Jeremiah 29
1 And these [are] words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the remnant of the elders of the removal, and unto the priests, and unto the prophets, and unto all the people — whom Nebuchadnezzar removed from Jerusalem to Babylon,
Ary izao no fitenin’ ny taratasy izay nampitondrain’ i Jeremia mpaminany avy tany Jerosalema ho any amin’ ny sisa amin’ ny loholona voababo sy ho amin’ ny mpisorona sy ny mpaminany ary ny vahoaka rehetra, izay nobaboin’ i Nebokadnezara ka nentiny avy tany Jerosalema ho any Babylona
2 After the going forth of Jeconiah the king, and the mistress, and the officers, heads of Judah and Jerusalem, and the artificer, and the smith, from Jerusalem —
(rehefa lasa niala tany Jerosalema Jekonia mpanjaka sy ny reniny sy ny tandapa sy ny mpanapaka ny Joda sy Jerosalema mbamin’ ny mahay tao-zavatra sy ny mpanefy vy),
3 By the hand of Eleasah son of Shaphan, and Gemariah son of Hilkijah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent unto Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon — to Babylon, saying,
dia ilay teny nampitondrainy an’ i Elasa, zanak’ i Safana, sy Gemaria, zanak’ i Hilkia, izay nirahin’ i Zedekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, ho any Babylona, ho any amin’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, nanao hoe:
4 'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, to all the removal that I removed from Jerusalem to Babylon,
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, amin’ ny babo rehetra izay natolotro ho babo avy tany Jerosalema ho any Babylona:
5 Build ye houses, and abide; and plant ye gardens, and eat their fruit;
Manaova trano ianareo, ka mitoera aminy; ary manaova tanimboly, ka hano ny vokatra avy aminy.
6 Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take for your sons wives, and your daughters give to husbands, and they bear sons and daughters; and multiply there, and ye are not few;
Manambadia, ka miteraha zazalahy sy zazavavy; analao vady ny zanakalahinareo, ary ampanambadio ny zanakavavinareo, mba hiterahany zazalahy sy zazavavy, ka hihamaro anie ianareo, fa tsy hihavitsy.
7 And seek the peace of the city whither I have removed you, and pray for it unto Jehovah, for in its peace ye have peace.
Ary katsaho izay hiadanan’ ny tanàna izay nampandehanako anareo ho babo, ary mivavaha amin’ i Jehovah ho azy; fa raha miadana izy, dia mba hiadana koa ianareo.
8 'For thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Let not your prophets who [are] in your midst, and your diviners, lift you up, nor hearken ye unto their dreams, that ye are causing [them] to dream;
Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Aza mety hofitahin’ ny mpaminaninareo sy ny mpanao fankatovanareo, izay ao aminareo, ary aza mino ny nofinareo izay nofisinareo.
9 For with falsehood they are prophesying to you in My name; I have not sent them, an affirmation of Jehovah.
Fa lainga no vinaniny aminareo amin’ ny anarako; tsy naniraka azy Aho, hoy Jehovah.
10 'For thus said Jehovah, Surely at the fulness of Babylon — seventy years — I inspect you, and have established towards you My good word, to bring you back unto this place.
Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Rehefa tapitra ny fito-polo taona ny amin’ i Babylona, dia hamangy anareo Aho, fa hotanterahiko aminareo ny teniko tsara, ka hampodiko ho amin’ ity tany ity ianareo.
11 For I have known the thoughts that I am thinking towards you — an affirmation of Jehovah; thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give to you posterity and hope.
Fa Izaho mahalala ny hevitra iheverako anareo, hoy Jehovah, dia hevitra hahatonga fiadanana, fa tsy loza, mba hanome anareo fanantenana ny amin’ ny farany.
12 'And ye have called Me, and have gone, and have prayed unto Me, and I have hearkened unto you,
Ary hiantso Ahy ianareo ka handeha sy hivavaka amiko, dia hihaino anareo Aho.
13 And ye have sought Me, and have found, for ye seek Me with all your heart;
Ary hitady Ahy ianareo, dia ho hitanareo Aho, raha katsahinareo amin’ ny fonareo rehetra.
14 And I have been found of you — an affirmation of Jehovah; and I have turned back [to] your captivity, and have gathered you out of all the nations, and out of all the places whither I have driven you — an affirmation of Jehovah — and I have brought you back unto the place whence I removed you.
Eny, ho hitanareo Aho, hoy Jehovah; ary hampodiko avy amin’ ny fahababoana ianareo, ka hangoniko avy any amin’ ny firenena rehetra sy avy any amin’ ny tany rehetra izay nandroahako anareo, hoy Jehovah, ka hampodiko ho any amin’ ilay tany efa nanolorako anareo hobaboina.
15 'Because ye have said, Jehovah hath raised up to us prophets in Babylon,
Fa hoy ianareo: Jehovah nanangana mpaminany ho anay eto Babylona.
16 Surely thus said Jehovah concerning the king who is sitting on the throne of David, and concerning all the people that is dwelling in this city, your brethren who went not forth with you in the removal;
Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah ny amin’ ny mpanjaka izay mipetraka eo amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ i Davida sy ny amin’ ny vahoaka rehetra izay monina amin’ ity tanàna ity, dia ny rahalahinareo izay tsy mba lasan-ko babo niaraka taminareo.
17 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Lo, I am sending among them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and I have given them up as figs that [are] vile, that are not eaten for badness.
izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Indro, hampameleziko azy ny sabatra sy ny mosary ary ny areti-mandringana, ka hataoko toy ny aviavy ratsy dia ratsy izay tsy azo hanina noho ny haratsiny izy.
18 And I have pursued after them with sword, with famine, and with pestilence, and have given them for a trembling to all kingdoms of the earth, for a curse and for an astonishment, and for a hissing, and for a reproach among all the nations whither I have driven them,
Ary henjehiko amin’ ny sabatra sy ny mosary ary ny areti-mandringana izy ka hatolotro ho mpanjenjena any amin’ ny fanjakana rehetra ambonin’ ny tany, ho fanozonana sy figagana sy zavatra mampisitrisitra sy fandatsa ho an’ ny firenena izay nandroahako, azy
19 Because that they have not hearkened unto My words — an affirmation of Jehovah — that I sent unto them by My servants the prophets, rising early and sending, and ye hearkened not — an affirmation of Jehovah.
noho ny tsy nihainoany ny teniko, hoy Jehovah, izay nampitondraiko ny mpaminany mpanompoko ho any aminy, teny, nifoha maraina koa Aho ka naniraka azy, nefa tsy nihaino ianareo, hoy Jehovah.
20 'And ye, hear ye a word of Jehovah, all ye of the captivity that I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon,
Koa mihainoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah, ianareo babo rehetra izay nesoriko tany Jerosalema ho atỳ Babylona.
21 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, concerning Ahab son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying to you in My name falsehood: Lo, I am giving them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he hath smitten them before your eyes,
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, ny amin’ i Ahaba, zanak’ i Kolaia, sy ny amin’ i Zedekia, zanak’ i Mahaseia, izay maminany lainga aminareo amin’ ny anarako: Indro, hatolotro eo an-tanan’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, izy, ka dia hovonoiny eo imasonareo.
22 And taken from them hath been a reviling by all the removed of Judah that [are] in Babylon, saying, Jehovah doth set thee as Zedekiah, and as Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted with fire;
Ary izy roa lahy dia hataon’ ny babo rehetra amin’ ny Joda izay any Babylona ho fanozonana hoe: Hataon’ i Jehovah tahaka an’ i Zedekia sy Ahaba, izay nodoran’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona tamin’ ny afo, anie ianao,
23 Because that they have done folly in Israel, and commit adultery with the wives of their neighbours, and speak a word in My name falsely that I have not commanded them, and I [am] He who knoweth and a witness — an affirmation of Jehovah.
noho ny nanaovany izay fady indrindra tao amin’ ny Isiraely sy ny nijangajangany tamin’ ny vadin’ ny namany ary ny nitenenany lainga tamin’ ny anarako, izay tsy nandidiako azy; Izaho no mahalala, ka ho vavolombelona Aho, hoy Jehovah.
24 'And unto Shemaiah the Nehelamite thou dost speak, saying,
Ary Semaia Nehelamita dia hilazanao hoe:
25 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, saying, Because that thou hast sent in thy name letters unto all the people who [are] in Jerusalem, and unto Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest, and unto all the priests, saying,
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Noho ny nampitondranao taratasy tamin’ ny anaranao ho amin’ ny vahoaka rehetra izay any Jerosalema sy amin’ i Zefania mpisorona, zanak’ i Mahaseia, ary amin’ ny mpisorona rehetra hafa koa nanao hoe:
26 Jehovah hath made thee priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, for there being inspectors of the house of Jehovah, for every one mad and making himself a prophet, and thou hast put him unto the torture and unto the stocks.
Jehovah efa nanao anao ho mpisorona ho solon’ i Joiada mpisorona, mba hanendry izay ho mpiandraikitra ny tranon’ i Jehovah, hisakana izay rehetra very saina sy manao azy ho mpaminany, ka dia hasianao boloky hazo ny vozony sy ny tongony;
27 And now, why hast thou not pushed against Jeremiah of Anathoth, who is making himself a prophet to you?
koa nahoana ianao no tsy nananatra mafy an’ i Jeremia avy any Anatota, izay manao azy ho mpaminany aminareo?
28 Because that he hath sent unto us to Babylon, saying, It [is] long, build ye houses, and abide; and plant ye gardens, and eat their fruit.'
Fa naniraka ho aminay any Babylona izy nanao hoe: Mbola haharitra ela izao, koa manaova trano ianareo, dia mitoera aminy, ary manaova tanimboly, ka hano ny vokatra aminy.
29 And Zephaniah the priest readeth this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.
Ary Zefania mpisorona namaky izany taratasy izany teo anatrehan’ i Jeremia mpaminany.
30 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah, saying,
Dia tonga tamin’ i Jeremia ny tenin’ i Jehovah hoe:
31 'Send unto all the removal, saying, Thus said Jehovah concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite, Because that Shemaiah prophesied to you, and I — I have not sent him, and he doth cause you to trust on falsehood,
Maniraha ho any amin’ ny babo rehetra, ka lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah ny amin’ i Semaia Nehelamita: Noho ny naminanian’ i Semaia taminareo, kanefa tsy nirahiko izy tsinona, fa nampitoky anareo tamin’ ny lainga
32 Therefore, thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am seeing after Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and after his seed, he hath none dwelling in the midst of this people, nor doth he look on the good that I am doing to My people — an affirmation of Jehovah — for apostasy he hath spoken against Jehovah.'
dia izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, efa hamaly an’ i Semaia Nehelamita sy ny taranany Aho: tsy hanana zanakalahy honina amin’ ity firenena ity izy sady tsy hanam-pifaliana amin’ ny hahitana ny soa izay hataoko amin’ ny oloko, hoy Jehovah, satria fiodinana tamin’ i Jehovah no notoriny.
