Jeremiah 37
1 And King Zedekiah the sonne of Iosiah reigned for Coniah the sonne of Iehoiakim, whome Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel made King in the land of Iudah.
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 But neither he, nor his seruants, nor the people of the land would obey the wordes of the Lord, which he spake by the ministerie of the Prophet Ieremiah.
nefa na izy, na ny mpanompony, na ny vahoaka, dia samy tsy nihaino ny tenin’ i Jehovah, izay nampilazainy an’ i Jeremia mpaminany.
3 And Zedekiah the King sent Iehucal the sonne of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the sonne of Maaseiah the Priest to the Prophet Ieremiah, saying, Pray now vnto the Lord our God for vs.
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 (Now Ieremiah went in and out among the people: for they had not put him into the prison.
Ary Jeremia mbola niditra sy nivoaka teo amin’ ny olona ihany; fa tsy mbola nataony tao an-trano-maizina izy.
5 Then Pharaohs hoste was come out of Egypt: and when the Caldeans that besieged Ierusalem, heard tidings of them, they departed from Ierusalem)
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 Then came the worde of the Lord vnto the Prophet Ieremiah, saying,
Dia tonga tamin’ i Jeremia mpaminany ny tenin’ i Jehovah hoe:
7 Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, Thus shall ye say to the King of Iudah, that sent you vnto me to inquire of me, Behold, Pharaohs hoste, which is come forth to helpe you, shall returne to Egypt into their owne land.
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 And the Caldeans shall come againe, and fight against this citie, and take it and burne it with fire.
fa ho avy indray ny Kaldeana ka hamely ity tanana ity sady hanafaka azy sy handoro azy amin’ ny afo.
9 Thus sayth the Lord, Deceiue not your selues, saying, The Caldeans shall surely depart from vs: for they shall not depart.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Aza mamita-tena foana ianareo ka manao hoe: Hiala amintsika tokoa ny Kaldeana; fa tsy hiala izy tsy akory.
10 For though ye had smitten the whole hoste of the Caldeans that fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yet should euery man rise vp in his tent, and burne this citie with fire.
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.
11 When the hoste of the Caldeans was broken vp from Ierusalem, because of Pharaohs armie,
Ary raha niala tany Jerosalema ny miaramilan’ ny Kaldeana noho ny amin’ ny miaramilan’ i Farao,
12 Then Ieremiah went out of Ierusalem to goe into the land of Beniamin, separating himselfe thence from among the people.
dia nivoaka Jeremia avy tao Jerosalema hankany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Benjamina mba handray izay anjarany eo amin’ ny vahoaka.
13 And when hee was in the gate of Beniamin, there was a chiefe officer, whose name was Iriiah, the sonne of Shelemiah, the sonne of Hananiah, and he tooke Ieremiah the Prophet, saying, Thou fleest to the Caldeans.
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 Then sayde Ieremiah, That is false, I flee not to the Caldeans: but he would not heare him: so Iriiah tooke Ieremiah, and brought him to the princes.
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 Wherefore the princes were angry with Ieremiah, and smote him, and layde him in prison in the house of Iehonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison.
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 When Ieremiah was entred into the dungeon, and into the prisons, and had remained there a long time,
Ary nony tafiditra tao an-trano-maizina, tao amin’ ilay niefitrefitra, Jeremia, ka efa nitoetra tao andro maro,
17 Then Zedekiah the King sent, and tooke him out, and the King asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any worde from the Lord? And Ieremiah sayd, Yea: for, sayd he, thou shalt be deliuered into the hand of the King of Babel.
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 Moreouer, Ieremiah sayd vnto King Zedekiah, What haue I offended against thee, or against thy seruants, or against this people, that ye haue put me in prison?
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 Where are nowe your prophets, which prophecied vnto you, saying, The King of Babel shall not come against you, nor against this land?
Aiza moa ireo mpaminaninareo, izay naminany taminareo hoe: Tsy ho avy hiady aminareo na hamely ity tany ity ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona?
20 Therefore heare nowe, I pray thee, O my lorde the King: let my prayer be accepted before thee, that thou cause mee not to returne to the house of Iehonathan the scribe, least I die there.
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 Then Zedekiah the King commanded, that they should put Ieremiah in the court of the prison, and that they should giue him dayly a piece of bread out of the bakers streete vntill all the bread in the citie were eaten vp. Thus Ieremiah remained in the court of the prison.
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.
