Jeremiah 2
1 And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying;
Le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe:
2 Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem saying—Thus saith Yahweh, I remember in thy behalf, the lovingkindness of thy youthful days, The love of thy bridal estate, —Thy coming out after me, Through the desert, Through a land, not sown:
Akia mikoiha an-dravembia’ Ierosalaime ao ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà: tiahiko ty hatea’ i hatora’oy, ty fikokoa’o, ihe nienga-vao; i fireketa’o amako an-dratraratray an-tane mboe tsy nitongisañe añe.
3 Holiness, was Israel unto Yahweh, The first-fruit of his increase, —All that devoured it, were held guilty, Calamity used to come upon them, —Declareth Yahweh.
Niavake am’ Iehovà t’Israele, ty lohavoan-kavokara’e; hanan-kakeo ze mampibotseke ama’e, hankàñe ty hizò iareo, hoe t’Iehovà.
4 Hear ye the word of Yahweh O house of Jacob, And all the families of the house of Israel.
Mijanjiña ty tsara’ Iehovà, ry anjomba’ Iakobe, naho ry hene fifokoan’anjomba’ Israele;
5 Thus, saith Yahweh, —What did your fathers find in me by way of perversity, that they removed far from me, —and went after vanity, and became vain?
Hoe t’Iehovà: Ino ty tsi-havañonañe nizoe’ o roae’ areoo amako, kanao nihankaña’e, naho nañorike ty tsy jefa’e, vaho nifotsake ho kafoake?
6 Neither said they, Where is Yahweh, Who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, —Who led us Through the desert, Through a land of wastes and clefts, Through a land of parched places and of death-shade, Through a land, Along which no man had passed, And in which no son of earth dwelt?
Mbore tsy nanao ty hoe iereo: Aia t’Iehovà nanese antika niakatse an-tane Mitsraime, niranga i fatram-beiy, i tanen-diolio naho koboñey, i tanem-paosa an-talinjon-kavilasiy, tane mb’e lia’e tsy nitsahe ‘ondaty, vaho tsy fimoneña’ ty ana’ ondaty.
7 Then brought I you into a country of garden land, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof, —and yet when ye entered, then defiled ye my land, and mine inheritance, ye made an abomination
Nendesako mb’an-tane mamokatse, hikama’ areo ty hasoa’e; fa ie nizilik’ ao te mone tiniva’ areo i tanekoy, vaho vineta’ areo i lovakoy.
8 The priests, said not Where is Yahweh? And, they who handled the law, did not acknowledge me, And the shepherds transgressed against me, —And the prophets, prophesied by Baal, And so after things that could not profit, did they walk.
Tsy nanao ty hoe o mpisoroñeo: Aia t’Iehovà? Namoea’ o mpamandroñe Hàke iabio iraho, nandilatse ahy o mpiarakeo, nitoky añamy Baale o mpitokio, vaho nañorike raha tsy vara.
9 Therefore yet further will I plead with you Declareth Yahweh, Yea with your children’s children, will I plead.
Aa le hiatreatreako, hoe t’Iehovà, vaho hatreatrèko o anan’ana’ areoo.
10 For—pass through the coastlands of the West and see, And unto Kedar, send ye and consider diligently, —And see—whether there hath been the like of this!
Mitsahà mb’an-tokonosen’ te-Kitìmeo añe naho mandrendreha naho ampañitrifo mb’e Kedare mb’eo vaho mitsoeha, hera ho oni’ areo te fa teo, o hoe zao:
11 Hath a nation, changed gods, although they were No-gods? Yet my people have changed my glory for that which could not profit!
Tane aia ty nañova o ‘ndrahare’eo, ie toe ‘ndrahare tsie avao? fe nasolo’ ondatiko raha tsy manjofake ty enge’ iareo.
12 Be amazed, O ye heavens, at this, —And shudder, be dried up utterly, Urgeth Yahweh.
Ilatsao ry likerañeo, minevenevèra naho mijehàra, hoe t’Iehovà.
13 For two wicked things, have my people committed, —Me, have they forsaken a fountain of living water, To hew out for themselves cisterns broken cisterns, that cannot hold water.
Nanao hakeo roe ondatikoo: Nifarie’ iareo iraho, i Rano Veloñe migoangoañey, hihalia’iareo kadaha, kadaha señake tsy mahatan-drano.
14 Was Israel a servant? Born in the house, was he? Wherefore hath he become a prey?
Ondevo hao t’Israele? Fetrek’oro hao? Aa le ino ty idohirañ’ aze?
15 Against him, have been roaring wild lions, They have uttered their voice, —and have made his land a desolation, His cities, have been burned, so as to have no inhabitant.
Fa nitroñe ama’e o liona tora’eo, nipoña-peo hampangoakoak’ i tane’ey, kòake iaby o rova’eo, tsy amam-pimoneñe.
16 Even the sons of Noph and Tahpanhes have been crushing the crown of the head.
Hinara’ o ana’ i Nofe naho i Tak’penkeseo ty hevo’o.
17 Is not this what thou wast certain to do for thyself, —in that thou didst forsake Yahweh thy God, when he was leading thee by the way?
Tsy zao hao ty tali’ i raha zay, te naforintse’o t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, i niaolo azo amy lalañeiy.
18 Now, therefore what hast thou to do with the way to Egypt, to drink the waters of Shihor? Or what hast thou to do with the way to Assyria, to drink the waters of the River ["Euphrates"]?
Ino mb’arè ty atao’o an-dalam-b’e Mitsraime añe, hitohoke ty ranon-tSikore hao? Ino ka ty hanoe’o an-dalañe mb’e Asore mb’eo, he hitrinike i ranon-tSàkay hao?
19 Let thy wickedness correct thee And thine apostasies, rebuke thee, Know therefore and see That it is a wicked thing and a bitter, that thou shouldest have forsaken Yahweh thy God, And that the dread of me should not have pertained to thee, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh of hosts.
Ty halò-tsere’o avao ty hitrevok’ azo, naho hañendak’ azo ty fidisa-voli’o; mahaoniña arè, vaho mahaisaha te raha raty naho mafaitse ty fitsambolitio’o an’ Andrianañahare’o, naho te tsy ama’o ty fañeveñañe Amako, hoe t’i Talè, Iehovà’ i Màroy.
20 For, in age-past time, I brake thy yoke, I tare off thy fetters, And thou saidst, I will not transgress, —Nevertheless, on every high hill, and under every green tree, wast thou lying down as an unchaste woman.
Fa pinozako haehae ty joka’o, rinafadrafako o vahotseo, le hoe irehe: Tsy ho toroñeko, te mone nandrea’o vaho nanao hakarapiloañe ambone’ ze hene haboañe naho ambane’ ze fonga hatae mandrevake
21 Yet, I, planted thee a precious vine, a wholly true seed, —How then didst thou change thyself towards me, into the degenerate plantings of the alien vine?
Ie naketsako am-bahem-panjàka, toe am-boa’e soa do’e; inom-barè ty nifotera’o ho hatae tsy jefa’e, ho vahe alik’amako?
22 For though thou wash thee with nitre, And take thee much soap, Yet is thine iniquity inscribed before me Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
Aa ndra te ihe mikitroñe an-kilìny, vaho milipotse an-tsavony ao, mboe komatrao amako o tahi’oo, hoe t’i Talè, Iehovà.
23 How canst thou say, I have not defiled myself, After the Baalim, have I not gone? See thy way, in the valley, Own what thou hast done, —A nimble young she-camel, crossing her own ways;
Aa vaho ino ty atao’o ty hoe: Tsy aman-kila iraho, izaho tsy nihitrike mb’amo Baaleo? Isao ty sata’o am-bavatane ao, mahafohina o anoe’oo; kiloan-drameva malisa irehe, manivalativala o lala’eo;
24 A wild ass, taught of the desert, In the desire of her soul, she snuffeth the wind, In her occasion, who can turn her back? None who seek her, will weary themselves, In her month, they shall find her!
tamanam-birike lý zatse am-patrañe ao, mañantson-tioke am-pañirian-tro’e, ia ty mahafikalañe i fitongoña’ey? Tsy ho mokotse ty mipay aze, ho oni’ iareo amy fivola’ey.
25 Withhold thy foot from being unshod, And thy throat from thirst! But thou saidst Hopeless! No! for I love foreigners and after them, will I go.
Tano o fandia’oo tsy ho afa-kana, ty tretra’o tsy haran-drano; fe hoe irehe: Tsy aman-ko tamaeñe, Aiy! amy te nikoko ambahiny iraho, le tsy mete tsy heañeko.
26 As the shame of a thief when he is found, So, hath been put to shame, the house of Israel, —They, their kings their princes, and their priests and their prophets:
Hambañe ami’ty hasalara’ ty mpikizo, ie tendreke, ty hameñara’ ty anjomba’ Israele: ie naho o mpanjaka’eo, o roandria’eo, o mpisoro’eo, vaho o mpitoki’eo.
27 Saying, to a tree, My father, art thou! And to a stone, Thou, didst give us birth, For they have turned unto me the back and not the face, —But in the time of their calamity, they will say, Arise, and save us!
Ie manao ami’ty hatae ty hoe: Raeko irehe, naho ami’ty vato: Ihe ty niterak’ ahy, toe nampiatre-boho amako iereo fa tsy ty laharañe; fe an-tsa maha am-poheke ro hanoa’iareo ty hoe: Miongaha, rombaho zahay.
28 Where then are thy gods which thou hast made for thyself? Let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy calamity, —For according to the number of thy cities, have become thy gods O Judah.
Aia heike o ‘ndrahare tsinene’o ho azoo? Angao hiongake iereo, naho mete handrombak’ azo an-tsan-kankà’o ao; fa mira ami’ty hamaro’ o rova’oo ty ndrahare’o, ry Iehodà.
29 Wherefore, should ye plead against me, All of you, have transgressed against me Declareth Yahweh.
Akore t’ie miatreatre ahiko? Ie fonga nanao hakeo amako, hoe t’Iehovà.
30 In vain, have I smitten your children, Correction, have they not accepted, —Your sword hath devoured your prophets, as a lion that destroyeth.
Tsy jefa’e ty nandafàko o ana’ areoo, ie tsy mete avohotse; toe nabotsem-pibara’ areo o mpitoki’areoo, hoe namotsahan-diona.
31 O generation see, ye, the word of Yahweh, A desert, became I unto Israel? Or a land of thick darkness? Wherefore, have my people said, We have roved about, We will not come in any more unto thee?
Ry tariratseo, inao ty tsara’ Iehovà: Nifatram-bey am’ Israele hao iraho? ndra tane migobon-kaiem-bey? Ino ty atao’ ondatikoo ty hoe: Votsotse zahay; tsy homb’ama’o ka?
32 Can, a virgin, forget, her ornaments, —A bride, her girdle? Yet, my people, have forgotten me, days without number.
Handikofa’ ty somondrara hao o rava’eo, ndra ty enga-vao o saro’eo? Fe haliño’ ondatikoo andro tsy fotofoto iraho.
33 How thou dost make winsome thy way, to seek love! Therefore, even unto wicked women, hast thou taught thy ways.
Ino ty ihamina’o ty lalam-pipaia’o koko? Toe nanare’o amo sata-rati’oo ka o kalalijakeo.
34 Even in thy skirts, is there found, The blood of the lives of the helpless innocents, —Not in the act of breaking in, didst thou find them, yet [the blood is] on all these.
Mbore oniñe an-jipo’o ao ty liom-piai’ o rarake vañoñeo; tsy nirendre’o t’ie niboroboñake ama’o; ie amy hoe rezay
35 Although thou saidst, Because I am innocent, surely hath his anger turned back from me, —Behold me! entering into judgment with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned!
manao ty hoe: Izaho tsy aman-kakeo; fa mitolik’ amako ty haviñera’e— ingo mikai-jaka amako irehe ami’ty atao’o ty hoe: Tsy aman-tahin-draho.
36 How vigorously, thou goest about changing thy way! Even of Egypt, shalt thou be ashamed, just as thou wast ashamed of Assyria:
Ie mikanifokanifoke avao ami’ty fiovà’o lalañe; Toe ho salare’ i Mitsraime ka manahake ty hameñara’o amy Asore.
37 Even from this one, shalt thou go forth, with thy hands upon thy head, —For Yahweh hath rejected those in whom thou confidest, and thou shalt not prosper with them.
Boak’ atoy ty hiakara’o, taña-mitan-doha; fa napo’ Iehovà o niatoa’oo, vaho tsy hiraorao am’ iereo irehe.
