Jeremiah 15
1 Then Yahweh said [this] to me: “Even if Moses and Samuel could [come back from their graves and] and stand in front of me [and plead with me for these Israeli people], I would not act mercifully [IDM] toward these people. [I would tell you], ‘Send them away from me. Cause them to leave me!’
Le hoe t’Iehovà amako: Ndra te nijohañe añatrefako eo t’i Mosè naho i Samoele, tsy ho nitolike mb’am’ondaty retoa ty troko soiho añe iereo tsy ho treako, aseseo añe.
2 And if they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’, tell them, ‘This is what Yahweh says: The ones that I say must die, will die: The ones that I say must die in wars [MTY], will die in wars. The ones that I say must die from hunger, will die from hunger. The ones that I say must be captured [and taken to other countries], will be captured [and taken to other countries].
Ie amy zao, naho isaontsia’ iareo, ty hoe: Homb’aia zahay? le hanoa’o ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà: O havetrakeo mb’am-pivetrahañe, O ho amy fibaraio, mb’amy fibaray, O hampisalikoeñeo le mb’amy mosarey, O ho an-drohio, le mb’am-pandrohizañ’ añe.
3 I will send four things that will get rid of them: I will send [enemy soldiers using] swords to kill them. I will send wild dogs to drag away [their corpses]. I will send vultures to eat [their corpses]. And I will send [other] wild animals to eat what remains [of their corpses].
Efatse ty hafantoko am’ iareo: hoe t’Iehovà hanjevoñe ty fibara naho hirepake ty amboa naho hampibotseke naho hamongotse o voron-dikerañeo naho o bibi’ ty tane toio.
4 Because of [the wicked things that] King Manasseh did in Jerusalem, I will cause [people in] all the kingdoms of the earth to be horrified about [what will happen in Judah to] my people.
Le hanoeko fangebahebahañe amy ze fifehea’ ty tane toio, ty amy Menasè, ana’ Iekizkia mpanjaka’ Iehodà, o nanoe’e e Ierosalaimeo.
5 You [people of], no one will [RHQ] feel sorry for you. No one will [RHQ] weep/cry for you. No one will [RHQ] ask (how you are/if you are well).
Ia ty hiferenaiñ’ azo ry Ierosalaime? Ia ty handal’ azo? Ia ty hivike hañontane ty fanintsiña’o?
6 You people have abandoned me; you have continued to walk away [from me] [DOU]. So, I will lift up my fist to smash you; I will not act mercifully toward you any longer.
Fa nifarie’o iraho, hoe t’Iehovà, toe nidisa-voly; izay ty añitiako ama’o ty tañako, handrotsahako; mahamokotse ahy ty miheve.
7 At the gates of your cities, I will [scatter you like a farmer scatters the chaff from his grain by] (winnowing it/throwing it up to allow the wind to blow the chaff away) [MET]. You, my people, have refused to turn away from your evil behavior. [So], I will get rid of you, and I will even cause your children to be killed.
Itsongako an-tsikelo an-dalambei’ i taney; ampandalàko anake, vaho ho mongoreko ondatikoo amy te tsy ambohoa’e o sata’eo.
8 I will cause there to be more widows [in Judah] than [there are grains of] sand on the seashore [HYP]. At noontime, [when people will not be expecting it to happen], I will cause [an enemy army] to attack you, an army that will destroy your young men and cause their mothers to weep. I will cause you to suddenly experience great suffering/pain and become very terrified.
Ho maro te amo fasen-driakeo o ramavoi’iareoo aoloko eo; afetsako am’iereo, ami’ty renen’ ajalahy ty mpampianto an-tsipinde mena; hivovò ama’e ty fihepakepahañe naho ty firevendreveñañe.
9 A woman who has seven children will become faint and (gasp for breath/be hardly able to breathe); [it will be as though] daylight will become darkness for her, [because most of] her children will be dead, and she will be disgraced and humiliated [DOU]. And her children who are still alive, I will enable your enemies to kill them. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.’”
Miforejeje ty nisamake fito; midegañe ty fiai’e; fa nimotake i andro’ey t’ie mb’e nandia-loha, meñatse re naho salatse; vaho haseseko ami’ty fibara ty sehanga’e añatrefa’ o rafelahi’ iareoo, hoe t’Iehovà.
10 [I said to] my mother, “I am very sad; I wish that you had not given birth to me; everyone in this land opposes me and quarrels with me. I am not a person who lends [money to people and threatens to sue/harm them if they do not pay me back when they should], and I am not a person who borrows [money from others and then refuses to pay it back], but everyone [HYP] curses me.”
Feh’ohatse amako ry reneko, te nahatoly ahy h’ondaty trabiheñe, mpampitrobo i tane iabiy! tsy nampisongo iraho, tsy misongo; fe fonga mamàtse ahy.
11 But Yahweh replied to me, “[Jeremiah], I will take care of you. And at times when your enemies have troubles and disasters, they will [come to you and] plead for you [to help them].”
Hoe t’Iehovà: havotsoko ho an-kasoa irehe; hampihalalieko ama’o ty rafelahy an-tsan-kankàñe naho añ’andron-kasotriañe.
12 [Yahweh also told me to say to the people] of Judah, “Your enemies, who are [as strong as] iron or bronze, [will attack you] from the north; no one will be able to stop them.
Mahafolake ty viñe boak’ avaratse hao ty viñe naho ty torisìke?
13 I will give all the valuable possessions [of the people of Judah] to their enemies, without them paying for it. Their valuable possessions will be the payment/reward [that I will give them] because of all the sins that you have committed throughout your country.
Hatoloko ho fikopahañe tsy amam-bili’e ty vara naho fanaña’o, pak’ añ’efe’o iaby ty amo hene’ tahi’oo.
14 I will tell your enemies to force you to become their prisoners, and to take you to other lands that you do not [even] know about, and force you to become their slaves. [That will happen] because I am extremely angry [with you]; my being angry is [like] [SIM] a fire that will burn forever.”
Le hampaneseko o rafelahi’oo mb’ an-tane tsy fohi’o; fa niviañeñe an-doak-oroko ao ty afo hisolebats’ ama’o.
15 [Then I said], “Yahweh, you know [what is happening to me]. [Please] come and (help me/take care of me). Punish those who are (persecuting me/causing me to suffer). [Please] do not continue to be patient with them and do not allow me to die now. It is (for your sake/because I serve you) that I am suffering.
Ihe ry Iehovà ro maharofoanañe, tiahio iraho vaho aereñereo, vaho valeo o mpanao sarerak’ ahio; ko asese’o mb’eo ty amy fiferenaiña’oy; mahaoniña te Ihe ro nahafeahako inje.
16 Yahweh my God, you are the Commander of the armies of angels; and when you spoke to me, I was delighted with your message; it caused me to be joyful, and I eagerly accepted [MET] what you said because I belong to you. [IDM, MTY]
Nitendreke o tsara’oo vaho nihaneko; le nahafale ahiko toe naharebeke ty troko o tsara’oo; amy te nitokaveñe ami’ty tahina’o, ry Iehovà Andrianañahare’ i màroy.
17 When the people were carousing together, I never joined them; I sat alone, because you [MTY] are the one who controls what I do. I was very angry [with those people because of their sins].
Tsy nitobohako i fivorim-pitohàkey, tsy nirañaraña an-kobaiñe, fa mitobok’ am-bangiñe ao ty amy fità’oy; ie nilifore’o hatorifihañe.
18 So, (why do you [allow] me to continue to suffer?/I do not understand why you allow me to continue to suffer.) [RHQ] It seems that [RHQ] my wounds cannot be healed. [Sometimes you help me, sometimes you do not help me]. It seems that you are as undependable as a brook that has water in it only during certain seasons; you are like a spring that has dried up.”
Akore te silofeñe nainai’e o rarekoo, ie tsy mitsaitsaike o ferekoo, tsy mete ho melañe? Hanao torahañe mamitak’ amako hao irehe, hoe rano misike?
19 Then Yahweh [replied], “If you begin again to [trust in] me, I will restore you, in order that you can continue to serve me. If you proclaim good/valuable messages and not worthless ones, you will continue to be the one who speaks what I tell you to say. You must cause the people to pay attention to what you say; you must not pay attention to what they say.
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà: Naho himpoly irehe, le ampibaliheko indraike, hijohaña’o añatrefako eo; aa naho akare’o ami’ty kafoake ty vente’e, le ho sorotàko; adono hitoliha’ iareo, fa ko itoliha’o.
20 They will fight against you, but I will protect you, like [SIM] people are protected from their enemies by a bronze wall. They will not defeat you, because I will be with you, and I will protect and rescue [DOU] you.
Le hanoeko kijoly torisìke am’ondaty retoa; hialy ama’o iereo, fa tsy hahagioke, Ho ama’o iraho handrombak’ azo naho hañaha azo, hoe t’Iehovà.
21 [Truly], I will keep you safe from those wicked people, I will rescue you when you are seized by cruel people. [That will happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
Havotsoko am-pità’ o lo-tserekeo, naho ho jebañeko an-dela-pità’ ty mampangebahebake.
