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 son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashur the son of Malchiah, heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken unto 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 says the LORD, He that remains in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goes forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his life for a prey, and shall live.

3 Hoe t’Iehovà, Toe hatolotse am-pità’ ty lia-rain-dahindefo’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveleiy ty rova toy vaho ho tavaneñe.

Thus says the LORD, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, 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 said unto the king, We plead to you, let this man be put to death: for thus he weakens the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeks not the welfare 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 said, Behold, he is in your hand: for the king is not he that can do any thing against you.

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 took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the son of Hammelech, that was in the court of the prison: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire: so Jeremiah sunk in the mire.

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 Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs which was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon; the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin;

8 le niakatse añ’ anjombam-panjaka ao t’i Ebed-meleke vaho nisaontsy amy mpanjakay ty hoe,

Ebedmelech went forth out of the king's house, and spoke 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 lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is like to die for hunger in the place where he is: for there is no more bread in the city.

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 Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from behind thirty men with you, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die.

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 Ebedmelech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence old cast clouts and old rotten rags, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.

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 Ebedmelech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, Put now these old cast clouts and rotten rags under your armholes under the cords. And Jeremiah 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 drew up Jeremiah with cords, and took him up out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah 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 raho le ko añetaha’o ndra inoñ’ inoñe.

Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry that is in the house of the LORD: and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask you 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 Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I declare it unto you, will you not surely put me to death? and if I give you counsel, will you not hearken unto 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 rehe, naho tsy hatoloko am-pità’ ondaty mipay ty fiai’oo.

So Zedekiah the king swore secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As the LORD lives, that made us this soul, I will not put you to death, neither will I give you into the hand of these men that seek your 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 said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus says the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; If you will assuredly go forth unto the king of Babylon's princes, then your soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and you shall live, and your house:

18 Fa naho tsy hiavotse mb’amo roandriam-panjaka’ i Baveleo rehe, le hatolotse am-pità’ o nte Kasdio ty rova toy vaho ho tomomohe’ iareo afo, ihe tsy ho votsorem-pità’ iareo.

But if you will not go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and you shall not escape out of their hand.

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 said unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews that are fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock 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 Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver you. Obey, I plead to you, the voice of the LORD, which I speak unto you: so it shall be well unto you, and your soul shall live.

21 F’ihe mifoneñe tsy hionjoñe mb’eo, le zao ty tsara’ Iehovà natoro’e ahy:

But if you refuse to go forth, this is the word that the LORD has showed 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, behold, all the women that are left in the king of Judah's house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon's princes, and those women shall say, Your friends have set you on, and have prevailed against you: your feet are sunk in the mire, and they are turned away back.

23 Hene hakare’ iereo mb’amo nte Kasdio o valy naho ana’oo; le tsy ho votsotse am’pità’ iareo rehe fa ho rambesem-pità’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveley, vaho ihe ty hamorototoañe ty rova toy an’ afo.

So they shall bring out all your wives and your children to the Chaldeans: and you shall not escape out of their hand, but shall be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and you shall cause this city to be burned with fire.

24 Le hoe t’i Tsidkia am’Iirmeà, Ao tsy hampahafohine’o am’ondaty i rehake zay le tsy ho mate rehe.

Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and you shall not die.

25 Aa naho rendre’ o roandriañeo te nifanaontsy tika, naho ivotraha’ iareo l manao ty hoe: Ehe saontsio ama’ay i nitaroñe’o amy mpanjakaiy naho i nisaontsia’ i mpanjakaiy, le ko añetaha’o, tsy hañohofa’ay loza:

But if the princes hear that I have talked with you, and they come unto you, and say unto you, Declare unto us now what you have said unto the king, hide it not from us, and we will not put you to death; also what the king said unto you:

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 you shall say unto them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's 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 unto Jeremiah, and asked him: and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they left off speaking with him; for the matter was not perceived.

28 Nimoneñe an-kiririsam-pigaritse ao amy zao re ampara’ ty andro’ nitavanañe Ierosalaime.

So Jeremiah abode in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem was taken: and he was there when Jerusalem was taken.
