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 which came to Jeremiah, against all the Jews who were dwelling in the land of Egypt, —who were 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, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Ye yourselves, saw all the calamity which I brought in upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah, —and there they are, a desolation this day, and there is not in them an inhabitant:
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 which they committed, provoking me to anger, by going to burn incense, to serve other gods, whom they had not known, they, ye nor 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.
yet I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, betimes sending them, saying, Do not, I pray you, 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 hearkened not neither inclined their ear, by turning from their wickedness, —so as not to burn 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.
Therefore were mine indignation and mine anger poured out, and a fire was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, —and they became waste and desolate, 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,
Now, therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh God of hosts God of Israel—Wherefore, are ye committing a great wickedness against your own lives, that ye should cut off from you man and woman child and suckling, out of the midst of Judah, —so that there should not be left you a remnant:
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 ye provoke me to anger by the works of your own hands, burning incense to other gods, in the land of Egypt, which ye have been entering to sojourn, —that ye should cut them off from you, and that ye should become a contempt and a reproach among 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 ye forgotten the wicked ways of your fathers and the wicked ways of the kings of Judah, and the wicked ways of his wives, and your own wicked ways, and the wicked ways of your own wives, —which they committed in the land of Judah, 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 have not been crushed, unto this day; neither have they been afraid, neither have they walked in my law, and in my statutes, which I 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, saith Yahweh of hosts God of Israel, Behold me! 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 will take the remnant of Judah who did set their faces to enter the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, in the land of Egypt, shall they fall by the sword, by famine, shall they be consumed, from the least even unto the greatest, by sword and by famine, shall they die, —so shall they become a curse, and an astonishment, and a contempt and 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 bring punishment upon them who are dwelling in the land of Egypt, just as I brought punishment upon Jerusalem, —by sword, 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 neither escape nor survival, unto the remnant of Judah who have been entering, to sojourn there into the land of Egypt, —that they should return to the land of Judah even when they are lifting up their soul to return to dwell there, for none shall return, saving fugitives.
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 who knew that their wives were burning incense to other gods, and all the women standing by, a great convocation, —with all the people who were dwelling in the land of Egypt in Pathros, made answer unto Jeremiah, saying:
16 Raha ny amin’ ilay teny voalazanao taminay tamin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah, dia tsy hihaino anao izahay.
As touching the word which thou hast spoken unto us, in the name of Yahweh we are not going to hearken unto 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, the whole thing that hath gone forth out of our own mouth, by burning incense to the queen of the heavens, and pouring out to her drink-offerings, just as we and our fathers, and our kings and our princes, did, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, then were we filled with bread and became prosperous, and calamity, saw we none;
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.
whereas, from the very time we ceased burning incense to the queen of the heavens and pouring out to her drink-offerings, we have lacked everything, —and by sword and by famine, have we been consumed.
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, though we are burning incense to the queen of the heavens and pouring out to her drink-offerings, is it, without our men that we have made to her sacrificial cakes as images of her and poured out to her, drink-offerings?
20 Ary hoy Jeremia tamin’ ny olona rehetra, na ny lehilahy na ny vehivavy, dia ny olona rehetra izay efa namaly azy:
Then spake Jeremiah unto all the people, —against the men and against the women, and against all the people who had been making any answer unto 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?
Was it not, the very incense which ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye and your fathers your kings and your princes and the people of the land, was it not those very things, that Yahweh did remember, and that came 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.
so that Yahweh could no longer forbear because of the wickedness of your doings, because of the abominations which ye committed, —and your land became a desolation, and an astonishment, and a contempt 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 ye burned incense, and that ye sinned against Yahweh and hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh, and, in his law and in his statutes and in his testimonies, did not walk, for this cause, did this calamity befall 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 said unto all the people, and unto all the women, —Hear ye the word of Yahweh, 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, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, saying, Ye and your wives, have both spoken with your mouth and with your hands, have ye fulfilled saying, We will, certainly perform, our vows which we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out to her drink-offerings: the women will certainly confirm, your vows, and, certainly perform, 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 ye the word of Yahweh, all Judah, who are dwelling in the land of Egypt, —Behold me! I have sworn by my great Name, Saith Yahweh, That my Name shall no more be invoked by the mouth of any man of Judah saying—By the life of My Lord, Yahweh 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 me! watching over them for calamity, and not for blessing, —so shall all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt, be consumed, by sword and by famine until 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.
Yet, the fugitives of the sword, shall certainly return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah men easily counted, —that all the remnant of Judah who are entering Egypt to sojourn there, may 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, to you, shall be the sign, Declareth Yahweh, that I am about to bring punishment upon you in this place, —that ye may know that my words shall, certainly stand 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, saith Yahweh, Behold me! delivering up Pharaoh-hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, yea into the hand of them who are seeking his life, —just as I delivered Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon his enemy, and one seeking his life.
