Jeremia 44

1 Ty tsara niheo am’ Iirmeà ty amo nte-Iehodà iaby nañialo an-tane Mitsraimeo, o nimoneñe e Migdole naho e Takpanese naho e Nofe vaho an-tane’ i Patroseo, nanao ty hoe:

The word which came to Jeremiah, against all the Jews who were dwelling in the land of Egypt, —who were dwelling in Migdol and in Tahpanhes, and in Noph, and in the land of Pathros saying:

2 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, i Andrianañahare’ Israeley, Fa niisa’ areo i fonga hankàñe nafetsako am’ Ierosalaime naho amo hene rova’ Iehodao; le heheke t’ie mangoakoake henaneo naho tsy imoneña’ ondaty,

Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Ye yourselves, saw all the calamity which I brought in upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah, —and there they are, a desolation this day, and there is not in them an inhabitant:

3 ty amy halò-tsereke nanoe’ iereo hampibosek’ ahy, ie niheo mb’amo ndrahare ila’eo, nañenga naho nitoroñe iareo, o tsy nifohi’ iereoo; ie ndra nahareo, ndra o roae’ areoo;

because of their wickedness which they committed, provoking me to anger, by going to burn incense, to serve other gods, whom they had not known, they, ye nor your fathers;

4 ndra te nampihitrifeko ama’ areo o mpitoky mpitoroko iabio nañampitso t’ie niraheñe ninday ty hoe: Ehe, ko anoe’ areo o raha tiva hejekoo.

yet I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, betimes sending them, saying, Do not, I pray you, commit this abominable thing, which I hate!

5 F’ie tsy nañaoñe, tsy nanokilan-dravembia, tsy nibalintoa amo hatsivokarañeo, hijihera’ iareo ty fañembohañe aman-drahare ila’e.

but they hearkened not neither inclined their ear, by turning from their wickedness, —so as not to burn incense to other gods.

6 Aa le nidoandoañe ty fiforoforoan-kabosehako, vaho namorototo an-drova’ Iehodà ao naho an-damo’ Ierosalaime ey, ampara’ t’ie nangoakoake naho kafoake, vaho ie henaneo.

Therefore were mine indignation and mine anger poured out, and a fire was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, —and they became waste and desolate, as at this day.

7 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà, t’i Andrianañahare’ i màroy, t’i Andrianañahare’ Israele; Akore ty anoe’ areo ty haloloañe jabajaba zao hampiantoa’ areo fiaiñe hañitoa’ areo am’ Iehodà ze ondaty naho rakemba, ajaja naho anak’ ajaja minono, soa te leo raike tsy ho sisañe ama’ areo;

Now, therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh God of hosts God of Israel—Wherefore, are ye committing a great wickedness against your own lives, that ye should cut off from you man and woman child and suckling, out of the midst of Judah, —so that there should not be left you a remnant:

8 amy te sinigi’ areo iraho amo satam-pità’ areoo, ty fañenga’ areo aman-drahare ila’e an-tane Mitsraime ao, i nisesea’ areoy; soa t’ie haitoañe vaho ho fokom-patse naho titse amo kilakila’ ondati’ ty tane toio?

in that ye provoke me to anger by the works of your own hands, burning incense to other gods, in the land of Egypt, which ye have been entering to sojourn, —that ye should cut them off from you, and that ye should become a contempt and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?

9 Nihaliño’ areo hao ty fitoloñan-dratin-droae’ areo naho ty sata-rati’ o mpanjaka’ Iehodào naho ty sata-rati’ o vali’eo, naho ty sata-rati’ areo naho ty sata-ratin-tañanjomba’ areo, o nanoe’ iereo an-tane’ Iehodà ao naho an-dala’ Ierosalaimeo?

Have ye forgotten the wicked ways of your fathers and the wicked ways of the kings of Judah, and the wicked ways of his wives, and your own wicked ways, and the wicked ways of your own wives, —which they committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?

10 Mboe tsy nireke pake henane, mbore tsy mañeveñe, tsy mañavelo an-Kàke ndra amo fañè najadoko aolo’ areo, añatrefan-droae’ areo.

They have not been crushed, unto this day; neither have they been afraid, neither have they walked in my law, and in my statutes, which I set before you and before your fathers,

11 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, t’i Andrianañahare’ Israele; Inao te hatreatrèko ama’ areo ty tareheko ho ami’ty hankàñe, le fonga haitoako t’Iehodà;

Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts God of Israel, Behold me! setting my face against you for calamity, —even to cut off all Judah;

12 naho haitoako ty sehanga’ Iehodà niatre-daharañe mbe Mitsraime mb’etoy hitaveañe, naho songa ho mongo­reñe, toe hikoromak’ an-tane Mitsraime atoa nahareo, ho zevoñem-pibara naho ty hasalikoañe, fonga hivetrake, ty kede naho ty bey, ami’ty mesolava naho ty kerè; le ho fatse, naho fampangebahebahañe naho fanirañe vaho fañinjeañe.

and I will take the remnant of Judah who did set their faces to enter the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, in the land of Egypt, shall they fall by the sword, by famine, shall they be consumed, from the least even unto the greatest, by sword and by famine, shall they die, —so shall they become a curse, and an astonishment, and a contempt and a reproach;

13 Amy te ho liloveko o mañialo an-tane Mitsraimeo, manahake ty nandilovako Ierosalaime, ami’ty fibara naho ty kerè vaho ty angorosy,

and I will bring punishment upon them who are dwelling in the land of Egypt, just as I brought punishment upon Jerusalem, —by sword, by famine and by pestilence;

14 leo raike tsy hipota­tsake ndra hahatambeloñe amo sehanga’ Iehodà nitaveañe mb’ an-tane Mitsraime hañialo añeo vaho himpoly mb’an-tane’ Iehodà añe, mb’amy fañiria’ iareoy; amy te tsy eo ty himpoly añe naho tsy o tsy ampe mahapolititseo avao.

and there shall be neither escape nor survival, unto the remnant of Judah who have been entering, to sojourn there into the land of Egypt, —that they should return to the land of Judah even when they are lifting up their soul to return to dwell there, for none shall return, saving fugitives.

15 Aa le nanoiñe am’ Iirmeà ondaty nahafohiñe te nañenga amo ‘ndrahare ila’eo o vali’eoo naho o rakemba nizorazora eio naho i valobohòkey vaho ze hene ondaty nimoneñe an-tane Mitsraime e Patrose ao, ami’ty hoe,

Then all the men who knew that their wives were burning incense to other gods, and all the women standing by, a great convocation, —with all the people who were dwelling in the land of Egypt in Pathros, made answer unto Jeremiah, saying:

16 I tsara nisaontsie’o ama’ay ami’ty tahina’ Iehovày: Tsy hañaoñe azo zahay.

As touching the word which thou hast spoken unto us, in the name of Yahweh we are not going to hearken unto thee;

17 Fa tsy mete tsy hanoe’ay ze fonga enta’ naka­re’ o vava’aio, ty hañemboke amy mpanjaka-ampelan-dikerañey, naho ty hampidoañañe enga-rano, fa izay ty sata’ay, zahay naho o roae’aio, o mpanjaka’aio, o roandria’aio an-tane’ Iehodà naho an-dala’ Ierosalaime ao; amy t’ie nienen-kaneñe henane zay, vaho nijangañe, vaho tsy nizo hankàñe.

but, we will certainly do, the whole thing that hath gone forth out of our own mouth, by burning incense to the queen of the heavens, and pouring out to her drink-offerings, just as we and our fathers, and our kings and our princes, did, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, then were we filled with bread and became prosperous, and calamity, saw we none;

18 Fe mifototse ami’ty nampipoha’ay ty fañengañe amy mpanjaka ampelan-dike­rañey, naho ty fampidoaña’ay enga rano, le nipo-vara, vaho nizamanem-pibara naho ty kerè.

whereas, from the very time we ceased burning incense to the queen of the heavens and pouring out to her drink-offerings, we have lacked everything, —and by sword and by famine, have we been consumed.

19 Aa vaho zahay avao hao ty mañenga amy mpanjakan-dikerañey naho mañiliñe enga-rano ama’e? Mamboatse mofomamy ami’ty vinta’e naho mampidoañe engan-drano ama’e hao zahay naho tsy eo valy?

And, though we are burning incense to the queen of the heavens and pouring out to her drink-offerings, is it, without our men that we have made to her sacrificial cakes as images of her and poured out to her, drink-offerings?

20 Aa le hoe t’Iirmeà am’ondaty iabio, amo lahilahio naho amo rakembao naho amy ze fonga ondaty nanoiñe aze amy hoe zay:

Then spake Jeremiah unto all the people, —against the men and against the women, and against all the people who had been making any answer unto him, saying:

21 O tsotse nañemboha’ areo an-drova’ Iehodà naho an-dala’ Ierosalaimeo, inahareo naho o rae’ areoo naho o mpanjaka’ areoo naho o roandria’ areoo naho ondati’ i taneio; tsy niarofoana’ Iehovà hao, tsy nizilik’ am-pitsakorea’e ao hao?

Was it not, the very incense which ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye and your fathers your kings and your princes and the people of the land, was it not those very things, that Yahweh did remember, and that came up on his heart;

22 Ampara te tsy nileo’ Iehovà o sata-rati’ areoo, naho o raha tiva nanoe’ areoo; toly ndra ninjare kòake ty tane’ areo, toe halatsa­ñe, vaho fatse, tsy amam-pimoneñe pake henaneo.

so that Yahweh could no longer forbear because of the wickedness of your doings, because of the abominations which ye committed, —and your land became a desolation, and an astonishment, and a contempt without inhabitant—as at this day?

23 I fañenga’ areo irezay, o hakeo’ areo am’ Iehovào, t’ie tsy nañaoñe ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà, te tsy nañavelo an-Kàke, ndra amo fañè’eo, ndra amo fitaroña’eo: ie ty nifetsaha’ o hekoheko zao ama’ areo henaneo.

Because that ye burned incense, and that ye sinned against Yahweh and hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh, and, in his law and in his statutes and in his testimonies, did not walk, for this cause, did this calamity befall you—as at this day.

24 Tinovo’ Iirmeà ty hoe am’ ondaty iabio, naho amo rakemba iabio: Janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà, ry hene Iehodà an-tane’ Mitsraime atoio:

And Jeremiah said unto all the people, and unto all the women, —Hear ye the word of Yahweh, all Judah, who are in the land of Egypt, —

25 Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, t’i Andrianañahare’ Israele: Fonga nisaontsy am-palie nahareo naho o tañanjomba’ areoo vaho nihenefem-pità’ areo ami’ty hoe, Toe hanoe’ay o fanta nititihe’aio naho hañenga amy mpanjaka-ampelan-dike­rañey, naho hañily enga rano ama’e; Toe hajado’ areo o nifantà’ areoo vaho ho henefe’ areo o fititiha’ areoo.

Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, saying, Ye and your wives, have both spoken with your mouth and with your hands, have ye fulfilled saying, We will, certainly perform, our vows which we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out to her drink-offerings: the women will certainly confirm, your vows, and, certainly perform, your vows.

26 Ehe tsendreño ty tsara’ Iehovà, ry Iehodà mpañialo e Mitsraime atoañ’ iabio; Ingo fa nifanta amy añarako ra’elahiy iraho, hoe t’Iehovà, te le lia’e tsy ho toñoneñe am-palie’ ondaty nte-Iehodà an-tane Mitsraime atoao ty añarako ami’ty hoe, Kanao veloñe t’i Talè Iehovà.

Therefore, hear ye the word of Yahweh, all Judah, who are dwelling in the land of Egypt, —Behold me! I have sworn by my great Name, Saith Yahweh, That my Name shall no more be invoked by the mouth of any man of Judah saying—By the life of My Lord, Yahweh in all the land of Egypt.

27 Inao! haratiañe ty añambenako iareo, fa tsy fañasoàñe; vaho fonga ho mongore’ ty fibara naho ty hasalikoañe ze lahilahi’ Iehodà an-tane’ Mitsraime atoy, ampara’ te tsy aman-tsehanga’e.

Behold me! watching over them for calamity, and not for blessing, —so shall all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt, be consumed, by sword and by famine until there be an end of them.

28 Fe hipolititse amy fibaray ty honka’e tsy ampe boak’an-tane Mitsraime atoa homb’an-tane’ Iehodà mb’eo, soa te ho fohi’ i hengaha’ Iehodà nivotrak’ an-tane Mitsraime hañialoa’ey, te, ty tsara’ ia ty ho to, ke ty ahy he ty a iareo?

Yet, the fugitives of the sword, shall certainly return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah men easily counted, —that all the remnant of Judah who are entering Egypt to sojourn there, may know, whose word, shall stand, mine or theirs!

29 Le inao, ty viloñe ama’ areo, hoe t’Iehovà, te toe hitilihako an-toetse atoy, hahafohina’ areo te vata’e hijadoñe ama’ areo ho ami’ty hankàñe o entakoo:

And, this, to you, shall be the sign, Declareth Yahweh, that I am about to bring punishment upon you in this place, —that ye may know that my words shall, certainly stand against you, for calamity:

30 fa hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Ingo te hatoloko am-pità’ o rafelahi’eo naho am-pità’ o mipay ty fiai’eo t’i Parò-Kofrà mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime, hambañ’ amy nanolorako i Tsidkia, mpanjaka’ Iehodà, am-pita’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele, rafalahi’e nipay t’y fiai’e.

Thus, saith Yahweh, Behold me! delivering up Pharaoh-hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, yea into the hand of them who are seeking his life, —just as I delivered Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon his enemy, and one seeking his life.
