< Jeremiah 50 >
1 The word that the LORD spoke concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by Jeremiah the prophet.
Izao no teny nampilazain’ i Jehovah an’ i Jeremia mpaminany ny amin’ i Babylona dia ny tanin’ ny Kaldeana.
2 "Declare among the nations and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and do not conceal: say, 'Babylon is taken, Bel is disappointed, Marduk is dismayed; her images are disappointed, her idols are dismayed.
Ambaraonareo, eny, torio any amin’ ny firenena, ary manangàna faneva, torio, fa aza afenina, ataovy hoe: Afaka Babylona! Mangaihay Bela, raiki-tahotra Merodaka! Eny, mangaihay ny sampiny, Raiki-tahotra ny sarin-javatra!
3 For out of the north there comes up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell in it: they are fled, they are gone, both man and animal.
Fa misy firenena avy any avaratra miakatra hamely azy ka hahatonga ny taniny ho lao tsy hisy mponina intsony; Fa na ny olona na ny biby dia samy handositra ka ho lasa avokoa.
4 In those days, and in that time,' says the LORD, 'the children of Israel shall come, they and the people of Judah together; they shall go on their way weeping, and shall seek the LORD their God.
Amin’ izany andro izany sy amin’ izany fotoana izany, hoy Jehovah, dia ho avy ny Zanak’ Isirsely, dia izy mbamin’ ny taranak’ i Joda, eny, handeha izy sady hitomany eny am-pandehanana ka hitady an’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny.
5 They shall inquire concerning Zion with their faces turned toward it. They will come and join themselves to the LORD in an everlasting covenant that shall not be forgotten.
Hanontany ny lalana mankany Ziona izy sady hanatrika hankany ka hanao hoe: Avia, ka maneke ho an’ i Jehovah amin’ ny fanekena mandrakizay izay tsy hohadinoina.
6 My people have been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray; they have turned them away on the mountains; they have gone from mountain to hill; they have forgotten their resting place.
Ondry very ny oloko, fa ny mpiandry azy nampirenireny azy, eny, nampirenireny azy teny an-tendrombohitra izy; Nirenireny teny an-tendrombohitra sy teny an-kavoana ireny. Ka hadinony ny tany fandriany.
7 All who found them have devoured them; and their adversaries said, "We are not guilty, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of righteousness, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers."
Izay rehetra nahita azy dia nandringana azy, ary ny fahavalony nanao hoe: Tsy manan-keloka izahay, satria izy efa nanota tamin’ i Jehovah, fonenan’ ny fahamarinana, dia Jedovah, fanantenan’ ny razany.
8 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the male goats before the flocks.
Mandosira hila an’ i Babylona, eny, mialà amin’ ny tanin’ ny Kaldeana, ary aoka ianareo ho tahaka ny anankiray izay tari-dalan’ ny ondry aman’ osy andiany.
9 For, look, I will stir up and cause to come up against Babylon a company of great nations from the north country; and they shall set themselves in array against her; from there she shall be taken. Their arrows shall be like a skilled warrior who does not return empty-handed.
Fa, indro, Izaho hamporisika sy hampiakatra firenena lehibe manao andiany avy any avaratra hamely an’ i Babylona; Ary hilahatra hamely azy ireo, ka avy ao no hanafahany azy; Ny zana-tsipìkany ho tahaka ny lehilahy mahery sady mahay, izay tsy miverina foana.
10 Chaldea shall be a prey: all who prey on her shall be satisfied,' says the LORD.'
Ary Kaldea ho voababo; Izay rehetra mamabo azy dia ho afa-po, hoy Jehovah.
11 Because you are glad, because you rejoice, O you who plunder my heritage, because you are wanton as a heifer that treads out the grain, and neigh as strong horses;
Satria, mifaly sy miravoravo ianareo, ry mpamabo ny lovako, eny, mifalihavanja toy ny ombivavy kely mively vary ianareo sady maneno toy ny soavaly matanjaka;
12 your mother shall be utterly disappointed; she who bore you shall be confounded: look, she shall be the least of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
Dia ho menatra indrindra ny reninareo, hangaihay ilay niteraka anareo; Indro, ny faran’ ny firenena, efitra sy tany karankaina ary tani-hay!
13 Because of the wrath of the LORD she shall not be inhabited, but she shall be wholly desolate: everyone who goes by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
Noho ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah dia tsy honenana Babylona. Fa ho tonga tany lao avokoa; Izay rehetra mandalo azy dia ho gaga ka hisitrisitra noho ny loza rehetra namelezana azy.
14 "Set yourselves in array against Babylon all around, all you who bend the bow; shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she has sinned against the LORD.
Milahara manodidina hamely an’ i Babylona, ianareo rehetra izay manenjana tsipìka; Asio izy, fa aza tsitsina ny zana-tsipìka, fa tamin’ i Jehovah no nanotany.
15 Shout against her all around: she has submitted herself; her towers are fallen, her walls are thrown down; for it is the vengeance of the LORD: take vengeance on her; as she has done, do to her.
Akoray manodidina izy! Fa efa nikoy; Nirodana ny bateriny, rava ny mandany; Fa famalian’ i Jehovah izany. Valio izy, eny, toy ny efa nataony no mba ataovinareo aminy kosa.
16 Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him who handles the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn everyone to his people, and they shall flee everyone to his own land."'
Aringano tsy ho any Babylona ny mpamafy sy izay mitana fijinjana amin’ ny fararano; Fa noho ny sabatra mandoza dia samy hihodina ho any amin’ ny fireneny avy izy, ary samy handositra ho any amin’ ny taniny avy.
17 'Israel is a hunted sheep; the lions have driven him away: first, the king of Assyria devoured him; and now at last Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has broken his bones.
Ondry iray voavily ny Isiraely, Liona no nanenjika azy; Voalohany dia ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria no nandany azy. Ary farany dia ity Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, ity no nanapatapaka ny taolany.
18 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "Look, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Indro, hovaliko ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona sy ny taniny toy ny efa namaliako ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria.
19 I will bring Israel again to his pasture, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied on the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead.
Ary hampodiko ho any amin’ ny saha fiandrasana azy indray ny Isiraely, ka hihinana ao Karmela sy Basana izy; Ary any an-tany havoan’ i Daima sy Gileada no hahavoky azy.
20 In those days, and in that time, says the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I leave as a remnant."'"
Amin’ izany andro izany sy amin’ izany fotoana izany, hoy Jehovah, dia hotadiavina izay heloky ny Isiraely, fa tsy hisy; Ary izay fahotan’ ny Joda, fa tsy ho hita; Satria havelako ny helok’ izay sisa narovako.
21 "Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: kill and utterly destroy after them," says the LORD, "and do according to all that I have commanded you.
Iakaro Ibefikomiana sy ny mponina ao Arapamaliana; Ravao sy aringano manarakaraka azy, hoy Jehovah, ary manaova araka izay rehetra nandidiako anao.
22 A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.
Misy tabataban’ ady amin’ ny tany sy fandringanana be.
23 How is the hammer of the whole earth cut apart and broken. How is Babylon become a desolation among the nations.
Indrisy! tapaka sy torotoro ilay fampohazan’ ny tany rehetra; Indrisy! Babylona efa tonga figagana any amin’ ny firenena.
24 I have laid a snare for you, and you are also taken, Babylon, and you weren't aware: you are found, and also caught, because you have striven against the LORD.
Nofandrihako ianao, ry Babylona, ka voa, nefa tsy fantatrao akory; Hita ka voasambotra koa ianao, Satria nila ady tamin’ i Jehovah.
25 The LORD has opened his armory, and has brought forth the weapons of his indignation; for the Lord, the LORD of hosts, has a work to do in the land of the Chaldeans.
Novohan’ i Jehovah ny firaketany. Ka navoakany ny fitaovan’ ny fahatezerany; Fa misy hataon’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Kaldeana.
26 Come against her from the utmost border; open her storehouses; cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly; let nothing of her be left.
Avia avokoa ianareo rehetra hamely azy; Vohay ny trano fitoeran-kanina, atobitobio toy ny antontan-bary, ka levony avokoa izay ao; Fa aza avela hisy sisa ho azy.
27 Kill all her bulls; let them go down to the slaughter. Woe to them, their day has come, the time of their visitation."
Vonoy ireo ombilahy rehetra, ary aoka hidina ho any amin’ ny famonoana izy. Mahita loza izy, fa tonga ny androny, dia ny fotoana hamaliana azy.
28 The voice of those who flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple.
Injany! misy feon’ izay mandositra sy izay afaka avy any amin’ ny tany Babylona, hanambara ny famalian’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika ao Ziona, dia ny famaliana noho ny tempoliny.
29 "Call together the archers against Babylon, all those who bend the bow; camp against her all around; let none of it escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she has done, do to her; for she has been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.
Antsoy ny mpandefa zana-tsipìka hamely an’ i Babylona. Dia ny mpanenjana tsipìka rehetra; Mitobia manodidina hamely azy; Aoka tsy hisy ho afaka izy; Valio araka ny asany izy, eny, araka ny asa rehetra nataony, no mba ataovy aminy kosa; Fa niavonavona tamin’ i Jehovah izy, dia tamin’ ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely.
30 Therefore her young men will fall in her streets, and all her men of war will be brought to silence in that day," says the LORD.
Koa hiampatrampatra eny an-kalalahana ny zatovony, ary ho ringana ny miaramilany rehetra amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah.
31 "Look, I am against you, you proud one," says the LORD of hosts; for your day has come, the time that I will visit you.
Indro, hiatrika aminao Aho, ry Ifiavonavonana, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro; Fa tonga ny andronao, dia ny fotoana hamaliako anao.
32 The proud one shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up; and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all who are around him."
Ho tafintohina Ifiavonavonana, dia ho lavo, ka tsy hisy hanarina azy; Ary handrehitra afo ao an-tanànany Aho, ka handevona ny manodidina azy rehetra izany.
33 Thus says the LORD of hosts: "The children of Israel and the people of Judah are oppressed together; and all who took them captive hold them fast; they refuse to let them go.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Niara-nampahorina ny Zanak’ Isiraely sy ny taranak’ i Joda; Ary izay rehetra namabo azy dia mihazona azy mafy ka tsy mety mandefa azy.
34 Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts is his name: he will thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the earth, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
Mahery ny Mpanavotra azy, Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no anarany; Handahatra ny adiny tokoa Izy, mba hampiadana ny tany sy hampangovitra ny mponina any Babylona kosa.
35 A sword is on the Chaldeans," says the LORD, "and on the inhabitants of Babylon, and on her officials, and on her wise men.
Indro! hisy sabatra hamely ny Kaldeana mbamin’ ny mponina any Babylona sy ny mpanapaka azy sy ny olon-kendriny, hoe Jehovah.
36 A sword is on the boasters, and they shall become fools; a sword is on her mighty men, and they shall be dismayed.
Indro! hisy sabatra hamely ny mpibedibedy, ka ho very saina izy; Indro! hisy sabatra hamely ny lehilahy maheriny, ka hivadi-po izy.
37 A sword is on their horses, and on their chariots, and on all the mixed people who are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is on her treasures, and they shall be robbed.
Indro! hisy sabatra hamely ny soavaliny sy ny kalesiny mbamin’ ny olona samy hafa firenena rehetra ao aminy, ka ho tonga toy ny vehivavy ireny! Indro! Hisy sabatra hamely ny firaketany, ka horobaina izany.
38 A drought is on her waters, and they shall be dried up; for it is a land of engraved images, and they glory over idols.
Ny fihantonan’ ny andro no mahatankina ny ranony; Fa tany be sarin-javatra voasokitra izy, ary ny sampiny mahatahotra mahadala azy.
39 Therefore the wild animals of the desert with the wolves shall dwell there, and the ostriches shall dwell in it: and it shall be no more inhabited forever; neither shall it be lived in from generation to generation.
Koa ny bibi-dia any an-efitra sy ny kary sy ny ostritsa no honina ao; Tsy honenana intsony mandrakizay izy ary tsy hitoerana hatramin’ ny taranaka fara-mandimby.
40 As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities of it," says the LORD, "so shall no man dwell there, neither shall any son of man live in it."
Toy ny nandravan’ Andriamanitra an’ i Sodoma sy Gomora mbamin’ ny tanàna eny akaikiny, hoy Jehovah, no tsy hisian’ olona honina any na zanak’ olombelona hivahiny any.
41 "Look, a people comes from the north; and a great nation and many kings shall be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.
Indro, misy firenena avy any avaratra, dia firenena lehibe sy mpanjaka maro no mitsangana avy any amin’ ny faran’ ny tany.
42 They lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roars like the sea; and they ride on horses, everyone set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, daughter of Babylon.
Tsipika sy lefona no entiny; Lozabe sy tsy mamindra fo izy, ny feony dia mirohondrohona toy ny ranomasina, sady mitaingin-tsoavaly izy ary voaomana tahaka ny lehilahy ho amin’ ny ady, hamely anao, ry Babylona zanakavavy.
43 The king of Babylon has heard the news of them, and his hands wax feeble: anguish has taken hold of him, pains as of a woman in labor.
Efa ren’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona ny lazany, ka miraviravy tànany izy; Fahoriana no mahazo azy, eny, fanaintainana tahaka ny vehivavy raha miteraka.
44 Look, the enemy shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them run away from it; and whoever is chosen, him will I appoint over it: for who is like me? And who will appoint me a time? And who is the shepherd who can stand before me?"
Indro, toy ny fiakatry ny liona avy ao amin’ ny kirihitrala eny amoron’ i Jordana no hiakarany ho any amin’ ny misy ahitra mateza; Nefa hampandosiriko tampoka hiala ao aminy izy, ary izay olona anankiray voafidy no hotendreko hanapaka azy; Fa iza no tahaka Ahy, ary iza no hifandahatra amiko? Ary iza moa no mpiandry ondry mahajanona eo anatrehako?
45 Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: "Surely they shall drag them away, even the little ones of the flock; surely he shall make their habitation desolate over them.
Koa henoy ny saina avy amin’ i Jehovah, izay nosaininy hamelezana an’ i Babylona, sy ny heviny izay noheveriny hamelezana ny tanin’ ny Kaldeana: Hoviraviraina tokoa ireny, dia ny kely indrindra amin’ ny ondry; Ho gaga azy tokoa ny saha fiandrasana azy.
46 At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth trembles, and the cry is heard among the nations."
Noho ny antsoantso hoe: “Efa afaka Babylona”, dia mihorohoro ny tany, ary ny fitarainana dia re any amin’ ny firenena.
