Jeremiah 3
1 One could say, Behold, if a man send away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, can he return unto her again? would not that land be greatly polluted? and thou hast played the harlot with many companions, and wilt 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 thy eyes unto the mountain-tops, and see where thou hast not been lain with. On public roads hast thou sat for them, as the Arab in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy incests 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 And [though] the early showers were withholden, and the latter rain came not: yet hadst thou a forehead of an incestuous wife, thou refusedst to feel shame.
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 Wilt thou not from this time call out unto mem My father, the guide of my youth art thou?
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 eternity? Behold, thou hast spoken [this], and yet hast done the things that are evil as much as thou wast able.
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 what backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and hath played the harlot there.
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 thought that after she had done all these things, she would return unto me. But she returned not. And this saw her treacherous sister Judah.
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, that, although because backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had sent her away, and given her bill of divorce unto her, still treacherous Judah her sister feared not, but went and played herself the harlot also.
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 her giddy incest, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stone and with wood.
Ary tamin’ ny fihorakorahan’ ny fijangajangany no nandotoany ny tany, ary nijangajanga tamin’ ny vato sy ny hazo izy.
10 And yet with all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not returned unto me with all her heart, but with falsehood, 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 And the Lord said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself through the 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 cause my anger to fall upon you; for I am full of kindness, saith the Lord, I will not hear 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 thy iniquity, that against the Lord thy God thou hast rebelled, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and that unto my voice ye have not hearkened, 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 become your husband; and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and 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 after my own heart, and they shall feed you with knowledge and intelligence.
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 multiply and increase in the land, in those days, saith the Lord, that men shall not say any more, “The ark of the covenant of the Lord;” nor shall it come any more to mind; nor shall they remember it; nor shall they mention it; nor shall any thing be done any more [with it].
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 shall they call Jerusalem, The throne of the Lord; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem: and they shall not 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 shall the house of Judah walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north unto 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 had thought, How shall I establish thee among the [other] sons [of man], and give thee a desirable land, a heritage of glory of the hosts of nations? and I thought, My father thou wouldst call me, and that from me thou wouldst not turn away.
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 But truly 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 A voice is now heard upon the mountain-tops, the supplicatory weeping of the children of Israel; for 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. “Behold, we 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 deceptive was [what we hoped for] from the hills, and the multitude 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 And shame hath devoured the acquisition 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 We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us; for against the Lord our God have we sinned, we and our fathers, from our youth even until 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.
