Jeremias 43
1 IN THE FOURTH YEAR OF JOAKIM son of Josias king of Juda, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Ary rehefa tapitra voalazan’ i Jeremia tamin’ ny vahoaka rehetra izany teny rehetra avy tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny izany, izay nanirahan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra azy holazaina aminy,
2 Take thee a roll of a book, and write upon it all the words which I spoke to thee against Jerusalem, and against Juda, and against all the nations, from the day when I spoke to thee, from the days of Josias king of Juda, even to this day.
dia niteny Azaria, zanak’ i Hosaia, sy Johanana, zanak’ i Karea, mbamin’ ny olona mpirehareha rehetra ka niteny tamin’ i Jeremia hoe: Mandainga ianao; fa tsy naniraka anao Jehovah Andriamanitsika hilaza hoe: Aza mandeha hivahiny any Egypta;
3 Perhaps the house of Juda will hear all the evils which I purpose to do to them; that they may turn from their evil way; and [so] I will be merciful to their iniquities and their sins.
fa Baroka, zanak’ i Neria, no nanome fo anao hamely anay mba hanolotra anay ho eo an-tànan’ ny Kaldeana hahafaty anay sy hahalasa anay ho babo any Babylona.
4 So Jeremias called Baruch the son of Nerias: and he wrote from the mouth of Jeremias all the words of the Lord, which he had spoken to him, on a roll of a book.
Ary Johanana, zanak’ i Karea, sy ny mpifehy ny miaramila rehetra ary ny vahoaka rehetra dia tsy nihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah ny amin’ ny honenany ao amin’ ny tanin’ ny Joda.
5 And Jeremias commanded Baruch, saying, I am in prison; I cannot enter into the house of the Lord:
Fa Johanana, zanak’ i Karea, sy ny mpifehy ny miaramila rehetra dia nitondra ny sisa rehetra tamin’ ny Joda, izay niverina avy tany amin’ ny firenena rehetra nandroahana azy honina ao amin’ ny tanin’ ny Joda,
6 so thou shalt read in this roll in the ears of the people in the house of the Lord, on the fast day; and in the ears of all Juda that come out of their cities, thou shalt read to them.
dia ny lehilahy sy ny zaza amim-behivavy sy ny vehivavy zanak’ andriana ary ny olona rehetra izay navelan’ i Nebozaradana, lehiben’ ny mpiambina, tao amin’ i Gedalia, zanak’ i Ahikama, zanak’ i Safana, sy tao amin’ i Jeremia mpaminany sy Baroka, zanak’ i Neria
7 Peradventure their supplication will come before the Lord, and they will turn from their evil way: for great is the wrath and the anger of the Lord, which he has pronounced against this people.
ka dia nankany amin’ ny tany Egypta izy ireny, fa tsy nihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah, ary dia tonga hatrany Tapanesa.
8 And Baruch did according to all that Jeremias commanded him—reading in the book the words of the Lord in the Lord's house.
Dia tonga tamin’ i Jeremia tao Tapanesa ny tenin’ i Jehovah hoe:
9 And it came to pass in the eighth year of king Joakim, in the ninth month, all the people in Jerusalem, and the house of Juda, proclaimed a fast before the Lord.
Mitondrà vato lehibe eny an-tananao, ka afeno ao amin’ ny feta ao amin’ ny gorodona taila, izay eo akaikin’ ny vavahady amin’ ny tranon’ i Farao ao Tapanesa, eo imason’ ny lehilahy amin’ ny Joda,
10 And Baruch read in the book the words of Jeremias in the house of the Lord, in the house of Gamarias son of Saphan the scribe, in the upper court, in the entrance of the new gate of the house of the Lord, and in the ears of all the people.
ka lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Indro Aho haniraka haka an’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, mpanompoko, ka haoriko amin’ ireto vato nafeniko ireto ny seza fiandrianany; ary hamelatra ny lambany tsara tarehy hatao alokaloka eo amboniny izy.
11 And Michaeas the son of Gamarias the son of Saphan heard all the words of the Lord, out of the book.
Eny, ho avy izy hamely ny tany Egypta, ka izay ho amin’ ny areti-mandringana dia ho amin’ ny areti-mandringana, ary izay ho amin’ ny fahababoana dia ho amin’ ny fahababoana, ary izay ho amin’ ny sabatra dia ho amin’ ny sabatra.
12 And he went down to the king's house, into the house of the scribe: and, behold, there were sitting there all the princes, Elisama the scribe, and Dalaeas the son of Selemias, and Jonathan the son of Acchobor, and Gamarias the son of Saphan, and Sedekias the son of Ananias, and all the princes.
Ary handrehitra afo ao amin’ ny tranon’ ny andriamanitr’ i Egypta Aho, ka dia hodorany sy hobaboiny ireo, ary hitafy ny tany Egypta izy toy ny fitafin’ ny mpiandry ondry ny lambany; ary hiala any amin’ ny fiadanana izy.
13 And Michaeas reported to them all the words which he had heard Baruch reading in the ears of the people.
Ary hotorotoroiny ny tsangam-baton-tsampy ao Beti-semesy, izay any amin’ ny tany Egypta; ary hodorany amin’ ny afo ny tranon’ ny andriamanitr’ i Egypta.
14 And all the princes sent to Baruch son of Nerias Judin the son of Nathanias, the son of Selemias, the son of Chusi, saying, Take in thine hand the roll in which thou readest in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch took the roll, and went down to them.
15 And they said to him, Read [it] again in our ears. And Baruch read [it].
16 And it came to pass, when they [had] heard all the words, [that] they took counsel each with his neighbour, and said, Let us by all means tell the king all these words.
17 And they asked Baruch, saying, Where didst thou write all these words?
18 And Baruch said, Jeremias told me from his [own] mouth all these words, and I wrote them in a book.
19 And they said to Baruch, Go, and hide, thou and Jeremias; let no man know where ye [are].
20 And they went in to the king into the court, and gave the roll [to one] to keep in the house of Elisama; and they told the king all these words.
21 And the king sent Judin to fetch the roll: and he took it out of the house of Elisama: and Judin read in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes who stood round the king.
22 Now the king was sitting in the winter house: and [there was] a fire on the hearth before him.
23 And it came to pass when Judin had read three or four leaves, he cut them off with a penknife, and cast [them] into the fire that was on the hearth, until the whole roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.
24 And the king and his servants that heard all these words sought not [the Lord], and rent not their garments.
25 But Elnathan and Godolias suggested to the king that he should burn the roll.
26 And the king commanded Jeremeel the king's son, and Saraeas the son of Esriel, to take Baruch and Jeremias: but they were hidden.
27 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, after the king had burnt the roll, [even] all the words which Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremias, saying,
28 Again take thou another roll, and write all the words that were on the roll, which king Joakim has burnt.
29 And thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord; Thou hast burnt this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come in, and destroy this land, and man and cattle shall fail from off it?
30 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning Joakim king of Juda; He shall not have [a man] to sit on the throne of David: and his carcass shall be cast forth in the heat by day, and in the frost by night.
31 And I will visit him, and his family, and his servants: and I will bring upon him, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the land of Juda, all the evils which I spoke of to them; and they hearkened not.
32 And Baruch took another roll, and wrote upon it from the mouth of Jeremias all the words of the book which Joakim had burnt: and there were yet more words added to it like the former.
