Jeremiah 34
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, with all his army, all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion, and all the peoples, were fighting against Jerusalem and against all its cities, saying:
Ty tsara niheo am’ Iirmeà boak’ am’ Iehovà, ie nialy am’ Ierosalaime naho amo rova’e iabio t’i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele naho o lahindefo’e iabio naho o fifeheañe an-tane felehe’e iabio vaho ondaty iabio, nanao ty hoe:
2 “The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Go, and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, the LORD says, “Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon and he will burn it with fire.
Hoe t’Iehovà, i Andrianañahare’ Israeley: Akia misaontsia amy Tsidkia, mpanjaka Iehodà, ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà: Inao! hatoloko am-pità’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveley ty rova toy vaho hampangotomomohe’e an’ afo;
3 You will not escape out of his hand, but will surely be taken and delivered into his hand. Your eyes will see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he will speak with you mouth to mouth. You will go to Babylon.”’
le tsy hibotatsak’ am-pità’e irehe, fa toe ho tsepaheñe vaho hasese am-pità’e; le ho isam-pihaino’o o fihaino’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveleio naho hisaontsie’e falie am-palie vaho hañavelo mb’e Bavele mb’eo irehe.
4 “Yet hear the LORD’s word, O Zedekiah king of Judah. The LORD says concerning you, ‘You will not die by the sword.
Fe janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà ry Tsidkia mpanjaka’ Iehodà: Hoe t’Iehovà ama’o: Tsy hampihomahem-pibara irehe;
5 You will die in peace; and with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so they will make a burning for you. They will lament you, saying, “Ah Lord!” for I have spoken the word,’ says the LORD.”
f’ie hikoromake an-kanintsiñe, le manahake ty nañembohañe aman-droae’o, o mpanjaka taolo niaolo azoo, ty hañoroa’ iereo emboke ho azo vaho handala, ami’ty hoe: Hoy aba! Inay i tsara nitaroñekoy, hoe t’Iehovà.
6 Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,
Aa le hene nisaontsie’ Iirmeà mpitoky amy Tsidkia mpanjaka’ Iehodà e Ierosalaime ao i tsara zay,
7 when the king of Babylon’s army was fighting against Jerusalem and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish and against Azekah; for these alone remained of the cities of Judah as fortified cities.
ie nialia’ o lahindefo’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveleio t’Ierosalaime naho o rova sisa’ Iehodà iabio, i Lakise naho i Azekà; amy te iereo avao ty rova nihafatrareñe sisa amo rova’ Iehodào.
8 The word came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them,
Ty tsara’ Iehovà niheo am’Iirmeà, ie fa nifañina amo hene’ ondaty e Ierosalaime ao t’i Tsidkia, t’ie hikoiham-pamotsorañe,
9 that every man should let his male servant, and every man his female servant, who is a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, go free, that no one should make bondservants of them, of a Jew his brother.
te songa ho haha’ ondaty ze mpitoro’e lahilahy, sindre ondaty ty ampela-mpitoro’e, ie lahilahy nte-Evre ndra ampela nte-Evre; soa tsy eo ty hitañe o nte-Iehodà rahalahi’eo an-drohy;
10 All the princes and all the people obeyed who had entered into the covenant, that everyone should let his male servant and everyone his female servant go free, that no one should make bondservants of them any more. They obeyed and let them go,
le songa nañaoñe o roandriañe naho ondaty iaby niantoke i fañinam-pamotsorañeio te hene ondaty ro hañaha ty ondevo-lahi’e naho fonga ondaty ty ondevo-ampela’e, tsy hanoeñe ondevo ka; Eka, nivohotse iereo vaho namotsotse.
11 but afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids whom they had let go free to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.
Ie añe, le nifotetse naho nampipolie’ iareo ondevo’e lahilahio naho ondevo’e ampelao, o navotsotseo; vaho nampiambanea’ iareo ho ondevo lahy naho ondevo ampela;
12 Therefore the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
aa le niheo am’Iirmeà boak’ am’ Iehovà ty tsara’ Iehovà manao ty hoe:
13 “The LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying:
Hoe t’Iehovà, i Andrianañahare’ Israeley: Nanao fañina aman-droae’ areo iraho tañ’ andro nañakarako iareo an-tane Mitsraime, boak’ an-trañom-pañodevozañ’ añe ami’ty hoe:
14 At the end of seven years, every man of you shall release his brother who is a Hebrew, who has been sold to you, and has served you six years. You shall let him go free from you. But your fathers did not listen to me, and did not incline their ear.
Ie modo ty fito taoñe le tsy mete tsy hene havotso’o ze rahalahi’o nte-Iehodà naletak’ ama’o, ie fa nitoroñe azo enen-taoñe, le tsy mahay tsy haha’o ama’o; fe tsy nañaoñe ahy o roae’ areoo, tsy nanokilan-dravembia.
15 You had now turned, and had done that which is right in my eyes, in every man proclaiming liberty to his neighbor. You had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name;
Aniany nahareo te nibalintoa, nanao ty hiti’e a-masoko, songa nitsey famotsorañe amo rahalahi’eo t’indaty; vaho nifañina amako añatrefako añ’ anjomba tokaveñe amy añarakoy;
16 but you turned and profaned my name, and every man caused his servant and every man his handmaid, whom you had let go free at their pleasure, to return. You brought them into subjection, to be to you for servants and for handmaids.’”
f’ie nivalike, naniva ty añarako, nampibalihe’ areo, songa ondaty ty ondevo’e, sindre ondaty ty ondevo-ampela’e, o fa navotso’ areo hidada ho mb’an-satri’e mb’eo; vaho nanoe’ areo ondevo-lahi’ areo naho ondevo-ampela.
17 Therefore the LORD says: “You have not listened to me, to proclaim liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbor. Behold, I proclaim to you a liberty,” says the LORD, “to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine. I will make you be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth.
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà: Kanao tsy nañaoñe ahy, amy tsey fidadàñey, songa ondaty an-drahalahi’e, sindre ondaty an-drañe’e; le hitseizako fidadàñe, hoe t’Iehovà, ho amy fibaray naho i angorosiy naho i hasalikoañey, vaho hampitsololoheko amy ze kila fifehea’ ty tane toy nahareo.
18 I will give the men who have transgressed my covenant, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they made before me when they cut the calf in two and passed between its parts:
Le hatoloko am’ondaty nivalik’ amy fañinakoio, o tsy nañeneke i tsaram-pañina nanoe’ iereo aolo’ ahy eoy, ie tinori’ areo roe i ana-bosiy vaho niranga anteñateña i vaki’e rey—
19 the princes of Judah, the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, the priests, and all the people of the land, who passed between the parts of the calf.
o roandria’ Iehodao, naho o roandria’ Ierosalaimeo, o vositseo naho o mpisoroñeo, vaho ze hene ondati’ i taneio, ze niranga añivo’ ty vaki’ i ana-bosiy eo—
20 I will even give them into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of those who seek their life. Their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the sky and for the animals of the earth.
hatoloko am-pità’ o rafelahi’eo iereo naho am-pità’ o mipay ty fiai’iareoo; vaho ho fihina’ o voron-dikerañeo naho o bibi’ ty tane toio ty lolo’ iareo.
21 “I will give Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes into the hands of their enemies, into the hands of those who seek their life and into the hands of the king of Babylon’s army, who has gone away from you.
Le hatoloko am-pità’ o rafelahi’ iareoo naho am-pità’ o mipay ty fiai’ iareoo, naho am-pità’ o lahindefo’ i mpanjaka’ i Bavele fa nihankañ’ am’ iareoio, t’i Tsidkia mpanjaka’ Iehodà naho o roandria’eo.
22 Behold, I will command,” says the LORD, “and cause them to return to this city. They will fight against it, take it, and burn it with fire. I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.”
Inao! handily iraho, hoe t’Iehovà, le hampibaliheko mb’ an-drova mb’atoy iereo; hialia’ iareo, naho hitavana’ iareo, vaho hamorototoa’ iareo añ’afo; le hampangoakoaheko o rova’ Iehodao ho tsy amam-pimoneñe.
