< Jeremia 26 >

1 Ie tam-baloham-pifehea’ Iehoiakime ana’ Iosia, mpanjaka’ Iehodà, le niheo eo ty tsara’ Iehovà manao ty hoe:
Soon after Jehoiakim became the king of Judah, Yahweh gave [me] this message:
2 Hoe t’Iehovà: Mijohaña an-kiririsan’anjomba’Iehovà eo vaho tseizo amo rova’ Iehodà iaby miheo mb’eo hitalaho añ’anjomba’ Iehovào, ze hene entañe lilieko azo hitaroñañe; leo tsara raike tsy hapo’o.
“This is what [I], Yahweh, am telling you: Stand in the courtyard [in front] of my temple, and speak to all [the people from] the various towns in Judah who come there to worship me. Tell them everything that I tell you; do not omit anything.
3 Hera hañaoñe iereo, songa hiamboho amo sata rati’eo; soa te hihahak’ amy hekoheko nisafirieko hanoeñe am’ iereo ty amo haloloam-pitoloña’ iareooy.
[If you do tell them everything], perhaps they will pay attention, and each one of them will turn away from his evil behavior. Then I will change my mind, and not cause them to experience the disaster that I was planning to cause them to experience because of the evil things that they have done.
4 Le hoe ty hanoa’o: Hoe t’Iehovà: Aa naho tsy mijanjiñe ahy, hañavelo amy Hàke tinaroko añatrefa’ areoy,
Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh says: I sent to you the prophets who serve me, to tell you what you should do. I sent them to you many times, but you have not paid attention to what they said. If you will not pay attention to what I say and do not obey the message that I have given to you, and if you do not pay attention to what the prophets say,
5 hitsen­dreñe i saontsi’ o mpitoky mpitoroko niraheko ama’ areo, nampañampitsoeñe naho niraheñeo, fe tsy hinao’ areoy;
6 aa le hampanahafeko amy Silò ty anjomba toy, vaho hanoeko fatse amy ze kila fifeheañe an-tane atoy ty rova toy.
I will destroy this temple like I destroyed Shiloh, [the place where the Sacred Tent was put]. And I will cause Jerusalem to be a place whose name [people in] every nation on the earth will say when they curse someone.’”
7 Jinanji’ o mpisoroñeo naho o mpitokio vaho ondaty iabio i tsara nisaontsie’ Iirmeà añ’anjomba’ Iehovày.
[When I did what Yahweh told me to do, ] the priests, the [false] prophets, and many [other] people listened to me as I told them that message outside the temple.
8 Ie fonga nihenefa’ Iirmeà taroñe i nandilia’ Iehovà aze ho saontsieñe am’ ondaty iabio, le namihiñe aze o mpisoroñeo naho o mpitokio vaho ze hene ondaty, nanao ty hoe: Toe havetrake irehe.
But as soon as I finished telling them everything that Yahweh had commanded me to say, they all seized me and said, “You must be executed!
9 Ino ty nitokie’o amy tahina’ Iehovày ty hoe: Hanahake i Silo ty anjomba toy, vaho hangoakoake ty rova toy, tsy ho amam-pimoneñe? Le hene niropak’ am’ Iieremea ondaty añ’anjomba’ Iehovào.
Why [RHQ] are you prophesying that this temple will be [destroyed] like Shiloh [was destroyed]? Why are you saying that this city will be destroyed, and that no one will live here [any more]? (OR, You should not be prophesying) [RHQ]” All the people surrounded me [as I stood] in [front of] the temple.
10 Ie nahajanjiñe i hoe zay o roandria’ Iehodào, le niakatse ty anjomba’ i mpanjakay vaho nimoak’ añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao; niambesatse ami’ty fizilihañe amy lalam-bey vao’ i anjomba’ Iehovày eo.
When the officials of Judah heard about all this [that was happening], they rushed from the palace and sat down at the gate of the temple named The New Gate, [to judge my case].
11 Le nisaontsy amo roandriañeo naho amo hene’ ondatio o mpisoroñeo naho o mpitokio, nanao ty hoe: Mañeva havetrake t’indaty tia; amy te nitokie’e raty ty rova toy, i jinanjin-dravembia’ areoy.
The priests and the [false] told the officials and the other people [who were there], “This man should be executed, because he has prophesied that this city [will be destroyed], and you yourselves [MTY] have heard him say that!”
12 Le nitaroñe’ Iirmeà o roandriañeo naho ze hene’ ondaty eo nanao ty hoe: Nirahe’ Iehovà iraho hamàtse ty anjom­ba toy naho ty rova toy amy tsara jinanji’ areo iabiy.
Then I replied to the officials and the other people, saying, “Yahweh sent me to prophesy all the things that you heard me say about [what will happen to] this temple and this city.
13 Avantaño arè o sata’ areoo naho o fitoloña’ areoo, vaho haoño ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo; le hihahak’ amy hankàñe nitseiza’e t’Iehovà.
But if you change your behavior and stop sinning, and [start to] obey Yahweh our God, he will change his mind, and not cause you to experience the disasters that he said that he would send.
14 Fa naho izaho, heheke te am-pità’ areo; ano amako ze mete naho mahity am-pihaino’ areo.
As for me, I am not able to free myself from your grasp. [So you can] do to me whatever you want to do.
15 Fe mahafohina an-katò te ie añohofa’ areo loza, le ho lio-màliñe ama’ areo naho an-drova atoy vaho amo mpimone’eo; fa toe nirahe’ Iehovà ama’ areo iraho hivolañe i hene tsara zay an-dravembia’ areo ao.
[But you need to] know that if you kill me, you will be killing a man [SYN] who (is innocent/has not done anything wrong). And you and everyone else in this city will be guilty, because the truth is that it was Yahweh who sent me to speak every word that you have heard me say.”
16 Aa le hoe o roandriañeo naho ze hene’ ondaty amo mpisoroñeo naho amo mpitokio: Tsy mañeva ho vonoeñe ondatio; amy te nitaroñe aman-tika ami’ty tahina’Iehovà Andrianañaharen-tika.
Then the officials and the other people said to the priests and the [false] prophets, “This man does not deserve to be executed, because he has spoken to us the message [MTY] that Yahweh gave him!”
17 Niongak’ amy zao ty ila’ o androanavi’ i taneio vaho nisaontsy amy fivori’ ondatioy nanao ty hoe:
Then some of the elders stood up and spoke to all the people who were gathered [there].
18 Nitoky tañ’ andro’ i Kizkià mpanjaka’ Iehodà t’i Mika nte-Morasete vaho nitaroñe ty hoe amy ze hene ondati’ Iehodà: Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Ho rokafeñe hoe hatsake ty Tsione, naho ho kivotrivotry t’Ierosalaime, vaho hanahake o ankaboañe añ’alao ty vohi’ i anjombay
They said, “([Remember/Think about) what] Micah, [the prophet] from Moresheth [town], prophesied during the years that Hezekiah was the King of Judah. He told the people of Judah this: ‘This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: [Some day] Zion [Hill] will be plowed like fields [are plowed]; Jerusalem will become a heap of ruins. There will be a large clump/group of trees on top of the hill where the temple is now.’
19 Nañoho-doza ama’e hao ty Kizkia mpanjaka’ Iehodà naho Iehodà iaby? Te mone nañeveñe am’ Iehovà nihalaly ty fañisoha’ Iehovà, vaho nihahak’ amy fe-hohatse nitsarae’e am’ iereoy t’Iehovà? Aa kera hampivo­trahan-tika hankàñe o fiaintikañeo.
But did [RHQ] King Hezekiah or anyone else in Judah kill Micah [for saying that]? No! Instead, Hezekiah revered Yahweh, and pleaded that he would (act mercifully toward/not destroy) them. So, Yahweh changed his mind about causing them to experience the terrible disaster that he said he would send. And now [if we kill Jeremiah], we are going to cause ourselves to experience a terrible disaster!”
20 Teo ka t’indaty nitoky ami’ty tahina’ Iehovà, i Orià ana’ i Semaia, boak’e Kiriate Iearime; le nitokie’e fatse ty rova toy naho ty tane toy manahake i sinaontsi’ Iirmeà abikey;
[At that time, ] the son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-Jearim [city] was also prophesying/proclaiming messages [MTY] from Yahweh. He was predicting that the city and the rest of the land would experience the same disasters that I was predicting.
21 fa ie naha­tsanoñe o enta’eo t’Iehoiakime mpanjaka naho o fanalolahi’e iabio, naho o roandria’e iabio, le nipay hañoho doza ama’e i mpanjakay; fe nahajanjiñe izay t’i Oria le nihembañe vaho nivoratsake mb’e Mitsraime mb’ eo;
When King Jehoiakim and his army officers and officials heard what Uriah was saying, the king sent someone to kill Uriah. But Uriah heard about it, and became [very] afraid, and he (escaped/ran away) to Egypt.
22 le nampihitrife’ Iehoiakime mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo t’ indaty; i Elnatane ana’ i Akbore rekets’ ondaty tsy ampeampeo ty nimb’e Mitsraime añe;
Then King Jehoiakim sent Elnathan the son of Acbor along with several other men to Egypt.
23 le nendese’ iereo boake Mitsraime añe t’i Orià naho na­sese’ iareo am’ Iehoiakime mpanjaka; zinevo’e am-pibara vaho navo­ko­voko’e an-kibori’ o ana’ ondatio.
They captured Uriah and took him [back to Jerusalem] to King Jehoiakim. The king then [had a soldier] kill Uriah with a sword. Then they buried his corpse in a place where poor people are buried.
24 Fe nañimba Iirmeà ty fità’ i Ahi­kame ana’ i Safane, tsy nitolorañe am-pità’ondatio ho vonoeñe.
However, Ahikam the son of Shaphan defended me, and persuaded the officials not to allow [MTY] the mob to murder me.
