Jeremias 4
1 If Israel will return to me, says the Lord, he shall return: and if he will remove his abominations out of his mouth, and fear before me, and swear,
Raha hiverina ianao, ry Isiraely, hoy Jehovah, dia ho amiko no hiverenanao, ary raha hanaisotra ny fahavetavetanao tsy ho eo imasoko ianao, dia tsy hivezivezy foana,
2 The Lord lives, with truth, in judgement and righteousness, then shall nations bless by him, and by him they shall praise God in Jerusalem.
Fa hianiana amin’ ny hitsiny sy ny rariny ary ny fahamarinana hoe: Raha velona koa Jehovah, dia Izy no holazain’ ny firenena ho fahasambarany, ary Izy no ho reharehany.
3 For thus says the Lord to the men of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Break up fresh ground for yourselves, and sow not amongst thorns.
Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah amin’ ny Joda sy Jerosalema: Hevoy ny tombamborakareo, fa aza mamafy amin’ ny tsilo.
4 Circumcise yourselves to your God, and circumcise your hardness of heart, you men of Juda, and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my wrath go forth as fire, and burn, and there be none to quench it, because of the evil of your devices.
Miforà ho an’ i Jehovah ianareo, eny, forao ny fonareo, ry Joda sy ry mponina any Jerosalema! Fandrao hiseho toy ny afo ny fahatezerako noho ny faharatsian’ ny ataonareo ka hirehitra, sady tsy hisy hamono azy.
5 Declare you in Juda, and let it be heard in Jerusalem: say you, Sound the trumpet in the land; cry you aloud: say you, Gather yourselves together, and let us enter into the fortified cities.
Ambaraonareo ao amin’ ny Joda, ary torio ao Jerosalema, ka ataovy hoe: Tsofy ao amin’ ny tany ny anjomara; Miantsoantsoa mafy, ka ataovy hoe: Mivoria ianareo, ka andeha isika hiditra amin’ ny tanàna mimanda.
6 Gather up [your wares] and flee to Sion: hasten, stay not: for I will bring evils from the north, and great destruction.
Manangàna faneva manandrify an’ i Ziona; Mandosira faingana, aza mijanona; Fa Izaho hahatonga loza sy fandringanana be avy any avaratra.
7 The lion is gone up from his lair, he has roused [himself] to the destruction of the nations, and has gone forth out of his place, to make the land desolate; and the cities shall be destroyed, so as to be without inhabitant.
Misy liona miakatra avy any anaty kirihitrala, ary ilay mpanimba ny firenena dia efa miainga, efa mivoaka avy amin’ ny fitoerany hahafoana ny taninao, ary hahalao ny tanànanao, ka tsy hisy mponina.
8 For these things gird yourselves with sackcloth, and lament, and howl: for the anger of the Lord is not turned away from you.
Ary noho izany dia misikìna lamba fisaonana ianareo, ka mitomania sy midradradradrà; Fa ny firehetan’ ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah tsy afaka amintsika.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be amazed, and the prophets shall wonder.
Ary amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah, dia ho very hevitra ny mpanjaka sy ny lehibe, ary ho kepoka ny mpisorona, sy ho gaga ny mpaminany.
10 And I said, O sovereign Lord, verily you have deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, There shall be peace; whereas behold, the sword has reached even to their soul.
Dia hoy izaho: Indrisy, Jehovah Tompo ô! Efa nofitahinao tokoa ity firenena ity sy Jerosalema tamin’ ny nanaovanao hoe: Hisy fiadanana ho anareo; Kanjo mihatra amin’ ny aina ny sabatra.
11 At that time they shall say to this people and to Jerusalem, [There is] a spirit of error in the wilderness: the way of the daughter of my people is not to purity, nor to holiness.
Amin’ izany andro izany dia holazaina amin’ ity firenena ity sy Jerosalema hoe: Hisy rivo-mahamay avy any an-tendrombohitra mangadihady any an-efitra hankamin’ ny oloko zanakavavy, kanefa tsy hikororohana na hanadiovana.
12 [But] a spirit of full vengeance shall come upon me; and now I declare my judgements against them.
Dia ho tonga avy amiko izay rivotra mahery noho ireny; Ary ankehitriny Izaho kosa hifandahatra aminy.
13 Behold, he shall come up as a cloud, and his chariots as a tempest: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us! for we are in misery.
Indro, avy toy ny rahona izy, Ary tahaka ny tadio ny kalesiny, faingana noho ny voromahery ny soavaliny; Lozantsika! fa lany ringana isika.
14 Cleanse your heart from wickedness, O Jerusalem, that you may be saved: how long will your grievous thoughts be within you?
Ry Jerosalema, sasao ny fonao ho afaka amin’ ny ratsy, mba hovonjena ianao! Mandra-pahoviana no hitoeran’ ny hevi-dratsinao ao am-ponao?
15 For a voice of one publishing from Dan shall come, and trouble out of mount Ephraim shall be heard of.
Fa injany! misy feo manambara avy any Dana sy filazam-pahoriana avy amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima,
16 Remind you the nations; behold, they are come: proclaim [it] in Jerusalem, that bands are approaching from a land afar off, and have uttered their voice against the cities of Juda.
Lazaonareo amin’ ny firenena, torio amin’ i Jerosalema hoe: Misy mpanao fahirano avy any an-tany lavitra ka manakora hamely ny tanànan’ ny Joda.
17 As keepers of a field, they have surrounded her; because you, says the Lord, has neglected me.
Manodidina azy ireo toy ny fanaon’ ny mpiandry saha, fa efa niodina tamiko izy, hoy Jehovah.
18 Your ways and your devices have brought these things upon you; this is your wickedness, for [it is] bitter, for it has reached to your heart.
Ny alehanao sy ny asanao no nahatonga izany taminao; Izany no faharatsianao, eny, mangidy izany sady mihatra amin’ ny ainao.
19 I am pained in my bowels, my bowels, and the sensitive powers of my heart; my soul is in great commotion, my heart is torn: I will not be silent, for my soul has heard the sound of a trumpet, the cry of war, and of distress: it calls on destruction;
Endrey ny kiboko! Endrey izany kiboko! Manaintaina aho; Endrey! mila ho triatra izany ny foko! Mitoloko ny foko, ka tsy mahay mangìna aho; Fa ny feon’ anjomara sy ny akoran’ ady dia renao, ry fanahiko.
20 for all the land is distressed: suddenly [my] tabernacle is distressed, my curtains have been tore asunder.
Fandravana mifanontona no ambara, rava ny tany rehetra; Rava tampoka ny laiko, eny, rava indray mipi-maso monja ny ambain-daiko.
21 How long shall I see fugitives, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
Mandra-pahoviana re no mbola hijereko ny faneva sy handrenesako ny feon’ anjomara?
22 For the princes of my people have not known me, they are foolish and unwise children: they are wise to do evil, but [how] to do good they have not known.
Fa adala ny oloko, Izaho tsy mba fantany; Zaza tsy misy saina izy sady tsy manam-pahalalana; Raha ny hanao ratsy, dia hendry izy; Fa ny hanao soa kosa tsy fantany.
23 I looked upon the earth, and, behold, [it was] not; and to the sky, an there was no light in it.
Nojereko ny tany, ka, indro, tsy nisy endrika izy sady foana, ary ny lanitra koa, ka, indro, tsy nanam-pahazavana izy;
24 I saw the mountains, and they trembled, and [I saw] all the hills in commotion.
Nojereko ny tendrombohitra, ka, indro, nihorohoro izy, ary ny havoana rehetra nihozongozona;
25 I looked, and behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the sky were scared.
Nojereko, ka, indro, tsy nisy olona, ary ny voro-manidina rehetra efa nandositra;
26 I saw, and, behold, Carmel was desert, and all the cities were burnt with fire at the presence of the Lord, and at the presence of his fierce anger they were utterly destroyed.
Nojereko, ka, indro, ny saha mahavokatra aza efa tonga efitra, ary ny tanànany rehetra dia rava teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, dia teo anoloan’ ny firehetan’ ny fahatezerany.
27 Thus says the Lord, The whole land shall be desolate; but I will not make a full end.
Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Ho lao ny tany rehetra, nefa tsy dia holevoniko avokoa izy.
28 For these things let the earth mourn, and let the sky be dark above: for I have spoken, and I will not repent; I have purposed, and I will not turn back from it.
Noho izany dia hisaona ny tany, ary ho tonga mainty ny lanitra ambony, satria efa niteny izany Aho, sady efa nikasa izany ka tsy hanenina na hanatsoaka izany.
29 The whole land has recoiled from the noise of the horseman and the bent bow; they have gone into the caves, and have hidden themselves in the groves, and have gone up upon the rocks: every city was abandoned, no man lived in them.
Noho ny fihorakoraky ny mpitaingin-tsoavaly sy ny mpandefa tsipìka dia efa mandositra avokoa ny tanàna rehetra; Mitsofoka any anatin’ ny kirihitrala sy mananika ny vatolampy izy; Lao avokoa ny tanàna rehetra, ka tsy misy mponina intsony ao.
30 And what will you do? Though you clothe yourself with scarlet, and adorn yourself with golden ornaments; though you adorn your eyes with stibium, your beauty [will be] in vain: your lovers have rejected you, they seek your life.
Ary hanao ahoana ianao, ry ilay rava? Na dia miakanjo jaky aza ianao, na dia miravaka volamena aza ianao, na dia hosoranao loko mainty aza ny masonao, foana ny itadiavanao hahatsara tarehy anao; Hanifika anao ireo lehilahy tia anao, ka ny ainao aza no hotadiaviny.
31 For I have heard your groaning as the voice of a woman in travail, as of her that brings forth her first child; the voice of the daughter of Zion shall fail through weakness, and she shall lose the strength of her hands, [saying], Woe is me! for my soul faints because of the slain.
Fa efa nandre feo Aho tahaka ny vehivavy raha miteraka sy fidridridridriana tahaka ny vehivavy izay vao miteraka ny matoany, dia ny feon’ i Ziona zanakavavy, izay misefosefo sady mamelatra ny tànany ka manao hoe: Lozako! Fa reraka ny aiko azon’ ireo mpamono olona.
