Jeremiah 42
1 Then all the commanders of the forces, along with Johanan son of Kareah, Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least to the greatest, approached
Aa le nañarivo mb’eo o mpifehe lahindefoñe iabio, naho Iohanane ana’ i Karea, naho Iezanià ana’ i Hosaià, vaho ze hene ondaty, ty bey naho ty kedeke,
2 Jeremiah the prophet and said, “May our petition come before you; pray to the LORD your God on behalf of this entire remnant. For few of us remain of the many, as you can see with your own eyes.
nanao ty hoe am’ Iirmeà mpitoky, Ehe te ho no’o ty halali’ay t’ie hisoloho ho anay am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, ho amako o hene sehanga’e retoa; amy te nengañe tsy ampeampe tika nimaro, ie o isam-pihaino’oo;
3 Pray that the LORD your God will tell us the way we should walk and the thing we should do.”
soa te hatoro’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ama’ay ty hañaveloa’ay naho ty hanoe’ay.
4 “I have heard you,” replied Jeremiah the prophet. “I will surely pray to the LORD your God as you request, and I will tell you everything that the LORD answers; I will not withhold a word from you.”
Aa le hoe t’Iirmeà mpitoky am’ iereo, Fa tsinanoko nahareo; toe ho halalieko am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo ty amy saontsi’ areoy; ie amy zao, ze tsara hatoi’ Iehovà ama’ areo ty hitaroñako; tsy eo ty ho tanako ama’ areo.
5 Then they said to Jeremiah, “May the LORD be a true and faithful witness against us if we do not act upon every word that the LORD your God sends you to tell us.
Aa le nanao ty hoe am’ Iirmeà iereo, Ehe te ho valolombeloñe vantañe naho migahiñe añivo-tika t’Iehovà, naho tsy hanoe’ay ze hene tsara hañiraha’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ama’ay añama’o.
6 Whether it is pleasant or unpleasant, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God to whom we are sending you, so that it may go well with us, for we will obey the voice of the LORD our God!”
Ke t’ie ho soa he te ho raty, ho haoñe’ay ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika amantoha’ay azoy; soa te hañasoa anay ty hañaoñe ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika.
7 After ten days the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah,
Aa ie nimodo ty folo andro, le niheo am’ Iirmeà ty tsara’ Iehovà.
8 and he summoned Johanan son of Kareah, all the commanders of the forces who were with him, and all the people from the least to the greatest.
Le kinoi’e t’Iohanane ana’ i Kerea naho o mpifehen-dahin-defoñe mpiama’eo naho ze hene ondaty, ty kede naho ty bey
9 Jeremiah told them, “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your petition:
vaho nanoe’e ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israeley, ie namantoha’ areo ahy hañenga i halali’ areoy añatrefa’e.
10 ‘If you will indeed stay in this land, then I will build you up and not tear you down; I will plant you and not uproot you, for I will relent of the disaster I have brought upon you.
Aa naho toe himoneña’ areo o tane toio, le haoreko fa tsy harotsako; hamboleko fa tsy hombotako; le hanintsiñeko ty amy hankàñe nanoeko ama’ areoy.
11 Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, whom you now fear; do not be afraid of him, declares the LORD, for I am with you to save you and deliver you from him.
Ko hembaña’ areo i mpanjaka’ i Babilone irevendreveña’ areoy; ko miria-tsandry ty ama’e; hoe t’Iehovà; toe hindre ama’ areo iraho handrombake naho hamotsotse anahareo am-pità’e.
12 And I will show you compassion, and he will have compassion on you and restore you to your own land.’
Le ho tolorako tretrè soa te hiferenaiña’e le hampolie’e mb’an-tane’ areo ao.
13 But if you say, ‘We will not stay in this land,’ and you thus disobey the voice of the LORD your God,
F’ie mone hanao ty hoe: Tsy himoneña’ay ty tane toy; amy te tsy haoñe’ areo ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo;
14 and if you say, ‘No, but we will go to the land of Egypt and live there, where we will not see war or hear the sound of the ram’s horn or hunger for bread,’
vaho manao ty hoe: Aiy! hañavelo mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo zahay, tsy hahaisak’ aly, tsy hahajanjiñe antsiva, tsy hifeake kerè; le añe ty himoneña’ay;
15 then hear the word of the LORD, O remnant of Judah! This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘If you are determined to go to Egypt and reside there,
le janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà, ry sehanga’ Iehodà: Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, i Andrianañahare’ Israeley; naho toañe’ areo o lahara’ areoo higodañe mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo hisese añe;
16 then the sword you fear will overtake you there, and the famine you dread will follow on your heels into Egypt, and you will die there.
le ho takare’ i fibara ihembaña’ areoy an-tane Mitsraime ao, vaho hañoridañe anahareo e Mitsraime añe i hasalikoañe marimarihe’ areoy; vaho hikoromak’ añe.
17 So all who resolve to go to Egypt to reside there will die by sword and famine and plague. Not one of them will survive or escape the disaster I will bring upon them.’
Izay ty hifetsak’ amy ze fonga ondaty mampitoañe ty lahara’e mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo hitaveañe añe; ho zamane’ ty fibara, ty hasalikoañe, naho ty angorosy; vaho tsy ho aman-tsehanga’e ndra ty hahabotafotse ami’ty feh’ohatse hafetsako ama’e.
18 For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘Just as My anger and wrath were poured out on the residents of Jerusalem, so will My wrath be poured out on you if you go to Egypt. You will become an object of cursing and horror, of vilification and disgrace, and you will never see this place again.’
Fa hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, i Andrianañahare’ Israeley: Manahake ty nampidoañañe ty habosehako naho ty fiforoforoako amo mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo, ty hampidoañañe ama’ areo ty fileveleveako naho mimoake e Mitsraime añe; le ho fokom-patse, ho halatsañe, ho ozoñe naho inje; vaho tsy ho isa’ areo ka ty toetse toy.
19 The LORD has told you, O remnant of Judah, ‘Do not go to Egypt.’ Know for sure that I have warned you today!
Hoe ty nitsarà’ Iehovà ama’areo ry sehanga’ Iehodào; Ko mimoak’ e Mitsraime ao; mahafohina te hinatahatako anindroany.
20 For you have deceived yourselves by sending me to the LORD your God, saying, ‘Pray to the LORD our God on our behalf, and as for all that the LORD our God says, tell it to us and we will do it.’
Fe nifañahie’ areo ty tro’areo; ami’ty nañirahañ’ ahy mb’am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo, ami’ty hoe: Ihalalio ho anay t’Iehovà Andrianañaharentika vaho itaroño ndra inoñ’ inoñe saontsie’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika, le hanoe’ay.
21 For I have told you today, but you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God in all He has sent me to tell you.
Aa le ie i tinaroko ama’ areo anindroaniy; fe tsy haoñe’ areo ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo ami’ty inoñ’ inoñe namantoha’e ahy ho ama’areo.
22 Now therefore, know for sure that by sword and famine and plague you will die in the place where you desire to go to reside.”
Mahafohina an-katò t’ie hampihomahem-pibara naho ty mosare vaho ty angorosy amy toetse tea’ areo hombañe hañialoa’ areoy.
