Jeremiah 9
1 Oh that my head were waters, and my eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
Enga anie ka ho rano ny lohako, ary ho loharanon-dranomaso ny masoko, mba hitomaniako andro aman’ alina noho ny voavono amin’ ny oloko zanakavavy!
2 Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging-place of wayfaring men, that I might leave my people, and go from them! For they are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
Enga anie ka hahita fitoerana any an-efitra aho tahaka ny fitoeran’ ny mpandeha! Dia hahafoy ny fireneko aho ka hiala aminy, satria mpijangajanga avokoa izy rehetra, eny, mpivadika miray tetika izy.
3 And they bend their tongue-their bow-for falsehood, and they have grown strong in the land, but not for truth. For they proceed from evil to evil, and they do not know me, says Jehovah.
Manenjana ny lelany toy ny fanenjana tsipìka izy mba handefa lainga. Ary tsy araka ny marina no mahahery azy etỳ ambonin’ ny tany; Fa mandroso amin’ ny ratsy ka hatramin’ ny ratsy izy, ary Izaho tsy mba fantany, hoy Jehovah.
4 Take ye heed each one of his neighbor, and trust ye not in any brother, for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will go about with slanders.
Samia miaro tena amin’ ny namany avy ianareo. Ary aza misy matoky olona na dia ny rahalahy aza; Fa ny rahalahy rehetra dia mamingana tokoa, ary ny namana rehetra mandehandeha manaratsy.
5 And they will deceive each one his neighbor, and will not speak the truth. They have taught their tongue to speak lies. They weary themselves to commit iniquity.
Izy rehetra samy mamitaka ny namany avy, ka tsy misy miteny marina; Mampianatra ny lelany handainga izy ary manasa-tena amin’ ny fanaovan-dratsy.
6 Thy habitation is in the midst of deceit. Through deceit they refuse to know me, says Jehovah.
Ny fonenanao dia ao anatin’ ny fitaka; Fitaka no nandavany tsy hahalalana Ahy, hoy Jehovah.
7 Therefore thus says Jehovah of hosts: Behold, I will melt them, and try them, for how else should I do, because of the daughter of my people?
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Indro, handrendrika sy hizaha toetra azy Aho; Fa ahoana no hataoko noho ny amin’ ny oloko zanakavavy?
8 Their tongue is a deadly arrow; it speaks deceit. He speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart he lies wait for him.
Zana-tsipìka mahafaty ny lelany ka miteny fitaka; Raha amin’ ny vavany, dia miteny fihavanana amin’ ny namany izy, kanjo ao anatiny kosa dia manao otri-po.
9 Shall I not visit them for these things? says Jehovah. Shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Tsy hovaliako va izy amin’ izany zavatra izany? hoy Jehovah, tsy hialako fo va ny firenena toy izany?
10 For the mountains I will take up a weeping and wailing, and for the pastures of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none passes through, nor can men hear the voice of the cattle. Both the birds of the heavens and the beasts have fled; they are gone.
Noho ny amin’ ny tendrombohitra no hitomaniako sy hidradradrako, ary noho ny amin’ ny kijana any an-efitra no hanaovako hira fa halahelovana, satria may izy, ka tsy misy mandeha mamaky eo aminy, ary tsy misy fimàmàn’ omby re intsony, ary na ny voro-manidina na ny bibi-dia samy efa nandositra ka lasa avokoa.
11 And I will make Jerusalem heaps, a dwelling-place of jackals. And I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.
Ary Jerosalema dia hataoko korontam-bato sy fonenan’ ny amboadia; ary ny tanànan’ ny Joda hataoko lao tsy hisy mponina.
12 Who is the wise man, who may understand this, and he to whom the mouth of Jehovah has spoken, that he may declare it? Why has the land perished and burned up like a wilderness, so that none passes through?
Iza no olon-kendry mba hahafantatra izao, sady efa nitenenan’ ny vavan’ i Jehovah mba hanambara izao? Fa nahoana no noravana ny tany sady may ho toy ny efitra, ka tsy misy mandeha mamaky eo aminy?
13 And Jehovah says, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, nor walked in it,
Ary hoy Jehovah: satria nahafoy ny lalàko izay nataoko teo anoloany izy ka tsy nankato izany ary tsy nihaino ny feoko,
14 but have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart, and after the Baalim, which their fathers taught them.
Fa nandeha araka ny ditry ny fony sy nanaraka ireo Bala araka izay nampianarin’ ny razany azy,
15 Therefore thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
Dia izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Indro, hofahanako zava-mahafaty ity firenena ity sy hampisotroiko rano mangidy;
16 I will scatter them also among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. And I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them.
Ary haeliko any amin’ izay jentilisa tsy fantany na fantatry ny razany izy; Ary hampanenjehiko azy ny sabatra ambara-pandaniko azy.
17 Thus says Jehovah of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come, and send for the skilful women, that they may come.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah. Tompon’ ny maro: Mihevera tsara, ka antsoy ireny vehivavy mpanao hira fahalahelovana mba ho avy; Eny, ampanalao ireny vehivavy mahay mba ho tonga;
18 And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.
Ary asaovy haingana ireny hanandratra fidradradradrana ho antsika, mba hampijojy ny ranomasontsika sy hampivarina ny ranomaso avy amin’ ny hodimasontsika.
19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How we are ruined! We are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because they have cast down our dwellings.
Fa misy feo midradradradra re any Ziona hoe: Indrisy! rava isika; Afa-baraka indrindra isika, satria tsy maintsy mamoy ny tany, fa efa narodana ny trano nitoerantsika.
20 Yet hear the word of Jehovah, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and each one her neighbor lamentation.
Nefa mihainoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah, ianareo vehivavy, ary aoka hohenoin’ ny sofinareo ny tenin’ ny vavany, ka ampianaro fidradradradrana ny zanakavavinareo, ary samia mampianatra hira fahalahelovana ny namany avy.
21 For death has come up into our windows. It has entered into our palaces, to cut off the sons from outside, the young men from the streets.
Fa ny fahafatesana efa nananika ny varavarankelintsika ka niditra tao an-dapantsika, mba handringana ny ankizy madinika tsy ho eny an-dalambe sy ny zatovo tsy ho eny an-kalalahana.
22 Speak, Thus says Jehovah: The dead bodies of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, and none shall gather.
Ataovy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Hiampatrampatra ny fatin’ ny olona ka ho tonga tahaka ny zezika eny an-tsaha sy tahaka ny amboara nilaozan’ ny mpijinja, Izay tsy misy manangona azy.
23 Thus says Jehovah: Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, nor let the mighty man glory in his might. Let not the rich man glory in his riches,
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Aoka ny hendry tsy hirehareha amin’ ny fahendreny, ary aoka ny mahery tsy hirehareha amin’ ny heriny, ary aoka ny manan-karena tsy hirehareha amin’ ny hareny;
24 but let him who boasts boast in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am Jehovah who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness, in the earth. For in these things I delight, says Jehovah.
Fa izay te-hirehareha dia aoka hirehareha amin’ izao: Dia ny fahendreny sy ny fahalalany Ahy ho Jehovah, Izay manao famindram-po sy fitsarana marina ary fahamarinana etỳ ambonin’ ny tany; fa izany no sitrako, hoy Jehovah.
25 Behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that I will punish all those who are circumcised in their uncircumcision:
Indro, avy ny andro, hoy Jehovah, izay hamaliako ny voafora rehetra mbamin’ ny tsy voafora koa,
26 Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the sons of Ammon, and Moab, and all who have the corners of their hair cut off, who dwell in the wilderness. For all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in heart.
Dia Egypta sy Joda sy Edoma sy ny taranak’ i Amona ary Moaba mbamin’ izay rehetra voahety sisim-bolo, izay monina any an-efitra; Fa ny jentilisa rehetra dia tsy voafora, ary ny taranak’ Isiraely rehetra kosa dia tsy voafora fo.
