< 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 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 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.
Then, in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the fifth of the month, the city was opened.
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.
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 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.
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 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 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 Pinatay ti ari ti Babilonia dagiti lallaki a putotni Zedekias iti imatangna idiay Ribla. Pinatayna pay amin dagiti opisiales ti 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 Ket sinukilna ti mata ni Zedekias ken kinawaranna iti bronse tapno ipanda isuna idiay Babilonia.
Also, he plucked out the eyes of Zedekiah. And he bound him with fetters, to be led away to Babylon.
8 Ket pinuoran dagiti Caldeo ti balay ti ari ken dagiti balbalay dagiti tattao. Rinebbada pay dagiti pader ti Jerusalem.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Binilin ni Nebucadnesar nga ari ti Babilonia ni Nebuzaradan a kapitan dagiti agbanbantay iti ari maipangagep kenni Jeremias. Kinunana,
Now Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had instructed Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, about Jeremiah, saying:
12 “Ikuyogmo isuna ken aywanam isuna. Saamo isuna a dangran. Aramidem ti aniaman nga ibagana kenka.”
“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 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.
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 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.
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 Ita, immay ti sao ni Yahweh kenni Jeremias kabayatan a nakabalud isuna iti paraangan dagiti agbanbantay, ket kinunana,
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 “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.
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 Ngem ispalenkanto iti dayta nga aldaw-kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh-ket saankanto a maipaima kadagiti tattao a pagbutbutngam.
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 Ta ispalenkanto. Saankanto a mapasag babaen iti kampilan. Makalasatkanto, agsipud ta agtaltalekka kaniak-kastoy ti impakaammo ni Yahweh.”
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.”
