Yeremyaah 38

1 Shefatyaah ina Mataan, iyo Gedalyaah ina Fashxuur, iyo Yuukal ina Shelemyaah, iyo Fashxuur ina Malkiiyaah waxay maqleen erayadii Yeremyaah ee uu dadka oo dhan kula hadlay, isagoo leh,

Now Shephatiah son of Mattan, Gedaliah son of Pashhur, Jucal son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur son of Malchijah heard that Jeremiah had been telling all the people:

2 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Kii magaaladan sii joogaaba wuxuu ku dhiman doonaa seef, iyo abaar, iyo belaayo, laakiinse kii reer Kaldayiin u baxaa wuu noolaan doonaa, oo naftiisuna waxay isaga u ahaan doontaa sidii booli oo kale, wuuna noolaan doonaa.

“This is what the LORD says: Whoever stays in this city will die by sword and famine and plague, but whoever surrenders to the Chaldeans will live; he will retain his life like a spoil of war, and he will live.

3 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Sida xaqiiqada ah magaaladan waxaa loo gacangelin doonaa ciidanka boqorka Baabuloon, oo isna wuu qabsan doonaa.

This is what the LORD says: This city will surely be delivered into the hands of the army of the king of Babylon, and he will capture it.”

4 Markaas amiirradii waxay boqorkii ku yidhaahdeen, Waannu ku baryaynaaye, Ninkan ha la dilo, waayo, erayadan uu iyaga kula hadlayo aawadood ayuu ku daciifinayaa gacmihii ragga dagaalka ee magaaladan ku hadhay iyo gacmihii dadka kale oo dhanba, waayo, isagu dadkan waxyeelladiisa mooyaane wanaaggiisa dooni maayo.

Then the officials said to the king, “This man ought to die, for he is discouraging the warriors who remain in this city, as well as all the people, by speaking such words to them; this man is not seeking the well-being of these people, but their ruin.”

5 Markaasaa Boqor Sidqiyaah yidhi, Bal eega, isagu gacantiinnuu ku jiraa, waayo, boqorku innaba ma aha mid wax idinka gees ah samayn kara.

“Here he is,” replied King Zedekiah. “He is in your hands, since the king can do nothing to stop you.”

6 Markaasay Yeremyaah soo qabteen oo ku dhex rideen godkii Malkiiyaah ina Hammeleg, ee barxadda waardiyayaasha ku dhex yiil, oo Yeremyaah xadhkay ku dejiyeen, oo godkiina biyo kuma jirin, laakiinse waxaa ka buuxday dhoobo, sidaas daraaddeed Yeremyaah dhoobaduu ku dhex tiimbaday.

So they took Jeremiah and dropped him into the cistern of Malchiah, the king’s son, which was in the courtyard of the guard. They lowered Jeremiah with ropes into the cistern, which had no water but only mud, and Jeremiah sank down into the mud.

7 Haddaba Cebedmeleg oo ahaa reer Itoobiya oo ahaa bohon guriga boqorka joogay, markuu maqlay inay Yeremyaah godkii ku dhex rideen, iyadoo boqorkii uu iridda Benyaamiin fadhiyo,

Now Ebed-melech the Cushite, a court official in the royal palace, heard that Jeremiah had been put into the cistern. While the king was sitting at the Gate of Benjamin,

8 ayuu gurigii boqorka ka soo baxay, oo boqorkuu la hadlay, isagoo ku leh,

Ebed-melech went out from the king’s palace and said to the king,

9 Boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, nimankanu si xun bay u sameeyeen wax alla wixii ay ku sameeyeen Nebi Yeremyaah, kaasoo ay godkii ku dhex rideen, oo waxaa suurtowda inuu abaarta ugu bakhtiyo meeshuu ku jiro, waayo, innaba magaalada kibisu kuma jirto.

“My lord the king, these men have acted wickedly in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet. They have dropped him into the cistern, where he will starve to death, for there is no more bread in the city.”

10 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu amray Cebedmeleg oo reer Itoobiya ahaa, isagoo ku leh, Halkan soddon nin ka kaxayso oo Nebi Yeremyaah godka ka soo bixi intuusan dhiman.

So the king commanded Ebed-melech the Cushite, “Take thirty men from here with you and pull Jeremiah the prophet out of the cistern before he dies.”

11 Sidaas daraaddeed ayaa Cebedmeleg raggii kaxaystay, oo gurigii boqorka galay, oo wuxuu tegey meel khasnadda ka hoosaysay, oo halkaasuu ka qaaday calallo haylamo ah iyo dhar duugoobay, oo intuu xadhko ku xidhay ayuu Yeremyaah godkii ugu dejiyey.

Then Ebed-melech took the men with him and went to the king’s palace, to a place below the storehouse. From there he took old rags and worn-out clothes and lowered them with ropes to Jeremiah in the cistern.

12 Markaas Cebedmeleg oo reer Itoobiya ahaa wuxuu Yeremyaah ku yidhi, Calalladan haylamaha ah iyo dharkan duugoobay kilkilooyinka kaga xidho xadhkaha hoostooda, oo Yeremyaahna saasuu yeelay.

Ebed-melech the Cushite cried out to Jeremiah, “Put these worn-out rags and clothes under your arms to pad the ropes.” Jeremiah did so,

13 Markaasay Yeremyaah xadhkihii ku soo jiideen oo godkii bay kor uga soo bixiyeen, oo Yeremyaahna wuxuu ku hadhay barxaddii waardiyayaasha.

and they pulled him up with the ropes and lifted him out of the cistern. And Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard.

14 Markaasaa Boqor Sidqiyaah u soo cid diray oo kaxaystay Nebi Yeremyaah, oo wuxuu gaystay iriddii saddexaad ee guriga Rabbiga. Kolkaas boqorkii wuxuu Yeremyaah ku yidhi, Wax baan ku weyddiinayaaye, inna waxba ha iga qarinin.

Then King Zedekiah sent for Jeremiah the prophet and received him at the third entrance to the house of the LORD. “I am going to ask you something,” said the king to Jeremiah. “Do not hide anything from me.”

15 Markaas Yeremyaah wuxuu Sidqiyaah ku yidhi, Haddaan kuu sheego, hubaal miyaadan i dili doonin? Oo haddaan kula taliyona innaba ima maqli doontid.

“If I tell you,” Jeremiah replied, “you will surely put me to death. And even if I give you advice, you will not listen to me.”

16 Markaas Boqor Sidqiyaah si qarsoodi ah ayuu Yeremyaah ugu dhaartay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Rabbiga nool ee naf ina siiyey ayaan ku dhaaranayaa inaanan ku dili doonin, ama aanan gacanta raggan naftaada doondoonaya kugu ridi doonin.

But King Zedekiah swore secretly to Jeremiah, “As surely as the LORD lives, who has given us this life, I will not kill you, nor will I deliver you into the hands of these men who are seeking your life.”

17 Markaas Yeremyaah wuxuu Sidqiyaah ku yidhi, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Haddaad amiirrada boqorka Baabuloon u baxdid, naftaada iyo reerkaaguba way noolaan doonaan, oo magaaladanna dab laguma gubi doono,

Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “This is what the LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘If you indeed surrender to the officers of the king of Babylon, then you will live, this city will not be burned down, and you and your household will survive.

18 laakiinse haddaadan amiirrada boqorka Baabuloon u bixin, markaas magaaladan waxaa lagu ridi doonaa gacanta reer Kaldayiin, oo dab bay ku gubi doonaan, adiguna gacantooda kama baxsan doontid.

But if you do not surrender to the officers of the king of Babylon, then this city will be delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans. They will burn it down, and you yourself will not escape their grasp.’”

19 Markaas Sidqiyaah wuxuu Yeremyaah ku yidhi, Waxaan ka cabsanayaa Yuhuuddii reer Kaldayiin u gashay waaba intaasoo ay gacantooda i geliyaan oo ay iyana igu majaajiloodaan.

But King Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “I am afraid of the Jews who have deserted to the Chaldeans, for the Chaldeans may deliver me into their hands to abuse me.”

20 Laakiinse Yeremyaah wuxuu ku yidhi, Iyagu kuma ay gacangelin doonaan. Waan ku baryayaaye addeec codka Rabbiga ee aan kugula hadlay, waanad nabdoonaan doontaa oo naftaaduna way sii noolaan doontaa.

“They will not hand you over,” Jeremiah replied. “Obey the voice of the LORD in what I am telling you, that it may go well with you and you may live.

21 Laakiinse haddaad diiddo inaad baxdo, kanu waa eraygii Rabbigu i tusay,

But if you refuse to surrender, this is the word that the LORD has shown me:

22 Bal ogow, naagaha guriga boqorka dalka Yahuudah ku hadhay dhammaantood waxaa loo bixin doonaa amiirrada boqorka Baabuloon, oo naagahaasi waxay odhan doonaan, Saaxiibbadaa ayaa ku khiyaaneeyey oo way kaa adkaadeen oo haddana cagahaagii waxay ku dhex tiimbadeen dhoobada, oo iyana dib bay kaaga noqdeen.

All the women who remain in the palace of the king of Judah will be brought out to the officials of the king of Babylon, and those women will say: ‘They misled you and overcame you— those trusted friends of yours. Your feet sank into the mire, and they deserted you.’

23 Markaasay naagahaaga oo dhan iyo carruurtaadaba reer Kaldayiin u bixin doonaan, oo adiguna gacantooda sina ugama baxsan doontid, laakiinse waxaa ku qabsan doonta gacanta boqorka Baabuloon, oo magaaladanna dab baa lagu gubi doonaa.

All your wives and children will be brought out to the Chaldeans. And you yourself will not escape their grasp, for you will be seized by the king of Babylon, and this city will be burned down.”

24 Markaas Sidqiyaah wuxuu Yeremyaah ku yidhi, Ninna yuusan erayadan ogaanin, oo adiguna dhiman maysid.

Then Zedekiah warned Jeremiah, “Do not let anyone know about this conversation, or you will die.

25 Laakiinse hadday amiirradu maqlaan inaan kula hadlay, oo ay kuu yimaadaan oo ay kugu yidhaahdaan, Wixii aad boqorka ku tidhi noo sheeg, oo weliba wixii boqorku kugu yidhi ha naga qarin, oo annana ku dili mayno,

If the officials hear that I have spoken with you, and they come and demand of you, ‘Tell us what you said to the king and what he said to you; do not hide it from us, or we will kill you,’

26 markaas waxaad iyaga ku tidhaahdaa, Baryootankaygii ayaan boqorka hor dhigay, inuusan gurigii Yoonaataan igu celin, oo aanan halkaas ugu dhiman.

then tell them, ‘I was presenting to the king my petition that he not return me to the house of Jonathan to die there.’”

27 Markaasay amiirradii oo dhammu Yeremyaah u yimaadeen oo wax bay weyddiiyeen, oo isna wuxuu u wada sheegay erayadii boqorku ku amray oo dhan. Markaasay lahadliddiisii iska daayeen, waayo, xaalkaas ciduna ma maqlin.

When all the officials came to Jeremiah and questioned him, he relayed to them the exact words the king had commanded him to say. So they said no more to him, for no one had overheard the conversation.

28 Oo Yeremyaah wuxuu joogay barxaddii waardiyayaasha ilaa maalintii Yeruusaalem la qabsaday.

And Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard until the day Jerusalem was captured.
