Jeremiah 5
1 Run to and from by the streetes of Ierusalem, and beholde nowe, and knowe, and inquire in the open places thereof, if ye can finde a man, or if there be any that executeth iudgement, and seeketh the trueth, and I will spare it.
Miveziveze eny an-dalamben’ i Jerosalema ianareo, ka izahao sy fantaro ary tadiavo ao an-kalalahana, fa raha mba misy olona hitanareo, izay manao ny marina sy mitady ny hitsiny, dia havelako ny helok’ i Jerosalema.
2 For though they say, The Lord liueth, yet doe they sweare falsely.
Ary na dia misy aza manao hoe: Raha velona koa Jehovah, dia entiny mianian-tsy tò izany.
3 O Lord, are not thine eyes vpon the trueth? thou hast striken them, but they haue not sorowed: thou hast consumed them, but they haue refused to receiue correction: they haue made their faces harder then a stone, and haue refused to returne.
Jehovah ô, tsy mijery ny toe-panahy mahatoky va ny masonao? Namely azy Hianao, nefa tsy nahatsiaro naharary izy; Nandany azy Hianao, nefa tsy nety nino anatra izy; Nohamafisiny mihoatra noho ny harambato ny tarehiny, tsy nety niverina izy.
4 Therefore I saide, Surely they are poore, they are foolish, for they know not the way of the Lord, nor the iudgement of their God.
Ka dia hoy izaho: Olona ambany ireto; Adala izy fa tsy mahalala ny lalan’ i Jehovah, na ny fitsipik’ Andriamaniny;
5 I will get me vnto the great men, and will speake vnto them: for they haue knowen the way of the Lord, and the iudgement of their God: but these haue altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bondes.
Handeha ho any amin’ ny lehibe aho lahy ka hiteny aminy, fa ireny dia mahalala ny lalan’ i Jehovah sy ny fitsipik’ Andriamaniny; Kanjo ireny koa aza dia samy efa nanapaka zioga sy nanito fatorana.
6 Wherefore a lyon out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolfe of the wildernesse shall destroy them: a leopard shall watch ouer their cities: euery one that goeth out thence, shall be torne in pieces, because their trespasses are many, and their rebellions are increased.
Koa noho izany dia mamely azy ny liona avy any an’ ala, ary mandringana azy ny amboadia avy any an-efitra, ny leoparda miandry hamely ny tanànany, ka izay rehetra mivoaka avy ao dia viraviraina; Fa efa maro ny fahadisoany, ary fatratra ny fiodinany.
7 Howe should I spare thee for this? thy children haue forsaken me, and sworne by them that are no gods: though I fed them to the full, yet they committed adulterie, and assembled them selues by companies in the harlots houses.
Koa nahoana Aho no hamela ny helokao? Efa nahafoy Ahy ny zanakao ka efa nianiana tamin’ izay tsy Andriamanitra; Efa nampianianiko izy, nefa nijangajanga ihany ka nirohitra niditra tao an-tranon’ ny vehivavy janga.
8 They rose vp in the morning like fed horses: for euery man neyed after his neighbours wife.
Tahaka ny soavaly tsara fahana izy ka nikarenjy tamin’ izay tiany, samy naneno tamin’ ny vadin’ ny namany avy.
9 Shall I not visite for these things, saith the Lord? Shall not my soule be auenged on such a nation as this?
Tsy hovaliako va izy amin’ izany? hoy Jehovah; Ary tsy hialako fo va ny firenena toy izany?
10 Clime vp vpon their walles, and destroy them, but make not a full ende: take away their batilments, for they are not the Lords.
Miakara eo amin’ ny mandany ianareo, ka mameleza, nefa aza dia levonina avokoa izy; Esory ny sakeliny, satria tsy an’ i Jehovah izy.
11 For the house of Israel, and the house of Iudah haue grieuously trespassed against me, saith the Lord.
Fa efa nivadika tamiko mihitsy ny taranak’ Isiraely sy ny taranak’ i Joda, hoy Jehovah.
12 They haue denied the Lord, and saide, It is not he, neither shall the plague come vpon vs, neither shall we see sworde nor famine.
Nahafoy an’ i Jehovah izy ka nanao hoe: Tsy Izy no izy; Tsy hisy loza hanjo antsika, ary tsy hahita sabatra na mosary isika;
13 And the Prophetes shall be as winde, and the worde is not in them: thus shall it come vnto them.
Ny mpaminany dia hanjary rivotra, ary tsy ao am-pony Ilay miteny; Eny, izany no hanjo azy.
14 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God of hostes, Because ye speake such wordes, beholde, I will put my wordes into thy mouth, like a fire, and this people shall be as wood, and it shall deuoure them.
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro. Noho ny nanaovanareo izany teny izany, indro, hataoko afo ny teniko izay eo am-bavanao, ary ity firenena ity ho kitay hazo ka holevoniny.
15 Loe, I will bring a nation vpon you from farre, O house of Israel, saith the Lord, which is a mightie nation, and an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither vnderstandest what they say.
Indro, efa hitondra firenena avy lavitra Aho hamely anareo, ry taranak’ Isiraely, hoy Jehovah, dia firenena mateza hery, Firenena hatry ny ela, Firenena izay tsy fantatrao ny fiteniny, ka tsy ho azonao izay lazainy.
16 Whose quiuer is as an open sepulchre: they are all very strong.
Ny tranon-jana-tsipìkany dia tahaka ny fasana misokatra; Izy rehetra dia samy lehilahy mahery avokoa.
17 And they shall eate thine haruest and thy bread: they shall deuoure thy sonnes and thy daughters: they shall eate vp thy sheepe and thy bullocks: they shall eate thy vines and thy figge trees: they shall destroy with the sworde thy fenced cities, wherein thou didest trust.
Ary hohaniny ny vokatrao sy ny haninao, hohaniny ny zanakao-lahy sy ny zanakao-vavy, hohaniny ny ondry aman’ osinao sy ny ombinao, hohaniny ny voalobokao sy ny aviavinao, sady horavany amin’ ny sabatra ny tanàna mimanda izay itokianao.
18 Neuerthelesse at those dayes, sayth the Lord, I will not make a full ende of you.
Nefa na dia amin’ izany andro izany aza, hoy Jehovah, tsy dia holevoniko avokoa ianareo.
19 And when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the Lord our God doe these things vnto vs? then shalt thou answere them, Like as ye haue forsaken me and serued strange gods in your land, so shall ye serue strangers in a land that is not yours.
Ary raha hoy izy: Nahoana Jehovah Andriamanitsika no dia nanao izany rehetra izany tamintsika? Dia hovalianao hoe: Toy ny nahafoizanareo Ahy sy ny nanompoanareo andriamani-kafa teo amin’ ny taninareo no hanompoanareo ny firenen-kafa any amin’ ny tany izay tsy anareo.
20 Declare this in the house of Iaakob, and publish it in Iudah, saying,
Ambarao ao amin’ ny taranak’ i Jakoba, ary torio ao amin’ ny Joda hoe:
21 Heare nowe this, O foolish people, and without vnderstanding, which haue eyes and see not, which haue eares and heare not.
Henoy izao, ry firenena adala sady tsy manan-tsaina, izay mana-maso, fa tsy mahita, ary manan-tsofina, fa tsy mandre:
22 Feare ye not me, saith the Lord? or will ye not be afraide at my presence, which haue placed the sand for the bounds of the sea by the perpetuall decree that it cannot passe it, and though the waues thereof rage, yet can they not preuaile, though they roare, yet can they not passe ouer it?
Izaho va tsy atahoranareo? hoy Jehovah; Tsy mangovitra va ianareo eo anatrehako, izay nanao ny fasika ho fefin’ ny ranomasina, dia fetra mandrakizay tsy azony hihoarana? Ka na dia mitopatopa aza ny onjany, dia tsy mahavaky azy, ary na dia mirohondrohona aza, dia tsy mahahoatra azy.
23 But this people hath an vnfaithfull and rebellious heart: they are departed and gone.
Fa ity firenena ity dia manana fo maditra sy miodina; Mihodìna izy ka lasa,
24 For they say not in their heart, Let vs nowe feare the Lord our God, that giueth raine both early and late in due season: hee reserueth vnto vs the appointed weekes of the haruest.
Ary tsy manao anakampo akory hoe: Aoka isika hatahotra an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika, izay mandatsaka ranonorana, dia ny loha-orana sy ny fara-orana amin’ ny fotoany avy; Ary ireo herinandro voatendry ho amin’ ny fararano dia tandremany ho antsika.
25 Yet your iniquities haue turned away these things, and your sinnes haue hindred good things from you.
Ny helokareo no nampiala izany, ary ny fahotanareo no misakana ny soa tsy ho azonareo.
26 For among my people are founde wicked persons, that lay waite as hee that setteth snares: they haue made a pit, to catch men.
Fa misy hita fa ratsy fanahy ny oloko; Mamitsaka sy mijoko toy ny mpamandri-borona izy, mamela-pandrika izy, ka olona no azony.
27 As a cage is full of birdes, so are their houses full of deceite: thereby they are become great and waxen riche.
Toy ny tranom-borona feno vorona no mahafeno fitaka ny tranony; Ary noho izany dia tonga lehibe sy mpanankarena izy.
28 They are waxen fat and shining: they doe ouerpasse the deedes of the wicked: they execute no iudgement, no not the iudgement of the fatherlesse: yet they prosper, though they execute no iudgement for the poore.
Efa mihatavy izy ka mandimandina, dia mihoa-pampana amin’ ny fanaovan-dratsy; Tsy mety mitsara ady mba hahazoan’ ny kamboty ny rariny izy, ary ny adin’ ny malahelo tsy mba tsarainy.
29 Shall I not visite for these things, sayth the Lord? or shall not my soule be auenged on such a nation as this?
Tsy hovaliako amin’ izany va izy? hoy Jehovah; Tsy hialako fo va ny firenena toy izany?
30 An horrible and filthie thing is committed in the land.
Zava-mahagaga sy mahatsiravina no atao eo amin’ ny tany;
31 The Prophets prophesie lies, and ye Priests receiue giftes in their handes, and my people delite therein. What will ye then doe in the ende thereof?
Ny mpaminany maminany lainga, ny mpisorona: manapaka araka izay atoron’ ireny, ary ny oloko mankasitraka izany; Koa hanao ahoana re ianareo any am-parany?
