Jeremiah 37
1 And king Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
Ary Zedekia mpanjaka, zanak’ i Josia, dia nanjaka nandimby an’ i Jekonia, zanak’ i Joiakima, fa nampanjakain’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, tao amin’ ny tanin’ ny Joda izy;
2 But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, hearkened to the words of the LORD, which he spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.
nefa na izy, na ny mpanompony, na ny vahoaka, dia samy tsy nihaino ny tenin’ i Jehovah, izay nampilazainy an’ i Jeremia mpaminany.
3 And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now to the LORD our God for us.
Ary Zedekia mpanjaka naniraka an’ i Jehokala, zanak’ i Selemia, sy Zefania, zanak’ i Mahaseia, mpisorona, ho any amin’ i Jeremia mpaminany hanao hoe: Mba ivavaho amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika re izahay.
4 Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people: for they had not put him into prison.
Ary Jeremia mbola niditra sy nivoaka teo amin’ ny olona ihany; fa tsy mbola nataony tao an-trano-maizina izy.
5 Then Pharaoh’s army had come from Egypt: and when the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they departed from Jerusalem.
Ary efa niainga avy tany Egypta ny miaramilan’ i Farao, ka raha nahare izany ny Kaldeana izay nanao fahirano an’ i Jerosalema, dia niala tany Jerosalema izy.
6 Then came the word of the LORD to the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Dia tonga tamin’ i Jeremia mpaminany ny tenin’ i Jehovah hoe:
7 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that sent you to me to enquire of me; Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which hath come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Izao no lazaonareo amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda, izay naniraka anareo hankatỳ amiko hanontany amiko: Indro, ny miaramilan’ i Farao, izay efa niainga hamonjy anareo, dia hiverina ho any Egypta taniny;
8 And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire.
fa ho avy indray ny Kaldeana ka hamely ity tanana ity sady hanafaka azy sy handoro azy amin’ ny afo.
9 Thus saith the LORD; Deceive not yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us: for they shall not depart.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Aza mamita-tena foana ianareo ka manao hoe: Hiala amintsika tokoa ny Kaldeana; fa tsy hiala izy tsy akory.
10 For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yet should they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.
Fa na dia mamely ny miaramilan’ ny Kaldeana rehetra izay miady aminareo aza ianareo, ka izay voalefona no ho sisa velona, ireo aza dia samy hitsangana avy ao anaty lainy ka handoro ity tanàna ity amin’ ny afo.
11 And it came to pass, that when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army,
Ary raha niala tany Jerosalema ny miaramilan’ ny Kaldeana noho ny amin’ ny miaramilan’ i Farao,
12 Then Jeremiah went out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to separate himself from there in the midst of the people.
dia nivoaka Jeremia avy tao Jerosalema hankany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Benjamina mba handray izay anjarany eo amin’ ny vahoaka.
13 And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the guard was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he took Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou fallest away to the Chaldeans.
Ary raha tonga teo am-bavahadin’ i Benjamina izy, dia, indro, ny kapitenin’ ny mpiambina, atao hoe Jiria, zanak’ i Selemia, zanak’ i Hanania, no teo; dia nisambotra an’ i Jeremia mpaminany izy ka nanao hoe: Miray tetika amin’ ny Kaldeana ianao.
14 Then said Jeremiah, It is false; I fall not away to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him: so Irijah took Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
Fa hoy Jeremia: Lainga izany. Tsy miray tetika amin’ ny Kaldeana aho. Nefa tsy nino azy ireo, ka dia nosamborin’ i Jiria ihany Jeremia ary nentiny ho ao amin’ ny mpanapaka.
15 Therefore the princes were angry with Jeremiah, and beat him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison.
Ary tezitra tamin’ i Jeremia ny mpanapaka ka nikapoka azy, dia nandatsaka azy tao an-trano-maizina tao amin’ ny tranon’ i Jonatana mpanoratra; fa izany no nataony trano-maizina.
16 When Jeremiah had entered into the dungeon, and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;
Ary nony tafiditra tao an-trano-maizina, tao amin’ ilay niefitrefitra, Jeremia, ka efa nitoetra tao andro maro,
17 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took him out: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from the LORD? And Jeremiah said, There is: for, said he, thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.
dia naniraka haka azy Zedekia mpanjaka; ary ny mpanjaka nanontany azy mangingina tao an-tranony nanao hoe: Moa misy teny avy tamin’ i Jehovah tokoa va? Dia hoy Jeremia: Eny, misy; ary hoy koa izy: Hatolotra eo an-tànan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona ianao.
18 Moreover Jeremiah said to king Zedekiah, How have I offended against thee, or against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in prison?
Ary hoy koa Jeremia tamin’ i Zedekia mpanjaka: Inona no ratsy nataoko taminao, na tamin’ ny mpanomponao, na tamin’ ity firenena ity, no dia nataonareo tao an-trano-maizina aho?
19 Where are now your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?
Aiza moa ireo mpaminaninareo, izay naminany taminareo hoe: Tsy ho avy hiady aminareo na hamely ity tany ity ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona?
20 Therefore hear now, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let my supplication, I pray thee, be accepted before thee; that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.
Koa trarantitra ianao, ry tompokolahy mpanjaka, henoy kely ange! aoka hoborahina eto anatrehanao ny fifonako, ka aza averina ho ao amin’ ny tranon’ i Jonatana mpanoratra aho, fandrao dia maty ao.
21 Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, and that they should give him daily a piece of bread out of the baker’s street, until all the bread in the city should be consumed. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
Dia nasain’ i Zedekia mpanjaka nataony teo amin’ ny kianjan’ ny trano fiambenana Jeremia, ka nasainy nomena mofo iray isan’ andro isan’ andro avy any amin’ ny fitoeran’ ny mpanao mofo izy, ambara-pahalanin’ ny mofo rehetra tao an-tanàna. Toy izany no nitoeran’ i Jeremia teo amin’ ny kianjan’ ny trano fiambenana.
