Jeremia 26
1 Tamin’ ny niandohan’ ny nanjakan’ i Joiakima, zanak’ i Josia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, no nahatongavan’ izao teny izao avy tamin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, came this word from Jehovah, saying,
2 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Mitsangàna eo an-kianjan’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah, ka lazao amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Joda rehetra, izay avy hiankohoka ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah, ny teny rehetra izay efa nasaiko hambaranao aminy, ary aza amelana na dia teny iray akory aza.
Thus saith Jehovah: Stand in the court of Jehovah's house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in Jehovah's house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them: diminish not a word.
3 Fa angamba hihaino ihany izy, ka samy hiala amin’ ny lalany ratsy, dia hanenenako ny loza izay kasaiko hamelezana azy noho ny faharatsian’ ny ataony.
Peradventure they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil which I purpose to do unto them because of the wickedness of their doings.
4 Ary lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Raha tsy mihaino Ahy ianareo ka tsy mandeha araka ny lalàko izay napetrako teo anoloanareo,
And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah: If ye will not hearken unto me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,
5 ary tsy mihaino ny tenin’ ny mpaminany mpanompoko, izay irahiko aminareo, eny, nifoha maraina koa Aho ka naniraka, nefa tsy mba nihaino ianareo
to hearken unto the words of my servants the prophets, whom I have sent unto you, even rising early and sending [them], but ye have not hearkened,
6 dia hataoko tahaka an’ i Silo ity trano ity, ary hataoko fanozonana ho an’ ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany ity tanàna ity.
— then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.
7 Ary ny mpisorona sy ny mpaminany mbamin’ ny vahoaka rehetra dia nandre an’ i Jeremia nanambara ireo teny rehetra ireo tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah.
And the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of Jehovah.
8 Koa nony efa tapitra voalazan’ i Jeremia izay rehetra nasain’ i Jehovah nolazaina tamin’ ny vahoaka rehetra, dia nosamborin’ ny mpisorona sy ny mpaminany mbamin’ ny vahoaka rehetra izy ka nataony hoe: Ho faty tokoa ianao.
And it came to pass when Jeremiah had ended speaking all that Jehovah had commanded [him] to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people seized him, saying, Thou shalt certainly die.
9 Nahoana ianao no naminany tamin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah hoe: Ho tahaka an’ i Silo ity tanàna ity, ary ho lao ity tanàna ity, ka tsy hisy mponina? Ary ny vahoaka rehetra dia nitangorona tamin’ i Jeremia tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah.
Why hast thou prophesied in the name of Jehovah, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate, without inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah.
10 Fa nony ren’ ny mpanapaka ny Joda izany zavatra izany, dia niakatra avy tany amin’ ny tranon’ ny mpanjaka nankany amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah izy ka nipetraka teo anoloan’ ny vavahady vaovaon’ i Jehovah.
And the princes of Judah heard these things; and they went up from the king's house unto the house of Jehovah, and sat in the entry of the new gate of Jehovah.
11 Ary ny mpisorona sy ny mpaminany nilaza tamin’ ny mpanapaka sy ny vahoaka rehetra hoe: Misy heloka tokony hahafaty ity lehilahy ity; fa efa naminany loza ho amin’ ity tanàna ity izy araka izay efa ren’ ny sofinareo.
And the priests and the prophets spoke unto the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy to die, for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears.
12 Dia nilaza tamin’ ny mpanapaka rehetra sy ny vahoaka rehetra Jeremia hoe: Jehovah no naniraka ahy haminany izay rehetra efa renareo ny amin’ ity trano sy ity tanàna ity.
And Jeremiah spoke to all the princes and to all the people, saying, Jehovah sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard.
13 Koa ankehitriny ataovy tsara ny lalanareo sy ny ataonareo, ary mihainoa ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo; fa hanenenan’ i Jehovah ny loza izay efa nolazainy hamelezana anareo.
And now, amend your ways and your doings, and hearken to the voice of Jehovah your God; and Jehovah will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you.
14 Fa ny amiko, dia, indro, efa eto an-tananareo aho; koa ataovy amiko izay ataonareo ho mety sy marina.
But as for me, behold, I am in your hand; do unto me as seemeth good and right in your eyes:
15 Kanefa mihevera tsara, fa raha mamono ahy anie ianareo, dia hahatonga rà marina aminareo sy amin’ ity tanàna ity ary amin’ ny mponina eto, satria Jehovah tokoa no naniraka ahy taminareo hilaza ireo teny rehetra ireo eto anatrehanareo.
only know for certain that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof; for of a truth Jehovah hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears.
16 Dia hoy ny mpanapaka sy ny vahoaka rehetra tamin’ ny mpisorona sy ny mpaminany: Tsy misy heloka tokony hahafaty ity lehilahy ity, satria tamin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika no nitenenany tamintsika.
And the princes and all the people said unto the priests and to the prophets, This man is not worthy to die; for he hath spoken to us in the name of Jehovah our God.
17 Dia nisy nitsangana ny loholona ka nanao tamin’ ny vahoaka rehetra vory teo hoe:
And there rose up certain of the elders of the land and spoke to all the congregation of the people, saying,
18 Mika Morastita dia naminany tamin’ ny andron’ i Hezekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, ka nanao tamin’ ny Joda rehetra hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: “Ziona dia hasaina toy ny tanimboly, ary Jerosalema ho tonga korontam-bato, ary ny tendrombohitra misy ny trano dia ho tonga toy ny havoana mifono ala.”.
Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Zion shall be ploughed [as] a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
19 Moa namono azy va Hezekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, sy ny Joda rehetra? Tsy natahotra an’ i Jehovah va izy ka nifona tamin’ i Jehovah, ka dia nanenenan’ i Jehovah ny loza izay efa nolazainy hamelezany azy? Fa isika kosa izao dia mila hampidi-doza lehibe amin’ ny tenantsika.
Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death? Did he not fear Jehovah, and supplicate Jehovah, and Jehovah repented him of the evil that he had pronounced against them? And we should be doing a great evil against our souls.
20 Ary nisy lehilahy anankiray koa izay naminany tamin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah, dia Oria, zanak’ i Semaia, avy any Kiriata-jearima, izay naminany loza ho amin’ ity tanàna sy ity tany ity araka izany teny rehetra nataon’ i Jeremia izany koa.
And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of Jehovah, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjath-jearim: and he prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah;
21 Ary nony ren’ i Joiakima mpanjaka sy ny lehilahy maheriny rehetra ny teniny, dia nitady hahafaty azy ny mpanjaka; ary nony nandre izany Oria, dia natahotra izy ka nandositra, ary tonga tany Egypta;
and Jehoiakim the king, and all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, and the king sought to put him to death; but Urijah heard it, and he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt.
22 ary Joiakima mpanjaka naniraka olona nankany Egypta, dia Elnatana, zanak’ i Akbora, mbamin’ ny olona sasany nanaraka ny hankany Egypta.
And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and men with him, into Egypt;
23 Ary Oria dia nalain’ ireo niala avy tany Egypta ka nentiny teo amin’ i Joiakima mpanjaka; ary izy namono azy tamin’ ny sabatra, dia nanary ny fatiny teny amin’ ny fasam-bahoaka.
and they fetched forth Urijah out of Egypt, and brought him to Jehoiakim the king; and he slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the children of the people.
24 Nefa ny tànan’ i Ahikama, zanak’ i Safana, dia nomba an’ i Jeremia mba tsy hanolorana azy ho eo an-tànan’ ny vahoaka hovonoiny.
— Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
