< Jeremias 13 >

1 Thus saith the Lord, Go and procure for thyself a linen girdle, and put it about thy loins, and let it not be put in water.
Izao no nolazain’ i Jehovah tamiko: Andeha mividy fehin-kibo rongony ho anao, ka ifehezo ny kibonao, fa aza atao anaty rano.
2 So I procured the girdle according to the word of the Lord, and put it about my loins.
Dia nividy fehin-kibo aho araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah ka nifehezako ny kiboko.
3 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Ary tonga tamiko fanindroany ny tenin’ i Jehovah hoe:
4 Take the girdle that is upon thy loins, and arise, and go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.
Ento ny fehin-kibo izay novidinao, dia ilay ifehezanao ny kibonao, ka mitsangana, mankanesa any Eofrata, ary afeno ao an-tsefatsefaky ny harambato izy.
5 So I went, and hid it by the Euphrates, as the Lord commanded me.
Ka dia nandeha aho, ary nafeniko tao amoron’ i Eofrata izy, araka ny nandidian’ i Jehovah ahy.
6 And it came to pass after many days, that the Lord said to me, Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take thence the girdle, which I commanded thee to hide there.
Ary nony afaka andro maro, dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Mitsangana, ka mankanesa any Eofrata, ary alao any ny fehin-kibo, dia ilay nasaiko nafeninao tany.
7 So I went to the river Euphrates, and dug, and took the girdle out of the place where I [had] buried it: and, behold, it was rotten, utterly good for nothing.
Dia nankany Eofrata aho ka nihady, ary nalaiko tao amin’ ny fitoerana nanafenako azy ilay fehin-kibo; kanjo, indro, simba ny fehin-kibo ka tsy azo natao na inona na inona intsony.
8 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Thus saith the Lord,
Dia tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah hoe:
9 Thus will I mar the pride of Juda, and the pride of Jerusalem;
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Tahaka izany no hanimbako ny avonavon’ ny Joda sy ny haben’ ny avonavon’ i Jerosalema.
10 [even] this great pride [of the men] that will not hearken to my words, and have gone after strange gods, to serve them, and to worship them: and they shall be as this girdle, which can be used for nothing.
Ity firenena ratsy ity, izay tsy mety mihaino ny teniko, fa mandeha amin’ ny ditry ny fony ka manaraka andriamani-kafa mba hotompoiny sy hiankohofany, dia ho tahaka ity fehin-kibo ity, izay tsy azo atao na inona na inona intsony.
11 For as a girdle cleaves about the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave to myself the house of Israel, and the whole house of Juda; that they might be to me a famous people, and a praise, and a glory: but they did not hearken to me.
Fa toy ny firaikitry ny fehin-kibo amin’ ny valahan’ ny olona no nampiraiketako ny taranak’ Isiraely sy ny taranak’ i Joda rehetra tamiko, hoy Jehovah, mba ho olona sy anarana sy fiderana ary voninahitra ho Ahy ireny Kanjo tsy nety nihaino izy.
12 And thou shalt say to this people, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and it shall come to pass, if they shall say to thee, Shall we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine? that thou shalt say to them,
Ary izao teny izao dia lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Ny tavoara rehetra dia feno divay; ary izy hanao aminao hoe: Moa tsy efa fantatray ihany va fa feno divay ny tavoara rehetra?
13 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I [will] fill the inhabitants of this land, and their kings the sons of David that sit upon their throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and Juda and all the dwellers in Jerusalem, with strong drink.
Dia holazainao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, hataoko leony ny mponina rehetra amin’ ity tany ity, dia ny mpanjaka, izay mipetraka amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ i Davida, sy ny mpisorona sy ny mpaminany ary ny mponina rehetra any Jerosalema.
14 And I will scatter them a man and his brother, and their fathers and their sons together: I will not have compassion, saith the Lord, and I will not spare, neither will I pity [to save them] from destruction.
Ary hampifamohiko izy, dia ny ray mbamin’ ny zanany, hoy Jehovah; Tsy hiantra Aho, na hitsitsy, na hamindra fo tsy handringana azy.
15 Hear ye, and give ear, and be not proud: for the Lord has spoken.
Mandrenesa ka mihainoa, aza miavonavona; Fa Jehovah no miteny.
16 Give glory to the Lord your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and ye shall wait for light, and behold the shadow of death, and they shall be brought into darkness.
Manomeza voninahitra an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, dieny tsy mbola mahatonga ny maizina Izy, ary dieny tsy mbola tafintohina amin’ ny tendrombohitra maizimaizina ny tongotrareo, ka raha miandry ny mazava ianareo, dia hataony tonga ho aloky ny fahafatesana, ka hampodiny ho aizim-pito.
17 But if ye will not hearken, your soul shall weep in secret because of pride, and your eyes shall pour down tears, because the Lord's flock is sorely bruised.
Fa raha tsy hihaino izany ianareo. Dia hitomany any amin’ ny mangingina ny fanahiko, satria misy fiavonavonana; Eny, ny masoko hamarin-dranomaso hijononoka be, satria voababo ny ondrin’ i Jehovah.
18 Say ye to the king and the princes, Humble yourselves, and sit down; for your crown of glory is removed from your head.
Lazao amin’ ny andriamanjaka sy ny reniny hoe: Mitombena amin’ ny tany; Fa ho afaka ny firavaka eo an-dohanareo, dia ny satro-boninahitrareo tsara tarehy.
19 The cities toward the south were shut, and there was none to open [them]: Juda is removed [into captivity, ]they have suffered a complete removal.
Voarindrina ny tanàna any amin’ ny tany atsimo, ka tsy misy mamoha; Lasan-ko babo Joda, eny, lasan-ko babo avokoa izy rehetra.
20 Lift up thine eyes, O Jerusalem, and behold them that come from the north; where is the flock that was given thee, the sheep of thy glory?
Atopazy ny masonareo, ka tazano izay avy any avaratra; Aiza ny ondry andiany izay nomena anao, dia ny ondrinao tsara tarehy?
21 What wilt thou say when they shall visit thee, for thou didst teach them lessons for rule against thyself; shall not pangs seize thee as a woman in travail?
Ahoana re no holazainao, raha tendreny hanapaka anao ireny sakaizanao ireny, fa ianao ihany no nampianatra azy handrafy anao? Tsy hahazo anao va ny fanaintainana toy ny vehivavy raha miteraka?
22 And if thou shouldest say in thine heart, Wherefore have these things happened to me? Because of the abundance of thine iniquity have thy skirts been discovered, that thine heels might be exposed.
Ary raha manao anakampo ianao hoe: ahoana no nahatonga izao tamiko? Noho ny haben’ ny helokao no nampiaingana ny moron-tongotr’ akanjonao sy nandratrana ny ombelahin-tongotrao.
23 If the Ethiopian shall change his skin, or the leopardess her spots, then shall ye be able to do good, having learnt evil.
Moa mahova ny hodiny va ny Etiopiana, ary ny leoparda va mahova ny sorany? Raha izany, dia mahazo manao tsara koa ianareo izay efa zatra nanao ratsy.
24 So I scattered them as sticks carried by the wind into the wilderness.
Koa dia haeliko izy toy ny vodivary indaosin’ ny rivotra avy any an-efitra.
25 Thus is thy lot, and the reward of your disobedience to me, saith the Lord; as thou didst forget me, and trust in lies,
Izany no lokanao, dia anjara voarefy ho anao, hoy Jehovah, Satria nanadino Ahy ianao ka nitoky tamin’ ny lainga.
26 I also will expose thy skirts upon thy face, and thy shame shall be seen;
Ary Izaho kosa dia hampiainga ny moron-tongotr’ akanjonao ho eny amin’ ny tavanao, mba hisehoan’ ny henatrao.
27 thine adultery also, and thy neighing, and the looseness of thy fornication: on the hills and in the fields I have seen thine abominations. Woe to thee, O Jerusalem, for thou hast not been purified so as to follow me; how long yet [shall it be]?
Ny fijangajanganao sy ny fanenonao, ny fahavetavetan’ ny fijejojejoanao any amin’ ny havoana any an-tsaha, eny, samy efa hitako avokoa ireo fahavetavetanao ireo. Lozanao, ry Jerosalema! Mandra-pahoviana no mbola tsy hetezanao hanadio ny tenanao?
