Jeremiah 5
1 "Run back and forth through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places of it, if you can find a man, if there are any who does justly, who seeks truth; and I will pardon 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 Though they say, 'As YHWH lives;' surely they swear falsely."
Ndra te manao ty hoe, Amy te veloñe t’Iehovà; manao fanta vilañe re.
3 YHWH, do your eyes not look on truth? You have stricken them, but they were not grieved. You have consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction. They have made their faces harder than a rock. They have refused to return.
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 Then I said, "Surely these are poor. They are foolish; for they do not know the way of YHWH, nor the law of their God.
Le hoe iraho, rarake avao iereo, gege; tsy fohi’ iareo ty lala’ Iehovà, o lilin’ Andrianañahare’ iareoo.
5 I will go to the great men, and will speak to them; for they know the way of YHWH, and the law of their God." But these with one accord have broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.
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 shall kill them, a wolf of the evenings shall destroy them, a leopard shall watch against their cities; everyone who goes out there shall be torn in pieces; because their transgressions are many, and their backsliding is increased.
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 "How can I pardon you? Your children have forsaken me, and sworn by what are no gods. When I had fed them to the full, they committed adultery, and assembled themselves in troops at the prostitutes' houses.
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 They were as fed horses roaming at large: everyone neighed after his neighbor's wife.
Soavala lahi’e mpilelalela iereo, songa mitreñe amy tañanjomban-drañe’ey.
9 Shouldn't I punish them for these things?" says YHWH; "and shouldn't my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Tsy ho lafaeko hao? Hoe t’Iehovà; tsy hondroheko hao ty fifeheañe manahake zao?
10 "Go up on her walls, and destroy; but do not make a full end. Take away her branches; 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 and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me," says YHWH.
Toe songa nitsambolitiok’ ahy ty anjomba’ Israele naho ty anjomba’ Iehodà, hoe t’Iehovà;
12 They have denied YHWH, and said, "It is not he; neither shall evil come on us; neither shall we see sword nor famine.
nanoe’e entam-bande t’Iehovà, ami’ty hoe: Tsy Ie; tsy hiambotraha’ ty raty tika, vaho tsy hizò fibara ndra kerè.
13 The prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them. Thus shall it be done to them."
Kafoake avao o mpitokio, tsy am’ iareo i tsaray; aa le zay ty hanoañe iareo.
14 Therefore thus says YHWH, the God of hosts, "Because you speak this word, look, I will make my words in your mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour 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 Look, I will bring a nation on you from far, house of Israel," says YHWH. "It is a mighty nation. It is an ancient nation, a nation whose language you do not know, neither understand what they say.
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 Their quiver is an open tomb, they are all mighty men.
Hoe kibory misokake ty trañon-ana-pale’ iareo, songa fanalolahy.
17 They shall eat up your harvest, and your bread, which your sons and your daughters should eat. They shall eat up your flocks and your herds. They shall eat up your vines and your fig trees. They shall beat down your fortified cities, in which you trust, with 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 "But even in those days," says YHWH, "I will not make a full end with you.
Fa ndra amy andro rezay, hoe t’Iehovà, tsy ho fonga mongoreko.
19 It will happen, when you say, 'Why has YHWH our God done all these things to us?' Then you shall say to them, 'Thus says YHWH, Just like you have forsaken me, and served foreign gods in your land, so you shall 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 publish it in Judah, saying,
Koiho añ’anjomba’ Iakobe naho tseizo e Iehodà ao ty hoe:
21 'Hear now this, foolish people, and without understanding; who have eyes, and do not see; who have ears, and 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?' says YHWH 'Won't you tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, by a perpetual decree, that it can't pass it? And though its waves toss themselves, yet they can't prevail; though they roar, yet they can't pass over it.'
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 "But this people has a revolting and a rebellious heart; they have revolted and gone.
F’ie manjehatse naho miola ty arofo’ondaty retoa, miveve vaho mienga.
24 Neither do they say in their heart, 'Let us now fear YHWH our God, who gives rain, both the former and the latter, in its season; who preserves to us the appointed weeks of the harvest.'
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 away these things, and your sins have withheld good from you.
Fa nampihake irezay o hakeo’oo, le nampisitake ty hasoa ama’o o tahi’oo.
26 For among my people are found wicked men. They watch, as fowlers lie in wait. They set a trap. They catch men.
Toe zoeñe am’ondatikoo o lo-tserekeo, mijilo hoe mpitsepa-boroñe le mikopete; mampibitsoke fandri-bo; mamandrike ondaty.
27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit. Therefore they have become great, and grew rich.
Manahake ty kipa pea voroñe, o kivoho’ iareo lipo-kiniao; aa le nitoabotse ty enge naho ty vara’ iareo.
28 They have grown fat. They shine; yes, they excel in deeds of wickedness. They do not plead the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may prosper; and they do not judge the right 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 "Shall I not punish for these things?" says YHWH. "Shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Tsy ho liloveko hao iereo? hoe t’Iehovà, tsy ho valeko fate hao ty fifeheañe manahake itone?
30 "An astonishing and horrible thing has happened in the land.
Raha mahavereñe naho haloloañe ty nifetsake amy taney:
31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule by their own authority; and my people love to have it so. What will you do in the end of it?
mitoky vilañe o mpitokio, vaho mañorike o mpitokio ty fifehea’ o mpisoroñeo; izay ty tea’ ondatikoo, fa ino ty hanoe’areo am-pigadoña’e?
