Jeremia 38
1 Aa le jinanji’ i Sefatia ana’ i Matane, naho i Gedalia ana’ i Pasore, naho Iokale ana’ i Selemia, naho i Pasore ana’ i Malkia, ty tsara nisaontsie’ Iirmeà am’ ondaty iabio ami’ty hoe,
Then Shephatiah the sonne of Mattan, and Gedaliah the sonne of Pashur, and Iucal the sonne of Shelemiah, and Pashur the sonne of Malchiah, heard the wordes that Ieremiah had spoken vnto all the people, saying,
2 Hoe t’Iehovà: Ho zamanem-pibara, naho ty hasalikoañe naho ty angorosy ze midoñe an-drova atoy; fe ho veloñe ze mionjomb’ amo nte-kasdio mb’eo, le hengañe ama’e ty fiai’e ho tsindroke vaho ho veloñe.
Thus sayth the Lord, He that remaineth in this citie, shall dye by the sworde, by the famine and by the pestilence: but hee that goeth foorth to the Caldeans, shall liue: for he shall haue his life for a praye, and shall liue.
3 Hoe t’Iehovà, Toe hatolotse am-pità’ ty lia-rain-dahindefo’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveleiy ty rova toy vaho ho tavaneñe.
Thus sayth the Lord, This citie shall surely be giuen into the hand of the King of Babels armie, which shall take it.
4 Le hoe i roandriañe rey amy mpanjakay, Ehe, mihalaly ama’o zahay te havetrake indatiy; amy te mokore’e ty fità’ o lahindefo sisa an-drova atoio, naho ty fità’ ondaty iabio, ie taroñe’e i tsara zay le t’ie tsy mipay ty hahasoa ondaty retoa fa ty hampiantoa’e.
Therefore the Princes sayd vnto the King, We beseech you, let this man be put to death: for thus hee weakeneth the hands of the men of warre that remaine in this citie, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such wordes vnto them: for this man seeketh not the wealth of this people, but the hurt.
5 Le hoe t’i Tsidkia mpanjaka am’ iereo, Ingo, am-pità’ areo re: fa ia’ mbao ty mpanjaka te hahafiatrek’ ama’ areo?
Then Zedekiah the King sayd, Behold, he is in your hands, for ye King can denie you nothing.
6 Aa le rinambe’ iereo t’Iirmeà vaho nagodo’ iareo an-kadaha’ i Malkia ana’ i mpanjakay, an-kiririsam-pigaritse ao naho nazotso’ iareo an-taly t’Iirmeà. Tsy aman-drano i kadahay, fa fotake, vaho nilempotse an-ditsak’ ao t’Iirmeà.
Then tooke they Ieremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the sonne of Hammelech, that was in the court of the prison: and they let downe Ieremiah with coards: and in the dungeon there was no water but myre: so Ieremiah stacke fast in the myre.
7 Aa ie jinanji’ i Ebed-meleke nte Kosy, vositse, añ’anjomba’ i mpanjakay te najo’ iareo an-kadaha ao t’Iirmeà—ie tandalam-bei’ i Beniamine eo i mpanjakay,
Now when Ebed-melech ye blacke More one of ye Eunuches, which was in the kings house, heard that they had put Ieremiah in the dungeon (then the King sate in the gate of Beniamin)
8 le niakatse añ’ anjombam-panjaka ao t’i Ebed-meleke vaho nisaontsy amy mpanjakay ty hoe,
And Ebed-melech went out of the Kings house, and spake to the King, saying,
9 O ry talèko mpanjaka, Hekoheko raty ty nanoe’ ondaty reo amy fonga fitoloña’ iareo am’ Iirmeà mpitokiy, ie najorobo an-kadaha ao; toe hihomak’ an-toe’e ao re ty amy mosarey, ie tsy ama-mofo ka ty an-drova atoy.
My lorde the King, these men haue done euill in all that they haue done to Ieremiah the Prophet, whom they haue cast into the dungeon, and he dyeth for hunger in the place where he is: for there is no more bread in the citie.
10 Aa le nafanto’ i mpanjakay amy Ebed-meleke nte Kosy ty hoe: Angalao ondaty telo-polo atoy, vaho akaro an-kadaha ao t’Iirmeà mpitoky, tsy mone hihomake.
Then the King commanded Ebed-melech the blacke More, saying, Take from hence thirtie men with thee, and take Ieremiah the Prophet out of the dungeon before he dye.
11 Aa le nampindreze’ i Ebed-meleke ama’e i ondaty rey, le nizilik’ añ’ anjomba’ i mpanjakay ambane’ i trañom-baray le nandrambe tsirodea naho tsikotita, vaho nazotso’ iareo an-taly mb’am’ Iirmeà amy kadahay.
So Ebed-melech tooke the men with him and went to the house of the King vnder the treasurie, and tooke there olde rotten ragges, and olde worne cloutes, and let them downe by coards into the dungeon to Ieremiah.
12 Le hoe t’i Ebed-meleke nte-Kosy am’ Iirmeà, Ano an-kilek’ ao o tsirodea naho tsikotitao ty amo tàlio. Le nanoe’ Iirmeà.
And Ebed-melech the blacke More sayde vnto Ieremiah, Put now these olde rotten ragges and worne, vnder thine arme holes, betweene the coards. And Ieremiah did so.
13 Aa le tinari’ iareo mañambone amo talìo t’Iirmeà, naho naaka’ iareo an-kadahay, vaho nidok’ an’ kiririsam-pigaritse ao t’Iirmeà.
So they drewe vp Ieremiah with coards and tooke him vp out of the dungeon, and Ieremiah remained in the court of the prison.
14 Nampisangitrife’ i Tsidkia am’ Iirmeà mpitoky vaho nendese’e mb’an-dalambey faha-telo añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao, le hoe i mpanjakay am’ Iirmeà. Hañontane raha ama’o iraho le ko añetaha’o ndra inoñ’ inoñe.
Then Zedekiah the King sent, and tooke Ieremiah the Prophet vnto him, into the thirde entrie that is in the House of the Lord, and the King sayd vnto Ieremiah, I wil aske thee a thing: hide nothing from me.
15 Le hoe t’Iirmeà amy Tsidkia, Aa naho taroñeko, tsy hañohofa’o loza hao? Aa ndra te toroako, ho haoñe’o hao?
Then Ieremiah sayd to Zedekiah, If I declare it vnto thee, wilt not thou slay me? and if I giue thee counsell, thou wilt not heare me.
16 Aa le nanao fanta añ’ etake am’ Iirmeà t’i Tsidkia mpanjaka ami’ty hoe, Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà nitsene i sandrin-tika retoa, tsy havetrako irehe, naho tsy hatoloko am-pità’ ondaty mipay ty fiai’oo.
So the King sware secretly vnto Ieremiah, saying, As the Lord liueth that made vs these soules, I will not slay thee, nor giue thee into the hands of those men that seeke thy life.
17 Aa le hoe t’Iirmeà amy Tsidkia, Hoe t’Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ i màroy, i Andrianañahare’ Israeley: Ie hiakatse mb’amo roandriam-panjaka’ i Baveleo ey, le ho veloñe ty fiai’o, naho tsy ho forototoe’ ty afo ty rova toy; vaho ho velon-drehe naho i anjomba’oy.
Then sayd Ieremiah vnto Zedekiah, Thus sayth the Lord God of hostes, the God of Israel, If thou wilt goe foorth vnto the King of Babels princes, then thy soule shall liue, and this citie shall not be burnt vp with fire, and thou shalt liue, and thine house.
18 Fa naho tsy hiavotse mb’amo roandriam-panjaka’ i Baveleo irehe, le hatolotse am-pità’ o nte Kasdio ty rova toy vaho ho tomomohe’ iareo afo, ihe tsy ho votsorem-pità’ iareo.
But if thou wilt not go forth to the King of Babels princes, then shall this citie be giuen into the hand of ye Caldeans, and they shall burne it with fire, and thou shalt not escape out of their hands.
19 Aa hoe t’i Tsidkia mpanjaka am’ Iirmeà, Atahorako o nte Iehodà nivalike mb’amo nte-Kasdioo, hera hanese ahy am-pità’ iareo ho kizaheñe.
And Zedekiah the King sayde vnto Ieremiah, I am carefull for the Iewes that are fled vnto the Caldeans, least they deliuer mee into their hands, and they mocke me.
20 Fa hoe t’Iirmeà: Tsy hasese’ iereo. Ehe, mivohora am’ Iehovà ty amy nivolañakoy soa te hierañeran-drehe vaho ho veloñe ty fiai’o.
But Ieremiah sayd, They shall not deliuer thee: hearken vnto the voyce of the Lord, I beseech thee, which I speake vnto thee: so shall it be well vnto thee, and thy soule shall liue.
21 F’ihe mifoneñe tsy hionjoñe mb’eo, le zao ty tsara’ Iehovà natoro’e ahy:
But if thou wilt refuse to go forth, this is the worde that the Lord hath shewed me.
22 Inao! ze rakemba sisa añ’ anjombam-panjaka’ Iehodà ao ro songa hakareñe mb’ amo roandria’ i Baveleo: Le ty hoe ty ho asa’ i rakemba rey: O rañe’oo ty nañosik’azo, vaho nandrekets’ azo, aa hehe te nilempotse an-ditsak’ ao o fandia’oo le nitsambolitio’ iareo.
And beholde, all the women that are left in the King of Iudahs house, shalbe brought forth to the King of Babels princes: and those women shall say, Thy friends haue perswaded thee, and haue preuailed against thee: thy feete are fastened in the myre, and they are turned backe.
23 Hene hakare’ iereo mb’amo nte Kasdio o valy naho ana’oo; le tsy ho votsotse am’pità’ iareo irehe fa ho rambesem-pità’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveley, vaho ihe ty hamorototoañe ty rova toy an’ afo.
So they shall bring out all thy wiues, and thy children to the Caldeans, and thou shalt not escape out of their hands, but shalt be taken by the hand of the King of Babel: and this citie shalt thou cause to be burnt with fire.
24 Le hoe t’i Tsidkia am’Iirmeà, Ao tsy hampahafohine’o am’ondaty i rehake zay le tsy ho mate irehe.
Then said Zedekiah vnto Ieremiah, Let no man know of these words, and thou shalt not die.
25 Aa naho rendre’ o roandriañeo te nifanaontsy tika, naho ivotraha’ iareo vaho manao ty hoe: Ehe saontsio ama’ay le nitaroñe’o amy mpanjakaiy naho i nisaontsia’ i mpanjakaiy, le ko añetaha’o, tsy hañohofa’ay loza:
But if ye princes vnderstand that I haue talked with thee, and they come vnto thee, and say vnto thee, Declare vnto vs nowe, what thou hast sayde vnto the King, hide it not from vs, and we will not slay thee: also what the King sayd vnto thee,
26 Le ty hoe ty hatoi’o, I entako amy mpanjakay: Ie nihalaliako te tsy hampibalike ahy mb’añ’anjomba’ Ionatane mb’eo hivetrak’ ao.
Then shalt thou say vnto them, I humbly besought the King that he would not cause me to returne to Iehonathans house, to die there.
27 Ie amy zao sindre niropak’ am’ Iirmeà o roandriañeo nañontane aze, le tinaro’e am’iareo i entañe iaby nampisaontsie’ i mpanjakaiy. Aa le nado’ iareo ty fisaontsiañe ama’e; vaho tsy nioni’ iareo ty vente’e.
Then came all the princes vnto Ieremiah and asked him. And he tolde them according to all these wordes that the King had commanded: so they left off speaking with him, for the matter was not perceiued.
28 Nimoneñe an-kiririsam-pigaritse ao amy zao re ampara’ ty andro’ nitavanañe Ierosalaime.
So Ieremiah abode still in the court of the prison, vntill the day that Ierusalem was taken: and he was there, when Ierusalem was taken.
