Jeremiah 23
1 “Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!” says the LORD.
Hankàñe amo mpiarake manjamañe naho mampibaibay o añondrim-piandrazakoo! hoe t’Iehovà.
2 Therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, says against the shepherds who feed my people: “You have scattered my flock, driven them away, and have not visited them. Behold, I will visit on you the evil of your doings,” says the LORD.
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele amo mpiarake mamahañe ondatikoo: Fa nampivarakaihe’ areo i lia-raikoy, vaho rinoa’ areo añe; tsy sinari’ areo; aa le hisariako ty amo haloloam-pitoloña’ areo, hoe t’Iehovà.
3 “I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they will be fruitful and multiply.
Le izaho ty hanontoñe ty sehanga’ i lia-raikoy boak’ amo fifeheañe nandroahako iareoo, le hampoliko mb’ an-golobo’e mb’eo; vaho hiraorao vaho hanaranake.
4 I will set up shepherds over them who will feed them. They will no longer be afraid or dismayed, neither will any be lacking,” says the LORD.
Le hampitroareko mpiarake hisary iareo naho hamahañe iareo; ie tsy ho hembañe ka, tsy hiroreke, vaho tsy ama’e ty hirereke, hoe t’Iehovà.
5 “Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will raise to David a righteous Branch; and he will reign as king and deal wisely, and will execute justice and righteousness in the land.
Ingo ho tondroke ty andro, hoe t’Iehovà, t’ie hampitirieko amy Davide ty tora-mionjo-bantañe, ie ty ho mpanjaka hifeleke naho hiraorao, vaho hizaka amy taney an-katò naho an-kavañonañe.
6 In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell safely. This is his name by which he will be called: The LORD our righteousness.
Ho rombaheñe amo andro’eo t’Iehodà, vaho hiaiñañoleñañe t’Israele; le zao ty tahina’e hikanjiañe aze: Iehovà Havantaña’ay.
7 “Therefore, behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that they will no more say, ‘As the LORD lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;’
Aa le ingo ho tondroke ty andro hoe t’Iehovà, te tsy hanoe’ iereo ty hoe: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà nañakatse o ana’ Israeleo boak’ an-tane’ Mitsraime añe;
8 but, ‘As the LORD lives, who brought up and who led the offspring of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries where I had driven them.’ Then they will dwell in their own land.”
fe: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà nañavotse naho niaolo ty tirin’ anjomba’ Israele boak’an-tane avaratse añe, hirik’amo hene fifeheañe nandroahako iareo, le himoneña’ iareo ty tane’iareo.
9 Concerning the prophets: My heart within me is broken. All my bones shake. I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine has overcome, because of the LORD, and because of his holy words.
Aa ty amo mpitokio: Rofotse ty troko añ’ovako ao, miripidripike iaby o taolakoo, hoe te ondaty jike, manahake t’indaty nimamoe’ ty divay, ty am’ Iehovà naho o tsara’e masiñeo.
10 “For the land is full of adulterers; for because of the curse the land mourns. The pastures of the wilderness have dried up. Their course is evil, and their might is not right;
Amy te manitsike i taney o mpañakarapiloo; itañia’ i taney i fatsey, mikantañe o fiandrazañe am-patrambeio; mengoke am-pañaveloañe iareo naho vàlañe an-kaozarañe;
11 for both prophet and priest are profane. Yes, in my house I have found their wickedness,” says the LORD.
Tsy aman-Kàke ndra mpitoky ndra mpisoroñe; eka, ndra añ’akibako ao ty nahatreavako ty haloloa’ iareo, hoe t’Iehovà.
12 Therefore their way will be to them as slippery places in the darkness. They will be driven on, and fall therein; for I will bring evil on them, even the year of their visitation,” says the LORD.
Aa le halama o lala’ iareoo, haronje ami’ty haleñe iereo vaho hivarinjonjok’ ao; fa hafetsako am’ iereo ty hankàñe, eka, ty taom-pitilihañe iareo, hoe t’Iehovà.
13 “I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria. They prophesied by Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.
Mbore nahatrea hativañe amo mpisoro’ i Someroneo iraho: i Baale ty fitokia’ iareo, mampanan-kakeo Israele ondatikoo.
14 In the prophets of Jerusalem I have also seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery and walk in lies. They strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one returns from his wickedness. They have all become to me as Sodom, and its inhabitants as Gomorrah.”
Toe vata’e haloloañe ty nitreako amo mpitoky e Ierosalaimeo: ie mpañarapilo naho mpañavelo an-dañitse, ampahozare’ iareo ty fità’ o lo-tserekeo, soa tsy eo ty hibalintoa amy hatsivokara’ey; songa hanahake Sedome amako iereo, manahak’ i Amorà o mpimone’eo.
15 Therefore the LORD of Armies says concerning the prophets: “Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink poisoned water; for from the prophets of Jerusalem ungodliness has gone out into all the land.”
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy ty amo mpitokio: Ingo hifahanako vahontsoy, ampinomeko manahin-afero; fa boak’ amo mpitoki’ Ierosalaimeo ty namelaran-katemboañe nahatsitsike ty tane.
16 The LORD of Armies says, “Don’t listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They teach you vanity. They speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy: Ko haoñe’ areo ty lañona’ o mpitoky mitoky ama’ areoo, o mitarik’ anahareo mb’an-koakeo; ty aroñaron-tro’e avao ty saontsie’ iereo f’ie tsy boak’am-palie’ Iehovà.
17 They say continually to those who despise me, ‘The LORD has said, “You will have peace;”’ and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart they say, ‘No evil will come on you.’
Mitolom-panao ty hoe amo malaiñe Ahio iereo: inao ty tsara’ Iehovà: Hierañerañe nahareo; naho amo manjotik’ am-panjeharan-tro’eo ty hoe: Tsy ho tendrek’ ama’ areo ty hekoheko.
18 For who has stood in the council of the LORD, that he should perceive and hear his word? Who has listened to my word, and heard it?
Fa ia ty nijohañe am-pivori’ Iehovà ao hahaoniñe, hijanjiñe o tsara’eo? Ia ty nañaoñe i nafè’ey, naho nahafitsendreñ’aze?
19 Behold, the LORD’s storm, his wrath, has gone out. Yes, a whirling storm! It will burst on the head of the wicked.
Ingo fa nionjoñe am-piforoforoa’e ty tio-bei’ Iehovà, eka, hiviombio an-doha’ o lo-tserekeo ty tangololahy.
20 The LORD’s anger will not return until he has executed and performed the intents of his heart. In the latter days, you will understand it perfectly.
Tsy himpoly ty haviñera’ Iehovà ampara’ t’ie mahaheneke, ampara’ te fonire’e i satrie’ey, ho fohi’ areo do’e izay amo andro honkahonka’eo.
21 I didn’t send these prophets, yet they ran. I didn’t speak to them, yet they prophesied.
Tsy nafantoko o mpitoky retoa, f’ie mihitrihitry; tsy nivolañeko, f’ie mitoky avao.
22 But if they had stood in my council, then they would have caused my people to hear my words, and would have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
Aa naho nijohañ’ ampivoriko ao, le ho nampijanjiñe’ iareo ondatikoo o entakoo, himpolia’iareo boak’amy lalan-kelokelo’iareoy vaho hiambohoa’ iareo o sata’ rati’ iareoo,
23 “Am I a God at hand,” says the LORD, “and not a God afar off?
Andrianañahare atoañe avao hao iraho, hoe t’Iehovà, fa tsy Andrianañahare añe ka?
24 Can anyone hide himself in secret places so that I can’t see him?” says the LORD. “Don’t I fill heaven and earth?” says the LORD.
Eo hao ty mahafietake am-pipalira’e ao tsy ho treako? hoe t’Iehovà. Tsy manitsike i likerañey naho ty tane toy hao iraho? hoe t’Iehovà.
25 “I have heard what the prophets have said, who prophesy lies in my name, saying, ‘I had a dream! I had a dream!’
Fa tsinanoko ty saontsi’ o mpitoky mpandañitse ami’ty añarakoo, ami’ty hoe: Nañinofy iraho, nañinofy iraho.
26 How long will this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies, even the prophets of the deceit of their own heart?
Ampara’ te mb’ia te ho an-tro’ i mpitoky vilañey ty hitokia’e vande, ty hitoky ty famañahian-tro’e avao.
27 They intend to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they each tell his neighbour, as their fathers forgot my name because of Baal.
Fisafiria’ iareo ty hampañaliñoañe ondatikoo ty añarako amo nofi’ iareo ifampisaontsia’ iareoo, manahake ty nandikofa’ o roae’eo ty añarako ty amy Baale.
28 The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream; and he who has my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the straw to the wheat?” says the LORD.
Ty mpitoky mañinofy, apoho hitalily i nofi’ey; le ty manañe i entakoy, soa re te hitaroñe am-pigahiñañe. Inoñ’ ami’ty ampemba hao ty ahetse? hoe t’Iehovà;
29 “Isn’t my word like fire?” says the LORD; “and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?
Tsy manahake ty afo hao o volakoo? hoe t’Iehovà; naho hoe ana-bato mampikotekoteke ty lamilamy?
30 “Therefore behold, I am against the prophets,” says the LORD, “who each steal my words from his neighbour.
Aa le inao! hejeko o mpitokio, hoe t’Iehovà, ie mifampikametse o entakoo.
31 Behold, I am against the prophets,” says the LORD, “who use their tongues, and say, ‘He says.’
Inao hatreatreko o mpitokio, hoe t’Iehovà ie mañetseke ty famele’e hitoky ty hoe: Hoe ty tsara’e.
32 Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams,” says the LORD, “who tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their vain boasting; yet I didn’t send them or command them. They don’t profit this people at all,” says the LORD.
Inao! toe hejeko o mitoky nofin-dremborakeo, hoe t’Iehovà, ie mitalily vaho mampandilatse ondatikoo amo vande’eo naho amo fikanifoha’eo; ie tsy niraheko, tsy liniliko; mbore tsy mahasoa ondaty retoa, hoe t’Iehovà.
33 “When this people, or the prophet, or a priest, asks you, saying, ‘What is the message from the LORD?’ Then you shall tell them, ‘“What message? I will cast you off,” says the LORD.’
Aa naho manao ty hoe ama’o ondaty retoa, ndra ty mpitoky, ndra ty mpisoroñe: Ino ty nafè’ Iehovà? le isaontsio ty hoe, Fetse inoñe! Fa ho farieko nahareo, hoe t’Iehovà.
34 As for the prophet, the priest, and the people, who say, ‘The message from the LORD,’ I will even punish that man and his household.
Le ty mpitoky ndra mpisoroñe ndra ze ondaty mete hanao ty hoe: Ty nafè’ Iehovà; toe ho liloveko rekets’ i anjomba’ey indatiy.
35 You will say everyone to his neighbour, and everyone to his brother, ‘What has the LORD answered?’ and, ‘What has the LORD said?’
Fe songa hifanaontsy ty hoe aman-drañe’e naho aman-drahalahi’e: Ino ty navale’ Iehovà? ndra Ino ty nitsarae’ Iehovà?
36 You will mention the message from the LORD no more, for every man’s own word has become his message; for you have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of Armies, our God.
fe tsy ho tiahi’ areo ty nafè’ Iehovà; fa sambe hisaontsy ty enta’e avao ondatio ho fetse, ie nimengohe’ areo ty tsaran’ Añahare veloñe, Iehovà’ i Màroy, Andrianañaharentikañe.
37 You will say to the prophet, ‘What has the LORD answered you?’ and, ‘What has the LORD spoken?’
Ty hoe ka ty hatao’ areo ami’ty mpitoky: Ino ty natoi’ Iehovà azo? naho Ino ty nitsarae’ Iehovà?
38 Although you say, ‘The message from the LORD,’ therefore the LORD says: ‘Because you say this word, “The message from the LORD,” and I have sent to you, telling you not to say, “The message from the LORD,”
Fe anoe’areo ty hoe: Ty nafè’ Iehovà; le hoe t’Iehovà: kanao taroñe’ areo ty hoe: Ty nafè’ Iehovà, ie nafantoko ama’ areo ty hoe: Tsy ho saontsie’ areo ty hoe: Ty nafè’ Iehovà;
39 therefore behold, I will utterly forget you, and I will cast you off with the city that I gave to you and to your fathers, away from my presence.
Ingo toe handikofako nahareo, haitoako tsy ho añ’ atrefako eo rekets’ i rova natoloko aman-droae’ areoy;
40 I will bring an everlasting reproach on you, and a perpetual shame, which will not be forgotten.’”
vaho hapoko ama’ areo ty inje tsy ho modo naho ty hasalarañe kitro katroke tsy ho haliño.
