Jeremiah 14
1 The word of Jehovah that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought.
Ty tsara’ Iehovà am’ Iirmeà ty amy hasalikoañey.
2 Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish, they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem goeth up.
Mandala t’Iehodà, midegañe o lalam-bei’eo, ie mibotrek’ an-kontoke ty amy taney; vaho mionjoñe ty firoveta’ Ierosalaime.
3 And their nobles send their little ones for water: they come to the pits, they find no water; they return with their vessels empty; they are ashamed, they are confounded, and have covered their heads.
Nirahe’ o roandriañeo o keleia’eo hitoha rano: ie pok’an-kadaha eo, tsy manjo rano; mimpoly am-binta kapaike, salatse naho daba, misaron-doha,
4 Because the ground is chapt, for there hath been no rain on the earth, the ploughmen are ashamed, they cover their heads.
O taneo mivarakivaraky, tsy niavy an-tane ty orañe, miolitsolitse ty mpiava, misaron-doha.
5 For the hind also calveth in the field, and forsaketh [its young], because there is no grass.
Miterak’ an-kivoke ey ka ty fanaloke, fe aforintse’e, ie tsy aman’ ahetse.
6 And the wild asses stand on the heights, they snuff up the wind like jackals; their eyes fail, because there is no herbage.
Miereñereñe an-kaboan-diolio eñe ty borìke ly, misefosefo hoe fosa; milesa o maso’eo, amy te tsy eo rongoñe.
7 Jehovah, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou act for thy name's sake; for our backslidings are many — we have sinned against thee.
Aa ndra te asisì’ o tahi’aio zahay, ry Iehovà, mitoloña ty amy tahina’oy; toe maro o fidisa-voli’aio, naho anaña’o hakeo.
8 Thou hope of Israel, its Saviour in the time of trouble, why wilt thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a traveller that turneth aside to stay a night?
Ry fitamà’ Israele, t’i Mpandrombak’ aze an-tsan-kaoreañe, manao akore te ihe ro manao ambahiny an-taneo, manahake ty mpitaveañe mañialo ao te haleñe?
9 Why wilt thou be as a man astonished, as a mighty man that cannot save? Yet thou, Jehovah, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name: leave us not.
Mañino irehe ro hoe ondaty daba, hoe fanalolahy tsy maharombake? F’ie añivo’ay irehe, ry Iehovà, vaho kanjieñe ami’ty tahina’o, ko aforintse’o.
10 Thus saith Jehovah to this people: Even so have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet; and Jehovah hath no delight in them: now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.
Hoe t’Iehovà am’ondaty retoañe: Toe nitea’ iereo ty mirererere, tsy kinala’ iareo o fandia’eo; aa le tsy no’ Iehovà, ho tiahi’e henane zao o hakeo’eo, vaho ho lilove’e o tahi’ iareoo.
11 And Jehovah said unto me, Pray not for this people for their good.
Le hoe t’Iehovà amako: Ko ihalalia’o ty hasoa’ ondaty retoa,
12 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer up burnt-offering and oblation, I will not accept them: for I will consume them by sword, and by famine, and by pestilence.
Ie mililitse, tsy ho tsanoñeko o fitoreo’eo; ie mañenga soroñe naho enga mahakama, tsy ho noko; te mone ho mongoreko am-pibara, naho an-kerè vaho an-kiria.
13 And I said, Alas, Lord Jehovah! Behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; for I will give you assured peace in this place.
Le hoe iraho: Ee Talè, Iehovà! Inao ty filañona’ o mpitokio: Tsy hizò fibara nahareo, tsy ho tendreke hasalikoañe; fa ho tolorako fierañerañañe tsy modo ami’ty toetse toy.
14 And Jehovah said unto me, The prophets prophesy falsehood in my name; I have not sent them, neither have I commanded them, nor spoken unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision, and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà amako: Mandañitse ami’ty añarako o mpitokio; tsy nahitriko tsy nililiako, tsy nivolañako; itokia’ iareo aroñarom-bande, naho sahàtse, naho raha kafoake, vaho ty famañahian-tro’ iareo avao.
15 Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, and who say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land: By sword and by famine shall those prophets be consumed;
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà: O mpitoky mitoky ami’ty añarakoo: Tsy niraheko, fe hoe ty asa’iareo: Tsy ho an-tane atoy ty vi-lava naho ty kerè. Aa le ty fibara naho ty hasalikoañe ty higadoña’ i mpitoky rey.
16 and the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem, because of the famine and the sword; and there shall be none to bury them, them, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters; and I will pour their wickedness upon them.
Le hahifik’ an-dala’ Ierosalaime ey ondaty itokia’ iareoo, ami’ty mosare naho amy fibaray; le tsy hanam-pandeveñe, ie naho o vali’eo, naho o ana-dahi’eo, vaho o anak’ ampela’eo; fa hadoako am’iereo ty haloloa’ iareo.
17 And thou shalt say this word unto them: Let mine eyes run down with tears, night and day, and not cease; for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous blow.
Le isaontsio o tsara zao: Ehe te hitsiririàhan-drano maso handro an-kaleñe o masokoo; vaho ko ajihetse; amy te dinemo’ ty fanjevoañe ra’elahy i somondrara anak’ ampela’ ondatikoy, ami’ty fere mahatindry.
18 If I go forth into the field, behold the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, behold them that pine away with famine! For both prophet and priest shall go about into a land that they know not.
Izaho mb’an-kivok’ añe: hehe ty zinamam-pibara, ie mimoak’ an-drova ao, ingo ty nanilofen-kerè! mikariokariok’ amy taney o mpitokio naho o mpisoroñeo fa tsy mahafohiñe.
19 — Hast thou then utterly rejected Judah? Doth thy soul loathe Zion? Why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? Peace is looked for, and there is no good, — and a time of healing, and behold terror!
Vata’e nifarie’o hao t’Iehodà? Heje’ ty arofo’o vintañe hao ty Tsione? Ino ty nandafa’o anay ho po-pijanganañe? Ie nandiñe fanintsiñañe fe po hasoa, naho fitsaitsaihañe, te mone hankàñe.
20 Jehovah, we acknowledge our wickedness, the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against thee.
Iantofa’ay ry Iehovà, o halò-tsere’aio, naho o tahin-droae’aio; toe anaña’o hakeo.
21 For thy name's sake, do not spurn [us], do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us.
Ko malaiñ’anay irehe, ty amy tahina’oy! ko mavoe’o ty fiambesan’enge’o; mahatiahia, ko ivaliha’o i fañina’o ama’aiy!
22 Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? Art not thou HE, Jehovah, our God? And we wait upon thee; for thou hast made all these things.
Ahavian’orañe hao o raha tsy jefa’ o kilakila’ndatioo? O likerañeo hao ty mampikojojoake orañe? Tsy Ihe hao, ry Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay? Tsy Ihe hao ty fitamà’ay? Toe Ihe ro Mpanao ze he’e zao!
