Jeremiah 38
1 Then Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashur the son of Malchiah, heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken unto all the people, saying,
Aa le jinanji’ i Sefatia ana’ i Matane, naho i Gedalia ana’ i Pasore, naho Iokale ana’ i Selemia, naho i Pasore ana’ i Malkia, ty tsara nisaontsie’ Iirmeà am’ ondaty iabio ami’ty hoe,
2 Thus saith YHWH, He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his life for a prey, and shall live.
Hoe t’Iehovà: Ho zamanem-pibara, naho ty hasalikoañe naho ty angorosy ze midoñe an-drova atoy; fe ho veloñe ze mionjomb’ amo nte-kasdio mb’eo, le hengañe ama’e ty fiai’e ho tsindroke vaho ho veloñe.
3 Thus saith YHWH, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which shall take it.
Hoe t’Iehovà, Toe hatolotse am-pità’ ty lia-rain-dahindefo’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveleiy ty rova toy vaho ho tavaneñe.
4 Therefore the princes said unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.
Le hoe i roandriañe rey amy mpanjakay, Ehe, mihalaly ama’o zahay te havetrake indatiy; amy te mokore’e ty fità’ o lahindefo sisa an-drova atoio, naho ty fità’ ondaty iabio, ie taroñe’e i tsara zay le t’ie tsy mipay ty hahasoa ondaty retoa fa ty hampiantoa’e.
5 Then Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand: for the king is not he that can do any thing against you.
Le hoe t’i Tsidkia mpanjaka am’ iereo, Ingo, am-pità’ areo re: fa ia’ mbao ty mpanjaka te hahafiatrek’ ama’ areo?
6 Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the son of Hammelech, that was in the court of the prison: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire: so Jeremiah sunk in the mire.
Aa le rinambe’ iereo t’Iirmeà vaho nagodo’ iareo an-kadaha’ i Malkia ana’ i mpanjakay, an-kiririsam-pigaritse ao naho nazotso’ iareo an-taly t’Iirmeà. Tsy aman-drano i kadahay, fa fotake, vaho nilempotse an-ditsak’ ao t’Iirmeà.
7 Now when Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs which was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon; the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin;
Aa ie jinanji’ i Ebed-meleke nte Kosy, vositse, añ’anjomba’ i mpanjakay te najo’ iareo an-kadaha ao t’Iirmeà—ie tandalam-bei’ i Beniamine eo i mpanjakay,
8 Ebed-melech went forth out of the king's house, and spake to the king, saying,
le niakatse añ’ anjombam-panjaka ao t’i Ebed-meleke vaho nisaontsy amy mpanjakay ty hoe,
9 My master the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is like to die for hunger in the place where he is: for there is no more bread in the city.
O ry talèko mpanjaka, Hekoheko raty ty nanoe’ ondaty reo amy fonga fitoloña’ iareo am’ Iirmeà mpitokiy, ie najorobo an-kadaha ao; toe hihomak’ an-toe’e ao re ty amy mosarey, ie tsy ama-mofo ka ty an-drova atoy.
10 Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die.
Aa le nafanto’ i mpanjakay amy Ebed-meleke nte Kosy ty hoe: Angalao ondaty telo-polo atoy, vaho akaro an-kadaha ao t’Iirmeà mpitoky, tsy mone hihomake.
11 So Ebed-melech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence old cast clouts and old rotten rags, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.
Aa le nampindreze’ i Ebed-meleke ama’e i ondaty rey, le nizilik’ añ’ anjomba’ i mpanjakay ambane’ i trañom-baray le nandrambe tsirodea naho tsikotita, vaho nazotso’ iareo an-taly mb’am’ Iirmeà amy kadahay.
12 And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, Put now these old cast clouts and rotten rags under thine armholes under the cords. And Jeremiah did so.
Le hoe t’i Ebed-meleke nte-Kosy am’ Iirmeà, Ano an-kilek’ ao o tsirodea naho tsikotitao ty amo tàlio. Le nanoe’ Iirmeà.
13 So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and took him up out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
Aa le tinari’ iareo mañambone amo talìo t’Iirmeà, naho naaka’ iareo an-kadahay, vaho nidok’ an’ kiririsam-pigaritse ao t’Iirmeà.
14 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry that is in the house of YHWH: and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing; hide nothing from me.
Nampisangitrife’ i Tsidkia am’ Iirmeà mpitoky vaho nendese’e mb’an-dalambey faha-telo añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao, le hoe i mpanjakay am’ Iirmeà. Hañontane raha ama’o iraho le ko añetaha’o ndra inoñ’ inoñe.
15 Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I declare it unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, wilt thou not hearken unto me?
Le hoe t’Iirmeà amy Tsidkia, Aa naho taroñeko, tsy hañohofa’o loza hao? Aa ndra te toroako, ho haoñe’o hao?
16 So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As YHWH liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life.
Aa le nanao fanta añ’ etake am’ Iirmeà t’i Tsidkia mpanjaka ami’ty hoe, Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà nitsene i sandrin-tika retoa, tsy havetrako irehe, naho tsy hatoloko am-pità’ ondaty mipay ty fiai’oo.
17 Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith YHWH, the Elohim of hosts, the Elohim of Israel; If thou wilt assuredly go forth unto the king of Babylon's princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shall live, and thine house:
Aa le hoe t’Iirmeà amy Tsidkia, Hoe t’Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ i màroy, i Andrianañahare’ Israeley: Ie hiakatse mb’amo roandriam-panjaka’ i Baveleo ey, le ho veloñe ty fiai’o, naho tsy ho forototoe’ ty afo ty rova toy; vaho ho velon-drehe naho i anjomba’oy.
18 But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou shalt not escape out of their hand.
Fa naho tsy hiavotse mb’amo roandriam-panjaka’ i Baveleo irehe, le hatolotse am-pità’ o nte Kasdio ty rova toy vaho ho tomomohe’ iareo afo, ihe tsy ho votsorem-pità’ iareo.
19 And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews that are fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me.
Aa hoe t’i Tsidkia mpanjaka am’ Iirmeà, Atahorako o nte Iehodà nivalike mb’amo nte-Kasdioo, hera hanese ahy am-pità’ iareo ho kizaheñe.
20 But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver thee. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of YHWH, which I speak unto thee: so it shall be well unto thee, and thy soul shall live.
Fa hoe t’Iirmeà: Tsy hasese’ iereo. Ehe, mivohora am’ Iehovà ty amy nivolañakoy soa te hierañeran-drehe vaho ho veloñe ty fiai’o.
21 But if thou refuse to go forth, this is the word that YHWH hath shewed me:
F’ihe mifoneñe tsy hionjoñe mb’eo, le zao ty tsara’ Iehovà natoro’e ahy:
22 And, behold, all the women that are left in the king of Judah's house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon's princes, and those women shall say, Thy friends have set thee on, and have prevailed against thee: thy feet are sunk in the more, and they are turned away back.
Inao! ze rakemba sisa añ’ anjombam-panjaka’ Iehodà ao ro songa hakareñe mb’ amo roandria’ i Baveleo: Le ty hoe ty ho asa’ i rakemba rey: O rañe’oo ty nañosik’azo, vaho nandrekets’ azo, aa hehe te nilempotse an-ditsak’ ao o fandia’oo le nitsambolitio’ iareo.
23 So they shall bring out all thy wives and thy children to the Chaldeans: and thou shalt not escape out of their hand, but shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and thou shalt cause this city to be burned with fire.
Hene hakare’ iereo mb’amo nte Kasdio o valy naho ana’oo; le tsy ho votsotse am’pità’ iareo irehe fa ho rambesem-pità’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveley, vaho ihe ty hamorototoañe ty rova toy an’ afo.
24 Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and thou shalt not die.
Le hoe t’i Tsidkia am’Iirmeà, Ao tsy hampahafohine’o am’ondaty i rehake zay le tsy ho mate irehe.
25 But if the princes hear that I have talked with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee, Declare unto us now what thou hast said unto the king, hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; also what the king said unto thee:
Aa naho rendre’ o roandriañeo te nifanaontsy tika, naho ivotraha’ iareo vaho manao ty hoe: Ehe saontsio ama’ay le nitaroñe’o amy mpanjakaiy naho i nisaontsia’ i mpanjakaiy, le ko añetaha’o, tsy hañohofa’ay loza:
26 Then thou shalt say unto them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house, to die there.
Le ty hoe ty hatoi’o, I entako amy mpanjakay: Ie nihalaliako te tsy hampibalike ahy mb’añ’anjomba’ Ionatane mb’eo hivetrak’ ao.
27 Then came all the princes unto Jeremiah, and asked him: and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they left off speaking with him; for the matter was not perceived.
Ie amy zao sindre niropak’ am’ Iirmeà o roandriañeo nañontane aze, le tinaro’e am’iareo i entañe iaby nampisaontsie’ i mpanjakaiy. Aa le nado’ iareo ty fisaontsiañe ama’e; vaho tsy nioni’ iareo ty vente’e.
28 So Jeremiah abode in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem was taken: and he was there when Jerusalem was taken.
Nimoneñe an-kiririsam-pigaritse ao amy zao re ampara’ ty andro’ nitavanañe Ierosalaime.
