< Jeremiah 49 >

1 This is what the Lord says about the Ammonites: Don't the Israelites have any children? Don't they have heirs to inherit their property? So why has Milcom taken over the territory belonging to the tribe of Gad? Why are his people living in their towns?
Ty amo nte-Amoneo. Hoe t’Iehovà: Tsy amañ’ana-dahy hao t’Israele? Tsy amam-pandova hao re? Inoñ’ arè ty itavana’ i Meleke i Gade? naho ty imoneña’ ondati’eo an-drova’ iareo ao?
2 Watch out! The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will signal the attack on the Ammonite town of Rabbah. It will be turned into a pile of ruins, and its villages will be burned down. Then the Israelites will drive out the people who took over their land, says the Lord.
Aa le ho tondroke ty andro, hoe t’Iehovà, te hampijanjiñeko koin’aly e Rabà’ o ana’ i Amoneo; ie ho votre mangoakoake le ho hotomomoheñe añ’afo o anak’ ampela’eo; naho hapitso’ Israele o nampipitsok’ azeo, hoe t’Iehovà.
3 Weep, people of Heshbon, for the town of Ai has been destroyed. Cry for help, people of Rabbah! Put on clothes made of sackcloth and start mourning; run to and fro inside your city walls, because your god Milcom will go into exile along with his priests and leaders.
Mangoihoia ry Kesbone, fa rotsake t’i Aia; mikoeakoeaha ry anak’ ampela’ i Rabà, misikina gony, mandalà, miheloheloa amo goloboñeo, fa homb’am-pandrohizañe añe t’i Meleke, o mpisoro’eo rekets’ o roandria’eo.
4 Why do you boast that your valleys are so productive, you unfaithful people? You trust in your wealth, saying, “Who would dare attack us?”
Ino ty irengea’o am-bavatane ao, i vavatane’o mitsiritsiokey, ry anak’ ampela midisa-volio? Ihe miato vara, manao ty hoe: Ia ty haname ahy?
5 Watch out! I'm going to bring the surrounding nations to terrorize you, declares the Lord God Almighty. You will all be driven out and scattered, and no one will be able to gather you refugees together again.
Inao, hampangebahebak’azo iraho, hoe t’i Talè, Iehovà’ i Màroy, boak’ amo mañohok’ azo iabio; naho songa haronje’ ty roake mb’eo, tsy eo ty hanontoñe ty mibaratsake.
6 However, later on I will bring you Ammonites back from exile, declares the Lord.
Fa ie añe, le hampoliko boak’ an-drohy añe o ana’ i Amoneo, hoe t’Iehovà.
7 This is what the Lord Almighty says about Edom: Aren't there any wise people left in Teman? Isn't there any good advice from those with insight? Has their wisdom rotted away?
Ty amy Edome; hoe’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Fa kapaike hao ty hihitse e Temane ao? Fa mongotse hao ty veren-tsoa’ o maharendrekeo? Fa nilosotse am’ iareo hao ty hilala?
8 Turn and run away! Find somewhere to hide, people of Dedan, because I'm bringing disaster down on you descendants of Esau when I punish you.
Miridaridà, mibalintoà, mitoboha an-dalek’ ao, ry mpimone’ i Dedaneo; fa hapoko ama’e ty feh’oha’ i Esave, ty andro andilovako aze.
9 If people harvesting grapes came to you, they'd leave some behind, wouldn't they? If thieves came during the night, they'd only steal what they wanted, wouldn't they?
Aa naho nimb’ama’o mb’eo ty mpanontoñe valoboke, tsy ho nisisà’ iareo hao ty ho tsindroheñe? Naho ty malaso an-kaleñe, tsy ho namaok’ am-para’ te nieneñe?
10 But I'm going to strip the whole country of bare, leaving its people with nowhere to hide. All of Esau's descendants will be destroyed, along with their relatives and friends—they will all be gone.
F’ie finaopaoko t’i Esave, nampikorendaheko o fikafira’eo, le tsy ho lefe’e ty hietake; fa tinavañe o tiri’eo, songa tsy eo o rolongo’eo, naho o rañe’eo, vaho i vata’ey.
11 However, you can leave your orphans to me because I will protect them. Have your widows put their trust in me.
Fario o anam-bode-rae’oo, fa ho velomeko; naho angao hiato amako o ramavoi’oo.
12 This is what the Lord says: If those who were not required to drink from the cup of judgment had to do so, how could you not be punished yourselves? You won't go unpunished, because you have to drink it too.
Fa hoe t’Iehovà: Ingo, ndra te tsy tinendre hinoñe amy fitoviy ty ila’e, toe hinoñe ama’e avao; aa le tsy ho lilovañe ka v’iheo? Tsy hapoke tsy ho lilovan-drehe, toe tsy mahay tsy hinoñe.
13 I made myself a solemn promise, declares the Lord, that the town of Bozrah will become a place that horrifies people, a complete humiliation, a pile of ruins, and a name that's used as a curse word. All its surrounding towns will also be left in ruins forever.
Fa nifanta ami’ty vatako iraho, hoe t’Iehovà, te ho hadabàñe ty Botsrà, fañinjeañe, ratraratra, naho fatse; vaho ho koake nainai’e donia o rova’eo.
14 I received this message from the Lord. He has sent a messenger to the nations: Get yourselves ready to attack Edom! Prepare for battle!
Fa nahatsanon-talily boak’am’ Iehovà iraho, fa nampihitrifeñe amo kilakila’ ondatio ty minday ty hoe: Mifanontona, mionjona haname aze, vaho miongaha mb’an-kotakotake mb’eo.
15 Watch as I will make you insignificant compared to other nations—everyone will look down on you.
Inao, hafotsako ho kedekedeke amo fifeheañeo irehe, naho ho fañamavoa’ ondatio.
16 The fear you once created in others, and your pride in yourselves, has fooled you into overconfidence, you people living on the rocky mountain tops. Though you make your homes high out of reach like an eagle's nest, I will tear you down, even from there, declares the Lord.
Fa namañahy azo ty fangebaheba’o: ty firengevohan’ arofo’o, ihe mpimoneñe an-tseratseram-bato ao, mitobok’ an-kaboañe ey; aa ndra te nanoe’o antiotiotse ey, mira ami’ty vantio ty akiba’o, mbe hampizotsoeko boak’ey, hoe t’Iehovà.
17 People will be horrified at what's happened to Edom. Everyone passing by will be shocked, and will sneer at all its damage.
Ho liolio kòake t’i Edome, hene ho latsa ze mioza ama’e, hikosìk’ amo hekoheko nizoe’eo.
18 Just as Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed, along with their neighboring towns, says the Lord, nobody will live there—they will become uninhabited.
Hanahake ty fandrotsahañe i Sedome naho i Amorà naho o rova nañohoke iareoo, hoe t’Iehovà, tsy himoneña’ ondaty, tsy hañialoa’ ty ana’ondaty.
19 Watch out! I'm going to come like a lion from the tangled undergrowth beside the Jordan to attack the animals grazing the green pasture. In fact I'm going to chase the Edomites from their land very quickly. Who will I choose to conquer them? Who is like me? Who can challenge me? Which leader could oppose me?
Ingo hionjoñe hanahake ty liona boak’an-drongoñe matahetse añ’olo’ Iordaney mb’an-goloboñe soa fahetse mb’eo; fa hampitribaheko an-day boak’ ama’e amy zao, vaho ho tendrèko hifehe aze ze nijoboñeñe; fa ia ty hambañ’ amako? Ia ty haneseke ahy? Vaho ia ty mpiarake hahafijohañe hiatrek’ ahiko?
20 So listen to what the Lord has planned to do to Edom and the people of Teman: Their children will be dragged away like lambs from the flock, and because of them their pasture will become a wasteland.
Aa le inao ty safiri’ Iehovà, ty nisafirie’e i Edome; naho ty ereñere naereñere’e amo mpimone’ i Temaneo; toe ho kozozote’e añe ndra o kede amy lia-raikeio, vata’e hampangoakoahe’e am’iereo o fiandraza’ iareoo.
21 When they fall, the sound they make will make the earth shake; their cries will be heard all the way to the Red Sea.
Man­ginikinike ty tane ami’ty fikodoim-pikorovoha’ iareo; inay ty koeake, janjiñe an-dRiake Mena añe ty feo’e.
22 Watch as an enemy like an eagle flies high, then swoops down, spreading its wings as it attacks Bozrah. At that time Edom's warriors will be as scared as a woman in labor.
Ingo t’ie hionjoñe mb’eo naho hitsikefañe hoe vantio vaho havela’e amy Botsrà o ela’eo; le hanahake ty fidebom-pon-drakemba mitsongo ty arofo’ o fanalolahi’ i Edomeo amy andro zay.
23 A prophecy about Damascus: The towns of Hamath and Arpad are disturbed, because they've received bad news. They are fearful, restless like the sea. Nothing can calm their worries.
I Damesèke: Angoae ty Kamate naho i Arpade; ty amy talili-raty jinanji’ iareo, ie tranahe’ ty hebakebake, mitroñe i riakey tsy mete pendreñeñe.
24 The people of Damascus are demoralized—they turn and run away in panic, overcome by pain and anguish like a woman in labor.
Niforetrake t’i Damesèke, nitolike re hivoratsake, fe manjitse aze ty fineveneverà’e; fioremeñañe naho teveteveke ty mamihiñe aze, manahake ty ampela mitsongo.
25 Why isn't the city that is praised deserted, the city that made me happy?
Akore te hangoakoake i rova nirengèñey, i rova nahafale ahiy?
26 For on that day its young men will die in its streets, all its defenders will be killed, declares the Lord of Hosts.
Aa le hikorovok’ an-tameañe ey o ajalahi’eo, vaho fonga hampianjiñeñe amy andro zay o lahin-defoñeo, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
27 I'm going to set fire to the walls of Damascus; that will burn down the fortresses of Ben-hadad.
Hamiañako afo ty kijoli’ i Damesèke, hampibotseke o anjomba’ i Ben-hadadeo.
28 A prophecy about the land of Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor that were attacked by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. This is what the Lord says: Go and attack Kedar; destroy the people of the east!
Ty amy Kedare naho or fifehea’ i Katsore linafa’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Baveleo, hoe t’Iehovà; Miongaha, mionjona mb’e Kedare, vaho korendaho o anan-tatiñanañeo.
29 Take their tents and their flocks! Carry off their tent curtains and all their possessions! Take their camels for yourselves. Shout out to them: “Terror is everywhere!”
Ho kopahe’ iereo ty kivoho naho o lia-rai’ iareoo, ho tavane’ iareo ho am-bata’e o lamban-temetseo, naho o vara’ iareoo, naho o rameva’ iareoo; vaho ho koraheñe ama’iareo, ty hoe, Hankàñe mb’etia mb’eroa!
30 Run! Get away as far as you can! Find somewhere to hide, people of Hazor, declares the Lord. For Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has made plans to attack and destroy you.
Miorata añe, miherereaha! mañialoa an-dalek’ ao, ry mpimoneñe e Katsore ao, hoe t’Iehovà; fa nisafirie’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele, vaho naereñere’e talin-dia.
31 Go and attack that self-satisfied nation that thinks it's safe, declares the Lord. They don't have any barred gates and have no allies.
Miongaha, mionjona mb’amy fifeheañe mierañerañey, i miaiñañoleñañey; hoe t’Iehovà; I tsy aman-kijoly, tsy aman-tsikadañey; mpimoneñe am-bangiñe.
32 Their camels and large herds will be plunder for you. I will scatter them everywhere, these desert people who trim their hair on the sides of their heads. I will bring disaster down on them from all directions, declares the Lord.
Hakopake o rameva’ iareoo, ho tongañe o añombe’ iareo mitozantozañeo; vaho hampiparatsiaheko mb’amo tioke iabio o mihitsike ty am-bala’eo, haseseko hankàñe boak’an -dafi’e iaby, hoe t’Iehovà.
33 Hazor will become a place where jackals live, a place abandoned forever. No one will live there; it will become uninhabited.
Ho poakorom-panaloke ty Katsore, hoakoake nainai’e kitro-katroke, ie ho po-pimoneñe, ndra ty ana’ ondaty tsy hañialo ao.
34 This is the Lord's message that came to Jeremiah the prophet about Elam. This was at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah.
Ty tsara’ Iehovà niheo am’ Iirmeà mpitoky ty amy Elame ami’ty fifotoram-pifehea’ i Tsidkia’ mpanjaka’ Iehodà, manao ty hoe:
35 This is what the Lord Almighty says: Look! I'm going to smash the bows of the Elamites, the weapon they rely on for their power.
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy; Inao! ho pekañeko ty fale’ i Elame, ty fiaolon-kaozara’ iareo.
36 I will bring winds from all directions to attack Elam, and I will scatter them in all directions. There won't be a nation that doesn't have some of Elam's exiles.
Le hatreatrèko amy Elame i tiok’efatse boak’ an-kotsok’ efa’ i likerañey rey, naho hampiparaitaheko mb’amy tioke rey iereo; vaho tsy eo ty fifeheañe tsy higodañe’ o naronje boak’ Elameo.
37 I will smash the Elamites in front of their enemies, before those who want to kill them. In my furious anger I will bring disaster down on them, declares the Lord. I will chase them down with the sword until I have destroyed them.
Le hampiroreheko añatrefa’ o rafelahi’eo t’i Elame, naho aolo’ o mipay ty fiai’iareoo; naho hametsahako hankàñe, naho ty haboseko miforoforo; hoe t’Iehovà; vaho hañitrifako fibara hañoridañe iareo ampara’ te mongotse;
38 I will set up my throne in Elam, and destroy its king and officials, declares the Lord.
le hapoko Elame ao ty fiambesako vaho ho rotsaheko boak’ao ze mpanjaka ndra roandriañe, hoe t’Iehovà.
39 However, later on I will bring the Elamites back from exile, declares the Lord.
Fe ho tondrok’ amo andro honka’eo te hampoliko o ­nasese hirik’ i Elame, hoe t’Iehovà.
