< Jeremiah 14 >
1 This is the word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought:
Ty tsara’ Iehovà am’ Iirmeà ty amy hasalikoañey.
2 “Judah mourns and her gates languish. Her people wail for the land, and a cry goes up from Jerusalem.
Mandala t’Iehodà, midegañe o lalam-bei’eo, ie mibotrek’ an-kontoke ty amy taney; vaho mionjoñe ty firoveta’ Ierosalaime.
3 The nobles send their servants for water; they go to the cisterns, but find no water; their jars return empty. They are ashamed and humiliated; they cover their heads.
Nirahe’ o roandriañeo o keleia’eo hitoha rano: ie pok’an-kadaha eo, tsy manjo rano; mimpoly am-binta kapaike, salatse naho daba, misaron-doha,
4 The ground is cracked because no rain has fallen on the land. The farmers are ashamed; they cover their heads.
O taneo mivarakivaraky, tsy niavy an-tane ty orañe, miolitsolitse ty mpiava, misaron-doha.
5 Even the doe in the field deserts her newborn fawn because there is no grass.
Miterak’ an-kivoke ey ka ty fanaloke, fe aforintse’e, ie tsy aman’ ahetse.
6 Wild donkeys stand on barren heights; they pant for air like jackals; their eyes fail for lack of pasture.”
Miereñereñe an-kaboan-diolio eñe ty borìke ly, misefosefo hoe fosa; milesa o maso’eo, amy te tsy eo rongoñe.
7 Although our iniquities testify against us, O LORD, act for the sake of Your name. Indeed, our rebellions are many; we have sinned against You.
Aa ndra te asisì’ o tahi’aio zahay, ry Iehovà, mitoloña ty amy tahina’oy; toe maro o fidisa-voli’aio, naho anaña’o hakeo.
8 O Hope of Israel, its Savior in times of distress, why are You like a stranger in the land, like a traveler who stays but a night?
Ry fitamà’ Israele, t’i Mpandrombak’ aze an-tsan-kaoreañe, manao akore te ihe ro manao ambahiny an-taneo, manahake ty mpitaveañe mañialo ao te haleñe?
9 Why are You like a man taken by surprise, like a warrior powerless to save? Yet You are among us, O LORD, and we are called by Your name. Do not forsake us!
Mañino irehe ro hoe ondaty daba, hoe fanalolahy tsy maharombake? F’ie añivo’ay irehe, ry Iehovà, vaho kanjieñe ami’ty tahina’o, ko aforintse’o.
10 This is what the LORD says about this people: “Truly they love to wander; they have not restrained their feet. So the LORD does not accept them; He will now remember their guilt and call their sins to account.”
Hoe t’Iehovà am’ondaty retoañe: Toe nitea’ iereo ty mirererere, tsy kinala’ iareo o fandia’eo; aa le tsy no’ Iehovà, ho tiahi’e henane zao o hakeo’eo, vaho ho lilove’e o tahi’ iareoo.
11 Then the LORD said to me, “Do not pray for the well-being of this people.
Le hoe t’Iehovà amako: Ko ihalalia’o ty hasoa’ ondaty retoa,
12 Although they may fast, I will not listen to their cry; although they may offer burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Instead, I will finish them off by sword and famine and plague.”
Ie mililitse, tsy ho tsanoñeko o fitoreo’eo; ie mañenga soroñe naho enga mahakama, tsy ho noko; te mone ho mongoreko am-pibara, naho an-kerè vaho an-kiria.
13 “Ah, Lord GOD!” I replied, “Look, the prophets are telling them, ‘You will not see the sword or suffer famine, but I will give you lasting peace in this place.’”
Le hoe iraho: Ee Talè, Iehovà! Inao ty filañona’ o mpitokio: Tsy hizò fibara nahareo, tsy ho tendreke hasalikoañe; fa ho tolorako fierañerañañe tsy modo ami’ty toetse toy.
14 “The prophets are prophesying lies in My name,” replied the LORD. “I did not send them or appoint them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a false vision, a worthless divination, the futility and delusion of their own minds.
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà amako: Mandañitse ami’ty añarako o mpitokio; tsy nahitriko tsy nililiako, tsy nivolañako; itokia’ iareo aroñarom-bande, naho sahàtse, naho raha kafoake, vaho ty famañahian-tro’ iareo avao.
15 Therefore this is what the LORD says about the prophets who prophesy in My name: I did not send them, yet they say, ‘No sword or famine will touch this land.’ By sword and famine these very prophets will meet their end!
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà: O mpitoky mitoky ami’ty añarakoo: Tsy niraheko, fe hoe ty asa’iareo: Tsy ho an-tane atoy ty vi-lava naho ty kerè. Aa le ty fibara naho ty hasalikoañe ty higadoña’ i mpitoky rey.
16 And the people to whom they prophesy will be thrown into the streets of Jerusalem because of famine and sword. There will be no one to bury them or their wives, their sons or their daughters. I will pour out their own evil upon them.
Le hahifik’ an-dala’ Ierosalaime ey ondaty itokia’ iareoo, ami’ty mosare naho amy fibaray; le tsy hanam-pandeveñe, ie naho o vali’eo, naho o ana-dahi’eo, vaho o anak’ ampela’eo; fa hadoako am’iereo ty haloloa’ iareo.
17 You are to speak this word to them: ‘My eyes overflow with tears; day and night they do not cease, for the virgin daughter of my people has been shattered by a crushing blow, a severely grievous wound.
Le isaontsio o tsara zao: Ehe te hitsiririàhan-drano maso handro an-kaleñe o masokoo; vaho ko ajihetse; amy te dinemo’ ty fanjevoañe ra’elahy i somondrara anak’ ampela’ ondatikoy, ami’ty fere mahatindry.
18 If I go out to the country, I see those slain by the sword; if I enter the city, I see those ravaged by famine! For both prophet and priest travel to a land they do not know.’”
Izaho mb’an-kivok’ añe: hehe ty zinamam-pibara, ie mimoak’ an-drova ao, ingo ty nanilofen-kerè! mikariokariok’ amy taney o mpitokio naho o mpisoroñeo fa tsy mahafohiñe.
19 Have You rejected Judah completely? Do You despise Zion? Why have You stricken us so that we are beyond healing? We hoped for peace, but no good has come, and for the time of healing, but there was only terror.
Vata’e nifarie’o hao t’Iehodà? Heje’ ty arofo’o vintañe hao ty Tsione? Ino ty nandafa’o anay ho po-pijanganañe? Ie nandiñe fanintsiñañe fe po hasoa, naho fitsaitsaihañe, te mone hankàñe.
20 We acknowledge our wickedness, O LORD, the guilt of our fathers; indeed, we have sinned against You.
Iantofa’ay ry Iehovà, o halò-tsere’aio, naho o tahin-droae’aio; toe anaña’o hakeo.
21 For the sake of Your name do not despise us; do not disgrace Your glorious throne. Remember Your covenant with us; do not break it.
Ko malaiñ’anay irehe, ty amy tahina’oy! ko mavoe’o ty fiambesan’enge’o; mahatiahia, ko ivaliha’o i fañina’o ama’aiy!
22 Can the worthless idols of the nations bring rain? Do the skies alone send showers? Is this not by You, O LORD our God? So we put our hope in You, for You have done all these things.
Ahavian’orañe hao o raha tsy jefa’ o kilakila’ndatioo? O likerañeo hao ty mampikojojoake orañe? Tsy Ihe hao, ry Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay? Tsy Ihe hao ty fitamà’ay? Toe Ihe ro Mpanao ze he’e zao!
