< UJeremiya 38 >

1 UShefathiya indodana kaMathani, loGedaliya indodana kaPashuri, loJukali indodana kaShelemiya, loPashuri indodana kaMalikiya, sebezwile amazwi uJeremiya ayewakhuluma kubo bonke abantu esithi:
Shefatia wuod Matan, Gedalia wuod Pashur, Jehukal wuod Shelemia, kod Pashur wuod Malkija nowinjo gima Jeremia ne nyiso ji duto sa mane owacho ni,
2 Itsho njalo iNkosi: Osala kulumuzi uzakufa ngenkemba, ngendlala, langomatshayabhuqe wesifo; kodwa ophuma aye kumaKhaladiya uzaphila, ngoba uzakuba lempilo yakhe ibe yimpango, aphile.
“Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: ‘Ngʼato angʼata modak e dala maduongʼni noneg gi ligangla, kech kata masira, to ngʼato angʼata manodhi ir jo-Babulon nobed mangima. Notony gi ngimane; mi nobed mangima.’
3 Itsho njalo iNkosi: Lumuzi uzanikelwa isibili esandleni sebutho lenkosi yeBhabhiloni, elizawuthumba.
Kendo ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: ‘Dala maduongʼni nyaka chiwne jolweny mar ruodh Babulon ma nokawe.’”
4 Iziphathamandla zasezisithi enkosini: Ake abulawe lumuntu, ngoba ngalindlela uyekethisa izandla zamadoda empi asele kulumuzi, lezandla zabo bonke abantu, ngokukhuluma kibo amazwi anje; ngoba lumuntu kadingi ukuthula kwalababantu, kodwa okubi.
Eka jotelo nowachone ruoth niya, “Ngʼatni onego negi. Onyoso chuny jolweny modongʼ e dala maduongʼ ni, kaachiel gi ji duto, gi gigo mowachonegi. Ngʼatni ok dwar dhi maber mar jogi to mana kethruokgi.”
5 Inkosi uZedekhiya yasisithi: Khangela, usesandleni senu, ngoba inkosi kayilakho okuphambene lani ngalutho.
Ruoth Zedekia nowacho niya, “En e lwetu. Onge gima ruoth nyalo timo mondo okwed wachu.”
6 Basebemthatha uJeremiya, bamphosela emgodini kaMalikiya indodana yenkosi, owawusegumeni lentolongo, bamehlisa uJeremiya ngamagoda; kwakungelamanzi emgodini, kodwa udaka; uJeremiya wasetshona odakeni.
Omiyo negikawo Jeremia ma giketo e bur mar Malkija, wuod ruoth, mane nitiere e laru mar jarito. Ne giloro Jeremia gi tonde ei burno; ne onge pi e iye, chwodho ema ne nitie, kendo Jeremia nonimo ei chwodho.
7 Kwathi uEbedimeleki umEthiyophiya indoda umthenwa, owayesendlini yenkosi, esizwa ukuthi uJeremiya bamfake emgodini (lapho inkosi yayihlezi esangweni lakoBhenjamini),
To Ebed-Melek, ja-Kush, ma jatelo e kar dak ruoth, nowinjo nine giseketo Jeremia ei bur. Ka ruoth ne obet e Dhoranga Benjamin,
8 uEbedimeleki waphuma endlini yenkosi, wakhuluma lenkosi esithi:
Ebed-Melek nowuok oa e kar dak ruoth kendo owachone ni,
9 Nkosi yami, nkosi, abantu laba benzile okubi ngakho konke abakwenze kuJeremiya umprofethi, abamphosele emgodini, ngoba uzakufa endaweni yakhe ngenxa yendlala, ngoba kakusekho isinkwa emzini.
“Jaduongʼ ma ruodha, jogi osetimo gima mono kuom gigo duto magisetimone janabi Jeremia. Giwite e bur, kama kech biro nege motho ka makati duto orumo e dala maduongʼ.”
10 Inkosi yasimlaya uEbedimeleki umEthiyophiya, isithi: Thatha lapha amadoda angamatshumi amathathu ngaphansi kwesandla sakho, umenyule uJeremiya umprofethi emgodini engakafi.
Eka ruoth nomiyo Ebed-Melek ja-Kush chik, “Kaw chwo piero adek koa kae kendo ugol janabi Jeremia e bur kapok otho.”
11 Ngakho uEbedimeleki wathatha amadoda ngaphansi kwesandla sakhe, wangena endlini yenkosi waze waba ngaphansi kwesiphala, wathatha khona izidwedwe ezidabukileyo lezidwedwe ezigugileyo, wazehlisela kuJeremiya emgodini ngamagoda.
Omiyo Ebed-Melek nokawo jogo kendo odhigo e agola manie bwo kar keno mar dala ruoth. Ne okawo lewni moyiech kod lewni moti kanyo kendo nolorogi piny gi tol ne Jeremia ei bur.
12 UEbedimeleki umEthiyophiya wasesithi kuJeremiya: Ake ufake izidwedwe ezidabukileyo lezigugileyo ngaphansi kwamakhwapha akho ngaphansi kwamagoda. UJeremiya wasesenza njalo.
Ebed-Melek ja-Kush nowacho ne Jeremia niya, “Ket lewni mokengoregi kod lewni moti e yuothi mondo kik tol ridhi.” Jeremia notimo kamano,
13 Basebemdonsa uJeremiya ngamagoda, bamenyula emgodini. UJeremiya wasehlala egumeni lentolongo.
mine giywaye gi tol ma gigole oko mar bur. Kendo Jeremia nodongʼ e laru mar jarito.
14 Inkosi uZedekhiya yasithuma yathatha uJeremiya umprofethi yamusa kuye, ekungeneni kwesithathu okusendlini yeNkosi. Inkosi yasisithi kuJeremiya: Ngizakubuza udaba, ungangifihleli lutho.
Eka Ruoth Zedekia nooro wach mondo okelne janabi Jeremia kendo nokelnego e kar donjo mar adek mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye. Ruoth nowachone niya, “Adhi penji gimoro. Kik ipanda wach.”
15 UJeremiya wasesithi kuZedekhiya: Uba ngikutshela, kawuyikungibulala lokungibulala yini? Loba ngikweluleka, kawuyikungilalela.
Jeremia nowachone Zedekia niya, “Ka adwoki, donge ibiro nega? Kata ka anangʼadni rieko, bende iniwinja.”
16 Inkosi uZedekhiya yasifunga kuJeremiya ekusithekeni isithi: Kuphila kukaJehova owasenzela lumphefumulo: Isibili kangiyikukubulala, futhi isibili kangiyikukunikela esandleni salamadoda adinga umphefumulo wakho.
To Ruoth Zedekia nokwongʼore gi kwongʼruokni lingʼ-lingʼ ne Jeremia: “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima, mosemiyowa muya, ok ananegi kata chiwi ne jogo madwaro ngimani.”
17 UJeremiya wasesithi kuZedekhiya: Itsho njalo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Uba uphuma isibili uye kuziphathamandla zenkosi yeBhabhiloni, umphefumulo wakho uzaphila, lalumuzi kawuyikutshiswa ngomlilo; uzaphila wena lendlu yakho.
Eka Jeremia nowachone Zedekia niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: ‘Ka ichiwori ne jotelo mag ruodh Babulon, ngimani noweni kendo dala maduongʼni ok nowangʼ, in kod joodi unubed mangima.
18 Kodwa uba ungaphumi uye kuziphathamandla zenkosi yeBhabhiloni, lumuzi uzanikelwa esandleni samaKhaladiya, awutshise ngomlilo; lawe kawuyikuphunyuka esandleni sawo.
To ka ok ichiwori ne jotend ruodh Babulon, dala maduongʼni nomi jo-Babulon kendo giniwangʼe; un uwegi ok unutony e lwetgi.’”
19 Inkosi uZedekhiya yasisithi kuJeremiya: Ngiyawesaba amaJuda ahlubukele kumaKhaladiya, hlezi anginikele esandleni sawo, angiklolodele.
Ruoth Zedekia nowachone Jeremia niya, “Aluoro jo-Yahudi mosedhi ir jo-Babulon, nimar jo-Babulon nyalo chiwa e lwetgi mi gisanda.”
20 UJeremiya wasesithi: Kawayikukunikela; ake ulalele ilizwi leNkosi njengalelo engilikhuluma kuwe, khona kukulungele, futhi umphefumulo wakho uzaphila.
Jeremia nodwoke niya, “Ok ginichiwi.” Luor Jehova Nyasaye kitimo gima anyisi. Eka inine maber, kendo ngimani noweni.
21 Kodwa uba usala ukuphuma, yileli ilizwi iNkosi engibonise lona lokuthi:
To ka itamori chiwori, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye osefwenyona:
22 Khangela-ke, bonke abesifazana abasele endlini yenkosi yakoJuda bazakhitshelwa kuziphathamandla zenkosi yeBhabhiloni, bathi: Abangane bakho bakukhuthazile, bakwehlula; inyawo zakho zitshone odakeni; babuyele emuva.
Mon duto mane odongʼ kar dak mar ruodh Juda nokelne jotelo mar ruodh Babulon. Mon-go nowachni ni: Osiepegi mane igenogo nowuondi kendo noloyi. Tiendegi oselingʼore e chwodho; osiepegi oseweyi.
23 Njalo azakhuphela abafazi bonke bakho lamadodana akho kumaKhaladiya; lawe kawuyikuphunyuka esandleni sawo, kodwa uzabanjwa ngesandla senkosi yeBhabhiloni, lalumuzi uzawutshisa ngomlilo.
“Mondeu duto kod nyithindu nokelne jo-Babulon. Un uwegi ok unutony e lwetgi to enomaku gi ruodh Babulon; kendo dala maduongʼni nowangʼ mapodhi.”
24 UZedekhiya wasesithi kuJeremiya: Kakungabi khona umuntu owaziyo lamazwi, khona ungayikufa.
Eka Zedekia nowachone Jeremia niya, “Kik iwe ngʼato ongʼe twak-wani, ka ok kamano to inyalo tho.
25 Kodwa nxa iziphathamandla zisizwa ukuthi ngikhulume lawe, zize kuwe zithi kuwe: Ake usitshele, ubusithini enkosini, ungakufihli kithi, khona kasiyikukubulala; njalo inkosi ikhulumeni kuwe;
Ka jotelo owinjo nine awuoyo kodi, kendo gibiro iri ma giwacho, ‘Nyiswa gima ne iwachone ruoth kendo gima ruoth nowachoni; kik ipandwa ka ok kamano to wabiro negi,’
26 uzakuthi-ke kuzo: Mina ngiwise ukuncenga kwami phambi kwenkosi ukuthi ingangibuyiseli endlini kaJonathani ukuze ngifele khona.
to nyisgi ni, ‘Ne asayo ruoth mondo kik oora adog e od Jonathan mondo atho kanyo.’”
27 Zasezifika zonke iziphathamandla kuJeremiya, zambuza; yena waziphendula njengawo wonke lamazwi inkosi ewalayileyo. Zasezithula kuye, ngoba udaba lwalungezwakali.
Jotelo duto nobiro ir Jeremia mi gipenje, kendo nonyisogi gik moko duto mane ruoth ochike mondo awachi. Omiyo onge gima negichako ginyise, nimar onge ngʼama nowinjo twakgi gi ruoth.
28 UJeremiya wasehlala egumeni lentolongo kwaze kwaba lusuku iJerusalema eyathunjwa ngalo; wayekhona lapho iJerusalema ithunjwa.
Kendo Jeremia nodongʼ e laru mar jarito nyaka odiechiengʼ ma Jerusalem nokaw. Ma e kaka Jerusalem ne okaw:
