Jeremia 21
1 Ty tsara’ Iehovà am’Iirmeà, ie nirahe’ i Tsidkià ama’e t’i Paskore ana’ i Malkià naho i Tsefanià ana’ i Maaseia mpisoroñe nanao ama’e ty hoe:
The word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur the son of Malchijah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, saying,
2 Ehe, mihalalia ho anay am’ Iehovà; amy te maname aly aman-tika t’i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele; hera hitoloñe ho antika t’Iehovà manahake i hene fitoloña’e fanjaka rezay, hampihakañe aze aman-tika.
“Please inquire of Yahweh for us; for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon makes war against us. Perhaps Yahweh will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may withdraw from us.”
3 Le hoe t’Iirmeà am’ iereo: Ty hoe ty ho saontsie’ areo amy Tsidkià:
Then Jeremiah said to them, “Tell Zedekiah:
4 Hoe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele: Inao! hafoteko o fialiañe ampità’ areoo, o fialia’ areo amy mpanjaka’ i Baveleio, naho amo nte-Kasdy mamalañe anahareo alafe’ o kijolioo, fa hatontoko an-drova atoy iereo.
‘Yahweh, the God of Israel says, “Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans who besiege you outside the walls; and I will gather them into the middle of this city.
5 Le Izaho avao ty hialy ama’ areo am-pità’ natorakìtsy naho an-tsirañe maozatse, naho an-kaboseke mileveleve, vaho am-pifombo miforoforo.
I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation.
6 Le ho lafaeko o mpimone’ ty rova toio, ndra ondaty ndra biby; hampihomahe’ ty angorosy jabajaba.
I will strike the inhabitants of this city, both man and animal. They will die of a great pestilence.
7 Ie heneke, hoe t’Iehovà, le haseseko am-pità’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele naho am-pità’ o rafelahi’eo, naho am-pità’ o mipay ty fiai’eo t’i Tsidkià mpanjaka’Iehodà naho o mpitoro’eo, naho ze ondati’ an-drova atoy sinisa’ i angorosiy naho i fibaray, naho i hasalikoañey; vaho ho lafae’e an-kasiom-pibara, le tsy hihevea’e, tsy hiferenaiña’e, vaho tsy hitretreza’e.
Afterward,” says Yahweh, “I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, his servants, and the people, even those who are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life. He will strike them with the edge of the sword. He will not spare them, have pity, or have mercy.”’
8 Le hoe ty hatao’o am’ondaty retoa: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Hehe te apoko aolo’ areo eo ty lalan-kaveloñe naho ty lalam-pikoromahañe.
“You shall say to this people, ‘Yahweh says: “Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.
9 Ze tambatse an-drova atoy ho vonoe’ ty fibara naho ty kerè, vaho ty angorosy; fe ho veloñe ze miakatse, miambane amo nte-Kasdy mañarikatok’ anahareoo, le ho tamben-ali’e ty fiai’e.
He who remains in this city will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, but he who goes out and passes over to the Chaldeans who besiege you, he will live, and he will escape with his life.
10 Fe nampiatrefeko ami’ty rova toy ty tareheko ho hekoheko fa tsy hasoa, hoe t’Iehovà; ie hatolotse am-pità’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveley, vaho ho forototoe’e amañ’afo.
For I have set my face on this city for evil, and not for good,” says Yahweh. “It will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire.”’
11 Le i anjombam-panjaka’ Iehodày, janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà;
“Concerning the house of the king of Judah, hear Yahweh’s word:
12 Ry anjomba’ i Davide, hoe t’Iehovà: Ano ty hatò boak’andro, vaho avotsoro am-pità’ ty mpamorekeke i nikamereñey, tsy mone hionjoñe hoe afo ty habosehako, hamorototoako tsy ho lefe vonoeñe, ty amo haloloam-pitoloña’ areoo.
House of David, Yahweh says, ‘Execute justice in the morning, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my wrath go out like fire, and burn so that no one can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
13 Hehe te miatrek’azo raho ry mpimoneñe am-bavatane ao, hoe t’ie vato a montoñe ey, hoe t’Iehovà: amy ty fatao’ areo ty hoe: Ia ty hizotso haname anay? ndra ia ty himoak’ añ-akiba’ay atoa.
Behold, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley, and of the rock of the plain,’ says Yahweh. ‘You that say, “Who would come down against us?” or, “Who would enter into our homes?”
14 Toe ho liloveko ty amo vokam-pitoloña’ areoo, hoe t’Iehovà; naho hamiañako afo i ala’ey, vaho fonga ho tomontoñe ze mañohok’ aze.
I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings,’ says Yahweh; ‘and I will kindle a fire in her forest, and it will devour all that is around her.’”
