Jeremia 21
1 Ty tsara’ Iehovà am’Iirmeà, ie nirahe’ i Tsidkià ama’e t’i Paskore ana’ i Malkià naho i Tsefanià ana’ i Maaseia mpisoroñe nanao ama’e ty hoe:
The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when king Zedekiah sent unto him Pashur the son of Melchiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,
2 Ehe, mihalalia ho anay am’ Iehovà; amy te maname aly aman-tika t’i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele; hera hitoloñe ho antika t’Iehovà manahake i hene fitoloña’e fanjaka rezay, hampihakañe aze aman-tika.
Enquire, I pray you, of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon makes war against us; if so be that the LORD will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us.
3 Le hoe t’Iirmeà am’ iereo: Ty hoe ty ho saontsie’ areo amy Tsidkià:
Then said Jeremiah unto them, Thus shall all of you say to Zedekiah:
4 Hoe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele: Inao! hafoteko o fialiañe ampità’ areoo, o fialia’ areo amy mpanjaka’ i Baveleio, naho amo nte-Kasdy mamalañe anahareo alafe’ o kijolioo, fa hatontoko an-drova atoy iereo.
Thus says the LORD God of Israel; Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, wherewith all of you fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans, which besiege you without the walls, and I will assemble them into the midst of this city.
5 Le Zaho avao ty hialy ama’ areo am-pità’ natorakìtsy naho an-tsirañe maozatse, naho an-kaboseke mileveleve, vaho am-pifombo miforoforo.
And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath.
6 Le ho lafaeko o mpimone’ ty rova toio, ndra ondaty ndra biby; hampihomahe’ ty angorosy jabajaba.
And I will strike the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast: they shall die of a great pestilence.
7 Ie heneke, hoe t’Iehovà, le haseseko am-pità’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele naho am-pità’ o rafelahi’eo, naho am-pità’ o mipay ty fiai’eo t’i Tsidkià mpanjaka’Iehodà naho o mpitoro’eo, naho ze ondati’ an-drova atoy sinisa’ i angorosiy naho i fibaray, naho i hasalikoañey; vaho ho lafae’e an-kasiom-pibara, le tsy hihevea’e, tsy hiferenaiña’e, vaho tsy hitretreza’e.
And afterward, says the LORD, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life: and he shall strike them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy.
8 Le hoe ty hatao’o am’ondaty retoa: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Hehe te apoko aolo’ areo eo ty lalan-kaveloñe naho ty lalam-pikoromahañe.
And unto this people you shall say, Thus says the LORD; Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.
9 Ze tambatse an-drova atoy ho vonoe’ ty fibara naho ty kerè, vaho ty angorosy; fe ho veloñe ze miakatse, miambane amo nte-Kasdy mañarikatok’ anahareoo, le ho tamben-ali’e ty fiai’e.
He that abides in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goes out, and falls to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey.
10 Fe nampiatrefeko ami’ty rova toy ty tareheko ho hekoheko fa tsy hasoa, hoe t’Iehovà; ie hatolotse am-pità’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveley, vaho ho forototoe’e amañ’afo.
For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, says the LORD: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.
11 Le i anjombam-panjaka’ Iehodày, janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà;
And concerning the house of the king of Judah, say, Hear all of you the word of the LORD;
12 Ry anjomba’ i Davide, hoe t’Iehovà: Ano ty hatò boak’andro, vaho avotsoro am-pità’ ty mpamorekeke i nikamereñey, tsy mone hionjoñe hoe afo ty habosehako, hamorototoako tsy ho lefe vonoeñe, ty amo haloloam-pitoloña’ areoo.
O house of David, thus says the LORD; Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
13 Hehe te miatrek’azo raho ry mpimoneñe am-bavatane ao, hoe t’ie vato a montoñe ey, hoe t’Iehovà: amy ty fatao’ areo ty hoe: Ia ty hizotso haname anay? ndra ia ty himoak’ añ-akiba’ay atoa.
Behold, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the plain, says the LORD; which say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?
14 Toe ho liloveko ty amo vokam-pitoloña’ areoo, hoe t’Iehovà; naho hamiañako afo i ala’ey, vaho fonga ho tomontoñe ze mañohok’ aze.
But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, says the LORD: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.
