Jeremiah 37
1 And King Zedekiah son of Josiah reigns instead of Coniah son of Jehoiakim whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had caused to reign in the land of Judah,
Nifehe ho mpanjaka t’i Tsidkia nandimbe i Konia ana’ Iehoiakime ana’ Iosia nanoe’ i Nebokadnetsare, mpanjaka’ i Bavele, mpanjaka an-tane Iehodày.
2 and he has not listened—he, and his servants, and the people of the land—to the words of YHWH that He spoke by the hand of Jeremiah the prophet.
F’ie ndra o mpitoro’eo ndra ondati’ i taneio tsy nañaoñe ty tsara’ Iehovà nisaontsie’e añam’ Iirmeà mpitoky.
3 And Zedekiah the king sends Jehucal son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest, to Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “Pray, we implore you, for us to our God YHWH.”
Nirahe’ i Tsidkia mpankaja t’Iehokale ana’ i Selemia naho i Tsefania mpisoroñe ana’ i Maasaia am’ Iirmeà mpitoky nanao ty hoe: Ehe, halalio ho anay t’Iehovà Andrianañaharentika.
4 And Jeremiah is coming in and going out in the midst of the people (and they have not put him in the prison-house),
Ie amy zay nifampitamboemboeñe am’ondatio t’Iirmeà; ie mboe tsy nagodoñe am-balabey ao,
5 and the force of Pharaoh has come out of Egypt, and the Chaldeans who are laying siege against Jerusalem hear their report, and go up from off Jerusalem.
le niakatse an-tane Mitsraime o lahindefo’ i Paroo; aa ie jinanji’ o nte-Kasdy nañarikatoke Ierosalaimeo i talily ty am’ iereoy le nisitak’ am’ Ierosalaime.
6 And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
Le niheo am’Iirmeà ty tsara’ Iehovà:
7 “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Thus you say to the king of Judah who is sending you to Me, to seek Me: Behold, the force of Pharaoh that is coming out to you for help has turned back to its land, to Egypt,
Hoe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele: Zao ty ho saontsie’ areo amy mpanjaka’ Iehodày nañirak’ anahareo amako hañontane: Himpoly mb’an-tane’e e Mitsraime añe o lian-dahindefo’ i Parò nionjoñe hañolotse anahareoo;
8 and the Chaldeans have turned back and fought against this city, and captured it, and burned it with fire.
le hibalike mb’etoa o nte Kasdio hialy ami’ty rova toy hitavañe vaho hamorototo aze amañ’afo.
9 Thus said YHWH: Do not lift up your souls, saying, The Chaldeans surely go from off us, for they do not go;
Hoe t’Iehovà, Ko mamañahy vatañe ami’ty hoe: Tsy mahay tsy hienga antika o nte-Kasdio. Fa tsy hienga!
10 for though you had struck all the force of the Chaldeans who are fighting with you, and there were left of them wounded men—they rise, each in his tent, and have burned this city with fire.”
Ndra te fonga zinama’areo o lahindefon-te-Kasdy mialy ama’areoo, vaho tsy aman-tsehanga’e naho tsy ty fere an-kiboho’e ao, le ie ty ho nitroatse hamorototo ty rova toy amañ’afo.
11 And it has come to pass, in the going up of the force of the Chaldeans from off Jerusalem, because of the force of Pharaoh,
Aa ie nisitake Ierosalaime o nte-Kasdio ty amy lian-dahin-defo’ i Paròy,
12 that Jeremiah goes out from Jerusalem to go [to] the land of Benjamin, to receive a portion there in the midst of the people.
le niakatse Ierosalaime t’Iirmeà hionjoñe mb’an-tane’ i Beniamine añe handrambe ty anjaran-tane’e añivo’ ondaty ao.
13 And it comes to pass, he is at the Gate of Benjamin, and there [is] a master of the ward, and his name is Irijah son of Shelemiah, son of Hananiah; and he catches Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “You are defecting to the Chaldeans!”
Ie pok’ an-dalambei’ i Beniamine eo le tsinepa’ ty mpijilo atao Iiria ana’ i Selemia ana’ i Kanania t’Iirmeà ami’ty hoe, Mitotse mb’ amo nte-Kasdio ni-heo.
14 And Jeremiah says, “Falsehood! I am not defecting to the Chaldeans”; and he has not listened to him, and Irijah lays hold on Jeremiah, and brings him to the heads,
Le hoe t’Iirmeà: Vande izay; izaho tsy misitake mb’ amo nte-Kasdio. Fe tsy nihaoñe’e; aa le sinambo’ Iiria t’Iirmeà vaho nasese’e mb’amo roandriañeo.
15 and the heads are angry against Jeremiah, and have struck him, and put him in the prison-house—the house of Jonathan the scribe, for they had made it for a prison-house.
Niviñera’ o roandriañeo t’Iirmeà, le finofo’ iareo vaho najo’ iareo an-drohy añ’anjomba’ Ionatane silikitera ao, fa nanoeñe valabey ty ao.
16 When Jeremiah has entered into the house of the dungeon, and to the cells, then Jeremiah dwells there many days,
Aa ie fa najoroboñe añ’efets’ efe’ i valabeiy t’Iirmeà naho nitambatse ao andro maro t’Iirmeà,
17 and King Zedekiah sends, and takes him, and the king asks him in his house in secret, and says, “Is there a word from YHWH?” And Jeremiah says, “There is,” and he says, “You are given into the hand of the king of Babylon.”
le nampihitrife’ i Tsidkia amy zao re le nampihovañ’ aze naho natola’e añ’anjomba’e ao vaho nañontane aze, ty hoe: Hera ao ty tsara boak’ am’ Iehovà? Toe ao! hoe t’Iirmeà, fa hoe re: Hasese am-pitàm-panjaka’ i Bavele irehe.
18 And Jeremiah says to King Zedekiah, “What have I sinned against you, and against your servants, and against this people, that you have put me into a prison-house?
Tinovo’ Iirmeà amy Tsidkia mpanjaka’ Iehodà ty hoe, Ino ty tahiko ama’o ndra amo mpitoro’oo ndra am’ ondati’oo te nagodo’o am-po porozò ao?
19 And where [are] your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, The king of Babylon does not come in against you, and against this land?
Aia ka o mpitoki’o nitoky ama’o ty hoe: Tsy ho avy haname azo naho ty tane toy ty mpanjaka’ i Baveleo?
20 And now, please listen, O my lord the king; please let my supplication fall before you, and do not cause me to return [to] the house of Jonathan the scribe, that I do not die there.”
Aa le ijanjiño abey, ry taleko mpanjaka: Ehe, tsendreño o halalikoo, le ko ampipolieñ’ ahy mb’añ’anjomba’ Ionatane silikitera mb’eo, tsy mone hivetrake ao.
21 And King Zedekiah commands, and they commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, also to give a cake of bread to him daily from the bakers’ street, until the consumption of all the bread of the city, and Jeremiah dwells in the court of the prison.
Aa le nandily t’i Tsidkia, naho najò’ iareo an-kiririsa’ o mpigaritseo t’Iirmeà; vaho nanjotsoañe vonga-mofo boak’ andro hirik’ an-dalam-panoñak’ ao ampara’ te fonga nikapaike ty mofo’ i rovay. Aa le nidoñe an-kiririsam-pigaritse ao t’Iirmeà.
