Jeremiah 18
1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
Ty tsara niheo am’ Iirmeà boak’ am’ Iehovà, manao ty hoe:
2 “Go down at once to the potter’s house, and there I will reveal My message to you.”
Miongaha, mizotsoa mb’an-kiboho’ i mpanao valàñe-taney mb’eo, le hampijanjiñeko azo eo o entakoo.
3 So I went down to the potter’s house and saw him working at the wheel.
Aa le nizotso mb’añ’anjomba’ i mpanao valàñe taney mb’eo, le nizoeko eo re nifanehak’ amo larò’eo.
4 But the vessel that he was shaping from the clay became flawed in his hand; so he formed it into another vessel, as it seemed best for him to do.
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 the LORD came to me, saying,
Le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe:
6 “O house of Israel, declares the LORD, can I not treat you as this potter treats his clay? Just like clay in the potter’s hand, so are you 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 any time I might announce that a nation or kingdom will be uprooted, torn down, and destroyed.
Ie volañako ami’ty fifeheañe, naho ami’ty fifelehañe, t’ie haombotse, naho harotsake, vaho hahomake,
8 But if that nation I warned turns from its evil, then I will relent of the disaster I had planned to bring.
fe iambohoa’ i fifeheañe nafàkoy o hatsivokara’eo, le hivalik’amy raty ho nafetsako ama’ey.
9 And if at another time I announce that I will build up and establish a nation or kingdom,
Le ie volañeko i fifeheañe naho ty fifelehañe, t’ie harafetse naho haoreñe;
10 and if it does evil in My sight and does not listen to My voice, then I will relent of the good I had intended for it.
f’ie manao raty amasoko eo, tsy mañaoñe ty feoko; le haneñenako i soa nitaroñeko hitahiako azey.
11 Now therefore, tell the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem that this is what the LORD says: ‘Behold, I am planning a disaster for you and devising a plan against you. Turn now, each of you, from your evil ways, and correct your ways and deeds.’
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 will reply, ‘It is hopeless. We will follow our own plans, and each of us will act 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 this is what the LORD says: “Inquire among the nations: Who has ever heard things like these? Virgin Israel has done a most terrible thing.
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà: Añontaneo amo fifeheañeo henaneo, ia ty nahajanjiñe i hoe zay; toe nanao halatsàñe i somondrara ana’ Israeley.
14 Does the snow of Lebanon ever leave its rocky slopes? Or do its cool waters flowing from a distance ever run dry?
Hipotak’ amy vato an-kivokey hao ty fanala’ i Lebanone? Mb’ia te nasintake i rano manintsy mikararake boak’añ’ambahiniy?
15 Yet My people have forgotten Me. They burn incense to worthless idols that make them stumble in their ways, leaving the ancient roads to walk on rutted bypaths instead of on the highway.
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 They have made their land a desolation, a perpetual object of scorn; all who pass by will be appalled and shake their heads.
Hanoeñe halatsañe ty tane’ iareo, fikosihañe nainai’e; Songa ho vereñe ty mioza ama’e, vaho hikofikofi-doha.
17 I will scatter them before the enemy like the east wind. I will show them My back and not My 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 some said, “Come, let us make plans against Jeremiah, for the law will never be lost to the priest, nor counsel to the wise, nor an oracle to the prophet. Come, let us denounce him and pay no 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 Attend to me, O LORD. Hear what my accusers are saying!
Haoño iraho ry Iehovà, vaho janjiño ty feo’ o mpikilily ahikoo.
20 Should good be repaid with evil? Yet they have dug a pit for me. Remember how I stood before You to speak good on their behalf, to turn Your 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, hand their children over to famine; pour out the power of the sword upon them. Let their wives become childless and widowed; let their husbands be slain by disease, their young men struck down by 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 You suddenly bring raiders against them, for they have dug a pit to capture me and have hidden 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 But You, O LORD, know all their deadly plots against me. Do not wipe out their guilt or blot out their sin from Your sight. Let them be overthrown before You; deal with them in the time of Your 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.
