Jeremiah 9
1 O that my head were waters, And mine eyes a fountain of tears, That I might weep day and night For the slain of the daughter of my people!
Enga anie ka ho rano ny lohako, ary ho loharanon-dranomaso ny masoko, mba hitomaniako andro aman’ alina noho ny voavono amin’ ny oloko zanakavavy!
2 O that I had a traveller's lodge in the wilderness, That I might leave my people, and go from them! For they are all adulterers; An assembly of revolters.
Enga anie ka hahita fitoerana any an-efitra aho tahaka ny fitoeran’ ny mpandeha! Dia hahafoy ny fireneko aho ka hiala aminy, satria mpijangajanga avokoa izy rehetra, eny, mpivadika miray tetika izy.
3 They bend their tongues, like their bows, for lies, And not by truth do they grow mighty in the earth; They proceed from wickedness to wickedness, And have no regard to me, saith Jehovah.
Manenjana ny lelany toy ny fanenjana tsipìka izy mba handefa lainga. Ary tsy araka ny marina no mahahery azy etỳ ambonin’ ny tany; Fa mandroso amin’ ny ratsy ka hatramin’ ny ratsy izy, ary Izaho tsy mba fantany, hoy Jehovah.
4 Be on your guard each one against his neighbor, And trust ye not in any brother; For every brother will supplant, And every neighbor will slander.
Samia miaro tena amin’ ny namany avy ianareo. Ary aza misy matoky olona na dia ny rahalahy aza; Fa ny rahalahy rehetra dia mamingana tokoa, ary ny namana rehetra mandehandeha manaratsy.
5 They deceive every one his neighbor, And do not speak the truth; They have accustomed their tongues to speak lies; They weary themselves in doing iniquity.
Izy rehetra samy mamitaka ny namany avy, ka tsy misy miteny marina; Mampianatra ny lelany handainga izy ary manasa-tena amin’ ny fanaovan-dratsy.
6 Thy habitation is in the midst of deceit, [[O prophet!]] Through deceit they refuse to know me, saith Jehovah.
Ny fonenanao dia ao anatin’ ny fitaka; Fitaka no nandavany tsy hahalalana Ahy, hoy Jehovah.
7 Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold I will melt them and try them; For what else can I do on account of the daughter of my people?
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Indro, handrendrika sy hizaha toetra azy Aho; Fa ahoana no hataoko noho ny amin’ ny oloko zanakavavy?
8 Their tongue is a deadly arrow; Every one of them speaketh treachery; With their mouth they speak peace to their neighbor, But in their heart they lay snares for him.
Zana-tsipìka mahafaty ny lelany ka miteny fitaka; Raha amin’ ny vavany, dia miteny fihavanana amin’ ny namany izy, kanjo ao anatiny kosa dia manao otri-po.
9 Shall I not punish them for these things? saith Jehovah; Shall I not be avenged on such a nation as this?
Tsy hovaliako va izy amin’ izany zavatra izany? hoy Jehovah, tsy hialako fo va ny firenena toy izany?
10 For the mountains will I lift up a weeping and wailing, And for the pastures of the plains a lamentation, For they are burned up, so that none can pass through them; No more is heard the voice of the cattle; Both the birds of the heavens and the beasts have fled, and are gone.
Noho ny amin’ ny tendrombohitra no hitomaniako sy hidradradrako, ary noho ny amin’ ny kijana any an-efitra no hanaovako hira fa halahelovana, satria may izy, ka tsy misy mandeha mamaky eo aminy, ary tsy misy fimàmàn’ omby re intsony, ary na ny voro-manidina na ny bibi-dia samy efa nandositra ka lasa avokoa.
11 I will make Jerusalem heaps of stones, The dwelling-place of jackals; And I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.
Ary Jerosalema dia hataoko korontam-bato sy fonenan’ ny amboadia; ary ny tanànan’ ny Joda hataoko lao tsy hisy mponina.
12 Who is the wise man, that he may understand this, And he to whom the mouth of the Lord hath spoken, that he may declare it? Why is it that the land perisheth, That it is burned up like a desert, which none passeth through?
Iza no olon-kendry mba hahafantatra izao, sady efa nitenenan’ ny vavan’ i Jehovah mba hanambara izao? Fa nahoana no noravana ny tany sady may ho toy ny efitra, ka tsy misy mandeha mamaky eo aminy?
13 Jehovah himself hath said: It is because they have forsaken my law, Which I set before them, And have not hearkened to my voice, Nor walked according to it;
Ary hoy Jehovah: satria nahafoy ny lalàko izay nataoko teo anoloany izy ka tsy nankato izany ary tsy nihaino ny feoko,
14 But have walked after the obstinacy of their own heart, And after the Baals, as their fathers taught them.
Fa nandeha araka ny ditry ny fony sy nanaraka ireo Bala araka izay nampianarin’ ny razany azy,
15 Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will feed this people with wormwood, And give them water of hemlock to drink.
Dia izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Indro, hofahanako zava-mahafaty ity firenena ity sy hampisotroiko rano mangidy;
16 I will also scatter them among nations Which neither they nor their fathers have known, And I will send after them the sword, Till I have made an end of them.
Ary haeliko any amin’ izay jentilisa tsy fantany na fantatry ny razany izy; Ary hampanenjehiko azy ny sabatra ambara-pandaniko azy.
17 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come, And send to the skilful ones, that they may come;
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah. Tompon’ ny maro: Mihevera tsara, ka antsoy ireny vehivavy mpanao hira fahalahelovana mba ho avy; Eny, ampanalao ireny vehivavy mahay mba ho tonga;
18 Let them make haste, and lift up a wailing for us, That our eyes may run down with tears, And our eyelids gush forth with waters.
Ary asaovy haingana ireny hanandratra fidradradradrana ho antsika, mba hampijojy ny ranomasontsika sy hampivarina ny ranomaso avy amin’ ny hodimasontsika.
19 Behold, a voice of wailing is heard from Zion: “How are we spoiled! How are we put to shame! We must leave our native land; They have cast down our habitations.”
Fa misy feo midradradradra re any Ziona hoe: Indrisy! rava isika; Afa-baraka indrindra isika, satria tsy maintsy mamoy ny tany, fa efa narodana ny trano nitoerantsika.
20 Hear, O ye women, the word of Jehovah! Let your ear receive the word of his mouth! Teach your daughters a lamentation, And every one her companion a mournful dirge!
Nefa mihainoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah, ianareo vehivavy, ary aoka hohenoin’ ny sofinareo ny tenin’ ny vavany, ka ampianaro fidradradradrana ny zanakavavinareo, ary samia mampianatra hira fahalahelovana ny namany avy.
21 For death cometh in through our windows, It entereth our palaces; It cutteth off the children from the street, And the young men from the public places.
Fa ny fahafatesana efa nananika ny varavarankelintsika ka niditra tao an-dapantsika, mba handringana ny ankizy madinika tsy ho eny an-dalambe sy ny zatovo tsy ho eny an-kalalahana.
22 Declare it, saith Jehovah! The dead bodies of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, And as the handful behind the reaper, Which none gathereth up.
Ataovy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Hiampatrampatra ny fatin’ ny olona ka ho tonga tahaka ny zezika eny an-tsaha sy tahaka ny amboara nilaozan’ ny mpijinja, Izay tsy misy manangona azy.
23 Thus saith Jehovah: Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Nor let the mighty glory in his might, Nor let the rich glory in his riches!
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Aoka ny hendry tsy hirehareha amin’ ny fahendreny, ary aoka ny mahery tsy hirehareha amin’ ny heriny, ary aoka ny manan-karena tsy hirehareha amin’ ny hareny;
24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, That he hath regard to me, and knoweth me, That I am Jehovah, who exercise loving-kindness, Justice, and righteousness upon the earth; For in these do I delight, saith Jehovah.
Fa izay te-hirehareha dia aoka hirehareha amin’ izao: Dia ny fahendreny sy ny fahalalany Ahy ho Jehovah, Izay manao famindram-po sy fitsarana marina ary fahamarinana etỳ ambonin’ ny tany; fa izany no sitrako, hoy Jehovah.
25 Behold the days come, saith Jehovah, That I will punish all the circumcised with the uncircumcised,
Indro, avy ny andro, hoy Jehovah, izay hamaliako ny voafora rehetra mbamin’ ny tsy voafora koa,
26 Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, And the sons of Ammon and Moab, And all with shaven cheeks, that dwell in the wilderness. For all the nations are uncircumcised, And all the house of Israel is uncircumcised in heart.
Dia Egypta sy Joda sy Edoma sy ny taranak’ i Amona ary Moaba mbamin’ izay rehetra voahety sisim-bolo, izay monina any an-efitra; Fa ny jentilisa rehetra dia tsy voafora, ary ny taranak’ Isiraely rehetra kosa dia tsy voafora fo.
