Jeremiah 6
1 Find safety, people of Benjamin, by leaving Jerusalem. Blow a trumpet in Tekoa. Raise up over Beth Hakkerem a signal, since wickedness is appearing from the north; a great crushing is coming.
Hianareo, zanak’ i Benjamina, mandosira faingana hiala an’ i Jerosalema, ary tsofy ao Tekoa ny anjomara, ka manaova tsangan’ afo ao Beti-hakerema; Fa misy loza sy fandringanana be miposaka avy any avaratra.
2 The daughter of Zion, the beautiful and delicate woman, will be destroyed.
Ziona zanakavavy dia ampitoviko amin’ ny fiandrasan-ondry misy ahitra milenodenoka.
3 The shepherds and their flocks will go to them; they will set up tents against her all around; each man will shepherd with his own hand.
Ao aminy no alehan’ ny mpiandry sy ny ondry; Haoriny manodidina azy ny lainy, ka samy handany ny ao akaikiny avy izy.
4 “Dedicate yourselves to the gods for the battle. Arise, let us attack at noon. It is too bad that the daylight is fading away, that the evening shadows are falling.
Mitaova ianareo hanao ady masìna hamelezana azy; Mitsangàna, ka andeha isika hiakatra antoandro. Lozantsika! fa lasan-davitra ny andro, ka efa mandroso ny aloky ny hariva.
5 But let us attack at night and destroy her fortresses.”
Mitsangàna, ka andeha isika hanao latsak’ alina, ary aoka horavantsika ny trano-beny.
6 For Yahweh of hosts says this: Cut her trees, and heap up siegeworks against Jerusalem. This is the right city to attack, because it is filled with oppression.
Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro; Kapao ny hazo, ary manandrata tovon-tany hamelezana an’ i Jerosalema; Io ilay tanàna hovaliana, feno fampahoriana ny ao anatiny.
7 As a well pours out fresh water, so this city keeps producing wickedness. Violence and disorder are heard within her; sickness and wounds are continually before my face.
Toy ny loharano mampiboiboika ny ranony no ampiboiboihany ny faharatsiany; An-keriny sy fandravana no re ao aminy; Eo anatrehako mandrakariva ny faharariana sy ny faharatrana.
8 Accept discipline, Jerusalem, or I will turn away from you and make you into a ruin, an uninhabited land.'”
Minoa anatra ianao, ry Jerosalema, fandrao miombotra miala aminao ny fanahiko, ary fandrao hataoko tany lao ianao, dia tany tsy honenana.
9 Yahweh of hosts says this, “They will certainly glean those who are left in Israel like a vineyard. Reach out again with your hand to pick grapes from the vines.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Hotsimponina fatratra toy ny fitsimpona voaloboka izay sisa amin’ ny Isiraely; Avereno ho amin’ ny sakeliny ny tananao toy ny mpioty voaloboka.
10 To whom should I declare and warn so they will listen? Look! Their ears are uncircumcised; they are not able to pay attention! Look! The word of Yahweh has come to them to correct them, but they do not want it.”
Iza no hilazako sy hanariko mba handrenesany? Indro, ny sofiny dia tsy voafora, ka tsy mahahaino izy; He! tsatsoiny ny tenin’ i Jehovah ka tsy ankamaminy.
11 But I am filled with Yahweh's fury. I am tired of holding it in. He said, to me, “Pour it out on the children in the streets and on the groups of young men. For every man will be taken away with his wife; and every old person heavy with years.
Fa ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah mahafeno ahy ka tsy zakako tsindriana intsony! Aidino amin’ ny ankizy madinika eny an-dalambe sy amin’ ny fiokoan’ ny zatovo izany; Fa na lehilahy na vehivavy dia hosamborina avokoa, ary ny anti-panahy mbamin’ ny ela niainana koa;
12 Their houses will be turned over to others, both their fields and their wives together. For I will attack the inhabitants of the land with my hand—this is Yahweh's declaration.
Ary ho lasan’ ny sasany ny tranony mbamin’ ny sahany sy ny vehivavy koa; Fa hahinjitro amin’ ny mponina amin’ ny tany ny tanako, hoy Jehovah,
13 Yahweh declares that from the least to the greatest, all of them are greedy for dishonest gain. From the prophet to the priest, all of them practice deceit.
Satria izy rehetra, na ny kely na ny lehibe, dia samy fatra-pila harena avokoa; Na ny mpaminany na ny mpisorona dia samy mamitaka avokoa.
14 They have healed the wounds of my people lightly, saying, 'Peace, Peace,' when there is no peace.
Fa nataotaony foana ny fanasitranany ny faharatran’ ny oloko zanakavavy tamin’ ny nanaovany hoe: Fiadanana, fiadanana; Kanjo tsy misy fiadanana tsinona!
15 Were they ashamed when they practiced abominations? They were not ashamed; they did not know how to blush! So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when they are punished, says Yahweh.
Nomenarina izy noho ny nanaovany fahavetavetana, nefa tsy mba menatra akory izy ary tsy mba valahara; Koa ho lavo ao amin’ izay lavo izy, amin’ ny andro hamaliako azy dia ho tafintohina izy, hoy Jehovah.
16 Yahweh says this, “Stand at the road crossing and look; ask for the ancient pathways. 'Where is this good way?' Then go on it and find a resting place for yourselves. But the people say, 'We will not go.'
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Mijanona eo an-dalana ianareo, ka izahao, ary anontanio izay lalana masaka hatry ny ela. Dia izay lalana mankany amin’ ny tsara, ka iny no izory, dia hahita fitsaharana ho an’ ny fanahinareo ianareo; Nefa hoy izy: Tsy hizotra izahay.
17 I appointed for you watchmen to listen for the trumpet. But they said, 'We will not listen.'
Ary nasiako mpitily ianareo hanao hoe: Henoy ny feon’ ny anjomara! Nefa hoy ianareo: Tsy hihaino izahay.
18 Therefore, nations, listen! See, you witnesses, what will happen to them.
Koa henoinareo, ry jentilisa, ary aoka ho fantatrareo, ry fiangonana, ny hanjo azy.
19 Hear, earth! See, I am about to bring disaster to this people—the fruit of their thoughts. They paid no attention to my word or law, but they instead rejected it.”
Henoy, ry tany! Indro, Izaho hahatonga loza amin’ ity firenena ity, dia ny vokatry ny heviny ihany; Fa tsy nihaino ny teniko izy, ary nolaviny ny lalàko.
20 “What does this frankincense going up from Sheba mean to me? Or these sweet smells from a distant land? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable to me, nor are your sacrifices.
Nahoana no itondrana ditin-kazo mani-pofona avy any Sheba Aho sy veromanitra avy any amin’ ny tany lavitra? Tsy sitrako ny fanatitra doranareo, ary tsy mamiko ny zavatra vonoinareo hatao fanatitra.
21 So Yahweh says this, 'See, I am about to place a stumbling block against this people. They will stumble over it—fathers and sons together. Inhabitants and their neighbors will also perish.'
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro hasiako fahatafintohinana eo amin’ ity firenena ity, ka dia samy ho tafintohina amin’ izany ny ray mbamin’ ny zanany; Ho faty ny olona mbamin’ ny namany.
22 Yahweh says this, 'See, a people is coming from the land of the north, a great nation is being stirred up from the farthest parts of the earth.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, misy firenena avy any amin’ ny tany avaratra, dia firenena lehibe mitsangana avy any amin’ ny faran’ ny tany;
23 They will pick up bows and spears. They are cruel and have no compassion. Their sound is like the sea roar, and they are riding on horses, set out in order as men for battle, against you, daughter of Zion.'”
Tsipika sy lefona no entiny, lozabe sady tsy mamindra fo izy; Ny feony dia mirohondrohona toy ny ranomasina, sady mitaingin-tsoavaly izy ary voaomana tahaka ny lehilahy ho amin’ ny ady, hamelezana anao, ry Ziona zanakavavy.
24 We have heard the reports about them and our hands fall limp in distress. Anguish seizes us as a woman giving birth.
Efa renay ny lazany, ka miraviravy tanana izahay; Fahoriana no mahazo anay, eny, fanaintainana tahaka ny vehivavy raha miteraka.
25 Do not go out to the fields, and do not walk on the roads, for the swords of the enemy and terror are all around.
Aza mivoaka ho any an-tsaha, ary aza mandeha amin’ ny lalambe; Fa manan-tsabatra ny fahavalo, misy fampangorohoroana manodidina.
26 Daughter of my people, put on sackcloth and roll in ashes; mourn with painful sobs as for an only son, for the destroyer will suddenly come upon us.
Ry oloko zanakavavy, misikìna lamba fisaonana ianao, ary mihosena lavenona, ka manaova fisaonana toy ny fisaonana zanakalahy tokana, dia fitomaniana fatratra; Fa ho avy tampoka amintsika ny mpandringana.
27 “I have made you, Jeremiah, one who tests my people like one would test metal, so you will inspect and test their ways.
Ho mpizaha toetra ao amin’ ny oloko no nanendreko anao, dia ho fiarovana mafy, mba ho fantatrao sy hizahanao toetra ny alehany.
28 They are all the most stubborn of people, who go about slandering others. All of them are bronze and iron, acting corruptly.
Tena maditra avokoa izy rehetra ka mandehandeha manaratsy, varahina sy vy izy; Samy mpanao ratsy avokoa izy rehetra.
29 The bellows are scorched by the fire that is burning them; the lead is consumed in the flames. The refining continues among them, but it is useless, because the evil is not removed.
May ny tafoforana, levon’ ny afo ny firaka, foana ny nandrendrehan’ ny mpandrendrika, fa tsy voaisotra ny ratsy.
30 They will be called rejected silver, for Yahweh has rejected them.”
Ataon’ ny olona hoe, volafotsy tsy lany izy, satria tsy lanin’ i Jehovah.
