Jeremia 27
1 Tamin’ ny niandohan’ ny nanjakan’ i Joiakima, zanak’ i Josia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, no nahatongavan’ izao teny izao tamin’ i Jeremia avy tamin’ i Jehovah hoe:
At the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD.
2 Izao no nolazain’ i Jehovah tamiko: Manaova famatorana sy zioga ianao, ka ataovy eo am-bozonao,
This is what the LORD said to me: “Make for yourself a yoke out of leather straps and put it on your neck.
3 ary ampanatero any amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Edoma sy any amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Moaba sy any amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny taranak’ i Amona sy any amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Tyro ary any amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Sidona izany ho entin’ ny iraka izay mankaty Jerosalema ho atỳ amin’ i Zedekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda;
Send word to the kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, and Sidon through the envoys who have come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah.
4 ary asaovy lazainy amin’ ny tompony avy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Izao no holazainareo amin’ ny tomponareo:
Give them a message from the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, to relay to their masters:
5 Izaho no nanao ny tany sy ny olona ary ny biby izay eo aminy tamin’ ny heriko lehibe sy tamin’ ny sandriko nahinjitra; ary efa nomeko ho an’ izay sitraky ny foko ny tany.
By My great power and outstretched arm, I made the earth and the men and beasts on the face of it, and I give it to whom I please.
6 Ary ankehitriny Izaho dia efa nanolotra ireto tany rehetra ireto ho eo an-tànan’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, mpanompoko; eny, na dia ny bibi-dia aza dia efa nomeko hanompo azy koa.
So now I have placed all these lands under the authority of My servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. I have even made the beasts of the field subject to him.
7 Ary ny firenena rehetra dia hanompo azy sy ny zanany ary ny zafiny ambara-pahatongan’ ny fotoana hamaliana ny tanin’ izy io kosa, ka hampanompoin’ ny firenena maro sy ny mpanjaka lehibe izy.
All nations will serve him and his son and grandson, until the time of his own land comes; then many nations and great kings will enslave him.
8 Ary izay firenena na fanjakana tsy mety manompo an’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, ary tsy mety mampiditra ny vozony eo amin’ ny ziogan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona, dia hovaliako amin’ ny sabatra sy ny mosary ary ny areti-mandringana izany firenena izany, hoy Jehovah, ambara-pandringako azy amin’ ny tànany.
As for the nation or kingdom that does not serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and does not place its neck under his yoke, I will punish that nation by sword and famine and plague, declares the LORD, until I have destroyed it by his hand.
9 Ary aza mihaino ny mpaminaninareo ianareo, na ny mpanao fankatovanareo, na ny nofinareo, na ny mpanandronareo, na ny mpanana odinareo, izay manao aminareo hoe: Tsy hanompo ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona ianareo.
But as for you, do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your interpreters of dreams, your mediums, or your sorcerers who declare, ‘You will not serve the king of Babylon.’
10 Fa lainga no vinanin’ ireo aminareo, mba hamindrana anareo ho lavitra ny taninareo, dia horoahiko ianareo ka ho ringana.
For they prophesy to you a lie that will serve to remove you from your land; I will banish you and you will perish.
11 Fa izay firenena mampiditra ny vozony eo amin’ ny ziogan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona kosa ka manompo azy dia havelako hitoetra amin’ ny taniny ihany, hoy Jehovah, ka hiasa azy sady honina ao izy.
But the nation that will put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will leave in its own land, to cultivate it and reside in it, declares the LORD.”
12 Ary Zedekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, koa dia efa nilazako araka izany teny rehetra izany hoe: Ampidiro eo amin’ ny ziogan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona ny vozonareo, ka manompoa azy sy ny vahoakany, dia ho velona ianareo.
And to Zedekiah king of Judah I spoke the same message: “Put your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon; serve him and his people, and live!
13 Nahoana no ho fatin’ ny sabatra sy ny mosary ary ny areti-mandringana ianareo, dia ianao mbamin’ ny vahoakanao, araka ny nolazain’ i Jehovah ny amin’ ny firenena izay tsy mety manompo ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona?
Why should you and your people die by sword and famine and plague, as the LORD has decreed against any nation that does not serve the king of Babylon?
14 Koa aza mihaino ny tenin’ ny mpaminany izay manao aminareo hoe: Tsy hanompo ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona ianareo; fa lainga no vinanin’ ireo aminareo.
Do not listen to the words of the prophets who say, ‘You must not serve the king of Babylon,’ for they are prophesying to you a lie.
15 Fa tsy naniraka azy Aho, hoy Jehovah, nefa manandoka ho mpaminany amin’ ny anarako ihany izy, mba handroahako anareo, ka ho lany ringana ianareo, dia ianareo sy ny mpaminany izay maminany aminareo.
For I have not sent them, declares the LORD, and yet they are prophesying falsely in My name; therefore I will banish you, and you will perish—you and the prophets who prophesy to you.”
16 Ary ny mpisorona sy ity firenena rehetra ity dia efa nilazako hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Aza mihaino ny tenin’ ny mpaminaninareo, izay maminany aminareo hoe: Indro, ny fanaky ny tranon’ i Jehovah hampodina faingana avy any Babylona; fa lainga no vinaniny aminareo.
Then I said to the priests and to all this people, “This is what the LORD says: Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, ‘Look, very soon now the articles from the house of the LORD will be brought back from Babylon.’ They are prophesying to you a lie.
17 Aza mihaino azy, fa manompoa ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona, dia ho velona ianareo; fa nahoana no ho rava ity tanàna ity?
Do not listen to them. Serve the king of Babylon and live! Why should this city become a ruin?
18 Fa raha mpaminany tokoa ireo, ary raha ao aminy tokoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah, dia aoka hifona amin’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, izy, mba tsy ho lasa ho any Babylona koa ny fanaka sisa ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah sy ao an-tranon’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda sy ato Jerosalema
If they are indeed prophets and the word of the LORD is with them, let them now plead with the LORD of Hosts that the articles remaining in the house of the LORD, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, not be taken to Babylon.
19 Fa izao ny lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, ny amin’ ny andry sy ny tavin-drano lehibe sy ny fitoeran-tavin-drano ary ny amin’ ny fanaka hafa izay mbola sisa amin’ ity tanàna ity,
For this is what the LORD of Hosts says about the pillars, the sea, the bases, and the rest of the articles that remain in this city,
20 dia izay tsy nalain’ i Nebokadnezara mpanjakan’ i Babylona, fony izy nitondra an’ i Jekonia, zanak’ i Joiakima, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, ho babo avy tany Jerosalema ho any Babylona, mbamin’ ny manan-kaja rehetra amin’ ny Joda sy Jerosalema,
which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take when he carried Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon, along with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem.
21 eny, izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, ny amin’ ny fanaka izay sisa ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah sy ao an-tranon’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda sy ato Jerosalema:
Yes, this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says about the articles that remain in the house of the LORD, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem:
22 Ho any Babylona no hitondrana ireo, sady hitoetra any izy ambara-pahatongan’ ny andro hamangiako azy, hoy Jehovah, dia vao ho entiko miakatra izy ka hampodiko amin’ ity tanàna ity.
‘They will be carried to Babylon and will remain there until the day I attend to them again,’ declares the LORD. ‘Then I will bring them back and restore them to this place.’”
