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,

Then Shephatiah, the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah, the son of Pashhur, and Jehucal, the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur, the son of Malchiah, heard the words that Jeremiah was speaking to all the people, saying:

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.

“Thus says the Lord: Whoever will remain in this city will die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence. But whoever will flee away from the Chaldeans, will live, and his soul will dwell in safety.

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

Thus says the Lord: This city will certainly be delivered into the hand 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.

And the leaders said to the king: “We petition you to put this man to death. For he is deliberately weakening the hands of the men of war, who have remained in this city, and the hands of the people, by speaking to them with these words. For this man is certainly not seeking peace for this people, but evil.”

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

And king Zedekiah said: “Behold, he is in your hands. For it is not fitting for the king to deny you anything.”

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.

Therefore, they took Jeremiah and cast him into the pit of Malchiah, the son of Amelech, which was at the entrance to the prison. And they lowered Jeremiah by ropes into the pit, in which there was no water, but only mud. And so Jeremiah descended into the mire.

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 Ebedmelech, an Ethiopian man, a eunuch who was in the king’s house, heard that they had sent Jeremiah into the pit, and also that the king was sitting at the gate of Benjamin.

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

And so Ebedmelech departed from the king’s house, and he spoke to the king, saying:

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 done evil in all that they have perpetrated against Jeremiah the prophet, casting him into the pit so that he would die there from famine. 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.

And so the king instructed Ebedmelech, the Ethiopian, saying: “Take with you thirty men from here, and lift Jeremiah the prophet from the pit, 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.

Therefore, Ebedmelech, taking the men with him, entered into the king’s house to a place below the storehouse. And he took from there old garments, no longer in use, and he sent them down by rope to Jeremiah in the pit.

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.

And Ebedmelech, the Ethiopian, said to Jeremiah: “Place these old garments, and these cut and decaying cloths, under your arms and over the ropes.” And 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 up Jeremiah with the ropes, and they led him away from the pit. And Jeremiah remained in the vestibule of the prison.

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.

And king Zedekiah sent and took Jeremiah the prophet to him at the third gate, which was at the house of the Lord. And the king said to Jeremiah: “I will question you about a matter. You shall conceal nothing 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.

Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah: “If I announce to you, will you not put me to death? And if I give you counsel, 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.

Then king Zedekiah swore to Jeremiah, secretly, saying: “As the Lord lives, who made this soul for us, I will not kill you, nor will I deliver you into the hands of those 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,

And Jeremiah said to Zedekiah: “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: If, having set out, you go to the rulers of the king of Babylon, your soul will live, and this city will not be burned with fire. And you and your house will be safe.

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 will not go to the rulers of the king of Babylon, this city will be delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans, and they will burn it with fire. And you will not escape from their hand.”

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.

And king Zedekiah said to Jeremiah: “I am anxious, because of the Jews who have crossed over to the Chaldeans, lest perhaps I may be delivered into their hands, and they may 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.

But Jeremiah responded: “They will not deliver you. Listen, I ask you, to the voice of the Lord, which I am speaking to you, and it will be well with you, and your soul will live.

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

But if you refuse to depart, this is the word that the Lord has revealed to 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.

Behold, all the women who remain in the house of the king of Judah will be led away to the rulers of the king of Babylon. And the women will say: ‘Your men of peacefulness have led you astray, and they have prevailed against you. They have immersed your feet in mud and have set them in a slippery place. And they have withdrawn from 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.

And all your wives and your sons will be led away to the Chaldeans, and you will not escape from their hands. Instead, you will be seized by the hand of the king of Babylon. And he will burn this city with fire.”

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

Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah: “Let no one know of these words, and you will not 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,

But if the leaders hear that I have spoken with you, and if they come to you, and say to you: ‘Tell us what you said to the king. Do not conceal it from us, and we will not put you to death. And tell us what the king said to you,’

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

then you shall say to them: ‘I presented my supplication before the king, so that he would not order me to be led back 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.

Then all the leaders came to Jeremiah, and they questioned him. And he spoke to them in accord with all the words that the king had commanded him. And they withdrew from him, for they had learned nothing.

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

Yet truly, Jeremiah remained at the entrance of the prison, until the day when Jerusalem was seized. And it happened that Jerusalem was captured.
