Jeremiah 49
1 [This message is] about the Ammon people-group. This is what Yahweh says: “There are [RHQ] plenty of Israeli people left to occupy [the land of the tribe of] Gad. So, why are [RHQ] [the people who worship the god] Molech living in those towns?
Ty amo nte-Amoneo. Hoe t’Iehovà: Tsy amañ’ana-dahy hao t’Israele? Tsy amam-pandova hao re? Inoñ’ arè ty itavana’ i Meleke i Gade? naho ty imoneña’ ondati’eo an-drova’ iareo ao?
2 There will be a time when I will sound the battle-cry [for their enemies] to attack [their capital city], Rabbah. [Then] it will become a heap of ruins, and [all] the nearby towns will be burned. Then [the people of] Israel will again possess the land that the Ammon people-group took away from them.
Aa le ho tondroke ty andro, hoe t’Iehovà, te hampijanjiñeko koin’aly e Rabà’ o ana’ i Amoneo; ie ho votre mangoakoake le ho hotomomoheñe añ’afo o anak’ ampela’eo; naho hapitso’ Israele o nampipitsok’ azeo, hoe t’Iehovà.
3 You people of Heshbon [city] [MTY], wail, because Ai [town nearby] will be destroyed. You people of Rabbah [city], weep; put on (rough clothing/sackcloth) [to show you are mourning]; run back and forth [in confusion] inside the city walls, because [your god] Milcom, along with its priests and officials, will be taken away (in exile/to other countries).
Mangoihoia ry Kesbone, fa rotsake t’i Aia; mikoeakoeaha ry anak’ ampela’ i Rabà, misikina gony, mandalà, miheloheloa amo goloboñeo, fa homb’am-pandrohizañe añe t’i Meleke, o mpisoro’eo rekets’ o roandria’eo.
4 You are [RHQ] very proud of your very fertile valleys, [but they will soon be ruined]. You rebellious people, you trusted in your wealth, and you said, ‘Certainly no [RHQ] army will be able to attack us!’
Ino ty irengea’o am-bavatane ao, i vavatane’o mitsiritsiokey, ry anak’ ampela midisa-volio? Ihe miato vara, manao ty hoe: Ia ty haname ahy?
5 But listen to this: 'I, the Commander of the armies of angels, will cause you to become terrified. You will all be forced to flee [to other countries], and no one will be able to bring you together [again].'
Inao, hampangebahebak’azo iraho, hoe t’i Talè, Iehovà’ i Màroy, boak’ amo mañohok’ azo iabio; naho songa haronje’ ty roake mb’eo, tsy eo ty hanontoñe ty mibaratsake.
6 But some day I will enable the Ammon people-group to return to their land. [That will surely happen, because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
Fa ie añe, le hampoliko boak’ an-drohy añe o ana’ i Amoneo, hoe t’Iehovà.
7 [This message is] about the Edom people-group. This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “It seems that [RHQ] there are no wise people in Teman [district in Edom]! There are no people left who can give others [good] advice. The people who were wise [PRS] have disappeared.
Ty amy Edome; hoe’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Fa kapaike hao ty hihitse e Temane ao? Fa mongotse hao ty veren-tsoa’ o maharendrekeo? Fa nilosotse am’ iareo hao ty hilala?
8 You people of Dedan [city in the south of Edom], turn and flee and hide in deep [caves], because when I cause the Edom people-group to experience disaster, I will punish you, too.
Miridaridà, mibalintoà, mitoboha an-dalek’ ao, ry mpimone’ i Dedaneo; fa hapoko ama’e ty feh’oha’ i Esave, ty andro andilovako aze.
9 Those who harvest grapes always [RHQ] leave some on the vines. When thieves come at night, they surely [RHQ] steal only as much as they want.
Aa naho nimb’ama’o mb’eo ty mpanontoñe valoboke, tsy ho nisisà’ iareo hao ty ho tsindroheñe? Naho ty malaso an-kaleñe, tsy ho namaok’ am-para’ te nieneñe?
10 But I will cause everything in Edom to be destroyed, and there will be nothing left, and there will be no place for people to hide. [Many of] [HYP] the children, their relatives and their neighbors, will die, and Edom will not exist any more.
F’ie finaopaoko t’i Esave, nampikorendaheko o fikafira’eo, le tsy ho lefe’e ty hietake; fa tinavañe o tiri’eo, songa tsy eo o rolongo’eo, naho o rañe’eo, vaho i vata’ey.
11 But I will protect the orphans, and the widows [also] will [be able to] depend on me [to help them].”
Fario o anam-bode-rae’oo, fa ho velomeko; naho angao hiato amako o ramavoi’oo.
12 And this is [also] what Yahweh says: “If those who do not deserve to suffer [MET] must suffer, you people of Edom must [RHQ] suffer much more [DOU]! You will not escape being punished.
Fa hoe t’Iehovà: Ingo, ndra te tsy tinendre hinoñe amy fitoviy ty ila’e, toe hinoñe ama’e avao; aa le tsy ho lilovañe ka v’iheo? Tsy hapoke tsy ho lilovan-drehe, toe tsy mahay tsy hinoñe.
13 I, Yahweh, have solemnly promised, using my own name, that [your chief city] Bozrah will become a place that people will be horrified about. It will be a heap of ruins. People will make fun of it and use its name when they curse people. All the nearby towns and villages will be a ruins forever.”
Fa nifanta ami’ty vatako iraho, hoe t’Iehovà, te ho hadabàñe ty Botsrà, fañinjeañe, ratraratra, naho fatse; vaho ho koake nainai’e donia o rova’eo.
14 I heard this message from Yahweh: “I have sent an ambassador to [many] nations, [to tell them to] gather together to attack Edom. They must prepare for battle!”
Fa nahatsanon-talily boak’am’ Iehovà iraho, fa nampihitrifeñe amo kilakila’ ondatio ty minday ty hoe: Mifanontona, mionjona haname aze, vaho miongaha mb’an-kotakotake mb’eo.
15 [And Yahweh says to the people of Edom, ] “I will cause your nation to become very unimportant among the [other] nations. They will all despise your country.
Inao, hafotsako ho kedekedeke amo fifeheañeo irehe, naho ho fañamavoa’ ondatio.
16 You have caused [people of other nations] to be terrified, and you [MTY] have been very proud, but you have deceived yourselves. You live in caves in the rock cliffs; [you think that you are safe there because] you live high up there. But even if you make your homes as high up as the eagles’ nests, I will cause you to come [crashing] down.
Fa namañahy azo ty fangebaheba’o: ty firengevohan’ arofo’o, ihe mpimoneñe an-tseratseram-bato ao, mitobok’ an-kaboañe ey; aa ndra te nanoe’o antiotiotse ey, mira ami’ty vantio ty akiba’o, mbe hampizotsoeko boak’ey, hoe t’Iehovà.
17 Edom will become a place about which people are horrified; people who pass by will be horrified and will (gasp/be shocked) when they see the destruction.
Ho liolio kòake t’i Edome, hene ho latsa ze mioza ama’e, hikosìk’ amo hekoheko nizoe’eo.
18 Edom will be destroyed as [completely as] Sodom and Gomorrah and the nearby towns were destroyed [long ago]. [As a result, ] no one will live there [any more] [DOU].
Hanahake ty fandrotsahañe i Sedome naho i Amorà naho o rova nañohoke iareoo, hoe t’Iehovà, tsy himoneña’ ondaty, tsy hañialoa’ ty ana’ondaty.
19 I will come to Edom [suddenly] like [SIM] a lion comes out of the jungle and [leaps on the sheep that are] eating in the good pastureland. I will quickly chase the people of Edom from their land. And [then] I will appoint for them a leader whom I will choose; [I can do that] because there is no one [RHQ] like me who can object to what I do. No ruler can oppose me.
Ingo hionjoñe hanahake ty liona boak’an-drongoñe matahetse añ’olo’ Iordaney mb’an-goloboñe soa fahetse mb’eo; fa hampitribaheko an-day boak’ ama’e amy zao, vaho ho tendrèko hifehe aze ze nijoboñeñe; fa ia ty hambañ’ amako? Ia ty haneseke ahy? Vaho ia ty mpiarake hahafijohañe hiatrek’ ahiko?
20 Listen to what I have planned to do to the people of Teman [town] and [the rest of] Edom: Even the little children will be dragged away, and I will completely get rid of the people [MET] who live there.
Aa le inao ty safiri’ Iehovà, ty nisafirie’e i Edome; naho ty ereñere naereñere’e amo mpimone’ i Temaneo; toe ho kozozote’e añe ndra o kede amy lia-raikeio, vata’e hampangoakoahe’e am’iereo o fiandraza’ iareoo.
21 When Edom is destroyed, the noise [will be extremely great], with the result that the earth will shake, and the wailing of the people will be heard [as far away as] the Red Sea.
Manginikinike ty tane ami’ty fikodoim-pikorovoha’ iareo; inay ty koeake, janjiñe an-dRiake Mena añe ty feo’e.
22 Look! The enemy troops will swoop/rush down over Bozrah like an eagle spreads its wings when it swoops down [to seize an animal]. On that day, [even the strongest] warriors of Edom will [be afraid] like [SIM] a woman who is about to give birth.”
Ingo t’ie hionjoñe mb’eo naho hitsikefañe hoe vantio vaho havela’e amy Botsrà o ela’eo; le hanahake ty fidebom-pon-drakemba mitsongo ty arofo’ o fanalolahi’ i Edomeo amy andro zay.
23 [This message is] about Damascus. [This is what Yahweh says]: “[The people in the nearby cities of] Hamath and Arpad are confused, because they have heard bad news [about Damascus]. They are very anxious and restless, like [SIM] a sea in a big storm.
I Damesèke: Angoae ty Kamate naho i Arpade; ty amy talili-raty jinanji’ iareo, ie tranahe’ ty hebakebake, mitroñe i riakey tsy mete pendreñeñe.
24 The people of Damascus have become very weak, and [they all] have (panicked/fled [because] they are very afraid). The people are anguished and in pain like [SIM] a woman [experiences] who is about to give birth.
Niforetrake t’i Damesèke, nitolike re hivoratsake, fe manjitse aze ty fineveneverà’e; fioremeñañe naho teveteveke ty mamihiñe aze, manahake ty ampela mitsongo.
25 That famous city, that I was [previously] pleased with, will be abandoned.
Akore te hangoakoake i rova nirengèñey, i rova nahafale ahiy?
26 Its young men will fall in the streets. Its soldiers will all be killed in one day.
Aa le hikorovok’ an-tameañe ey o ajalahi’eo, vaho fonga hampianjiñeñe amy andro zay o lahin-defoñeo, hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy.
27 And I, the Commander of the armies of angels, will start a fire to burn the walls that surround Damascus, and the palaces of [King] Ben-Hadad will be burned down.”
Hamiañako afo ty kijoli’ i Damesèke, hampibotseke o anjomba’ i Ben-hadadeo.
28 [This is a message] about the Kedar [people-group] and the kingdom of Hazor which [the army of] Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon attacked. This is what Yahweh says: “[I will cause an army to] advance to attack Kedar and destroy those people who live east [of Judah].
Ty amy Kedare naho or fifehea’ i Katsore linafa’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Baveleo, hoe t’Iehovà; Miongaha, mionjona mb’e Kedare, vaho korendaho o anan-tatiñanañeo.
29 Their tents and their flocks [of sheep] will be captured. The curtains [in their tents] and their camels and their other possessions will be taken away. [Everywhere] men will shout, ‘We are terrified [because terrible things are happening] all around us!’
Ho kopahe’ iereo ty kivoho naho o lia-rai’ iareoo, ho tavane’ iareo ho am-bata’e o lamban-temetseo, naho o vara’ iareoo, naho o rameva’ iareoo; vaho ho koraheñe ama’iareo, ty hoe, Hankàñe mb’etia mb’eroa!
30 So [I, ] Yahweh, say, ‘Run away [quickly]! You people who live in Hazor, go and hide in deep [caves], because King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon wants to attack you [with his army]; he is planning to destroy you!’
Miorata añe, miherereaha! mañialoa an-dalek’ ao, ry mpimoneñe e Katsore ao, hoe t’Iehovà; fa nisafirie’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele, vaho naereñere’e talin-dia.
31 But I say [to Nebuchadnezzar], ‘Go up and attack that nation whose people feel secure; they do not have allies [who will help them] and do not have [walls with] gates that have bars in them.
Miongaha, mionjona mb’amy fifeheañe mierañerañey, i miaiñañoleñañey; hoe t’Iehovà; I tsy aman-kijoly, tsy aman-tsikadañey; mpimoneñe am-bangiñe.
32 Your troops will seize their camels and [other] livestock. I will scatter in every direction [IDM] those people who live in remote places (OR, who cut their hair short). I will cause them to experience disasters from every direction.
Hakopake o rameva’ iareoo, ho tongañe o añombe’ iareo mitozantozañeo; vaho hampiparatsiaheko mb’amo tioke iabio o mihitsike ty am-bala’eo, haseseko hankàñe boak’an -dafi’e iaby, hoe t’Iehovà.
33 Hazor will become a place where jackals/wolves live, and it will be deserted forever. No one will live there again; no one will settle there [DOU].’”
Ho poakorom-panaloke ty Katsore, hoakoake nainai’e kitro-katroke, ie ho po-pimoneñe, ndra ty ana’ ondaty tsy hañialo ao.
34 I received this message from Yahweh when King Zedekiah was starting to rule Judah.
Ty tsara’ Iehovà niheo am’ Iirmeà mpitoky ty amy Elame ami’ty fifotoram-pifehea’ i Tsidkia’ mpanjaka’ Iehodà, manao ty hoe:
35 This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “The men of Elam are famous (archers/men who shoot arrows well); that is how they have made their country very powerful. But I will get rid of them [MET].
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy; Inao! ho pekañeko ty fale’ i Elame, ty fiaolon-kaozara’ iareo.
36 I will bring their enemies from all directions [IDM, DOU], and they will scatter the people of Elam in all directions. The people of Elam will be exiled to every nation on the earth [LIT, HYP].
Le hatreatrèko amy Elame i tiok’efatse boak’ an-kotsok’ efa’ i likerañey rey, naho hampiparaitaheko mb’amy tioke rey iereo; vaho tsy eo ty fifeheañe tsy higodañe’ o naronje boak’ Elameo.
37 Because I am very angry with the people of Elam, I will enable their enemies to smash Elam; I will cause the people of Elam to experience great disasters. I will enable their enemies, who want to kill them, to pursue them [and kill them] with swords until I completely get rid of all of them.
Le hampiroreheko añatrefa’ o rafelahi’eo t’i Elame, naho aolo’ o mipay ty fiai’iareoo; naho hametsahako hankàñe, naho ty haboseko miforoforo; hoe t’Iehovà; vaho hañitrifako fibara hañoridañe iareo ampara’ te mongotse;
38 I, Yahweh, will judge them there [MTY], and [then] I will get rid of their king and [his] officials.
le hapoko Elame ao ty fiambesako vaho ho rotsaheko boak’ao ze mpanjaka ndra roandriañe, hoe t’Iehovà.
39 But some day, I will enable the people of Elam to return to their land. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
Fe ho tondrok’ amo andro honka’eo te hampoliko o nasese hirik’ i Elame, hoe t’Iehovà.
