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:

In the beginning of the reign of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

2 Izao no nolazain’ i Jehovah tamiko: Manaova famatorana sy zioga ianao, ka ataovy eo am-bozonao,

Thus said the Lord to me, Make for thyself bands and yoke-bars, and put them around thy 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;

And send such to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of 'Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by means of the messengers who come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah the 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:

And thou shalt charge them unto their masters, saying, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Thus shall ye say unto your 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.

It is I who have made the earth, the men, and the beasts that are upon the face of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and I have given it unto the one who seemeth proper in my eyes.

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.

And now it is I who have given all these countries into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and also the beasts of the field have I given him to serve 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.

And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the time of his land is also come in its turn: when many nations and great kings shall make it serve.

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.

And it shall come to pass, that the nation and the kingdom which will not serve him, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put its neck in the yoke of the king of Babylon, —even that nation will I punish with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, saith the Lord, until I have made an end of them 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 do ye not hearken to your prophets, and to your diviners, and to your dreamers, and to your enchanters, and to your sorcerers, who speak unto you, saying, Ye shall 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 falsehood do they prophesy unto you, in order to remove you far from your land; and that I might drive you out, and that ye might 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 bring its neck into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, —that one will I then let remain quietly in its own land, saith the Lord: and it shall till it, and dwell therein.

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 unto Zedekiah the king of Judah did I speak in accordance with all these words, saying, Bring your neck into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, that ye may 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 will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by pestilence, as the Lord hath spoken concerning the nation that will 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.

And do ye not hearken unto the words of the prophets that say unto you, as followeth, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon; for a falsehood do they prophesy unto you.

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, saith the Lord, yet they prophesy in my name falsely: in order that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto 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.

And unto the priests and unto all this people did I speak, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, Do not hearken to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the house of the Lord shall be brought again from Babylon now speedily; for a falsehood do they prophesy unto you.

17 Aza mihaino azy, fa manompoa ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona, dia ho velona ianareo; fa nahoana no ho rava ity tanàna ity?

Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, that ye may live: wherefore 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

And if they be prophets, and if the word of the Lord be with them, let them now make intercession with the Lord of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, may not be carried 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 thus hath said the Lord of hosts of the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that are left 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 the king of Babylon did not take away, when he carried away into exile Jechonyah the son of Jehoyakim the king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, 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:

[Yea] for thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of the Lord, and in the house 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.

Unto Babylon shall they be carried, and there shall they remain until the day that I think of them, saith the Lord, when I will bring them up, and restore them to this place.
