Jeremiah 10
1 Hear ye the word which Jehovah speaks to you, O house of Israel.
Henoy ny teny izay lazain’ i Jehovah aminareo, ry taranak’ Isiraely!
2 Thus says Jehovah: Learn not the way of the nations, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven, for the nations are dismayed at them.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Aza mianatra ny fanaon’ ny jentilisa; Ary aza matahotra ireo famantarana eny amin’ ny lanitra; Fa ny jentilisa no matahotra izany.
3 For the customs of the peoples are vanity. For a man cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe.
Fa ny fanaon’ ny firenena dia zava-poana; Fa hazo nokapaina tany an’ ala ireny, dia asan-tànan’ ny mpiasa amin’ ny famaky;
4 They deck it with silver and with gold. They fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it not move.
Volafotsy sy volamena no an-dravahany azy, ary hombo sy tantanana no entiny manamafy azy, mba tsy hihetsiketehany.
5 They are like a palm tree, of turned work, and do not speak. They must be carried, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, nor is it in them to do good.
Toy ny hazo voasana ho sari-drofia izy, fa tsy mahateny; Ary entina ihany izy, fa tsy mba afa-mandeha; Aza matahotra azy, fa tsy mahatonga loza izy sady tsy mahay manisy soa.
6 There is none like thee, O Jehovah. Thou are great, and thy name is great in might.
Tsy misy tokoa izay tahaka Anao, Jehovah ô; Lehibe Hianao, ary lehibe amin’ ny hery ny anaranao.
7 Who should not fear thee, O King of the nations? For to thee it appertains, inasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like thee.
Iza no tsy hatahotra Anao, ry Mpanjakan’ ny firenena! Fa Hianao no iendrehan’ izany, eny, amin’ ny hendry rehetra amin’ ny firenena sy amin’ ny fanjakany rehetra dia tsy misy tahaka Anao.
8 But they are together brutish and foolish, the instruction of idols! It is but a block of wood.
Fa ketrina sy adala avokoa izy rehetra; He! fananaram-poana! fa tapa-kazo ihany.
9 There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the hands of the goldsmith, blue and purple for their clothing. They are all the work of skilful men.
Volafotsy voafisaka nalaina avy tany Tarsisy sy volamena avy tany Ofaza Izany, asan-tanan’ ny mpiasa sy ny mpanefy volamena; Lamba manga sy volomparasy ny fitafiany; Asan’ ny mahay zavatra izy rehetra.
10 But Jehovah is the true God. He is the living God, and an everlasting King. At his wrath the earth trembles, and the nations are not able to abide his indignation.
Fa Jehovah no Andriamanitra tokoa, eny, Izy no Andriamanitra velona sy Mpanjaka mandrakizay. Izay mampihorohoro ny tany amin’ ny fahatezerany, ka tsy tantin’ ny firenena ny fahavinirany
11 Thus ye shall say to them: The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.
(Izao no holazainareo amin’ ireny; Ny amin’ ny andriamanitra izay tsy mba nanao ny lanitra sy ny tany, dia ho levona tsy ho amin’ ny tany na ho atỳ ambanin’ ny lanitra ireny)
12 He has made the earth by his power. He has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding he has stretched out the heavens.
Dia Ilay nanao ny tany tamin’ ny heriny sy nampiorina izao tontolo izao tamin’ ny fahendreny ary namelatra ny lanitra tamin’ ny fisainany.
13 When he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings for the rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasuries.
Raha mampirohondrohona ny rano any an-danitra Izy, dia mampiakatra fofona avy any amin’ ny faran’ ny tany; Manao ny helatra ho amin’ ny ranonorana Izy sady mamoaka ny rivotra avy amin’ ny firaketany.
14 Every man has become brutish, without knowledge. Every goldsmith is put to shame by his graven image. For his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
Efa ketrina avokoa ny olona rehetra ka tsy manam-pahalalana; Menarina noho ny sarin-javatra voasokitra ny mpanefy volamena rehetra; Fa fitaka ny sarin-javatra an-idina, sady tsy misy fofon’ aina ao aminy.
15 They are vanity, a work of delusion. In the time of their visitation they shall perish.
Zava-poana ireny, dia asa mahatsikaiky foana; Amin’ ny andro hamaliana azy dia ho levona izy.
16 The portion of Jacob is not like these. For he is the former of all things, and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance. Jehovah of hosts is his name.
Tsy mba tahaka ireo ny Anjaran’ i Jakoba; Fa Mpamorona ny zavatra rehetra Izy; Ary ny Isiraely no firenena lovany; Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no anarany.
17 Gather up thy wares out of the land, O thou who abides in the siege.
Angony ny korontan’ entanao, ka ento hiala amin’ ny tany, ry ilay mipetraka ao amin’ ny haterena!
18 For thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel it.
Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, hatorako ho indray misidina toy ny vaton’ antsamotady ny mponina amin’ ny tany, ary hataoko terỳ izy mba hahitany.
19 Woe is me because of my hurt! My wound is grievous, but I said, Truly this is my grief, and I must bear it.
Mahita loza aho, fa torotoro! Tsy azo sitranina ny feriko; Nefa hoy Izaho: Anjara-fahoriako izao, ka dia hozakaiko ihany.
20 My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken. My sons have gone forth from me, and they are not. There is none to spread my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
Rava ny laiko, ary tapaka avokoa ny kofehin-daiko; Lasa ny zanako, ka tsy misy intsony, eny, tsy misy hamelatra ny laiko intsony na hanantona ny ambain-daiko.
21 For the shepherds have become brutish, and have not inquired of Jehovah. Therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered.
Fa efa ketrina ny mpiandry ondry ka tsy mitady an’ i Jehovah; Izany no tsy mahahendry azy, ka dia miely ny ondry andrasany rehetra.
22 The voice of news. Behold, it comes, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling-place of jackals.
Injany! misy siosion-teny hoe: Indro, tamy izy amin’ ny fihorakorahana be avy any amin’ ny tany avaratra mba hahatonga ny tanànan’ ny Joda ho lao sy ho fonenan’ ny amboadia.
23 O Jehovah, I know that the way of man is not in himself. It is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
Jehovah ô, fantatro fa tsy an’ ny olombelona ny lalan-kalehany, na an’ ny mpandeha ny hahalavorary ny diany
24 O Jehovah, correct me, but in measure, not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.
Jehovah ô, anaro aho, nefa araka ny antonony ihany, fa tsy amin’ ny fahatezeranao, fandrao hataonao tonga tsinontsinona aho.
25 Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name. For they have devoured Jacob. Yea, they have devoured him and consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation.
Aidino amin’ ny jentilisa izay tsy mahalala Anao ny fahatezeranao, dia amin’ ny taranaka Izay tsy miantso ny anaranao. Fa efa nihinana an’ i Jakoba ireo, eny, nihinana sy nahalevona azy ary nahalao ny fonenany.
