Jeremiah 9
1 Oh, that mine head were full of water and mine eyes a fountaine of teares, that I might weepe day and night for the slayne of the daughter of my people.
Enga anie ka ho rano ny lohako, ary ho loharanon-dranomaso ny masoko, mba hitomaniako andro aman’ alina noho ny voavono amin’ ny oloko zanakavavy!
2 Oh, that I had in the wildernes a cottage of wayfaring men, that I might leaue my people, and go from them: for they be all adulterers and an assembly of rebels,
Enga anie ka hahita fitoerana any an-efitra aho tahaka ny fitoeran’ ny mpandeha! Dia hahafoy ny fireneko aho ka hiala aminy, satria mpijangajanga avokoa izy rehetra, eny, mpivadika miray tetika izy.
3 And they bende their tongues like their bowes for lyes: but they haue no courage for the trueth vpon the earth: for they proceede from euill to worse, and they haue not knowen mee, sayth the Lord.
Manenjana ny lelany toy ny fanenjana tsipìka izy mba handefa lainga. Ary tsy araka ny marina no mahahery azy etỳ ambonin’ ny tany; Fa mandroso amin’ ny ratsy ka hatramin’ ny ratsy izy, ary Izaho tsy mba fantany, hoy Jehovah.
4 Let euery one take heede of his neighbour, and trust you not in any brother: for euery brother will vse deceite, and euery friend will deale deceitfully,
Samia miaro tena amin’ ny namany avy ianareo. Ary aza misy matoky olona na dia ny rahalahy aza; Fa ny rahalahy rehetra dia mamingana tokoa, ary ny namana rehetra mandehandeha manaratsy.
5 And euery one wil deceiue his friende, and wil not speake the trueth: for they haue taught their tongues to speake lies, and take great paynes to do wickedly.
Izy rehetra samy mamitaka ny namany avy, ka tsy misy miteny marina; Mampianatra ny lelany handainga izy ary manasa-tena amin’ ny fanaovan-dratsy.
6 Thine habitation is in the middes of deceiuers: because of their deceit they refuse to know me, sayth the Lord.
Ny fonenanao dia ao anatin’ ny fitaka; Fitaka no nandavany tsy hahalalana Ahy, hoy Jehovah.
7 Therefore thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Behold, I wil melt them, and trie them: for what should I els do for the daughter of my people?
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Indro, handrendrika sy hizaha toetra azy Aho; Fa ahoana no hataoko noho ny amin’ ny oloko zanakavavy?
8 Their tongue is as an arow shot out, and speaketh deceite: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in his heart hee layeth waite for him.
Zana-tsipìka mahafaty ny lelany ka miteny fitaka; Raha amin’ ny vavany, dia miteny fihavanana amin’ ny namany izy, kanjo ao anatiny kosa dia manao otri-po.
9 Shal I not visit them for these things, saith the Lord? or shall not my soule be auenged on such a nation as this?
Tsy hovaliako va izy amin’ izany zavatra izany? hoy Jehovah, tsy hialako fo va ny firenena toy izany?
10 Vpon the mountaines will I take vp a weeping and a lamentation, and vpon the fayre places of the wildernes a mourning, because they are burnt vp: so that none can passe through them, neyther can men heare the voyce of the flocke: both the foule of the aire, and the beast are fled away and gone.
Noho ny amin’ ny tendrombohitra no hitomaniako sy hidradradrako, ary noho ny amin’ ny kijana any an-efitra no hanaovako hira fa halahelovana, satria may izy, ka tsy misy mandeha mamaky eo aminy, ary tsy misy fimàmàn’ omby re intsony, ary na ny voro-manidina na ny bibi-dia samy efa nandositra ka lasa avokoa.
11 And I wil make Ierusalem an heape, and a den of dragons, and I will make the cities of Iudah waste, without an inhabitant.
Ary Jerosalema dia hataoko korontam-bato sy fonenan’ ny amboadia; ary ny tanànan’ ny Joda hataoko lao tsy hisy mponina.
12 Who is wise, to vnderstande this? and to whome the mouth of the Lord hath spoken, euen he shall declare it. Why doth the land perish, and is burnt vp like a wildernesse, that none passeth through?
Iza no olon-kendry mba hahafantatra izao, sady efa nitenenan’ ny vavan’ i Jehovah mba hanambara izao? Fa nahoana no noravana ny tany sady may ho toy ny efitra, ka tsy misy mandeha mamaky eo aminy?
13 And the Lord sayeth, Because they haue forsaken my Lawe, which I set before them, and haue not obeyed my voice, neither walked thereafter,
Ary hoy Jehovah: satria nahafoy ny lalàko izay nataoko teo anoloany izy ka tsy nankato izany ary tsy nihaino ny feoko,
14 But haue walked after the stubbernesse of their owne heart, and after Baalims, which their fathers taught them,
Fa nandeha araka ny ditry ny fony sy nanaraka ireo Bala araka izay nampianarin’ ny razany azy,
15 Therefore thus sayth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Behold, I will feede this people with wormewood, and giue them waters of gall to drinke:
Dia izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Indro, hofahanako zava-mahafaty ity firenena ity sy hampisotroiko rano mangidy;
16 I wil scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers haue knowen, and I will send a sworde after them, til I haue consumed them.
Ary haeliko any amin’ izay jentilisa tsy fantany na fantatry ny razany izy; Ary hampanenjehiko azy ny sabatra ambara-pandaniko azy.
17 Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes, Take heede, and call for the mourning women, that they may come, and send for skilfull women that they may come,
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah. Tompon’ ny maro: Mihevera tsara, ka antsoy ireny vehivavy mpanao hira fahalahelovana mba ho avy; Eny, ampanalao ireny vehivavy mahay mba ho tonga;
18 And let them make haste, and let them take vp a lamentation for vs, that our eyes may cast out teares and our eye liddes gush out of water.
Ary asaovy haingana ireny hanandratra fidradradradrana ho antsika, mba hampijojy ny ranomasontsika sy hampivarina ny ranomaso avy amin’ ny hodimasontsika.
19 For a lamentable noyse is heard out of Zion, Howe are we destroyed, and vtterly confounded, for we haue forsaken the land, and our dwellings haue cast vs out.
Fa misy feo midradradradra re any Ziona hoe: Indrisy! rava isika; Afa-baraka indrindra isika, satria tsy maintsy mamoy ny tany, fa efa narodana ny trano nitoerantsika.
20 Therefore heare the worde of the Lord, O ye women, and let your eares regard the words of his mouth, and teach your daughters to mourne, and euery one her neighbour to lament.
Nefa mihainoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah, ianareo vehivavy, ary aoka hohenoin’ ny sofinareo ny tenin’ ny vavany, ka ampianaro fidradradradrana ny zanakavavinareo, ary samia mampianatra hira fahalahelovana ny namany avy.
21 For death is come vp into our windowes, and is entred into our palaces, to destroy the children without, and the yong men in the streetes.
Fa ny fahafatesana efa nananika ny varavarankelintsika ka niditra tao an-dapantsika, mba handringana ny ankizy madinika tsy ho eny an-dalambe sy ny zatovo tsy ho eny an-kalalahana.
22 Speake, thus sayth the Lord, The carkeises of men shall lye, euen as the doung vpon the fielde, and as the handfull after the mower, and none shall gather them.
Ataovy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Hiampatrampatra ny fatin’ ny olona ka ho tonga tahaka ny zezika eny an-tsaha sy tahaka ny amboara nilaozan’ ny mpijinja, Izay tsy misy manangona azy.
23 Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisedome, nor the strong man glorie in his strength, neyther the riche man glorie in his riches.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Aoka ny hendry tsy hirehareha amin’ ny fahendreny, ary aoka ny mahery tsy hirehareha amin’ ny heriny, ary aoka ny manan-karena tsy hirehareha amin’ ny hareny;
24 But let him that glorieth, glorie in this, that he vnderstandeth, and knoweth me: for I am the Lord, which shewe mercie, iudgement, and righteousnes in the earth: for in these things I delite, sayth the Lord.
Fa izay te-hirehareha dia aoka hirehareha amin’ izao: Dia ny fahendreny sy ny fahalalany Ahy ho Jehovah, Izay manao famindram-po sy fitsarana marina ary fahamarinana etỳ ambonin’ ny tany; fa izany no sitrako, hoy Jehovah.
25 Beholde, the dayes come, sayth the Lord, that I wil visite all them, which are circumcised with the vncircumcised:
Indro, avy ny andro, hoy Jehovah, izay hamaliako ny voafora rehetra mbamin’ ny tsy voafora koa,
26 Egypt and Iudah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all the vtmost corners of them that dwell in the wildernesse: for all these nations are vncircumcised, and al the house of Israel are vncircumcised in the heart.
Dia Egypta sy Joda sy Edoma sy ny taranak’ i Amona ary Moaba mbamin’ izay rehetra voahety sisim-bolo, izay monina any an-efitra; Fa ny jentilisa rehetra dia tsy voafora, ary ny taranak’ Isiraely rehetra kosa dia tsy voafora fo.
