Jeremiah 3
1 It is said, if a man put away his wife, And she go from him, and become another man's, Shall he return to her again? Shall not that land be polluted? But thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; And shalt thou return to me, saith Jehovah?
Saontsieñe te, ie mitsey valy t’indaty naho mifanarak’ ama’e i rakembay, naho engae’ t’indaty ila’e, ho mete hao te himpolie’e i valoha’ey? Tsy haniva i taney hao? F’ihe nanao hakarapiloañe ami’ty mpikoko maro, mbore te himpoly amako! hoe t’Iehovà.
2 Lift up thine eyes to the high places, and see! Where hast thou not been defiled? In the ways hast thou sat waiting, As the Arabian in the desert, And hast polluted the land by thy lewdness and thy wickedness.
Ampiandrao mb’an-kaboañe liolio ey o fihaino’oo le mahaisaha: Aia irehe te tsy niolorañe? Nitoboke añ’olon-dalañe eo nitsinginiotse am’iareo, manahake ty Arabe am-babangoañe añe; vaho nandeora’o amy hatsimirira’o naho ami’ty haloloa’o i taney.
3 And although the showers have been withholden, And there hath been no latter rain, Yet thou hast had a harlot's forehead; Thou hast refused to be ashamed.
Toly ndra nahànkañe i orañey, naho tsy nahavy ora-mamaratse; toe nanao laharan-kalalijake irehe, mifoneñe tsy ho salatse.
4 Wilt thou not from this time cry to me, Thou art my father, Yea, the friend of my youth art thou?
Aa tsy nitoreova’o aniany ami’ty hoe: Ry Aba, Nirañeko irehe te izaho nitora’e.
5 Will he retain his anger forever? Will he keep it forevermore? Behold, thus dost thou speak, But thou doest evil with all thy might.
Ho tana’e nainai’e hao ty kabo’e? ifahara’e pak’an-kamodoañe añe hao? Inay ty saontsi’o, fe nitoloñe’o raha raty vaho i nipaia’oy avao ty norihe’o.
6 Jehovah said to me, in the time of King Josiah, Hast thou heard what rebellious Israel hath done? She hath gone upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.
Le hoe t’Iehovà amako tañ’andro Iosià, mpanjaka: Niisa’o hao i nanoe’ Israele mpidisa-voliy? Songa vinonje’e ze vohitse abo naho ambane’ ze hatae mandrevake, vaho nanao hakarapiloañe ao.
7 And I said, after she had done all these things, Return thou to me! But she returned not. And her faithless sister Judah saw it.
Le hoe iraho, Ie fonga nanoe’e, le himpoly amako; f’ie tsy nimpoly, vaho nahatrea izay ka t’Iehodà rahavave’e mpahay fañahy.
8 And I saw, when, for all the adulteries which rebellious Israel had committed, I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce, that her faithless sister Judah was not afraid, but went and played the harlot also herself.
Le nitreako te ndra t’ie tsineiko reke-takelam-pisarahañe ty amo fonga fañarapiloa’ Israele mpidisa-volio, le tsy nañembañe Iehodà, rahavave’e mpiolay izay; ie nimb’eo nañarapilo ka.
9 And when by the fame of her lewdness she had polluted the land, committing adultery with stone and wood,
Ty amy fitsihelatsihela’ i reñeley, fonga nileore’e i taney, vaho niolora’e ze hatae naho vato;
10 yet for all this did not her faithless sister Judah return to me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith Jehovah.
Ie amy zay, mboe tsy nimpoly amako ami’ty haliforan’arofo’e i rahavave’e Iehodà mpamañahiy fa an-kalitake avao, hoe t’Iehovà—
11 Then said Jehovah to me, Rebellious Israel is less guilty than faithless Judah.
Le hoe t’Iehovà amako, Niventè’ Israele mpidisa-voliy te mbe ambone’ Iehodà mpamañahiy ty havañona’e.
12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north: —Return, O rebellious Israel, saith Jehovah! I will not turn a frowning face upon you; For I am merciful, saith Jehovah, I retain not anger forever.
Akia, tseizo mañavaratse o tsara zao ami’ty hoe: Mimpolia ry Israele mpidisa-volio, hoe t’Iehovà; Tsy hibosehako, fa hitretrezako, hoe t’Iehovà, tsy ho tanako nainai’e ty farahiko.
13 Only acknowledge thine iniquity, That thou hast rebelled against Jehovah thy God, And hast roved about to strangers Under every green tree, And hast not obeyed my voice, saith Jehovah.
Iantofo avao o hakeo’oo, o nandilara’o am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’oo, ie naboele’o amy ze hene ambahiny ambane’ ze hatae mandrevake o sata’o, naho tsy nihaoñe’o ty feoko, hoe t’Iehovà.
14 Return, ye rebellious children! saith Jehovah; Though I have rejected you, Yet will I receive you again, One from a city, and two from a nation, And I will bring you to Zion.
Mimpolia ry anake mpidisa-volio, hoe t’Iehovà; fa Tañanjomba’areo iraho, naho hengaeko boak’an-drova ao ty raik’ ama’ areo, ty roe boak’ am-pifokoañ’ ao, vaho haseseko mb’e Tsione mb’eo;
15 And I will give you shepherds after my own heart, Who shall feed you with wisdom and discretion.
Le ho tolorako mpiarake milahatse ami’ty troko, hamahana’e hilala naho hihitse.
16 And when ye shall have multiplied and increased in the land, saith Jehovah, Then shall ye no more speak of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, Nor shall it come into your mind. None shall remember it; None shall care for it; It shall not be made any more.
Ho tondroke t’ie nanaranake vaho nanitsike i taney amo andro añeo, hoe t’Iehovà, te tsy hanao ty hoe ka iereo: Ty vatam-pañina’ Iehovà; tsy ho tendreke an-tsaiñe; tsy ho saontsieñe; tsy ho tiliheñe; vaho tsy hanoeñe ka.
17 For then shall Jerusalem be called the throne of Jehovah, And all the nations shall resort to it; They shall resort to Jehovah, to Jerusalem, And shall no more walk after the perverseness of their evil hearts.
Amy andro zay, hatao’ iareo ty hoe fiambesa’ Iehovà t’Ierosalaime; le kila fifeheañe ty hifanontone mb’amy tahina’ Iehovày mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo; vaho tsy hañaveloa’ iareo ka i fanjeharan-tron-kaloloañey.
18 In those days shall the house of Judah unite themselves with the house of Israel, And they shall come together from the north country, To the land which I caused your fathers to inherit.
Hiharo-lia ami’ty anjomba’ Israele ty anjomba’ Iehodà amy andro zay, vaho hindre lia boak’ an-tane avaratse añe pak’ amy tane natoloko an-droae’ areo ho lovay.
19 Then I said, how will I place thee among my children, And give thee a pleasant land, A goodly inheritance among the hosts of nations! And I said, Thou wilt call me thy father; Thou wilt not turn aside from following me.
Le hoe iraho: Akore t’ie havotrako amo anakoo, naho hatoloko tane soa, ty lova loho fanjaka amo fifeheañeo? Le ho tokave’oo ty hoe: Raeko, iraho, vaho tsy hivike ami’ty fañorihañe ahy.
20 Yet as a woman is faithless to her husband, So have ye been faithless to me, O house of Israel! saith Jehovah.
Toe manahake ty rakemba misita-baly am-pamañahiañe ty namañahia’o ahy, ry anjomba’ Israele! hoe t’Iehovà.
21 A voice is heard upon the hills, The weeping and supplications of the children of Israel! For they have perverted their way; They have forgotten Jehovah their God.
Inay ty fiarañanañañe boak’ an-kaboañe maliolio eñe, ty fangoihoia’ o ana’ Israele misolohoo, amy te nimengohe’ iereo ty lala’ iareoy, nandikofa’ iereo t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareo:
22 Return, O revolted children! I will heal your rebellion. Behold, we come to thee, For thou art Jehovah our God!
Mimpolia ry anake manjehatseo, le ho jangañeko ty fanjehara’ areo. Itoan-jahay mb’ama’o, amy te Ihe ro Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay.
23 Truly in vain from the hills, In vain from the mountains do we seek abundance; Only from Jehovah our God cometh salvation for Israel.
Toe sahàtse avao o vohitseo, o fifandragaragàñe an-kaboañeo. Toe am’ Iehovà Andrianañahe’ay ty fandrombahañe Israele.
24 For the things of shame have devoured the substance of our fathers from our youth, Their sheep and their oxen, Their sons and their daughters.
Fa nabea’ i hameñarañey mifototse ami’ty nahatora anay o raha nitoloñan-droae’aio, o lia-rai’eo, o mpirai-tro’eo, naho o ana-dahi’eo vaho o anak’ampela’eo.
25 We lie down in our shame, And our ignominy covereth us; For we have sinned against Jehovah our God, We and our fathers, from our youth even to this day, And have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah our God.
Antao hibabok’ an-keñatse, hisaron-tsalatse; fa nanao hakeo am’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika tika naho o raentikañeo, boak’ ami’ty naha-ajaja antika pake henane, vaho tsy norihentika ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika.
