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, 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 the house of Jehovah, and speak to those who come from all the cities of Judah to worship in the house of Jehovah all the words which I have commanded thee to speak to them; abate 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.
If peradventure they will hearken and turn every one from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil which I purpose to do to them because of their evil 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 to them, Thus saith Jehovah: If ye will not hearken to 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 to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent to you, rising early and sending, and 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 this city will I make 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 when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that Jehovah had commanded him to speak to all the people, then the priests and the prophets and all the people seized him, and said, Thou shalt surely 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 dost thou prophesy in the name of Jehovah, and say, This house shall be as Shiloh, and this city shall be made desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were assembled together 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.
When the princes of Judah heard these things, they went up from the king's house to the house of Jehovah, and sat in the entrance of the new gate of the house 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.
Then spake the priests and the prophets to 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.
Then spake Jeremiah to all the princes and to all the people, saying: Jehovah hath sent me to prophesy against this house, and against this city, all the words which 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.
But now amend ye your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of Jehovah, your God, and Jehovah will repent of the evil which 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.
And as for me, behold, I am in your hands; do to me as it 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.
But know ye for certain that, if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and its inhabitants; for of a truth Jehovah hath sent me to 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.
Then said the princes and all the people to the priests and 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:
Certain elders of the land also rose up, and spoke to all the assembly 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 spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Zion shall be ploughed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps of stones, and the mountain of the house [[of Jehovah]] as the heights 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 to death? Did he not fear Jehovah, and beseech Jehovah, so that Jehovah repented of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Shall we then bring so great an evil upon ourselves?
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.
There was also another man that prophesied in the name of Jehovah, Urijah, the son of Shemaiah of Kirjath-jearim, who prophesied against this city and 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 when Jehoiakim the king, and all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death. But when Urijah heard it, 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.
But Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain 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 brought Urijah out of Egypt, and carried him to King Jehoiakim, who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common 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 he should not be delivered into the hand of the people, to be put to death.
