Jeremia 44

1 Ny teny izay tonga tamin’ i Jeremia ho amin’ ny Jiosy rehetra izay nonina tany amin’ ny tany Egypta, dia izay nonina tao Migdola sy Tapanesa sy Memfisa, ary tany amin’ ny tany Patrosa, nanao hoe:

The word that came to Jeremias, concerning all the Jews that dwelt in the land of Egypt, dwelling in Magdal, and in Taphnis, and in Memphis, and in the land of Phatures, saying:

2 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Hianareo efa nahita ny loza rehetra izay nataoko nihatra tamin’ i Jerosalema sy ny tanànan’ ny Joda rehetra; ary, indro, efa tany lao ireo ankehitriny, ka tsy misy olona monina intsony ao aminy,

Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: You have seen all this evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Juda: and behold they are desolate this day, and there is not an inhabitant in them:

3 noho ny ratsy nataony hampahatezitra Ahy tamin’ ny nandehanany handoro ditin-kazo manitra sy hanompo andriamani-kafa izay tsy fantany, na iza, na ianareo, na ny razanareo.

Because of the wickedness which they have committed, to provoke me to wrath, and to go and offer sacrifice, and worship other gods, which neither they, nor you, nor your fathers knew.

4 Ary naniraka ny mpaminany mpanompoko rehetra taminareo Aho, eny, nifoha maraina koa Aho ka naniraka azy hanao hoe: Masìna ianareo, aza manao izany fahavetavetana halako izany.

And I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising early, and sending, and saying: Do not commit this abominable thing, which I hate.

5 Nefa tsy nihaino izy na nanongilana ny sofiny hialany amin’ ny haratsiany tsy handoro ditin-kazo manitra ho an’ andriamani-kafa.

But they heard not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their evil ways, and not to sacrifice to strange gods.

6 Ka dia naidina ny fahavinirako sy ny fahatezerako, eny, nandoro ny tanànan’ ny Joda, sy ny teny amin’ ny lalamben’ i Jerosalema izany, ka dia rava sy lao ireny tahaka ny amin’ izao anio izao.

Wherefore my indignation and my fury was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem: and they are turned to desolation and waste, as at this day.

7 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro, dia Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Ahoana no anaovanareo izao ratsy lehibe singotry ny ainareo izao, haharingana ny lehilahy sy ny vehivavy, ny ankizy madinika sy ny zaza minono ao amin’ ny Joda tsy hahamisy miangana anareo,

And now thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Why do you commit this great evil against your own souls, that there should die of you man and woman, child and suckling out of the midst of Juda, and no remnant should be left you:

8 noho ny ampahatezeranareo Ahy amin’ ny asan’ ny tananareo sy amin’ ny andoroana ditin-kazo manitra ho an’ andriamani-kafa any amin’ ny tany Egypta izay alehanareo hivahiniana, mba haharingana anareo ka hahatonga anareo ho fanozonana sy ho fandatsa any amin’ ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany?

In that you provoke me to wrath with the works of your hands, by sacrificing to other gods in the land of Egypt, into which you are come to dwell there: and that you should perish, and be a curse, and a reproach to all the nations of the earth?

9 Moa hadinonareo va ny ratsy nataon’ ny razanareo sy ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda sy ny vadiny ary ny tenanareo sy ny vadinareo, dia izay nataony tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Joda sy teny amin’ ny lalamben’ i Jerosalema?

Have you forgotten the evils of your fathers, and the evils of the kings of Juda, and the evils of their wives, and your evils, and the evils of your wives, that they have done in the land of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem?

10 Tsy mbola torotoro fo izy na dia mandraka androany aza sady tsy natahotra na nandeha araka ny lalàko sy ny didiko, izay napetrako teo anoloanareo sy teo anoloan’ ny razanareo.

They are not cleansed even to this day: neither have they feared, nor walked in the law of the Lord, nor in my commandments, which I set before you and your fathers.

11 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Indro, hanandrina anareo Aho hahatonga loza haharingana ny Joda rehetra.

Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will set my face upon you for evil: and I will destroy all Juda.

12 Ary halaiko ny sisa amin’ ny Joda, izay nikiry hankany amin’ ny tany Egypta hivahiny any, ka ho lany ritra izy rehetra; any amin’ ny tany Egypta no hahalavoany, samy ho ringan’ ny sabatra sy ny mosary, eny, na ny kely na ny lehibe dia samy ho fatin-tsabatra sy mosary izy rehetra ka ho tonga fianianana sy figagana sy fanozonana ary fandatsa.

And I will take the remnant of Juda that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt, and to dwell there: and they shall be all consumed in the land of Egypt: they shall fall by the sword, and by the famine: and they shall be consumed from the least even to the greatest, by the sword, and by the famine shall they die: and they shall be for an execration, and for a wonder, and for a curse, and for a reproach.

13 Fa hovaliako izay monina any amin’ ny tany Egypta, toy ny namaliako an’ i Jerosalema, dia amin’ ny sabatra sy ny mosary ary ny areti-mandringana.

And I will visit them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have visited Jerusalem by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence.

14 Ary na sisa amin’ ny Joda izay lasa nivahiny tany Egypta dia tsy hisy ho afa-mandositra ho tafaverina any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Joda, izay niriny hiverenana mba honenany, afa-tsy izay vitsy sendra afa-mandositra ihany.

And there shall be none that shall escape, and remain of the remnant of the Jews that are gone to sojourn in the land of Egypt: and that shall return into the land of Juda, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there: there shall none return but they that shall flee.

15 Ary ny lehilahy rehetra, izay nahalala fa ny vadiny efa nandoro ditin-kazo manitra ho an’ andriamani-kafa, sy ny vehivavy rehetra izay nitsangana teo, dia vahoaka be dia be, ary ny olona rehetra izay nonina tany amin’ ny tany Egypta, tao Patrosa, dia namaly an’ i Jeremia hoe:

Then all the men that knew that their wives sacrificed to other gods: and all the women of whom there stood by a great multitude, and all the people of them that dwelt in the land of Egypt in Phatures, answered Jeremias, saying:

16 Raha ny amin’ ilay teny voalazanao taminay tamin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah, dia tsy hihaino anao izahay.

As for the word which thou hast spoken to us in the name of the Lord, we will not hearken to thee:

17 Fa hataonay tokoa ny teny rehetra izay naloaky ny vavanay, dia ny handoro ditin-kazo manitra ho an’ ny mpanjakavavin’ ny lanitra sy ny hanidina fanatitra aidina ho azy, toy ny efa nataonay sy ny razanay sy ny mpanjakanay ary ny mpanapaka anay tany amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Joda sy teny amin’ ny lalamben’ i Jerosalema; fa fahizany dia voky hanina izahay sady nambinina ary tsy nahita loza.

But we will certainly do every word that shall proceed out of our own mouth, to sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we and our fathers have done, our kings, and our princes in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem: and we were filled with bread, and it was well with us, and we saw no evil.

18 Fa hatrizay nitsaharanay tsy nandoro ditin-kazo manitra ho an’ ny mpanjakavavin’ ny lanitra na nanidina fanatitra aidina ho azy izay, dia saiky tsy nanana na inona na inona akory izahay sady ringan’ ny sabatra sy ny mosary.

But since we left off to offer sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword, and by famine.

19 Ary raha nandoro ditin-kazo manitra ho an’ ny mpanjakavavin’ ny lanitra izahay sy nanidina fanatitra aidina ho azy, moa tsy fantatry ny vadinay va ny nanaovanay mofo hasiana ny sariny sy ny nanidinanay fanatitra aidina ho azy?

And if we offer sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and pour out drink offerings to her: did we make cakes to worship her, to pour out drink offerings to her, without our husbands?

20 Ary hoy Jeremia tamin’ ny olona rehetra, na ny lehilahy na ny vehivavy, dia ny olona rehetra izay efa namaly azy:

And Jeremias spoke to all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying:

21 Ny nandoroanareo ditin-kazo manitra tany an-tanànan’ ny Joda sy tany an-dalamben’ i Jerosalema, dia ianareo sy ny razanareo sy ny mpanjakanareo sy ny mpanapaka anareo mbamin’ ny vahoaka, moa tsy hotsarovan’ i Jehovah va izany, ary tsy tao an-tsainy va?

Was it not the sacrifice that you offered in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and Sour fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, which the Lord hath remembered, and hath it not entered into his heart?

22 Ka dia tsy nahalefitra intsony Jehovah noho ny faharatsian’ ny nataonareo sy noho ny fahavetavetana izay nataonareo; koa izany no nanaovana ny taninareo ho lao sy ho figagana ary ho fanozonana, ka tsy misy mponina, tahaka ny amin’ izao anio izao.

So that the Lord could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which you have committed: therefore your land is become a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.

23 Noho ny nandoroanareo ditin-kazo manitra sy ny nanotanareo tamin’ i Jehovah, fa tsy nihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah, na nandeha araka ny lalàny sy ny didiny ary ny teny vavolombelony ianareo, dia izany no nahatonga izao loza izao taminareo tahaka ny amin’ izao anio izao,

Because you have sacrificed to idols, and have sinned against the Lord: and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord, and have not walked in his law, and in his commandments, and in his testimonies: therefore are these evils come upon you, as at this day.

24 Ary hoy koa Jeremia tamin’ ny olona rehetra sy tamin’ ny vehivavy rehetra: Mihainoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah, ry Joda rehetra, izay atỳ amin’ ny tany Egypta:

And Jeremias said to all the people, and to all the women: Hear ye the word of the Lord, all Juda, you that dwell in the land of Egypt:

25 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Hianareo sy ny vadinareo samy niteny tamin’ ny vavanareo sady nanatanteraka tamin’ ny tananareo ka nanao hoe: Hanefa tokoa izay efa nivoadianay izahay ka handoro ditin-kazo manitra ho an’ ny mpanjakavavin’ ny lanitra sy hanidina fanatitra aidina ho azy; eny, hefainareo tokoa ny voadinareo sady hataonareo tanteraka.

Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, saying: You and your wives have spoken with your mouth, and fulfilled with your hands, saying: Let us perform our vows which we have made, to offer sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her: you have fulfilled your vows, and have performed them indeed.

26 Koa henoinareo ny tenin’ i Jehovah, ry Joda rehetra, izay monina atỳ amin’ ny tany Egypta: Indro Aho efa nianiana tamin’ ny anarako lehibe, hoy Jehovah, fa tsy hotononin’ ny vavan’ ny lehilahy amin’ ny Joda eran’ ny tany Egypta intsony ny anarako hanao hoe: Raha velona koa Jehovah Tompo.

Therefore hear ye the word of the Lord, all Juda, you that dwell in the land of Egypt: Behold I have sworn by my great name, saith the Lord: that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Juda, in the land of Egypt, saying: The Lord God liveth.

27 Indro, miambina anareo Aho hahatonga loza, fa tsy soa; ary ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Joda, izay atỳ amin’ ny tany Egypta, dia ho ringan’ ny sabatra sy ny mosary mandra-pahalany ritrany.

Behold I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Juda that are in the land of Egypt, shall be consumed, by the sword, and by famine, till there be an end of them.

28 Ary izay afa-mandositra ny sabatra dia ho tafaverina avy atỳ amin’ ny tany Egypta ho any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Joda, ho vitsy foana anefa ireny; ary ny sisa amin’ ny Joda rehetra izay mankany amin’ ny tany Egypta hivahiny any dia hahafantatra izay ho tò teny, na ho Izaho, na ho izy.

And a few men that shall flee from the sword, shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Juda: and all the remnant of Juda that are gone into the land of Egypt to dwell there, shall know whose word shall stand, mine, or theirs.

29 Ary izao no famantarana ho anareo, hoy Jehovah, fa hovaliako eto amin’ ity tany ity ianareo, mba hahafantaranareo fa tò tokoa ny teniko hahatonga loza aminareo:

And this shall be a sign to you, saith the Lord, that I will punish you in this place: that you may know that my words shall be accomplished indeed against you for evil.

30 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, Farao-hofra, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, hatolotro eo an-tànan’ ny fahavalony sy eo an-tànan’ izay miady ny ainy, toy ny efa nanolorako an’ i Zedekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, ho eo an-tànan’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, izay fahavalony nitady ny ainy.

Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will deliver Pharao Ephree king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life: as I delivered Sedecias king of Juda into the hand of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon his enemy, and that sought his life.
