Jeremia 40
1 Ty tsara niheo am’Iirmeà boak’ am’ Iehovà, ie navotso’ i Nebozaradane mpifehem-pigaritse e Ramà añe, ie fa nasese’e an-drohy mindre amo mirohy boak’ Ierosalaime naho Iehodào ho mb’ ampandrohizañe e Bavele añe.
The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains among all the captives of Jerusalem and Judah who were carried away captive to Babylon.
2 Natola’ i mpifehe mpigaritsey t’Iirmeà vaho hoe ty asa’e ama’e: Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ty nitsara o hankàñe zao ami’ty toetse toy;
The captain of the guard took Jeremiah and said to him, “The LORD your God pronounced this evil on this place;
3 le ie henanekeo, fa nihenefa’ Iehovà i tsinara’ey amy te nandilatse am’ Iehovà nahareo vaho tsy hinao’ areo ty fiarañanaña’e. Toly ndra nifetsake i nitsaraeñey.
and the LORD has brought it, and done according as he spoke. Because you have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing has come on you.
4 F’ie henaneo, Ingo te hahako ama’o aniany o rohy am-pità’oo. Aa ie te hindre lia amako mbe Bavele mb’eo, mihavia vaho hatràko soa, f’ie tsy te hindre amako mb’e Bavele añe le apoho. Inge, añatrefa’o eo o tane iabio; mañaveloa amy ze atao’o ho soa naho mahity.
Now, behold, I release you today from the chains which are on your hand. If it seems good to you to come with me into Babylon, come, and I will take care of you; but if it seems bad to you to come with me into Babylon, do not. Behold, all the land is before you. Where it seems good and right to you to go, go there.”
5 Ie mbe tsy nitolike, le hoe re, Molia amy Gedalia ana’ i Ahikame ana’ i Safan; tinendre’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveley ho mpifeleke o rova’ Iehodaoy, vaho mimoneña ama’e, am’ondatio; he mañaveloa mb’amy ze ereñere’o hombañe. Aa le tinolo’ i mpifehe mpigaritsey anjara mahakama naho ravoravo vaho nampomba’e mb’eo.
Now while he had not yet gone back, “Go back then,” he said, “to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people; or go wherever it seems right to you to go.” So the captain of the guard gave him food and a present, and let him go.
6 Aa le nimb’amy Gedelia ana’ i Ahikame e Mitspà añe re vaho nitrao-pimoneñe am’ondaty nengañe an-taneo.
Then Jeremiah went to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah, and lived with him among the people who were left in the land.
7 Ie songa jinanji’ o mpiaolon-dahindefoñe am-patrambeio, ie naho o mpiama’eo, te tinendre’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveley t’i Gedalia ana’ i Ahikame ho mpifeleke i taney, naho nampifeheañe aze ondatio naho o rakembao vaho o ajajao; o loho rarake amy taney tsy nasese mb’e Bavele mb’eoo,
Now when all the captains of the forces who were in the fields, even they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed to him men, women, children, and of the poorest of the land, of those who were not carried away captive to Babylon,
8 le nimb’ amy Gedalia e Mitspà añe iereo rekets’ Ismaele ana’ i Netania, naho Iohanane naho Ionatane sindre ana’ i Karea, i Seraia ana’ i Tankomete, o ana’ i Ofaý nte-Netofào naho Iezania ana’ty nte-Maakà, ie vaho ondati’iareoo.
then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men came to Gedaliah to Mizpah.
9 Le nanao fanta am’ iereo naho amo lahin-defo’eo t’i Gedalia ana’ i Ahikame ana’ i Safane, ami’ty hoe, Ko ihembaña’ areo ty mitoroñe o nte-Kasdio. Imoneño i taney naho toroño ty mpanjaka’ i Bavele, le ho soa tahy.
Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan swore to them and to their men, saying, “Do not be afraid to serve the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it will be well with you.
10 Aa naho izaho, le himoneñe e Mitspà hijohañe añatrefa’ o nte-Kasdy hivotrak’ aman-tikañ’ atoio; f’inahareo: anontono divay naho ty vokats’ asotry naho menake, le ahajao an-tsajoa’ areo ao, vaho imoneño o rova felehe’ areoo.
As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah, to stand before the Chaldeans who will come to us; but you, gather wine and summer fruits and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that you have taken.”
11 Manahake izay ka, ie jinanji’ o nte-Iehodà e Amone naho Edomeo naho o an-tane ila’eo te nampipoke honka’e e Iehodà ao ty mpanjaka’ i Bavele vaho tinendre’e t’i Gedalia ana’ i Ahikame, ana’ i Safane ho mpifelek’ iareo,
Likewise when all the Jews who were in Moab, and among the children of Ammon, and in Edom, and who were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan,
12 le nimpoly boak’ amo fonga tane niparatsiaha’ iareoo mb’an-tane’ Iehodà mb’ amy Gedalia e Mitspà ao ze hene nte Iehoda, le nanontoñe divay vaho vokats’ asara tsifotofoto.
then all the Jews returned out of all places where they were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, and gathered very much wine and summer fruits.
13 Niheo mb’amy Gedalia e Mitspà mb’eo t’Iohanane ana’ i Karea naho ze hene mpiaolon-dahin-defo an-kaloke,
Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,
14 nanao ama’e ty hoe, Tsy fohi’o hao te nafanto’ i Baalise mpanjaka’ o nte-Amoneo t’Ismaele ana’ i Netania hañoho-doza ama’o? F’ie tsy niantofa’ i Gedalia ana’ i Ahikame.
and said to him, “Do you know that Baalis the king of the children of Ammon has sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to take your life?” But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam did not believe them.
15 Aa le natola’ Iohanane ana’ i Karea t’i Gedalia e Mitspà ao, le nanoe’e ty hoe, Ehe, angao handenàko mb’am’ Ismaele ana’ i Netania mb’eo hamono aze, fa tsy ho fohi’ ondaty. Ino ty hañohofa’e loza ami’ty fiai’o? hampiparaitahañe o hene nte-Iehodao, toe ho mongotse ty sehanga’ Iehodà.
Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, “Please let me go, and I will kill Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man will know it. Why should he take your life, that all the Jews who are gathered to you should be scattered, and the remnant of Judah perish?”
16 Fe hoe t’i Gedelia ana’ i Ahikame am’ Iehonane ana’ i Karea, Ko manao zao, ihe andañira’o Ismaele.
But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said to Johanan the son of Kareah, “You shall not do this thing, for you speak falsely of Ishmael.”
