Jeremias 9
1 Who will give water to my head, and a fountain of tears to my eyes? then would I weep for this my people day and night, [even] for the slain 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 Who would give me a most distant lodge in the wilderness, that I might leave my people, and depart from them? for they all commit adultery, an assembly of treacherous men.
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 have bent their tongue like a bow: falsehood and not faithfulness has prevailed upon the earth; for they have gone on from evil to evil, and have not known me, says 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 Beware you each of his neighbor, and trust you not in your brethren: for every one will surely supplant, and every friend will walk craftily.
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 Every one will mock his friend; they will not speak truth: their tongue has learned to speak falsehoods; they have committed iniquity, they ceased not, so as to return.
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 [There is] usury upon usury, and deceit upon deceit: they would not know me, says the Lord.
Ny fonenanao dia ao anatin’ ny fitaka; Fitaka no nandavany tsy hahalalana Ahy, hoy Jehovah.
7 Therefore thus says the Lord, Behold, I will try them with fire, and prove them; for I will do [thus] because of the wickedness of 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 a wounding arrow; the words of their mouth are deceitful: [one] speaks peaceably to his neighbor, but in himself retains enmity.
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 Shall I not visit for these things? says the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a people as this?
Tsy hovaliako va izy amin’ izany zavatra izany? hoy Jehovah, tsy hialako fo va ny firenena toy izany?
10 Take up a lamentation for the mountains, and a mournful dirge for the paths of the wilderness, for they are desolate for lack of men; they heard not the sound of life from the birds of the sky, nor the cattle: they were amazed, they are 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 will remove the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and make it a dwelling-place of dragons; and I will utterly waste the cities of Juda, so that they shall not be inhabited.
Ary Jerosalema dia hataoko korontam-bato sy fonenan’ ny amboadia; ary ny tanànan’ ny Joda hataoko lao tsy hisy mponina.
12 Who is the wise man, that he may understand this? and he that has the word of the mouth of the Lord [addressed] to him, let him tell you therefore the land has been destroyed, has been ravaged by fire like a desert, so that no one passes through it.
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 said to me, Because they have forsaken my law, which I set before them, and have not listened to my voice;
Ary hoy Jehovah: satria nahafoy ny lalàko izay nataoko teo anoloany izy ka tsy nankato izany ary tsy nihaino ny feoko,
14 but went after the lusts of their evil heart, and after the idols which their fathers taught them [to worship]:
Fa nandeha araka ny ditry ny fony sy nanaraka ireo Bala araka izay nampianarin’ ny razany azy,
15 therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I will feed them with trouble and will cause them to drink water of gall:
Dia izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Indro, hofahanako zava-mahafaty ity firenena ity sy hampisotroiko rano mangidy;
16 and I will scatter them among the nations, to them whom neither they nor their fathers knew; and I will send a sword upon them, until I have consumed them with it.
Ary haeliko any amin’ izay jentilisa tsy fantany na fantatry ny razany izy; Ary hampanenjehiko azy ny sabatra ambara-pandaniko azy.
17 Thus says the Lord, Call you the mourning women, and let them come; and send to the wise women, and let them utter their voice;
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 take up a lamentation for you, and let your eyes pour down tears, and your eyelids drop water.
Ary asaovy haingana ireny hanandratra fidradradradrana ho antsika, mba hampijojy ny ranomasontsika sy hampivarina ny ranomaso avy amin’ ny hodimasontsika.
19 For a voice of lamentation has been heard in Sion, How are we become wretched! we are greatly ashamed, for we have forsaken the land, and have abandoned our tabernacles!
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 Hear now, you women, the word of God, and let your ears receive the words of his mouth, and teach your daughters lamentation, and [every] woman her neighbor a dirge.
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 has come up through your windows, it has entered into our land, to destroy the infants without, and the young men from the streets.
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 And the carcases of the men shall be for an example on the face of the field of your land, like grass after the mower, and there shall be none to 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 says the Lord, Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, and let not the strong man boast in his strength, and let not the rich man boast in his wealth;
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 boasts boast in this, the understanding and knowing that I am the Lord that exercise mercy, and judgment, and righteousness, upon the earth; for in these things is my pleasure, says 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 Behold, the days come, says the Lord, when I will visit upon all the circumcised their uncircumcision;
Indro, avy ny andro, hoy Jehovah, izay hamaliako ny voafora rehetra mbamin’ ny tsy voafora koa,
26 on Egypt, and on Idumea, and on Edom, and on the children of Ammon, and on the children of Moab, and on every one that shaves his face round about, [even] them that dwell in the wilderness; for all the Gentiles are uncircumcised in flesh, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised [in] their hearts.
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.
