< Jeremiah 40 >

1 The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, after that Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, had let him go from Ramah. For he had taken him, and he had been bound with chains among all the captives of Jerusalem and Judah which were carried away captive 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 captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said to him: “Jehovah, thy God, pronounced this evil against 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 now Jehovah hath brought it, and done according as he spake, because ye sinned against Jehovah, and obeyed not his voice; therefore hath this thing come upon 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 loose thee this day from the chains upon thy hands. If it seem good to thee to come with me to Babylon, come; and I will set my eyes upon thee; but if it seem evil to thee to come with me to Babylon, forbear; behold, the whole land is before thee; whither it seemeth good and desirable for thee to go, thither 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 was not yet gone away [[he said]]: “Go to Gedaliah, the of son Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people; or go whithersoever it seemeth good to thee to go.” And the captain of the guard gave him provisions, and a present, and dismissed him.
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 went to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, to Mizpah, and dwelt with him among the people that were 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 Now when all the captains of the forces which were in the fields, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, governor over the land, and had committed to his charge men and women and children, of the poor of the land, of them that were not carried away captive 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 then they came to Gedaliah, to Mizpah; namely, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan, the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah, the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah, the 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, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, swore to them and to their men, saying, “Fear not to serve the Chaldaeans; dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with 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 As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah, to stand before the Chaldaeans, who shall come to us; but ye, gather ye in wine, and summer fruits, and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities which ye 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 Also when all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the children of Ammon, and in Edom, and that were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant to Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the 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 then all the Jews returned from all the places whither they were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer fruits in abundance.
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, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were in the fields, came to Gedaliah, to Mizpah,
Niheo mb’amy Gedalia e Mitspà mb’eo t’Iohanane ana’ i Karea naho ze hene mpiaolon-dahin-defo an-kaloke,
14 and said to him, “Dost thou know that Baalis, the king of the children of Ammon, hath sent Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, to slay thee?” But Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, believed them not.
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, the son of Kareah, spake to Gedaliah in private at Mizpah, saying, “Let me go, I pray thee, and smite Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know it. Wherefore should he slay thee, that all the Jews which are gathered to thee should be scattered, and the remnant in Judah perish?”
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 But Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, said to Johanan, the son of Kareah, “Thou shalt not do this thing, for thou speakest falsely of Ishmael.”
Fe hoe t’i Gedelia ana’ i Ahikame am’ Iehonane ana’ i Karea, Ko manao zao, ihe andañira’o Ismaele.
