Jeremiah 18
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from Yhwh, saying,
Ty tsara niheo am’ Iirmeà boak’ am’ Iehovà, manao ty hoe:
2 Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.
Miongaha, mizotsoa mb’an-kiboho’ i mpanao valàñe-taney mb’eo, le hampijanjiñeko azo eo o entakoo.
3 Then I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.
Aa le nizotso mb’añ’anjomba’ i mpanao valàñe taney mb’eo, le nizoeko eo re nifanehak’ amo larò’eo.
4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again 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 word of Yhwh came to me, saying,
Le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe:
6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith Yhwh. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are ye in mine hand, 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 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;
Ie volañako ami’ty fifeheañe, naho ami’ty fifelehañe, t’ie haombotse, naho harotsake, vaho hahomake,
8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.
fe iambohoa’ i fifeheañe nafàkoy o hatsivokara’eo, le hivalik’amy raty ho nafetsako ama’ey.
9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;
Le ie volañeko i fifeheañe naho ty fifelehañe, t’ie harafetse naho haoreñe;
10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.
f’ie manao raty amasoko eo, tsy mañaoñe ty feoko; le haneñenako i soa nitaroñeko hitahiako azey.
11 Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith Yhwh; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings 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 And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.
Fa hoe iereo: Famoeam-piay izay; fa hañavelo amo fisafiria’aio zahay, sindre hañorike ty fanjeharan’arofo’e.
13 Therefore thus saith Yhwh; Ask ye now among the heathen, who hath heard such things: the virgin of Israel hath done a very horrible thing.
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 leave the snow of Lebanon which cometh from the rock of the field? or shall the cold 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, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up;
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 hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag 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 as with an east wind before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.
Haboeleko manahake t’ie an-tioke atiñanañe añatrefa’ o rafelahi’ iareoo; hiambohoako, fa tsy hampiatrefako laharañe, amy androm-peh’ohatsey.
18 Then said they, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed 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 Give heed to me, O Yhwh, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me.
Haoño iraho ry Iehovà, vaho janjiño ty feo’ o mpikilily ahikoo.
20 Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to turn 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 deliver up their children to the famine, and pour out their blood by the force of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and be widows; and let their men be put to death; let their young men be slain by the sword in battle.
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 a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them: for they have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.
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, Yhwh, thou knowest all their counsel against me to slay me: forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee; deal 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.
