Jeremia 36
1 Ie amy faha-efa-tao’ Iehoiakime ana’ Iosia, mpanjaka’ Iehodày, le niheo am’ Iirmeà ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
When Jehoiakim had been the king of Judah for almost four years, Yahweh gave this message to me:
2 Mangalà boke-peleke le sokiro ao ze hene tsara nivolañako ty am’ Israele naho Iehodà vaho o hene fifeheañeo sikal’ amy andro nivolañeko ama’o faha’ Iosiay pake henanekeo.
“Get a scroll, and write on it the messages that I have given to you regarding Israel, Judah, and the other nations. Write all of the messages, starting from the time that I gave you the first message, when Josiah was the king, up until now.
3 Kera ho janjiñe’ ty anjomba’ Iehodà ze hene hankàñe nisafirieko hanoañe; ke sindre hibalintoa amo sata’ rati’eo ondatio, vaho hapoko ty hakeo’ iareo naho o tahi’ iareoo.
When the people of Judah hear [again] about all the disasters that I plan to cause them to experience, perhaps each one of them will repent. If they do that, I will be able to forgive them for the wrong/evil things that they have done.”
4 Aa le kinoi’ Iirmeà t’i Baroke ana’ i Nerià; vaho sinoki’ i Baroke am-boke-pelek’ ao boak’ am-palie’ Iirmeà ze hene tsara nitsara’ Iehovà ama’e.
[So] I summoned Baruch, the son of Neraiah. Then, as I dictated to him all the messages that Yahweh had spoken to me, he wrote them on a scroll.
5 Le hoe t’Iirmeà amy Baroke: sinebañe iraho tsy himoak’ añ’anjomba’ Iehovà ao;
Then I said to him, “I am not allowed to [leave here and] go to the temple.
6 akia arè, mamakia amy boke-peleke nanokira’o o tsara’ Iehovà boak’am-bavakooy, an-dravembia’ ondaty añ’anjomba’ Iehovà ao ami’ty androm-pililirañe; mbore vakio an-dravembia’ Iehoda miakatse o rova’eo iaby.
So, you go [to the temple] on the [next] day when the people are (fasting/abstaining from food), and read to them the messages from Yahweh that you wrote while I dictated them to you. Read them [aloud] to all the people [who are there, including] the people of Judah who come [there] from their towns.
7 Hera hibanabana soloho am’ Iehovà, naho songa hibalik’ amo sata-rati’eo; amy te miforoforo ty haviñera’ Iehovà naho ty fifomboa’e nitaroñeñe am’ ondaty retoa.
Perhaps they will turn from their evil behavior and request Yahweh [to act mercifully toward them]. [They must do that, ] because Yahweh is very angry with them and has threatened to punish them severely.”
8 Aa le nanoe’ i Baroke ana’ i Neria i hene nandilia’ Iirmeà mpitoky ama’ey, le vinaki’e amy bokey ty tsara’ Iehovà añ’anjomba’ Iehovà ao.
Baruch did what I told him to do. He [went to the temple and] read [to the people] all those messages from Yahweh.
9 Aa ie ami’ty volam-paha-sive’ i taom-paha-lime’ Iehoiakime ana’ Iosia mpanjaka’ Iehoday, le nambarañe fililirañe añatrefa’ Iehovà: naho nimb’ e Ierosalaime mb’eo ondati’ Ierosalaimeo naho ze hene boak’ amo rova’ Iehodao.
He did it in December on a day when their leaders had proclaimed that all the people in Jerusalem and the people who had come there from [other] towns in Judah should fast to [please/honor] Yahweh. [It was when] Jehoiakim had been king for almost five years.
10 Le vinaki’ i Baroke amy bokey o saontsi’ Iirmeào, añ’anjomba’ Iehovà, añ’efe’ i Gemaria ana’ i Safane mpanokitse, an-kiririsa ambone, amy fimoahan-Dalam-bey Vao’ i anjomba’ Iehovàiy, an-dravembia’ ze fonga ondaty.
Baruch read to all the people the messages [that he had written] on the scroll. [He read them while he was] in the temple, in the room where Gemariah stayed. He was the son of Shaphan, [who had previously been the king’s] secretary. That room was close to the upper courtyard [of the temple], near the entrance to the temple that is [called] the New Gate.
11 Aa ie jinanji’ i Mikaieho ana’ i Gemaria, ana’ i Safane ze hene tsara’ Iehovà boak’ amy bokey,
When Micaiah, who was the son of Gemariah and grandson of Shaphan, heard those messages from Yahweh,
12 le nizotso mb’ añ’ anjomba’ i mpanjakay mb’eo, añ’ efe’ o mpanokitseo; le heheke te hene niambesatse ao o roandriañeo— i Elisama, mpanokitse, naho Delaia ana’ i Semaià, naho i Elnatane ana i Akbore, naho i Gemaria, ana’ i Safane, naho i Tsidkia ana’ i Kananià, naho o roandriañe iabio.
he went down to the secretary’s room in the palace, where all the king’s officials were meeting. Elishama the [king’s] secretary [was there]. Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, Elnathan the son of Acbor, Gemariah, Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the [other] officials [of the king were also there].
13 Le tinaro’ i Mikaieho ze hene tsara jinanji’e amy Baroke, ie namaky i bokey an-dravembia’ ondatio.
When Micaiah told them about the messages that Baruch had been reading to the people,
14 Aa le nampihitrife’ o roandriañe iabio t’Iehodý ana’ i Netanià ana’ i Selemia, ana’ i Kosy, mb’ amy Baroke hanoa’e ty hoe: Endeso am-pità’o i peleke vinaki’o an-dravembia’ ondatioy, vaho mb’etoy. Aa le rinambe’ i Baroke ana’ i Neria am-pità’e amy zao i pelekey vaho nimb’ am’ iereo ao.
the officials sent Jehudi, who was the son of Nethaniah and grandson of Shelemiah and great-grandson of Cushi, to tell Baruch to come [and read the messages to them, also]. So Baruch took the scroll and went to them.
15 Le hoe iereo ama’e: Miambesara vaho ivakio an-dravembia’ay. Aa le vinaki’ i Baroke an-dravembia’ iareo.
They said to him, “Please sit down and read it [to us].” So Baruch did what they requested.
16 Ie amy zao, naho hene jinanji’ iereo i tsaray, le nifampitolik’ an-kahembañañe vaho nanao ty hoe amy Baroke: Tsy mete tsy hene taroñe’ay amy mpanjakay o tsara zao.
After they had heard all the messages, they were afraid. They looked at each other and [then] they said, “We must tell these messages to the king!”
17 Le nañontane i Baroke iereo, ty hoe, Ehe, isaontsio, akore ty nanokira’o o tsara iaby zao? boak’am-palie’e hao?
Then they asked Baruch, “How did you get this scroll? Did Jeremiah dictate to you all the messages on this scroll?”
18 Le hoe ty natoi’ i Baroke: Hene sinaontsi’e amako am-palie o tsara retoañe, vaho sinokiko an-drano-mainte amo bokeo.
Baruch replied, “[Yes], Jeremiah dictated them to me, and I wrote them with ink on this scroll.”
19 Le hoe o roandriañeo amy Baroke, Akia, mietaha, ihe naho Iirmeà, vaho ko apo’o ho fohi’ ondaty te aia.
Then the officials told Baruch, “You and Jeremiah must both hide. Do not tell anyone where you are!”
20 Aa le nimoak’ amy mpanjakay an-kiririsa’e ao iereo; fa nado’ iareo añ’efe’ i Elisama mpanokitse ao i pelekey; vaho tinaro’ iareo an-dravembia’ i mpanjakay i tsara iabiy.
They put the scroll in the room of Elishama, the king’s secretary. Then they went to the king, who was in the courtyard, and reported to him everything [that Baruch had read to them].
21 Aa le nampihitrife’ i mpanjakay t’Iehody hangalake i pelekey; le nalae’e añ’efe’ i Elisame mpanokitse ao naho vinaki’ Iehody an-dravembia’ i mpanjakay vaho an-dravembia’ o roandriañe iaby nijohañe marine i mpanjakaio.
Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll. Jehudi brought it from Elishama’s room and read it to the king, while all the [king’s] officials were standing there.
22 Niambesatse añ’anjomban’ asotry ao i mpanjakay amy volam-pahasivey, ie nisodotse añ’atrefa’e eo ty toko-pamindroañe.
It was in the cold season, and the king was in a part of the palace where he stayed when it was cold. He was sitting in front of a fire [to keep/be warm].
23 Aa naho nivakia’ Iehody ty fange’e efatse ndra telo, le tinori’e amy kelelahi’ey vaho nahifi’e amy afo amy tokoiy, ampara’ te fonga niforototoe’ ty afo amy toko-pamindroañey i pelekey.
Each time Jehudi finished reading three or four columns, the king cut off that section of the scroll with a knife and threw it into the fire. He did that, section by section, until the entire scroll was burned up.
24 F’ie tsy nahahembañe iareo, leo raike tsy nandriatse sikiñe, ndra i mpanjakay ndra o mpitoro’e nahajanjiñe i tsaraio.
Neither the king nor his officials showed that they were afraid [that God would punish them]. They did not tear their clothes [to show that they were sorry for what they had done].
25 Mbore nihalaly amy mpanjakay t’i Elnatane naho i Delaia vaho i Gemaria tsy hampiforehete’e i pelekey; fe tsy hinao’e;
Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah pleaded with the king not to burn the scroll, but he did not pay any attention.
26 vaho linili’ i mpanjakay t’Ierakmeele, ana’ i mpanjakay, naho i Seraià, ana’ i Azriele, naho i Selemià, ana’ i Abdile ty hitsepake i Baroke mpanokitse naho Iirmeà mpitoky; f’ie naeta’ Iehovà.
Then the king commanded his son Jerahmeel, Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel to arrest Baruch and me. But [they were unable to do that because] Yahweh had hidden us.
27 Ie finorototo’ i mpanjakay i pelekey, naho o tsara’ sinoki’ i Baroke am-palie’ Iirmeào le niheo am’ Iirmeà ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
After the king had burned the scroll on which were written the messages that I had dictated to Baruch, Yahweh said this to me:
28 Mangalà peleke indraike, le hene isokiro i tsara tamy peleke valoha’e nisodore’ i mpanjaka’ Iehodaiiy.
“Get another scroll, and [tell Baruch to] write everything again, the same messages that he had written on the scroll that the king burned.
29 Le hoe ty ho saontsie’o am’ Iehoiakime mpanjaka’ Iehodà: Hoe t’Iehovà: Fa noroa’o i pelekey, amy ty hoe, Ino ty nanokira’o ao ty hoe te tsy mete tsy hivotrak’ atoy ty mpanjaka’ i Bavele handrotsake o tane atoio, vaho ho mongore’e ze fonga ondaty naho hare ama’e?
[Then go to] the king and say to him, ‘Yahweh says this: “You burned the scroll [because you did not like] what was written on it, that the king of Babylon would surely [RHQ] come [with his army] and destroy this land and get rid of all the people and the animals.
30 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà ty am’ Iehoiakime mpanjaka’ Iehodà, t’ie tsy hanan-kiambesatse amy fiambesa’ i Davidey; vaho havokovoko an-tariñandroke ey ty lolo’e te handro, vaho amy fanalay te haleñe.
Now this is what [I], Yahweh, say about [you], Jehoiakim: 'None of your descendants will rule this kingdom [MTY]. Your corpse will be thrown out [on the ground and not be buried]; it will be under the hot [sun] during the days and [struck by] frost during the nights.
31 Le ho liloveko, ie naho o tiri’eo naho o mpitoro’eo ty amo hakeo’ iareoo, vaho hafetsako am’ iereo naho amo mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo, naho am’ondati’ Iehodao, ze hene hankàñe nivolañako; o tsy hinao’ iereoo.
I will punish you and your family and your officials for their sins. And I will cause the people of Jerusalem and the people of the [other] towns in Judah to experience all the disasters that I promised, because you all would not pay attention [to what I said]!'” '”
32 Aa le nandrambe peleke ila’e t’Iirmeà, le natolo’e amy Baroke, mpanokitse, ana’ i Nerià; vaho hene sinoki’e ao boak’am-palie’ Iirmeà o tsara’ i peleke noroa’ Iehoiakime mpanjaka’ Iehodaio; mbore tinovo’e tsara maro manahak’ izay.
So I took another scroll, and again I dictated the messages to Baruch. He wrote everything that had been written on the [other] scroll, the one that King Jehoiakim had burned in the fire. [But this time, I] added more messages.
