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.
Mikariokarioha amo lala’ Ierosalaimeo, mijilojilova vaho mahaoniña! Tsikaraho o kiririsa’eo ke hahaisake ondaty manao ty hahiti’e, mipay ty hatò— le hiheveako.
2 And if they say, YHWH lives, Surely they swear to a falsehood.”
Ndra te manao ty hoe, Amy te veloñe t’Iehovà; manao fanta vilañe re.
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.
Ry Iehovà, tsy mitsoeke ty hatò hao o fihaino’oo? Linafa’o iereo f’ie tsy nalorè; nimongore’o fe tsy mete avohotse; nanoe’ iareo gañe ta ty vato o tarehe’ iareoo; mifoneñe tsy hisoloho.
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.
Le hoe iraho, rarake avao iereo, gege; tsy fohi’ iareo ty lala’ Iehovà, o lilin’ Andrianañahare’ iareoo.
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.
Homb’amo roandriañeo arè iraho, tsy mete tsy rendre’ iereo o sata’ Iehovào, o lilin’ Andrianañahare’ iareoo. F’ie songa nampipozake i jokay, nandrafarafake o talirandrañeo.
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.
Toly ndra hampibaibay iareo o liona boak’ añ’alao, hanjaman’ iareo ty maràmbolo boak’ an-dratraratra ao. Mijilojilo o rova’eo ty farasi-lahi’e; ie mandrimidrimitse ze miakatse —amy ty hamaro’ o fiolà’ iareoo, fa losotse ty fidisa-voli’ iareo.
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.
Aa vaho akore ty hiheveako azo? Fa nieng’ahy o ana’oo naho nifanta amo ndrahare tsie’eo; ie nampianjañeko, le nañarapilo, vaho nikovovoke mb’añ’ akiban-tsimiriram-beo.
8 Fed horses—they have been early risers, They each neigh to the wife of his neighbor.
Soavala lahi’e mpilelalela iereo, songa mitreñe amy tañanjomban-drañe’ey.
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 ho lafaeko hao? Hoe t’Iehovà; tsy hondroheko hao ty fifeheañe manahake zao?
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,
Soroho o tondam-bahe’eo le fongoro, fe anisao; holiro o tsampa’eo amy te tsy a’ Iehovà.
11 For the house of Israel has dealt treacherously against Me, And the house of Judah,” A declaration of YHWH.
Toe songa nitsambolitiok’ ahy ty anjomba’ Israele naho ty anjomba’ Iehodà, hoe t’Iehovà;
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.
nanoe’e entam-bande t’Iehovà, ami’ty hoe: Tsy Ie; tsy hiambotraha’ ty raty tika, vaho tsy hizò fibara ndra kerè.
13 And the prophets become wind, And the word is not in them, Thus it is done to them.”
Kafoake avao o mpitokio, tsy am’ iareo i tsaray; aa le zay ty hanoañe iareo.
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.
Hoe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ i màroy: Kanao sinao’ areo i entañe zay, le hanoeko afo am-palie’o ao o volakoo, naho hatae ondaty retoañe, hamorototoeko iareo.
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.
Hampiambotraheko ama’o ty fifeheañe boake tsietoitane añe, ry anjomba’ Israele, hoe t’Iehovà. Fifeheañe lava havelo, fifelehañe haehae, tane aman-tsaontsy tsy fohi’o, vaho tsy hapota’o ze taroñe’e.
16 Its quiver [is] as an open tomb, All of them—mighty ones.
Hoe kibory misokake ty trañon-ana-pale’ iareo, songa fanalolahy.
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.
Habotse’ iareo ty nivokare’o naho ty mahakama’o; hagedra’ iareo o ana-dahi’oo naho o anak’ampela’oo; ho kamae’ iareo o lia-rai’oo naho o mpirai-tro’oo: ho genohe’ iareo o vahe’oo naho o sakoa’oo; ho demohe’ iareo am-pibara o rova fatratse iatoa’oo.
18 And even in those days,” A declaration of YHWH, “I do not make you a completion.
Fa ndra amy andro rezay, hoe t’Iehovà, tsy ho fonga mongoreko.
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.
Aa ie manao ty hoe iereo: Ino ty nanoe’Iehovà Andrianañahare-tika amantika i hene raha zay? le hoe ty havale’o: Hambañ’amy namorintseña’ areo Ahiy, naho nitoroñe ‘ndrahare ila’e an-tane’ areo ao, t’ie hitoroñe ambahiny an-tane tsy anahareo.
20 Declare this in the house of Jacob, And sound it in Judah, saying,
Koiho añ’anjomba’ Iakobe naho tseizo e Iehodà ao ty 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.
Janjiño zao ry ondaty gege, tsy mahilalao; amam-pihaino fe tsy mahaoniñe, aman-dravembia f’ie tsy mahajanjiñe.
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.
Tsy mañeveñe amako hao nahareo? hoe t’Iehovà; Tsy mihondrahondra añatrefako etoa hao nahareo? Napoko ho fañefetse amy riakey i faseñey, ho sebañe nainai’e tsy hisorohañe; aa ndra te mitoabotse o onja’eo tsy hahafitroatse, ndra te mitroñe tsy haha-fitsaka aze.
23 And this people has an apostatizing and rebelling heart, They have turned aside, and they go on.
F’ie manjehatse naho miola ty arofo’ondaty retoa, miveve vaho mienga.
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.
Tsy anoe’ iereo añ’arofo ao ty hoe: Antao hañeveñe am’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika, ie mampahavy orañe an-tsa’e, i orañ’asotriy naho i oram-panjakay vaho tana’e ho antika o hereñandro namantañeñe ho fitatahañeo.
25 Your iniquities have turned these away, And your sins have kept the good from you.
Fa nampihake irezay o hakeo’oo, le nampisitake ty hasoa ama’o o tahi’oo.
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.
Toe zoeñe am’ondatikoo o lo-tserekeo, mijilo hoe mpitsepa-boroñe le mikopete; mampibitsoke fandri-bo; mamandrike ondaty.
27 As a cage full of birds, So their houses are full of deceit, Therefore they have been great, and are rich.
Manahake ty kipa pea voroñe, o kivoho’ iareo lipo-kiniao; aa le nitoabotse ty enge naho ty vara’ iareo.
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.
Vondrake naho sometsetse, mitombo am-pikitrohan-draty, tsy zakae’ iereo ami’ty hatò ty enta’ i bodey hampiraorao aze, vaho tsy arova’ iareo ty zo’ o rarakeo.
29 Do I not inspect for these,” A declaration of YHWH, “On a nation such as this, Does My soul not avenge itself?
Tsy ho liloveko hao iereo? hoe t’Iehovà, tsy ho valeko fate hao ty fifeheañe manahake itone?
30 An astonishing and horrible thing has been in the land:
Raha mahavereñe naho haloloañe ty nifetsake amy taney:
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?”
mitoky vilañe o mpitokio, vaho mañorike o mpitokio ty fifehea’ o mpisoroñeo; izay ty tea’ ondatikoo, fa ino ty hanoe’areo am-pigadoña’e?
