Jeremias 6
1 Strengthen yourselves, you 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.
Hianareo, zanak’ i Benjamina, mandosira faingana hiala an’ i Jerosalema, ary tsofy ao Tekoa ny anjomara, ka manaova tsangan’ afo ao Beti-hakerema; Fa misy loza sy fandringanana be miposaka avy any avaratra.
2 And [your] pride, O daughter of Sion, shall be taken away.
Ziona zanakavavy dia ampitoviko amin’ ny fiandrasan-ondry misy ahitra milenodenoka.
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.
Ao aminy no alehan’ ny mpiandry sy ny ondry; Haoriny manodidina azy ny lainy, ka samy handany ny ao akaikiny avy izy.
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.
Mitaova ianareo hanao ady masìna hamelezana azy; Mitsangàna, ka andeha isika hiakatra antoandro. Lozantsika! fa lasan-davitra ny andro, ka efa mandroso ny aloky ny hariva.
5 Rise, and let us go up against her by night, and destroy her foundations.
Mitsangàna, ka andeha isika hanao latsak’ alina, ary aoka horavantsika ny trano-beny.
6 For thus says the Lord, Hew down her trees, array a numerous force against Jerusalem. O false city; [there is] all oppression in her.
Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro; Kapao ny hazo, ary manandrata tovon-tany hamelezana an’ i Jerosalema; Io ilay tanàna hovaliana, feno fampahoriana ny ao anatiny.
7 As a cistern cools water, so her wickedness cools her, ungodliness and misery shall be heard in her, [as] continually before her.
Toy ny loharano mampiboiboika ny ranony no ampiboiboihany ny faharatsiany; An-keriny sy fandravana no re ao aminy; Eo anatrehako mandrakariva ny faharariana sy ny faharatrana.
8 You shall be chastened, O Jerusalem, with pain and the scourge, lest my soul depart from you; lest I make you a desert land, which shall not be inhabited.
Minoa anatra ianao, ry Jerosalema, fandrao miombotra miala aminao ny fanahiko, ary fandrao hataoko tany lao ianao, dia tany tsy honenana.
9 For thus says the Lord, Glean, glean thoroughly as a vine the remnant of Israel: turn back [your hands] as a grape-gatherer to his basket.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Hotsimponina fatratra toy ny fitsimpona voaloboka izay sisa amin’ ny Isiraely; Avereno ho amin’ ny sakeliny ny tananao toy ny mpioty voaloboka.
10 To whom shall I speak, and testify, that he may listen? behold, your 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.
Iza no hilazako sy hanariko mba handrenesany? Indro, ny sofiny dia tsy voafora, ka tsy mahahaino izy; He! tsatsoiny ny tenin’ i Jehovah ka tsy ankamaminy.
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.
Fa ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah mahafeno ahy ka tsy zakako tsindriana intsony! Aidino amin’ ny ankizy madinika eny an-dalambe sy amin’ ny fiokoan’ ny zatovo izany; Fa na lehilahy na vehivavy dia hosamborina avokoa, ary ny anti-panahy mbamin’ ny ela niainana koa;
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, says the Lord.
Ary ho lasan’ ny sasany ny tranony mbamin’ ny sahany sy ny vehivavy koa; Fa hahinjitro amin’ ny mponina amin’ ny tany ny tanako, hoy Jehovah,
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.
Satria izy rehetra, na ny kely na ny lehibe, dia samy fatra-pila harena avokoa; Na ny mpaminany na ny mpisorona dia samy mamitaka avokoa.
14 And they healed the breach of my people [imperfectly], making light [of it], and saying, Peace, peace, and where is peace?
Fa nataotaony foana ny fanasitranany ny faharatran’ ny oloko zanakavavy tamin’ ny nanaovany hoe: Fiadanana, fiadanana; Kanjo tsy misy fiadanana tsinona!
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.
Nomenarina izy noho ny nanaovany fahavetavetana, nefa tsy mba menatra akory izy ary tsy mba valahara; Koa ho lavo ao amin’ izay lavo izy, amin’ ny andro hamaliako azy dia ho tafintohina izy, hoy Jehovah.
16 Thus says the Lord, Stand you 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 you shall find purification for your souls. But they said, We will not walk [in them].
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Mijanona eo an-dalana ianareo, ka izahao, ary anontanio izay lalana masaka hatry ny ela. Dia izay lalana mankany amin’ ny tsara, ka iny no izory, dia hahita fitsaharana ho an’ ny fanahinareo ianareo; Nefa hoy izy: Tsy hizotra izahay.
17 I have set watchmen over you, [saying], Hear you the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hear [it].
Ary nasiako mpitily ianareo hanao hoe: Henoy ny feon’ ny anjomara! Nefa hoy ianareo: Tsy hihaino izahay.
18 Therefore have the nations heard, and they that feed their flocks.
Koa henoinareo, ry jentilisa, ary aoka ho fantatrareo, ry fiangonana, ny hanjo azy.
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.
Henoy, ry tany! Indro, Izaho hahatonga loza amin’ ity firenena ity, dia ny vokatry ny heviny ihany; Fa tsy nihaino ny teniko izy, ary nolaviny ny lalàko.
20 Therefore do you 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.
Nahoana no itondrana ditin-kazo mani-pofona avy any Sheba Aho sy veromanitra avy any amin’ ny tany lavitra? Tsy sitrako ny fanatitra doranareo, ary tsy mamiko ny zavatra vonoinareo hatao fanatitra.
21 Therefore thus says 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.
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro hasiako fahatafintohinana eo amin’ ity firenena ity, ka dia samy ho tafintohina amin’ izany ny ray mbamin’ ny zanany; Ho faty ny olona mbamin’ ny namany.
22 Thus says the Lord, Behold, a people comes from the north, and nations shall be stirred up from the end of the earth.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, misy firenena avy any amin’ ny tany avaratra, dia firenena lehibe mitsangana avy any amin’ ny faran’ ny tany;
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 you as fire on horses and chariots, O daughter of Sion.
Tsipika sy lefona no entiny, lozabe sady tsy mamindra fo izy; Ny feony dia mirohondrohona toy ny ranomasina, sady mitaingin-tsoavaly izy ary voaomana tahaka ny lehilahy ho amin’ ny ady, hamelezana anao, ry Ziona zanakavavy.
24 We have heard the report of them: our hands are weakened: anguish has seized us, the pangs as of a woman in travail.
Efa renay ny lazany, ka miraviravy tanana izahay; Fahoriana no mahazo anay, eny, fanaintainana tahaka ny vehivavy raha miteraka.
25 Go not forth into the field, and walk not in the ways; for the sword of the enemy lingers round about.
Aza mivoaka ho any an-tsaha, ary aza mandeha amin’ ny lalambe; Fa manan-tsabatra ny fahavalo, misy fampangorohoroana manodidina.
26 O daughter of my people, gird yourself with sackcloth: sprinkle [yourself] with ashes; make for yourself pitiable lamentation, [as] the mourning for a beloved [son]: for misery will come suddenly upon you.
Ry oloko zanakavavy, misikìna lamba fisaonana ianao, ary mihosena lavenona, ka manaova fisaonana toy ny fisaonana zanakalahy tokana, dia fitomaniana fatratra; Fa ho avy tampoka amintsika ny mpandringana.
27 I have caused you to be tried amongst tried nations, and you shall know me when I have tried their way.
Ho mpizaha toetra ao amin’ ny oloko no nanendreko anao, dia ho fiarovana mafy, mba ho fantatrao sy hizahanao toetra ny alehany.
28 [They are] all disobedient, walking perversely: [they are] brass and iron; they are all corrupted.
Tena maditra avokoa izy rehetra ka mandehandeha manaratsy, varahina sy vy izy; Samy mpanao ratsy avokoa izy rehetra.
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.
May ny tafoforana, levon’ ny afo ny firaka, foana ny nandrendrehan’ ny mpandrendrika, fa tsy voaisotra ny ratsy.
30 Call you them reprobate silver, because the Lord has rejected them.
Ataon’ ny olona hoe, volafotsy tsy lany izy, satria tsy lanin’ i Jehovah.
