Jeremiah 5
1 “Go to and fro in streets of Jerusalem, And see now and know, And seek in her broad places, If you find a man, If there is one doing judgment, Seeking steadfastness—Then I am propitious to her.
Miveziveze eny an-dalamben’ i Jerosalema ianareo, ka izahao sy fantaro ary tadiavo ao an-kalalahana, fa raha mba misy olona hitanareo, izay manao ny marina sy mitady ny hitsiny, dia havelako ny helok’ i Jerosalema.
2 And if they say, YHWH lives, Surely they swear to a falsehood.”
Ary na dia misy aza manao hoe: Raha velona koa Jehovah, dia entiny mianian-tsy tò izany.
3 YHWH, Your eyes, are they not on steadfastness? You have struck them, and they have not grieved, You have consumed them, They have refused to receive instruction, They made their faces harder than a rock, They have refused to turn back.
Jehovah ô, tsy mijery ny toe-panahy mahatoky va ny masonao? Namely azy Hianao, nefa tsy nahatsiaro naharary izy; Nandany azy Hianao, nefa tsy nety nino anatra izy; Nohamafisiny mihoatra noho ny harambato ny tarehiny, tsy nety niverina izy.
4 And I said, “Surely these [are] poor, They have been foolish, For they have not known the way of YHWH, The judgment of their God.
Ka dia hoy izaho: Olona ambany ireto; Adala izy fa tsy mahalala ny lalan’ i Jehovah, na ny fitsipik’ Andriamaniny;
5 I go to the great, and I speak with them, For they have known the way of YHWH, The judgment of their God.” Surely they have broken the yoke together, They have drawn away the bands.
Handeha ho any amin’ ny lehibe aho lahy ka hiteny aminy, fa ireny dia mahalala ny lalan’ i Jehovah sy ny fitsipik’ Andriamaniny; Kanjo ireny koa aza dia samy efa nanapaka zioga sy nanito fatorana.
6 Therefore a lion out of the forest has struck them, A wolf of the deserts spoils them, A leopard is watching over their cities, Everyone who is going out of them is torn, For their transgressions have been many, Their backslidings have been mighty.
Koa noho izany dia mamely azy ny liona avy any an’ ala, ary mandringana azy ny amboadia avy any an-efitra, ny leoparda miandry hamely ny tanànany, ka izay rehetra mivoaka avy ao dia viraviraina; Fa efa maro ny fahadisoany, ary fatratra ny fiodinany.
7 “I am not propitious to you for this, Your sons have forsaken Me, And are satisfied by [those who are] not gods, I satisfy them, and they commit adultery, And at the house of a harlot They gather themselves together.
Koa nahoana Aho no hamela ny helokao? Efa nahafoy Ahy ny zanakao ka efa nianiana tamin’ izay tsy Andriamanitra; Efa nampianianiko izy, nefa nijangajanga ihany ka nirohitra niditra tao an-tranon’ ny vehivavy janga.
8 Fed horses—they have been early risers, They each neigh to the wife of his neighbor.
Tahaka ny soavaly tsara fahana izy ka nikarenjy tamin’ izay tiany, samy naneno tamin’ ny vadin’ ny namany avy.
9 Do I not lay a charge for these?” A declaration of YHWH, “And on a nation such as this, Does My soul not avenge itself?
Tsy hovaliako va izy amin’ izany? hoy Jehovah; Ary tsy hialako fo va ny firenena toy izany?
10 Go up on her walls, and destroy, And I do not make a completion, Turn her branches aside, For they [are] not YHWH’s,
Miakara eo amin’ ny mandany ianareo, ka mameleza, nefa aza dia levonina avokoa izy; Esory ny sakeliny, satria tsy an’ i Jehovah izy.
11 For the house of Israel has dealt treacherously against Me, And the house of Judah,” A declaration of YHWH.
Fa efa nivadika tamiko mihitsy ny taranak’ Isiraely sy ny taranak’ i Joda, hoy Jehovah.
12 They have lied against YHWH, And they say, “[It is] not He, Nor does evil come in against us, Indeed, we do not see sword and famine.
Nahafoy an’ i Jehovah izy ka nanao hoe: Tsy Izy no izy; Tsy hisy loza hanjo antsika, ary tsy hahita sabatra na mosary isika;
13 And the prophets become wind, And the word is not in them, Thus it is done to them.”
Ny mpaminany dia hanjary rivotra, ary tsy ao am-pony Ilay miteny; Eny, izany no hanjo azy.
14 Therefore, thus said YHWH, God of Hosts: “Because of your speaking this word, Behold, I am making My words become fire in your mouth, And this people wood, And it has devoured them.
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro. Noho ny nanaovanareo izany teny izany, indro, hataoko afo ny teniko izay eo am-bavanao, ary ity firenena ity ho kitay hazo ka holevoniny.
15 Behold, I am bringing against you a nation from afar, O house of Israel,” A declaration of YHWH, “It [is] a strong nation, It [is] an ancient nation, A nation whose tongue you do not know, Nor understand what it speaks.
Indro, efa hitondra firenena avy lavitra Aho hamely anareo, ry taranak’ Isiraely, hoy Jehovah, dia firenena mateza hery, Firenena hatry ny ela, Firenena izay tsy fantatrao ny fiteniny, ka tsy ho azonao izay lazainy.
16 Its quiver [is] as an open tomb, All of them—mighty ones.
Ny tranon-jana-tsipìkany dia tahaka ny fasana misokatra; Izy rehetra dia samy lehilahy mahery avokoa.
17 And it has consumed your harvest and your bread, They consume your sons, and your daughters, It consumes your flock, and your herd, It consumes your vine and your fig tree, It makes your fortified cities poor, In which you are trusting—by the sword.
Ary hohaniny ny vokatrao sy ny haninao, hohaniny ny zanakao-lahy sy ny zanakao-vavy, hohaniny ny ondry aman’ osinao sy ny ombinao, hohaniny ny voalobokao sy ny aviavinao, sady horavany amin’ ny sabatra ny tanàna mimanda izay itokianao.
18 And even in those days,” A declaration of YHWH, “I do not make you a completion.
Nefa na dia amin’ izany andro izany aza, hoy Jehovah, tsy dia holevoniko avokoa ianareo.
19 And it has come to pass, when you say, Why has our God YHWH done all these [things] to us? That you have said to them, As you have forsaken Me, And serve the gods of a foreigner in your land, So you serve strangers in a land [that is] not yours.
Ary raha hoy izy: Nahoana Jehovah Andriamanitsika no dia nanao izany rehetra izany tamintsika? Dia hovalianao hoe: Toy ny nahafoizanareo Ahy sy ny nanompoanareo andriamani-kafa teo amin’ ny taninareo no hanompoanareo ny firenen-kafa any amin’ ny tany izay tsy anareo.
20 Declare this in the house of Jacob, And sound it in Judah, saying,
Ambarao ao amin’ ny taranak’ i Jakoba, ary torio ao amin’ ny Joda hoe:
21 Now hear this, O people, foolish and without heart, They have eyes, and they do not see, They have ears, and they do not hear.
Henoy izao, ry firenena adala sady tsy manan-tsaina, izay mana-maso, fa tsy mahita, ary manan-tsofina, fa tsy mandre:
22 Do you not fear Me?” A declaration of YHWH; “Are you not pained from My presence? Who has made sand the border of the sea, A perpetual limit, and it does not pass over it, They shake themselves, and they are not able, Indeed, its billows have sounded, and they do not pass over.
Izaho va tsy atahoranareo? hoy Jehovah; Tsy mangovitra va ianareo eo anatrehako, izay nanao ny fasika ho fefin’ ny ranomasina, dia fetra mandrakizay tsy azony hihoarana? Ka na dia mitopatopa aza ny onjany, dia tsy mahavaky azy, ary na dia mirohondrohona aza, dia tsy mahahoatra azy.
23 And this people has an apostatizing and rebelling heart, They have turned aside, and they go on.
Fa ity firenena ity dia manana fo maditra sy miodina; Mihodìna izy ka lasa,
24 And they have not said in their heart, Now let us fear our God YHWH, who is giving rain, The autumn rain and the spring rain, in its season, He keeps the appointed weeks of harvest for us.
Ary tsy manao anakampo akory hoe: Aoka isika hatahotra an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika, izay mandatsaka ranonorana, dia ny loha-orana sy ny fara-orana amin’ ny fotoany avy; Ary ireo herinandro voatendry ho amin’ ny fararano dia tandremany ho antsika.
25 Your iniquities have turned these away, And your sins have kept the good from you.
Ny helokareo no nampiala izany, ary ny fahotanareo no misakana ny soa tsy ho azonareo.
26 For the wicked have been found among My people. He watches like one who sets snares, They have set up a trap—they capture men.
Fa misy hita fa ratsy fanahy ny oloko; Mamitsaka sy mijoko toy ny mpamandri-borona izy, mamela-pandrika izy, ka olona no azony.
27 As a cage full of birds, So their houses are full of deceit, Therefore they have been great, and are rich.
Toy ny tranom-borona feno vorona no mahafeno fitaka ny tranony; Ary noho izany dia tonga lehibe sy mpanankarena izy.
28 They have been fat, they have shone, Indeed, they have surpassed the acts of the evil, They have not judged judgment, The judgment of the fatherless—and they prosper, And they have not judged the judgment of the needy.
Efa mihatavy izy ka mandimandina, dia mihoa-pampana amin’ ny fanaovan-dratsy; Tsy mety mitsara ady mba hahazoan’ ny kamboty ny rariny izy, ary ny adin’ ny malahelo tsy mba tsarainy.
29 Do I not inspect for these,” A declaration of YHWH, “On a nation such as this, Does My soul not avenge itself?
Tsy hovaliako amin’ izany va izy? hoy Jehovah; Tsy hialako fo va ny firenena toy izany?
30 An astonishing and horrible thing has been in the land:
Zava-mahagaga sy mahatsiravina no atao eo amin’ ny tany;
31 The prophets have prophesied falsely, And the priests bear rule by their means, And My people have loved [it] so, And what do they do at its latter end?”
Ny mpaminany maminany lainga, ny mpisorona: manapaka araka izay atoron’ ireny, ary ny oloko mankasitraka izany; Koa hanao ahoana re ianareo any am-parany?
