakan’ i Zedekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, no nahatongavan’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, sy ny miaramilany rehetra hamely an’ i Jerosalema ka nanao fahirano azy;
In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it.
2 ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahasivy tamin’ ny volana fahefatra tamin’ ny taona fahiraika ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Zedekia, dia nisy voabanga ny tanàna),
And in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, the city was broken up.
3 dia niditra ny mpanapaky ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona rehetra ka nipetraka teo amin’ ny vavahady ampovoany, dia Nergala-sarezera sy Samgarnebo sy Sarsekima. Raba-sarisa, sy Nergala-sarezera Raba-magy, mbamin’ ny sisa rehetra amin’ ny mpanapaky ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona.
And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, even Nergal–sharezer, Samgar–nebo, Sarsechim, Rab–saris, Nergal–sharezer, Rab–mag, with all the residue of the princes of the king of Babylon.
4 Ary rehefa nahita ireo Zedekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, sy ny miaramila rehetra, dia nandositra izy ka lasa nandeha alina niala tao an-tanàna, nahazo ny lalana mankamin’ ny sahan’ ny mpanjaka, tamin’ ny vavahady eo anelanelan’ ny manda roa; ary lasa nivoaka nankany amin’ ny lalana mankeny amin’ ny tani-hay izy.
And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king’s garden, by the gate betwixt the two walls: and he went out the way of the plain.
5 Fa ny miaramilan’ ny Kaldeana nanenjika azy ka nahatratra an’ i Zedekia teny amin’ ny tani-hay any Jeriko; ary nony azony izy, dia nentiny niakatra ho any amin’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, tao Ribla tao amin’ ny tany Hamata; ka dia notsarainy tao izy.
But the Chaldeans’ army pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him.
6 Ary ny zanakalahin’ i Zedekia dia novonoin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona tao Ribla teo imason-drainy; ary ny manan-kaja rehetra tamin’ ny Joda koa dia novonoin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona.
Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah.
7 Ary nopotsiriny ny mason’ i Zedekia, dia nafatony tamin’ ny gadra varahina izy ho entiny any Babylona.
Moreover he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, and bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon.
8 Ary nodoran’ ny Kaldeana tamin’ ny afo ny tranon’ ny mpanjaka sy ny tranon’ ny vahoaka, ary ny mandan’ i Jerosalema noravany.
And the Chaldeans burned the king’s house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem.
9 Ary ny olona sisa tao an-tanàna sy izay efa nanatona azy ary ny vahoaka sisa koa dia nentin’ i Nebozaradana, lehiben’ ny mpiambina, ho babo tany Babylona.
Then Nebuzar–adan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to him, with the rest of the people that remained.
10 Nefa ny olona malahelo izay tsy nanana na inona na inona kosa dia nisy ihany navelan’ i Nebozaradana, lehiben’ ny mpiambina, tao amin’ ny tanin’ ny Joda sady nomeny tanim-boaloboka sy tanimboly tamin’ izany andro izany.
But Nebuzar–adan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, which had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
11 Ary Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, nanome teny an’ i Nebozaradana, lehiben’ ny mpiambina, ny amin’ i Jeremia nanao hoe:
Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzar–adan the captain of the guard, saying,
12 Ento izy, ka tandremo tsara, fa aza asian-dratsy fa araka izay lazainy aminao no ataovy aminy.
Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee.
13 Ary Nebozaradana, lehiben’ ny mpiambina, sy Nebosazbana, Raba-sarisa, sy Nergala-sarezera, Raba-magy, ary ny mpanapaky ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona rehetra
So Nebuzar–adan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushasban, Rab–saris, and Nergal–sharezer, Rab–mag, and all the king of Babylon’s princes;
14 dia naniraka haka an’ i Jeremia teo amin’ ny kianjan’ ny trano fiambenana, ka natolony an’ i Gedalia, zanak’ i Ahikama, zanak’ i Safana, mba ho entiny any an-trano izy, ka dia nitoetra tao amin’ ny olona.
Even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he dwelt among the people.
15 Ary tonga tamin’ i Jeremia ny tenin’ i Jehovah, fony izy mbola voahazona tao amin’ ny kianjan’ ny trano fiambenana ihany, nanao hoe:
Now the word of Yhwh came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying,
16 Mandehana, ka lazao amin’ i Ebeda-meleka Etiopiana hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Indro, hotoviko amin’ ity tanàna ity ny teniko hahatonga loza, fa tsy soa; ary ho tanteraka eo imasonao izany amin’ izany andro izany.
Go and speak to Ebed–melech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith Yhwh of Armies, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished in that day before thee.
17 Nefa hovonjeko ianao amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah, fa tsy mba hatolotra eo an-tànan’ ny olona izay atahoranao.
But I will deliver thee in that day, saith Yhwh: and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid.
18 Fa hovonjeko tokoa ianao ka tsy holavon-tsabatra; eny, ny ainao no ho babonao, satria efa natoky Ahy, hoy Jehovah.
For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith Yhwh.
