Jeremiah 12
1 You [are] righteous, O YHWH, When I plead toward You, Only, let me speak judgments with You, Why did the way of the wicked prosper? All treacherous dealers have been at rest.
Raha mifandahatra aminao aho, Jehovah ô dia Hianao no marina; Nefa kosa aoka ihany mba handahatra aminao aho: Nahoana ary no ambinina ny lalan’ ny ratsy fanahy? Nahoana no miadana ny mpiodina rehetra?
2 You have planted them, Indeed, they have taken root, They go on, indeed, they have made fruit, You [are] near in their mouth, And far off from their reins.
Nambolenao izy, ka dia miorim-paka; Mitombo izy, ka dia mamoa; Manakaiky Anao amin’ ny vavany izy, nefa manalavitra Anao amin’ ny fony.
3 And You, O YHWH, You have known me, You see me, and have tried my heart with You, Draw them away as sheep to slaughter, And separate them for a day of slaughter.
Fa Hianao, Jehovah ô, mahalala ahy; Mahita ahy Hianao sady mizaha toetra ny foko ny aminao; Sariho toy ny ondry hovonoina ireny, ary atokàny ho amin’ ny andro hamonoana.
4 Until when does the earth mourn, And the herb of the whole field wither? For the wickedness of those dwelling in it, Beast and bird have been consumed, Because they said, “He does not see our latter end.”
Mandra-pahoviana no hisaonan’ ny tany sy hahalazoan’ ny ahitra any amin’ ny saha rehetra? Noho ny faharatsian’ ny mponina any dia lany ringana ny biby sy ny vorona; Fa hoy ireo: Tsy mba hahita izay hiafarantsika izy.
5 “For you have run with footmen, And they weary you, And how you fret yourself with horses! Even in the land of peace, [In which] you are confident—And how will you do in the rising of Jordan?
Raha niara-nihazakazaka tamin’ ny mandeha an-tongotra ianao ka voany, dia hataonao ahoana no fihaika ny soavaly? Ary raha eny amin’ ny tany miadana no anananao toky, hanao ahoana kosa ianao, raha mby any amin’ ny kirihitrala eny amoron’ i Jordana?
6 For even your brothers and the house of your father, Even they dealt treacherously against you, Even they called after you fully, Do not trust in them when they speak good things to you.
Fa na dia ny rahalahinao sy ny mpianakavin’ ny rainao aza dia samy namitaka anao; Eny, niantso mafy teo aorianao ireo; Aza mino azy, na dia tsara fiteny aminao aza izy.
7 I have forsaken My house, I have left My inheritance, I have given the beloved of My soul Into the hand of her enemies.
Nilaozako ny tranoko, nafoiko ny lovako; Ny sombin’ aiko dia natolotro ho eo an-tànan’ ny fahavalony.
8 My inheritance has been to Me as a lion in a forest, She gave forth against Me with her voice, Therefore I have hated her.
Raha amiko, ny lovako dia efa toy ny liona any an’ ala; Mierona amiko izy, ka dia halako.
9 [Is] My inheritance a speckled bird to Me? Is the bird around against her? Come, assemble, every beast of the field, Come for food.
Moa tahaka ny vorona mpihaza hafahafa volo amiko va ny lovako, no mivory manodidina azy ny vorona mpihaza? Avia, ka angòny ny bibi-dia rehetra, ampanatony ireny hihinana.
10 Many shepherds destroyed My vineyard, They have trodden down My portion, They have made My desirable portion Become a wilderness—a desolation.
Mpitondra maro no nanimba ny tanim-boaloboko, nohitsakitsahiny ny anjarako; Nataony tany efitra lao ny anjarako mahafinaritra;
11 He has made it become a desolation, The desolation has mourned to Me, All the land has been desolated, But there is no one laying it to heart.
Nataony lao izany, eny, lao izy ka mitomany amiko; Nataony lao avokoa ny tany rehetra, satria tsy nisy nandatsaka am-po.
12 Spoilers have come in on all high places in the plain, For the sword of YHWH is consuming, From the end of the land even to the end of the land, There is no peace to any flesh.
Ny mpandrava dia tonga any amin’ ny tendrombohitra mangadihady rehetra any an-efitra; Fa misy sabatr’ i Jehovah mandringana amin’ ny faran’ ny tany ka hatramin’ ny farany koa, ka dia tsy misy fiadanana ho an’ ny nofo rehetra.
13 They sowed wheat, and have reaped thorns, They have become sick—they do not profit, And they have been ashamed of your increases, Because of the fierceness of the anger of YHWH.”
Vary no nafafiny, fa tsilo no nojinjany; Nanasatra ny tenany izy, kanjo herim-po very foana izany; Dia hangaihay ny amin’ ny zavatra azonareo ianareo noho ny firehetan’ ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah.
14 Thus said YHWH: “Concerning all My evil neighbors, who are striking against the inheritance that I caused My people—Israel—to inherit: Behold, I am plucking them from off their ground, And I pluck the house of Judah out of their midst.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah ny amin’ ireo ratsy fanahy rehetra mifanakaiky fonenena amiko ireo, dia izay mikasikasika ny tany nomeko ho lovan’ ny Isiraely oloko: Indro, hongotako tsy ho amin’ ny taniny ireo, ary ny taranak’ i Joda koa dia hongotako tsy ho eo aminy.
15 And it has been, after My plucking them out, I turn back, and have pitied them, And I have brought them back, Each to his inheritance, and each to his land.
Nefa nony efa voaongotra izy, dia hamindra fo aminy indray Aho, ka samy ho entiko mody any amin’ ny lovany sy ny taniny avy indray izy.
16 And it has come to pass, If they learn the ways of My people well, To swear by My Name, YHWH lives, As they taught My people to swear by Ba‘al, Then they have been built up in the midst of My people.
Koa raha mba hianatra ny fanaon’ ny oloko tokoa ireo ka hianiana amin’ ny anarako hoe: Raha velona koa Jehovah, tahaka ny nampianaran’ ireo ny oloko hianiana amin’ i Bala, dia haorina ao amin’ ny oloko izy;
17 And if they do not listen, Then I have plucked up that nation, Plucking up and destroying,” A declaration of YHWH!
Fa raha tsy hankatò kosa izy, dia hongotako izany firenena izany, eny, hongotako sy haringako izy, hoy Jehovah.
