Jeremiah 48
1 This is a message about Moab. The Commander of the armies of angels said: “Terrible things will happen to Nebo [town]; it will [soon] be ruined. Kiriathaim [city] will be captured and [all its people will be] humiliated; the high wall around their city will be ruined, and [its people] will become ashamed.
Ty amy Moabe, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, t’i Andrianañahare’ Israele: hankàñe amy Nebo! fa peake, nisalareñe t’i Kiriataime fa tsinepake; nimeñareñe ty Misgabe vaho mioremeñe.
2 No one will boast about Moab again; the [enemies of Moab] will plan to destroy [the capital city, ] Heshbon. [They will say, ] ‘Come, let’s cause Moab to no longer be a nation.’ You people in Madmen [town], you also will be silenced; enemy armies [MTY] will pursue you.
Tsy eo ka ty enge’ i Moabe; nikinia raty aze o e Kesboneo: Antao hampipitsok’aze tsy ho fifeheañe, hampitsiñeñe ka irehe, Medmene, hañoridañ’azo i fibaray.
3 Listen to the people of Horonaim [town] screaming; [they will be wailing because their town will have been] devastated and destroyed [DOU].
Inao ty koike boak’e Koronaime fikopahañe naho fandrotsaham-bey.
4 [All of] Moab will be ruined; [even] the little children will cry [loudly].
Rotsake t’i Moabe, nipoñafe’ o keleia’eo ty koiake.
5 They will cry bitterly as they climb up Luhith [Hill]. [Others will wail] on the road down to Horonaim, being very sad because of [their town being] destroyed.
Hitolom-pirovetse iereo te hanganike ty fitroara’ i Lokote ami’ty fizotsoa’ i Koronaime ty nahajanjiña’ iareo ty fikaiham-pandrotsahañe.
6 [Someone will say to them], ‘Flee! Hide in the desert!’
Mitribaha, handrombaha’ areo fiaiñe, mihambaña ami’ty kile an-dratraratra añe.
7 But you trusted that because you were rich and powerful, [you would be safe]; so you will be captured. [The statue of your god] Chemosh and all his priests and officials will be taken away to distant lands.
Ho tsepaheñe ka nahareo ami’ty fiatoa’ areo amo tolon-draha’ areoo, naho amo vara’ areoo; hasese am-pandrohizañe añe ty Kemise, o mpisoro’eo rekets’ o roandria’eo.
8 All the towns [in Moab] will be destroyed; none of them will escape. [Towns in] the valleys and on the plateau will [all] be destroyed, because [I, ] Yahweh, have said that is what will happen.
Songa hiambotraha’ i mpitavañey o rovao, ndra rova raike tsy hahavoratsake; ho momoke i vavataney, hampiantoeñe i montoñey, ami’ty saontsi’ Iehovà.
9 Spread salt on the ground in order that it will become a wasteland with [nothing growing there any more], and no one will be living in it!”
Toloro elatse t’i Moabe, hiborifita’e, fa hampangoakoaheñe o rova’eo, ie tsy ho amam-pimoneñe.
10 Yahweh will curse anyone who will not eagerly do what he desires, anyone who refrains from using his sword to kill [MTY] others [in Moab].
Hozoñeñe t’indaty mitoloñe ho a’ Iehovà am-pitañe milesa, hafàtse ty mitañe i fibara’ey tsy ho aman-dio.
11 [The people of] Moab have always felt secure; they have never been (exiled/forced [by their enemies] to go to other countries). They are like [MET] wine that has been left undisturbed [in a container for many days to give it good flavor], so now it smells good, and it tastes good.
Fa nierañerañe sikal’ am-pahajalahy aze t’i Moabe, naho fa nitadrètse amo karafo’eo, tsy nañiliñañe an-jonjoñ’an-jonjoñe, vaho le lia’e tsy nasese am-pandrohizañe añe; aa le mbe ama’e ty hafira’e, vaho tsy niova ty harifondrifo’e.
12 But Yahweh says that there will be a time when he will send [enemies to attack them]; they will get rid of the people of Moab like people pour out wine [on the ground] and then smash the wine jar.
Aa le, ingo ho tondroke ty andro, hoe t’Iehovà, te hampañitrifeko ama’e ty mpañiliñe, ze hañiliñe aze; ho fonga kapaihe’ iareo o fitovi’eo, vaho ho foie’ iereo o zonjò’eo.
13 Then [the people of] Moab will be ashamed of [their god/idol] Chemosh [because it did not help them], like the Israeli people were ashamed because their gold statue of a calf [was smashed] at Bethel.
Ho salatse amy Kemose t’i Moabe, manahake ty nisalara’ Israele amy Betele fatokisa’ iareoy.
14 [The soldiers of Moab previously] said, “We are warriors; we have fought bravely in battles!”
Akore te anoe’ areo ty hoe: Ondaty maozatse zahay, fanalolahy añ’aly’?
15 But now our King, who is Yahweh, who is called ‘the Commander of the armies of angels’, says that [the country of] Moab and all the towns in it will be destroyed. Their fine young men will [all] be slaughtered.
Mianto t’i Moabe, fa nionjoñe mb’amo rova’eo, fa nizotso mb’am-pizamanam-b’eo o ajalahy jinobo’eo, hoe t’i Mpanjaka, Iehovà’ i Màroy ty tahina’e.
16 Moab will very soon be destroyed. It will soon experience disaster.
Fa antitotse ty hekoheko’ i Moabe, malisa i feh-oha’ey.
17 You [people who live in nations] near Moab, who know that it is very famous, should mourn for Moab, and say, “Its glorious power [MTY, DOU] is [completely] ended/broken.”
Mandalà aze ry mañohok’ azeo, ano ty hoe ama’e ry mahafohiñe i tahina’ey: Akore te pinozake i kobaiñe maozatsey, i doda fanjakay.
18 You people of Dibon [city], stop being proud because of being honored, and sit in the dust/dirt, because those who will destroy other places in Moab will attack your [city] and destroy your high walls.
O ry anak’ampela mimoneñe e Dibone ao, mizotsoa amo enge’oo, mitoboha an-kataliñiera’o eo, fa nionjomb’ama’o mb’eo ty mampikoromake i Moabe, fa songa narotsa’e o rova’o fatratseo.
19 You people of Aroer [town], stand along the road and watch. Shout to the men and women who will be fleeing [from Moab], “What has happened [there]?”
O ry mpimone’ i Arore, mijohaña amy lalañey, vaho mijilova; añontaneo i mioratsey, ty hoe: Inom-bao o nifetsakeo?
20 [They will reply], “Moab is ruined and [we are] disgraced!” [So] weep and wail [DOU]. Proclaim at the Aroer [River] that Moab has been destroyed.
Nisalareñe t’i Moabe, le mioremeñe; mangololoiha vaho mikoiha; tseizo e Arnone ao te mianto t’i Moabe.
21 [Yahweh] will have punished [the towns in Moab that are on] the (plateau/high level): Holon and Jahaz and Mephaath,
Fa niambotraha’ ty zaka o tane amontoñeo, t’i Kolone, Iatsà, vaho i Mefaate,
22 Dibon and Nebo and Beth-Diblathaim,
Le i Dibone, i Nebo, naho i Bet’diblataime.
23 Kiriathaim and Beth-Gamul and Beth-Meon,
Le i Kiriataime naho i Bet’gamole vaho i Bet’meone.
24 Kerioth and Bozrah, cities that are near [each other] and towns that are far away [from each other].
Le i Keriote naho i Botsrà vaho o hene rova an-tane’ i Moabeo, o lavitseo naho o marìneo.
25 Yahweh says, “The power [MTY] of Moab will be ended; [it is as though] [MET] Moab will have a broken arm.
Fa nipitsok’ añe ty tsifa’ i Moabe, pinozake i sira’ey, hoe t’Iehovà.
26 [You people of] Moab have rebelled against [me, ] Yahweh; so [now] I will cause you all to [stagger like] [SIM] drunken people. [You people of] will wallow in your own vomit and be ridiculed.
Ampimamò, amy te nampiebore’e am’ Iehovà ty vata’e; fa hitorokosek’ amy loa’ey t’i Moabe, vaho ho rabioñeñe.
27 You [people of Moab] ridiculed [the people of] Israel [RHQ]. You treated them as though they were thieves [RHQ]. You shook your head at them scornfully and despised them [RHQ].
Aa tsy nandrabioña’o hao t’Israele? Nizoeñe amo malasoo hao? amy te mikofi-doha ama’e irehe ndra ‘mbiambia isaontsia’o.
28 You people who live in Moab, you should abandon your towns and go and live in caves. Be like [SIM] doves that make their nests in the entrances of caves.”
O ry mpimoneñe e Moabe ao, Miavota amo rovao naho mimoneña an-tseran-kereretsake ao, vaho mihambaña ami’ty deho manao traño añ’ilam-bava’ i koboñey.
29 We have [all] heard that [the people of] are very proud; they are extremely proud and conceited/arrogant. [IDM, DOU]
Fa jinanji’ay ty firengevoha’ i Moabey; toe mpitoabotse, amy fibohaboha’ey, naho ty fiengeña’e vaho ty fitrotroabohan’arofo’e.
30 But Yahweh says, “I know about that, but it is useless for them to boast [because] it will accomplish nothing.
Haiko o habose’eo, hoe t’Iehovà, t’ie kafoake, tsy naha-pi-draha o fikoiboha’eo.
31 So [now] I will wail for Moab; I will cry about all its people. I will moan for the men of Kir-Hareseth [city], [the old capital of Moab].
Aa le hangoihoiako ty Moabe; eka hikoiako ty halifora’ i Moabe; hihontofa’ ty troko o nte-Kir’kereseo.
32 You people of Sibmah [city], you have many vineyards. [It is as though] the branches of your vines extend across the [Dead] Sea to Jazer [city].
Mandikoatse ty firoveta’ Iazere ty hitañiako azo, ry vahe’ i Sibmà; nikazazake nahafitsake i riakey o tsampa’oo, nitakare’ iareo ty ria’ Iazere; amo voa’ o asarao, naho amo vahe’oo ty niambotraha’ i mpandrotsakey.
33 But no one will be joyful or happy in Moab now; your fruit and grapes that ripen in the (summer/hot season) will soon be destroyed. There will be no grape juice coming from the winepresses, [so] there will be no wine. People will not shout joyfully as they tread on the grapes; people will shout, but they will not be shouting joyfully.
Tinavañe amy tonda kobokaray ty hafaleañe naho ty firebehañe, vaho an-tane’ Moabe; fa najiheko tsy hiboak’ amo fipiritañeo ty divay; tsy eo ty handialia aze an-koike, tsy ho fifandian-taroba i korakey.
34 Instead, the sound of their wailing will rise from Heshbon [city] to Elealeh [town] and Jahaz [village], from Zoar [city] as far as Horonaim [town] and Eglath-Shelishiyah [village]. Even the water in Nimrim [Stream] will be dried up.
Boak’ ami’ty fikoiha’ i Kesbone pak’e Eleale, sikal’am’ Iazere ty nikaiha’ ty fiarañanaña’ iareo; boak’e Tsoare pak’e Koronaime, hoe tamanañe telo taoñe; fa ho kòake ka ty Rano’ i Nimrime.
35 [I, ] Yahweh, say that I will get rid of the people who offer sacrifices on the hilltops, and burn incense to their gods.
Mbore hajiheko amy Moabe, hoe t’Iehovà, ty mañenga amo haboañeo, naho i mañemboke aman-drahare’ey.
36 I [SYN] moan for the people of Moab and Kir-Hareseth like [SIM] [someone playing a funeral song on] a flute, because [all] their wealth will disappear.
Aa le mangolalaike ho a i Moabe manahake o solio ty foko vaho mandala hoe firirio ho a ondati’ i Kir’kereseo ty troko; fa mongotse ty vara natonto’e.
37 The men will shave their heads and their beards [to show that they are mourning]. They all will slash their hands and wear (rough cloth/sackcloth) around their waists.
Fonga peake o añamboneo, songa hinaratse o tateahetseo; sindre linily o fitañeo vaho gony ty sikin-tohake.
38 In every home and in the town plazas/centers in Moab there will be [people who are] mourning, because I will have destroyed Moab like [SIM] someone smashes an [old] jar that no one wants [any more].
Tsitsik’ ambone’ tafo’ i Moabe naho mandrambañ’ an-tameañe ey, le firovetañe avao ty ao; fa finoiko hoe karabiba tsy rei-tave t’i Moabe, hoe t’Iehovà.
39 Moab will be completely shattered! And you will hear the people wailing loudly! They will be disgraced. Moab will become a nation that people ridicule. The people in nearby [countries] will be horrified [about what has happened there].
Akore ty fivolentsa’e, mangololoiha! Akore te niamboho t’i Mobe! salatse re! Aa le ho fiankahafañe naho fiantoañe avao t’i Moabe amo mañohok’ azeo.
40 This is what [I, ] Yahweh, say: ‘Look! Their enemies will be swooping/rushing down over Moab like an eagle [SIM] swoops down [to seize an animal].
Fa hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Ingo te eo ty hitiliñe hoe vantio, havela’e amy Moabe o ela’eo.
41 Its cities will be captured, its fortresses will be seized. [Even] their warriors will be [afraid], like [SIM] a woman who is about to give birth.
Fa tinavañe o rovao, tsinepake o fipalirañe maozatseo, le hanahake ty tron’ ampela mitsongo ty arofo’ o fanalolahi’ i Moabeo amy andro zay.
42 [The leaders of] Moab boasted against [me, ] Yahweh, so Moab will be destroyed.
Le haitoañe tsy ho karaza’ ondaty t’i Moabe, amy t’ie nirengevok’ amy Iehovà.
43 [I, ] Yahweh, say that you people of Moab will be terrified, and fall into pits and traps.
Firevendreveñañe naho i koboñey, vaho i fandrikey ty ho ama’o, ry mpimoneñe e Moabe ao, hoe t’Iehovà.
44 Those who are terrified and try to run away will fall into deep pits. Whoever climbs out of a pit will be caught in a trap, because I will punish them at the time that I have chosen.’
Hikapotrak’ an-koboñe ao ty mibotatsak’ amy mampihebakebakey, naho ho tsepahe’ ty fandrike ty mahafiakatse amy koboñey; fa hafetsako ama’e, eka, amy Moabe, ty taom-pitilihañe iareo, hoe t’Iehovà.
45 The people will flee as far as Heshbon [city], but they will not be able to go any further, because a fire will burn in Heshbon, [which is the city] where [King] Sihon lived [long ago], and it will burn up all the people [SYN] in Moab who noisily/loudly boasted very much.
Mijagarodoñe tsy an-kaozarañe an-kàlo’ i Kesbone ao o nipoliotseo, fa nionjoñe boake Kesbone ty afo, naho boak’ añivo’ i Sihone ao ty lel’afo, ze namorototo ty lahara’ i Moabe, vaho ty hevo’ o mpikoràkeo.
46 [You people of] Moab, terrible things will happen to you! You people who worship [your god] Chemosh, you will be destroyed. Your sons and your daughters will be captured and taken away [to other countries].
Hankàñe ama’o ry Moabe! Fa mibalake ondati’ i Kemoseo, amy te nasese mb’an-drohy mb’eo o ana-dahi’eo naho mb’am-bahoram-b’eo o anak’ampela’eo.
47 But some day, I will enable the people of Moab to return to their land again. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.” That is the end of what I prophesied about Moab.
Fe hafoteko amo andro honka’eo ty fandrohiza’ i Moabe, hoe t’Iehovà. Izay ty figadoñam-pizakañe i Moabe.
