Jeremiah 18
1 The word that came from Jeremias to the Lord, saying:
Izao no teny tonga tamin’ i Jeremia avy tamin’ i Jehovah:
2 Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there thou shalt hear my words.
Mitsangàna, ka midìna ho any amin’ ny tranon’ ny mpanefy tanimanga, ary any no hampandrenesako anao ny teniko.
3 And I went down into the potter’s house, and behold he was doing a work on the wheel.
Dia nidina tany amin’ ny tranon’ ny mpanefy tanimanga aho, ary, indro, nanao ny asany teo amin’ ny ankodina fanaovana izy.
4 And the vessel was broken which he was making with clay with his hands: and turning he made another vessel, as it seemed good in his eyes to make it.
Ary raha simba ny vilany ataony araka izay mazàna miseho amin’ ny tanimanga eny an-tànan’ ny mpanefy dia ataony vilany hafa indray, araka izay tian’ ny mpanefy tanimanga hanaovana azy.
5 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Dia tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah hoe:
6 Cannot I do with you as this potter, saith the Lord? behold as clay is in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.
Moa tsy mahazo manao aminareo toy ny ataon’ ity mpanefy tanimanga ity va Aho, ry taranak’ i Isiraely? hoy Jehovah. Indro, toy ny tanimanga eo an-tanan’ ny mpanefy azy, dia toy izany ianareo eo an-tanako, ry taranak’ Isiraely.
7 I will suddenly speak against a nation, and against a kingdom, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy it.
Vetivety Aho dia milaza firenena sy fanjakana hongotako sy hazerako ary horavako;
8 If that nation against which I have spoken, shall repent of their evil, I also will repent of the evil that I have thought to do to them.
Nefa raha miala amin’ ny ratsy izany firenena noteneniko izany, dia hanenenako kosa ny loza izay nokasaiko hamelezako azy.
9 And I will suddenly speak of a nation and of a kingdom, to build up and plant it.
Ary vetivety kosa Aho dia milaza firenena sy fanjakana haoriko sy hamboleko;
10 If it shall do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice: I will repent of the good that I have spoken to do unto it.
Nefa raha manao izay ratsy eo imasoko izy ka tsy mihaino ny feoko, dia hanenenako kosa ny soa izay nolazaiko hanasoavako azy.
11 Now therefore tell the men of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Behold I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: let every man of you return from his evil way, and make ye your ways and your doings good.
Koa amin’ izany, lazao amin’ ny Joda sy amin’ ny mponina eto Jerosalema hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, Izaho mamorona loza hihatra aminareo ary mihevitra izay hamelezako anareo; Koa samia miala amin’ ny lalany ratsy avy ianareo, ary ataovy tsara ny lalanareo sy ny ataonareo.
12 And they said: We have no hopes: for we will go after our own thoughts, and we will do every one according to the perverseness of his evil heart.
Nefa hoy ireo: Kivy izahay izany! Fa mbola hanaraka ny hevitray ihany izahay, eny, samy hanao araka ny ditry ny fo ratsinay avy izahay rehetra.
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord: Ask among the nations: Who hath heard such horrible things, as the virgin of Israel hath done to excess?
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: anontanio any amin’ ny jentilisa hoe: Iza no nandre zavatra toy izany? Zavatra mahatsiravina indrindra no nataon’ Isiraely virijina.
14 Shall now the snow of Libanus fail from the rock of the field? or can the cold waters that gush out and run down, be taken away?
Hitsahatra tsy ho eo amin’ ny vatolampy any an-tsaha va ny oram-panalan’ i Libanona, ary mety ho ritra va ny rano maria sady mangatsiaka avy amin’ ny tany hafa?
15 Because my people have forgotten me, sacrificing in vain, and stumbling in their ways, in ancient paths, to walk by them in a way not trodden:
Fa efa nanadino Ahy ny oloko, ka ho an’ ny sampy no nandoroany ditin-kazo manitra; Ary nanafintohina azy teo amin’ ny lalany ireny; dia ny lalana fahagola, handehanany amin’ ny sakeli-dalana madinika, dia amin’ ny lalana tsy voavoatra,
16 That their land might be given up to desolation, and to a perpetual hissing: every one that shall pass by it, shall be astonished, and wag his head.
Mba hahatonga ny taniny ho figagana sy ho zavatra mampisitrisitra mandrakizay; Izay rehetra mandalo azy dia ho gaga sy hihifikifi-doha.
17 As a burning will I scatter them before the enemy: I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their destruction.
Toy ny fampielin’ ny rivotra avy any atsinanana no hampielezako azy eo anoloan’ ny fahavalony; Hiamboho azy Aho, fa tsy hanatrika azy, amin’ ny andro hahitany loza.
18 And they said: Come, and let us invent devices against Jeremias: for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet: come, and let us strike him with the tongue, and let us give no heed to all his words.
Dia hoy ny olona: Andeha isika hihevitra izay hamelezana an’ i Jeremia; fa tsy ho tapaka tsy akory ny lalàna avy amin’ ny mpisorona, na ny saina avy amin’ ny hendry, na ny teny avy amin’ ny mpaminany. Aoka ny vavantsika ho enti-mamely azy, ary aoka tsy hohenointsika akory izay teniny.
19 Give heed to me, O Lord, and hear the voice of my adversaries.
Mihainoa ahy, Jehovah ô; Ary mihainoa ny tenin’ izay miady amiko
20 Shall evil be rendered for good, because they have digged a pit for my soul? Remember that I have stood in thy sight, so speak good for them, and turn away thy indignation from them.
Ratsy va no havaly ny soa? Fa efa nihady lavaka hamandrihana ahy ireo. Tsarovy ny nitsanganako teo anatrehanao nitaraina ho azy hampiala ny fahatezeranao aminy.
21 Therefore deliver up their children to famine, and bring them into the hands of the sword: let their wives be bereaved of children and widows: and let their husbands be slain by death: let their young men be stabbed with the sword in battle.
Koa aoka ho mosarena ny zanany, ary atolory ho amin’ ny herin’ ny sabatra izy, ka ho foana anaka ny vadiny sady ho tonga mpitondratena; Ary aoka ny lehilahy lehibe aminy haripaky ny aretina, ary ny zatovony ho fatin-tsabatra amin’ ny ady.
22 Let a cry be heard out of their houses: for thou shalt bring the robber upon them suddenly: because they have digged a pit to take me, and have hid snares for my feet.
Aoka hisy fidradradradrana ho re ao an-tranony, raha mitondra miaramila iray toko any aminy tampoka Hianao; Fa efa nihady lavaka hamandrihana ahy izy sady nanafim-pandrika haningorana ny tongotro.
23 But thou, O Lord, knowest all their counsel against me unto death: forgive not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from thy sight: let them be overthrown before thy eyes, in the time of thy wrath do thou destroy them.
Fa Hianao, Jehovah ô, no mahalala ny fisainana rehetra ataony hamelezany ahy ho faty; Aza avela ny helony; Ary aza vonoina tsy ho eo imasonao ny fahotany, fa aoka ho solafaka eo anatrehanao izy; Mameleza azy amin’ ny andro fahatezeranao.
