< Jeremiah 11 >

1 The word that came from the Lord to Jeremias, saying:
Izao no teny tonga tamin’ i Jeremia avy tamin’ i Jehovah:
2 Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
Mihainoa ny tenin’ izao fanekena izao ianareo, ary mitenena amin’ ny Joda sy amin’ ny mponina any Jerosalema,
3 And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Cursed is the man that shall not hearken to the words of this covenant,
Ary ataovy aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: ho voaozona izay olona tsy mankatò ny tenin’ izao fanekena izao,
4 Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying: Hear ye my voice, and do all things that I command you: and you shall be my people, and I will be your God:
Izay nandidiako ny razanareo tamin’ ny andro nitondrako azy nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta, dia avy tao amin’ ny memy fandrendreham-by, ka nanaovako hoe: Mihainoa ny feoko, ary mankatoava ireny araka izay rehetra andidiako anareo, dia ho oloko ianareo, ary Izaho kosa ho Andriamanitrareo,
5 That I may accomplish the oath which I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. And I answered and said: Amen, O Lord.
Mba hotoviko ny fianianana izay nianianako tamin’ ny razanareo, dia ny hanomezana azy tany tondra-dronono sy tantely tahaka ny amin’ izao anio izao. Dia namaly aho ka nanao hoe: Ho izany tokoa anie, Jehovah ô!
6 And the Lord said to me: Proclaim aloud all these words in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying: Hear ye the words of the covenant, and do them:
Ary hoy Jehovah tamiko: Torio any an-tanànan’ ny Joda sy any an-dalamben’ i Jerosalema Izany teny rehetra izany, ka lazao hoe: Henoy ny tenin’ izao fanekena izao, ka ankatoavy izy.
7 For protesting I conjured your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt even to this day: rising early I conjured them, and said: Hearken ye to my voice:
Fa nananatra mafy ny razanareo Aho tamin’ ny andro nitondrako azy nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta ka ambaraka androany; Eny, nifoha maraina koa Aho ka nananatra hoe: Mihainoa ny feoko.
8 And they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear: but walked every one in the perverseness of his own wicked heart: and I brought upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did them not.
Nefa tsy nihaino izy na nanongilana ny sofiny, fa samy nandeha tamin’ ny ditry ny fo ratsiny ihany izy; Ka dia nataoko mihatra aminy ny teny rehetra amin’ izao fanekena izao, ilay nasaiko nataony, nefa tsy nataony.
9 And the Lord said to me: A conspiracy is found among the men of Juda, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Ary hoy koa Jehovah tamiko: Misy tetika fikomiana hita ao amin’ ny Joda sy amin’ ny mponina any Jerosalema.
10 They are returned to the former iniquities of their fathers, who refused to hear my words: so these likewise have gone after strange gods, to serve them: the house of Israel, and the house of Juda have made void my covenant, which I made with their fathers.
Fa izy niverina nankamin’ ny heloky ny razany, izay tsy nety nihaino ny teniko, ary lasa nanaraka andriamani-kafa izy ka nanompo azy; Ny taranak’ Isiraely sy ny taranak’ i Joda efa nivadika ny fanekeko, izay nataoko tamin’ ny razany.
11 Wherefore thus saith the Lord: Behold I will bring in evils upon them, which they shall not be able to escape: and they shall cry to me, and I will not hearken to them.
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, Izaho hahatonga loza aminy, izay tsy azony handosirana; Ary na dia hitaraina amiko aza izy, dia tsy hihaino azy Aho.
12 And the cities of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall go, and cry to the gods to whom they offer sacrifice, and they shall not save them in the time of their affliction.
Dia handeha ny tanànan’ ny Joda sy ny mponina any Jerosalema ka hitaraina amin’ ireny andriamaniny, izay efa nandoroany ditin-kazo manitra; Nefa ireny tsy hahavonjy azy akory amin’ ny andro fahoriany.
13 For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Juda: and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem thou hast set up altars of confusion, altars to offer sacrifice to Baalim.
Fa araka ny isan’ ny tanànanao, ry Joda, no isan’ ny andriamanitrao, Ary araka ny isan’ ny lalamben’ i Jerosalema no isan’ ny alitara naorinareo ho an’ ilay mampahamenatra. Dia alitara handoroana ditin-kazo manitra ho an’ i Bala.
14 Therefore, do not thou pray for this people, and do not take up praise and prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time of their cry to me, in the time of their affliction.
Koa aza mivavaka ho an’ ity firenena ity ianao, ary aza manandratra fitarainana na fifonana ho azy; Fa amin’ ny andro izay hitarainany amiko noho ny fahoriany dia tsy hihaino azy Aho.
15 What is the meaning that my beloved hath wrought muck wickedness in my house? shall the holy flesh take away from thee thy crimes, in which thou hast boasted?
Hanao inona ao an-tranoko ny malalako fa efa namoron-tsain-dratsy niaraka tamin’ ny maro izy, ary ny hena masìna dia esorina aminao; Raha azon-doza ianao, mifalia ary!
16 The Lord called thy name, a plentiful olive tree, fair, fruitful, and beautiful: at the noise of a word, a great fire was kindled in it and the branches thereof are burnt.
Hazo oliva maitso sady misy voany maha-te-hizaha no nataon’ i Jehovah anaranao; Tamin’ ny fihorakorahana be no nandrehetany afo taminy, ary notapahina ny rantsany.
17 And the Lord of hosts that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee: for the evils of the house of Israel, and the house of Juda, which they have done to themselves, to provoke me, offering sacrifice to Baalim.
Fa Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Izay namboly anao, no nanambara ny loza hanjo anao, noho ny ratsy nataon’ ny taranak’ Isiraely sy ny taranak’ i Joda, Izay nahavoa ny tenany ka nahatezitra Ahy. Dia tamin’ ny nandoroany ditin-kazo manitra ho an’ i Bala.
18 But thou, O Lord, hast shewn me, and I have known: then thou shewedst me their doings.
Ary nampahafantarin’ i Jehovah aho, ka dia nahalala; Tamin’ izany dia nasehonao ahy ny fanaony.
19 And I was as a meek lamb, that is carried to be a victim: and I knew not that they had devised counsels against me, saying: Let us put wood on his bread, and cut him off from the land of the living, and let his name be remembered no more.
Fa izaho dia tahaka ny zanak’ ondry bonaika, izay entina hovonoina; Ary tsy fantatro fa izao no tetika nataony namelezany ahy: Aoka hosimbantsika ny hazo mbamin’ ny voany, ary aoka hofongorantsika hiala amin’ ny tanin’ ny velona izy, mba tsy hotsarovana intsony ny anarany.
20 But thou, O Lord of Sabaoth, who judgest justly, and triest the reins and hearts, let me see thy revenge on them: for to thee I have revealed my cause.
Nefa, ry Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro ô, Izay mitsara marina ka mamantatra ny voa sy ny fo aoka ho hitako ny famalianao azy; Fa aminao no efa nanankinako ny adiko.
21 Therefore thus saith the Lord to the men of Anathoth, who seek thy life, and say: Thou shalt not prophesy in the name of the Lord, and thou shalt not die in our hands.
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah ny amin’ ny mponina ao Anatota, izay mitady ny ainao ka manao hoe: Aza maminany amin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah, fandrao matin’ ny tananay ianao,
22 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will visit upon them: and their young men shall die by the sword, their sons and their daughters shall die by famine.
izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Indro, hovaliako Izy, ka ny zatovo ho fatin-tsabatra, ary ny zananilahy sy ny zananivavy ho fati-mosary;
23 And there shall be no remains of them: for I will bring in evil upon the men of Anathoth, the year of their visitation.
Ka tsy hisy hiangana izy; Fa hahatonga loza amin’ ny mponina ao Anatota Aho amin’ ny taona hamaliana azy.
