< Jeremias 37 >

1 THE WORD THAT CAME TO JEREMIAS FROM THE LORD, SAYING,
Ary Zedekia mpanjaka, zanak’ i Josia, dia nanjaka nandimby an’ i Jekonia, zanak’ i Joiakima, fa nampanjakain’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, tao amin’ ny tanin’ ny Joda izy;
2 Thus speaks the Lord God of Israel, saying, Write all the words which I have spoken to thee in a book.
nefa na izy, na ny mpanompony, na ny vahoaka, dia samy tsy nihaino ny tenin’ i Jehovah, izay nampilazainy an’ i Jeremia mpaminany.
3 For, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel and Juda, said the Lord: and I will bring them back to the land which I gave to their fathers, and they shall be lords of it.
Ary Zedekia mpanjaka naniraka an’ i Jehokala, zanak’ i Selemia, sy Zefania, zanak’ i Mahaseia, mpisorona, ho any amin’ i Jeremia mpaminany hanao hoe: Mba ivavaho amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika re izahay.
4 AND THESE ARE THE WORDS WHICH THE LORD SPOKE CONCERNING ISRAEL AND JUDA;
Ary Jeremia mbola niditra sy nivoaka teo amin’ ny olona ihany; fa tsy mbola nataony tao an-trano-maizina izy.
5 Thus said the Lord: Ye shall hear a sound of fear, [there is] fear, and there is not peace.
Ary efa niainga avy tany Egypta ny miaramilan’ i Farao, ka raha nahare izany ny Kaldeana izay nanao fahirano an’ i Jerosalema, dia niala tany Jerosalema izy.
6 Enquire, and see if a male has born a child? and [ask] concerning the fear, wherein they shall hold their loins, and [look for] safety: for I have seen every man, and his hands are on his loins; [their] faces are turned to paleness.
Dia tonga tamin’ i Jeremia mpaminany ny tenin’ i Jehovah hoe:
7 For that day is great, and there is not such [another]; and it is a time of straitness to Jacob; but he shall be saved out of it.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Izao no lazaonareo amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda, izay naniraka anareo hankatỳ amiko hanontany amiko: Indro, ny miaramilan’ i Farao, izay efa niainga hamonjy anareo, dia hiverina ho any Egypta taniny;
8 In that day, said the Lord, I will break the yoke off their neck, and will burst their bonds, and they shall no longer serve strangers:
fa ho avy indray ny Kaldeana ka hamely ity tanana ity sady hanafaka azy sy handoro azy amin’ ny afo.
9 but they shall serve the Lord their God; and I will raise up to them David their king.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Aza mamita-tena foana ianareo ka manao hoe: Hiala amintsika tokoa ny Kaldeana; fa tsy hiala izy tsy akory.
Fa na dia mamely ny miaramilan’ ny Kaldeana rehetra izay miady aminareo aza ianareo, ka izay voalefona no ho sisa velona, ireo aza dia samy hitsangana avy ao anaty lainy ka handoro ity tanàna ity amin’ ny afo.
Ary raha niala tany Jerosalema ny miaramilan’ ny Kaldeana noho ny amin’ ny miaramilan’ i Farao,
12 Thus saith the Lord; I have brought on [thee] destruction; thy stroke is painful.
dia nivoaka Jeremia avy tao Jerosalema hankany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Benjamina mba handray izay anjarany eo amin’ ny vahoaka.
13 There is none to judge thy cause: thou hast been painfully treated for healing, there is no help for thee.
Ary raha tonga teo am-bavahadin’ i Benjamina izy, dia, indro, ny kapitenin’ ny mpiambina, atao hoe Jiria, zanak’ i Selemia, zanak’ i Hanania, no teo; dia nisambotra an’ i Jeremia mpaminany izy ka nanao hoe: Miray tetika amin’ ny Kaldeana ianao.
14 All thy friends have forgotten thee; they shall not ask [about thee] at all, for I have smitten thee with he stroke of an enemy, [even] severe correction: thy sins have abounded above all thine iniquity.
Fa hoy Jeremia: Lainga izany. Tsy miray tetika amin’ ny Kaldeana aho. Nefa tsy nino azy ireo, ka dia nosamborin’ i Jiria ihany Jeremia ary nentiny ho ao amin’ ny mpanapaka.
15 Thy sins have abounded beyond the multitude of thine iniquities, [therefore] they have done these things to thee. Therefore all that devour thee shall be eaten, and all thine enemies shall eat all their [own] flesh.
Ary tezitra tamin’ i Jeremia ny mpanapaka ka nikapoka azy, dia nandatsaka azy tao an-trano-maizina tao amin’ ny tranon’ i Jonatana mpanoratra; fa izany no nataony trano-maizina.
16 And they that spoil thee shall become a spoil, and I will give up to be plundered all that have plundered thee.
Ary nony tafiditra tao an-trano-maizina, tao amin’ ilay niefitrefitra, Jeremia, ka efa nitoetra tao andro maro,
17 For I will bring about thy healing, I will heal thee of thy grievous wound, saith the Lord; for thou art called Dispersed: she is your prey, for no one seeks after her.
dia naniraka haka azy Zedekia mpanjaka; ary ny mpanjaka nanontany azy mangingina tao an-tranony nanao hoe: Moa misy teny avy tamin’ i Jehovah tokoa va? Dia hoy Jeremia: Eny, misy; ary hoy koa izy: Hatolotra eo an-tànan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona ianao.
18 Thus said the Lord; Behold, I will turn the captivity of Jacob, and will have pity upon his prisoners; and the city shall be built upon her hill, and the people shall settle after their manner.
Ary hoy koa Jeremia tamin’ i Zedekia mpanjaka: Inona no ratsy nataoko taminao, na tamin’ ny mpanomponao, na tamin’ ity firenena ity, no dia nataonareo tao an-trano-maizina aho?
19 And there shall go forth from them singers, [even] the sound of men making merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not at all be diminished.
Aiza moa ireo mpaminaninareo, izay naminany taminareo hoe: Tsy ho avy hiady aminareo na hamely ity tany ity ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona?
20 And their sons shall go in as before, and their testimonies shall be established before me, and I will visit them that afflict them.
Koa trarantitra ianao, ry tompokolahy mpanjaka, henoy kely ange! aoka hoborahina eto anatrehanao ny fifonako, ka aza averina ho ao amin’ ny tranon’ i Jonatana mpanoratra aho, fandrao dia maty ao.
21 And their mighty ones shall be over them, and their prince shall proceed of themselves; and I will gather them, and they shall return to me: for who is this that has set his heart to return to me? saith the Lord.
Dia nasain’ i Zedekia mpanjaka nataony teo amin’ ny kianjan’ ny trano fiambenana Jeremia, ka nasainy nomena mofo iray isan’ andro isan’ andro avy any amin’ ny fitoeran’ ny mpanao mofo izy, ambara-pahalanin’ ny mofo rehetra tao an-tanàna. Toy izany no nitoeran’ i Jeremia teo amin’ ny kianjan’ ny trano fiambenana.
23 For the wrathful anger of the lord has gone forth, [even] a whirlwind of anger has gone forth: it shall come upon the ungodly.
24 The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return, until he shall execute [it], and until he shall establish the purpose of his heart: in the latter days ye shall know these things.
