Yǝrǝmiya 40
1 Ⱪarawul begi Nebuzar-Adan uni Ramaⱨ xǝⱨiridin ⱪoyuwǝtkǝndǝ, Pǝrwǝrdigar Yǝrǝmiyaƣa sɵz ⱪildi. U qaƣda Nebuzar-Adan Yerusalem ⱨǝm Yǝⱨudadiki barliⱪ ǝsirlǝrni elip Babilƣa sürgün ⱪilmaⱪqi idi; Yǝrǝmiyamu ularning arisida zǝnjir bilǝn baƣlanƣan ⱨalda elip mengilƣanidi.
[The soldiers from Babylonia] captured me and many other people from Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah. They [planned to] take us to Babylon. So they fastened chains around our wrists and took us to Ramah [town north of Jerusalem]. While we were there, I was released. [This is how it happened]:
2 Ⱪarawul begi Yǝrǝmiyani bir qǝtkǝ tartip uningƣa mundaⱪ dedi: «Pǝrwǝrdigar Hudaying muxu yǝrgǝ balayi’apǝt qüxürimǝn dǝp agaⱨlandurdi;
[Nebuzaradan, ] the captain of the [king’s] bodyguards, [found that I was there]. He summoned me and said to me, “Yahweh your God said that he would cause this land to experience a disaster.
3 Mana, Pǝrwǝrdigar Ɵz degini boyiqǝ xundaⱪ ⱪilip uni kǝltürdi; qünki silǝr Pǝrwǝrdigar aldida gunaⱨ sadir ⱪilƣansilǝr wǝ uning awaziƣa ⱪulaⱪ salmiƣansilǝr; xunga bu ix bexinglarƣa qüxti.
And now he has caused it to happen. He has done just what he said [that he would do], because you people sinned against Yahweh and refused to obey him.
4 Lekin mǝn ⱪolungni ixkǝllǝngǝn zǝnjirlǝrdin yexip seni ⱪoyuwetimǝn; mǝn bilǝn billǝ Babilƣa berix sanga muwapiⱪ kɵrünsǝ, ⱪeni kǝl, mǝn sǝndin hǝwǝr alimǝn; ǝmma mǝn bilǝn billǝ Babilƣa berixni muwapiⱪ ǝmǝs dǝp ⱪarisang, kerǝk yoⱪ. Mana, pütkül zemin aldingda turidu; ⱪǝyǝrgǝ berix sanga layiⱪ, durus kɵrünsǝ xu yǝrgǝ barƣin».
But today I am going to take the chains off your wrists and release you. If you want to come with me to Babylon, [that will be fine]. I will take care of you. But if you do not want to come with me, do not come. [Stay here]. Look, the entire country is available; you can choose whatever part you want to go to. You can go wherever you wish.” [Then he took the chains off my wrists].
5 Yǝrǝmiya tehi yenidin mangmay turup, Nebuzar-Adan uningƣa: «Boldi, Xafanning nǝwrisi, Aⱨikamning oƣli Gǝdaliyaning yeniƣa ⱪayt; Babil padixaⱨi uni Yǝⱨudadiki xǝⱨǝrlǝrgǝ ⱨɵkümranliⱪ ⱪilixⱪa bǝlgiligǝn; hǝlⱪ arisida uning bilǝn billǝ turiwǝr, yaki ⱨǝrⱪandaⱪ baxⱪa yǝrgǝ baray desǝng xu yǝrgǝ barƣin» — dedi. Xuning bilǝn ⱪarawul begi uningƣa ozuⱪ-tülük ⱨǝmdǝ bir sowƣat berip uni ⱪoyuwǝtti.
He said, “If you [decide to] stay here, go to Gedaliah. The King of Babylon appointed him to be the governor of Judah. [You will be allowed to] stay here with the people [that he is governing]. But you can do whatever you want to.” Then Nebuzaradan gave me some food and some money, and he allowed me to go.
6 Xuning bilǝn Yǝrǝmiya Mizpaⱨ xǝⱨirigǝ, Xafanning nǝwrisi, Aⱨikamning oƣli Gǝdaliyaning yeniƣa kǝldi; u uning bilǝn billǝ, puⱪralar arisida turdi.
I returned to Gedaliah at Mizpah, and I stayed in Judah with the people who still remained in the land.
7 Dalada ⱪalƣan Yǝⱨudaning lǝxkǝr baxliⱪliri ⱨǝm lǝxkǝrliri Babil padixaⱨining Xafanning nǝwrisi, Aⱨikamning oƣli Gǝdaliyani zemin üstigǝ ⱨɵkümranliⱪ ⱪilixⱪa bǝlgiligǝnlikini, xuningdǝk uningƣa Babilƣa sürgün bolmiƣan zemindiki yoⱪsul ǝr-ayallar bala-qaⱪiliri bilǝn tapxurulƣanliⱪini anglap ⱪaldi;
The [Israeli] soldiers [who had not surrendered to the army of Babylonia] were roaming around in the countryside. Then their leaders heard someone say that the King of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah to be the governor of the very poor people [who were still in Judah], who had not been taken to Babylon.
8 xuning bilǝn bu lǝxkǝr baxliⱪliri adǝmliri bilǝn Mizpaⱨ xǝⱨirigǝ, Gǝdaliyaning yeniƣa kǝldi; baxliⱪliri bolsa Nǝtaniyaning oƣli Ixmail, Kareaⱨning oƣulliri Yoⱨanan ⱨǝm Yonatan, Tanhumǝtning oƣli Seraya, Nǝtofatliⱪ Əfayning oƣulliri wǝ Maakatliⱪ birsining oƣli Yǝzaniya idi.
So they went [to talk] to Gedaliah at Mizpah. [Those who went included] Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, the sons of Ephai from Netophath, and Jezaniah from Maacah, and the soldiers who were with them.
9 Xafanning nǝwrisi, Aⱨikamning oƣli Gǝdaliya ular wǝ adǝmlirigǝ: «Kaldiylǝrgǝ beⱪinixtin ⱪorⱪmanglar; zeminda olturaⱪlixip Babil padixaⱨiƣa beⱪininglar, xundaⱪ ⱪilsanglar silǝrgǝ yahxi bolidu.
Gedaliah solemnly promised that the soldiers from Babylonia would not harm them. He said, “Do not be afraid to do things for them. Stay [here] in this land and do things for the King of Babylon. If you do that, things will go well for you.
10 Mǝn bolsam Kaldiylǝr zeminƣa kǝlgǝndǝ [silǝrgǝ] wǝkil bolup ularning aldida turux üqün Mizpaⱨ xǝⱨiridǝ turimǝn; silǝr bolsanglar, xarab, ǝnjür-hormilar wǝ zǝytun meyi mǝⱨsulatlirini elip küp-idixinglarƣa ⱪoyunglar, ɵzünglar tutⱪan xǝⱨǝrlǝrdǝ turiweringlar» — dǝp ⱪǝsǝm iqti.
As for me, I will stay [here] at Mizpah to be your representative to the [officials from] Babylonia who come to [talk with] us. But you should [return to your towns, and eat the things that are produced on your land]. Harvest the grapes and the fruit [that ripen in] the (summer/hot season) and the olives, [make wine and olive oil, ] and store it.”
11 Ohxaxla Moabda, Ammoniylar arisida, Edomda ⱨǝm baxⱪa ⱨǝrbir yurtlarda turƣan Yǝⱨudiylarmu Babil padixaⱨi Yǝⱨudada hǝlⱪning bir ⱪaldisini ⱪaldurƣan wǝ ular üstigǝ ⱨɵkümranliⱪ ⱪilixⱪa Xafanning nǝwrisi, Aⱨikamning oƣli Gǝdaliyani bǝlgiligǝn dǝp anglidi;
Then the Jews who had fled to Moab, Ammon, Edom, and other [nearby] countries heard people say that the King of Babylon had allowed a few people [to remain] in Judah, and that he had appointed Gedaliah to be their governor.
12 xuning bilǝn barliⱪ Yǝⱨudiylar ⱨǝydǝp tarⱪitiwetilgǝn ⱨǝmmǝ jay-yurtlardin ⱪaytip, Yǝⱨuda zeminiƣa, Mizpaⱨ xǝⱨirigǝ, Gǝdaliyaning yeniƣa kǝldi. Ular xarab, ǝnjür-hormilarning mǝⱨsulatlirini zor kǝngriqiliktǝ aldi.
So they [began to] return to Judah. They stopped at Mizpah to [talk with] Gedaliah. Then [they went to various places in Judea, and] they harvested a great amount of grapes and summer fruit.
13 Kareaⱨning oƣli Yoⱨanan wǝ dalada ⱪalƣan lǝxkǝrlǝrning barliⱪ baxliⱪliri Mizpaⱨ xǝⱨirigǝ, Gǝdaliyaning yeniƣa kelip uningƣa:
[Some time later, ] Johanan and all the [other] leaders of the Israeli soldiers [who had not surrendered to the army of Babylonia] came to Gedaliah at Mizpah.
14 «Sǝn Ammoniylar padixaⱨi Baalis Nǝtaniyaning oƣli Ixmailni seni ɵltürüxkǝ ǝwǝtkǝnlikini bilmǝmsǝn?» — deyixti. Lekin Aⱨikamning oƣli Gǝdaliya ularning gepigǝ ixǝnmidi.
They said to him, “Do you know that Baalis, the king of the Ammon [people-group], has sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to assassinate you?” But Gedaliah did not believe what they said.
15 Kareaⱨning oƣli Yoⱨanan Mizpaⱨda Gǝdaliyaƣa astirtin sɵz ⱪilip: «Manga ruhsǝt ⱪilƣaysǝn, baxⱪilar uningdin hǝwǝr tapⱪuqǝ mǝn berip Nǝtaniyaning oƣli Ixmailni ɵltürǝy; ⱨeqkim buni bilmǝydu. Uning seni ɵltürüp, xuning bilǝn ǝtrapingƣa yiƣilƣan Yǝⱨudadikilǝrning ⱨǝmmisi tarⱪitiwetilip, Yǝⱨudaning ⱪaldisi yoⱪitiwetilixining nemǝ ⱨajiti bar? — dedi.
Later Johanan talked with Gedaliah privately. He said, “Allow me to go and murder Ishmael secretly. It would not be good [RHQ] to allow him to come and murder you! If you are killed, what will happen to all the Jews who have returned to this area? They will be scattered, and the other people who remain in Judah will all be killed!”
16 Biraⱪ Gǝdaliya Kareaⱨning oƣli Yoⱨananƣa: «Sǝn undaⱪ ⱪilma; qünki sǝn Ixmail toƣruluⱪ yalƣan eytiwatisǝn» — dedi.
But Gedaliah said to Johanan, “[No], I will not allow you to do that. [I think that] you are lying about Ishmael.”
