Jeremiah 50
1 This is the Lord's message that he told Jeremiah the prophet to give about Babylon and the country of Babylonia.
Izao no teny nampilazain’ i Jehovah an’ i Jeremia mpaminany ny amin’ i Babylona dia ny tanin’ ny Kaldeana.
2 Tell everyone the news! Hold up a sign and shout it out, don't hold back! Tell them, Babylon has fallen! Her god Bel is humiliated; the power of her god Marduk is broken; all Babylon's idols are humiliated and their power is broken.
Ambaraonareo, eny, torio any amin’ ny firenena, ary manangàna faneva, torio, fa aza afenina, ataovy hoe: Afaka Babylona! Mangaihay Bela, raiki-tahotra Merodaka! Eny, mangaihay ny sampiny, Raiki-tahotra ny sarin-javatra!
3 A northern nation will come and attack her and turn the country into a wasteland. No one will live there—both people and animals will desert it.
Fa misy firenena avy any avaratra miakatra hamely azy ka hahatonga ny taniny ho lao tsy hisy mponina intsony; Fa na ny olona na ny biby dia samy handositra ka ho lasa avokoa.
4 That's the time when the people of Israel and Judah will join together, weeping as they go to worship the Lord their God, declares the Lord.
Amin’ izany andro izany sy amin’ izany fotoana izany, hoy Jehovah, dia ho avy ny Zanak’ Isirsely, dia izy mbamin’ ny taranak’ i Joda, eny, handeha izy sady hitomany eny am-pandehanana ka hitady an’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny.
5 They will ask the way to Zion, and start going in that direction. They will arrive and commit themselves to the Lord in an everlasting agreement that won't ever be forgotten.
Hanontany ny lalana mankany Ziona izy sady hanatrika hankany ka hanao hoe: Avia, ka maneke ho an’ i Jehovah amin’ ny fanekena mandrakizay izay tsy hohadinoina.
6 My people are sheep that are lost, led astray by their shepherds, making them wander aimlessly in the mountains. They go from place to place in the mountains and hills, forgetting where they used to rest.
Ondry very ny oloko, fa ny mpiandry azy nampirenireny azy, eny, nampirenireny azy teny an-tendrombohitra izy; Nirenireny teny an-tendrombohitra sy teny an-kavoana ireny. Ka hadinony ny tany fandriany.
7 All those who came across them attacked them. Their enemies declared, “We're not to blame! They're the ones who sinned against the Lord, their true resting place; the Lord who was the hope of their forefathers.”
Izay rehetra nahita azy dia nandringana azy, ary ny fahavalony nanao hoe: Tsy manan-keloka izahay, satria izy efa nanota tamin’ i Jehovah, fonenan’ ny fahamarinana, dia Jedovah, fanantenan’ ny razany.
8 Run away from the city of Babylon; get away from the country of Babylonia! Lead the way like the male goats that lead the flock.
Mandosira hila an’ i Babylona, eny, mialà amin’ ny tanin’ ny Kaldeana, ary aoka ianareo ho tahaka ny anankiray izay tari-dalan’ ny ondry aman’ osy andiany.
9 Look! I'm assembling a coalition of strong northern nations who will come and attack Babylon. They will line up in battle against her; she will be conquered from the north. Their arrows will be like the best warriors—they don't miss!
Fa, indro, Izaho hamporisika sy hampiakatra firenena lehibe manao andiany avy any avaratra hamely an’ i Babylona; Ary hilahatra hamely azy ireo, ka avy ao no hanafahany azy; Ny zana-tsipìkany ho tahaka ny lehilahy mahery sady mahay, izay tsy miverina foana.
10 Babylonia will be plundered—everyone who plunders her will have plenty of loot, declares the Lord.
Ary Kaldea ho voababo; Izay rehetra mamabo azy dia ho afa-po, hoy Jehovah.
11 Though for now you Babylonians celebrate and sing triumphantly as you plunder my special people, though for now you jump around like a frisky young cow treading out the grain, and neigh like stallions,
Satria, mifaly sy miravoravo ianareo, ry mpamabo ny lovako, eny, mifalihavanja toy ny ombivavy kely mively vary ianareo sady maneno toy ny soavaly matanjaka;
12 you are going to bring shame on your mother, you are going to disgrace the one who gave birth to you. Watch as she becomes the least important of all the nations, a wilderness, a dry desert land.
Dia ho menatra indrindra ny reninareo, hangaihay ilay niteraka anareo; Indro, ny faran’ ny firenena, efitra sy tany karankaina ary tani-hay!
13 Because of Lord's angry punishment, she will be deserted, completely desolate. Everyone who passes by will be horrified at what has happened to Babylon, and sneer at all her wounds.
Noho ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah dia tsy honenana Babylona. Fa ho tonga tany lao avokoa; Izay rehetra mandalo azy dia ho gaga ka hisitrisitra noho ny loza rehetra namelezana azy.
14 All you archers, line up ready for battle around Babylon. Shoot at her! Don't save your arrows, because she has sinned against the Lord.
Milahara manodidina hamely an’ i Babylona, ianareo rehetra izay manenjana tsipìka; Asio izy, fa aza tsitsina ny zana-tsipìka, fa tamin’ i Jehovah no nanotany.
15 Shout war-cries against her from every side! She holds up her hands in surrender. Her towers have collapsed; her walls are demolished. This is the Lord paying her back, so you too can pay her back—do the same to her as she did to others.
Akoray manodidina izy! Fa efa nikoy; Nirodana ny bateriny, rava ny mandany; Fa famalian’ i Jehovah izany. Valio izy, eny, toy ny efa nataony no mba ataovinareo aminy kosa.
16 Stop the sower from sowing in the country of Babylon, and stop the harvester swinging the sickle to reap the grain. Under the threat of the enemies' swords, everyone runs home to their own people, they go back to where they came from.
Aringano tsy ho any Babylona ny mpamafy sy izay mitana fijinjana amin’ ny fararano; Fa noho ny sabatra mandoza dia samy hihodina ho any amin’ ny fireneny avy izy, ary samy handositra ho any amin’ ny taniny avy.
17 The Israelites are a flock that's been chased and scattered by lions. The first on the attack was the king of Assyria; then lastly Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon crushed their bones.
Ondry iray voavily ny Isiraely, Liona no nanenjika azy; Voalohany dia ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria no nandany azy. Ary farany dia ity Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, ity no nanapatapaka ny taolany.
18 So this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I'm going to punish the king of Babylon and his country just like I punished the king of Assyria.
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Indro, hovaliko ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona sy ny taniny toy ny efa namaliako ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria.
19 I will lead the Israelites back to their pasturelands, to feed on Carmel and Bashan, to satisfy their appetites on the hills of Ephraim and Gilead.
Ary hampodiko ho any amin’ ny saha fiandrasana azy indray ny Isiraely, ka hihinana ao Karmela sy Basana izy; Ary any an-tany havoan’ i Daima sy Gileada no hahavoky azy.
20 This will be when the guilt and the sins of Israel and Judah will be looked for, but none will be found, because I will forgive those people who remain that I'm looking after, declares the Lord.
Amin’ izany andro izany sy amin’ izany fotoana izany, hoy Jehovah, dia hotadiavina izay heloky ny Isiraely, fa tsy hisy; Ary izay fahotan’ ny Joda, fa tsy ho hita; Satria havelako ny helok’ izay sisa narovako.
21 Go and attack the land of Merathaim, and the people living in Pekod. Kill them with swords, set them apart for destruction, along with everything they leave behind. Make sure you do everything I have ordered you to do, declares the Lord.
Iakaro Ibefikomiana sy ny mponina ao Arapamaliana; Ravao sy aringano manarakaraka azy, hoy Jehovah, ary manaova araka izay rehetra nandidiako anao.
22 The noise of battle is heard in the country, the noise of terrible destruction.
Misy tabataban’ ady amin’ ny tany sy fandringanana be.
23 See how the hammer of the whole earth is lying broken in pieces in the ground! The nations look with horror on what Babylon has become!
Indrisy! tapaka sy torotoro ilay fampohazan’ ny tany rehetra; Indrisy! Babylona efa tonga figagana any amin’ ny firenena.
24 Babylon, I set a trap for you, and you were caught before you realized it. You were hunted down and captured because you fought against the Lord.
Nofandrihako ianao, ry Babylona, ka voa, nefa tsy fantatrao akory; Hita ka voasambotra koa ianao, Satria nila ady tamin’ i Jehovah.
25 In his anger the Lord opened his armory to bring out his weapons, for this is what the Lord God Almighty is doing in the country of Babylonia.
Novohan’ i Jehovah ny firaketany. Ka navoakany ny fitaovan’ ny fahatezerany; Fa misy hataon’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Kaldeana.
26 Come and attack her from every side! Open her granaries; collect the loot you take from her like piles of grain. Set her apart for destruction; don't leave any survivors.
Avia avokoa ianareo rehetra hamely azy; Vohay ny trano fitoeran-kanina, atobitobio toy ny antontan-bary, ka levony avokoa izay ao; Fa aza avela hisy sisa ho azy.
27 Kill all her young bulls with the sword; let them be slaughtered. What a disaster for them, because their time has come when they're punished.
Vonoy ireo ombilahy rehetra, ary aoka hidina ho any amin’ ny famonoana izy. Mahita loza izy, fa tonga ny androny, dia ny fotoana hamaliana azy.
28 (Listen to the refugees and survivors who have returned from Babylonia, announcing in Zion, “The Lord our God is paying them back for what happened to his Temple.”)
Injany! misy feon’ izay mandositra sy izay afaka avy any amin’ ny tany Babylona, hanambara ny famalian’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika ao Ziona, dia ny famaliana noho ny tempoliny.
29 Call up the archers to attack Babylon, yes, all of them! Completely surround her—don't let anyone escape. Pay her back for what she's done, because in her pride she defied the Lord, Israel's Holy One.
Antsoy ny mpandefa zana-tsipìka hamely an’ i Babylona. Dia ny mpanenjana tsipìka rehetra; Mitobia manodidina hamely azy; Aoka tsy hisy ho afaka izy; Valio araka ny asany izy, eny, araka ny asa rehetra nataony, no mba ataovy aminy kosa; Fa niavonavona tamin’ i Jehovah izy, dia tamin’ ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely.
30 As a result her young men will be killed in the streets; all her soldiers will die that day, declares the Lord.
Koa hiampatrampatra eny an-kalalahana ny zatovony, ary ho ringana ny miaramilany rehetra amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah.
31 Watch out, because I'm against you, you arrogant people! declares the Lord God Almighty. Your time has come when I will punish you.
Indro, hiatrika aminao Aho, ry Ifiavonavonana, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro; Fa tonga ny andronao, dia ny fotoana hamaliako anao.
32 You arrogant people will trip and fall. Nobody will be there to pick you up. I'm going to set fire to your towns and burn up everything around you.
Ho tafintohina Ifiavonavonana, dia ho lavo, ka tsy hisy hanarina azy; Ary handrehitra afo ao an-tanànany Aho, ka handevona ny manodidina azy rehetra izany.
33 This is what the Lord Almighty says: The people of Israel and Judah are being mistreated. All who captured them are holding onto them, refusing to let them go.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Niara-nampahorina ny Zanak’ Isiraely sy ny taranak’ i Joda; Ary izay rehetra namabo azy dia mihazona azy mafy ka tsy mety mandefa azy.
34 But the one who rescues them is powerful; the Lord Almighty is his name. He will defend them and their cause, so he may bring peace on earth, but trouble to the people of Babylon.
Mahery ny Mpanavotra azy, Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no anarany; Handahatra ny adiny tokoa Izy, mba hampiadana ny tany sy hampangovitra ny mponina any Babylona kosa.
35 A sword is raised to attack the Babylonians, declares the Lord, ready to attack those who live in Babylon, and her officials and wise men.
Indro! hisy sabatra hamely ny Kaldeana mbamin’ ny mponina any Babylona sy ny mpanapaka azy sy ny olon-kendriny, hoe Jehovah.
36 A sword is raised to attack her false prophets, and they will become fools. A sword is raised to attack her soldiers, and they will be terrified.
Indro! hisy sabatra hamely ny mpibedibedy, ka ho very saina izy; Indro! hisy sabatra hamely ny lehilahy maheriny, ka hivadi-po izy.
37 A sword is raised to attack her horses and chariots, along with all the foreign soldiers with her, and they will become like frightened women. A sword is raised to attack her stores of treasure, and they will be plundered.
Indro! hisy sabatra hamely ny soavaliny sy ny kalesiny mbamin’ ny olona samy hafa firenena rehetra ao aminy, ka ho tonga toy ny vehivavy ireny! Indro! Hisy sabatra hamely ny firaketany, ka horobaina izany.
38 A drought has hit her rivers, and they will dry up. For it's a country full of pagan images. These horrible idols drive their worshipers mad.
Ny fihantonan’ ny andro no mahatankina ny ranony; Fa tany be sarin-javatra voasokitra izy, ary ny sampiny mahatahotra mahadala azy.
39 Consequently desert animals and hyenas will live there, and it will be a home for owls. It will be uninhabited forever—it won't be lived in from one generation to the next.
Koa ny bibi-dia any an-efitra sy ny kary sy ny ostritsa no honina ao; Tsy honenana intsony mandrakizay izy ary tsy hitoerana hatramin’ ny taranaka fara-mandimby.
40 In the same way that God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns, declares the Lord, no one will live there, no one will stay there.
Toy ny nandravan’ Andriamanitra an’ i Sodoma sy Gomora mbamin’ ny tanàna eny akaikiny, hoy Jehovah, no tsy hisian’ olona honina any na zanak’ olombelona hivahiny any.
41 Look! An army is advancing from the north. A great nation and many kings are coming against you from the distant lands.
Indro, misy firenena avy any avaratra, dia firenena lehibe sy mpanjaka maro no mitsangana avy any amin’ ny faran’ ny tany.
42 They're carrying bows and javelins. They are cruel and merciless. When they shout it's like the sea roaring. They ride on horses and attack in formation against you, people of Babylon.
Tsipika sy lefona no entiny; Lozabe sy tsy mamindra fo izy, ny feony dia mirohondrohona toy ny ranomasina, sady mitaingin-tsoavaly izy ary voaomana tahaka ny lehilahy ho amin’ ny ady, hamely anao, ry Babylona zanakavavy.
43 The king of Babylon has heard the news and he's terrified. He's overcome with fear, in pain like a woman in labor.
Efa ren’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona ny lazany, ka miraviravy tànany izy; Fahoriana no mahazo azy, eny, fanaintainana tahaka ny vehivavy raha miteraka.
44 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 Babylonians 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?
Indro, toy ny fiakatry ny liona avy ao amin’ ny kirihitrala eny amoron’ i Jordana no hiakarany ho any amin’ ny misy ahitra mateza; Nefa hampandosiriko tampoka hiala ao aminy izy, ary izay olona anankiray voafidy no hotendreko hanapaka azy; Fa iza no tahaka Ahy, ary iza no hifandahatra amiko? Ary iza moa no mpiandry ondry mahajanona eo anatrehako?
45 So listen to what the Lord has planned to do to Babylon and the country of Babylonia: Their children will be dragged away like lambs from the flock, and because of them their pasture will become a wasteland.
Koa henoy ny saina avy amin’ i Jehovah, izay nosaininy hamelezana an’ i Babylona, sy ny heviny izay noheveriny hamelezana ny tanin’ ny Kaldeana: Hoviraviraina tokoa ireny, dia ny kely indrindra amin’ ny ondry; Ho gaga azy tokoa ny saha fiandrasana azy.
46 The sound of Babylon's capture will make the earth shake; their cries will be heard throughout the nations.
Noho ny antsoantso hoe: “Efa afaka Babylona”, dia mihorohoro ny tany, ary ny fitarainana dia re any amin’ ny firenena.
