Jeremiah 38
1 And Shephatyah the son of Matthan, and Gedalyahu the son of Pashchur, and Juchal the son of Shelemyahu, and Pashchur the son of Malkiyah, heard the words that Jeremiah was speaking unto all the people, saying,
Ary Safatia, zanak’ i Matana, sy Gedalia, zanak’ i Pasora, sy Jokala, zanak’ i Semelia, ary Pasora, zanak’ i Malkia, dia nandre ny teny izay efa nolazain’ i Jeremia tamin’ ny vahoaka rehetra nanao hoe:
2 Thus hath said the Lord, 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; and he shall have his life as a booty, and shall live.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Izay mitoetra amin’ ity tanàna ity dia ho fatin-tsabatra sy mosary ary areti-mandringana; fa izay mivoaka hanatona ny Kaldeana kosa no ho velona; fa ny ainy no ho babony, ka ho velona izy.
3 Thus hath said the Lord, This city shall surely be given up into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he shall capture it.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Ity tanàna ity dia hatolotra eo an-tànan’ ny miaramilan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona tokoa ka ho afany.
4 Thereupon said the princes unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death; for the cause that he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that are yet left in this city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking such words unto them; for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but their hurt.
Dia hoy ny mpanapaka tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Trarantitra ianao, aoka hovonoina ity lehilahy ity; fa mampiraviravy tanana ny miaramila izay sisa amin’ ity tanàna ity mbamin’ ny olona rehetra izy noho ny nitenenany taminy araka izany teny izany; fa ity lehilahy ity tsy mba mitady izay hiadanan’ ity firenena ity, fa izay hahatonga loza aminy kosa.
5 Then said king Zedekiah, Behold, he is in your hand; for the king is not able to do any thing against you.
Dia hoy Zedekia mpanjaka: Indro, eo an-tananareo izy; fa ny mpanjaka tsy mahefa na inona na inona hisakana anareo.
6 Then did they take Jeremiah, and cast him into the pit of Malkiyahu the son of the king, that was in the court of the prison: and they let Jeremiah down with cords; but in the pit there was no water, but mire; so that Jeremiah sunk into the mire.
Ary naka an’ i Jeremia izy ka nandatsaka azy tao amin’ ny lavaka famorian-dranon’ i Malkia, zanak’ andriana, izay tao amin’ ny kianjan’ ny trano fiambenana; ary nampidininy tamin’ ny mahazaka Jeremia. Ary tsy nisy rano tao amin’ ny lavaka, fa fotaka fotsiny ihany, ka dia nilentika tamin’ ny fotaka Jeremia.
7 Now when 'Ebed-melech the Cushi, a eunuch who was in the king's house, heard that they had placed Jeremiah into the pit; while the king was sitting in the gate of Benjamin:
Ary Ebeda-meleka Etiopiana, tandapa anankiray tao amin’ ny tranon’ ny mpanjaka, raha nandre ny nandatsahany an’ i Jeremia tao amin’ ny lavaka (nipetraka teo amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny Benjamina ny mpanjaka androtr’ iny),
8 'Ebed-melech went forth out of the king's house, and spoke to the king, saying,
dia nivoaka avy tao an-tranon’ ny mpanjaka izy ka nanao tamin’ ny mpanjaka hoe:
9 My lord, O king, these men have done wrong in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the pit; and he would have had to die [as it is] in the place where he was for hunger; for there is no more bread in the city.
Ry tompokolahy mpanjaka, ratsy avokoa izay rehetra nataon’ ity firenena ity tamin’ i Jeremia mpaminany, fa nataony tao an-davaka izy ka ho faty mosary ao amin’ izay itoerany, satria tsy misy mofo intsony ato an-tanàna.
10 The king then commanded 'Ebed-melech the Cushi, saying, Take with thee from here thirty men, and bring up Jeremiah the prophet out of the pit, before he die.
Ary ny mpanjaka nandidy an’ i Ebeda-meleta Etiopiana hoe: Mitondrà telo-polo lahy hiaraka aminao hampakatra an’ i Jeremia mpaminany hiala ao anaty lavaka, dieny tsy mbola maty izy.
11 So 'Ebed-melech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence cast-off clothes and old rags, and let them down into the pit to Jeremiah by cords.
Ary Ebeda-meleka nitondra ny olona niaraka taminy, ka dia lasa nankany amin’ ny tranon’ ny mpanjaka eo ambanin’ ny trano firaketana, ary naka lamba rovitra sy vorodamba tao izy, ka nampidininy tamin’ ny mahazaka ho ao amin’ ny lavaka izany ho ao amin’ i Jeremia.
12 And Ebed-melech the Cushi said unto Jeremiah, Put, I pray, these cast-off clothes and old rags under thy arm-pits beneath the cords. And Jeremiah did so.
Dia hoy Ebeda-meleka Etiopiana tamin’ i Jeremia: Ataovy eo ambanin’ ny helikao ireto lamba rovitra sy vorodamba ireto ho efitry ny mahazaka, dia nataon’ i Jeremia izany;
13 So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and brought him up out of the pit: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
ka dia nosintoniny tamin’ ny mahazaka Jeremia ka nakariny avy tao anaty lavaka, ary dia nitoetra teo amin’ ny kianjan’ ny trano fiambenana izy.
14 Then sent king Zedekiah, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry that was in the house of the Lord; and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee something: conceal nothing from me.
Ary Zedekia mpanjaka naniraka naka an’ i Jeremia mpaminany hankao aminy tao amin’ ny fidirana fahatelo, izay ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah. Dia hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Jeremia: Hanontany zavatra kely aminao aho, ka aza anafenana.
15 Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, If I should tell it unto thee, behold, thou wilt surely put me to death; and if I should give thee counsel, thou wilt not hearken unto me.
Ary hoy Jeremia tamin’ i Zedekia: Raha ambarako anao, dia tsy hovonoinao tokoa va re aho? Fa na dia omeko saina aza ianao, dia tsy hihaino ahy tsinona.
16 So king Zedekiah swore unto Jeremiah secretly, saying, As the Lord liveth, who hath made for us this soul, I will not put thee to death, nor will I give thee up into the hand of these men that seek thy life.
Ary Zedekia mpanjaka nianiana mangingina tamin’ i Jeremia nanao hoe: Raha velona koa Jehovah, Izay nanao izao fanahintsika izao, dia tsy hamono anao tokoa aho, na hanolotra anao eo an-tànan’ ireto olona mitady ny ainao ireto.
17 Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus hath said the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, If thou wilt indeed go forth unto the princes of the king of Babylon, then shall thy soul live, and this city shall not be burnt with fire; and thou shalt live, thou with thy household;
Dia hoy Jeremia tamin’ i Zedekia: Izao ary no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Raha mivoaka hanatona ny mpanapaky ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona tokoa ianao, dia ho velona ny ainao, sady tsy hodorana amin’ ny afo ity tanàna ity, fa ho velona ianao sy ny mpianakavinao;
18 But if thou wilt not go forth to the princes of the king of Babylon, then shall this city be given up into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou thyself shalt not escape out of their hand.
fa raha tsy mivoaka hanatona ny mpanapaky ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona kosa ianao, dia hatolotra eo an-tànan’ ny Kaldeana ity tanàna ity, sady hodorany amin’ ny afo izy, ary tsy ho afa-mandositra ny tànany ianao.
19 Then said king Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, I am in dread of the Jews that have run away to the Chaldeans, lest these deliver me into their hand, and they might ill-use me.
Ary hoy Zedekia mpanjaka tamin’ i Jeremia: Matahotra ny Jiosy izay efa nanatona ny Kaldeana aho, fandrao hatolony eo an-tànany aho ka hataony fihomehezana.
20 But Jeremiah said, They will not give [thee] up. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of the Lord, in that which I speak unto thee; so it shall be well unto thee, and thy soul shall live.
Fa hoy Jeremia: Tsy hanolotra anao izy tsy akory. Trarantitra ianao, ankatoavy ny tenin’ i Jehovah, izay lazaiko aminao, mba hahita soa ianao, ka ho velona ny ainao.
21 But if thou refuse to go forth, this is the word that the Lord hath shown me:
Fa raha tsy mety mivoaka kosa ianao, dia izao no teny efa nasehon’ i Jehovah ahy:
22 And behold, all the women that are left in the house of the king of Judah shall be led forth to the princes of the king of Babylon; and these women shall say, “They have enticed, and have overpersuaded thee—thy men that should have sought thy welfare; thy feet are [now] sunk in the mire, and they have withdrawn themselves backward.”
Indreo, ny vehivavy rehetra izay sisa ao an-tranon’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda dia ho entina mivoaka ho any amin’ ny mpanapaky ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona, ary ireo vehivavy ireo dia hanao hoe: Ireo sakaizanao no nitaona anao sady naharesy anao; Ary latsaka tao amin’ ny honahona ny tongotrao, dia nilaozany nihemotra ianao.
23 And all thy wives and thy children shall they bring out to the Chaldeans; and thou thyself shalt not escape out of their hand; for by the hand of the king of Babylon shalt thou be caught; and this city wilt thou cause to be burnt with fire.
Ny vadinao rehetra sy ny zanakao dia ho entina mivoaka ho any amin’ ny Kaldeana; ary ianao tsy ho afa-mandositra ny tànany, fa ho azon’ ny tanan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona; ary noho ianao no handoroana ity tanàna ity amin’ ny afo.
24 Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, that thou mayest not die.
Dia hoy Zedekia tamin’ i Jeremia: Aoka tsy ho ren’ olona ary izany teny izany, mba tsy ho faty ianao.
25 And if the princes should hear that I have spoken with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee, tell us, we pray thee, what thou hast spoken unto the king, conceal it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; also what the king hath spoken unto thee:
Fa raha ren’ ny mpanapaka fa niresaka taminao aho, ary tonga aminao izy ka manao aminao hoe: Ambarao aminay ankehitriny izay nolazainao tamin’ ny mpanjaka, aza afenina anay, fa tsy hamono anao izahay; ary ambarao koa izay nolazain’ ny mpanjaka taminao;
26 Then shalt thou say unto them, I presented my humble supplication before the king, that he would not send me back to the house of Jonathan, to die there.
dia ataovy aminy hoe: Noborahina teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka ny fifonako, mba tsy hamerenany ahy ho faty any amin’ ny tranon’ i Jonatana.
27 And all the princes came unto Jeremiah, and asked him: and he told them in accordance with all these words that the king had commanded. And they turned away silent from him; for the matter had not been made public.
Ary nankany amin’ i Jeremia ny mpanapaka rehetra ka nanontany azy; dia nolazainy taminy araka izay teny rehetra nandidian’ ny mpanjaka azy. Ary tsy niresaka taminy intsony ireo, ka dia tsy re ny raharaha.
28 And Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem was taken. And it came to pass when Jerusalem was captured,
Ary Jeremia nitoetra teo amin’ ny kianjan’ ny trano fiambenana mandra-pahatongan’ ny andro nanafahana an’ i Jerosalema.
