Jeremia 36
1 Ary tamin’ ny taona fahefatra nanjakan’ i Joiakima, zanak’ i Josia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, dia tonga tamin’ i Jeremia avy tamin’ i Jehovah izao teny izao hoe:
And these are the words of the book which Jeremias sent from Jerusalem to the elders of the captivity, and to the priests, and to the false prophets, even an epistle to Babylon for the captivity, and to all the people;
2 Makà horonan-taratasy ianao, ka soraty amin’ izany ny teny rehetra izay nolazaiko taminao ny amin’ ny Isiraely sy ny Joda ary ny firenena rehetra hatramin’ ny andro nilazako taminao dia hatramin’ ny andron’ i Josia ka mandraka androany.
(after the departure of Jechonias the king and the queen, and the eunuchs, and every freeman, and bondman, and artificer, out of Jerusalem; )
3 Angamba hoheverin’ ny taranak’ i Joda ny loza rehetra izay kasaiko hatao aminy, dia samy hiala amin’ ny lalany ratsy avy izy, ka havelako ny helony sy ny fahotany.
by the hand of Eleasan son of Saphan, and Gamarias son of Chelcias, (whom Sedekias king of Juda sent to the king of Babylon to Babylon) saying,
4 Ary Jeremia niantso an’ i Baroka, zanak’ i Neria, ary dia nosoratan’ i Baroka tamin’ ny horonan-taratasy ny tenin’ i Jehovah rehetra avy tamin’ ny vavan’ i Jeremia, dia izay efa nolazainy taminy.
Thus said the Lord God of Israel concerning the captivity which I caused to be carried away from Jerusalem;
5 Ary Jeremia nandidy an’ i Baroka hoe: Izaho izao dia voahazona ka tsy afaka mankany an-tranon’ i Jehovah;
Build you houses, and inhabit [them]; and plant gardens, and eat the fruits thereof;
6 fa mandehana ianao, ka vakio eo anatrehan’ ny vahoaka ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah amin’ ny andro fifadiankanina ny tenin’ i Jehovah, izay efa nosoratanao avy tamin’ ny vavako, ary vakio eo anatrehan’ ny Joda rehetra izay tonga avy any amin’ ny tanànany koa.
and take you wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, and be multiplied, and be not diminished.
7 Fa angamba ny fifonany hoborahina eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, ka dia samy hiala amin’ ny lalany ratsy avy izy; fa loza ny fahatezerana sy ny fahavinirana izay nolazain’ i Jehovah ny amin’ ity firenena ity.
And seek the peace of the land into which I have carried you captive, and you shall pray to the Lord for the people: for in its peace you shall [have] peace.
8 Ary Baroka, zanak’ i Neria, dia nanao araka izay rehetra nandidian’ i Jeremia mpaminany azy ka namaky ny tenin’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny taratasy teo an-tranon’ i Jehovah.
For thus says the Lord; Let not the false prophets that are among you persuade you, and let not your diviners persuade you, and listen not to your dreams which you dream.
9 Fa tamin’ ny volana fahasivy tamin’ ny taona fahadimy manjakan’ i Joiakima, zanak’ i Josia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, dia niantso fifadian-kanina teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah izy tamin’ ny vahoaka rehetra tany Jerosalema sy tamin’ ny olona rehetra izay efa tonga tany Jerosalema avy eny amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Joda.
For they prophesy to you unrighteous [words] in my name; and I sent them not.
10 Dia novakin’ i Baroka teo anatrehan’ ny vahoaka rehetra tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah ny tenin’ i Jeremia tamin’ ny taratasy, dia tao amin’ ny efi-tranon’ i Gemaria, zanak’ i Safana mpanoratra, teo amin’ ny kianja ambony, teo anoloan’ ny vavahady vaovao amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah.
For thus said the Lord; When seventy years shall be on the point of being accomplished at Babylon, I will visit you, and will confirm my words to you, to bring back your people to this place.
11 Ary nony ren’ i Mikaia, zanak’ i Gemaria, zanak’ i Safana, ny tenin’ i Jehovah rehetra tamin’ ny boky,
And I will devise for you a device of peace, and not evil, to bestow upon you these [good things].
12 dia nidina nankany amin’ ny tranon’ ny mpanjaka izy ka nankao amin’ ny efi-tranon’ ny mpanoratra; ary indreo ny mpanapaka rehetra nipetraka teo, dia Elisama mpanoratra sy Delaia, zanak’ i Semaia, sy Elnatana zanak’ i Akbora, sy Gemaria, zanak’ i Safana, sy Zedekia, zanak’ i Hanania, mbamin’ ny mpanapaka rehetra.
And do you pray to me, and I will listen to you: and do you earnestly seek me, and you shall find me;
13 Dia nambaran’ i Mikaia azy ny teny rehetra izay efa reny tamin’ ny namakian’ i Baroka ny taratasy teo anatrehan’ ny vahoaka.
for you shall seek me with your whole heart.
14 Dia nirahin’ ny mpanapaka rehetra Jehody, zanak’ i Netania, zanak’ i Selemia, zanak’ i Kosy, ho any amin’ i Baroka hanao hoe: Ento eny an-tananao ny horonan-taratasy, ilay novakinao teo anatrehan’ ny vahoaka, ka mankanesa atỳ. Dia nentin’ i Baroka, zanak’ i Neria, teny an-tànany ny horonan-taratasy, ka dia nankany aminy izy.
And I will appear to you:
15 Ary hoy izy Ireo taminy: Mipetraha ary, ka vakio eto anatrehanay. Dia novakin’ i Baroka teo anatrehany.
whereas you said, The Lord has appointed for us prophets in Babylon:
16 Ary rehefa reny ny teny rehetra, dia nifampijerijery tamin-tahotra izy, ka hoy izy tamin’ i Baroka: Tsy maintsy holazainay amin’ ny mpanjaka izany teny rehetra izany.
17 Ary Baroka dia nadininy hoe: Lazao aminay ny nanoratanao izao teny rehetra izao avy tamin’ ny vavany.
18 Dia hoy Baroka taminy: Ny vavany no nanonona izany teny rehetra izany tamiko, ka dia nosoratako an-taratasy tamin’ ny ranomainty.
19 Dia hoy ny mpanapaka tamin’ i Baroka: Mandehana, ka miere ianao sy Jeremia, ary aoka tsy hisy olona hahita izay itoeranareo.
20 Dia niditra tao amin’ ny mpanjaka tao amin’ ny kianja izy ireo (nefa ny horonan-taratasy efa napetrany tao amin’ ny efi-tranon’ i Elisama mpanoratra), ary nambarany teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka ny teny rehetra.
21 Ary nirahin’ ny mpanjaka Jehody haka ilay horonan-taratasy, dia nalainy tao amin’ ny efi-tranon’ i Elisama mpanoratra iny. Ary dia novakin’ i Jehody teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka sy ny mpanapaka rehetra izay nitsangana teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka izany.
Thus says the Lord concerning Achiab, and concerning Sedekias; Behold, I [will] deliver them into the hands of the king of Babylon; and he shall strike them in your sight.
22 Ary ny mpanjaka nipetraka tao an-trano ririnina tamin’ ny volana fahasivy, sady nisy afo nirehitra teo am-patana teo anoloany.
And they shall make of them a curse in all the captivity of Juda in Babylon, saying, The Lord do to you as he did to Sedekias, and as he did to Achiab, whom the king of Babylon fried in the fire;
23 Ary nony efa namaky toko telo na efatra Jehody, dia notapatapahin’ ny mpanjaka tamin’ ny antsipika ny horonan-taratasy ka natsipitsipiny teo anaty afo teo am-patana, mandra-pahalevon’ ny afo azy rehetra teo am-patana.
because of the iniquity which they wrought in Israel, and [because] they committed adultery with the wives of their fellow-citizens; and spoke a word in my name, which I did not command them [to speak], and I am witness, says the Lord.
24 Nefa ny natahotra akory ireo na nandriatra ny fitafiany, na ny mpanjaka, na ny mpanompony rehetra, izay efa nandre izany teny rehetra izany.
And to Samaeas the Aelamite you shall say,
25 Ary na dia efa nifona tamin’ ny mpanjaka aza Elnatana sy Delaia ary Gemaria, mba tsy handoro ny horonan-taratasy, dia tsy nety nihaino azy izy.
I sent you not in my name: and to Sophonias the priest the son of Maasaeas say you,
26 Ary ny mpanjaka nandidy an’ i Jeremeia, zanak’ andriana, sy Seraia, zanak’ i Azriela, ary Selemia, zanak’ i Abdela, hisambotra an’ i Baroka mpanoratra sy Jeremia mpaminany; fa nafenin’ i Jehovah izy roa lahy.
The Lord has made you priest in the place of Jodae the priest, to be ruler in the house of the Lord over every prophet, and to every madman, and you shall put them in prison, and into the dungeon.
27 Dia tonga tamin’ i Jeremia ny tenin’ i Jehovah, taorian’ ny nandoroan’ ny mpanjaka ny horonan-taratasy sy ny teny izay nosoratan’ i Baroka avy tamin’ ny vavan’ i Jeremia, nanao hoe:
And now therefore have you reviled together Jeremias of Anathoth, who prophesied to you?
28 Makà horonan-taratasy hafa koa indray ianao, ka soraty aminy ilay teny rehetra tamin’ ny horonan-taratasy teo, dia ilay nodoran’ i Joiakima, mpanjakan’ ny Joda.
Did he not send for this purpose? for in the course of this month he sent to you to Babylon, saying, It is far off: build you houses, and inhabit [them]; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
29 Ary ny amin’ i Joiakima, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, dia holazainao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Hianao efa nandoro iny horonan-taratasy iny ka nanao hoe: Ahoana no nanoratanao tamin’ iny hoe: Ho avy tokoa ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona ka handrava ity tany ity sy hahalany ritra ny olona mbamin’ ny biby eto?
And Sophonias read the book in the ears of Jeremias.
30 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah ny amin’ i Joiakima, mpanjakan’ ny Joda: Tsy hanana fara handimby eo amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ i Davida izy; ary ny fatiny dia hariana ka hasian’ ny hainandro amin’ ny antoandro ary ny fanala amin’ ny alina.
Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying,
31 Ary hampijaliko izy mbamin’ ny taranany sy ny mpanompony noho ny helony; ary havoko mihatra aminy sy amin’ ny mponina any Jerosalema ary amin’ ny lehilahy amin’ ny Joda ny loza rehetra izay nolazaiko hatao aminy, fa tsy nohenoiny.
Send to the captivity, saying, Thus says the Lord concerning Samaeas the Aelamite, Since Samaeas has prophesied to you, and I sent him not, and he has made you to trust in iniquity,
32 Ary Jeremia dia naka horonan-taratasy hafa koa, ka natolony an’ i Baroka mpanoratra, zanak’ i Neria, ary izy nanoratra tao avy tamin’ ny vavan’ i Jeremia ny teny rehetra izay tao amin’ ilay horonan-taratasy nodoran’ i Joiakima, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, tamin’ ny afo; sady nampiany teny maro tahaka ireny koa aza.
therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I will visit Samaeas, and his family: and there shall not be a man of them in the midst of you to see the good which I will do to you: they shall not see [it].
