Ermiyaas 39
1 Akki Yerusaalem itti fudhatamte kana ture: Bara Zedeqiyaa Mooticha Yihuudaa keessa jiʼa kurnaffaa waggaa saglaffaatti, Nebukadnezar mootichi Baabilon loltoota isaa hunda wajjin duulee Yerusaalemin marse.
And it came about, that when Jerusalem was taken, (in the ninth year of Zedekiah, king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, with all his army, came against Jerusalem, shutting it in on every side;
2 Bara Zedeqiyaa keessa bultii saglaffaa jiʼa afuraffaa waggaa kudha tokkoffaatti, dallaan magaalaa sanaa ni cabsame.
In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, the town was broken into: )
3 Ergasii qondaaltonni mootii Baabilon hundi dhufanii Karra Giddu Galeessa dura tataaʼan; isaanis Nergaal-Sharezer namicha Samgaar, Neboo-Sarsekiim ajajaa hangafa, Nergaal-Sharezer shuumii hangafaa fi qondaaltota mootii Baabilon hundaa dha.
All the captains of the king of Babylon came in and took their places in the middle doorway of the town, Nergal-shar-ezer, ruler of Sin-magir, the Rabmag, and Nebushazban, the Rab-saris, and all the captains of the king of Babylon.
4 Zedeqiyaa Mooticha Yihuudaatii fi loltoonni hundi yommuu jara arganitti ni baqatan; isaanis halkaniin karaa biqiltuu mootichaatiin magaalaa keessaa baʼanii karra dallaa lamaan gidduutiin gara Arabbaatti qajeelan.
And when Zedekiah, king of Judah, and all the men of war saw it, they went in flight from the town by night, by the way of the king's garden, through the doorway between the two walls: and they went out by the Arabah.
5 Loltoonni Baabilonotaa garuu isaan ariʼanii dirree Yerikoo irratti Zedeqiyaa in qaqqaban. Isaanis isa qabanii Riiblaa Hamaati keessatti gara Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabilonitti geessan; mootichis achitti isatti mure.
But the Chaldaean army went after them and overtook Zedekiah in the lowlands of Jericho: and they made him a prisoner and took him up to Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, to Riblah in the land of Hamath, to be judged by him.
6 Mootiin Baabilonis achuma Riiblaatti ijuma isaa duratti ilmaan Zedeqiyaa gorraʼee namoota Yihuudaa bebeekamoo hundas ajjeese.
Then the king of Babylon put the sons of Zedekiah to death before his eyes in Riblah: and the king of Babylon put to death all the great men of Judah.
7 Innis ergasii Zedeqiyaa keessaa ija isaa baasee Baabilonitti isa geessuuf foncaa naasiitiin isa hidhe.
And more than this, he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and had him put in chains to take him away to Babylon.
8 Baabilononnis masaraa mootiitii fi manneen sabaatti ibidda qabsiisanii dallaa Yerusaalem diigan.
And the Chaldaeans put the king's house on fire, as well as the houses of the people, and had the walls of Jerusalem broken down.
9 Nebuzaradaan ajajaan eegumsaa, namoota magaalaa keessatti hafan, namoota isatti harka kennatanii fi namoota kaan wajjin boojiʼee Baabilonitti geesse.
Then Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took away to Babylon as prisoners, all the rest of the workmen who were still in the town, as well as those who had given themselves up to him, and all the rest of the people.
10 Nebuzaradaan ajajaan eegumsaa sun garuu hiyyeeyyii homaa hin qabne tokko tokko biyya Yihuudaatti hambise; innis yeroo sanatti iddoo dhaabaa wayiniitii fi lafa qotiisaa kenneef.
But Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, let the poorest of the people, who had nothing whatever, go on living in the land of Judah, and gave them vine-gardens and fields at the same time.
11 Nebukadnezar mootichi Baabilon akkana jedhee karaa Nebuzaradaan ajajaa eegumsaa sanaatiin waaʼee Ermiyaas ajaja kenne:
Now Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, gave orders about Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, saying,
12 “Isa fuudhiitii akka gaarii kunuunsi; waan inni barbaadu kam iyyuu godhiif malee isa hin miidhin.”
Take him and keep an eye on him and see that no evil comes to him; but do with him whatever he says to you.
13 Kanaafuu Nebuzaradaan ajajaan eegumsaa sun Nebuushazbaan shuumiin hangafti, Nergaal-Sharezer shuumiin ol aanaan, akkasumas qondaaltonni mootii Baabilon kaan hundi
So Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, sent Nebushazban, the Rab-saris, and Nergal-shar-ezer, the Rabmag, and all the chief captains of the king of Babylon,
14 ergamanii oobdii eegumsaa keessaa Ermiyaasin baasisan. Isaanis akka Gedaaliyaas ilmi Shaafaan, ilmi Ahiiqaam mana isaatti isa geessuuf imaanaa itti kennan. Ermiyaasis akkasiin saba ofii isaa keessa jiraate.
And they sent and took Jeremiah out of the place of the watchmen, and gave him into the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, to take him to his house: so he was living among the people.
15 Utuma Ermiyaas oobdii eegumsaa keessatti hidhamee jiruu dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara isaa dhufe:
Now the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah while he was shut up in the place of the armed watchmen, saying,
16 “Dhaqiitii Ebeed-Melek namicha Itoophiyaa sanaan akkana jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Ani dubbii koo waan tolaadhaaf utuu hin taʼin waan hamaadhaaf magaalaa kana irratti fiixaan nan baasa. Yeroo sanatti wanni kun ijuma kee duratti fiixaan baʼa.
Go and say to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: See, my words will come true for this town, for evil and not for good: they will come about before your eyes on that day.
17 Ani garuu gaafas sin oolcha, jedha Waaqayyo; ati dabarfamtee warra sodaattu sanatti hin kennamtu.
But I will keep you safe on that day, says the Lord: you will not be given into the hands of the men you are fearing.
18 Ani sin baasa; ati waan na amanattuuf lubbuu keetiin baata malee goraadeedhaan hin duutu, jedha Waaqayyo.’”
For I will certainly let you go free, and you will not be put to the sword, but your life will be given to you out of the hands of your attackers: because you have put your faith in me, says the Lord.
