Jeremiah 4
1 If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove.
Ie mimpoly irehe, ry Israele, hoe t’Iehovà, le mimpolia amako, naho asitaho añ’atrefako eo o raha tìva’oo, vaho ko mitroetroe,
2 And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.
naho ifanta’o ty hoe: Amy te veloñe t’Iehovà! ami’ty fahiti’e naho ty hatò’e naho ty havañonañe, le ie ty hifampitata’ o fifeheañeo vaho hifampirengea’ iareo.
3 For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.
Fa hoe t’Iehovà am’ondati’ Iehodào naho am’ Ierosalaime: Trabatrabàho o moka’ areoo, vaho ko mitongy amo fatikeo.
4 Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench [it], because of the evil of your doings.
Misavara ho am’ Iehovà, afaho ty ofoke añ’arofo’ areo ao, ry ondati’ Iehodào naho mpimoneñe e Ierosalaimeo, tsy mone hionjom-beo hoe afo ty habosehako, hisolebatse tsy mete vonoeñe, ami’ty hatsivokara’ o sata’areoo.
5 Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities.
Kaikaiho e Iehodà ao, naho tseizo e Ierosalaime ao, ty hoe: Popòho amy taney ao ty antsiva; mifanontona, antao himoake amo rova fatratseo!
6 Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.
Atroaro mb’e Tsione ty viloñe, mipalira, ko mihenekeneke, fa minday hekoheko boak’ avaratse añe iraho, naho fandrotsahañe jabajaba.
7 The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; [and] thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.
Fa niakatse an-drongoñe ao ty liona, fa nionjoñe i mpandrotsake fifeheañey, fa niavotse an-toe’e ao hampangoakoake ty tane’o, ho harakarake avao o rova’oo, tsy ho amam-pimoneñe.
8 For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us.
Ie amy zay, misikina gony, miroveta, vaho mangololoiha: Fa mboe tsy nivike aman-tika ty haviñera’Iehovà.
9 And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the LORD, [that] the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.
Amy andro zay, hoe t’Iehovà, te hilesa ty fahavania’ i mpanjakay naho o roandriañeo; ho latsa o mpisoroñeo vaho ho veren-draha o mpitokio.
10 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul.
Aa le hoe iraho, Ry Talè, Iehovà, akore te nifañahie’o ondaty retoa naho Ierosalaime, amy ty hoe: Hanintsiñe nahareo, ie fa totofem-pibara ty fiaiñe!
11 At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse,
Ie amy zay ho taroñeñe am’ondaty retoa naho am’ Ierosalaime ty hoe: Ho hirik’ ankaboa’ i liolio am-patrambeiy ty tioke mihoboboke mb’amo anak’ ampela’ ondatikoo, tsy t’ie hanonga ndra hañororoke—
12 [Even] a full wind from those [places] shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence against them.
tioke lombolombo izay ty homb’eo boak’ amako; fa hivolañako zaka henaneo.
13 Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots [shall be] as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled.
Heheke! Mionjoñe hoe rahon-dre, o sarete’eo hoe tangololahy; masika ta ty vantio o soavala’eo— feh’ohatse tika! fa mianto!
14 O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?
Ry Ierosalaime, sasao añ’arofo’o ao o haloloañeo soa te ho rombaheñe, pak’ombia te mbe himoneñe ama’o ao o fikililia’o ratio?
15 For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim.
Inao, mikoike boak’e Dane añe ty fiarañanañañe; vaho mitsey hankàñe ty boak’ am-bohi’ Efraime añe.
16 Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, [that] watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.
Talilio o fifeheañeo, henaneo! ikoiho am’Ierosalaime; hirike tsietoitane añe o mpañarikatokeo hipoña-peo amo rova’ Iehodào.
17 As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD.
Fa niarikoboña’ iareo manahake o mpivoñon-tondao, amy t’ie niola amako, hoe t’Iehovà.
18 Thy way and thy doings have procured these [things] unto thee; this [is] thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart.
O sata’oo naho o fitoloña’oo ty naneseañe o raha zao; hankàñe ama’o; akore ty hafai’e! kanao mahatakatse ty arofo’o.
19 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
Ty añ’ovako, ty añ’ovako! ty haloviloviako! Hete! Ty troko! Ty troko! Midebodebo amako ao; izaho tsy mahafitsiñe; amy te ihe, fiaiko, ty nahatsanoñe i fipopòn’ antsivay, i kaik’ aliy.
20 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, [and] my curtains in a moment.
Vinonje’ ty hekoheko ty hankàñe, fonga nimongoreñe i taney; rotsake ami’ty manao zao o kibohokoo, ami’ty tsi-maemae-laletse o rindrin-kivohokoo.
21 How long shall I see the standard, [and] hear the sound of the trumpet?
Ampara’ te ombia ty mbe hahatreavako i viloñey, ty hahatsanoñako ty feo i antsivay?
22 For my people [is] foolish, they have not known me; they [are] sottish children, and they have none understanding: they [are] wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
Toe dereñe ondatikoo, tsy mahafohiñe ahy; ajaja minè, tsy mahilala. Kante an-katsivokarañe, ie tsy mahay manao soa.
23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, [it was] without form, and void; and the heavens, and they [had] no light.
Nenteako ty tane toy t'ie nihoake tsy amam-bintañe, vaho mb’ andikeramb’eo fe nipo-kazavàñe ty ey.
24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
Nenteako o vohitseo le nizoeko te niezeñezeñe, vaho fonga nivembèñe o haboañeo.
25 I beheld, and, lo, [there was] no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
Nenteako le hehe t’ie tsy ama’ ondaty, leo raike, vaho hene niborofotse o voron-tiokeo.
26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place [was] a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, [and] by his fierce anger.
Nenteako, le ingo te paimpaiñe i tane ni-kobokaray, fonga narotsake añatrefa’ Iehovà o rovao, aolo’ ty haviñera’e miforoforo.
27 For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
Fa hoe t’Iehovà: Ho koake iaby i taney fe tsy ho fonga mongoreko.
28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken [it], I have purposed [it], and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.
Handala’ ty tane toy, naho haieñe o likerañe eñeo; ty amo volakoo; naereñereko, le tsy hiheve, vaho tsy hibalihako.
29 The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city [shall be] forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.
Songa mivoratsake ty lay o rovao ami’ty fikoraha’ o mpiningi- tsoavalao naho o mpitàm-paleo, iziliha’ iareo ty matahetse; anganiha’ iareo o vatovatoeñeo; nengañe hoake iaby o rovao, leo ondaty raike tsy mimoneñe ao.
30 And [when] thou [art] spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; [thy] lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.
Le ihe tinavañey, Ino ty atao’o kanao misiki-mena mañabasà, naho miravake bange volamena, vaho ampiboenare’o loko o maso’oo? Tsy vente ty ihamina’o vatañe, songa malaiñe azo o sipa’oo, toe hañè-doza ama’o.
31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, [and] the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, [that] bewaileth herself, [that] spreadeth her hands, [saying], Woe [is] me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.
Fa nahatsanoñe hoe fikoiahan’ ampela mitsongo iraho, ty fanaintaiña’ i misamake i tañoloñolo’eiy, ty fikoiaha’ ty ana’ i Tsione misehaseha, mañiti-tañampolo manao ty hoe: Hankàñe amako! Mitoirañe añatrefa’ o mpamonoo ty fiaiko!
