Jeremiah 14
1 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the droughts.
Ty tsara’ Iehovà am’ Iirmeà ty amy hasalikoañey.
2 Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish, they bow down in black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
Mandala t’Iehodà, midegañe o lalam-bei’eo, ie mibotrek’ an-kontoke ty amy taney; vaho mionjoñe ty firoveta’ Ierosalaime.
3 And their nobles send their lads for water: they come to the pits, and find no water; their vessels return empty; they are ashamed and confounded, and cover their heads.
Nirahe’ o roandriañeo o keleia’eo hitoha rano: ie pok’an-kadaha eo, tsy manjo rano; mimpoly am-binta kapaike, salatse naho daba, misaron-doha,
4 Because of the ground which is cracked, for there hath been no rain in the land, the plowmen are ashamed, they cover their heads.
O taneo mivarakivaraky, tsy niavy an-tane ty orañe, miolitsolitse ty mpiava, misaron-doha.
5 Yea, the hind also in the field calveth, and forsaketh her young, because there is no grass,
Miterak’ an-kivoke ey ka ty fanaloke, fe aforintse’e, ie tsy aman’ ahetse.
6 And the wild asses stand on the high hills, they gasp for air like jackals; their eyes fail, because there is no herbage.
Miereñereñe an-kaboan-diolio eñe ty borìke ly, misefosefo hoe fosa; milesa o maso’eo, amy te tsy eo rongoñe.
7 Though our iniquities testify against us, O LORD, work Thou for Thy name's sake; for our backslidings are many, we have sinned against Thee.
Aa ndra te asisì’ o tahi’aio zahay, ry Iehovà, mitoloña ty amy tahina’oy; toe maro o fidisa-voli’aio, naho anaña’o hakeo.
8 O Thou hope of Israel, the Saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest Thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night?
Ry fitamà’ Israele, t’i Mpandrombak’ aze an-tsan-kaoreañe, manao akore te ihe ro manao ambahiny an-taneo, manahake ty mpitaveañe mañialo ao te haleñe?
9 Why shouldest thou be as a man overcome, as a mighty man that cannot save? Yet Thou, O LORD, art in the midst of us, and Thy name is called upon us; leave us not.
Mañino irehe ro hoe ondaty daba, hoe fanalolahy tsy maharombake? F’ie añivo’ay irehe, ry Iehovà, vaho kanjieñe ami’ty tahina’o, ko aforintse’o.
10 Thus saith the LORD unto this people: Even so have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet; therefore the LORD doth not accept them, now will He remember their iniquity, and punish their sins.
Hoe t’Iehovà am’ondaty retoañe: Toe nitea’ iereo ty mirererere, tsy kinala’ iareo o fandia’eo; aa le tsy no’ Iehovà, ho tiahi’e henane zao o hakeo’eo, vaho ho lilove’e o tahi’ iareoo.
11 And the LORD said unto me: 'Pray not for this people for their good.
Le hoe t’Iehovà amako: Ko ihalalia’o ty hasoa’ ondaty retoa,
12 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt-offering and meal-offering, I will not accept them; but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.'
Ie mililitse, tsy ho tsanoñeko o fitoreo’eo; ie mañenga soroñe naho enga mahakama, tsy ho noko; te mone ho mongoreko am-pibara, naho an-kerè vaho an-kiria.
13 Then said I: 'Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say unto them: Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.'
Le hoe iraho: Ee Talè, Iehovà! Inao ty filañona’ o mpitokio: Tsy hizò fibara nahareo, tsy ho tendreke hasalikoañe; fa ho tolorako fierañerañañe tsy modo ami’ty toetse toy.
14 Then the LORD said unto me: 'The prophets prophesy lies in My name; I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spoke I unto them; they prophesy unto you a lying vision, and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their own heart.
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà amako: Mandañitse ami’ty añarako o mpitokio; tsy nahitriko tsy nililiako, tsy nivolañako; itokia’ iareo aroñarom-bande, naho sahàtse, naho raha kafoake, vaho ty famañahian-tro’ iareo avao.
15 Therefore thus saith the LORD: As for the prophets that prophesy in My name, and I sent them not, yet they say: Sword and famine shall not be in this land, by sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed;
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà: O mpitoky mitoky ami’ty añarakoo: Tsy niraheko, fe hoe ty asa’iareo: Tsy ho an-tane atoy ty vi-lava naho ty kerè. Aa le ty fibara naho ty hasalikoañe ty higadoña’ i mpitoky rey.
16 and the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters; for I will pour their evil upon them.'
Le hahifik’ an-dala’ Ierosalaime ey ondaty itokia’ iareoo, ami’ty mosare naho amy fibaray; le tsy hanam-pandeveñe, ie naho o vali’eo, naho o ana-dahi’eo, vaho o anak’ ampela’eo; fa hadoako am’iereo ty haloloa’ iareo.
17 And thou shalt say this word unto them: Let mine eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease; for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous blow.
Le isaontsio o tsara zao: Ehe te hitsiririàhan-drano maso handro an-kaleñe o masokoo; vaho ko ajihetse; amy te dinemo’ ty fanjevoañe ra’elahy i somondrara anak’ ampela’ ondatikoy, ami’ty fere mahatindry.
18 If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the sword! And if I enter into the city, then behold them that are sick with famine! For both the prophet and the priest are gone about to a land, and knew it not.
Izaho mb’an-kivok’ añe: hehe ty zinamam-pibara, ie mimoak’ an-drova ao, ingo ty nanilofen-kerè! mikariokariok’ amy taney o mpitokio naho o mpisoroñeo fa tsy mahafohiñe.
19 Hast Thou utterly rejected Judah? Hath Thy soul loathed Zion? Why hast Thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and behold terror!
Vata’e nifarie’o hao t’Iehodà? Heje’ ty arofo’o vintañe hao ty Tsione? Ino ty nandafa’o anay ho po-pijanganañe? Ie nandiñe fanintsiñañe fe po hasoa, naho fitsaitsaihañe, te mone hankàñe.
20 We acknowledge, O LORD, our wickedness, even the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against Thee.
Iantofa’ay ry Iehovà, o halò-tsere’aio, naho o tahin-droae’aio; toe anaña’o hakeo.
21 Do not contemn us, for Thy name's sake, do not dishonour the throne of Thy glory; remember, break not Thy covenant with us.
Ko malaiñ’anay irehe, ty amy tahina’oy! ko mavoe’o ty fiambesan’enge’o; mahatiahia, ko ivaliha’o i fañina’o ama’aiy!
22 Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? Art not Thou He, O LORD our God, and do we not wait for Thee? For Thou hast made all these things.
Ahavian’orañe hao o raha tsy jefa’ o kilakila’ndatioo? O likerañeo hao ty mampikojojoake orañe? Tsy Ihe hao, ry Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay? Tsy Ihe hao ty fitamà’ay? Toe Ihe ro Mpanao ze he’e zao!
