< Jeremiah 13 >
1 Thus saith Jehovah to me: Go and get thee a linen girdle, and put it on thy loins, and put it not into water!
Izao no nolazain’ i Jehovah tamiko: Andeha mividy fehin-kibo rongony ho anao, ka ifehezo ny kibonao, fa aza atao anaty rano.
2 So I got a girdle according to the word of Jehovah, and put it on my loins.
Dia nividy fehin-kibo aho araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah ka nifehezako ny kiboko.
3 Then the word of Jehovah came to me the second time, saying,
Ary tonga tamiko fanindroany ny tenin’ i Jehovah hoe:
4 Take the girdle which thou hast gotten, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.
Ento ny fehin-kibo izay novidinao, dia ilay ifehezanao ny kibonao, ka mitsangana, mankanesa any Eofrata, ary afeno ao an-tsefatsefaky ny harambato izy.
5 So I went and hid it near the Euphrates, as Jehovah commanded me.
Ka dia nandeha aho, ary nafeniko tao amoron’ i Eofrata izy, araka ny nandidian’ i Jehovah ahy.
6 And after many days Jehovah said to me. Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take thence the girdle which I commanded thee to hide there.
Ary nony afaka andro maro, dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Mitsangana, ka mankanesa any Eofrata, ary alao any ny fehin-kibo, dia ilay nasaiko nafeninao tany.
7 Then I went to the Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hidden it; and, behold, the girdle was marred, so that it was good for nothing.
Dia nankany Eofrata aho ka nihady, ary nalaiko tao amin’ ny fitoerana nanafenako azy ilay fehin-kibo; kanjo, indro, simba ny fehin-kibo ka tsy azo natao na inona na inona intsony.
8 Then the word of Jehovah came to me, saying: —
Dia tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah hoe:
9 Thus saith Jehovah: After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, And the great pride of Jerusalem.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Tahaka izany no hanimbako ny avonavon’ ny Joda sy ny haben’ ny avonavon’ i Jerosalema.
10 This evil people, Who refuse to hearken to my words, Who walk after the obstinacy of their heart, And walk after strange gods, To serve them and to worship them, Shall be like this girdle, Which is good for nothing.
Ity firenena ratsy ity, izay tsy mety mihaino ny teniko, fa mandeha amin’ ny ditry ny fony ka manaraka andriamani-kafa mba hotompoiny sy hiankohofany, dia ho tahaka ity fehin-kibo ity, izay tsy azo atao na inona na inona intsony.
11 For as a girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, So have I caused to cleave to me the whole house of Israel, And the whole house of Judah, saith Jehovah, That they might be to me a people, And a name, and a praise, and a glory; But they hearkened not to me.
Fa toy ny firaikitry ny fehin-kibo amin’ ny valahan’ ny olona no nampiraiketako ny taranak’ Isiraely sy ny taranak’ i Joda rehetra tamiko, hoy Jehovah, mba ho olona sy anarana sy fiderana ary voninahitra ho Ahy ireny Kanjo tsy nety nihaino izy.
12 Then shalt thou speak to them in this manner. Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Every flagon shall be filled with wine. And they will say to thee, “Do we not know that every flagon shall be filled with wine?”
Ary izao teny izao dia lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Ny tavoara rehetra dia feno divay; ary izy hanao aminao hoe: Moa tsy efa fantatray ihany va fa feno divay ny tavoara rehetra?
13 Then shalt thou say to them, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, And the kings that sit upon David's throne, And the priests, and the prophets, And all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.
Dia holazainao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, hataoko leony ny mponina rehetra amin’ ity tany ity, dia ny mpanjaka, izay mipetraka amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ i Davida, sy ny mpisorona sy ny mpaminany ary ny mponina rehetra any Jerosalema.
14 And I will dash them one against another, Even fathers and children together, saith Jehovah; I will not pity, nor spare, Nor show mercy, so as not to destroy them.
Ary hampifamohiko izy, dia ny ray mbamin’ ny zanany, hoy Jehovah; Tsy hiantra Aho, na hitsitsy, na hamindra fo tsy handringana azy.
15 Hear ye, and attend! be not lifted up! For Jehovah speaketh.
Mandrenesa ka mihainoa, aza miavonavona; Fa Jehovah no miteny.
16 Give glory to Jehovah, your God, Before he bring darkness, And your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, And, while ye look for light, He turn it into deathlike shade, And make it gross darkness.
Manomeza voninahitra an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, dieny tsy mbola mahatonga ny maizina Izy, ary dieny tsy mbola tafintohina amin’ ny tendrombohitra maizimaizina ny tongotrareo, ka raha miandry ny mazava ianareo, dia hataony tonga ho aloky ny fahafatesana, ka hampodiny ho aizim-pito.
17 But if ye will not hear, I will mourn in secret places for your pride, I will weep continually, And my eyes shall run down with tears, Because the flock of Jehovah is carried away captive.
Fa raha tsy hihaino izany ianareo. Dia hitomany any amin’ ny mangingina ny fanahiko, satria misy fiavonavonana; Eny, ny masoko hamarin-dranomaso hijononoka be, satria voababo ny ondrin’ i Jehovah.
18 Say to the king and to the queen, Sit ye down upon the ground, For your beautiful crown shall fall from your heads.
Lazao amin’ ny andriamanjaka sy ny reniny hoe: Mitombena amin’ ny tany; Fa ho afaka ny firavaka eo an-dohanareo, dia ny satro-boninahitrareo tsara tarehy.
19 The cities of the South are shut up, and none openeth them; Judah is carried away captive, all of it, Every man of it is carried away captive.
Voarindrina ny tanàna any amin’ ny tany atsimo, ka tsy misy mamoha; Lasan-ko babo Joda, eny, lasan-ko babo avokoa izy rehetra.
20 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the North! Where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock?
Atopazy ny masonareo, ka tazano izay avy any avaratra; Aiza ny ondry andiany izay nomena anao, dia ny ondrinao tsara tarehy?
21 What wilt thou say when he shall punish thee? For thou thyself hast taught them to be lords over thee. Shall not sorrows seize thee, as a woman in travail?
Ahoana re no holazainao, raha tendreny hanapaka anao ireny sakaizanao ireny, fa ianao ihany no nampianatra azy handrafy anao? Tsy hahazo anao va ny fanaintainana toy ny vehivavy raha miteraka?
22 And if thou say in thine heart, “Wherefore are these things coming upon me?” For the greatness of thy iniquity are thy skirts uncovered, And thy heels made bare.
Ary raha manao anakampo ianao hoe: ahoana no nahatonga izao tamiko? Noho ny haben’ ny helokao no nampiaingana ny moron-tongotr’ akanjonao sy nandratrana ny ombelahin-tongotrao.
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, Or the leopard his spots? Then may ye also do good, Who have been accustomed to do evil.
Moa mahova ny hodiny va ny Etiopiana, ary ny leoparda va mahova ny sorany? Raha izany, dia mahazo manao tsara koa ianareo izay efa zatra nanao ratsy.
24 Therefore will I scatter you like stubble, Which passeth away before the wind of the desert.
Koa dia haeliko izy toy ny vodivary indaosin’ ny rivotra avy any an-efitra.
25 This is thy lot, The portion measured out for thee by me, saith Jehovah, Because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.
Izany no lokanao, dia anjara voarefy ho anao, hoy Jehovah, Satria nanadino Ahy ianao ka nitoky tamin’ ny lainga.
26 Therefore will I lift up thy skirts over thy head, So that thy shame shall be seen.
Ary Izaho kosa dia hampiainga ny moron-tongotr’ akanjonao ho eny amin’ ny tavanao, mba hisehoan’ ny henatrao.
27 Thine adulteries, thy neighings, The lewdness of thy whoredom on the hills, in the fields, All thy abominations, have I seen. Woe to thee, O Jerusalem! How long ere thou wilt become pure!
Ny fijangajanganao sy ny fanenonao, ny fahavetavetan’ ny fijejojejoanao any amin’ ny havoana any an-tsaha, eny, samy efa hitako avokoa ireo fahavetavetanao ireo. Lozanao, ry Jerosalema! Mandra-pahoviana no mbola tsy hetezanao hanadio ny tenanao?
