Jeremia 32
1 Niheo am’ Iirmeà amy taom-paha-folo’ i Tsedkià mpanjaka’ Iehodày, an-taom-paha-folo-valo-ambi’ i Nebokadnetsare, ty tsara’ Iehovà.
This is the Lord's message that came to Jeremiah in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah's reign, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign.
2 Ie amy zay namalavalañe Ierosalaime o lahin-defo’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveleio, vaho hinily an-kiririsa’ o mpigaritseo, añ’anjomba’ i mpanjaka’ Iehoday t’Iirmeà;
This was when the army of the king of Babylon was besieging Jerusalem. Jeremiah the prophet was imprisoned in the guard's courtyard, part of the king of Judah's palace.
3 amy te nagabe’ i Tsidkia, mpanjaka’ Iehodày, ao ami’ty hoe: Ino ty itokia’o ami’ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà: Inao! hatoloko am-pità’ ty mpanjaka’ i Bavele ty rova toy vaho ho tavane’e;
Zedekiah king of Judah had put him in prison, telling him: “Why do you have to prophesy like this? You say the Lord is saying, ‘Look, I'm going to hand over this city to the king of Babylon, and he will capture it.
4 naho tsy hipolititse am-pità’ o nte-Kasdio t’i Tsidkia mpanjaka’ Iehodà, te mone hasese am-pitàm-panjaka’ i Bavele ao, naho hisaontsy ama’e, falie am-palie, vaho hahaisake o fihaino’eo o fihaino’eo,
Zedekiah king of Judah won't escape from the Babylonians. He will be captured and taken to the king of Babylon to speak with him personally and see him face to face.
5 le ho tantalie’e mb’e Bavele mb’eo t’i Tsidkia, vaho hadok’ añe ampara’ te tiliheko, hoe t’Iehovà; le tsy hiraorao nahareo naho hialy amo nte-Kasdio.
He will take Zedekiah to Babylon, where he'll remain until I deal with him, declares the Lord. You won't be successful if you fight against the Babylonians.’”
6 Aa le hoe t’Iirmeà, Niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
Jeremiah answered, “The Lord gave me a message, saying:
7 Ingo homb’ ama’o mb’eo t’i Kanemeale, ana’ i Salome rahalahin-drae’o hanao ty hoe: Vilio ho azo ty tondako e Anatote añe; amy te azo ty zom-pijebañe hañavake aze.
Your cousin Hanamel, son of Shallum, is coming to tell you, ‘Why don't you buy my field in Anathoth because you have the right to redeem it and buy it?’
8 Aa le niheo amako t’i Kanemeale ana-drahalahin-draeko an-kiririsam-pigaritse ty amy tsara’ Iehovà nanao amako ty hoe: Ehe, kalò i tondako e Anatote aoy, an-tane’ i Beniaminey; amy te azo ty zom-pandova, le azo ty fijebañañe aze, ivilio ho azo. Ie amy zao, napotako te nitsarae’ Iehovà,
Just as the Lord had said, my cousin Hanamel arrived to see me in the guard's courtyard and asked me, ‘Please buy my field in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin because you have the right of family ownership to redeem it. You should buy it for yourself.’” This convinced me that this was a message from the Lord.
9 le viniliko amy Kanemeale ana-drahalahin-draekoy i tonda e Anatotey vaho linanjako ama’e ty drala’e, sekelem-bolafoty folo-fito’ amby.
So I bought the field in Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel. I weighed out seventeen shekels of silver to pay him.
10 Pinateko amy zao i takelakey le liniteko naho nikoike valolombeloñe vaho linanjako ama’e am-balantsy i volafotiy.
I signed the deed and sealed it, had it witnessed, and weighed out the silver using the scales.
11 Le rinambeko i takelam-pikaloañey, i linitey rekets’ o fañèo naho o fepè’eo naho i misokakey
Then I took the deed of sale, both the sealed original containing the terms and conditions, and the unsealed copy,
12 vaho natoloko amy Baroke ana’ i Nerià, ana’ i Makseià i takelam-pikaloañey am-pahaisaha’ i Kanemele ana-drahalahin-draekoy, naho añ’atrefa’ o valolombeloñe nanonia’ i takelam-pikaloañeio, vaho aolo’ ze hene nte-Iehodà niambesatse an-kiririsam-pigaritse eo.
and handed them to Baruch son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah. I did this in the presence of my cousin Hanamel, the witnesses who had signed the deed of sale, and all the people of Judah who were sitting there in the guard's courtyard.
13 Le nafantoko añatrefa’ iareo t’i Baroke ami’ty hoe:
I gave Baruch these instructions in front of them,
14 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, t’i Andrianañahare’ Israele: rambeso o takelam-pikaloañe retoy, o liniteo, naho o takelam-pikaloañe misokakeo, vaho apoho am-po sini-hara ao, hahareta’e andro maro.
“This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Put these deeds of sale, the sealed original and the open copy, in a clay jar so they can be kept safe for a long time.
15 Ami’ty nafè’ Iehovà’ i Màroy, t’i Andrianañahare’ Israele, te: Mbe hikaloañe naho handetahañe an-tane atoy indraike o anjombao, o tondao, vaho o tanem-baheo.
For this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: The time will come when once again houses, fields, and vineyards will be bought in this country.”
16 Aa naho fa natoloko amy Baroke ana’ i Nerià i takelam-pikaloañe rey, le nihalaly am’ Iehovà iraho ami’ty hoe:
After I had given the deed of sale to Baruch son of Neriah, I prayed to the Lord:
17 Eka, ry Talè, Iehovà! Toe nitsenè’o an-kaozara’o jabahinake naho am-pità’o natorakitsy i likerañey naho ty tane toy; tsy eo ty sarotse tsy lefe’o;
“Ah, Lord God! You created the heavens and the earth by your great strength and power. Nothing is too hard for you!
18 Ihe mpampiboake fiferenaiñañe ami’ty arivo naho mañondroke ty hakeon-droae añ’araña’ o anake manonjohi’ iareoo; ry Andriañahare ra’elahy naho maozatse, Iehovà’ i Màroy ty tahina’e;
You give your trustworthy love to thousands, but you punish the sins of the fathers the consequences affect their children too., Great and powerful God whose name is the Lord Almighty,
19 foloaingitrok’ am-pañeretañe, manjofak’ am-pitoloñañe; mibolanak’ amo sata’ ondaty iabio o fihaino’oo, songa hanambeza’o mira ami’ty vokam-pitoloña’e;
you are the one who is supremely wise and who does incredible things. You watch what everyone does, and you reward them according to the way they live and what their actions deserve.
20 ie nampipoha’o viloñe naho raha tsitantane an-tane’ Mitsraime añe, naho pake henane e Israele ao naho am’ondatio, vaho nahazoa’o Tahinañe, le ie henanekeo.
You carried out signs and miracles in Egypt, and you still do so today, both here in Israel and among all people everywhere. As a result you gained a great reputation, and this is still true today.
21 Nakare’o am-biloñe naho halatsañe boak’ an-tane Mitsraime añe ondati’oo, am-pitañe maozatse naho an-tsirañe natorakitsy vaho an-karevendreveñañe mampangebahebake;
You led your people Israel out of Egypt with signs and miracles, with your great power and strength that terrified people.
22 naho nitolora’o o tane atoio, i nifantà’o an-droae’ iareo hanolorañe iareoy, tane orikorihen-dronono naho tantele;
You gave them this land that you had promised to give their forefathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.
23 vaho nimoak’ ao iereo nandrambe aze; f’ie tsy nañaoñe ty fiarañanaña’o naho tsy nañavelo amo Fanoroa’oo; Leo raike ty nanoe’ iareo amo hene nililia’oo; aa le nampifetsaha’o o fonga hekoheko zao;
They came and took it over, but they didn't do what you said or follow your laws. They didn't do everything you ordered them to do, which is why you've brought all this disaster down on them.
24 heheke o tambohoo, fa nimoak’ an-drova atoy o hitavañe azeo; fa natolotse am-pità’ o nte-Kasdy mialy ama’eo ty rova toy; toe fa tondroke i tsinara’o rezay; le hehe te vazoho’o.
Look at the siege ramps piled up against the city to capture it! Through war and famine and disease, the city will be taken by the Babylonians who are attacking it. You can see that everything you said would happen has happened.
25 Fe hoe irehe tamako, ry Talè, Iehovà, Ikalò an-drala i tetekey, naho koiho ty valolombeloñe; le hehe fa natolotse am-pità’ o nte-Kasdio ty rova toy.
Yet, Lord God, you have told me, ‘Buy yourself the field with silver in front of witnesses, even though the city has been handed over to the Babylonians!’”
26 Niheo am’Iirmeà amy zao ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe;
Then Lord gave Jeremiah this message:
27 Ingo te Izaho Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ ze atao nofotse iaby, inoñe ty tsy ho lefeko?
Look! I am the Lord, the God of everyone. Is anything too hard for me to do?
28 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà: Inao! hatoloko am-pità’ o nte-Kasdio ty rova toy, naho am-pità’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele, ho tavane’e;
So this is what the Lord says: Listen! I'm going to hand over this city to the king of Babylon and the Babylonians, and they will capture it.
29 ho mb’ atoy o nte-Kasdy hialy ami’ty rova toio naho hamiañ’ afo ami’ty rova toy vaho ho forototoe’ iereo, rekets’ o anjomba fañenga’ iareo amy Baale an-tafo’e eo, ie nampidoañañ’ enga-rano amo ndrahare ila’eo hampiboseha’ iareo Ahy.
The Babylonians who are attacking the city are going to come and set fire to it. They will burn it down, including the houses belonging to the people who made me angry by burning incense to Baal on their rooftops, and by pouring out drink offerings in worship of other gods.
30 Toe nitolon-kaloloañe a’ masoko ao, boak’ami’ty naha-tora’e, o ana’ Israeleo naho o ana’ Iehodao, ie nitolom-pampibosek’ ahy ami’ty fitolom-pità’ iareo, hoe t’Iehovà.
From their earliest days all the people of Israel and of Judah have ever done has been evil in my sight. In fact all they've even done is to make me angry through their actions, declares the Lord.
31 Fa nikai-jaka ami’ty habosehako naho ami’ ty fifomboko boak’ ami’ty nañoreñañ’ aze pake henaneo ty rova toy, toly ndra ho sintoneko boak’ añatrefan-tareheko eo,
This city has been such a source of anger and frustration from the time it was built right up till now. So I'm going to get rid of it,
32 ty amo fonga haratia’ o ana’Israeleo naho o ana’ Iehodào, ze nanoe’ iereo hampibosek’ ahy; ie, o mpanjaka’ iareoo, o mpiaolo’ iareoo, o mpisoro’ iareoo naho o mpitoki’ iareoo naho ondati’ Iehodao vaho o mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo.
because of all the evil things the people of Israel and Judah did that made me angry—their kings, and officials, their priests and prophets, all of those living in Judah and Jerusalem, everyone
33 Ie nampitolihe’ iereo amako ty voho fa tsy ty tarehe; le ndra te nanareko, ie nañampitso naho nañòke, le tsy nañaoñe handrambesa’ iareo fañòhañe.
They have turned their backs on me. They wouldn't even look at me. Even though I kept on trying to teach them, they refused to listen or accept instruction.
34 Fe nado’ iareo amy anjomba tokaveñe ami’ty añarakoy o raha veta’ iareo naniva azeo.
They have put their disgusting idols in my Temple, making it unclean.
35 Mbore naore’ iereo o haboa’ i Baale am-bavatanen’ ana’ i Hinomeo, hampisorohañ’ amy Moleke o ana-dahi’ iareoo naho o anak’ ampela’ iareoo; ze tsy nandiliako vaho tsy nimoak’ am-pitsakoreako ao t’ie hanao i hativàñe zay; hampanan-kakeo Iehodà.
They have built pagan shrines to Baal in the Valley of Hinnom so they could sacrifice their sons and daughters by burning them in the fire. This is something I never commanded. I never even thought of such a thing—doing something so awful and making the people of Judah guilty of sin.
36 Ie amy zao, hoe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, Ty rova toy, ie atao’ areo ty hoe t’ie natolotse am-pità’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveley naho amy fibaray naho amy hasalikoañey vaho amy angorosiy;
Now about this city. You are correctly saying, “It's going be handed over to the king of Babylon through war and famine and disease.” However, this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says:
37 Inao! hatontoko amy ze hene fifeheañe nandroahako iareo ami’ty habosehako naho ami’ty fifomboko naho ami’ty fiforoforoako vaho hampoliko an-toetse atoy, hampimoneñako am-panintsiñañe;
I promise to gather my people from all the lands where I exiled them because they made me so very angry. I will bring them back here and they will live in safety.
38 le ho ondatiko iereo naho ho Andrianañahare’ iareo iraho;
They will be my people, and I will be their God.
39 naho hitolorako arofo tokañe naho lalañe raike, soa t’ie hañeveñe amako nainai’e; an-kasoa ho a iareo naho o ana’ iareo hanonjohio;
I will make sure they think the same way and act in harmony, so that they will always honor me so all will be good for them and their descendants.
40 naho hanoako fañina tsy ho modo, tsy hiambohoako, fa ho soaeko; vaho hampipohako fañeveñañe ty an-tro’ iareo ao tsy hiamboho ahy.
I will make an everlasting agreement with them: I'm never going to stop doing them good and I will help them to respect me so that they won't ever abandon me.
41 Eka, hirebehako naho hampiraoraoeko vaho ho volèko an-tanen-katò atoy añ-kaampon-troko naho an-kaliforam-piaiko.
I will be delighted to treat them well, and I will commit myself with the whole of my being to helping them to grow as a nation in this land.
42 Le hoe t’Iehovà: Hambañe amy nañendesako o hankàñe jabajaba rezao am’ ondaty retoa, ty hañandesako ze hene hasoa nampitamako.
This is what the Lord says: Just as certainly as I have brought this whole disaster down on my people, so I'm going to give to them all the good things I have promised.
43 Hikaloañe an-tane atoy o tetekeo, i atao’ areo ty hoe; Mangoakoakey, tsy ama’ ondaty tsy amam-biby; fa natolotse am-pità’ o nte-Kasdio.
Fields will once again be bought in this country that you're describing, saying, “It's been completely destroyed—no people or animals are left. It's been handed over to the Babylonians.”
44 Hivily tonda an-drala ondatio, hanokitse naho hamolitomboke takelam-panañan-tane, le hikaike valolombeloñe an-tane’ i Beniamine ao, naho am-paripari’ Ierosalaimeo, naho amo rova’ Iehodào, naho amo rova an-kaboañe añeo, naho amo rova am-bavataneo, vaho amo rova atimoo, amy te hampoliko ty fandrohiza’ iareo, hoe t’Iehovà.
People will buy fields with silver again, deeds will be signed, sealed, and witnessed. This will happen here in the land of Benjamin, in the areas surrounding Jerusalem, and in all the towns of Judah—including the towns of the hill country, the foothills, and the Negev—because I will bring the people back from exile, declares the Lord.
