Yeremyaah Oo La Xiray

37 Oo Boqor Sidqiyaah oo ahaa ina Yoosiyaah ayaa boqor ka noqday meeshii Konyaah ina Yehooyaaqiim, kaasoo ahaa kii Nebukadresar oo ahaa boqorkii Baabuloon uu isaga boqor uga dhigay dalkii Yahuudah. Laakiinse isagii, iyo addoommadiisii, iyo dadkii dalka toona midkoodna ma maqlin erayadii Rabbiga ee uu isagu kaga hadlay Nebi Yeremyaah. Oo Boqor Sidqiyaah wuxuu Nebi Yeremyaah u soo diray Yehuukal ina Shelemyaah, iyo Sefanyaah ina wadaadka Macaseeyaah, oo wuxuu ku soo yidhi, Bal Rabbiga Ilaaheenna ah noo bari.

Oo markaas Nebi Yeremyaah dadka dhexdiisa ayuu gudaha u soo geli jiray oo dibadda uga bixi jiray, waayo, weli ma ay xabbisin. Oo ciidankii Fircoon ayaa Masar ka soo baxay, oo reer Kaldayiinkii Yeruusaalem ku hareeraysnaana markay warkoodii maqleen ayay Yeruusaalem ka kala tageen. Markaasaa eraygii Rabbigu Nebi Yeremyaah u yimid, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Boqorka dalka Yahuudah oo ii soo kiin diray inuu wax i weyddiisto waxaad ku tidhaahdaan, Bal eeg, ciidanka Fircoon oo u soo baxay inuu ku caawiyo, waxay ku noqon doonaan dalkoodii Masar. Oo reer Kaldayiinna way soo noqon doonaan, oo magaaladan bay la diriri doonaan, wayna qabsan doonaan, oo dab bay ku gubi doonaan. Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Idinku ha iskhiyaanaynina, oo ha isku odhanina, Hubaal reer Kaldayiin way naga tegayaan, maxaa yeelay, iyagu ma ay tegi doonaan. 10 Waayo, in kastoo aad ciidanka reer Kaldayiin ee idinla diriraya wada baabbi'in lahaydeen, oo rag dhaawac ah mooyaane aan iyaga wax kale ka hadhin, haddana iyaga midkood kastaaba wuxuu ka soo kici lahaa teendhadiisa, oo dab bay magaaladan ku gubi lahaayeen.

11 Oo markii ciidankii reer Kaldayiin ay Yeruusaalem uga kala tageen cabsi ay ka qabaan ciidankii Fircoon aawadiis 12 ayaa Yeremyaah Yeruusaalem ka baxay oo wuxuu galay dalkii reer Benyaamiin si uu meeshaas qaybtiisa dadka uga dhex helo. 13 Oo markuu iriddii reer Benyaamiin joogay waxaa isna halkaas joogay sirkaal waardiyayaasha madax u ahaa, oo magiciisa la odhan jiray Yiriyaah ina Shelemyaah, oo ahaa ina Xananyaah, oo isna Yeremyaah buu qabtay oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Adigu waxaad u gelaysaa reer Kaldayiin. 14 Markaas Yeremyaah wuxuu ku yidhi, Taasu waa been, anigu reer Kaldayiin u geli maayo. Laakiinse isagu innaba ma uu dhegaysan, sidaas daraaddeed Yiriyaah wuxuu soo qabtay Yeremyaah, oo amiirradii u keenay. 15 Amiirradiina Yeremyaah bay u cadhoodeen, oo intay garaaceen ayay gurigii Yoonaataan oo karraanigii ahaa ku xabbiseen, waayo, kaasay xabsi ka dhigeen. 16 Markii Yeremyaah uu gurigii godka ahaa galay iyo weliba qolalkii hoose, oo uu halkaas maalmo badan ku jiray, 17 ayaa waxaa isagii u soo cid diray Boqor Sidqiyaah, oo soo bixiyey. Markaasaa boqorkii si qarsoodi ah gurigiisa gudihiisa wax ugu weyddiiyey, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Eray Rabbiga ka yimid miyuu jiraa? Kolkaasaa Yeremyaah ku yidhi, Waa jiraa. Oo wuxuu kaloo yidhi, Adigu waxaa laguu gelin doonaa gacanta boqorka Baabuloon. 18 Oo weliba Yeremyaah wuxuu Boqor Sidqiyaah ku yidhi, Bal maxaan adiga, amase addoommadaada, amase dadkan u dhimay, oo aad ii xabbisteen? 19 Haddaba bal meeye nebiyadaadii wax idiin sii sheegay, oo idinku yidhi, Boqorka Baabuloon ku soo duuli maayo idinka iyo dalkanba? 20 Haddaba boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, bal baryadayda maqal, oo waan ku baryayaaye baryootankayga xaggaaga ha laga aqbalo, oo gurigii karraaniga Yoonaataan ha igu celin, waaba intaasoo aan halkaas ku dhintaaye. 21 Markaas Boqor Sidqiyaah wuxuu ku amray in Yeremyaah barxaddii waardiyayaasha lagu daayo, oo waxaa dharaar kasta jidka kibisdubayaasha laga siin jiray xabbad kibis ah, ilamaa kibistii magaaladu ay wada dhammaatay. Oo sidaasuu Yeremyaah barxaddii waardiyayaasha ugu sii hadhay.

Jeremiah in Prison

37 Zedekiah(A) son of Josiah was made king(B) of Judah by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; he reigned in place of Jehoiachin[a](C) son of Jehoiakim. Neither he nor his attendants nor the people of the land paid any attention(D) to the words the Lord had spoken through Jeremiah the prophet.

King Zedekiah, however, sent(E) Jehukal(F) son of Shelemiah with the priest Zephaniah(G) son of Maaseiah to Jeremiah the prophet with this message: “Please pray(H) to the Lord our God for us.”

Now Jeremiah was free to come and go among the people, for he had not yet been put in prison.(I) Pharaoh’s army had marched out of Egypt,(J) and when the Babylonians[b] who were besieging Jerusalem heard the report about them, they withdrew(K) from Jerusalem.(L)

Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet: “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Tell the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire(M) of me, ‘Pharaoh’s army, which has marched(N) out to support you, will go back to its own land, to Egypt.(O) Then the Babylonians will return and attack this city; they will capture(P) it and burn(Q) it down.’

“This is what the Lord says: Do not deceive(R) yourselves, thinking, ‘The Babylonians will surely leave us.’ They will not! 10 Even if you were to defeat the entire Babylonian[c] army that is attacking you and only wounded men were left in their tents, they would come out and burn(S) this city down.”

11 After the Babylonian army had withdrawn(T) from Jerusalem because of Pharaoh’s army, 12 Jeremiah started to leave the city to go to the territory of Benjamin to get his share of the property(U) among the people there. 13 But when he reached the Benjamin Gate,(V) the captain of the guard, whose name was Irijah son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah, arrested him and said, “You are deserting to the Babylonians!”(W)

14 “That’s not true!” Jeremiah said. “I am not deserting to the Babylonians.” But Irijah would not listen to him; instead, he arrested(X) Jeremiah and brought him to the officials. 15 They were angry with Jeremiah and had him beaten(Y) and imprisoned(Z) in the house(AA) of Jonathan the secretary, which they had made into a prison.

16 Jeremiah was put into a vaulted cell in a dungeon, where he remained a long time. 17 Then King Zedekiah sent(AB) for him and had him brought to the palace, where he asked(AC) him privately,(AD) “Is there any word from the Lord?”

“Yes,” Jeremiah replied, “you will be delivered(AE) into the hands of the king of Babylon.”

18 Then Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, “What crime(AF) have I committed against you or your attendants or this people, that you have put me in prison? 19 Where are your prophets(AG) who prophesied to you, ‘The king of Babylon will not attack you or this land’? 20 But now, my lord the king, please listen. Let me bring my petition before you: Do not send me back to the house of Jonathan the secretary, or I will die there.”(AH)

21 King Zedekiah then gave orders for Jeremiah to be placed in the courtyard of the guard and given a loaf of bread from the street of the bakers each day until all the bread(AI) in the city was gone.(AJ) So Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard.(AK)
