Jeremiah 16
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Ary tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah hoe:
2 “You do not take a wife to yourself, Nor do you have sons and daughters in this place.”
Aza manam-bady ianao, ary aoka tsy hanan-janakalahy na zanakavavy amin’ ity tany ity.
3 For thus said YHWH, Of the sons and of the daughters who are born in this place, And of their mothers—those bearing them, And of their fathers—those begetting them in this land:
Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah ny amin’ ny zanakalahy sy ny zanakavavy izay teraka amin’ ity tany ity sy ny amin’ ny reniny izay niteraka azy ary ny amin’ ny rainy izay niteraka azy amin’ ity tany ity koa:
4 “They die painful deaths, They are not lamented, nor are they buried, For they are dung on the face of the ground, And are consumed by sword and by famine, And their carcass has been for food To the bird of the heavens, And to the beast of the earth.”
Ho fatin’ ny loza samy hafa izy, nefa tsy hisaonana na halevina, fa ho zezika eny ambonin’ ny tany; ary ho lanin-tsabatra sy mosary izy, ka ho fihinan’ ny voro-manidina sy ny bibi-dia ny fatiny.
5 For thus said YHWH: “Do not enter the house of a mourning-feast, Nor go to lament nor bemoan for them, For I have removed My peace from this people,” A declaration of YHWH, “The kindness and the mercies.
Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Aza miditra amin’ ny trano misy fisaonana, ary aza misaona na mitsapa alahelo azy; Fa efa hesoriko tsy ho amin’ ity firenena ity ny fiadanako, hoy Jehovah, dia ny famindram-po sy ny fiantrana.
6 And great and small have died in this land, They are not buried, and none lament for them, Nor does any cut himself, nor become bald for them.
Ho faty na ny lehibe na ny kely amin’ ity tany ity; Samy tsy halevina na hisaonana izy, na hitetehan’ ny sasany tena, na hiboriany;
7 Nor do they deal out to them for mourning, To comfort him concerning the dead, Nor cause them to drink a cup of consolations For his father and for his mother.
Ary tsy hisy hamahan-kanina azy amin’ ny fisaonany, mba hampionona azy ny amin’ ny maty; Ary tsy hisy hampisotro azy amin’ ny kapoaka fampiononana, raha maty ny rainy na ny reniny;
8 You do not enter a house of banqueting, To sit with them, to eat and to drink,”
Ary aza miditra ao amin’ ny trano misy fanasana koa ianao, hiara-mitoetra aminy hihinana sy hisotro.
9 For thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Behold, I am causing to cease from this place, Before your eyes, and in your days, The voice of joy, and the voice of rejoicing, The voice of bridegroom and voice of bride.
Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Indro, hatsahatro amin’ ity tany ity eo imasonareo sy amin’ ny andronareo ny feo mifaly sy ny feo miravoravo, dia ny feon’ ny mpampakatra sy ny feon’ ny ampakarina.
10 And it has come to pass, When you declare all these words to this people, And they have said to you, Why has YHWH spoken all this great evil against us? Indeed, what [is] our iniquity, and what [is] our sin, That we have sinned against our God YHWH?
Ary raha ambaranao amin’ ity firenena ity izany teny rehetra izany, ka hoy izy aminao: Nahoana Jehovah no nilaza izany loza mafy rehetra izany hamelezana anay? Fa inona no helokay, ary inona no fahotanay, izay nanotanay tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray?
11 Then you have said to them: Because that your fathers have forsaken Me, A declaration of YHWH, And go after other gods, and serve them, And they bow themselves to them, And have forsaken Me, and not kept My law,
dia lazao aminy hoe: Noho ny nahafoizan’ ny razanareo Ahy, hoy Jehovah, sy ny nanarahany andriamani-kafa sy ny nanompoany azy sy ny niankohofany teo anatrehany ary ny nahafoizany Ahy sy ny tsy nitandremany ny lalàko.
12 You also have done evil above your fathers, And behold, you are each walking after the stubbornness of his evil heart, So as not to listen to Me.
Ary ny tenanareo koa nanao ratsy mihoatra noho ny razanareo; Fa he! ianareo samy mandeha araka ny ditry ny fo ratsinareo avokoa ka tsy mihaino Ahy;
13 And I have cast you from off this land, On to a land that you have not known, You and your fathers, And you have served other gods there by day and by night, Where I do not give grace to you.
Ka dia horoahiko hiala amin’ ity tany ity ianareo ho any amin’ ny tany tsy fantatrareo na ny razanareo; Any no hanompoanareo andriamani-kafa andro aman’ alina, satria tsy hamindra fo aminareo Aho.
14 Therefore, behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And it is not said anymore, YHWH lives, who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,
Koa, indro, avy any andro, hoy Jehovah, izay tsy hanaovana intsony hoe: Raha velona koa Jehovah, Izay nitondra ny Zanak’ Isiraely niakatra avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta;
15 But, YHWH lives, who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of the north, And out of all the lands to where He drove them, And I have brought them back to their land, That I gave to their fathers.
Fa izao kosa: Raha velona koa Jehovah, Izay nitondra ny Zanak’ Isiraely niakatra avy tany amin’ ny tany avaratra sy avy tany amin’ ny tany rehetra izay nandroahany azy; Fa hampodiko ho amin’ ny tany izay nomeko ny razany izy.
16 Behold, I am sending for many fishers,” A declaration of YHWH, “And they have fished them, And after this I send for many hunters, And they have hunted them from off every mountain, And from off every hill, and from holes of the rocks.
Indro, Izaho haniraka mpamono maro, hoy Jehovah, Izay hamono azy; Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia haniraka mpihaza maro Aho, Izay hihaza azy any amin’ ny tendrombohitra sy ny havoana rehetra ary any an-tsefatsefaky ny harambato.
17 For My eyes [are] on all their ways, They have not been hidden from My face, Nor has their iniquity been concealed from before My eyes.
Fa ny masoko dia mijery ny alehany rehetra, ka tsy miafina amin’ ny tavako izany, ary tsy takona amin’ ny masoko ny helony.
18 And I have repaid a first—A second time—their iniquity and their sin, Because of their defiling My land, With the carcass of their detestable things, Indeed, their abominations have filled My inheritance.”
Alohan’ izany anefa dia hovaliako avy sasaka ny helony sy ny fahotany noho ny nandotoany ny taniko, dia ny namenoany ny lovako tamin’ ireo fatin’ ny sampiny sy fahavetavetany ireo.
19 O YHWH, my strength, and my fortress, And my refuge in a day of adversity, Nations come to You from the ends of the earth, And say, “Our fathers only inherited falsehood, Vanity, and none among them is profitable.”
Jehovah ô, ry heriko sy fiarovana mafy ho ahy ary fandosirako amin’ ny andro fahoriana ô! Ho tonga aminao ny jentilisa avy any amin’ ny faran’ ny tany dia hanao hoe: Eny, tokoa lainga no nolovan’ ny razanay, dia zava-poana sady tsy misy mahasoa.
20 Does man make gods for himself, And they—no gods?
Moa mahay manao andriamanitra ho azy va ny olona? Tsy Andriamanitra ireny.
21 “Therefore, behold, I am causing them to know at this time, I cause them to know My hand and My might, And they have known that My Name [is] YHWH!”
Koa, indro, hampahafantariko azy amin’ izao indray mandeha izao, eny, hampahafantariko azy ny tanako sy ny heriko, ka dia ho fantany fa Jehovah no anarako.
