Jeremia 43
1 Ary rehefa tapitra voalazan’ i Jeremia tamin’ ny vahoaka rehetra izany teny rehetra avy tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny izany, izay nanirahan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra azy holazaina aminy,
After Jeremiah finished telling everyone all that the Lord their God had send him to say,
2 dia niteny Azaria, zanak’ i Hosaia, sy Johanana, zanak’ i Karea, mbamin’ ny olona mpirehareha rehetra ka niteny tamin’ i Jeremia hoe: Mandainga ianao; fa tsy naniraka anao Jehovah Andriamanitsika hilaza hoe: Aza mandeha hivahiny any Egypta;
Azariah son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and all the proud and rebellious men told Jeremiah, “You're lying! The Lord our God hasn't sent you to tell us, ‘You are not to go and live in Egypt.’
3 fa Baroka, zanak’ i Neria, no nanome fo anao hamely anay mba hanolotra anay ho eo an-tànan’ ny Kaldeana hahafaty anay sy hahalasa anay ho babo any Babylona.
No, it's Baruch son of Neriah who's turned you against us in order to hand us over to the Babylonians so they can kill us or exile us to Babylon!”
4 Ary Johanana, zanak’ i Karea, sy ny mpifehy ny miaramila rehetra ary ny vahoaka rehetra dia tsy nihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah ny amin’ ny honenany ao amin’ ny tanin’ ny Joda.
So Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders refused to obey the Lord's command to stay in the land of Judah.
5 Fa Johanana, zanak’ i Karea, sy ny mpifehy ny miaramila rehetra dia nitondra ny sisa rehetra tamin’ ny Joda, izay niverina avy tany amin’ ny firenena rehetra nandroahana azy honina ao amin’ ny tanin’ ny Joda,
Instead, Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders took with them all who were left of the people of Judah, those who had returned to the country from all the nations where they had been scattered.
6 dia ny lehilahy sy ny zaza amim-behivavy sy ny vehivavy zanak’ andriana ary ny olona rehetra izay navelan’ i Nebozaradana, lehiben’ ny mpiambina, tao amin’ i Gedalia, zanak’ i Ahikama, zanak’ i Safana, sy tao amin’ i Jeremia mpaminany sy Baroka, zanak’ i Neria
These included men, women, and children, the king's daughters, and everyone Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard had allowed to remain with Gedaliah, as well as Jeremiah and Baruch.
7 ka dia nankany amin’ ny tany Egypta izy ireny, fa tsy nihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah, ary dia tonga hatrany Tapanesa.
They went to Egypt because they refused to obey the Lord's command. They went all the way to Tahpanhes.
8 Dia tonga tamin’ i Jeremia tao Tapanesa ny tenin’ i Jehovah hoe:
A message from Lord came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes:
9 Mitondrà vato lehibe eny an-tananao, ka afeno ao amin’ ny feta ao amin’ ny gorodona taila, izay eo akaikin’ ny vavahady amin’ ny tranon’ i Farao ao Tapanesa, eo imason’ ny lehilahy amin’ ny Joda,
As the people of Judah watch, get some large stones and set them into the cement of the brick pavement in the entrance way to Pharaoh's palace at Tahpanhes.
10 ka lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Indro Aho haniraka haka an’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, mpanompoko, ka haoriko amin’ ireto vato nafeniko ireto ny seza fiandrianany; ary hamelatra ny lambany tsara tarehy hatao alokaloka eo amboniny izy.
Tell them that this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I'm going to send for my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bring him here. I will place his throne over these stones that I have set into the pavement, and he will spread out his royal tent over them.
11 Eny, ho avy izy hamely ny tany Egypta, ka izay ho amin’ ny areti-mandringana dia ho amin’ ny areti-mandringana, ary izay ho amin’ ny fahababoana dia ho amin’ ny fahababoana, ary izay ho amin’ ny sabatra dia ho amin’ ny sabatra.
He will come and attack Egypt, bringing death to those destined to die, imprisonment to those destined to be imprisoned, and the sword to those destined to be killed by the sword.
12 Ary handrehitra afo ao amin’ ny tranon’ ny andriamanitr’ i Egypta Aho, ka dia hodorany sy hobaboiny ireo, ary hitafy ny tany Egypta izy toy ny fitafin’ ny mpiandry ondry ny lambany; ary hiala any amin’ ny fiadanana izy.
I will set fire to the temples of the gods of Egypt. Nebuchadnezzar will burn them and loot their idols. He will pick the land of Egypt clean like a shepherd picks his cloak clean of fleas, and he will leave unharmed.
13 Ary hotorotoroiny ny tsangam-baton-tsampy ao Beti-semesy, izay any amin’ ny tany Egypta; ary hodorany amin’ ny afo ny tranon’ ny andriamanitr’ i Egypta.
He will knock down the sacred pillars of the temple of the sun in Egypt, and he will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt.
