< Jeremia 42 >
1 Aa le nañarivo mb’eo o mpifehe lahindefoñe iabio, naho Iohanane ana’ i Karea, naho Iezanià ana’ i Hosaià, vaho ze hene ondaty, ty bey naho ty kedeke,
Then came near all the captains of the armies, and Jochanan the son of Kareach, and Yezanyah the son of Hosha'yah, and all the people from the least even unto the greatest,
2 nanao ty hoe am’ Iirmeà mpitoky, Ehe te ho no’o ty halali’ay t’ie hisoloho ho anay am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, ho amako o hene sehanga’e retoa; amy te nengañe tsy ampeampe tika nimaro, ie o isam-pihaino’oo;
And said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech thee, our humble supplication be accepted before thee, and pray in our behalf unto the Lord thy God, in behalf of all this remnant; [for we are left but a few of many, as thy own eyes do see us: ]
3 soa te hatoro’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ama’ay ty hañaveloa’ay naho ty hanoe’ay.
That the Lord thy God may tell us the way whereon we should walk, and the thing that we should do.
4 Aa le hoe t’Iirmeà mpitoky am’ iereo, Fa tsinanoko nahareo; toe ho halalieko am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo ty amy saontsi’ areoy; ie amy zao, ze tsara hatoi’ Iehovà ama’ areo ty hitaroñako; tsy eo ty ho tanako ama’ areo.
Then said Jeremiah the prophet unto them, I have heard you: behold, I will pray unto the Lord your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing the Lord will answer you, I will tell unto you; I will withhold not a word from you.
5 Aa le nanao ty hoe am’ Iirmeà iereo, Ehe te ho valolombeloñe vantañe naho migahiñe añivo-tika t’Iehovà, naho tsy hanoe’ay ze hene tsara hañiraha’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ama’ay añama’o.
But they said to Jeremiah, May the Lord be a true and faithful witness against us, if we do not act entirely according to all the word with which the Lord thy God may send thee to us:
6 Ke t’ie ho soa he te ho raty, ho haoñe’ay ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika amantoha’ay azoy; soa te hañasoa anay ty hañaoñe ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika.
Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will hearken to the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we send thee; in order that it may be well with us, when we hearken to the voice of the Lord our God.
7 Aa ie nimodo ty folo andro, le niheo am’ Iirmeà ty tsara’ Iehovà.
And it came to pass at the end of ten days, that the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah.
8 Le kinoi’e t’Iohanane ana’ i Kerea naho o mpifehen-dahin-defoñe mpiama’eo naho ze hene ondaty, ty kede naho ty bey
Then called he Jochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the armies who were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
9 vaho nanoe’e ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israeley, ie namantoha’ areo ahy hañenga i halali’ areoy añatrefa’e.
And he said unto them, Thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your humble supplication before him:
10 Aa naho toe himoneña’ areo o tane toio, le haoreko fa tsy harotsako; hamboleko fa tsy hombotako; le hanintsiñeko ty amy hankàñe nanoeko ama’ areoy.
If ye will indeed remain in this land, then will I build you up, and I will not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I have bethought me of the evil that I have done unto you.
11 Ko hembaña’ areo i mpanjaka’ i Babilone irevendreveña’ areoy; ko miria-tsandry ty ama’e; hoe t’Iehovà; toe hindre ama’ areo iraho handrombake naho hamotsotse anahareo am-pità’e.
Be ye not afraid because of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid: have no fear of him, saith the Lord; for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you out of his hand.
12 Le ho tolorako tretrè soa te hiferenaiña’e le hampolie’e mb’an-tane’ areo ao.
And I will give unto you mercy, that he may have mercy upon you, and let you return to your own land.
13 F’ie mone hanao ty hoe: Tsy himoneña’ay ty tane toy; amy te tsy haoñe’ areo ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo;
But if ye say, We will not remain in this land, so as not to hearken to the voice of the Lord your God,
14 vaho manao ty hoe: Aiy! hañavelo mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo zahay, tsy hahaisak’ aly, tsy hahajanjiñe antsiva, tsy hifeake kerè; le añe ty himoneña’ay;
Saying, No; but into the land of Egypt will we go, that we may not see war, nor hear the sound of the cornet, and that we may not have hunger for bread; and there will we dwell;
15 le janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà, ry sehanga’ Iehodà: Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, i Andrianañahare’ Israeley; naho toañe’ areo o lahara’ areoo higodañe mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo hisese añe;
And now therefore hear the word of the Lord, ye remnant of Judah, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, If ye will indeed set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go thither to sojourn there:
16 le ho takare’ i fibara ihembaña’ areoy an-tane Mitsraime ao, vaho hañoridañe anahareo e Mitsraime añe i hasalikoañe marimarihe’ areoy; vaho hikoromak’ añe.
Then shall the sword, of which ye are afraid, there overtake you in the land of Egypt; and the famine, whereof ye are in dread, shall there cleave close unto you in Egypt; and there shall ye die.
17 Izay ty hifetsak’ amy ze fonga ondaty mampitoañe ty lahara’e mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo hitaveañe añe; ho zamane’ ty fibara, ty hasalikoañe, naho ty angorosy; vaho tsy ho aman-tsehanga’e ndra ty hahabotafotse ami’ty feh’ohatse hafetsako ama’e.
So shall be all the men that have set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there, —they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; and they shall have none that remaineth or escapeth from the evil that I am bringing over them.
18 Fa hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, i Andrianañahare’ Israeley: Manahake ty nampidoañañe ty habosehako naho ty fiforoforoako amo mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo, ty hampidoañañe ama’ areo ty fileveleveako naho mimoake e Mitsraime añe; le ho fokom-patse, ho halatsañe, ho ozoñe naho inje; vaho tsy ho isa’ areo ka ty toetse toy.
For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, As my anger and my fury were poured forth over the inhabitants of Jerusalem: so shall my fury be poured forth over you, when ye enter into Egypt; and ye shall become an oath, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a disgrace; and ye shall never see this place again.
19 Hoe ty nitsarà’ Iehovà ama’areo ry sehanga’ Iehodào; Ko mimoak’ e Mitsraime ao; mahafohina te hinatahatako anindroany.
The Lord hath spoken concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah, “Ye shall not go into Egypt:” ye must know for certain that I have warned you this day.
20 Fe nifañahie’ areo ty tro’areo; ami’ty nañirahañ’ ahy mb’am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo, ami’ty hoe: Ihalalio ho anay t’Iehovà Andrianañaharentika vaho itaroño ndra inoñ’ inoñe saontsie’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika, le hanoe’ay.
For ye have dissembled in regard to what your intentions are; for ye sent me unto the Lord your God, saying, Pray in our behalf unto the Lord our God: and in accordance with all that the Lord our God may say, so tell unto us, and we will do it.
21 Aa le ie i tinaroko ama’ areo anindroaniy; fe tsy haoñe’ areo ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo ami’ty inoñ’ inoñe namantoha’e ahy ho ama’areo.
And I have told it to you this day; but ye have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord your God, and this in all with which he hath sent me unto you.
22 Mahafohina an-katò t’ie hampihomahem-pibara naho ty mosare vaho ty angorosy amy toetse tea’ areo hombañe hañialoa’ areoy.
But now know for certain that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go to sojourn there.
