< Jeremiah 44 >

1 This is the message that came to Jeremiah regarding all the people of Judah living in Egypt—in Migdol, Tahpanhes, and Memphis—and in Upper Egypt.
Ty tsara niheo am’ Iirmeà ty amo nte-Iehodà iaby nañialo an-tane Mitsraimeo, o nimoneñe e Migdole naho e Takpanese naho e Nofe vaho an-tane’ i Patroseo, nanao ty hoe:
2 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: You saw the complete disaster that I brought down on Jerusalem and all the towns of Judah. You can see how today they're ruined and abandoned
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, i Andrianañahare’ Israeley, Fa niisa’ areo i fonga hankàñe nafetsako am’ Ierosalaime naho amo hene rova’ Iehodao; le heheke t’ie mangoakoake henaneo naho tsy imoneña’ ondaty,
3 because of the evil they did. They made me angry by burning incense and serving other gods that they hadn't ever known, and you and your forefathers hadn't known either.
ty amy halò-tsereke nanoe’ iereo hampibosek’ ahy, ie niheo mb’amo ndrahare ila’eo, nañenga naho nitoroñe iareo, o tsy nifohi’ iereoo; ie ndra nahareo, ndra o roae’ areoo;
4 I sent you all my servants the prophets time and again to warn you: “Don't do these offensive things that I hate.”
ndra te nampihitrifeko ama’ areo o mpitoky mpitoroko iabio nañampitso t’ie niraheñe ninday ty hoe: Ehe, ko anoe’ areo o raha tiva hejekoo.
5 But you refused to listen or to pay attention. You didn't stop their wickedness or burning incense in worship of other gods.
F’ie tsy nañaoñe, tsy nanokilan-dravembia, tsy nibalintoa amo hatsivokarañeo, hijihera’ iareo ty fañembohañe aman-drahare ila’e.
6 That's why my furious anger poured out and set fire to the towns of Judah and burned in the streets of Jerusalem, making them the abandoned ruins they still are today.
Aa le nidoandoañe ty fiforoforoan-kabosehako, vaho namorototo an-drova’ Iehodà ao naho an-damo’ Ierosalaime ey, ampara’ t’ie nangoakoake naho kafoake, vaho ie henaneo.
7 So this is what the Lord God Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Why are you hurting yourselves so badly by removing from Judah every man, woman, child, infant, so you don't have anyone left?
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà, t’i Andrianañahare’ i màroy, t’i Andrianañahare’ Israele; Akore ty anoe’ areo ty haloloañe jabajaba zao hampiantoa’ areo fiaiñe hañitoa’ areo am’ Iehodà ze ondaty naho rakemba, ajaja naho anak’ ajaja minono, soa te leo raike tsy ho sisañe ama’ areo;
8 Why are you making me angry by what you do, burning incense to other gods in Egypt where you have come to live? Because if this you will be destroyed, and will you will become a curse word, an expression of condemnation among all the nations on earth.
amy te sinigi’ areo iraho amo satam-pità’ areoo, ty fañenga’ areo aman-drahare ila’e an-tane Mitsraime ao, i nisesea’ areoy; soa t’ie haitoañe vaho ho fokom-patse naho titse amo kilakila’ ondati’ ty tane toio?
9 Have you forgotten the evil of your forefathers and the evil of the kings of Judah and the evil of their wives, as well as your own evil and the evil your wives, all practiced in the country of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Nihaliño’ areo hao ty fitoloñan-dratin-droae’ areo naho ty sata-rati’ o mpanjaka’ Iehodào naho ty sata-rati’ o vali’eo, naho ty sata-rati’ areo naho ty sata-ratin-tañanjomba’ areo, o nanoe’ iereo an-tane’ Iehodà ao naho an-dala’ Ierosalaimeo?
10 Even up to now you haven't shown any remorse or reverence. You haven't followed my rules and regulations I gave you and your forefathers.
Mboe tsy nireke pake henane, mbore tsy mañeveñe, tsy mañavelo an-Kàke ndra amo fañè najadoko aolo’ areo, añatrefan-droae’ areo.
11 So this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am determined to bring disaster and to wipe out everyone from Judah.
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, t’i Andrianañahare’ Israele; Inao te hatreatrèko ama’ areo ty tareheko ho ami’ty hankàñe, le fonga haitoako t’Iehodà;
12 I'm going to destroy you who are left who decided to go to Egypt to live there. You will die there, killed by the sword or by famine. Whoever you are, from the least to the most important, you're going to die by sword or by famine; and you will become a curse word, something horrible, an insult, an expression of condemnation.
naho haitoako ty sehanga’ Iehodà niatre-daharañe mbe Mitsraime mb’etoy hitaveañe, naho songa ho mongo­reñe, toe hikoromak’ an-tane Mitsraime atoa nahareo, ho zevoñem-pibara naho ty hasalikoañe, fonga hivetrake, ty kede naho ty bey, ami’ty mesolava naho ty kerè; le ho fatse, naho fampangebahebahañe naho fanirañe vaho fañinjeañe.
13 I'm going to punish you who live in Egypt like I punished Jerusalem, by war and famine and disease.
Amy te ho liloveko o mañialo an-tane Mitsraimeo, manahake ty nandilovako Ierosalaime, ami’ty fibara naho ty kerè vaho ty angorosy,
14 Nobody who is left from Judah who has gone to live in Egypt will escape or survive to return to the country of Judah. You long to go back and live there, but nobody will return except a few stragglers.
leo raike tsy hipota­tsake ndra hahatambeloñe amo sehanga’ Iehodà nitaveañe mb’ an-tane Mitsraime hañialo añeo vaho himpoly mb’an-tane’ Iehodà añe, mb’amy fañiria’ iareoy; amy te tsy eo ty himpoly añe naho tsy o tsy ampe mahapolititseo avao.
15 All the men who knew that their wives were burning incense to other gods, and all the women who were there, a great crowd of people, those living in Egypt and Upper Egypt all told Jeremiah,
Aa le nanoiñe am’ Iirmeà ondaty nahafohiñe te nañenga amo ‘ndrahare ila’eo o vali’eoo naho o rakemba nizorazora eio naho i valobohòkey vaho ze hene ondaty nimoneñe an-tane Mitsraime e Patrose ao, ami’ty hoe,
16 “Even though you say this message is from the Lord, we're not going to listen to you”
I tsara nisaontsie’o ama’ay ami’ty tahina’ Iehovày: Tsy hañaoñe azo zahay.
17 In fact we're going to do everything we said we would. We'll burn incense to the Queen of Heaven and offer drink offerings to worship her as we did before, just like our fathers, our kings, and our officials who did the same things in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. Back then we had plenty of food and we were well off and nothing bad happened to us.
Fa tsy mete tsy hanoe’ay ze fonga enta’ naka­re’ o vava’aio, ty hañemboke amy mpanjaka-ampelan-dikerañey, naho ty hampidoañañe enga-rano, fa izay ty sata’ay, zahay naho o roae’aio, o mpanjaka’aio, o roandria’aio an-tane’ Iehodà naho an-dala’ Ierosalaime ao; amy t’ie nienen-kaneñe henane zay, vaho nijangañe, vaho tsy nizo hankàñe.
18 But ever since we stopped burning incense to the Queen of Heaven and pouring out drink offerings to worship her, we've lost everything and have been dying as a result of war and famine.
Fe mifototse ami’ty nampipoha’ay ty fañengañe amy mpanjaka ampelan-dike­rañey, naho ty fampidoaña’ay enga rano, le nipo-vara, vaho nizamanem-pibara naho ty kerè.
19 “On top of that,” the women added, “when we burned incense to the Queen of Heaven and poured out drink offerings to worship her, did we do this without our husbands knowing about it, that we baked cakes stamped with her image and poured out drink offerings to worship her?”
Aa vaho zahay avao hao ty mañenga amy mpanjakan-dikerañey naho mañiliñe enga-rano ama’e? Mamboatse mofomamy ami’ty vinta’e naho mampidoañe engan-drano ama’e hao zahay naho tsy eo valy?
20 Jeremiah replied to all the people, both men and women, who were responding to him,
Aa le hoe t’Iirmeà am’ondaty iabio, amo lahilahio naho amo rakembao naho amy ze fonga ondaty nanoiñe aze amy hoe zay:
21 “About that incense you burned to other gods in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, as well as your fathers, your kings, your officials, and the ordinary people—don't you think the Lord wouldn't remember and think about it?
O tsotse nañemboha’ areo an-drova’ Iehodà naho an-dala’ Ierosalaimeo, inahareo naho o rae’ areoo naho o mpanjaka’ areoo naho o roandria’ areoo naho ondati’ i taneio; tsy niarofoana’ Iehovà hao, tsy nizilik’ am-pitsakorea’e ao hao?
22 The Lord couldn't take it anymore—the evil things you did and your disgusting acts—so your country was turned into an uninhabited wasteland, a place of horror and a curse word to others, as it still is today.
Ampara te tsy nileo’ Iehovà o sata-rati’ areoo, naho o raha tiva nanoe’ areoo; toly ndra ninjare kòake ty tane’ areo, toe halatsa­ñe, vaho fatse, tsy amam-pimoneñe pake henaneo.
23 As you can see today, the disaster you've experienced happened because you burned incense to other gods and sinned against the Lord, refusing to listen to the Lord or to follow his instructions, his rules, and his regulations.”
I fañenga’ areo irezay, o hakeo’ areo am’ Iehovào, t’ie tsy nañaoñe ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà, te tsy nañavelo an-Kàke, ndra amo fañè’eo, ndra amo fitaroña’eo: ie ty nifetsaha’ o hekoheko zao ama’ areo henaneo.
24 Then Jeremiah told everyone, including all the women, “Listen to the Lord's message, all you people from Judah living here in Egypt.
Tinovo’ Iirmeà ty hoe am’ ondaty iabio, naho amo rakemba iabio: Janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà, ry hene Iehodà an-tane’ Mitsraime atoio:
25 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: You and your wives, you've said what you're going to do, and you've done what you said! You said, ‘We're going to keep our promise to burn incense to the Queen of Heaven and to pour out drink offerings to worship her.’ So go ahead! Do what you've said! Keep your promises!
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, t’i Andrianañahare’ Israele: Fonga nisaontsy am-palie nahareo naho o tañanjomba’ areoo vaho nihenefem-pità’ areo ami’ty hoe, Toe hanoe’ay o fanta nititihe’aio naho hañenga amy mpanjaka-ampelan-dike­rañey, naho hañily enga rano ama’e; Toe hajado’ areo o nifantà’ areoo vaho ho henefe’ areo o fititiha’ areoo.
26 But even so, listen to what the Lord says, all you people from Judah living here in Egypt: I guarantee by all that I am, says the Lord, that none of you living in the Egypt will ever use my name or swear, ‘As the Lord God lives.’
Ehe tsendreño ty tsara’ Iehovà, ry Iehodà mpañialo e Mitsraime atoañ’ iabio; Ingo fa nifanta amy añarako ra’elahiy iraho, hoe t’Iehovà, te le lia’e tsy ho toñoneñe am-palie’ ondaty nte-Iehodà an-tane Mitsraime atoao ty añarako ami’ty hoe, Kanao veloñe t’i Talè Iehovà.
27 I will take care of them in the bad sense, and not in the good sense. All the people from Judah who are in Egypt will die by sword or famine, until they are wiped out.
Inao! haratiañe ty añambenako iareo, fa tsy fañasoàñe; vaho fonga ho mongore’ ty fibara naho ty hasalikoañe ze lahilahi’ Iehodà an-tane’ Mitsraime atoy, ampara’ te tsy aman-tsehanga’e.
28 Those who manage to avoid being killed by the sword will go back to Judah from Egypt. But there will only be a few of them, and then all who were left from Judah and went to live in Egypt will know who's telling the truth—me or them!
Fe hipolititse amy fibaray ty honka’e tsy ampe boak’an-tane Mitsraime atoa homb’an-tane’ Iehodà mb’eo, soa te ho fohi’ i hengaha’ Iehodà nivotrak’ an-tane Mitsraime hañialoa’ey, te, ty tsara’ ia ty ho to, ke ty ahy he ty a iareo?
29 This is your sign to prove that I'm going to punish you here, declares the Lord, so that you'll know for certain that my threats against you will really happen.
Le inao, ty viloñe ama’ areo, hoe t’Iehovà, te toe hitilihako an-toetse atoy, hahafohina’ areo te vata’e hijadoñe ama’ areo ho ami’ty hankàñe o entakoo:
30 This is what the Lord says: Look! I'm going to hand over Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt to his enemies who are trying to kill him, in the same way that I handed over Zedekiah king of Judah to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, his enemy who was trying to kill him.”
fa hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Ingo te hatoloko am-pità’ o rafelahi’eo naho am-pità’ o mipay ty fiai’eo t’i Parò-Kofrà mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime, hambañ’ amy nanolorako i Tsidkia, mpanjaka’ Iehodà, am-pita’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele, rafalahi’e nipay t’y fiai’e.
