Jeremias 39
1 Iti maikasangapulo a bulan iti maikasiam a tawen a panagturay ni Zedekias a kas ari ti Juda, immay ni Nebucadnesar nga ari ti Babilonia a kaduana dagiti amin nga armadana a maibusor iti Jerusalem ket linakubda daytoy.
In the ninth year and tenth month of Zedekiah king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem and besieged it.
2 Iti maika-uppat a bulan iti maikasangapulo ket maysa a tawen a panagturay ni Zedekias, iti maikasiyam nga aldaw dayta a bulan, naserrek ti siudad.
In the eleventh year and fourth month of Zedekiah, on the ninth day of the month, the city was broken into.
3 Ket immay amin dagiti opisial ti ari ti Babilonia ket nagtugawda iti akintengnga a ruangan: da Nergal-salezer, Samgar Nebo, ken Sarsekim, a maysa a napapateg nga opisial. Ni Nergal-salezer ket maysa a nangato nga opisial, ken dagiti dadduma ket opisial ti ari ti Babilonia.
Then all the officials of the king of Babylon came and sat in the middle gate: Nebo-Sarsekim, Samgar Nebo, and Sarsechim, an important official. Nebo-Sarsekim was a high official and all the rest were the officials of the king of Babylon.
4 Ket napasamak nga idi nakita ida ni Zedekias, nga ari ti Juda ken dagiti amin a mannakigubatna, naglibasda. Rimmuarda iti rabii manipud iti siudad iti dalan nga adda iti minuyungan ti ari, iti ruangan iti nagbaetan dagiti dua a pader. Rimmuar ti ari a nagturong idiay Araba.
It happened that when Zedekiah, king of Judah, and all his fighting men saw them, they fled. They went out at night from the city by the king's garden path, through the gate between the two walls. The king went out in the direction of the Arabah.
5 Ngem kinamat ida ti armada dagiti Caldeo ket nakamatanda ni Zedekias iti patad ti Karayan Jordan a tanap nga asideg iti Jerico. Ket tiniliwda isuna ket impanda kenni Nebucadnesar, nga ari ti Babilonia, idiay Ribla iti daga ti Hamath, no sadinno ket impataw ni Nebucadnesar ti pannusana.
But the army of Chaldeans pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of the Jordan River valley near Jericho. Then they captured him and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where Nebuchadnezzar passed sentence on him.
6 Pinatay ti ari ti Babilonia dagiti lallaki a putotni Zedekias iti imatangna idiay Ribla. Pinatayna pay amin dagiti opisiales ti Juda.
The king of Babylon slaughtered Zedekiah's sons before his own eyes at Riblah. He also slaughtered all the noblemen of Judah.
7 Ket sinukilna ti mata ni Zedekias ken kinawaranna iti bronse tapno ipanda isuna idiay Babilonia.
Then he put out Zedekiah's eyes and bound him in bronze chains in order to take him to Babylon.
8 Ket pinuoran dagiti Caldeo ti balay ti ari ken dagiti balbalay dagiti tattao. Rinebbada pay dagiti pader ti Jerusalem.
Then the Chaldeans burned the king's house and the people's houses. They also tore down the walls of Jerusalem.
9 Ni Nebuzaradan, a kapitan dagiti agbanbantay iti ari, intalawna a kas balud dagiti nabatbati a tattao iti siudad. Karaman ditoy dagiti tattao a kimmapon kadagiti Caldeo ken dagiti nabatbati a tattao iti siudad.
Nebuzaradan, the commander of the king's bodyguards, took into exile the rest of the people who were left in the city. This included the people who had deserted to the Chaldeans and the rest of the people who were left in the city.
10 Ngem pinalubosan ni Nebuzaradan a kapitan dagiti agbanbantay iti ari dagiti kakukurapayan a tattao nga awan sanikuana nga agtalinaed iti daga ti Juda. Inikkanna ida kadagiti kaubasan ken taltalon iti dayta met laeng nga aldaw.
But Nebuzaradan the commander of the king's bodyguards allowed the poorest people who had nothing for themselves to remain in the land of Judah. He gave them vineyards and fields on that same day.
11 Binilin ni Nebucadnesar nga ari ti Babilonia ni Nebuzaradan a kapitan dagiti agbanbantay iti ari maipangagep kenni Jeremias. Kinunana,
Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had given an order about Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the commander of the king's bodyguards. He had said,
12 “Ikuyogmo isuna ken aywanam isuna. Saamo isuna a dangran. Aramidem ti aniaman nga ibagana kenka.”
“Take him and care for him. Do not harm him. Do for him anything he tells you.”
13 Isu a ni Nebuzaradan a kapitan dagiti agbanbantay iti ari, ni Nebusasban a nangato a eunuko, ni Nergal-salezer a nangato nga opisial, ken amin a kapapatgan nga opisial ti ari ti Babilonia ket nangibaonda kadagiti tattaoda.
So Nebuzaradan the commander of the king's bodyguards, Nebushazban the high eunuch, Nergal-Sharezer the high official, and all the most important officials of the king of Babylon sent men out.
14 Innala dagiti tattaoda ni Jeremias manipud iti paraangan dagiti agbanbantay ket impaaywanda kenni Gedalias a putot ni Ahikam a putot ni Safan, a mangiyawid kenkuana iti pagtaenganna, isu a nakignaed ni Jeremias kadagiti tattao sadiay.
Their men took Jeremiah from the courtyard of the guard and entrusted him to Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, to take him home, so Jeremiah stayed among the people.
15 Ita, immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Jeremias kabayatan a nakabalud isuna iti paraangan dagiti agbanbantay, ket kinunana,
Now the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah while he was under arrest in the courtyard of the guard, saying,
16 “Makitungtongka kenni Ebed Melec a taga-Cus ket ibagam, 'Ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, a Dios ti Israel, kastoy ti kunana: Dumngegka, dandaninkon nga ipatungpal dagiti saok a maibusor iti daytoy a siudad para iti didigra a saan ket a pagsayaatan. Ta matungpalto amin dagitoy iti sangoanam iti dayta nga aldaw.
“Speak to Ebed-Melek the Cushite and say, 'Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: See, I am about to carry out my words against this city for disaster and not for good. For they will all come true before you on that day.
17 Ngem ispalenkanto iti dayta nga aldaw-kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh-ket saankanto a maipaima kadagiti tattao a pagbutbutngam.
But I will rescue you on that day—this is Yahweh's declaration—and you will not be given into the hand of the men whom you fear.
18 Ta ispalenkanto. Saankanto a mapasag babaen iti kampilan. Makalasatkanto, agsipud ta agtaltalekka kaniak-kastoy ti impakaammo ni Yahweh.”
For I will certainly rescue you. You will not fall by the sword. You will escape with your life, since you trust in me—this was Yahweh's declaration.'”
