Jeremiah 3
1 If a man divorces his wife and she goes and marries someone else, could he ever go back to her? Wouldn't the country be made totally unclean by this? But you have done worse by prostituting yourselves with many lovers, and now you want to come back to me? declares the Lord.
Saontsieñe te, ie mitsey valy t’indaty naho mifanarak’ ama’e i rakembay, naho engae’ t’indaty ila’e, ho mete hao te himpolie’e i valoha’ey? Tsy haniva i taney hao? F’ihe nanao hakarapiloañe ami’ty mpikoko maro, mbore te himpoly amako! hoe t’Iehovà.
2 Look up at the bare hilltops. Is there anywhere that you haven't had sex? You sat at the roadside like someone from the desert waiting for your lovers to pass by. You have made the land unclean with your prostitution and evil.
Ampiandrao mb’an-kaboañe liolio ey o fihaino’oo le mahaisaha: Aia irehe te tsy niolorañe? Nitoboke añ’olon-dalañe eo nitsinginiotse am’iareo, manahake ty Arabe am-babangoañe añe; vaho nandeora’o amy hatsimirira’o naho ami’ty haloloa’o i taney.
3 That's why no showers have been sent, and no spring rains have fallen. But you just stare back shamelessly like a prostitute; you refuse to accept you've done anything wrong.
Toly ndra nahànkañe i orañey, naho tsy nahavy ora-mamaratse; toe nanao laharan-kalalijake irehe, mifoneñe tsy ho salatse.
4 Didn't you just tell me, “My father, you've been such a close friend to me since I was little.
Aa tsy nitoreova’o aniany ami’ty hoe: Ry Aba, Nirañeko irehe te izaho nitora’e.
5 You won't be angry with me for a long time, will you? You won't go on being like that forever?” This is what you've said, but you keep on sinning as much as you can.
Ho tana’e nainai’e hao ty kabo’e? ifahara’e pak’an-kamodoañe añe hao? Inay ty saontsi’o, fe nitoloñe’o raha raty vaho i nipaia’oy avao ty norihe’o.
6 During the reign of King Josiah, the Lord told me, Have you seen what unfaithful Israel has done? She has prostituted herself on every high hill and under every green tree.
Le hoe t’Iehovà amako tañ’andro Iosià, mpanjaka: Niisa’o hao i nanoe’ Israele mpidisa-voliy? Songa vinonje’e ze vohitse abo naho ambane’ ze hatae mandrevake, vaho nanao hakarapiloañe ao.
7 I hoped that after she'd done all this she'd come back to me. But she didn't come back, and her unfaithful sister Judah saw what happened.
Le hoe iraho, Ie fonga nanoe’e, le himpoly amako; f’ie tsy nimpoly, vaho nahatrea izay ka t’Iehodà rahavave’e mpahay fañahy.
8 She saw that because of everything unfaithful Israel had done on committing adultery, I sent her away, giving her a certificate of divorce. But her unfaithful sister Judah wasn't afraid and prostituted herself too.
Le nitreako te ndra t’ie tsineiko reke-takelam-pisarahañe ty amo fonga fañarapiloa’ Israele mpidisa-volio, le tsy nañembañe Iehodà, rahavave’e mpiolay izay; ie nimb’eo nañarapilo ka.
9 Israel didn't care about the immorality, as she made herself and the land unclean, committing adultery by worshiping stones and trees.
Ty amy fitsihelatsihela’ i reñeley, fonga nileore’e i taney, vaho niolora’e ze hatae naho vato;
10 Despite all this, her unfaithful sister Judah didn't come back to me in sincerity. She only pretended to do so, declares the Lord.
Ie amy zay, mboe tsy nimpoly amako ami’ty haliforan’arofo’e i rahavave’e Iehodà mpamañahiy fa an-kalitake avao, hoe t’Iehovà—
11 The Lord told me, Unfaithful Israel showed that she wasn't as guilty as unfaithful Judah.
Le hoe t’Iehovà amako, Niventè’ Israele mpidisa-voliy te mbe ambone’ Iehodà mpamañahiy ty havañona’e.
12 Now go and announce this message to the north: Come back, unfaithful Israel, declares the Lord. I won't be angry with you anymore, because I am merciful, declares the Lord. I won't be angry forever.
Akia, tseizo mañavaratse o tsara zao ami’ty hoe: Mimpolia ry Israele mpidisa-volio, hoe t’Iehovà; Tsy hibosehako, fa hitretrezako, hoe t’Iehovà, tsy ho tanako nainai’e ty farahiko.
13 Just admit you did wrong, that you rebelled against the Lord your God. You spread yourself around, committing adultery by worshiping foreign gods under every green tree, refusing to do what I told you, declares the Lord.
Iantofo avao o hakeo’oo, o nandilara’o am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’oo, ie naboele’o amy ze hene ambahiny ambane’ ze hatae mandrevake o sata’o, naho tsy nihaoñe’o ty feoko, hoe t’Iehovà.
14 Come back, unfaithful children, declares the Lord, because I am married to you. I will take you, one from a town and two from a family, and bring you to Zion.
Mimpolia ry anake mpidisa-volio, hoe t’Iehovà; fa Tañanjomba’areo iraho, naho hengaeko boak’an-drova ao ty raik’ ama’ areo, ty roe boak’ am-pifokoañ’ ao, vaho haseseko mb’e Tsione mb’eo;
15 I will give you shepherds who are like me who will feed you wisely and with understanding.
Le ho tolorako mpiarake milahatse ami’ty troko, hamahana’e hilala naho hihitse.
16 At that time as you increase in number in the country, declares the Lord, no one will be talking about the Ark of the Lord's Agreement anymore. People won't need to think about it or remember it or wonder what happened to it; and certainly won't need to make a new one.
Ho tondroke t’ie nanaranake vaho nanitsike i taney amo andro añeo, hoe t’Iehovà, te tsy hanao ty hoe ka iereo: Ty vatam-pañina’ Iehovà; tsy ho tendreke an-tsaiñe; tsy ho saontsieñe; tsy ho tiliheñe; vaho tsy hanoeñe ka.
17 When that time comes Jerusalem will be called the Throne of the Lord, and all the nations will come together in Jerusalem to honor the Lord. They won't be stubborn or wicked anymore.
Amy andro zay, hatao’ iareo ty hoe fiambesa’ Iehovà t’Ierosalaime; le kila fifeheañe ty hifanontone mb’amy tahina’ Iehovày mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo; vaho tsy hañaveloa’ iareo ka i fanjeharan-tron-kaloloañey.
18 At that time the people of Judah will join with the people of Israel, and they will return from the land of the north to the country I gave to your forefathers to own.
Hiharo-lia ami’ty anjomba’ Israele ty anjomba’ Iehodà amy andro zay, vaho hindre lia boak’ an-tane avaratse añe pak’ amy tane natoloko an-droae’ areo ho lovay.
19 I said to myself, I really want you to be my children, and to give you the best country, the most beautiful place of any nation. I hoped you would call me “Father,” and never give up following me.
Le hoe iraho: Akore t’ie havotrako amo anakoo, naho hatoloko tane soa, ty lova loho fanjaka amo fifeheañeo? Le ho tokave’oo ty hoe: Raeko, iraho, vaho tsy hivike ami’ty fañorihañe ahy.
20 But just like a wife might betray her husband, you have betrayed me, people of Israel, declares the Lord.
Toe manahake ty rakemba misita-baly am-pamañahiañe ty namañahia’o ahy, ry anjomba’ Israele! hoe t’Iehovà.
21 Voices are crying on bare hilltops—the Israelites weeping and pleading for mercy, because they have gone astray and forgotten the Lord their God.
Inay ty fiarañanañañe boak’ an-kaboañe maliolio eñe, ty fangoihoia’ o ana’ Israele misolohoo, amy te nimengohe’ iereo ty lala’ iareoy, nandikofa’ iereo t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareo:
22 Come back, unfaithful children, and I will heal your unfaithfulness. “We're here! Yes, we're coming back to you, because you are the Lord our God.”
Mimpolia ry anake manjehatseo, le ho jangañeko ty fanjehara’ areo. Itoan-jahay mb’ama’o, amy te Ihe ro Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay.
23 There's no doubt that pagan worship from the hills is pure lies; the idolatry that comes from the mountains is just noise. Israel's salvation is in the Lord our God alone.
Toe sahàtse avao o vohitseo, o fifandragaragàñe an-kaboañeo. Toe am’ Iehovà Andrianañahe’ay ty fandrombahañe Israele.
24 All our lives pagan idolatry has destroyed what our fathers worked so hard for: their flocks and herds, their sons and daughters.
Fa nabea’ i hameñarañey mifototse ami’ty nahatora anay o raha nitoloñan-droae’aio, o lia-rai’eo, o mpirai-tro’eo, naho o ana-dahi’eo vaho o anak’ampela’eo.
25 We should lie down in shame, and have our disgrace bury us. We have sinned against the Lord our God, us and our fathers. From when we were young right up to now we have not obeyed what the Lord our God told us to do.
Antao hibabok’ an-keñatse, hisaron-tsalatse; fa nanao hakeo am’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika tika naho o raentikañeo, boak’ ami’ty naha-ajaja antika pake henane, vaho tsy norihentika ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika.
