Jeremiah 38
1 Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchijah, heard the words that Jeremiah spoke 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 says YHWH, 'He who remains in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; but he who goes forth to the Chaldeans shall live, and his life shall be to him for a prey, and he shall live.'
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 says YHWH, 'This city shall surely be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he shall take 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 Then the officials said to the king, "Please let this man be put to death; because he weakens the hands of the men of war who remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words to them: for this man doesn't seek the welfare of this people, but the hurt."
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 Zedekiah the king said, "Look, he is in your hand; for the king is not he who can 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 Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the king's son, that was in the court of the guard: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. In the dungeon there was no water, but mire; and Jeremiah sank 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 Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, a eunuch, who was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon (the king then sitting in the Benjamin Gate),
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 Ebedmelech went forth out of the king's house, and spoke to the king, saying,
dia nivoaka avy tao an-tranon’ ny mpanjaka izy ka nanao tamin’ ny mpanjaka hoe:
9 "My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is likely to die in the place where he is, 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 Then the king commanded Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, "Take from here thirty men with you, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, 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 So Ebedmelech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took there rags and worn-out garments, and let them down by cords into the dungeon 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 Ebedmelech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, "Put now these rags and worn-out garments under your armpits under the cords." Jeremiah did 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 So they drew up Jeremiah with the cords, and took him up out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
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 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet to him into the third entry that is in the house of YHWH: and the king said to Jeremiah, "I will ask you something. Hide nothing 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 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, "If I declare it to you, will you not surely put me to death? And if I give you counsel, you will 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 So Zedekiah the king swore secretly to Jeremiah, saying, "As YHWH lives, who made us this soul, I will not put you to death, neither will I give you into the hand of these men who seek your life."
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 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, "Thus says YHWH, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: 'If you will go forth to the king of Babylon's officers, then your soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and you shall live, 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 But if you will not go forth to the king of Babylon's officers, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and you shall not escape out of 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 Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah, "I am afraid of the Jews who are fallen away to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock 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 But Jeremiah said, "They shall not deliver you. Obey, I beg you, the voice of YHWH, in that which I speak to you: so it shall be well with you, and your soul shall live.
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 But if you refuse to go forth, this is the word that YHWH has shown me:
Fa raha tsy mety mivoaka kosa ianao, dia izao no teny efa nasehon’ i Jehovah ahy:
22 look, all the women who are left in the king of Judah's house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon's officers, and those women shall say, 'Your familiar friends have set you on, and have prevailed over you. Your feet are sunk in the mire, they have turned away back.'
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 They shall bring out all your wives and your children to the Chaldeans; and you shall not escape out of their hand, but shall be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and you shall cause this city to be 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 Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, "Let no man know of these words, and you shall not die.
Dia hoy Zedekia tamin’ i Jeremia: Aoka tsy ho ren’ olona ary izany teny izany, mba tsy ho faty ianao.
25 But if the officials hear that I have talked with you, and they come to you, and tell you, 'Declare to us now what you have said to the king; do not hide it from us, and we will not put you to death; also what the king said 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 shall tell them, 'I presented my petition before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house, 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 Then all the officials came to Jeremiah, and asked him; and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they left off speaking with him; for the matter was not perceived.
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 So Jeremiah stayed in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was taken.
Ary Jeremia nitoetra teo amin’ ny kianjan’ ny trano fiambenana mandra-pahatongan’ ny andro nanafahana an’ i Jerosalema.
