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.
In the ninth year of Zedekiah the king of Judah, in the tenth month, that Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it.
2 Bara Zedeqiyaa keessa bultii saglaffaa jiʼa afuraffaa waggaa kudha tokkoffaatti, dallaan magaalaa sanaa ni cabsame.
[And] in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, was the city broken in.
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.
And then came all the princes of the king of Babylon, and sat down in the middle gate; [namely, ] Neregal-sharezer, Samgar-nebu, Sarsechim, the chief of the eunuchs, Neregal-sharezer, the chief of the magi, with all the residue of the princes 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 it came to pass when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, that they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, by the gate between the two walls: and he went out by the way of the plain.
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 army of the Chaldeans pursued after them, and they overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and they took him, and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Chamath: and he called him to account.
6 Mootiin Baabilonis achuma Riiblaatti ijuma isaa duratti ilmaan Zedeqiyaa gorraʼee namoota Yihuudaa bebeekamoo hundas ajjeese.
And the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes; also all the nobles of Judah did the king of Babylon slaughter.
7 Innis ergasii Zedeqiyaa keessaa ija isaa baasee Baabilonitti isa geessuuf foncaa naasiitiin isa hidhe.
And the eyes of Zedekiah did he blind; and he bound him with brazen fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
8 Baabilononnis masaraa mootiitii fi manneen sabaatti ibidda qabsiisanii dallaa Yerusaalem diigan.
And the house of the king, and the houses of the people did the Chaldeans burn with fire, and the walls of Jerusalem did they pull down.
9 Nebuzaradaan ajajaan eegumsaa, namoota magaalaa keessatti hafan, namoota isatti harka kennatanii fi namoota kaan wajjin boojiʼee Baabilonitti geesse.
And the rest of the people that remained in the city, and those who had run away that had run away to him, with the rest of the people that remained, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry off into exile to Babylon.
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 of the poorest of the people, who had nothing, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard leave some in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and arable fields at the same time.
11 Nebukadnezar mootichi Baabilon akkana jedhee karaa Nebuzaradaan ajajaa eegumsaa sanaatiin waaʼee Ermiyaas ajaja kenne:
And Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah through means of Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying,
12 “Isa fuudhiitii akka gaarii kunuunsi; waan inni barbaadu kam iyyuu godhiif malee isa hin miidhin.”
Take him, and direct thy eyes to him, and do him not the least harm; but as he may speak unto thee, even so do thou with him.
13 Kanaafuu Nebuzaradaan ajajaan eegumsaa sun Nebuushazbaan shuumiin hangafti, Nergaal-Sharezer shuumiin ol aanaan, akkasumas qondaaltonni mootii Baabilon kaan hundi
Then sent Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, and Nebushazban, the chief of the eunuchs, and Neregal-sharezer, the chief of the magi, and all the chiefs 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.
Even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and they committed him unto Gedalyahu the son of Achikam the son of Shaphan, to carry him home: and he remained in the midst of the people.
15 Utuma Ermiyaas oobdii eegumsaa keessatti hidhamee jiruu dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara isaa dhufe:
But unto Jeremiah was come the word of the Lord while he was shut up in the court of the prison, 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 Cushi as followeth, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring my words [to fulfillment] against this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished before thee on that day.
17 Ani garuu gaafas sin oolcha, jedha Waaqayyo; ati dabarfamtee warra sodaattu sanatti hin kennamtu.
But I will deliver thee on that day, saith the Lord; and thou shalt not be given up into the hand of the men of whom thou hast dread.
18 Ani sin baasa; ati waan na amanattuuf lubbuu keetiin baata malee goraadeedhaan hin duutu, jedha Waaqayyo.’”
For I will surely let thee escape, and thou shalt not fall by the sword; but thy life shall be unto thee as a booty; because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the Lord.
