Jeremiah 39
1 Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí a kó Jerusalẹmu, ní ọdún kẹsànán Sedekiah, ọba Juda, nínú oṣù kẹwàá, Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli gbógun ti Jerusalẹmu pẹ̀lú gbogbo ogun rẹ̀, wọ́n sì dó tì í.
In the ninth year of Zedekiah, the king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem, with his entire army, and they besieged it.
2 Ní ọjọ́ kẹsànán, oṣù kẹrin ọdún kọkànlá Sedekiah, ni a wó odi ìlú náà.
Then, in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the fifth of the month, the city was opened.
3 Nígbà náà ni gbogbo àwọn ìjòyè ọba Babeli wá, wọ́n sì jókòó ní àárín ẹnu ibodè, àní Nergali-Ṣareseri ti Samgari, Nebo-Sarsikimu olórí ìwẹ̀fà, Nergali-Ṣareseri, olórí amòye, pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ìjòyè ọba Babeli yóò kú.
And all the rulers of the king of Babylon entered and were seated at the middle gate: Nergal-Sharezer, the priest of Nebo, Sarsechim, the chief eunuch, Nergal-Sharezer, the chief magi, and all the other rulers of the king of Babylon.
4 Nígbà tí Sedekiah ọba Juda àti àwọn ọmọ-ogun rí wọn, wọ́n sá, wọ́n kúrò ní ìlú ní alẹ́, wọ́n gba ọ̀nà ọgbà ọba lọ láàrín ẹnu ibodè pẹ̀lú odi méjì, wọ́n dojúkọ aginjù.
And when Zedekiah, the king of Judah, with all the men of war, had seen them, they fled. And they departed from the city at night, by way of the king’s garden, and through the gate which was between the two walls. And they departed along the way of the desert.
5 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ-ogun Babeli lé wọn, wọ́n bá Sedekiah láàrín aginjù Jeriko. Wọ́n mú un ní ìgbèkùn, wọ́n sì mú u tọ Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli àti Ribla ní ilẹ̀ Hamati, níbi tí wọ́n ti ṣe ìdájọ́ rẹ̀.
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued them. And they overtook Zedekiah in the plain of the desert of Jericho. And having captured him, they led him to Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, at Riblah, which is in the land of Hamath. And he declared a judgment against him
6 Níbẹ̀ ní Ribla, ni ọba Babeli ti dúńbú àwọn ọmọ Sedekiah lójú rẹ̀, tí ó sì tún pa gbogbo àwọn ọlọ́lá ilẹ̀ Juda.
And the king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah, at Riblah, before his eyes. And the king of Babylon killed all the nobles of Judah.
7 Nígbà náà ni ó fọ́ ojú Sedekiah, ó sì dè é pẹ̀lú ẹ̀wọ̀n láti gbé e lọ sí ilẹ̀ Babeli.
Also, he plucked out the eyes of Zedekiah. And he bound him with fetters, to be led away to Babylon.
8 Àwọn Babeli dáná sun ààfin ọba àti ilé àwọn ènìyàn, wọ́n sì wó odi Jerusalẹmu.
Also, the Chaldeans burned the house of the king and the house of the people with fire, and they overturned the wall of Jerusalem.
9 Nebusaradani olórí àwọn ọmọ-ogun mú lọ sí ìgbèkùn Babeli pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn tí ó ṣẹ́kù nínú ìlú.
And Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, carried away captive to Babylon the remnant of the people who had remained in the city, and the fugitives who had fled to him, and all the rest of the people who had remained.
10 Ṣùgbọ́n Nebusaradani olórí ogun fi àwọn aláìní sílẹ̀ ní Juda, àwọn tí kò ní ohun kankan ní àkókò náà, ó fún wọn ní ọgbà àjàrà àti oko.
And Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, released some of the poor people, those who had almost nothing, into the land of Judah. And he gave them vineyards and cisterns in that day.
11 Nísinsin yìí, Nebukadnessari ọba àwọn Babeli pàṣẹ lórí Jeremiah, láti ọ̀dọ̀ Nebusaradani olórí ogun wá wí pé:
Now Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had instructed Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, about Jeremiah, saying:
12 “Ẹ gbé e, kí ẹ sì bojútó o. Ẹ má ṣe ṣe ohun búburú fún un, ṣùgbọ́n ohunkóhun tó bá béèrè ni kí ẹ fi fún un.”
“Take him, and set your eyes on him, and you shall do no harm to him at all. But as he is willing, so shall you do with him.”
13 Bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ pẹ̀lú, Nebusaradani balógun ìṣọ́, àti Nebusaradani olórí ìwẹ̀fà, àti Nergali-Ṣareseri, olórí amòye àti gbogbo àwọn ìjòyè ọba Babeli,
Therefore, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, sent, and Nebushazban, the chief eunuch, and Nergal-Sharezer, the chief magi, and all the nobles of the king of Babylon sent,
14 ránṣẹ́ láti mú Jeremiah kúrò nínú túbú. Wọ́n gbé e lọ fún Gedaliah ọmọ Ahikamu ọmọ Ṣafani láti mú padà lọ sí ilé àti máa wà pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.
and they took Jeremiah from the vestibule of the prison, and they delivered him to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, so that he could enter a house and live among the people.
15 Nígbà tí Jeremiah wà nínú túbú, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ ọ́ wá wí pé:
But the word of the Lord had come to Jeremiah, when he had been confined to the vestibule of the prison, saying: “Go, and speak to Ebedmelech, the Ethiopian, saying:
16 “Lọ sọ fún Ebedimeleki ará Kuṣi, ‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí: Èmi ṣetán láti mú ọ̀rọ̀ mi ṣẹ lórí ìlú yìí nípa àjálù kì í ṣe àlàáfíà. Ní àkókò náà ni yóò ṣẹ lójú rẹ.
Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring my words over this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be in your sight in that day.
17 Ṣùgbọ́n, Èmi yóò gbà ọ́ lọ́jọ́ náà ni Olúwa wí. A kò ní fi ọ́ lé ọwọ́ àwọn tí o bẹ̀rù.
And I will free you in that day, says the Lord. And you will not be delivered into the hands of the men whom you dread.
18 Èmi yóò gbà ọ́ là; o kò ní ṣubú láti ipa idà; ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ yóò sá àsálà fún ẹ̀mí rẹ, nítorí pé ìwọ ní ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé nínú mi, ni Olúwa wí.’”
But when delivering, I will free you. And you will not fall by the sword. Instead, your life will be saved for you, because you had faith in me, says the Lord.”
