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 son of Josiah, this word came from Yahweh, 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.
“Yahweh says this: Stand in the courtyard of my house and speak about all the cities of Judah who come to worship at my house. Proclaim all the words that I have commanded you to say to them. Do not cut short any 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.
It may be that they will listen, that each man will turn from his wicked ways, so I will relent concerning the disaster that I am planning to bring on them because of the wickedness of their practices.
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,
So you must say to them, 'Yahweh says this: If you do not listen to me so as to walk in my law that I have placed 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
if you do not listen to the words of my servants the prophets whom I am persistently sending to you—but you have not listened!—
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 I will make this house like Shiloh; I will turn this city into a curse in the sight of all the nations on 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.
The priests, the prophets, and all the people heard Jeremiah announcing these words in Yahweh's house.
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.
So it happened that when Jeremiah had finished announcing all that Yahweh commanded him to say to all the people, the priests, prophets, and all the people seized him and said, “You will 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 have you prophesied in Yahweh's name and said that this house will become like Shiloh and this city will become desolate, with no inhabitant?” For all the people had formed a mob against Jeremiah in Yahweh's house.
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.
Then the officials of Judah heard these words and went up from the king's house to Yahweh's house. They sat in the gateway at the New Gate of Yahweh's house.
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.
The priests and the prophets spoke to the officials and to all the people. They said, “It is right for this man to die, for he prophesied against this city, just as you heard with your own 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.
So Jeremiah spoke to all the officials and all the people and said, “Yahweh has sent me out to prophesy against this house and this city, to say all the words that you 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.
So now, improve your ways and your practices, and listen to the voice of Yahweh your God so that he will relent concerning the disaster that he has proclaimed against you.
14 Fa ny amiko, dia, indro, efa eto an-tananareo aho; koa ataovy amiko izay ataonareo ho mety sy marina.
I myself—look at me!—am in your hand. Do to me what is 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 you must surely know that if you kill me, then you are bringing innocent blood on yourselves and on this city and its inhabitants, for Yahweh has truly sent me to you to proclaim all these words for 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 the officials and all the people said to the priests and prophets, “It is not right for this man to die, for he has proclaimed things to us in the name of Yahweh our God.”
17 Dia nisy nitsangana ny loholona ka nanao tamin’ ny vahoaka rehetra vory teo hoe:
Then men from the elders of the land rose up and spoke to the entire assembly of the people.
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.”.
They said, “Micah the Morashite was prophesying in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah. He spoke to all the people of Judah and said, 'Yahweh of hosts says this: Zion will become a plowed field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, and the hill of the temple will become a thicket.'
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 of Judah put him to death? Did he not fear Yahweh and appease the face of Yahweh so that Yahweh would relent concerning the disaster that he proclaimed to them? So will we do greater evil against our own lives?”
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.
Meanwhile there was another man who prophesied in the name of Yahweh—Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath Jearim—he also prophesied against this city and this land, agreeing with all of Jeremiah's words.
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;
But when King Jehoiakim and all his soldiers and officials heard his word, then the king tried to put him to death, but Uriah heard and was afraid, so he ran away and went to Egypt.
22 ary Joiakima mpanjaka naniraka olona nankany Egypta, dia Elnatana, zanak’ i Akbora, mbamin’ ny olona sasany nanaraka ny hankany Egypta.
Then King Jehoiakim sent out men to go to Egypt—Elnathan son of Akbor and men to go into Egypt after Uriah.
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.
They took Uriah out from Egypt and brought him to King Jehoiakim. Then Jehoiakim killed him with a sword and sent his corpse out to the graves of the ordinary 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.
But the hand of Ahikam son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, so he was not given into the hand of the people to be put to death.
