1Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king, instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
1 Zedeciya Yosiya izo, nga kaŋ Babila bonkoono Nebukadnezzar daŋ Yahuda laabo ra koy, a go ga may Koniya Yehoyacim izo nango ra.
2But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, listened to the words of Yahweh, which he spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.
2 Amma baa nga, wala a tamey, wala laabo borey, i mana laakal ye Rabbi sanno gaa kaŋ a ci annabi Irimiya me ra.
3Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now to Yahweh our God for us.
3 Bonkoono Zedeciya binde na Yehukal Selemiya izo da Zafaniya Alfa Maaseya izo donton annabi Irimiya do ka ne: «Kala ni ma adduwa te iri se Rabbi iri Irikoyo gaa sohõ.»
4Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people; for they had not put him into prison.
4 Alwaati woodin ra Irimiya goono ga koy da ye te jama ra, zama i man'a daŋ kasu jina.
5Pharaoh’s army had come forth out of Egypt; and when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard news of them, they broke up from Jerusalem.
5 A go mo, Firawna wongu marga jin ka fun Misira ka kaa. Waato kaŋ Kaldancey kaŋ yaŋ na Urusalima daŋ game din maa i baaru, i tun Urusalima ka dira.
6Then came the word of Yahweh to the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
6 Kala Rabbi sanno kaa annabi Irimiya do ka ne:
7Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, You shall tell the king of Judah, who sent you to me to inquire of me: Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which has come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.
7 Yaa no Rabbi, Israyla Irikoyo ci: Yaa no araŋ ga ci Yahuda bonkoono se, nga kaŋ n'araŋ donton ay do zama araŋ m'ay hã. A go, Firawna wongu marga kaŋ fatta zama ngey ma kande araŋ se gaakasinay ga ye ngey laabu, kaŋ ga ti Misira.
8The Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city; and they shall take it, and burn it with fire.
8 Kaldancey ga ye ka kaa koyne ka gallo wo wongu. I g'a ŋwa mo k'a ton da danji.
9Thus says Yahweh, Don’t deceive yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us; for they shall not depart.
9 Yaa no Rabbi ci: Wa si araŋ boŋ fafagu ka ne: «Sikka si Kaldancey ga fay da iri,» kaŋ se i si fay d'araŋ bo.
10For though you had struck the whole army of the Chaldeans who fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yes would they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.
10 Zama baa day araŋ ga Kaldancey wongu kunda kulu kaŋ yaŋ goono ga wongu nd'araŋ kar no, hal a ma ciya boro kulu mana cindi i ra kala marante koonu, kulu nda yaadin i boro fo kulu ga tun nga bukka ra ka gallo wo ton da danji.
11It happened that, when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army,
11 A ciya mo waato kaŋ Kaldancey wongu marga dira ka fay da Urusalima Firawna wongu marga sabbay se,
12then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to receive his portion there, in the midst of the people.
12 kala Irimiya fatta Urusalima ra ka ne nga ga koy Benyamin laabu ka nga tubu hari fo ta noodin borey game ra.
13When he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the guard was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he laid hold on Jeremiah the prophet, saying, You are falling away to the Chaldeans.
13 Waato kaŋ a go gallu meyo kaŋ se i ga ne Benyamin Meyo gaa, me batukoy arkusu fo go noodin, kaŋ maa ga ti Iriya, Selemiya izo, Hananiya ize. A binde na annabi Irimiya di ka ne a se: «Ni goono ga ba ni ma koy Kaldancey do ka ciya i wane.»
14Then Jeremiah said, It is false; I am not falling away to the Chaldeans. But he didn’t listen to him; so Irijah laid hold on Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
14 Annabi Irimiya ne: «Taari no! Ay siino ga ye Kaldancey do.» Amma Iriya mana saal Irimiya. A n'a di ka kond'a faadancey do.
15The princes were angry with Jeremiah, and struck him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made that the prison.
15 Faadancey binde futu Irimiya gaa. I n'a kar k'a daŋ kasu, hantumkwa Yonata windo ra, zama i na noodin ciya kasu windi.
16When Jeremiah had come into the dungeon house, and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;
16 Irimiya hawyaŋo banda, i n'a daŋ fuwo kaŋ ganda ga guusu din kaso ra. A te jirbi boobo a ra mo.
17Then Zedekiah the king sent, and fetched him: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from Yahweh? Jeremiah said, There is. He said also, You shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.
17 Kala Bonkoono Zedeciya donton ka ne i m'a fattandi. Bonkoono n'a hã mo tuguyaŋ ra nga windo ra ka ne: «Sanni fo go no kaŋ fun Rabbi do no?» Irimiya ne «A go no, zama a ne i ga ni daŋ Babila bonkoono kambe ra.»
18Moreover Jeremiah said to king Zedekiah, Wherein have I sinned against you, or against your servants, or against this people, that you have put me in prison?
18 Irimiya ye ka ne bonkoono Zedeciya se: «Man taalo kaŋ ay te ni se, za nin ka koy ni tamey, wala jama wo, kaŋ se araŋ n'ay daŋ kasu fuwo ra?
19Where now are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?
19 Man gaa araŋ annabey binde, ngey kaŋ yaŋ na annabitaray te araŋ se ka ne: ‹Babila bonkoono si kande araŋ gaa wongu, d'araŋ gaa no wala laabo wo gaa no?›
20Now please hear, my lord the king: please let my supplication be presented before you, that you not cause me to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.
20 Ni binde, ya bonkoono ay jine bora, ay ga ni ŋwaaray ni ma maa sohõ, naŋ mo ay ŋwaarayyaŋo ma ciya tayaŋ hari ni do. Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma si naŋ ay ma ye hantumkwa Yonata kwaara koyne, hal ay ma si koy bu noodin.»
21Then Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard; and they gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city was spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
21 Kala bonkoono Zedeciya lordi ka ne i ma Irimiya daŋ batukoy windo ra. Ngey mo g'a no buuru ize fo zaari kulu, kaŋ i ga du buuru tonkoy fonda gaa, kala waati kaŋ buuru kulu ban gallo ra. Yaadin cine no Irimiya goro nd'a batukoy windo ra.
