Jeremiah 37
1 Zedekiah 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.
Nifehe ho mpanjaka t’i Tsidkia nandimbe i Konia ana’ Iehoiakime ana’ Iosia nanoe’ i Nebokadnetsare, mpanjaka’ i Bavele, mpanjaka an-tane Iehodày.
2 But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, listened to the LORD’s words, which he spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.
F’ie ndra o mpitoro’eo ndra ondati’ i taneio tsy nañaoñe ty tsara’ Iehovà nisaontsie’e añam’ Iirmeà mpitoky.
3 Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, “Pray now to the LORD our God for us.”
Nirahe’ i Tsidkia mpankaja t’Iehokale ana’ i Selemia naho i Tsefania mpisoroñe ana’ i Maasaia am’ Iirmeà mpitoky nanao ty hoe: Ehe, halalio ho anay t’Iehovà Andrianañaharentika.
4 Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people, for they had not put him into prison.
Ie amy zay nifampitamboemboeñe am’ondatio t’Iirmeà; ie mboe tsy nagodoñe am-balabey ao,
5 Pharaoh’s army had come out of Egypt; and when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard news of them, they withdrew from Jerusalem.
le niakatse an-tane Mitsraime o lahindefo’ i Paroo; aa ie jinanji’ o nte-Kasdy nañarikatoke Ierosalaimeo i talily ty am’ iereoy le nisitak’ am’ Ierosalaime.
6 Then the LORD’s word came to the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Le niheo am’Iirmeà ty tsara’ Iehovà:
7 “The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘You shall tell the king of Judah, who sent you to me to inquire of me: “Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which has come out to help you, will return to Egypt into their own land.
Hoe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele: Zao ty ho saontsie’ areo amy mpanjaka’ Iehodày nañirak’ anahareo amako hañontane: Himpoly mb’an-tane’e e Mitsraime añe o lian-dahindefo’ i Parò nionjoñe hañolotse anahareoo;
8 The Chaldeans will come again, and fight against this city. They will take it and burn it with fire.”’
le hibalike mb’etoa o nte Kasdio hialy ami’ty rova toy hitavañe vaho hamorototo aze amañ’afo.
9 “The LORD says, ‘Do not deceive yourselves, saying, “The Chaldeans will surely depart from us;” for they will not depart.
Hoe t’Iehovà, Ko mamañahy vatañe ami’ty hoe: Tsy mahay tsy hienga antika o nte-Kasdio. Fa tsy hienga!
10 For though you had struck the whole army of the Chaldeans who fight against you, and only wounded men remained among them, they would each rise up in his tent and burn this city with fire.’”
Ndra te fonga zinama’areo o lahindefon-te-Kasdy mialy ama’areoo, vaho tsy aman-tsehanga’e naho tsy ty fere an-kiboho’e ao, le ie ty ho nitroatse hamorototo ty rova toy amañ’afo.
11 When the army of the Chaldeans had withdrawn from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army,
Aa ie nisitake Ierosalaime o nte-Kasdio ty amy lian-dahin-defo’ i Paròy,
12 then Jeremiah went out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to receive his portion there, in the middle of the people.
le niakatse Ierosalaime t’Iirmeà hionjoñe mb’an-tane’ i Beniamine añe handrambe ty anjaran-tane’e añivo’ ondaty ao.
13 When he was in Benjamin’s gate, a captain of the guard was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he seized Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “You are defecting to the Chaldeans!”
Ie pok’ an-dalambei’ i Beniamine eo le tsinepa’ ty mpijilo atao Iiria ana’ i Selemia ana’ i Kanania t’Iirmeà ami’ty hoe, Mitotse mb’ amo nte-Kasdio ni-heo.
14 Then Jeremiah said, “That is false! I am not defecting to the Chaldeans.” But he did not listen to him; so Irijah seized Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
Le hoe t’Iirmeà: Vande izay; izaho tsy misitake mb’ amo nte-Kasdio. Fe tsy nihaoñe’e; aa le sinambo’ Iiria t’Iirmeà vaho nasese’e mb’amo roandriañeo.
15 The 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.
Niviñera’ o roandriañeo t’Iirmeà, le finofo’ iareo vaho najo’ iareo an-drohy añ’anjomba’ Ionatane silikitera ao, fa nanoeñe valabey ty ao.
16 When Jeremiah had come into the dungeon house and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days,
Aa ie fa najoroboñe añ’efets’ efe’ i valabeiy t’Iirmeà naho nitambatse ao andro maro t’Iirmeà,
17 then Zedekiah the king sent and had him brought out. The king asked him secretly in his house, “Is there any word from the LORD?” Jeremiah said, “There is.” He also said, “You will be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.”
le nampihitrife’ i Tsidkia amy zao re le nampihovañ’ aze naho natola’e añ’anjomba’e ao vaho nañontane aze, ty hoe: Hera ao ty tsara boak’ am’ Iehovà? Toe ao! hoe t’Iirmeà, fa hoe re: Hasese am-pitàm-panjaka’ i Bavele irehe.
18 Moreover Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, “How have I sinned against you, against your servants, or against this people, that you have put me in prison?
Tinovo’ Iirmeà amy Tsidkia mpanjaka’ Iehodà ty hoe, Ino ty tahiko ama’o ndra amo mpitoro’oo ndra am’ ondati’oo te nagodo’o am-po porozò ao?
19 Now where are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, ‘The king of Babylon will not come against you, nor against this land’?
Aia ka o mpitoki’o nitoky ama’o ty hoe: Tsy ho avy haname azo naho ty tane toy ty mpanjaka’ i Baveleo?
20 Now 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.”
Aa le ijanjiño abey, ry taleko mpanjaka: Ehe, tsendreño o halalikoo, le ko ampipolieñ’ ahy mb’añ’anjomba’ Ionatane silikitera mb’eo, tsy mone hivetrake ao.
21 Then Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard. They gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city was gone. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
Aa le nandily t’i Tsidkia, naho najò’ iareo an-kiririsa’ o mpigaritseo t’Iirmeà; vaho nanjotsoañe vonga-mofo boak’ andro hirik’ an-dalam-panoñak’ ao ampara’ te fonga nikapaike ty mofo’ i rovay. Aa le nidoñe an-kiririsam-pigaritse ao t’Iirmeà.
