Jeremiah 18
1 The worde which came to Ieremiah from the Lord, saying,
Ty tsara niheo am’ Iirmeà boak’ am’ Iehovà, manao ty hoe:
2 Arise, and go downe into the potters house, and there shall I shewe thee my words.
Miongaha, mizotsoa mb’an-kiboho’ i mpanao valàñe-taney mb’eo, le hampijanjiñeko azo eo o entakoo.
3 Then I went downe to the potters house, and behold, he wrought a worke on the wheeles.
Aa le nizotso mb’añ’anjomba’ i mpanao valàñe taney mb’eo, le nizoeko eo re nifanehak’ amo larò’eo.
4 And the vessell that he made of clay, was broken in the hand of the potter. so he returned, and made it another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
Aa ndra mbia’mbia aman-kandra i valàñe am-pità’ i mpanao valàñe-taneiy, le namboare’e indraike ho valàñe hafa, ty amy ze natao’ i mpanao valàñe taney soa hanoeñe.
5 Then the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe:
6 O house of Israel, cannot I doe with you as this potter, sayth the Lord? beholde, as the clay is in the potters hande, so are you in mine hande, O house of Israel.
Ry anjomba’ Israele, Aa vaho tsy mete hanoeko ama’ areo hao ty sata’ i mpanao valàñe-taney? hoe t’Iehovà. Ingo, te hambañe ami’ty lietse am-pità’ i mpanao valàñe taneio, inahareo an-tañako, ry anjomba’ Israele.
7 I will speake suddenly against a nation or against a kingdome to plucke it vp, and to roote it out and to destroy it.
Ie volañako ami’ty fifeheañe, naho ami’ty fifelehañe, t’ie haombotse, naho harotsake, vaho hahomake,
8 But if this nation, against whom I haue pronounced, turne from their wickednesse, I will repent of the plague that I thought to bring vpon them.
fe iambohoa’ i fifeheañe nafàkoy o hatsivokara’eo, le hivalik’amy raty ho nafetsako ama’ey.
9 And I wil speake suddenly concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdome to builde it and to plant it.
Le ie volañeko i fifeheañe naho ty fifelehañe, t’ie harafetse naho haoreñe;
10 But if it do euill in my sight and heare not my voyce, I will repent of ye good that I thought to do for them.
f’ie manao raty amasoko eo, tsy mañaoñe ty feoko; le haneñenako i soa nitaroñeko hitahiako azey.
11 Speake thou nowe therefore vnto the men of Iudah, and to the inhabitants of Ierusalem, saying, Thus saith ye Lord, Behold, I prepare a plague for you, and purpose a thing against you: returne you therefore euery one from his euill way, and make your wayes and your workes good.
Aa le saontsio am’ondati’ Iehodào, naho amo mpimoneñe e Ierosalaimeo, ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà: Inao, hañajariako hankàñe, naho ikitrohako hekoheko; Mitoliha! songa amy fitsilea’e tsy vokatsey, vaho ovao o sata’ areoo naho o fitoloña’ areoo.
12 But they sayde desperately, Surely wee will walke after our owne imaginations, and doe euery man after the stubburnnesse of his wicked heart.
Fa hoe iereo: Famoeam-piay izay; fa hañavelo amo fisafiria’aio zahay, sindre hañorike ty fanjeharan’arofo’e.
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Aske now among the heathen, who hath heard such thinges? the virgin of Israel hath done very filthily.
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà: Añontaneo amo fifeheañeo henaneo, ia ty nahajanjiñe i hoe zay; toe nanao halatsàñe i somondrara ana’ Israeley.
14 Will a man forsake the snowe of Lebanon, which commeth from the rocke of the fielde? or shall the colde flowing waters, that come from another place, be forsaken?
Hipotak’ amy vato an-kivokey hao ty fanala’ i Lebanone? Mb’ia te nasintake i rano manintsy mikararake boak’añ’ambahiniy?
15 Because my people hath forgotten me, and haue burnt incense to vanitie, and their prophets haue caused them to stumble in their wayes from the auncient wayes, to walke in the pathes and way that is not troden,
Fe nandikok’ ahy ondatikoo, nañembok’ an-drahare tsy vente’e; nampitsikapy iareo amo lala’eo, amo lalan-taoloo, hitsilea’ iareo añ’oloñoloñe ao, fa tsy an-dàmoke;
16 To make their land desolate and a perpetual derision, so that euery one that passeth thereby, shalbe astonished and wagge his head,
Hanoeñe halatsañe ty tane’ iareo, fikosihañe nainai’e; Songa ho vereñe ty mioza ama’e, vaho hikofikofi-doha.
17 I will scatter them with an East winde before the enemie: I will shewe them the backe, and not the face in the day of their destruction.
Haboeleko manahake t’ie an-tioke atiñanañe añatrefa’ o rafelahi’ iareoo; hiambohoako, fa tsy hampiatrefako laharañe, amy androm-peh’ohatsey.
18 Then sayde they, Come, and let vs imagine some deuice against Ieremiah: for the Lawe shall not perish from the Priest, nor counsell from the wise, nor the worde from the Prophet: come, and let vs smite him with the tongue, and let vs not giue heede to any of his words.
Le hoe iereo, Antao hikitro-draha am’ Iirmeà; fa tsy ho modo amo mpisoroñeo ty Hàke naho amo mpitokio i tsaray. Antao hanjevoñe aze am-pameleke, fa leo raik’ amo enta’eo tsy ho haoñen-tika.
19 Hearken vnto mee, O Lord, and heare the voyce of them that contend with me.
Haoño iraho ry Iehovà, vaho janjiño ty feo’ o mpikilily ahikoo.
20 Shall euill be recompensed for good? for they haue digged a pit for my soule: remember that I stood before thee, to speake good for the, and to turne away thy wrath from them.
Ty raty hao ty añavahañe ty soa? amy te nihalia’ iareo koboñe ty fiaiko. Tiahio i niongahako añatrefa’o eo nitaliliako hasoa, hampiholiarañe iareo amy haviñera’oy.
21 Therefore, deliuer vp their children to famine, and let them drop away by the force of the sworde, and let their wiues be robbed of their children, and be widowes: and let their husbands be put to death, and let their yong men be slayne by the sword in the battell.
Aa le aseseo mb’an-kerè o keleia’eo, ampikovovoho mb’an-kaozara’ i fibaray mb’eo; le ampifandalao o ana’eo o rakembao ho ramavoiñe; naho ampizevo hivetrake ondati’eo, vaho ampitrobahem-pibara an-kotakotak’ ao o ajalahi’iareoo.
22 Let the crye bee heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring an hoste suddenly vpon them: for they haue digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feete.
Ee te ho janjiñeñe boak’añ’anjomba’ iareo ty kaikaike, ie ampivovoa’o firimboñan-dahin-defoñe; amy te nihalia’ iareo koboñe hitsepak’ ahy, vaho nañetaha’ iareo fandrike o tombokoo.
23 Yet Lord thou knowest al their counsel against me tendeth to death: forgiue not their iniquitie, neither put out their sinne from thy sight, but let them be ouerthrowen before thee: deale thus with them in the time of thine anger.
Fe arofoana’o, ry Iehovà, ze hene fikililia’ iareo hañè-doza amako, ko ihevean-kakeo vaho ko faopaohe’o tsy ho añatrefa’o o tahi’iareoo; f’ie rotsaho aolo’o eo, ondroho amy andron-kaviñera’oy.
