< Jeremiah 18 >
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
Ty tsara niheo am’ Iirmeà boak’ am’ Iehovà, manao ty hoe:
2 Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.
Miongaha, mizotsoa mb’an-kiboho’ i mpanao valàñe-taney mb’eo, le hampijanjiñeko azo eo o entakoo.
3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he was making a work on the wheels.
Aa le nizotso mb’añ’anjomba’ i mpanao valàñe taney mb’eo, le nizoeko eo re nifanehak’ amo larò’eo.
4 And when the vessel that he made of the clay was marred in the hand of the potter, he made it another vessel again, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
Aa ndra mbia’mbia aman-kandra i valàñe am-pità’ i mpanao valàñe-taneiy, le namboare’e indraike ho valàñe hafa, ty amy ze natao’ i mpanao valàñe taney soa hanoeñe.
5 Then the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe:
6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? says Jehovah. Behold, as the clay in the potter's hand, so are ye in my hand, O house of Israel.
Ry anjomba’ Israele, Aa vaho tsy mete hanoeko ama’ areo hao ty sata’ i mpanao valàñe-taney? hoe t’Iehovà. Ingo, te hambañe ami’ty lietse am-pità’ i mpanao valàñe taneio, inahareo an-tañako, ry anjomba’ Israele.
7 At that instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy it,
Ie volañako ami’ty fifeheañe, naho ami’ty fifelehañe, t’ie haombotse, naho harotsake, vaho hahomake,
8 if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turns from their evil, I will relent of the evil that I thought to do to them.
fe iambohoa’ i fifeheañe nafàkoy o hatsivokara’eo, le hivalik’amy raty ho nafetsako ama’ey.
9 And at that instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it,
Le ie volañeko i fifeheañe naho ty fifelehañe, t’ie harafetse naho haoreñe;
10 if they do that which is evil in my sight, that they obey not my voice, then I will relent of the good with which I said I would benefit them.
f’ie manao raty amasoko eo, tsy mañaoñe ty feoko; le haneñenako i soa nitaroñeko hitahiako azey.
11 Now therefore, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus says Jehovah: Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you. Return ye now everyone from his evil way, and amend your ways and your doings.
Aa le saontsio am’ondati’ Iehodào, naho amo mpimoneñe e Ierosalaimeo, ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà: Inao, hañajariako hankàñe, naho ikitrohako hekoheko; Mitoliha! songa amy fitsilea’e tsy vokatsey, vaho ovao o sata’ areoo naho o fitoloña’ areoo.
12 But they say, It is in vain. For we will walk after our own devices, and we will do everyone according to the stubbornness of his evil heart.
Fa hoe iereo: Famoeam-piay izay; fa hañavelo amo fisafiria’aio zahay, sindre hañorike ty fanjeharan’arofo’e.
13 Therefore thus says Jehovah: Ask ye now among the nations, Who has heard such things? The virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing.
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà: Añontaneo amo fifeheañeo henaneo, ia ty nahajanjiñe i hoe zay; toe nanao halatsàñe i somondrara ana’ Israeley.
14 Shall the snow of Lebanon fail from the rock of the field? Or shall the cold waters that flow down from afar be dried up?
Hipotak’ amy vato an-kivokey hao ty fanala’ i Lebanone? Mb’ia te nasintake i rano manintsy mikararake boak’añ’ambahiniy?
15 For my people have forgotten me. They have burned incense to false gods. And they have been made to stumble in their ways, in the ancient paths, to walk in bypaths, in a way not cast up,
Fe nandikok’ ahy ondatikoo, nañembok’ an-drahare tsy vente’e; nampitsikapy iareo amo lala’eo, amo lalan-taoloo, hitsilea’ iareo añ’oloñoloñe ao, fa tsy an-dàmoke;
16 to make their land an astonishment, and a perpetual hissing, everyone who passes by it shall be astonished, and shake his head.
Hanoeñe halatsañe ty tane’ iareo, fikosihañe nainai’e; Songa ho vereñe ty mioza ama’e, vaho hikofikofi-doha.
17 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy. I will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.
Haboeleko manahake t’ie an-tioke atiñanañe añatrefa’ o rafelahi’ iareoo; hiambohoako, fa tsy hampiatrefako laharañe, amy androm-peh’ohatsey.
18 Then they said, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah. For the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.
Le hoe iereo, Antao hikitro-draha am’ Iirmeà; fa tsy ho modo amo mpisoroñeo ty Hàke naho amo mpitokio i tsaray. Antao hanjevoñe aze am-pameleke, fa leo raik’ amo enta’eo tsy ho haoñen-tika.
19 Give heed to me, O Jehovah, and hearken to the voice of those who contend with me.
Haoño iraho ry Iehovà, vaho janjiño ty feo’ o mpikilily ahikoo.
20 Shall evil be recompensed for good? For they have dug a pit for my soul. Remember how I stood before thee to speak good for them, to turn away thy wrath from them.
Ty raty hao ty añavahañe ty soa? amy te nihalia’ iareo koboñe ty fiaiko. Tiahio i niongahako añatrefa’o eo nitaliliako hasoa, hampiholiarañe iareo amy haviñera’oy.
21 Therefore deliver up their sons to the famine, and give them over to the power of the sword, and let their wives become childless, and widows, and let their men be slain of death, and their young men smitten of the sword in battle.
Aa le aseseo mb’an-kerè o keleia’eo, ampikovovoho mb’an-kaozara’ i fibaray mb’eo; le ampifandalao o ana’eo o rakembao ho ramavoiñe; naho ampizevo hivetrake ondati’eo, vaho ampitrobahem-pibara an-kotakotak’ ao o ajalahi’iareoo.
22 Let a cry be heard from their houses when thou shall bring a troop suddenly upon them, for they have dug a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.
Ee te ho janjiñeñe boak’añ’anjomba’ iareo ty kaikaike, ie ampivovoa’o firimboñan-dahin-defoñe; amy te nihalia’ iareo koboñe hitsepak’ ahy, vaho nañetaha’ iareo fandrike o tombokoo.
23 Yet, Jehovah, thou know all their counsel against me to kill me. Do not forgive their iniquity, nor blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee. Deal thou with them in the time of thine anger.
Fe arofoana’o, ry Iehovà, ze hene fikililia’ iareo hañè-doza amako, ko ihevean-kakeo vaho ko faopaohe’o tsy ho añatrefa’o o tahi’iareoo; f’ie rotsaho aolo’o eo, ondroho amy andron-kaviñera’oy.
