Jeremiah 29
1 And these [are] the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the remnant of [the] elderly of the expulsion, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people—whom Nebuchadnezzar removed from Jerusalem to Babylon,
Intoy ty enta’ i taratasy nampihitrife’ Iirmeà mpitoky boak’ Ierosalaime mb’amo sehangan-droandriañe an-drohy añe naho amo mpisoroñeo naho am’ondaty iaby nasese’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele mb’am-pandrohizañe añe boak’ Ierosalaime ao mb’e Bavele añeo,
2 after the going forth of Jeconiah the king, and the mistress, and the officers, heads of Judah and Jerusalem, and the craftsman, and the smith, from Jerusalem—
ie fa nienga’ Ierosalaime t’Iekonia mpanjaka naho i rene-mpanjakay naho o mpifelekeo, naho o roandria’ Iehodà naho Ierosalaimeo naho o mpandranjio vaho o mpanefeo,
3 by the hand of Eleasah son of Shaphan, and Gemariah son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon, to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, saying,
am-pità’ i Elasà, ana’ i Safane ana’ i Gemarià, ana’ i Kelkià nirahe’ i Tsidkia mpanjaka’ Iehodà mb’ amy Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele, nanao ty hoe:
4 “Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, to all the expulsion that I removed from Jerusalem to Babylon:
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, t’i Andrianañahare’ Israele, amo mpirohy iabio, o nampaneseko an-drohy boak’ Ierosalaime mb’e Bavele mb’eoo:
5 Build houses and abide; and plant gardens and eat their fruit;
Andranjio anjomba le imoneño, amboleo an-koboñe ao vaho ikamao ty voka’e;
6 take wives and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, and they bear sons and daughters; and multiply there, and you are not few;
mañengà valy naho misamaha ana-dahy naho anak’ampela; androroto enga-vao o ana-dahi’ areoo le atoloro amo mpañengao ty anak’ ampela’ areo, hisamaha’ iareo ana-dahy naho anak’ ampela; vaho manaranaha añe fa ko miketrake.
7 and seek the peace of the city to where I have removed you, and pray to YHWH for it, for in its peace you have peace.
Ampanintsiño i rova nampaneseko anahareo an-drohiy vaho mihalalia am’ Iehovà ho aze; amy te i fierañeraña’ey ty hierañeraña’ areo.
8 For thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Do not let your prophets who [are] in your midst, and your diviners, lift you up, nor listen to their dreams, that you are causing [them] to dream;
Fa hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, i Andrianañahare’ Israeley; Ko apo’ areo hamañahy anahareo o mpitoky naho mpañandro añivo’ areoo, vaho ko haoñe’ areo o nofy nampañanofiseñe iareoo.
9 for they are prophesying with falsehood to you in My Name; I have not sent them, a declaration of YHWH.
Ie mitoky vìlañe ama’ areo ami’ ty añarako; fa tsy niraheko, hoe t’Iehovà.
10 For thus said YHWH: Surely at the fullness of Babylon—seventy years—I inspect you, and have established My good word toward you, to bring you back to this place.
Aa hoe t’Iehovà: Ie heneke ty fitompolo taoñe e Bavele ao, le ho tiliheko naho hanoeko i hasoa nivolañeko ama’ areoy, t’ie hampoliko an-toetse atoy.
11 For I have known the thoughts that I am thinking toward you—a declaration of YHWH; thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give posterity and hope to you.
Toe apotako ty fisafiriako ho anahareo, hoe t’Iehovà, fisafiriam-pierañerañañe fa tsy hankàñe, hanolorako fitamàn-tsoa naho fisalalàñe.
12 And you have called Me, and have gone, and have prayed to Me, and I have listened to you,
Hikanjy ahy nahareo, le hombeo iraho; hihalalia’areo, vaho ho tsanoñeko.
13 and you have sought Me, and have found, for you seek Me with all your heart;
Hipay ahy le ho rendre’ areo naho mitsoek’ an-kaampon’ arofo.
14 and I have been found by you—a declaration of YHWH; and I have turned back [to] your captivity, and have gathered you out of all the nations, and out of all the places to where I have driven you—a declaration of YHWH—and I have brought you back to the place from where I removed you.
Ho oni’ areo iraho, hoe t’Iehovà, naho hafoteko ty fandrohizañe anahareo, naho hatontoko boak’ amo hene tane naho hirik’ amo toetse iaby nandroahako anahareoo, hoe t’Iehovà; le hampoliko mb’amy toetse nampaneseko anahareo mb’am-pandrohizañey.
15 Because you have said, YHWH has raised up prophets to us in Babylon,
Ami’ty natao’ areo ty hoe: Fa nampitroara’ Iehovà mpitoky e Bavele ao tika.
16 surely thus said YHWH concerning the king who is sitting on the throne of David, and concerning all the people that are dwelling in this city, your brothers who did not go forth with you in the expulsion—
Aa hoe t’Iehovà ty amy mpanjaka miambesatse am-piambesa’ i Davidey naho ty am’ondaty iaby mpimoneñe an-drova atoio, o rolongo’ areo tsy nindre nienga ama’ areo mb’ am-pandrohizañ’ añeo,
17 thus said YHWH of Hosts: Behold, I am sending the sword, the famine, and the pestilence among them, and I have given them up as figs that [are] vile, that are not eaten because of badness.
hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Inao te hampañitrifeko am’ iereo ty fibara, ty hasalikoañe, naho ty angorosy, vaho hampanahafeko ami’ty sakoa mangeñe tsy mete haneñe ty amy haratia’ey;
18 And I have pursued after them with sword, with famine, and with pestilence, and have given them for a trembling to all kingdoms of the earth, for a curse and for an astonishment, and for a hissing, and for a reproach among all the nations to where I have driven them,
naho horidañeko am-pibara naho saliko naho kiria naho hampandronje-ronjèko mb’amy ze kila fifehea’ ty tane toy ho fatse naho halatsañe, ho fikosihañe, vaho fañinjeañe amo fifelehañe iaby niroaheko iareoo;
19 because that they have not listened to My words—a declaration of YHWH—that I sent to them by My servants the prophets, rising early and sending, and you did not listen—a declaration of YHWH.
amy t’ie tsy nanaoñ’ o volakoo, hoe t’Iehovà, ie nañitrifako o mpitoky mpitorokoo, nañaleñaleñe te namantoke, f’ie tsy nimete nijanjiñe, hoe t’Iehovà.
20 And you, hear a word of YHWH, all you of the captivity that I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon—
Aa le mijanjiña ty tsara’ Iehovà ry am-pandrohizañe añe iaby nampaneseko boak’ Ierosalaime mb’e Bavele mb’eoo.
21 thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, concerning Ahab son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying falsehood to you in My Name: Behold, I am giving them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he has struck them before your eyes,
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, t’i Andrianañahare’ Israele, ty amy Akabe ana’ i Kolaià, naho i Tsidkià ana’ i Maaseià, i mitoky vande ama’ areo aman’ añarako rey: Inao t’ie haseseko am-pità’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele; vaho ho vonoe’e añatrefam-pihaino’ areo;
22 and because of them a reviling has been taken by all the expulsion of Judah that [are] in Babylon, saying, YHWH sets you as Zedekiah, and as Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted with fire;
le ho toñone’ ze hene mpirohi’ Iehodà e Bavele ao ty fatse ami’ty hoe: Hanoe’ Iehovà hambañe amy nanoa’e amy Akabe naho amy Tsidkià, i nampiforototoe’ ty mpanjaka’ i Bavele añ’afo ao rey;
23 because that they have done folly in Israel, and commit adultery with the wives of their neighbors, and falsely speak a word in My Name that I have not commanded them, and I [am] He who knows and a witness—a declaration of YHWH.
amy t’ie nitoloñe haloloañe e Israele ao, naho nanao hakarapiloañe amo tañanjomban-drañe’eo naho nisaontsy vìlañe ami’ty añarako, f’ie tsy nandiliako; toe maharendreke iraho naho mahatalily, hoe t’Iehovà.
24 And you speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying,
Le ty amy Semaià nte-Nekelamý, isaontsio ty hoe,
25 Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, saying, Because that you have sent letters in your name to all the people who [are] in Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,
Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà’ i Màroy, i Andrianañahare’ Israeley: Amy te ihe nanokitse taratasy ami’ty añara’o amy ze hene’ ondaty e Ierosalaime ao naho amy Tsefanià ana’ i Maaseià mpisoroñe, vaho amo mpisoroñe iabio, nanao ty hoe:
26 YHWH has made you priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, for there being inspectors of the house of YHWH over every man [who] is mad and making himself a prophet, and you have put him in the stocks and in the pillory.
Fa nanoe’ Iehovà mpisoroñe irehe hisolo’ Iehoiada mpisoroñe, soa te ho amam-pisary ty añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ty amy ze dagola mitoky, hampijoñe aze am-balabey naho an-dongòk’ ao.
27 And now, why have you not pushed against Jeremiah of Anathoth, who is making himself a prophet to you?
Aa vaho akore te tsy nendaha’o t’Iirmeà nte-Anatote, ie manao ho mpitoky ama’ areo,
28 Because that he has sent to us [in] Babylon, saying, It [is] long, build houses and abide; and plant gardens and eat their fruit.”
naho nampañitrife’e ama’ay e Bavele atoy ty hoe: Mbe ho ela ty fandrohizañe; mandranjia anjomba, le imoneño; le mambolea an-godoboñe ao vaho kamao ty voka’e?
29 And Zephaniah the priest reads this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.
Le vinaki’ i Tsefanià mpisoroñe an-dravembia’ Iirmeà mpitoky i taratasy zay.
30 And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah, saying,
Niheo am’ Iirmeà amy zao ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
31 “Send to all the expulsion, saying, Thus said YHWH concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because that Shemaiah prophesied to you, and I have not sent him, and he causes you to trust on falsehood,
Ampisangitrifo amo hene am-pandrohizañeo ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà ty amy Semaià nte Nekelamý: Amy te nitoky ama’ areo t’i Semaià, f’ie tsy niraheko, vaho nampiantofa’e anahareo ty haremborake,
32 therefore, thus said YHWH: Behold, I am seeing after Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and after his seed, he has none dwelling in the midst of this people, nor does he look on the good that I am doing to My people,” a declaration of YHWH, “for he has spoken apostasy against YHWH.”
le hoe t’Iehovà: Inao! ho liloveko t’i Semaià nte Nekelamý naho o tiri’eo; ie tsy hanañe ty hitrao-pimoneñe am’ ondaty retoa, vaho tsy ho isa’e ty soa hanoeko am’ ondatikoo, hoe t’Iehovà; ty amo fiolañe tinaro’e am’ Iehovào.
