< Jeremiah 42 >

1 And they come near—all the heads of the forces, and Johanan son of Kareah, and Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even to the greatest—
Ary ny mpifehy ny miaramila rehetra sy Johanana, zanak’ i Karea, sy Jazania, zanak’ i Hosaia, mbamin’ ny vahoaka rehetra, na kely na lehibe, dia nanatona
2 and they say to Jeremiah the prophet, “Please let our supplication fall before you, and pray for us to your God YHWH for all this remnant; for we have been left a few out of many, as your eyes see us;
ka niteny tamin’ i Jeremia mpaminany hoe: Masìna ianao, aoka hoborahina eto anatrehanao ny fifonanay, ary mba ivavaho amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao re izahay, dia ireto sisa rehetra ireto (fa vitsy izahay no sisa, na dia maro aza fahiny, dia araka izao hitan’ ny masonao izao),
3 and your God YHWH declares to us the way in which we walk, and the thing that we do.”
mba hambaran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anay izay lalana mety halehanay sy izay zavatra tokony hataonay.
4 And Jeremiah the prophet says to them, “I have heard: behold, I am praying to your God YHWH according to your words, and it has come to pass, the whole word that YHWH answers you, I declare to you—I do not withhold a word from you.”
Dia hoy Jeremia mpaminany taminy: Efa reko izany; koa, indro, hivavaka amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ary aho araka ny teninareo; ary ny teny rehetra Izay havalin’ i Jehovah anareo dia hambarako anareo, fa tsy hisy hafeniko.
5 And they have said to Jeremiah, “YHWH is against us for a true and faithful witness, if—according to all the word with which your God YHWH sends you to us—we do not do so.
Dia hoy izy tamin’ i Jeremia: Jehovah no aoka ho vavolombelona marina sy mahatoky amintsika, raha tsy manao araka ny teny rehetra izay anirahan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao aminay izahay.
6 Whether [it is] good or evil, to the voice of our God YHWH, to whom we are sending you, we listen; because it is good for us when we listen to the voice of our God YHWH.”
Na ho soa, na ho ratsy, dia hohenoinay ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray, izay nanirahanay anao, mba hahasoa anay, raha mihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray izahay.
7 And it comes to pass, at the end of ten days, that there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah,
Ary nony afaka hafoloana, dia tonga tamin’ i Jeremia ny tenin’ i Jehovah.
8 and he calls to Johanan son of Kareah, and to all the heads of the forces that [are] with him, and to all the people, from the least even to the greatest,
Ary izy niantso an’ i Johanana, zanak’ i Karea, sy ny mpifehy ny miaramila rehetra izay teo aminy mbamin’ ny olona rehetra, na kely na lehibe,
9 and he says to them, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel, to whom you sent me, to cause your supplication to fall before Him:
ka nanao taminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, Izay efa nanirahanareo ahy mba hoborahiko eo anatrehany ny fifonanareo:
10 If you certainly dwell in this land, then I have built you up, and I do not throw down; and I have planted you, and I do not pluck up; for I have relented concerning the calamity that I have done to you.
Raha mbola honina amin’ ity tany ity ihany ianareo, dia haoriko ianareo, fa tsy horavako, ary hamboleko ianareo, fa tsy hongotako, fa manenina Aho ny amin’ ny loza namelezako anareo.
11 Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, whom you are afraid of; do not be afraid of him—a declaration of YHWH—for I [am] with you, to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
Aza matahotra ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona izay atahoranareo; eny, aza matahotra azy, hoy Jehovah, fa momba anareo Aho hamonjy sy hanafaka anareo amin’ ny tànany.
12 And I give mercies to you, and he has pitied you, and caused you to return to your own ground.
Ary hataoko mahita famindram-po ianareo, dia hamindra fo aminareo izy ka hampody anareo ho any amin’ ny taninareo.
13 And if you are saying, We do not dwell in this land—not to listen to the voice of your God YHWH,
Fa raha hoy kosa ianareo: Tsy honina amin’ ity tany ity izahay, ka tsy hihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ianareo,
14 saying, No; but we enter the land of Egypt, that we see no war, and do not hear the sound of a horn, and are not hungry for bread; and we dwell there—
fa manao hoe: Tsia; fa hankany amin’ ny tany Egypta izahay, fa any no tsy hahitanay ady, na handrenesanay ny feon’ ny anjomara na hahitanay mosary, ka dia any no honenanay,
15 And now, therefore, hear a word of YHWH, O remnant of Judah! Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: If you really set your faces to enter Egypt, and have gone to sojourn there,
dia mihainoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah ankehitriny ianareo izay sisa amin’ ny Joda: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah. Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Raha dia mikiry hankany Egypta ihany ianareo ka mandeha hivahiny any,
16 then it has come to pass, the sword that you are afraid of, overtakes you there, in the land of Egypt; and the hunger, because of which you are sorrowful, cleaves after you there in Egypt, and there you die.
dia hahatratra anareo any amin’ ny tany Egypta ny sabatra izay atahoranareo, ary ny mosary izay ahinareo no hanjohy anareo any amin’ ny tany Egypta, ary any no hahafaty anareo.
17 Thus are all the men who have set their faces to enter Egypt to sojourn there; they die—by sword, by hunger, and by pestilence, and there is not a remnant and an escaped one to them, because of the calamity that I am bringing in on them;
Ary ny olona rehetra izay mikiry hankany Egypta hivahiny any dia ho fatin’ ny sabatra sy ny mosary ary ny areti-mandringana any; ary tsy hisy sisa ho afa-mandositra ny loza izay hataoko mihatra aminy.
18 for thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: As My anger and My fury have been poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so My fury is poured out on you in your entering Egypt, and you have been for an execration, and for an astonishment, and for a reviling, and for a reproach, and you do not see this place anymore.
Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Toy ny nanidinana ny fahatezerako sy ny fahavinirako tamin’ ny mponina any Jerosalema, dia toy izany no hanidinana ny fahatezerako aminareo, raha mankany Egypta ianareo; ary ho fianianana sy ho figagana sy ho fanozonana ary ho fandatsa ianareo, sady tsy hahita ity tany ity intsony.
19 YHWH has spoken against you, O remnant of Judah, do not enter Egypt: certainly know that I have testified against you today;
Jehovah efa nilaza ny aminareo, ry sisa amin’ ny Joda, hoe: Aza mankany Egypta ianareo; aoka ho fantatrareo tokoa fa efa nanariko androany ianareo.
20 for you have showed yourselves perverse in your souls, for you sent me to your God YHWH, saying, Pray for us to our God YHWH, and according to all that our God YHWH says, so declare to us, and we have done [it];
Kanjo efa nivily ianareo ka nahavoa ny ainareo tamin’ ny nanirahanareo ahy ho amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo hanao hoe: Mba ivavaho amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika re izahay, ary izay rehetra holazain’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika dia ambarao aminay, fa hataonay.
21 and I declare to you today, and you have not listened to the voice of your God YHWH, and to anything with which He has sent me to you.
Ary efa nambarako taminareo androany; nefa tsy nihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ianareo ny amin’ izay zavatra nanirahany ahy ho aminareo.
22 And now, certainly know that by sword, by famine, and by pestilence you die, in the place that you have desired to go to sojourn there.”
Koa aoka ho fantatrareo marimarina fa ho fatin-tsabatra sy mosary ary areti-mandringana ianareo any amin’ ny tany izay tianareo hivahiniana.
