< Jeremiah 39 >

1 In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it.
E higa mar ochiko mar Zedekia ruodh Juda, e dwe mar apar, Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon nodhi gi jolweny mage duto momonjo Jerusalem kendo ne gigoyone agengʼa.
2 And in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, the city was broken up.
To odiechiengʼ mar ochiko e dwe mar angʼwen e higa mar apar gachiel mar loch Zedekia, ohinga mar dala maduongʼno nomuki.
3 And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, even Nergalsharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim, Rabsaris, Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, with all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.
Eka jotelo duto mag ruodh Babulon nobiro kendo obet e Dhorangach Madiere: Negal-Shareza ma ja-Samgar, Nebo-Sasekim jatelo maduongʼ, Negal-Shareza jatelo mamalo maduongʼ kod jotelo mamoko duto mag ruodh Babulon.
4 And it came to pass, when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, then they fled, and went out of the city by night, by the way of the king’s garden, by the gate between the two walls: and he went out the way of the plain.
Ka Zedekia ruodh Juda kod jolweny duto nonenogi, negiringo giwuok e dala maduongʼno gotieno ka gikalo e rangach man e kind ohinga ariyo man but puoth ruoth, kendo ka gichomo Araba.
5 But the Chaldeans’ army pursued them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him.
To jolwenj Babulon nolawogi kendo ojuko Zedekia e pewe mag Jeriko. Negimake mi gitere Ribla e piny Hamath ir Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon, kama nongʼadone bura.
6 Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah.
E Ribla ruodh Babulon nonego yawuot Zedekia koneno bende nonego jo-Juda duto ma joka ruoth.
7 Moreover he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, and bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon.
Eka nogolo wenge Zedekia oko kendo notweye gi rateke mag mula mondo notere Babulon.
8 And the Chaldeans burned the king’s house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
Jo-Babulon nowangʼo kar dak ruoth kod ute ji kendo negimuko ohinga mag Jerusalem.
9 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to him, with the rest of the people that remained.
Nebuzaradan ma jatend lweny mar piny nomako joma nodongʼ e dala maduongʼ moterogi e twech Babulon, kanyakla gi jogo mane osedhi ire, kod joma moko.
10 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
To Nebuzaradan ma jatend lweny noweyo e piny Juda joma odhier, mane onge gi gimoro; kendo e ndalogo nomiyogi puothe mzabibu kod puothe mamoko.
11 Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying,
Koro Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon nosechiwo chike kuom Jeremia kokalo kuom Nebuzaradan ma jatend lweny mar piny kowacho ni:
12 Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do to him even as he shall say to thee.
“Kawe kendo irite; kik ihinye to timne gimoro amora mokwayo.”
13 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushasban, Rabsaris, and Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, and all the king of Babylon’s princes;
Omiyo Nebuzaradan ma jatend lweny, Nebushazban ma jatelo maduongʼ, Negal-Shareza ma jatelo mamalo kod jotelo duto mag ruodh Babulon
14 Even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he dwelt among the people.
nooro wach mondo ogol Jeremia oa e laru mar jarito. Ne gitere ir Gedalia wuod Ahikam, ma wuod Shafan, mondo odwoke dalane. Omiyo nodongʼ e dier jogi owuon.
15 Now the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying,
Sa mane Jeremia nokan e laru mar jolweny, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirone niya:
16 Go and speak to Ebedmelech the Cushite, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished in that day before thee.
“Dhiyo kendo inyis Ebed-Melek ja-Kush, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: Achiegni timo gik mane awacho ni natim ne dala maduongʼni, ka akelo ne masiche to ok kwe. E kindeno notimgi ka ineno.
17 But I will deliver thee in that day, saith the LORD: and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho ni enoresi odiechiengʼno, ok nochiwi ne jogo miluoro.
18 For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prize to thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the LORD.
Enoresi; ok nonegi gi ligangla to initony gi ngimani, nikech igeno kuoma,’” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
