Jeremiah 18
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
Izao no teny tonga tamin’ i Jeremia avy tamin’ i Jehovah:
2 “Rise, and you have gone down [to] the potter’s house, and there I cause you to hear My words”;
Mitsangàna, ka midìna ho any amin’ ny tranon’ ny mpanefy tanimanga, ary any no hampandrenesako anao ny teniko.
3 and I go down [to] the potter’s house, and behold, he is doing a work on the stones,
Dia nidina tany amin’ ny tranon’ ny mpanefy tanimanga aho, ary, indro, nanao ny asany teo amin’ ny ankodina fanaovana izy.
4 and the vessel that he is making is marred, as clay in the hand of the potter, and he has turned and he makes it another vessel, as it was right in the eyes of the potter to make.
Ary raha simba ny vilany ataony araka izay mazàna miseho amin’ ny tanimanga eny an-tànan’ ny mpanefy dia ataony vilany hafa indray, araka izay tian’ ny mpanefy tanimanga hanaovana azy.
5 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Dia tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah hoe:
6 “O house of Israel, am I not able to do to you as this potter?” A declaration of YHWH. “Behold, as clay in the hand of the potter, So [are] you in My hand, O house of Israel.
Moa tsy mahazo manao aminareo toy ny ataon’ ity mpanefy tanimanga ity va Aho, ry taranak’ i Isiraely? hoy Jehovah. Indro, toy ny tanimanga eo an-tanan’ ny mpanefy azy, dia toy izany ianareo eo an-tanako, ry taranak’ Isiraely.
7 The moment I speak concerning a nation, And concerning a kingdom, To pluck up and to break down, and to destroy,
Vetivety Aho dia milaza firenena sy fanjakana hongotako sy hazerako ary horavako;
8 And that nation has turned from its evil, Because I have spoken against it, Then I have relented of the calamity that I thought to do to it.
Nefa raha miala amin’ ny ratsy izany firenena noteneniko izany, dia hanenenako kosa ny loza izay nokasaiko hamelezako azy.
9 And the moment I speak concerning a nation, And concerning a kingdom, to build, and to plant,
Ary vetivety kosa Aho dia milaza firenena sy fanjakana haoriko sy hamboleko;
10 And it has done evil in My eyes, So as not to listen to My voice, Then I have relented of the good That I have spoken of doing to it.
Nefa raha manao izay ratsy eo imasoko izy ka tsy mihaino ny feoko, dia hanenenako kosa ny soa izay nolazaiko hanasoavako azy.
11 And now, speak now to men of Judah, And against inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus said YHWH: Behold, I am framing calamity against you, And devising a scheme against you; Please turn back, each from his evil way, And amend your ways and your doings.”
Koa amin’ izany, lazao amin’ ny Joda sy amin’ ny mponina eto Jerosalema hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, Izaho mamorona loza hihatra aminareo ary mihevitra izay hamelezako anareo; Koa samia miala amin’ ny lalany ratsy avy ianareo, ary ataovy tsara ny lalanareo sy ny ataonareo.
12 And they have said, “It is incurable, For we go after our own plans, And each of us does the stubbornness of his evil heart.”
Nefa hoy ireo: Kivy izahay izany! Fa mbola hanaraka ny hevitray ihany izahay, eny, samy hanao araka ny ditry ny fo ratsinay avy izahay rehetra.
13 Therefore, thus said YHWH: “Now ask among the nations, Who has heard such things? The virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing.
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: anontanio any amin’ ny jentilisa hoe: Iza no nandre zavatra toy izany? Zavatra mahatsiravina indrindra no nataon’ Isiraely virijina.
14 Does snow of Lebanon Cease from the rock of the field? Will the cold strange [waters] that are flowing be forsaken?
Hitsahatra tsy ho eo amin’ ny vatolampy any an-tsaha va ny oram-panalan’ i Libanona, ary mety ho ritra va ny rano maria sady mangatsiaka avy amin’ ny tany hafa?
15 But My people have forgotten Me, they make incense to a vain thing, And they cause them to stumble in their ways—paths of old, To walk in paths—a way not raised up,
Fa efa nanadino Ahy ny oloko, ka ho an’ ny sampy no nandoroany ditin-kazo manitra; Ary nanafintohina azy teo amin’ ny lalany ireny; dia ny lalana fahagola, handehanany amin’ ny sakeli-dalana madinika, dia amin’ ny lalana tsy voavoatra,
16 To make their land become a desolation, A continuous hissing, Everyone passing by it is astonished, And bemoans with his head.
Mba hahatonga ny taniny ho figagana sy ho zavatra mampisitrisitra mandrakizay; Izay rehetra mandalo azy dia ho gaga sy hihifikifi-doha.
17 I scatter them before an enemy as with an east wind, I show them the neck and not the face, In the day of their calamity.”
Toy ny fampielin’ ny rivotra avy any atsinanana no hampielezako azy eo anoloan’ ny fahavalony; Hiamboho azy Aho, fa tsy hanatrika azy, amin’ ny andro hahitany loza.
18 And they say, “Come, And we devise schemes against Jeremiah, For law does not perish from the priest, Nor counsel from the wise, Nor the word from the prophet, Come, and we strike him with the tongue, And we do not attend to any of his words.”
Dia hoy ny olona: Andeha isika hihevitra izay hamelezana an’ i Jeremia; fa tsy ho tapaka tsy akory ny lalàna avy amin’ ny mpisorona, na ny saina avy amin’ ny hendry, na ny teny avy amin’ ny mpaminany. Aoka ny vavantsika ho enti-mamely azy, ary aoka tsy hohenointsika akory izay teniny.
19 Give attention, O YHWH, to me, And listen to the voice of those contending with me.
Mihainoa ahy, Jehovah ô; Ary mihainoa ny tenin’ izay miady amiko
20 Is evil repaid instead of good, That they have dug a pit for my soul? Remember my standing before You to speak good of them, To turn back Your wrath from them.
Ratsy va no havaly ny soa? Fa efa nihady lavaka hamandrihana ahy ireo. Tsarovy ny nitsanganako teo anatrehanao nitaraina ho azy hampiala ny fahatezeranao aminy.
21 Therefore, give up their sons to famine, And cause them to run on the sides of the sword, And their wives are bereaved and widows, And their men are slain by death, Their young men [are] struck by sword in battle,
Koa aoka ho mosarena ny zanany, ary atolory ho amin’ ny herin’ ny sabatra izy, ka ho foana anaka ny vadiny sady ho tonga mpitondratena; Ary aoka ny lehilahy lehibe aminy haripaky ny aretina, ary ny zatovony ho fatin-tsabatra amin’ ny ady.
22 A cry is heard from their houses, For You suddenly bring a troop against them, For they dug a pit to capture me, And they have hidden snares for my feet.
Aoka hisy fidradradradrana ho re ao an-tranony, raha mitondra miaramila iray toko any aminy tampoka Hianao; Fa efa nihady lavaka hamandrihana ahy izy sady nanafim-pandrika haningorana ny tongotro.
23 And You, O YHWH, You have known, All their counsel against me [is] for death, You do not cover over their iniquity, Nor blot out their sin from before You, And they are made to stumble before You, Work against them in the time of Your anger!
Fa Hianao, Jehovah ô, no mahalala ny fisainana rehetra ataony hamelezany ahy ho faty; Aza avela ny helony; Ary aza vonoina tsy ho eo imasonao ny fahotany, fa aoka ho solafaka eo anatrehanao izy; Mameleza azy amin’ ny andro fahatezeranao.
