< Jeremiah 36 >

1 When Jehoiakim had been the king of Judah for almost four years, Yahweh gave this message to me:
Ary tamin’ ny taona fahefatra nanjakan’ i Joiakima, zanak’ i Josia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, dia tonga tamin’ i Jeremia avy tamin’ i Jehovah izao teny izao hoe:
2 “Get a scroll, and write on it the messages that I have given to you regarding Israel, Judah, and the other nations. Write all of the messages, starting from the time that I gave you the first message, when Josiah was the king, up until now.
Makà horonan-taratasy ianao, ka soraty amin’ izany ny teny rehetra izay nolazaiko taminao ny amin’ ny Isiraely sy ny Joda ary ny firenena rehetra hatramin’ ny andro nilazako taminao dia hatramin’ ny andron’ i Josia ka mandraka androany.
3 When the people of Judah hear [again] about all the disasters that I plan to cause them to experience, perhaps each one of them will repent. If they do that, I will be able to forgive them for the wrong/evil things that they have done.”
Angamba hoheverin’ ny taranak’ i Joda ny loza rehetra izay kasaiko hatao aminy, dia samy hiala amin’ ny lalany ratsy avy izy, ka havelako ny helony sy ny fahotany.
4 [So] I summoned Baruch, the son of Neraiah. Then, as I dictated to him all the messages that Yahweh had spoken to me, he wrote them on a scroll.
Ary Jeremia niantso an’ i Baroka, zanak’ i Neria, ary dia nosoratan’ i Baroka tamin’ ny horonan-taratasy ny tenin’ i Jehovah rehetra avy tamin’ ny vavan’ i Jeremia, dia izay efa nolazainy taminy.
5 Then I said to him, “I am not allowed to [leave here and] go to the temple.
Ary Jeremia nandidy an’ i Baroka hoe: Izaho izao dia voahazona ka tsy afaka mankany an-tranon’ i Jehovah;
6 So, you go [to the temple] on the [next] day when the people are (fasting/abstaining from food), and read to them the messages from Yahweh that you wrote while I dictated them to you. Read them [aloud] to all the people [who are there, including] the people of Judah who come [there] from their towns.
fa mandehana ianao, ka vakio eo anatrehan’ ny vahoaka ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah amin’ ny andro fifadiankanina ny tenin’ i Jehovah, izay efa nosoratanao avy tamin’ ny vavako, ary vakio eo anatrehan’ ny Joda rehetra izay tonga avy any amin’ ny tanànany koa.
7 Perhaps they will turn from their evil behavior and request Yahweh [to act mercifully toward them]. [They must do that, ] because Yahweh is very angry with them and has threatened to punish them severely.”
Fa angamba ny fifonany hoborahina eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, ka dia samy hiala amin’ ny lalany ratsy avy izy; fa loza ny fahatezerana sy ny fahavinirana izay nolazain’ i Jehovah ny amin’ ity firenena ity.
8 Baruch did what I told him to do. He [went to the temple and] read [to the people] all those messages from Yahweh.
Ary Baroka, zanak’ i Neria, dia nanao araka izay rehetra nandidian’ i Jeremia mpaminany azy ka namaky ny tenin’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny taratasy teo an-tranon’ i Jehovah.
9 He did it in December on a day when their leaders had proclaimed that all the people in Jerusalem and the people who had come there from [other] towns in Judah should fast to [please/honor] Yahweh. [It was when] Jehoiakim had been king for almost five years.
Fa tamin’ ny volana fahasivy tamin’ ny taona fahadimy manjakan’ i Joiakima, zanak’ i Josia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, dia niantso fifadian-kanina teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah izy tamin’ ny vahoaka rehetra tany Jerosalema sy tamin’ ny olona rehetra izay efa tonga tany Jerosalema avy eny amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Joda.
10 Baruch read to all the people the messages [that he had written] on the scroll. [He read them while he was] in the temple, in the room where Gemariah stayed. He was the son of Shaphan, [who had previously been the king’s] secretary. That room was close to the upper courtyard [of the temple], near the entrance to the temple that is [called] the New Gate.
Dia novakin’ i Baroka teo anatrehan’ ny vahoaka rehetra tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah ny tenin’ i Jeremia tamin’ ny taratasy, dia tao amin’ ny efi-tranon’ i Gemaria, zanak’ i Safana mpanoratra, teo amin’ ny kianja ambony, teo anoloan’ ny vavahady vaovao amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah.
11 When Micaiah, who was the son of Gemariah and grandson of Shaphan, heard those messages from Yahweh,
Ary nony ren’ i Mikaia, zanak’ i Gemaria, zanak’ i Safana, ny tenin’ i Jehovah rehetra tamin’ ny boky,
12 he went down to the secretary’s room in the palace, where all the king’s officials were meeting. Elishama the [king’s] secretary [was there]. Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, Elnathan the son of Acbor, Gemariah, Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the [other] officials [of the king were also there].
dia nidina nankany amin’ ny tranon’ ny mpanjaka izy ka nankao amin’ ny efi-tranon’ ny mpanoratra; ary indreo ny mpanapaka rehetra nipetraka teo, dia Elisama mpanoratra sy Delaia, zanak’ i Semaia, sy Elnatana zanak’ i Akbora, sy Gemaria, zanak’ i Safana, sy Zedekia, zanak’ i Hanania, mbamin’ ny mpanapaka rehetra.
13 When Micaiah told them about the messages that Baruch had been reading to the people,
Dia nambaran’ i Mikaia azy ny teny rehetra izay efa reny tamin’ ny namakian’ i Baroka ny taratasy teo anatrehan’ ny vahoaka.
14 the officials sent Jehudi, who was the son of Nethaniah and grandson of Shelemiah and great-grandson of Cushi, to tell Baruch to come [and read the messages to them, also]. So Baruch took the scroll and went to them.
Dia nirahin’ ny mpanapaka rehetra Jehody, zanak’ i Netania, zanak’ i Selemia, zanak’ i Kosy, ho any amin’ i Baroka hanao hoe: Ento eny an-tananao ny horonan-taratasy, ilay novakinao teo anatrehan’ ny vahoaka, ka mankanesa atỳ. Dia nentin’ i Baroka, zanak’ i Neria, teny an-tànany ny horonan-taratasy, ka dia nankany aminy izy.
15 They said to him, “Please sit down and read it [to us].” So Baruch did what they requested.
Ary hoy izy Ireo taminy: Mipetraha ary, ka vakio eto anatrehanay. Dia novakin’ i Baroka teo anatrehany.
16 After they had heard all the messages, they were afraid. They looked at each other and [then] they said, “We must tell these messages to the king!”
Ary rehefa reny ny teny rehetra, dia nifampijerijery tamin-tahotra izy, ka hoy izy tamin’ i Baroka: Tsy maintsy holazainay amin’ ny mpanjaka izany teny rehetra izany.
17 Then they asked Baruch, “How did you get this scroll? Did Jeremiah dictate to you all the messages on this scroll?”
Ary Baroka dia nadininy hoe: Lazao aminay ny nanoratanao izao teny rehetra izao avy tamin’ ny vavany.
18 Baruch replied, “[Yes], Jeremiah dictated them to me, and I wrote them with ink on this scroll.”
Dia hoy Baroka taminy: Ny vavany no nanonona izany teny rehetra izany tamiko, ka dia nosoratako an-taratasy tamin’ ny ranomainty.
19 Then the officials told Baruch, “You and Jeremiah must both hide. Do not tell anyone where you are!”
Dia hoy ny mpanapaka tamin’ i Baroka: Mandehana, ka miere ianao sy Jeremia, ary aoka tsy hisy olona hahita izay itoeranareo.
20 They put the scroll in the room of Elishama, the king’s secretary. Then they went to the king, who was in the courtyard, and reported to him everything [that Baruch had read to them].
Dia niditra tao amin’ ny mpanjaka tao amin’ ny kianja izy ireo (nefa ny horonan-taratasy efa napetrany tao amin’ ny efi-tranon’ i Elisama mpanoratra), ary nambarany teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka ny teny rehetra.
21 Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll. Jehudi brought it from Elishama’s room and read it to the king, while all the [king’s] officials were standing there.
Ary nirahin’ ny mpanjaka Jehody haka ilay horonan-taratasy, dia nalainy tao amin’ ny efi-tranon’ i Elisama mpanoratra iny. Ary dia novakin’ i Jehody teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka sy ny mpanapaka rehetra izay nitsangana teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka izany.
22 It was in the cold season, and the king was in a part of the palace where he stayed when it was cold. He was sitting in front of a fire [to keep/be warm].
Ary ny mpanjaka nipetraka tao an-trano ririnina tamin’ ny volana fahasivy, sady nisy afo nirehitra teo am-patana teo anoloany.
23 Each time Jehudi finished reading three or four columns, the king cut off that section of the scroll with a knife and threw it into the fire. He did that, section by section, until the entire scroll was burned up.
Ary nony efa namaky toko telo na efatra Jehody, dia notapatapahin’ ny mpanjaka tamin’ ny antsipika ny horonan-taratasy ka natsipitsipiny teo anaty afo teo am-patana, mandra-pahalevon’ ny afo azy rehetra teo am-patana.
24 Neither the king nor his officials showed that they were afraid [that God would punish them]. They did not tear their clothes [to show that they were sorry for what they had done].
Nefa ny natahotra akory ireo na nandriatra ny fitafiany, na ny mpanjaka, na ny mpanompony rehetra, izay efa nandre izany teny rehetra izany.
25 Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah pleaded with the king not to burn the scroll, but he did not pay any attention.
Ary na dia efa nifona tamin’ ny mpanjaka aza Elnatana sy Delaia ary Gemaria, mba tsy handoro ny horonan-taratasy, dia tsy nety nihaino azy izy.
26 Then the king commanded his son Jerahmeel, Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel to arrest Baruch and me. But [they were unable to do that because] Yahweh had hidden us.
Ary ny mpanjaka nandidy an’ i Jeremeia, zanak’ andriana, sy Seraia, zanak’ i Azriela, ary Selemia, zanak’ i Abdela, hisambotra an’ i Baroka mpanoratra sy Jeremia mpaminany; fa nafenin’ i Jehovah izy roa lahy.
27 After the king had burned the scroll on which were written the messages that I had dictated to Baruch, Yahweh said this to me:
Dia tonga tamin’ i Jeremia ny tenin’ i Jehovah, taorian’ ny nandoroan’ ny mpanjaka ny horonan-taratasy sy ny teny izay nosoratan’ i Baroka avy tamin’ ny vavan’ i Jeremia, nanao hoe:
28 “Get another scroll, and [tell Baruch to] write everything again, the same messages that he had written on the scroll that the king burned.
Makà horonan-taratasy hafa koa indray ianao, ka soraty aminy ilay teny rehetra tamin’ ny horonan-taratasy teo, dia ilay nodoran’ i Joiakima, mpanjakan’ ny Joda.
29 [Then go to] the king and say to him, ‘Yahweh says this: “You burned the scroll [because you did not like] what was written on it, that the king of Babylon would surely [RHQ] come [with his army] and destroy this land and get rid of all the people and the animals.
Ary ny amin’ i Joiakima, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, dia holazainao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Hianao efa nandoro iny horonan-taratasy iny ka nanao hoe: Ahoana no nanoratanao tamin’ iny hoe: Ho avy tokoa ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona ka handrava ity tany ity sy hahalany ritra ny olona mbamin’ ny biby eto?
30 Now this is what [I], Yahweh, say about [you], Jehoiakim: 'None of your descendants will rule this kingdom [MTY]. Your corpse will be thrown out [on the ground and not be buried]; it will be under the hot [sun] during the days and [struck by] frost during the nights.
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah ny amin’ i Joiakima, mpanjakan’ ny Joda: Tsy hanana fara handimby eo amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ i Davida izy; ary ny fatiny dia hariana ka hasian’ ny hainandro amin’ ny antoandro ary ny fanala amin’ ny alina.
31 I will punish you and your family and your officials for their sins. And I will cause the people of Jerusalem and the people of the [other] towns in Judah to experience all the disasters that I promised, because you all would not pay attention [to what I said]!'” '”
Ary hampijaliko izy mbamin’ ny taranany sy ny mpanompony noho ny helony; ary havoko mihatra aminy sy amin’ ny mponina any Jerosalema ary amin’ ny lehilahy amin’ ny Joda ny loza rehetra izay nolazaiko hatao aminy, fa tsy nohenoiny.
32 So I took another scroll, and again I dictated the messages to Baruch. He wrote everything that had been written on the [other] scroll, the one that King Jehoiakim had burned in the fire. [But this time, I] added more messages.
Ary Jeremia dia naka horonan-taratasy hafa koa, ka natolony an’ i Baroka mpanoratra, zanak’ i Neria, ary izy nanoratra tao avy tamin’ ny vavan’ i Jeremia ny teny rehetra izay tao amin’ ilay horonan-taratasy nodoran’ i Joiakima, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, tamin’ ny afo; sady nampiany teny maro tahaka ireny koa aza.
