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 has been to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who are dwelling in the land of Egypt—who are dwelling in Migdol, and in Tahpanhes, and in Noph, and in the land of Pathros—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 said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: You have seen all the calamity that I have brought in on Jerusalem, and on all the cities of Judah, and behold, they [are] a desolation to this day, and there is none dwelling 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 their wickedness that they have done, by provoking Me to anger, by going to make incense, by serving other gods, that they did not know, they, you, and your fathers.
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 send to you all My servants the prophets, rising early and sending, saying, Please do not do this abomination that I have hated—
5 Nefa tsy nihaino izy na nanongilana ny sofiny hialany amin’ ny haratsiany tsy handoro ditin-kazo manitra ho an’ andriamani-kafa.
and they have not listened nor inclined their ear to turn back from their wickedness, not to make incense to other 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.
and My fury is poured out, and My anger, and it burns in cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem, and they are for a ruin, for a desolation, 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 said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Why are you doing great evil to your own souls, to cut off man and woman, infant and suckling, from you, from the midst of Judah, so as not to leave a remnant to 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?
by provoking Me to anger by the works of your hands, by making incense to other gods in the land of Egypt, to where you are going to sojourn, so as to cut yourselves off, and so as to your being for a reviling and for a reproach among all 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 wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, that they have done in the land of Judah, and in 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 have not been humbled to this day, nor have they been afraid, nor have they walked in My law, and in My statutes, that I have set before you and before 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 said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Behold, I am setting My face against you for calamity, even to cut off all Judah,
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 have taken the remnant of Judah, who have set their faces to enter the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they have all been consumed in the land of Egypt; they fall by sword [and] are consumed by famine, from the least even to the greatest, they die by sword and by famine, and they have been for an execration, for an astonishment, and for a reviling, 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 have seen after those dwelling in the land of Egypt, as I saw after Jerusalem, with sword, with famine, and with 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 is not an escaped and remaining one of the remnant of Judah, who are entering into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, even to turn back to the land of Judah, to where they are lifting up their soul to return to dwell, for they do not turn back, except those escaping.”
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:
And they answer Jeremiah—all the men who are knowing that their wives are making incense to other gods, and all the women who are remaining, a great assembly, even all the people who are dwelling in the land of Egypt, in Pathros—saying:
16 Raha ny amin’ ilay teny voalazanao taminay tamin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah, dia tsy hihaino anao izahay.
“The word that you have spoken to us in the Name of YHWH—we are not listening to you;
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.
for we certainly do everything that has gone out of our mouth, to make incense to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out drink-offerings to her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our heads, in cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem, and—we are satisfied with bread, and we are well, and we have not seen calamity.
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.
And from the time we have ceased to make incense to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out drink-offerings to her, we have lacked all, and we have been consumed by 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 when we are making incense to the queen of the heavens, and pouring out drink-offerings to her—have we made cakes for her to idolize her, and 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 Jeremiah says to all the people, concerning the men and concerning the women, and concerning all the people who are answering him, 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?
“The incense that you made in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you, and your fathers, your kings, and your heads, and the people of the land, has YHWH not remembered it? Indeed, it comes up on 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.
And YHWH is not able to accept [you] anymore, because of the evil of your doings, because of the abominations that you have done, and your land is for a ruin, and for an astonishment, and for a reviling, without 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 that you have made incense, and because you have sinned against YHWH, and have not listened to the voice of YHWH, and have not walked in His law, and in His statutes, and in His testimonies, therefore this calamity has met 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 Jeremiah says to all the people, and to all the women, “Hear a word of YHWH, all Judah who [are] 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 spoke YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, saying, You and your wives both speak with your mouth, and with your hands have fulfilled, saying, We certainly execute our vows that we have vowed, to make incense to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out drink-offerings to her. You certainly establish your vows, and certainly execute your vows.
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 a word of YHWH, all Judah who are dwelling in the land of Egypt: Behold, I have sworn by My great Name, said YHWH, My Name is no longer proclaimed by the mouth of any man of Judah, saying, Lord YHWH lives—in all the land of Egypt.
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 am watching over them for calamity, and not for good, and all the men of Judah who [are] in the land of Egypt have been consumed by sword and by famine, until their consumption.
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 the escaped of the sword turn back out of the land of Egypt to the land of Judah, few in number, and all the remnant of Judah, who are coming into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, have known whose word is established, 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 [is] the sign to you—a declaration of YHWH—that I am seeing after you in this place, so that you know that My words are certainly established against you for calamity—
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 said YHWH: Behold, I am giving Pharaoh-Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of those seeking his life, as I have given Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and who is seeking his life.”
