< Jeremiah 7 >

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
Ty tsara nahitri’ Iehovà am’ Iirmeà, manao ty hoe:
2 Place thyself in the gate of the house of the Lord, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the Lord, all ye of Judah, that enter in by these gates to bow down before the Lord.
Mijohaña an-dalambein’ Anjomba’ Iehovà eo, le koiho ty entañe toy, ami’ty hoe: Mijanjiña ty tsara’ Iehovà ry Iehodà iabio, o mimoak’ amo lalam-bey retoio hitalaho am’ Iehovào.
3 Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your deeds, and I will permit you to dwell in this place.
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: t’i Andrianañahare’ Israele, ahitio o lia’ areoo naho o fitoloña’ areoo, le hampimoneñeko an-tane atoy.
4 [But] do not rely on the words of falsehood, saying, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, [as] they [say].
Ko iantofa’ areo ty reha-bande manao ty hoe: Ty Anjomba’ Iehovà, ty Anjomba’ Iehovà, ty Anjomba’ Iehovà.
5 For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your deeds; if ye thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor;
Eka, naho toe avanta’ areo o lala’areoo naho o fitoloña’areoo; naho toe manao ty hato añivo’ t’indaty naho i rañe’ey;
6 If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, and walk not after other gods to your own hurt:
Naho tsy forekeke’ areo ty ambahiny, ty bode rae, vaho ty vantotse; le tsy mampiori-dio-màliñe an-tane atoy, vaho tsy mañori-drahare ila’e ho ami’ty fañelohañe anahareo;
7 Then will I permit you to dwell in this place, in the land that I have given to your fathers, from eternity to eternity.
Le hampimoneñeko an-tane atoy, ie tane natoloko an-droae’areo ho nainai’e donia.
8 Behold, ye rely on the words of falsehood, that cannot profit.
Fe hehe t’ie miantoke ty rehan-dremborake tsy manjofake.
9 How? will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Ba'al, and walk after other gods of which ye have no knowledge;
Mampikametse, mañoho-doza, mpañarapilo, manao fanta vilañe, mibanabana amy Baale, vaho mañorike ndrahare ila’e tsy nifohi’ areo!
10 And [then] come and stand before my presence in this house, which is called by my name, and say, “We are delivered;” in order to do all these abominations?
Mbore mb’etoy, mijagarodoñe añatrefako ami’ty anjomba tokaveñe amy añarakoy toy, manao ty hoe: Votsotse zahay, hitoloña’ areo o hativàñe iabio.
11 Is then this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? [But] I also, behold, I have seen it, saith the Lord.
Aa vaho lakato’ malaso am-pahaoniña’ areo hao ty anjomba tokaveñe ami’ty añarako toy? Heheke! izaho, eka izaho ty nahatrea, hoe t’Iehovà.
12 For go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did unto it because of the wickedness of my people Israel.
Akia arè, mb’amy ni-toeko e Silòy, i nampimoneñako i añarakoy valoha’ey, vaho oniño ty nanoako aze ty amy haloloa’ ondatiko Israeleoy.
13 And now, whereas ye have done all these acts, saith the Lord, and I spoke unto you, causing [the prophets] to rise up early and speaking, while ye would not hear; and I called you, but ye would not answer:
Ie henane zao, amy te fonga nanoe’ areo i sata rezay, hoe t’Iehovà, le nitaroñe, toe nañaleñale te nivolañe, fe tsy nañaoñe nahareo, vaho nitokaveko f’ie tsy nanoiñe.
14 Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, whereon ye rely, and unto the place which I have given to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
Aa le hanoeko amy anjomba tokaveñe amy añarakoiy, i fiatoa’ areoy, i toetse natoloko anahareo naho an-droae’ areoy, hambañe amy nanoeko e Siloy.
15 And I will cast you out of my presence, as I have cast out all your brethren, all the seed of Ephraim.
Havokovokoko tsy ho treako nahareo, hambañe ami’ty nandroahako o rolongo’ areo iabio, ze hene tarira’ i Efraime.
16 But thou—pray not thou in behalf of this people, nor lift up in their behalf entreaty or prayer, nor make intercession to me; for I will not hear thee.
Aa naho ihe, ko mihalaly ho a’ ondaty retoañe, ko añonjonan-koike ndra soloho, vaho ko manao ondati-aivo amako fa tsy ho haoñeko.
17 Dost thou not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Tsy oni’o hao ty anoe’ iareo amo rova’ Iehodao naho amo lala’ Ierosalaimeo?
18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven, and they pour out drink-offerings unto other gods, in order to provoke me to anger.
Mangàla-katae o ajajao, mamiañe afo o rae’eo, mañajary bokon-koba o rakembao hamboara’ iareo vonga-mofo i mpanjaka-ampelan-dikerañey; vaho añiliña’ iareo enga rano o ndrahare ila’eo, hampibosek’ ahy.
19 Do they provoke me to anger? saith the Lord, [and] not themselves, to the shame of their own faces?
Izaho hao o sigihe’ iareoo? Hoe t’Iehovà, Tsy iereo avao ho ami’ty hasalara’iareo?
20 Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold my anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, over man, and over beast, and over the trees of the field, and over the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and it shall not be quenched.
Aa le hoe t’i Talè, Iehovà: Inao! Hailiñe ami’ty toetse toy ty habosehako naho ty fifomboko, am’ondatio naho amo hareo, amo hatae ankivokeo naho ami’ty vokatse an-tane atoy; ho forototoeñe, tsy lefe akipeke.
21 Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Add your burnt-offerings unto your peace-sacrifices, and eat the flesh thereof.
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, i Andrianañahare’ Israeley: Tovoño amo fisoroña’ areoo, amo enga-koroa’ areoo ty fikama’ areo i hena’ey.
22 For I spoke not with your fathers, and I commanded them not on the day of my bringing them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt-offering or sacrifice;
Fe tsy nivolañeko o roae’ areoo tsy nililieko amy andro naneseako iareo boak’an-tane Mitsraime añey ze o enga oroañeo naho o fisoroñañeo.
23 But this thing did I command them, saying, Hearken to my voice, and I will be unto you for a God, and ye shall be unto me for a people; and walk ye altogether on the way which I may command you, in order that it may be well unto you.
Fe hoe ty nandiliako iareo, Haoño ty feoko le ho Andrianañahare’ areo iraho, naho ho ondatiko nahareo; vaho añavelò iaby o lalañe nililiakoo, soa te hiraorao.
24 Yet they hearkened not, and inclined not their ear; but they walked in the counsels, in the stubbornness of their evil heart; and they went backward, and not forward:
F’ie tsy nañaoñe iereo, tsy nanongilan-dravembia, te mone nañavelo ami’ty fikililian-tro’ iareo, añ’ereñeren’ arofo-lo, vaho nidisa-voly fa tsy nionjoñe.
25 Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt until this day; and I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, sending them daily in the morning early;
Boak’amy andro niakaran-droae’ areo i Mitsraimey am-para’ ty andro toy, le nañitrike o mpitoroko mpitoky iabio mb’ama’ areo nañaleñaleñe te niraheñe;
26 Yet they hearkened not unto me, and inclined not their ear; but they hardened their neck; they did worse than their fathers.
f’ie tsy nañaoñe ahy, tsy nanokilan-dravembia, toe nampigàn-kàtoke avao; maro ty haratiañe nanoe’iereo te aman-droae’iareo.
27 And if thou speak unto them all these words, and they will not hearken to thee; and if thou call unto them, and they will not answer thee:
Hene saontsio am’iareo o entañe zao, f’ie tsy hijanjiñ’azo; ho koihe’o, f’ie tsy hanoiñe azo.
28 Then shalt thou say unto them, This is the nation that hearken not to the voice of the Lord their God, and accept not correction; lost is the truth, and is obliterated from their mouth.
Hanoa’o ty hoe: Itoy ty fifeheañe tsy nañorike ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareo, tsy nañaom-panoroañe; modo ty hatò, naito am-pivimbi’iareo.
29 Cut off thy flowing hair, and cast it away, and take up on mountain-tops a lamentation; for rejected hath the Lord and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
Hitsifo o maroi’oo, naho ahifiho añe; añonjono an-kaboañe maliolio ey ty fandalañe, fa nifarie’ Iehovà vaho naforintse’e ty tariratse nampiforoforo azey.
30 For the children of Judah have done what is evil in my eyes, saith the Lord: they have set up their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.
Fa nanao raty am-pahatreavako o ana’ Iehodao, hoe t’Iehovà; napo’iareo añ’anjomba kanjieñe amy añarakoy o raha tiva’ iareoo, handeots’ aze.
31 And they have built the high-places of Thophet, which is in the valley of Ben-hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I had not commanded, and which never came into my mind.
Mbore rinanji’ iareo o tamboho’ i Topete am-bavatanen’ana’ i Hinomeo, hañoroañ’ añ’afo ao o ana-dahi’ iareoo naho o anak’ ampela’ iareoo— ie tsy nililieko, tsy naereñèreko.
32 Therefore, behold days are coming, saith the Lord, that it shall not be called any more Thophet, or The valley of Ben-hinnom, but The valley of slaughter: and they shall bury in Thophet, for want of room.
Aa le ho tondroke ty andro, hoe t’Iehovà, t’ie tsy hanoeñe Topete ka, tsy ho vavatanen’ana’ i Hinome, fa ty vavatanem-panjamanañe, amy te handeveñe e Topete ao iereo am-para’ te tsy aman-toetse.
33 And the carcasses of this people shall become food unto the fowls of the heavens, and unto the beasts of the earth, with none to chase them away.
Ho fihina’ o voron-tiokeo naho o bibi’ ty tane toio ty lolo’ ondaty retoa; vaho tsy eo ty handroake iareo.
34 And I will cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of gladness, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride; for a desert shall the land become.
Hajiheko amo rova’ Iehodao naho amo lala’ Ierosalaimeo ty feon-kafaleañe naho ty feom-pirebehañe, ty feom-pañenga naho ty feon’ engavao, fa ho kòake i taney.
