< Jeremiah 9 >

1 Oh that my head were waters, and my eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
Ee t’ie ni-rano ty lohako, naho niganaganake o masokoo, hirovetako handro an-kaleñe o nizamaneñe amy anak’ ampela’ ondatikoy.
2 Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging-place of way-faring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they [are] all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
Ee te tam-babangoañe añe iraho, an-kialo’ o mpandroakeo, hisitahako ondatikoo, hihankañako lavitse! Fa songa mpañarapilo firimboñam-pamañahy.
3 And they bend their tongues [like] their bow [for] lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.
Ampibitsohe’ iereo o famele’eo, ie ty falem-pandañira’iareo; maozatse amy tane’ey iareo, fe tsy ami’ty hatò; boak’an-draty mb’an-katsivokarañe; alik’am’ iereo iraho, hoe t’Iehovà.
4 Take ye heed every one of his neighbor, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will walk with slanders.
Mifampitaoa ry mpitrao-tanàñeo naho ko miato rahalahy; fa songa kalitake ty mpilongo, vaho sindre mifañosoñe amo mpidramotseo o rañetseo.
5 And they will deceive every one his neighbor, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, [and] weary themselves to commit iniquity.
Sambe mifamañahy o mpirai-moneñeo, tsy mivolan-to, nanare’ iereo handañitse o famele’ iareoo; mamoza-batañe ami’ty fikitrohan-draty.
6 Thy habitation [is] in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.
Añivom-pamañahiañe ao ty akiba’o; ifoneña’ iareo o fikatramoañeo tsy hañaoñe ahy, hoe t’Iehovà.
7 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Ho tranaheko iereo, ho tsoheko iereo; fa ino ka ty ho nanoeko, amy anak’ampela’ ondatikoy.
8 Their tongue [is as] an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: [one] speaketh peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait.
Ana-pale mamono ty famele’ iareo, mivola-pitake; saontsiem-palie’e filongoañe ty mpiama’e, fe ikinia’e an-troke ao.
9 Shall I not visit them for these [things]? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Tsy ho liloveko hao iereo ty amy rezay? hoe t’Iehovà; tsy ho valèko fate hao ty fifelehañe manahak’ itoañe?
10 For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through [them]; neither can [men] hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast have fled; they are gone.
Hirovetako naho hangololoihako o vohitseo, naho handalàko o fiandrazañe am-patrambeio, fa napoke ho tomontoñe, tsy iranga’ ondaty; tsy ahatsanoñam-pimàn’ añombe; songa niborofotse añe o voron-dikerañeo naho o bibio, nibioñe.
11 And I will make Jerusalem heaps, [and] a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.
Hanoeko votrem-porompotse t’Ierosalaime, lakatom-panaloke; vaho hampangoakoaheko o rova’ Iehodào ho po-pimoneñe.
12 Who [is] the wise man that may understand this? and [who is he] to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth [and] is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through?
Ia ty mahihitse haharendreke zao? Ia ty nitsaram-palie’ Iehovà, hitalilia’e? Ino ty nampangoakoake i taney ho ratraratra tsy firangàñe?
13 And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;
Le hoe t’Iehovà: Amy t’ie nifary i Hàke napoko aolo’ iereoy, naho tsy nañaoñe ty feoko, vaho tsy nañavelo ama’e;
14 But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:
te mone nitsontike ami’ty hagàñ’ arofo’ iareo, naho amo Baaleo, i nañanaran-droae’ iareoy;
15 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, [even] this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
aa le hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, i Andrianañahare’ Israeley: Ingo hanjotsoako vahontsoy ondaty retoañe, vaho hampinomeko ranon’ afero.
16 I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.
Habaratsàko amo fifeheañeo iereo, amo tsy nifohi’ iareo naho o rae’ iareoo; vaho hampañoridañeko fibara, ampara’ te mongoreko.
17 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for skillful [women], that they may come:
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Tsakoreo, koiho o rakemba mpandalao, homb’atoy; ampañitrifo o rakemba mahafibekoo, hiheo mb’etoa;
18 And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.
Itaentaeño hangoihoy ho antika higanaganaha’ o fihainon-tikañeo, vaho hikararahan-drano o holi-mason-tikañeo.
19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we laid waste! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast [us] out.
Fa janjiñe e Tsione ao ty feom-pirovetañe: Hete! rotsake tika! Vata’e salatse, fa nienga i taney tika, fa narobake o akiban-tikañeo.
20 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbor lamentation.
Ehe, janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà ry rakembao, le ampitsendreño o ravembia’ areoo ty tsaram-palie’e: Songa anaro fangololoihañe o anak’ ampela’eo, vaho fiojeañe o mpiama’eo.
21 For death hath come up into our windows, [and] hath entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, [and] the young men from the streets.
Fa nizilik’ amo lafinetio ty havilasy, nimoak’ añ’anjomban-tikañ’ao, ho zamane’e an-dalañe eo o anan-tikañeo, naho an-kiririsa ao o ajalahio.
22 Speak, Thus saith the LORD, Even the carcasses of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvest-man, and none shall gather [them].
Isaontsio: Hoe t’Iehovà— Hiforetrake hoe taik-ombe amontoñe ey ty lolo’ ondatio, naho manahake ty voton-tsako nipoke boak’an-taña’ i mpanatakey, vaho tsy eo ty hanontoñe.
23 Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise [man] glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty [man] glory in his might, let not the rich [man] glory in his riches:
Hoe t’Iehovà: Ee te tsy hirenge ami’ty hihi’e ty mahihitse, naho tsy hisenge ty haozara’e ty maozatse, vaho tsy hiebotsebotse ami’ty vara’e ty mpañaleale.
24 But let him that glorieth, glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I [am] the LORD who exercise loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these [things] I delight, saith the LORD.
F’ie zao ty hirengea’ ty mpirenge: t’ie maharendreke naho mahafohiñ’ ahiko, te Izaho Iehovà, Mpanolots’ arofo naho ty hato, vaho ty havantañañe an-tane atoy; fa irezay ty teako, hoe t’Iehovà.
25 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all [them who are] circumcised with the uncircumcised;
Ingo, ho tondroke ty andro, hoe t’Iehovà, te ho fonga liloveko o sinavatse mboe tsy sinavatseo.
26 Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all [that are] in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all [these] nations [are] uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel [are] uncircumcised in the heart.
I Mitsraime naho Iehodà, naho i Edome, naho o ana’ i Amoneo naho i Moabe, vaho ze hene mpimoneñe am-patrambey añe mpañitsike ty maròy añ’ilam-panda’e eo; fa songa tsy sinavatse o fifeheañeo, sindre tsy sinavatse añ’arofo ao ty anjomba’ Israele.
