Jeremiah 3
1 ...saying: If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, may he return unto her again? Will not that land be greatly polluted? But thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; and wouldest thou yet return to Me? saith the LORD.
Fa hoy Izy: Raha misy lehilahy misao-bady, ary efa miala ravehivavy ka vadin’ olon-kafa, moa mahazo miverina aminy indray va ralehilahy? Tsy haloto tokoa va izany tany izany? Fa ianao dia efa nijangajanga tamin-tsakaiza maro, ka moa hahazo miverina amiko va ianao? hoy Jehovah.
2 Lift up thine eyes unto the high hills, and see: Where hast thou not been lain with? By the ways hast thou sat for them, as an Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy harlotries and with thy wickedness.
Andrandrao amin’ ny tendrombohitra mangadihady ny masonao, ka jereo. Taiza no tsy nandrian’ olona taminao? Teny an-dalambe no niandrasanao azy toy ny Arabo any an-efitra; Ary ny fijangajanganao sy ny faharatsianao no nandotoanao ny tany,
3 Therefore the showers have been withheld, and there hath been no latter rain; yet thou hadst a harlot's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.
Ka dia voasakana ny orana mivatravatra, sady tsy tonga ny fara-orana; Ary ny handrinao dia handrin’ ny vehivavy janga ka tsy manan-kenatra.
4 Didst thou not just now cry unto Me: 'My father, Thou art the friend of my youth.
Moa tsy hitaraina amiko va ianao amin’ izao sisa izao hoe: Ry Raiko ô, Hianao no nahazatra ahy, hatry ny fony aho mbola tanora?
5 Will He bear grudge for ever? Will He keep it to the end?' Behold, thou hast spoken, but hast done evil things, and hast had thy way.
Ho tezitra mandrakizay va Izy? Hitahiry fahatezerana hatamin’ ny farany va Izy? Indro, efa niteny toy izany ianao, nefa nanao izany ratsy izany ihany ka nahatanteraka izany.
6 And the LORD said unto me in the days of Josiah the king: 'Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel did? she went up upon every high mountain and under every leafy tree, and there played the harlot.
Ary hoy Jehovah tamiko tamin’ ny andro nanjakan’ i Josia mpanjaka: Moa efa hitanao va izay nataon’ Isiraely mpiodina? Niakatra ho eny amin’ ny tendrombohitra avo rehetra sy ho eny ambanin’ ny hazo maitso rehetra izy ka nijangajanga teny.
7 And I said: After she hath done all these things, she will return unto me; but she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
Ary nataoko fa rehefa nanao izany rehetra izany izy, dia hiverina amiko. Kanjo tsy niverina izy. Ary Joda mpivadika rahavaviny dia nahita izany.
8 And I saw, when, forasmuch as backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a bill of divorcement, that yet treacherous Judah her sister feared not; but she also went and played the harlot;
Ary hitako fa na dia efa nisaorako aza Isiraely mpiodina ka nomeko taratasy fisaorana noho ny fijangajangana, dia tsy nety natahotra Joda mpivadika rahavaviny na dia izany aza, fa nandeha nijangajanga koa izy.
9 and it came to pass through the lightness of her harlotry, that the land was polluted, and she committed adultery with stones and with stocks;
Ary tamin’ ny fihorakorahan’ ny fijangajangany no nandotoany ny tany, ary nijangajanga tamin’ ny vato sy ny hazo izy.
10 and yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not returned unto Me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD —
Fa na dia izany rehetra izany aza dia tsy nety niverina tamiko tamin’ ny fony rehetra Joda mpivadika rahavaviny, fa tamin’ ny fihatsaram-belatsihy ihany, hoy Jehovah.
11 even the LORD said unto me — backsliding Israel hath proved herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.
Ary hoy Jehovah tamiko: Isiraely mpiodina dia hita fa marimarina kokoa noho Joda mpivadika.
12 Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and say: Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; I will not frown upon you; for I am merciful, saith the LORD, I will not bear grudge for ever.
Mandehana, ka torio manatrika ny avaratra izao teny izao hoe: Miverena ianao, ry Isiraely mpiodina, hoy Jehovah; Tsy hampanjombona ny tavako aminareo Aho; Fa mamindra fo Aho, hoy Jehovah, ka tsy hitahiry fahatezerana mandrakizay.
13 Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every leafy tree, and ye have not hearkened to My voice, saith the LORD.
Kanefa kosa ekeo ny helokao, fa tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao no niodinanao, ary nivezivezy nankany amin’ ny hafa ianao. Teny ambanin’ ny hazo maitso rehetra, fa tsy mba nihaino ny feoko ianareo, hoy Jehovah.
14 Return, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am a lord unto you, and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion;
Miverena, ry zaza mpiodina, hoy Jehovah, fa Izaho ihany no vadinareo; Ary hangalako iray isan-tanàna ianareo Sy roa isam-pokony, ka ho entiko ho any Ziona ianareo;
15 and I will give you shepherds according to My heart, who shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
Dia homeko mpitondra araka ny sitrapoko ianareo. Izay hitondra anareo amin’ ny fahalalana sy ny fahendrena.
16 And it shall come to pass, when ye are multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more: The ark of the covenant of the LORD; neither shall it come to mind; neither shall they make mention of it; neither shall they miss it; neither shall it be made any more.
Koa rehefa mitombo sy mihamaro amin’ ny tany ianareo, dia amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah, no tsy hanaovany intsony hoe: Ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah; Ary tsy hosaintsaininy akory izany, sady tsy hahatsiaro na ho manina izany izy, na hanao fiara intsony.
17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem The throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem; neither shall they walk any more after the stubbornness of their evil heart.
Amin’ izany andro izany no hanononana an’ i Jerosalema hoe Seza fiandrianan’ i Jehovah; Ary hivory any ny jentilisa rehetra noho ny anaran’ i Jehovah any Jerosalema, ary izy tsy handeha intsony araka ny ditry ny fo ratsiny.
18 In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.'
Amin’ izany andro izany ny taranak’ i Joda sy ny taranak’ Isiraely dia hiara-mandeha, ka hiara-tonga avy any amin’ ny tany avaratra izy ho any amin’ ny tany nomeko ny razanareo ho lovany.
19 But I said: 'How would I put thee among the sons, and give thee a pleasant land, the goodliest heritage of the nations!' And I said: 'Thou shalt call Me, My father; and shalt not turn away from following Me.'
Ary Izaho efa nanao hoe: He! fa hataoko isan-janako ianao ka homeko tany mahafinaritra, dia lova izay tena endriky ny firenena. Eny, hoy Izaho: Hianao hanao Ahy hoe Raiko, ka tsy hiala amin’ ny fanarahana Ahy.
20 Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with Me, O house of Israel, saith the LORD.
Kanefa toy ny vehivavy misintaka miala amin’ ny lahy, dia toy izany tokoa no nisintahanareo niala tamiko, ry taranak’ Isiraely, hoy Jehovah.
21 Hark! upon the high hills is heard the suppliant weeping of the children of Israel; for that they have perverted their way, they have forgotten the LORD their God.
Injay! feo re any an-tendrombohitra mangadihady, dia fitomaniana amam-pitarainan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely; Fa nivilivily tamin’ ny nalehany izy ary nanadino an’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny.
22 Return, ye backsliding children, I will heal your backslidings. — 'Here we are, we are come unto Thee; for Thou art the LORD our God.
Miverena ianao, ry zaza mpiodina, fa hositraniko ny fiodinanareo. Indreto, manatona Anao izahay, fa Hianao Jehovah no Andriamanitray.
23 Truly vain have proved the hills, the uproar on the mountains; truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel.
Foana tokoa ny horakoraka any amin’ ny tendrombohitra sy ny havoana; Marina fa ao amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray ny famonjena ny Isiraely.
24 But the shameful thing hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
Fa lanin’ ilay mampahamenatra hatramin’ ny fahazazanay ny zavatra efa nisasaran’ ny razanay, dia ny ondry aman’ osiny sy ny ombiny, ny zananilahy sy ny zananivavy.
25 Let us lie down in our shame, and let our confusion cover us; for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day; and we have not hearkened to the voice of the LORD our God.'
Aoka handry ao amin’ ny henatray izahay. Ary aoka hanarona anay ny fahafaham-boninahitray, satria tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray no efa nanotanay dia izahay sy ny razanay, hatramin’ ny fahazazanay ka ambaraka androany sady tsy nihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray izahay.
