Jeremiah 38
1 And Shephatiah son of Mattan, and Gedaliah son of Pashhur, and Jucal son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur son of Malchiah, hear the words that Jeremiah is speaking to 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 said YHWH: He who is remaining in this city dies, by sword, by famine, and by pestilence, and he who is going forth to the Chaldeans lives, and his soul has been to him for a prey, and he lives.
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 said YHWH: This city is certainly given into the hand of the force of the king of Babylon, and he has captured 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 And the heads say to the king, “Now let this man be put to death, because that he is making feeble the hands of the men of war who are left in this city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking to them according to these words, for this man is not seeking for the peace of this people, but for its calamity.”
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 And King Zedekiah says, “Behold, he [is] in your hand: for the king is not able [to do] anything against you.”
Dia hoy Zedekia mpanjaka: Indro, eo an-tananareo izy; fa ny mpanjaka tsy mahefa na inona na inona hisakana anareo.
6 And they take Jeremiah, and cast him into the pit of Malchiah son of the king, that [is] in the court of the prison, and they send Jeremiah down with cords; and there is no water in the pit, but mire, and Jeremiah sinks in 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 And Ebed-Melech the Cushite, a eunuch who [is] in the king’s house, hears that they have put Jeremiah into the pit; and the king is sitting at 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 and Ebed-Melech goes forth from the king’s house, and speaks 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 evil [in] all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the pit, and he dies in his place because of the famine, 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 And the king commands Ebed-Melech the Cushite, saying, “Take with you thirty men from here, and you have brought up Jeremiah the prophet from the pit, before he dies.”
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 And Ebed-Melech takes the men with him, and enters the house of the king, to the place of the treasury, and takes there worn-out shreds of cloth, and worn-out rags, and sends them by cords into the pit to Jeremiah.
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 Cushite says to Jeremiah, “Now put the worn-out pieces of cloth and rags under your arms, at the place of the cords,” and Jeremiah does 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 and they draw Jeremiah out with cords, and bring him up out of the pit, and Jeremiah dwells 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 And King Zedekiah sends, and takes Jeremiah the prophet to him, to the third entrance that [is] in the house of YHWH, and the king says to Jeremiah, “I am asking you something, do not hide anything 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 And Jeremiah says to Zedekiah, “When I declare [it] to you, do you not surely put me to death? And when I counsel you, you do not listen to 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 And King Zedekiah swears to Jeremiah in secret, saying, “YHWH lives, He who made this soul for us, I do not put you to death, nor give you into the hand of these men who are seeking your soul.”
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 And Jeremiah says to Zedekiah, “Thus said YHWH, God of Hosts, God of Israel: If you certainly go forth to the heads of the king of Babylon, then your soul has lived, and this city is not burned with fire, indeed, you have lived, you and your house.
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 And if you do not go forth to the heads of the king of Babylon, then this city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they have burned it with fire, and you do not escape from 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 And King Zedekiah says to Jeremiah, “I am fearing the Jews who have fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they give me into their hand, and they have insulted 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 And Jeremiah says, “They do not give you up; please listen to the voice of YHWH, to that which I am speaking to you, and it is well for you, and your soul lives.
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 And if you are refusing to go forth, this [is] the thing that YHWH has shown me:
Fa raha tsy mety mivoaka kosa ianao, dia izao no teny efa nasehon’ i Jehovah ahy:
22 That, behold, all the women who have been left in the house of the king of Judah are brought forth to the heads of the king of Babylon, and behold, they are saying: Persuaded you, and prevailed against you, Have your allies, Your feet have sunk into mire, They have been turned 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 your wives and your sons are brought forth to the Chaldeans, and you do not escape from their hand, for you are caught by the hand of the king of Babylon, and this city is burned 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 And Zedekiah says to Jeremiah, “Let no man know of these words, and you do not die;
Dia hoy Zedekia tamin’ i Jeremia: Aoka tsy ho ren’ olona ary izany teny izany, mba tsy ho faty ianao.
25 and when the heads hear that I have spoken with you, and they have come to you, and have said to you, Now declare to us what you spoke to the king, do not hide [it] from us, and we do not put you to death, and what the king spoke to you,
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 you have said to them, I am causing my supplication to fall before the king, not to cause me to return 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 heads come to Jeremiah, and ask him, and he declares to them according to all these words that the king commanded, and they keep silent from him, for the matter was not heard;
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 dwells in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem has been captured, and he was [there] when Jerusalem was captured.
Ary Jeremia nitoetra teo amin’ ny kianjan’ ny trano fiambenana mandra-pahatongan’ ny andro nanafahana an’ i Jerosalema.
