Jeremiah 13
1 Thus says the Lord to me: “Go, and obtain for yourself a linen waistcloth. And you shall place it over your loins, and you shall not put it into water.”
Hoe t’Iehovà amako: Akia, mikaloa sokotry lande, le sadiaño, vaho ko alo’o an-drano.
2 And so I obtained a waistcloth, according to the word of the Lord, and I placed it around my loins.
Aa le nivily sokotry iraho ty amy tsara’ Iehovày, vaho nadiako.
3 And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying:
Nomb’ amako fañindroe’e ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
4 “Take the waistcloth, which you obtained, which is around your loins, and, rising up, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in an opening of the rock.”
Endeso i sokotry vinili’oy, o an-toha’oo, le miongaha, akia mb’e Perate añe vaho akafiro an-tseran-damilamy ao.
5 And so I went, and I hid it by the Euphrates, just as the Lord had instructed me.
Aa le nimb’ eo iraho nañetak’ aze e Perate ao amy nandilia’ Iehovày.
6 And it happened that, after many days, the Lord said to me: “Rise up, go to the Euphrates, and take from there the waistcloth, which I instructed you to hide there.”
Ie añe ty andro maro, le hoe t’Iehovà amako, Miongaha, akia mb’e Perate mb’eo vaho rambeso i sokotry nililiako haetak’aoy.
7 And so I went to the Euphrates, and I dug up and took the waistcloth from the place where I had hidden it. And behold, the waistcloth had rotted, so that it was not fit for any use.
Aa le nimb’e Perate mb’eo iraho vaho hinaliko naho rinambeko amy nañetahakoy i sokotriy; naheoko t’ie nianto, tsy vara ka.
8 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
9 “Thus says the Lord: In the same way, I will cause the arrogance of Judah and the arrogance of Jerusalem to rot.
Hoe t’Iehovà: Hambañe amy zay ty hamongorako ty fiebora’ Iehodà, naho ty firengevoha’ Ierosalaime,
10 This most wicked people, they are not willing to listen to my words, for they walk in the depravity of their own heart, and they have gone after strange gods, so as to serve them and to adore them. And so, they will become like this waistcloth, which is not fit for any use.
ondaty lo-tsereke retoañe, o mifoneñe tsy hijanjiñe o volakoo, o manjotik’ ami’ty fanjeharan’arofo’eo, naho mañorike ndrahare ila’e hitoroña’e naho hitalahoa’e; aa le hifandrae ami’ty sokotry toy iereo, ie tsy vente’e.
11 For just as the waistcloth clings to the loins of a man, so have I brought close to me the entire house of Israel and the entire house of Judah, says the Lord, so that they would be to me: a people, and a name, and a praise, and a glory. But they did not listen.
Fa hambañe ami’ty fidiañañe ty sokotry an-toha’ondaty, ty nampidiañako amako ty anjomba’ Israele iaby, naho ze hene anjomba’ Iehodà, hoe t’Iehovà, soa te ho amako iereo, h’ondaty naho tahinañe, naho engeñe, vaho volonahetse; f’ie mihiritsiritse avao.
12 Therefore, you shall speak to them this word: Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘Every bottle will be filled with wine.’ And they will say to you: ‘Are we ignorant that every bottle will be filled with wine?’
Atovoño am’ iereo o tsara zao: Hoe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele: Songa ho peañen-divay o zonjoñeo. Le ie manao ty hoe iereo: Aa tsy apota’ay hao te sindre hatsafen-divay o zonjoñeo?
13 And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, and the kings from the stock of David who sit upon his throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, unto inebriation.
Le hanoa’o ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà: Ingo ho liporeko hamamoañe ze hene mpimone’ ty tane toy: o mpanjaka miambesatse am-piambesa’ i Davideo, naho o mpisoroñeo, naho o mpitokio, vaho o mpimone’ Israele iabio.
14 And I will scatter them, a man from his brother, and fathers and sons similarly, says the Lord. I will not spare them, and I will not pardon them, and I will not take pity, so as not to destroy them.”
Ho ifampidosieko iereo, o roaeo amo ana’eo, hoe’ t’Iehovà; tsy hiheveako, tsy ho tretrezeko, tsy ho ferenaiñeko; te mone ho rotsaheko.
15 Hear and pay close attention. Do not choose to lift yourself up, for the Lord has spoken.
Mijanjiña naho manolora ravembia, ko mibohaboha; fa nitsara t’Iehovà.
16 Give glory to the Lord your God, before darkness falls, and before your feet stumble on the darkened mountains. You will expect light, but he will turn it into the shadow of death and into utter darkness.
Toloro engeñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo, aolo’ ty firoña’e ho maieñe, aolo te mitsikapy an-tongoa-vohitse eo o fandia’ areoo, le ie mipay hazavàñe nahareo ro hafote’e ho talinjon-kavilasy, ie hampimoromoroñe’e.
17 But if you will not listen to this, then my soul will weep in secret before the face of your pride. It will weep bitterly, and my eyes will flow with tears, because the flock of the Lord has been taken captive.
Fe naho tsy mañaoñe nahareo, le hiharovetse añ’etake ty troko ty amy firengevohañe zay; higanaganaham-pangololoihañe o masokoo, vaho hikararake o rano-masokoo, amy te nasese an-drohy añe i lia-rai’ Iehovày.
18 “Say to the king and to the female ruler: Humble yourselves, sit down. For the crown of your glory has gone down from your head.
Taroño amy mpanjakay naho amy mpanjaka-ampelay ty hoe: Mitoboha ambane, fa nazetse o sabakan’enge’ areo fanjakao.
19 The cities of the south have been closed, and there is no one who may open them. All of Judah has been taken away into complete captivity.
Migabeñe o rova atimoo, vaho tsy eo ty hanokake iareo; songa nasese am-pandrohizañe t’Iehodà; sindre nendeseñ’ añe an-drohy.
20 Lift up your eyes and see, you who are arriving from the north. Where is the flock that was given to you, your famous cattle?
Ampiandrao o fihaino’oo, isaho o mb’etoy boak’ avaratse eio; aia i lia-raike natolots’ azoy, i lia-rai’o fanjakay?
21 What will you say when he visits upon you? For you have taught them against you, and you have instructed them with your own head. Will not pains take hold of you, as with a woman in labor?
Ino ty hatao’o naho tendre’e ho ambone’ lohà’o o nirañe’o taoloo; o naò’oo? Tsy hamihiñe azo hao ty fikoretañe hoe fitsongoan’ ampela?
22 But if you say in your heart, ‘Why have these things happened to me?’ it is because of the greatness of your iniquity that your shame has been uncovered and the soles of your feet have been defiled.
Aa naho atao’o an-tro’o ao ty hoe: Ino ty nifetsaha’ iretoañe amako? Ty habei’ hakeo’o ty nañaloañe i siki’oy, naho ty maha tsi-an-kana o tomi’oo.
23 If the Ethiopian is able to change his skin, or the leopard is able to change his spots, then you also may be able to do well, though you have learned evil.
Mahay mañova ty holi’e hao ty nte-Kose, ndra i hapepoa’ey ty fosa? Aa naho mete izay, le ho lefe’areo mpanao ratio ka ty hanao soa.
24 And I will scatter them like chaff, which is carried away by the wind in the desert.
Aa le hampiboeleko iereo manahake ty karafo ampihelaña’ i tion-dratraratray.
25 This is your lot, and this is the portion of your measure from me, says the Lord, because you have forgotten me, and you have had confidence in what is false.
Toe toli’o toy, ty nañaranako ama’o, hoe t’Iehovà; amy te nihaliñe’o iraho, vaho niatoa’o ty remborake.
26 Therefore, I have even bared your thighs before your face, and your shame has been seen.
Aa le hatsingako ambone’ lahara’o eo o siki’oo hampiboake ty fimeñara’o.
27 For I have seen your adulteries, and your neighing for the wickedness of your fornication, and your abominations upon the hills in the field. Woe to you, Jerusalem! How much longer before you will be made clean after me?”
Fa nitreako o hativa’oo: ty fañarapiloa’o, ty fitrem-pitsinginiora’o, ty haleoran-katsimirira’o, amo tamboho an-kivoke eio, nitreako o hativà’oo. Hankàñe ama’o, ry Ierosalaime, ampara’ te ombia t’ie mbe haleotse?
