Jeremiah 6
1 Flee for safety, ye children of Benjamin, out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a signal in Beth-haccerem; for evil appeareth out of the north, and a great destruction.
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 The comely and delicate one do I cut off, the daughter of Zion.
I soa vintañe naho malemey, i anak’ampela’ i Tsioney ro haitoako.
3 Shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch [their] tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place.
Hivotrak’ ama’e o mpiarakeo rekets’ o lia-rai’eo, hampitroatse fiarikatohañe ami’ty kivoho’ iareo, le songa hiandrazañe an-toe’e.
4 Prepare war against her. Arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day hath declined, for the shadows of the evening are lengthening.
Ihentseño aly; miongaha hanameantika aze an-tsingilingiliñeñe. Feh’ ohatse amantika, fa miroñe i àndroy, mihalava o talinjon-karivao!
5 Arise, and let us go up by night, and let us destroy her palaces.
Miavota hanamean-tika haleñe, handrotsahantika o anjomba’eo!
6 For thus hath Jehovah of hosts said: Hew ye down trees, and cast a mound against Jerusalem. She is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of 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 well poureth forth her waters, so she poureth forth her wickedness: violence and destruction are heard in her; before me continually are grief and wounds.
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 Be thou instructed, Jerusalem, lest my soul be alienated from thee; lest I make thee a desolation, a land not inhabited.
Mitaoa ry Ierosalaime, kera ho alik’amako nahareo, ie hampangoakoaheko ho tane tsy amam-pimoneñe.
9 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: They shall thoroughly glean like a vine the remnant of Israel: turn back thy hand, as a grape-gatherer unto the baskets.
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 they may hear? Behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of Jehovah is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in 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 am full of the fury of Jehovah, I am weary with holding in. Pour it out upon the children in the street, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken; the aged 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 unto others, [their] fields and wives together; for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith Jehovah.
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 unto the greatest of them, every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest, every one dealeth 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 have healed the breach of the daughter of my people lightly, saying, Peace, peace! when there is no peace.
Nitaha’ iareo tsidaredare ty fere’ ondatikoo, ami’ty hoe, Fañanintsiñe, Fañanintsiñe, ie tsy eo ty Fanintsiñañe.
15 Are they ashamed that they have committed abomination? Nay, they are not at all ashamed, neither know they what it is to blush. Therefore they shall fall among them that fall; at the time that I visit them they shall stumble, saith Jehovah.
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 Jehovah: Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the ancient paths, which is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk [therein].
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 Also I have set watchmen over you: — Hearken ye to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.
Mbore nampitroarako mpijilo, nanao ty hoe: Haoño ty feo’ i antsivay! Hoe ka iereo: Zahay tsy hañaoñe.
18 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O assembly, what is among them.
Aa le mijanjiña ry fifeheañeo vaho mahafohina ry valobohòkeo, ty haseseke am’iareo:
19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, the fruit of their thoughts; for they have not hearkened unto my words, and as to my law, they have rejected it.
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 To what purpose should there come to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? Your burnt-offerings are not acceptable, nor are your sacrifices pleasing unto 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 Jehovah: Behold, I will lay stumbling-blocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall over them; 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 Jehovah: Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation is stirred up from the uttermost parts 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 lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as a man for the battle, against thee, daughter of Zion.
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 thereof: our hands are grown feeble; anguish hath taken hold of us, pain as of a woman that travaileth.
Ie nitsanoña’ay talily, dredra’e o taña’aio; mamihiñe anay ty lovilovy, ty haorean-drakemba mitsongo.
25 Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for [there is] the sword of the enemy, terror is on every side.
Ko miakatse mb’an-tetek’ ao, ko mañavelo an-damoke eo; amy te mampiboele harevendreveñañe mb’etia mb’atia ty fibara’ i rafelahiy.
26 Daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and roll thyself in ashes: make mourning, [as] for an only son — bitter lamentation; for the spoiler cometh suddenly upon us.
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 set thee among my people as an assayer, a fortress, that thou mayest know and try their way.
Nanoeko mpañasohaso naho mpitsòke am’ondatikoo irehe, hahafohina’o naho hitsikaraha’o o sata’eo.
28 They are all the most rebellious of rebels, going about with slander: they are bronze and iron; they are all corrupters.
Fonga mpiola manjehatse iereo, mb’eo mb’eo mamokafoka avao; torisìke naho viñe, songa tsivokatse.
29 The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed by the fire; they have melted, and melted in vain; and the bad are not plucked away.
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 Reprobate silver shall they call them, for Jehovah hath rejected them.
Atao ty hoe taim-bolafoty iereo, amy te naforintse’ Iehovà.
