Ang Pagkasakop sang Jerusalem

39 Amo sini ang pagkasakop sang Jerusalem: Sang ikanapulo nga bulan sang ikasiyam nga tuig sang paghari ni Zedekia sa Juda, nagsalakay si Haring Nebucadnezar sang Babilonia kag ang iya bug-os nga soldado sa Jerusalem. Kag sang ikasiyam nga adlaw sang ikaapat nga bulan sang ikaonse nga tuig sang paghari ni Zedekia, naguba sang mga taga-Babilonia ang mga pader sang siyudad. Sang masulod na nila ang Jerusalem, nagpungko ang mga opisyal sang hari sang Babilonia sa Tunga nga Puwertahan.[a] Sila amo si Nergal Sharezer nga taga-Samgar, si Nebo Sarsekim nga isa ka pangulo nga opisyal, kag ang isa pa ka Nergal Sharezer nga isa man ka mataas nga opisyal, kag ang iban pa nga mga opisyal sang hari sang Babilonia.

Sang makita ini ni Haring Zedekia kag sang tanan niya nga soldado nagpalagyo sila. Naghalin sila sa siyudad sang kagab-ihon, kag didto sila nag-agi sa hardin sang hari, sa may puwertahan sa tunga sang duha ka pader, kag nagderetso sila sa Kapatagan sang Jordan.[b] Pero ginlagas sila sang mga soldado sang Babilonia, kag naabtan sila sa kapatagan sang Jerico. Gindakop nila si Zedekia kag gindala kay Haring Nebucadnezar sa Ribla sa duta sang Hamat, kag didto ginsentensyahan siya ni Nebucadnezar. Didto sa Ribla, ginpapatay ni Nebucadnezar ang mga anak nga lalaki ni Zedekia sa iya mismo atubangan. Ginpapatay man niya ang tanan nga opisyal sang Juda. Ginpalukat niya ang mga mata ni Zedekia kag ginpakadenahan siya kag gindala sa Babilonia.

Sa pihak nga bahin, ginsunog sang mga taga-Babilonia ang palasyo sang hari kag ang mga balay sa Jerusalem, kag ginpangguba nila ang mga pader sang siyudad. Sa pagpangulo ni Nebuzaradan nga pangulo sang mga guwardya, ginpangdala sa Babilonia ang mga tawo nga nabilin sa siyudad, pati atong mga nagdampig kay Nebuzaradan. 10 Pero ginbilin ni Nebuzaradan sa Juda ang pila ka imol gid nga mga tawo nga wala sing duta, kag ginhatagan niya sila sang mga talamnan sang ubas kag mga uma.

11 Karon, si Haring Nebucadnezar sang Babilonia nagmando kay Nebuzaradan nga pangulo sang mga guwardya parte kay Jeremias. Siling niya, 12 “Tatapa si Jeremias, kag indi siya pag-anha. Himua ang bisan ano nga iya ginapangabay.” 13 Gani gintuman ini ni Nebuzaradan nga pangulo sang mga guwardya, ni Nebushazban nga pangulo nga opisyal, ni Nergal Sharezer nga isa man ka mataas nga opisyal, kag sang iban pa nga mga opisyal sang hari sang Babilonia. 14 Ginpakuha nila si Jeremias didto sa lagwerta sang mga guwardya kag gintugyan kay Gedalia nga anak ni Ahikam kag apo ni Shafan, nga amo ang nagdala sa iya pauli sa iya balay. Gani nagpabilin si Jeremias sa Juda upod sang iban niya nga mga kasimanwa.

15 Sang didto pa si Jeremias sa prisohan sa lagwerta sang mga guwardya, nagsiling ang Ginoo sa iya: 16 “Magkadto ka kay Ebed Melec nga taga-Etiopia kag silinga siya nga ako, ang Ginoo nga Makagagahom, ang Dios sang Israel, nagasiling, ‘Tumanon ko na ang akon ginsiling kontra sa sini nga siyudad. Indi ko ini pagpauswagon kundi laglagon. Makita mo gid mismo ini nga matabo. 17 Pero luwason ko ikaw sa sina nga tion. Indi ka pag-itugyan sa mga tawo nga imo ginakahadlukan. 18 Luwason ko gid ikaw. Indi ka mapatay sa inaway kundi maluwas ka, tungod kay nagasalig ka sa akon. Ako, ang Ginoo, ang nagasiling sini.’ ”

39 In the ninth year of Zedekiah(A) king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar(B) king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his whole army and laid siege(C) to it. And on the ninth day of the fourth(D) month of Zedekiah’s eleventh year, the city wall(E) was broken through.(F) Then all the officials(G) of the king of Babylon came and took seats in the Middle Gate: Nergal-Sharezer of Samgar, Nebo-Sarsekim a chief officer, Nergal-Sharezer a high official and all the other officials of the king of Babylon. When Zedekiah king of Judah and all the soldiers saw them, they fled; they left the city at night by way of the king’s garden, through the gate between the two walls,(H) and headed toward the Arabah.[a](I)

But the Babylonian[b] army pursued them and overtook Zedekiah(J) in the plains of Jericho. They captured(K) him and took him to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon at Riblah(L) in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced sentence on him. There at Riblah the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes and also killed all the nobles(M) of Judah. Then he put out Zedekiah’s eyes(N) and bound him with bronze shackles to take him to Babylon.(O)

The Babylonians[c] set fire(P) to the royal palace and the houses of the people and broke down the walls(Q) of Jerusalem. Nebuzaradan commander of the imperial guard carried into exile to Babylon the people who remained in the city, along with those who had gone over to him,(R) and the rest of the people.(S) 10 But Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard left behind in the land of Judah some of the poor people, who owned nothing; and at that time he gave them vineyards and fields.

11 Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had given these orders about Jeremiah through Nebuzaradan commander of the imperial guard: 12 “Take him and look after him; don’t harm(T) him but do for him whatever he asks.” 13 So Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard, Nebushazban a chief officer, Nergal-Sharezer a high official and all the other officers(U) of the king of Babylon 14 sent and had Jeremiah taken out of the courtyard of the guard.(V) They turned him over to Gedaliah(W) son of Ahikam,(X) the son of Shaphan,(Y) to take him back to his home. So he remained among his own people.(Z)

15 While Jeremiah had been confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the Lord came to him: 16 “Go and tell Ebed-Melek(AA) the Cushite, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am about to fulfill my words(AB) against this city—words concerning disaster,(AC) not prosperity. At that time they will be fulfilled before your eyes. 17 But I will rescue(AD) you on that day, declares the Lord; you will not be given into the hands of those you fear. 18 I will save(AE) you; you will not fall by the sword(AF) but will escape with your life,(AG) because you trust(AH) in me, declares the Lord.’”

39 In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it.

And in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, the city was broken up.

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 residue of the princes of the king of Babylon.

And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, by the gate betwixt the two walls: and he went out the way of the plain.

But the Chaldeans' army pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him.

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.

Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon.

And the Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem.

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.

10 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, which had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.

11 Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying,

12 Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee.

13 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushasban, Rabsaris, and Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, and all the king of Babylon's princes;

14 Even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he dwelt among the people.

15 Now the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying,

16 Go and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, 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.

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.

18 For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the Lord.
