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, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his force have come to Jerusalem, and they lay siege against 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),
in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth of the month, the city has been 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 heads of the king of Babylon come in, and they sit at the middle gate, Nergal-Sharezer, Samgar-Nebo, Sarsechim, Rab-Saris, Nergal-Sharezer, chief magus, and all the rest of the heads 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 comes to pass, when Zedekiah king of Judah and all the men of war have seen them, that they flee and go forth by night from the city, the way of the king’s garden, through the gate between the two walls, and he goes forth 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.
And the forces of the Chaldeans pursue after them, and overtake Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and they take him, and bring him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, to Riblah, in the land of Hamath, and he speaks with him—judgments.
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.
And the king of Babylon slaughters the sons of Zedekiah, in Riblah, before his eyes, indeed, the king of Babylon has slaughtered all the nobles of Judah.
7 Ary nopotsiriny ny mason’ i Zedekia, dia nafatony tamin’ ny gadra varahina izy ho entiny any Babylona.
And he has blinded the eyes of Zedekiah, and he binds him with bronze chains to bring 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 house of the king, and the house of the people, the Chaldeans have burned with fire, and they have broken 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.
And the remnant of the people who are left in the city, and those defecting who have defected to him, and the remnant of the people who are left, Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, has removed [to] Babylon.
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.
And Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, has left in the land of Judah the poor people who have nothing, and he gives vineyards and fields to them in that day.
11 Ary Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, nanome teny an’ i Nebozaradana, lehiben’ ny mpiambina, ny amin’ i Jeremia nanao hoe:
And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon gives a charge concerning Jeremiah, by the hand of Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, saying,
12 Ento izy, ka tandremo tsara, fa aza asian-dratsy fa araka izay lazainy aminao no ataovy aminy.
“Take him, and place your eyes on him, and do no evil thing to him, but as he speaks to you, so do with him.”
13 Ary Nebozaradana, lehiben’ ny mpiambina, sy Nebosazbana, Raba-sarisa, sy Nergala-sarezera, Raba-magy, ary ny mpanapaky ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona rehetra
And Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, sends, and Nebushazban, chief of the eunuchs, and Nergal-Sharezer, chief magus, and all the chiefs of the king of Babylon,
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.
indeed, they send and take Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and give him to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, to carry him home, and he dwells in the midst of 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:
And a word of YHWH has been to Jeremiah—in his being detained 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 you have spoken to Ebed-Melech the Cushite, saying, Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing in My words to this city for calamity, and not for good, and they have been before you in that day.
17 Nefa hovonjeko ianao amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah, fa tsy mba hatolotra eo an-tànan’ ny olona izay atahoranao.
And I have delivered you in that day—a declaration of YHWH—and you are not given into the hand of the men of whose face you are afraid,
18 Fa hovonjeko tokoa ianao ka tsy holavon-tsabatra; eny, ny ainao no ho babonao, satria efa natoky Ahy, hoy Jehovah.
for I certainly deliver you, and you do not fall by sword, and your life has been to you for a spoil, for you have trusted in Me—a declaration of YHWH.”
