< Jeremiah 7 >

1 The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, saying:
Izao no teny tonga tamin’ i Jeremia avy tamin’ i Jehovah:
2 Stand in the gate of the house of the Lord, and proclaim there this word, and say: Hear ye the word of the Lord, all ye men of Juda, that enter in at these gates, to adore the Lord.
Mitsangana eo am-bavahadin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah, ary torio eo izao teny izao, ka ataovy hoe: Mihainoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah ianareo, ry Joda rehetra, izay miditra amin’ ireto vavahady ireto mba hiankohoka eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.
3 Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Make your ways and your doings good: and I will dwell with you in this place.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Ataovy tsara ny lalanareo sy ny ataonareo, dia hamponeniko amin’ ity tany ity ianareo.
4 Trust not in lying words, saying: The temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, it is the temple of the Lord.
Aza matoky ny teny lainga hoe: Tempolin’ i Jehovah, tempolin’ i Jehovah, Tempolin’ i Jehovah ity.
5 For if you will order well your ways, and your doings: if you will execute judgement between a man and his neighbor,
Fa raha ataonareo tsara mihitsy ny lalanareo sy ny ataonareo, ka mitsara marina ny adin’ olona amin’ ny namany ianareo,
6 If you opress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, and walk not after strange gods to your own hurt,
Ary tsy mampahory ny vahiny sy ny kamboty sy ny mpitondratena, na mandatsaka rà marina amin’ ity tany ity, sady tsy manaraka andriamani-kafa hahatonga loza aminareo,
7 I will dwell with you in this place: in the land, which I gave to your fathers from the beginning and for evermore.
Dia hamponeniko amin’ ity tany ity ihany ianareo, dia eto amin’ ny tany nomeko ny razanareo, hatramin’ ny ela ka ho mandrakizay.
8 Behold you put your trust in lying words, which shall not profit you:
He! ianareo matoky ny teny lainga, nefa tsy mahasoa tsinona izany.
9 To steal, to murder, to commit adultery, to swear falsely, to offer to Baalim, and to go after strange gods, which you know not.
Hay! hangalatra sy hamono olona sy hijangajanga va ianareo ary hianian-tsy tò sy handoro ditin-kazo manitra ho an’ i Bala sady hanaraka andriamani-kafa izay tsy fantatrareo?
10 And you have come, and stood before me in this house, in which my name is called upon, and have said: We are delivered, because we have done all these abominations.
Nefa mbola avy miseho ao anatrehako amin’ ity trano izay efa niantsoana ny anarako ity ihany ianareo ka manao hoe: Efa voavonjy izahay mba hanaovana ireto fahavetavetana rehetra ireto!
11 Is this house then, in which my name hath been called upon, in your eyes become a den of robbers? I, I am he: I have seen it, saith the Lord.
Moa ataonareo ho zohy fieren’ ny jiolahy va ity trano izay efa niantsoana ny anarako ity? Indro, ny tenako aza dia mahita izany, hoy Jehovah.
12 Go ye to my place in Silo, where my name dwelt from the beginning: and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel:
Fa mandehana ianareo any amin’ ny fitoerako izay ao Silo, dia ilay nasiako ny anarako any am-boalohany, ka jereo izay nataoko taminy noho ny haratsian’ ny Isiraely oloko.
13 And now, because you have done all these works, saith the Lord: and I have spoken to you rising up early, and speaking, and you have not heard: and I have called you, and you have not answered:
Koa ankehitriny, hoy Jehovah, satria nanao izany zavatra rehetra izany ianareo, ary niteny taminareo Aho, eny, nifoha maraina koa ka niteny taminareo, nefa tsy nohenoinareo, ary niantso anareo Aho, nefa tsy novalianareo,
14 I will do to this house, in which my name is called upon, and in which you trust, and to the places which I have given you and your fathers, as I did to Silo.
Koa dia ho toy ny nataoko tamin’ i Silo no hataoko amin’ ny trano izay efa niantsoana ny anarako sady itokianareo, sy amin’ ny fitoerana izay nomeko anareo sy ny razanareo;
15 And I will cast you away from before my face, as I have cast away all your brethren, the whole seed of Ephraim.
Ary hesoriko hiala eto anatrehako ianareo toy ny nanesorako ny rahalahinareo rehetra, dia ny taranak’ i Efraima rehetra.
16 Therefore, do not thou pray for this people, nor take to thee praise and supplication for them: and do not withstand me: for I will not hear thee.
Koa aza mivavaka ho an’ ity firenena ity ianao, ary aza manandratra fitarainana sy fivavahana ho azy na mifona amiko; Fa tsy hihaino anao Aho.
17 Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Tsy hitanao va ny ataon’ ireo any an-tanànan’ ny Joda sy any an-dalamben’ i Jerosalema?
18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to offer libations to strange gods, and to provoke me to anger.
Ny zaza manangon-kitay, ny ray mandrehitra afo, ary ny vehivavy mametafeta ny koba hatao mofo ho an’ ny mpanjakavavin’ ny lanitra sy hanidinana fanatitra aidina ho an’ ny andriamani-kafa mba hampahasosotra Ahy.
19 Do they provoke me to anger, saith the Lord? Is it not themselves, to the confusion of their contenance?
Moa Izaho va no ampahasosorin’ ireo, hoy Jehovah, fa tsy ny tenany ihany mba ho fangaihainy?
20 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold my wrath and my indignation was enkindled against this place, upon men and upon beasts, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruits of the land, and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, ny fahatezerako sy ny fahavinirako haidina amin’ ity tany ity, dia amin’ ny olona sy ny biby fiompy sy ny hazo any an-tsaha ary ny vokatry ny tany; Dia hirehitra izany ka tsy hovonoina.
21 Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat ye the flesh.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Aoka ny fanatitra dorana ho naman’ ny fanatitrareo hafa alatsa-drà, ka mihinàna hena.
22 For I spoke not to your fathers, and I commanded them not, in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning the matter of burnt offerings and sacrifices.
Fa tsy ny amin’ ny fanatitra dorana sy ny fanatitra hafa no nitenenako tamin’ ny razanareo na nandidiako azy tamin’ ny andro nitondrako azy nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta;
23 But this thing I commanded them, saying: Hearken to my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people: and walk ye in all the way that I have commanded you, that it may be well with you.
Fa izao kosa no nandidiako azy: Henoy ny feoko. Dia ho Andriamanitrareo Aho, ary ianareo ho oloko ka handeha amin’ ny lalana rehetra nandidiako anareo, mba hahitanareo soa.
24 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear: but walked in their own will, and in the perversity of their wicked heart: and went backward and not forward,
Kanjo tsy nihaino izy na nanongilana ny sofiny, fa nandeha tamin’ ny fisainany sy ny ditry ny fo ratsiny ihany izy dia niamboho, fa tsy mba nanatrika.
25 From the day that their fathers came out of the land of Egypt, even to this day. And I have sent to you all my servants the prophets from day to day, rising up early and sending.
Hatramin’ ny andro nivoahan’ ny razanareo avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta ka ambaraka androany dia nirahiko ho any aminareo ihany ny mpaminany mpanompoko rehetra, eny, nifoha maraina koa isan’ andro Aho ka naniraka azy mandrakariva.
26 And they have not hearkened to me: nor inclined their ear: but have hardened their neck, and have done worse than their fathers.
Nefa tsy nihaino Ahy izy ireo sady tsy nanongilana ny sofiny, fa nanamafy ny hatony ka nanao ratsy mihoatra noho ny razany aza.
27 And thou shalt speak to them all these words, but they will not hearken to thee: and thou shalt call them, but they will not answer thee.
Ary na dia holazainao aminy aza ireo teny rehetra ireo, dia tsy hihaino anao izy; Ary na dia antsoinao aza izy, dia tsy hamaly anao.
28 And thou shalt say to them: This is a nation which hath not hearkened to the voice of the Lord their God, nor received instruction: Faith is lost, and is carried away out of their mouth.
Koa lazao aminy hoe: Ity no firenena tsy mihaino feon’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny sady tsy mino anatra; Very ny fahamarinana, fa afaka tamin’ ny vavany.
29 Cut off thy hair, and cast it away: and take up a lamentation on high: for the Lord hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath,
Hetezo ny volonao, ry Jerosalema, ka ario, ary manaova hira fahalahelovana any an-tendrombohitra mangadihady, satria lavin’ i Jehovah sy afoiny ny taranaka mahatezitra Azy.
30 Because the children of Juda have done evil in my eyes, saith the Lord. They have set their abominations in the house in which my name is called upon, to pollute it;
Fa manao izay ratsy eo imasoko ny taranak’ i Joda, hoy Jehovah, mametraka ny fahavetavetany ao amin’ ny trano izay efa niantsoana ny anarako izy mba handoto azy.
31 And they have built the high places of Topeth, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, to burn their sons, and their daughters in the fire: which I commanded not, nor thought on in my heart.
Ary izy nanorina ireo fitoerana avo any Tofeta, izay ao amin’ ny lohasahan’ ny taranak’ i Hinema, handoroany ny zananilahy sy ny zananivavy amin’ ny afo; Nefa zavatra tsy mba nandidiako na tao an-tsaiko akory aza izany.
32 Therefore behold the days shall come, saith the Lord, and it shall no more be called Topeth, nor the valley of the son of Ennom: but the valley of slaughter, and they shall bury in Topeth, because there is no place.
Koa, indro, avy ny andro, hoy Jehovah, izay tsy hanaovana azy intsony hoe Tofeta, na Lohasahan’ ny taranak’ i Hinoma, fa Lohasaha Famonoana kosa. Ary any Tofeta aza no handevenana noho ny hateren’ ny tany.
33 And the carcasses of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the air, and for the beasts of the earth, and there shall be non to drive them away.
Ary ny fatin’ ity firenena ity dia ho fihinan’ ny voro-manidina sy ny bibidia, ka tsy hisy hanaitaitra azy.
34 And I will cause to cease out of the cities of Juda, and out of the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.
Dia hatsahatro any an-tanànan’ ny Joda sy eny an-dalamben’ i Jerosalema ny feo mifaly sy ny feo miravoravo, dia ny feon’ ny mpampakatra sy ny feon’ ny ampakarina; Fa ho lao ny tany.
