Jeremiah 14
1 This is the LORD’s word that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought:
Ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay tonga tamin’ i Jeremia ny amin’ ny mosary.
2 “Judah mourns, and its gates languish. They sit in black on the ground. The cry of Jerusalem goes up.
Misaona ny Joda, ary mitanondrika ny vavahadiny; Mitafy lamba fioriana izy ka mipetraka amin’ ny tany; Ary miakatra ny fitarainan’ i Jerosalema.
3 Their nobles send their little ones to the waters. They come to the cisterns, and find no water. They return with their vessels empty. They are disappointed and confounded, and cover their heads.
Ny lehibeny maniraka ny madinika hantsaka rano; Dia tonga any amin’ ny lavaka famorian-drano ireny, nefa tsy mahita rano ka miverina mitondra loha mody; Menatra sy mangaihay izy ka misaron-doha.
4 Because of the ground which is cracked, because no rain has been in the land, the ploughmen are disappointed. They cover their heads.
Noho ny fangentan’ ny tany, noho ny tsy nilatsahan’ ny ranonorana taminy, dia menatra ny mpiasa ka misaron-doha.
5 Yes, the doe in the field also calves and forsakes her young, because there is no grass.
Ary na dia ny dieravavy any an-tsaha aza, raha miteraka, dia mahafoy noho ny tsi-fisian’ ny ahi-maitso.
6 The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights. They pant for air like jackals. Their eyes fail, because there is no vegetation.
Ary ny borikidia mijanona eny an-tendrombohitra mangadihady, mihanahana maniry ny rivotra toy ny amboadia izy; Manjambena ny masony noho ny tsi-fisian’ ny ahitra.
7 Though our iniquities testify against us, work for your name’s sake, LORD; for our rebellions are many. We have sinned against you.
Ry Jehovah ô, na dia miampanga anay aza ny helokay, miasà ihany Hianao noho ny anaranao; Fa be ny fiodinanay, taminao no nanotanay.
8 You hope of Israel, its Saviour in the time of trouble, why should you be as a foreigner in the land, and as a wayfaring man who turns aside to stay for a night?
Ry Fanantenan’ ny Isiraely ô, Mpamonjy azy amin’ ny andro fahoriana! Nahoana Hianao no dia toy ny vahiny amin’ ny tany ary toy ny mpandeha izay manorin-day handry indray alina monja?
9 Why should you be like a scared man, as a mighty man who can’t save? Yet you, LORD, are in the middle of us, and we are called by your name. Don’t leave us.
Nahoana Hianao no dia toy ny olona ankona ary toy ny lehilahy mahery tsy mahavonjy? Nefa mbola ato aminay ihany Hianao, Jehovah ô, ary ny anaranao dia efa nantsoina taminay; Aza dia mandao anay.
10 The LORD says to this people: “Even so they have loved to wander. They have not restrained their feet. Therefore the LORD does not accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish them for their sins.”
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah amin’ ity firenena ity: Te-hirenireny toy izao izy, ka tsy mahajanona ny tongony; Tsy sitrak’ i Jehovah izy, Ankehitriny dia tsaroany ny helony, ary valiany ny fahotany.
11 The LORD said to me, “Don’t pray for this people for their good.
Dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Aza mivavaka ho an’ ity firenena ity hahasoa azy.
12 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and meal offering, I will not accept them; but I will consume them by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.”
Fa na dia mifady hanina aza izy, dia tsy hihaino ny fitarainany Aho; Ary na dia manatitra fanatitra dorana sy fanatitra hohanina aza izy, dia tsy hankasitraka azy Aho, fa haripako amin’ ny sabatra sy ny mosary ary ny areti-mandringana izy.
13 Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, the prophets tell them, ‘You will not see the sword, neither will you have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.’”
Dia hoy izaho: Indrisy, Jehovah Tompo ô! Indreo ny mpaminany manao aminy hoe: Tsy hiharan’ ny sabatra ianareo, ary tsy ho mosarena; Fa homeko fiadanana maharitra eto amin’ ity tany ity ianareo.
14 Then the LORD said to me, “The prophets prophesy lies in my name. I didn’t send them. I didn’t command them. I didn’t speak to them. They prophesy to you a lying vision, divination, and a thing of nothing, and the deceit of their own heart.
Dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Ireo mpaminany ireo dia maminany lainga amin’ ny anarako; Tsy naniraka azy Aho, na nandidy azy, na niteny taminy; Fa fahitana mandainga sy faminaniana tsy marina ary tsinotsinona sy fitaky ny fony no aminaniany aminareo.
15 Therefore the LORD says concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name, but I didn’t send them, yet they say, ‘Sword and famine will not be in this land.’ Those prophets will be consumed by sword and famine.
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah ny amin’ ireo mpaminany izay maminany amin’ ny Anarako ireo nefa tsy nirahiko tsinona ka milaza fa tsy hisy sabatra sy mosary eto amin’ ity tany ity: Ny sabatra sy ny mosary indrindra no handringanana ireo mpaminany ireo.
16 The people to whom they prophesy will be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword. They will have no one to bury them—them, their wives, their sons, or their daughters, for I will pour their wickedness on them.
Ary ny firenena izay aminanian’ ireo koa dia hiely faty eny an-dalamben’ i Jerosalema noho ny mosary sy ny sabatra, ka tsy hisy mpandevina ireny, na ny tenany, na ny vadiny, na ny zananilahy, na ny zananivavy, fa haidiko ao aminy ny faharatsiany.
17 “You shall say this word to them: “‘Let my eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease; for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous wound.
Koa lazao aminy izao teny izao: Ny ranomasoko hijononoka andro aman’ alina ka tsy hitsahatra; Fa ny oloko, zanakavavy virijina, naratra mafy dia mafy tamin’ ny kapoka maharary indrindra.
18 If I go out into the field, then behold, the slain with the sword! If I enter into the city, then behold, those who are sick with famine! For both the prophet and the priest go about in the land, and have no knowledge.’”
Raha mivoaka any an-tsaha aho, dia indreny ny matin-tsabatra! Ary raha miditra ao an-tanàna kosa aho, dia indreo ny anan’ ny mosary! Eny, ny mpaminany sy ny mpisorona dia mirenireny mankamin’ ny tany tsy fantany.
19 Have you utterly rejected Judah? Has your soul loathed Zion? Why have you struck us, and there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and behold, dismay!
Efa narianao tokoa va Joda? Efa naharikoriko ny fanahinao va Ziona? Nahoana no dia mamely anay Hianao, ka efa tsy mety sitrana izahay? Nanantena fiadanana izahay, kanjo tsy nahita asa, ary andro fanasitranana, fa indro fampitahorana.
20 We acknowledge, LORD, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against you.
Jehovah ô, tsaroanay ny faharatsianay sy ny heloky ny razanay; Fa efa nanota taminao izahay.
21 Do not abhor us, for your name’s sake. Do not disgrace the throne of your glory. Remember, and don’t break your covenant with us.
Noho ny amin’ ny anaranao dia aza arianao izahay; Aza atao ho tsinontsinona ny seza fiandrianan’ ny voninahitrao; Tsarovy, ka aza tsoahanao ny fanekenao taminay.
22 Are there any amongst the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? Or can the sky give showers? Aren’t you he, the LORD our God? Therefore we will wait for you; for you have made all these things.
Mba misy mahalatsaka ranonorana va ireny sampin’ ny jentilisa ireny? Na mahay mandatsaka ranonorana mivatravatra va ny lanitra? Fa tsy Hianao ihany va no Izy, ry Jehovah Andriamanitray ô? Koa manantena Anao izahay, satria Hianao no nanao ireo zavatra rehetra ireo.
