Jeremias 6
1 Strengthen yourselves, ye children of Benjamin, [to flee] out of the midst of Jerusalem, and sound an alarm with the trumpet in Thecue, and set up a signal over Baethacharma: for evil threatens from the north, and a great destruction is coming.
Mipitsiha mb’am-pipalirañe mb’eo ry ana’ i Beniamineo, boak’ an-teñateña’ Ierosalaime ao; popòho e Tekoa añe i antsivay, vaho ampitroaro fanairañe e Bete-hak’kereme eñe; fa hirik’ avaratse ty hankàñe, ty fandrotsahañe jabajaba.
2 And [thy] pride, O daughter of Sion, shall be taken away.
I soa vintañe naho malemey, i anak’ampela’ i Tsioney ro haitoako.
3 The shepherds and their flocks shall come to her; and they shall pitch [their] tents against her round about, and shall feed [their flocks] each with his hand.
Hivotrak’ ama’e o mpiarakeo rekets’ o lia-rai’eo, hampitroatse fiarikatohañe ami’ty kivoho’ iareo, le songa hiandrazañe an-toe’e.
4 Prepare yourselves for war against her; rise up, and let us go up against her at noon. Woe to us! for the day has gone down, for the shadows of the day fail.
Ihentseño aly; miongaha hanameantika aze an-tsingilingiliñeñe. Feh’ ohatse amantika, fa miroñe i àndroy, mihalava o talinjon-karivao!
5 Rise, and let us go up against her by night, and destroy her foundations.
Miavota hanamean-tika haleñe, handrotsahantika o anjomba’eo!
6 For thus saith the Lord, Hew down her trees, array a numerous force against Jerusalem. O false city; [there is] all oppression in her.
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Firao o hatae’eo; atroaro am’Ierosalaime ty fanongàm-panameañe; toe rova tsy mete tsy lilovañe, fa forekeke avao ty ama’e ao.
7 As a cistern cools water, so her wickedness cools her, ungodliness and misery shall be heard in her, [as] continually before her.
Manahake ty fitana’ o vovoñeo ty hamamin-drano’e, ty fitana’e ho veloñe o haloloa’eo; janjiñeñe ama’e ao ty tazataza naho ty tsiborohetoke; añatrefako eo nainai’e ty hasiloke naho ty fere.
8 Thou shalt be chastened, O Jerusalem, with pain and the scourge, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee a desert land, which shall not be inhabited.
Mitaoa ry Ierosalaime, kera ho alik’amako nahareo, ie hampangoakoaheko ho tane tsy amam-pimoneñe.
9 For thus saith the Lord, Glean, glean thoroughly as a vine the remnant of Israel: turn back [your hands] as a grape-gatherer to his basket.
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Ho vata’e tsindrohe’iareo ty sisa’ Israele hambañe amy t’ie vahe; ozaño am-pita’o indraike i tsampa’ey manahake ty mpanifo valoboke.
10 To whom shall I speak, and testify, that he may hearken? behold, thine ears are uncircumcised, and they shall not be able to hear: behold, the word of the Lord is become to them a reproach, they will not at all desire it.
Ia ty ho volañeko naho hatahataeko, hahafijanjiña’ iareo? Hehe, domoke o ravembia’ iareoo, tsy mahatsendreñe; Hete! fañinjeañe am’iereo ty tsara’ Iehovà, tsy mahafale’ iareo.
11 And I allowed my wrath to come to full, yet I kept [it] in, and did not utterly destroy them: I will pour it out on the children without, and on the assembly of young men together: for man and woman shall be taken together, the old man with him that is full of days.
Fe lifo’ ty fiforoforo’ Iehovà iraho; mahamokotse ahy ty mitañ’aze; adoaño amo ajaja an-dalañeo, naho amo ajalahy mifañosoñeo; songa ho rambeseñe ie mirovaly, o zoke’eo rekets’ o androanavio.
12 And their houses shall be turned to others, [with] their fields and their wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of this land, saith the Lord.
Ho limbeze’ ty ila’e o anjomba’iareoo, o tetekeo miharo amo rakemba’ iareoo; fa hatora-kitsiko amo mpimoneñe amy taneio ty tañako, hoe t’Iehovà.
13 For from the least of them even to the greatest they have all committed iniquity; from the priest even to the false prophet they have all wrought falsely.
Songa mitavañe hitomboa’e ty tsitso’e am’iareo pak’ami’ty loho bey; fonga mpikatramo ty mpitoky sikal’ami’ty mpisoroñe.
14 And they healed the breach of my people [imperfectly], making light [of it], and saying, Peace, peace, and where is peace?
Nitaha’ iareo tsidaredare ty fere’ ondatikoo, ami’ty hoe, Fañanintsiñe, Fañanintsiñe, ie tsy eo ty Fanintsiñañe.
15 They were ashamed because they failed; yet they were not ashamed as those who are [truly] ashamed, and they knew not their own disgrace: therefore shall they [utterly] fall when they do fall, and in the time of visitation shall they perish, said the Lord.
Toko’e ho nahasalatse iereo ty hativàñe nanoe’iereo, f’ie tsy mahay meñatse. Aa le hikorovoke amo mikorovokeo amy androm-pandilovañey iereo, vaho hitsikapy, hoe t’Iehovà.
16 Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths of the Lord; and see what is the good way, and walk in it, and ye shall find purification for your souls. But they said, We will not walk [in them].
Hoe t’Iehovà: Mijohaña an-dala mifanivalañe eo le mahaisaha, mañontanea o oloñoloñe haehaeo, te aia i lalam-bantañey; vaho añavelò, hahatendreha’ areo fitofan’ arofo. Fa hoe iareo: Zahay tsy homb’eo.
17 I have set watchmen over you, [saying], Hear ye the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hear [it].
Mbore nampitroarako mpijilo, nanao ty hoe: Haoño ty feo’ i antsivay! Hoe ka iereo: Zahay tsy hañaoñe.
18 Therefore have the nations heard, and they that feed their flocks.
Aa le mijanjiña ry fifeheañeo vaho mahafohina ry valobohòkeo, ty haseseke am’iareo:
19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evils upon this people, [even] the fruit of their rebellions; for they have not heeded my words, and they have rejected my law.
Tsanoño ry tane; Inao! handesako hankàñe ondaty retoa, ty toli’ o fikinià’ iareoo, amy t’ie tsy nañaoñe o volakoo; mbore nifarie’ iareo i Fanoroakoy.
20 Wherefore do ye bring me frankincense from Saba, and cinnamon from a land afar off? your whole-burnt-offerings are not acceptable, and your sacrifices have not been pleasant to me.
Hanoeko inoñe o rame boake Sebao, naho o fare boake tsietoitaneo? Tsy noko o enga’ oroa’ areoo, tsy mahafale ahy o fisoroña’ areoo.
21 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I [will] bring weakness upon this people, and the fathers and sons shall be weak together; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà: Hehe te mampipoke vato mahatsikapy aolo’ ondaty retoa iraho, hampitsikapy roae reketse keleiañe; fonga ho mongotse ty mpimoneñe miharo rañetse.
22 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, a people comes from the north, and nations shall be stirred up from the end of the earth.
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà: Heheke, ondaty mangovovoke mb’etoy boak’an-tane avaratseo, fifeheañe jabajaba ty hahetseketseke boake tsietoimoneñe añe.
23 They shall lay hold on bow and spear; [the people] is fierce, and will have no mercy; their voice is as the roaring sea; they shall array themselves for war against thee as fire on horses and chariots, O daughter of Sion.
Vontitire’ iareo ty fale naho ty lefoñe, masiake iereo, tsy miferenay, manahake ty fitroña’ i riakey ty fikoraha’ iareo; naho miningitse soavala, miriritse hoe lahin-defo miatrek’aly, ama’o ry anak’ ampela’ i Tsione!
24 We have heard the report of them: our hands are weakened: anguish has seized us, the pangs as of a woman in travail.
Ie nitsanoña’ay talily, dredra’e o taña’aio; mamihiñe anay ty lovilovy, ty haorean-drakemba mitsongo.
25 Go not forth into the field, and walk not in the ways; for the sword of the enemy lingers round about.
Ko miakatse mb’an-tetek’ ao, ko mañavelo an-damoke eo; amy te mampiboele harevendreveñañe mb’etia mb’atia ty fibara’ i rafelahiy.
26 O daughter of my people, gird thyself with sackcloth: sprinkle [thyself] with ashes; make for thyself pitiable lamentation, [as] the mourning for a beloved [son]: for misery will come suddenly upon you.
O ry anak’ ampela’ ondatiko, misikìna gony, vaho milalilalia an-davenoke; miroveta hoe t’ie bako tokañe, mandalà añ’aferon’ate, amy te hivovò amantika i mpandrotsakey.
27 I have caused thee to be tried among tried nations, and thou shalt know me when I have tried their way.
Nanoeko mpañasohaso naho mpitsòke am’ondatikoo irehe, hahafohina’o naho hitsikaraha’o o sata’eo.
28 [They are] all disobedient, walking perversely: [they are] brass and iron; they are all corrupted.
Fonga mpiola manjehatse iereo, mb’eo mb’eo mamokafoka avao; torisìke naho viñe, songa tsivokatse.
29 The bellows have failed from the fire, the lead has failed: the silversmith works at his trade in vain; their wickedness is not consumed.
Mitioke mafe o famoforañeo, forototoe’ ty afo i firakey, tsy lefe ty fitoloñam-pitranahañe, amy te tsy mete ho faoheñe ama’e o halò-tserehañeo.
30 Call ye them reprobate silver, because the Lord has rejected them.
Atao ty hoe taim-bolafoty iereo, amy te naforintse’ Iehovà.
