Jeremiah 42
1 Then all the army commanders, together with Johanan son of Kareah, Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah, and everyone from the least to the most important came to
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, “Please listen to our request.
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 to the Lord your God for all of us. As you can see there's only a few of us left compared to how many there were before. In your prayer please ask the Lord your God to tell where to go and what to do.”
soa te hatoro’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ama’ay ty hañaveloa’ay naho ty hanoe’ay.
4 “I'll do as you ask,” Jeremiah replied. “I will definitely pray to the Lord your God as you've requested, and I'll tell you everything he says. I won't keep anything back 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 don't do everything that the Lord your God tells you we should.
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 Good or bad, we will obey what the Lord our God says, the one we're asking you to speak to. That way everything will go well with us, because we will be obeying what the Lord our God says.”
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 Ten days later a message from the Lord came to Jeremiah.
Aa ie nimodo ty folo andro, le niheo am’ Iirmeà ty tsara’ Iehovà.
8 He summoned Johanan, all the army commanders, and everyone from the least to the most important.
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, This what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to those of who you sent to me to present your request:
vaho nanoe’e ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israeley, ie namantoha’ areo ahy hañenga i halali’ areoy añatrefa’e.
10 If you will stay right here in this country, then I will build you up and I won't tear you down; I will plant you and I won't uproot you; because I'm very sad about the disaster I have brought down on 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 I know you fear the king of Babylon, but you don't need to be afraid of him, declares the Lord. I am with you to save you and rescue 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 I will be merciful to you, so that he will be merciful to you and will let you stay in your own country.
Le ho tolorako tretrè soa te hiferenaiña’e le hampolie’e mb’an-tane’ areo ao.
13 But if you say, “We won't stay here in this country,” and by doing so disobey what the Lord your God says;
F’ie mone hanao ty hoe: Tsy himoneña’ay ty tane toy; amy te tsy haoñe’ areo ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo;
14 or if you say instead, “No, we're going to Egypt to live there, where we won't experience war or hear trumpets sounding or go hungry;”
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 listen to what the Lord says, you survivors from Judah! This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: If you're absolutely determined to go to Egypt and live 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 war you're so frightened of will catch up with you there, and the famine you're so terrified of will chase after you 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 Everyone who decides to go to Egypt and live there will die by war and famine and disease. Not a single one will survive or escape the disaster I will bring down on 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 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: In the same way that my furious anger was poured out on the people living in Jerusalem, so will my anger be poured out on you if you go to Egypt. People will be horrified at what happens to you, and you will become a curse word, an insult, an expression of condemnation. You won't ever see your homeland 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, survivors from Judah, ‘Don't go to Egypt,’” Jeremiah concluded. “Be absolutely clear about this warning I'm giving you today!
Hoe ty nitsarà’ Iehovà ama’areo ry sehanga’ Iehodào; Ko mimoak’ e Mitsraime ao; mahafohina te hinatahatako anindroany.
20 You've made a big mistake that will cost you your lives by sending me to the Lord your God, asking, ‘Pray to the Lord our God for us, and let us know everything the Lord our God says and we'll 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 I have told you today what he said, but you have not obeyed everything the Lord your God 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 So you should know that without question you're going to die by war and famine and disease in Egypt where you want to go and live.”
Mahafohina an-katò t’ie hampihomahem-pibara naho ty mosare vaho ty angorosy amy toetse tea’ areo hombañe hañialoa’ areoy.
