¹And all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,

¹[Ny nangatahan'ny Jiosy an'i Jeremia haka hevitra amin'i Jehovah, ary ny anatra nataon'i Jeremia tamin'ny Jiosy kosa noho ny tsy nanekeny ny saina avy tamin'i Jehovah] Ary ny mpifehy ny miaramila rehetra sy Johanana, zanak'i Karea, sy Jazania, zanak'i Hosaia, mbamin'ny vahoaka rehetra, na kely na lehibe, dia nanatona

²came near and said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech thee, our supplication come before thee, and pray for us unto Jehovah thy God, for all this remnant (for we are left a few of many, as thine eyes do behold us);

²ka niteny tamin'i Jeremia mpaminany hoe: Masìna ianao, aoka hoborahina eto anatrehanao ny fifonanay, ary mba ivavaho amin'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao re izahay, dia ireto sisa rehetra ireto (fa vitsy izahay no sisa, na dia maro aza fahiny, dia araka izao hitan'ny masonao izao),

³that Jehovah thy God may shew us the way wherein we should walk, and the thing that we should do.

³mba hambaran'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anay izay lalana mety halehanay sy izay zavatra tokony hataonay.

⁴And Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard; behold, I will pray unto Jehovah your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass [that] whatsoever thing Jehovah shall answer you, I will declare it unto you: I will keep nothing back from you.

⁴Dia hoy Jeremia mpaminany taminy: Efa reko izany; koa, indro, hivavaka amin'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ary aho araka ny teninareo; ary ny teny rehetra Izay havalin'i Jehovah anareo dia hambarako anareo, fa tsy hisy hafeniko.

⁵And they said to Jeremiah, Jehovah be a true and faithful witness amongst us, if we do not even according to all the word for which Jehovah thy God shall send thee to us.

⁵Dia hoy izy tamin'i Jeremia: Jehovah no aoka ho vavolombelona marina sy mahatoky amintsika, raha tsy manao araka ny teny rehetra izay anirahan'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao aminay izahay.

⁶Whether it be good or whether it be evil, we will hearken unto the voice of Jehovah our God, to whom we send thee; that it may be well with us when we hearken unto the voice of Jehovah our God.

⁶Na ho soa, na ho ratsy, dia hohenoinay ny feon'i Jehovah Andriamanitray, izay nanirahanay anao, mba hahasoa anay, raha mihaino ny feon'i Jehovah Andriamanitray izahay.

⁷And it came to pass at the end of ten days, that the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah.

⁷Ary nony afaka hafoloana, dia tonga tamin'i Jeremia ny tenin'i Jehovah.

⁸And he called Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, and all the people from the least even unto the greatest,

⁸Ary izy niantso an'i Johanana, zanak'i Karea, sy ny mpifehy ny miaramila rehetra izay teo aminy mbamin'ny olona rehetra, na kely na lehibe,

⁹and said unto them, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel, to whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him:

⁹ka nanao taminy hoe: Izao no lazain'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, Izay efa nanirahanareo ahy mba hoborahiko eo anatrehany ny fifonanareo:[Heb. hampiankohoka]

¹⁰If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not overthrow [you], and I will plant you, and not pluck [you] up; for I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you.

¹⁰Raha mbola honina amin'ity tany ity ihany ianareo, dia haoriko ianareo, fa tsy horavako, ary hamboleko ianareo, fa tsy hongotako, fa manenina Aho ny amin'ny loza namelezako anareo.

¹¹Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid: be not afraid of him, saith Jehovah; for I will be with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.

¹¹Aza matahotra ny mpanjakan'i Babylona izay atahoranareo; eny, aza matahotra azy, hoy Jehovah, fa momba anareo Aho hamonjy sy hanafaka anareo amin'ny tànany.

¹²And I will grant mercies to you, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own land.

¹²Ary hataoko mahita famindram-po ianareo, dia hamindra fo aminareo izy ka hampody anareo ho any amin'ny taninareo.

¹³But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land; so as not to hearken unto the voice of Jehovah your God,

¹³Fa raha hoy kosa ianareo: Tsy honina amin'ity tany ity izahay, ka tsy hihaino ny feon'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ianareo,

¹⁴saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger for bread; and there will we dwell;

¹⁴fa manao hoe: Tsia; fa hankany amin'ny tany Egypta izahay, fa any no tsy hahitanay ady, na handrenesanay ny feon'ny anjomara na hahitanay mosary, ka dia any no honenanay,

¹⁵-- and now, therefore, hear the word of Jehovah, ye remnant of Judah: thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: If ye really set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there,

¹⁵dia mihainoa ny tenin'i Jehovah ankehitriny ianareo izay sisa amin'ny Joda: Izao no lazain'i Jehovah. Tompon'ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Raha dia mikiry hankany Egypta ihany ianareo ka mandeha hivahiny any,

¹⁶then it shall come to pass, that the sword which ye fear shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye are afraid, shall follow hard after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die.

¹⁶dia hahatratra anareo any amin'ny tany Egypta ny sabatra izay atahoranareo, ary ny mosary izay ahinareo no hanjohy anareo any amin'ny tany Egypta, ary any no hahafaty anareo.

¹⁷And it shall be that all the men that have set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.

¹⁷Ary ny olona rehetra izay mikiry hankany Egypta hivahiny any dia ho fatin'ny sabatra sy ny mosary ary ny areti-mandringana any; ary tsy hisy sisa ho afa-mandositra ny loza izay hataoko mihatra aminy.

¹⁸For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: As mine anger and my fury have been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt; and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach, and ye shall see this place no more.

¹⁸Fa izao no lazain'i Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Toy ny nanidinana ny fahatezerako sy ny fahavinirako tamin'ny mponina any Jerosalema, dia toy izany no hanidinana ny fahatezerako aminareo, raha mankany Egypta ianareo; ary ho fianianana sy ho figagana sy ho fanozonana ary ho fandatsa ianareo, sady tsy hahita ity tany ity intsony.

¹⁹Jehovah hath said concerning you, the remnant of Judah, Go ye not into Egypt. Know certainly that I have admonished you this day.

¹⁹Jehovah efa nilaza ny aminareo, ry sisa amin'ny Joda, hoe: Aza mankany Egypta ianareo; aoka ho fantatrareo tokoa fa efa nanariko androany ianareo.

²⁰For ye deceived yourselves in your own souls, when ye sent me unto Jehovah your God, saying, Pray for us unto Jehovah our God; and according to all that Jehovah our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do it.

²⁰Kanjo efa nivily ianareo ka nahavoa ny ainareo tamin'ny nanirahanareo ahy ho amin'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo hanao hoe: Mba ivavaho amin'i Jehovah Andriamanitsika re izahay, ary izay rehetra holazain'i Jehovah Andriamanitsika dia ambarao aminay, fa hataonay.

²¹And I have this day declared [it] to you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah your God, nor anything for which he hath sent me unto you.

²¹Ary efa nambarako taminareo androany; nefa tsy nihaino ny feon'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ianareo ny amin'izay zavatra nanirahany ahy ho aminareo.Koa aoka ho fantatrareo marimarina fa ho fatin-tsabatra sy mosary ary areti-mandringana ianareo any amin'ny tany izay tianareo hivahiniana.

²²And now know certainly that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go to sojourn.

²²Koa aoka ho fantatrareo marimarina fa ho fatin-tsabatra sy mosary ary areti-mandringana ianareo any amin'ny tany izay tianareo hivahiniana.
