Jeremiah 40
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, after Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, has sent him from Ramah, in his taking him—and he a prisoner in chains—in the midst of all the expulsion of Jerusalem and of Judah, who are removed to Babylon.
Ty tsara niheo am’Iirmeà boak’ am’ Iehovà, ie navotso’ i Nebozaradane mpifehem-pigaritse e Ramà añe, ie fa nasese’e an-drohy mindre amo mirohy boak’ Ierosalaime naho Iehodào ho mb’ ampandrohizañe e Bavele añe.
2 And the chief of the executioners takes Jeremiah and says to him, “Your God YHWH has spoken this calamity concerning this place,
Natola’ i mpifehe mpigaritsey t’Iirmeà vaho hoe ty asa’e ama’e: Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ty nitsara o hankàñe zao ami’ty toetse toy;
3 and YHWH brings [it] in, and does as He spoke, because you have sinned against YHWH, and have not listened to His voice, even this thing has been to you.
le ie henanekeo, fa nihenefa’ Iehovà i tsinara’ey amy te nandilatse am’ Iehovà nahareo vaho tsy hinao’ areo ty fiarañanaña’e. Toly ndra nifetsake i nitsaraeñey.
4 And now, behold, I have loosed you today from the chains that [are] on your hand; if [it is] good in your eyes to come with me [to] Babylon, come, and I keep my eye on you: and if [it is] evil in your eyes to come with me to Babylon, refrain; see, all the land [is] before you, to where [it is] good, and to where [it is] right in your eyes to go—go.”
F’ie henaneo, Ingo te hahako ama’o aniany o rohy am-pità’oo. Aa ie te hindre lia amako mbe Bavele mb’eo, mihavia vaho hatràko soa, f’ie tsy te hindre amako mb’e Bavele añe le apoho. Inge, añatrefa’o eo o tane iabio; mañaveloa amy ze atao’o ho soa naho mahity.
5 And while he does not reply—“Or turn back to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has appointed over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him in the midst of the people, or wherever it is right in your eyes to go—go.” And the chief of the executioners gives a ration and gift to him, and sends him away,
Ie mbe tsy nitolike, le hoe re, Molia amy Gedalia ana’ i Ahikame ana’ i Safan; tinendre’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveley ho mpifeleke o rova’ Iehodaoy, vaho mimoneña ama’e, am’ondatio; he mañaveloa mb’amy ze ereñere’o hombañe. Aa le tinolo’ i mpifehe mpigaritsey anjara mahakama naho ravoravo vaho nampomba’e mb’eo.
6 and Jeremiah comes to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, to Mizpah, and dwells with him in the midst of the people who are left in the land.
Aa le nimb’amy Gedelia ana’ i Ahikame e Mitspà añe re vaho nitrao-pimoneñe am’ondaty nengañe an-taneo.
7 And all the heads of the forces that [are] in the field hear, they and their men, that the king of Babylon has appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam over the land, and that he has charged him [with] men, and women, and infants, and of the poor of the land, of those who have not been removed to Babylon;
Ie songa jinanji’ o mpiaolon-dahindefoñe am-patrambeio, ie naho o mpiama’eo, te tinendre’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveley t’i Gedalia ana’ i Ahikame ho mpifeleke i taney, naho nampifeheañe aze ondatio naho o rakembao vaho o ajajao; o loho rarake amy taney tsy nasese mb’e Bavele mb’eoo,
8 and they come to Gedaliah at Mizpah, even Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan [the] sons of Kareah, and Seraiah son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah son of the Maachathite, they and their men.
le nimb’ amy Gedalia e Mitspà añe iereo rekets’ Ismaele ana’ i Netania, naho Iohanane naho Ionatane sindre ana’ i Karea, i Seraia ana’ i Tankomete, o ana’ i Ofaý nte-Netofào naho Iezania ana’ty nte-Maakà, ie vaho ondati’iareoo.
9 And Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, swears to them and to their men, saying, “Do not be afraid of serving the Chaldeans, abide in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it is well for you;
Le nanao fanta am’ iereo naho amo lahin-defo’eo t’i Gedalia ana’ i Ahikame ana’ i Safane, ami’ty hoe, Ko ihembaña’ areo ty mitoroñe o nte-Kasdio. Imoneño i taney naho toroño ty mpanjaka’ i Bavele, le ho soa tahy.
10 and I, behold, I am dwelling in Mizpah to stand before the Chaldeans who have come to us, and you, gather wine, and summer fruit, and oil, and put [them] in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that you have taken.”
Aa naho izaho, le himoneñe e Mitspà hijohañe añatrefa’ o nte-Kasdy hivotrak’ aman-tikañ’ atoio; f’inahareo: anontono divay naho ty vokats’ asotry naho menake, le ahajao an-tsajoa’ areo ao, vaho imoneño o rova felehe’ areoo.
11 And also all the Jews who [are] in Moab, and among the sons of Ammon, and in Edom, and who [are] in all the lands, have heard that the king of Babylon has given a remnant to Judah, and that he has appointed over them Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan,
Manahake izay ka, ie jinanji’ o nte-Iehodà e Amone naho Edomeo naho o an-tane ila’eo te nampipoke honka’e e Iehodà ao ty mpanjaka’ i Bavele vaho tinendre’e t’i Gedalia ana’ i Ahikame, ana’ i Safane ho mpifelek’ iareo,
12 and all the Jews from all the places to where they have been driven, return and enter the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, and they gather wine and summer fruit—to multiply abundantly.
le nimpoly boak’ amo fonga tane niparatsiaha’ iareoo mb’an-tane’ Iehodà mb’ amy Gedalia e Mitspà ao ze hene nte Iehoda, le nanontoñe divay vaho vokats’ asara tsifotofoto.
13 And Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces that [are] in the field, have come to Gedaliah at Mizpah,
Niheo mb’amy Gedalia e Mitspà mb’eo t’Iohanane ana’ i Karea naho ze hene mpiaolon-dahin-defo an-kaloke,
14 and they say to him, “Do you really know that Ba‘alis king of the sons of Ammon has sent Ishmael son of Nethaniah to strike your soul?” And Gedaliah son of Ahikam has not given credence to them.
nanao ama’e ty hoe, Tsy fohi’o hao te nafanto’ i Baalise mpanjaka’ o nte-Amoneo t’Ismaele ana’ i Netania hañoho-doza ama’o? F’ie tsy niantofa’ i Gedalia ana’ i Ahikame.
15 And Johanan son of Kareah has spoken to Gedaliah in secret, in Mizpah, saying, “Please let me go, and I strike Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and no one knows; why does he strike your soul? And all Judah who are gathered to you have been scattered, and the remnant of Judah has perished.”
Aa le natola’ Iohanane ana’ i Karea t’i Gedalia e Mitspà ao, le nanoe’e ty hoe, Ehe, angao handenàko mb’am’ Ismaele ana’ i Netania mb’eo hamono aze, fa tsy ho fohi’ ondaty. Ino ty hañohofa’e loza ami’ty fiai’o? hampiparaitahañe o hene nte-Iehodao, toe ho mongotse ty sehanga’ Iehodà.
16 And Gedaliah son of Ahikam says to Johanan son of Kareah, “You do not do this thing, for you are speaking falsehood concerning Ishmael.”
Fe hoe t’i Gedelia ana’ i Ahikame am’ Iehonane ana’ i Karea, Ko manao zao, ihe andañira’o Ismaele.
