Jeremiah 4
1 If thou dost turn back, O Israel, An affirmation of Jehovah, unto Me turn back, And if thou dost turn aside Thine abominations from My face, Then thou dost not bemoan.
Ie mimpoly irehe, ry Israele, hoe t’Iehovà, le mimpolia amako, naho asitaho añ’atrefako eo o raha tìva’oo, vaho ko mitroetroe,
2 And thou hast sworn — Jehovah liveth, In truth, in judgment, and in righteousness, And blessed themselves in Him have nations, And in Him they boast themselves.
naho ifanta’o ty hoe: Amy te veloñe t’Iehovà! ami’ty fahiti’e naho ty hatò’e naho ty havañonañe, le ie ty hifampitata’ o fifeheañeo vaho hifampirengea’ iareo.
3 For thus said Jehovah, To the man of Judah, and to Jerusalem: Till for yourselves tillage, And do not sow unto the thorns.
Fa hoe t’Iehovà am’ondati’ Iehodào naho am’ Ierosalaime: Trabatrabàho o moka’ areoo, vaho ko mitongy amo fatikeo.
4 Be circumcised to Jehovah, And turn aside the foreskins of your heart, O man of Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, Lest My fury go out as fire, and hath burned, And there is none quenching, Because of the evil of your doings.
Misavara ho am’ Iehovà, afaho ty ofoke añ’arofo’ areo ao, ry ondati’ Iehodào naho mpimoneñe e Ierosalaimeo, tsy mone hionjom-beo hoe afo ty habosehako, hisolebatse tsy mete vonoeñe, ami’ty hatsivokara’ o sata’areoo.
5 Declare in Judah, and in Jerusalem sound, And say ye, 'Blow a trumpet in the land,' Call ye fully, and say ye: 'Be gathered, and we go in to the fenced city.'
Kaikaiho e Iehodà ao, naho tseizo e Ierosalaime ao, ty hoe: Popòho amy taney ao ty antsiva; mifanontona, antao himoake amo rova fatratseo!
6 Lift up an ensign Zionward, Strengthen yourselves, stand not still, For evil I am bringing in from the north, And a great destruction.
Atroaro mb’e Tsione ty viloñe, mipalira, ko mihenekeneke, fa minday hekoheko boak’ avaratse añe iraho, naho fandrotsahañe jabajaba.
7 Gone up hath a lion from his thicket, And a destroyer of nations hath journeyed, He hath come forth from his place To make thy land become a desolation, Thy cities are laid waste, without inhabitant.
Fa niakatse an-drongoñe ao ty liona, fa nionjoñe i mpandrotsake fifeheañey, fa niavotse an-toe’e ao hampangoakoake ty tane’o, ho harakarake avao o rova’oo, tsy ho amam-pimoneñe.
8 For this, gird on sackcloth, lament and howl, For the fierce anger of Jehovah hath not turned back from us.
Ie amy zay, misikina gony, miroveta, vaho mangololoiha: Fa mboe tsy nivike aman-tika ty haviñera’Iehovà.
9 And it hath come to pass, in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah: 'Perish doth the heart of the king, And the heart of the princes, And astonished have been the priests, And the prophets do wonder.'
Amy andro zay, hoe t’Iehovà, te hilesa ty fahavania’ i mpanjakay naho o roandriañeo; ho latsa o mpisoroñeo vaho ho veren-draha o mpitokio.
10 And I say, 'Ah, Lord Jehovah, Surely thou hast entirely forgotten this people and Jerusalem, saying, Peace is for you, And struck hath a sword unto the soul!'
Aa le hoe iraho, Ry Talè, Iehovà, akore te nifañahie’o ondaty retoa naho Ierosalaime, amy ty hoe: Hanintsiñe nahareo, ie fa totofem-pibara ty fiaiñe!
11 At that time it is said of this people, And of Jerusalem: 'A dry wind of high places in the wilderness,' The way of the daughter of My people, (Not for winnowing, nor for cleansing, )
Ie amy zay ho taroñeñe am’ondaty retoa naho am’ Ierosalaime ty hoe: Ho hirik’ ankaboa’ i liolio am-patrambeiy ty tioke mihoboboke mb’amo anak’ ampela’ ondatikoo, tsy t’ie hanonga ndra hañororoke—
12 A full wind from these doth come for Me, Now, also, I speak judgments with them.
tioke lombolombo izay ty homb’eo boak’ amako; fa hivolañako zaka henaneo.
13 Lo, as clouds he cometh up, And as a hurricane his chariots, Lighter than eagles have been his horses, Woe to us, for we have been spoiled.
Heheke! Mionjoñe hoe rahon-dre, o sarete’eo hoe tangololahy; masika ta ty vantio o soavala’eo— feh’ohatse tika! fa mianto!
14 Wash from evil thy heart, O Jerusalem, That thou mayest be saved, Till when dost thou lodge in thy heart Thoughts of thy strength?
Ry Ierosalaime, sasao añ’arofo’o ao o haloloañeo soa te ho rombaheñe, pak’ombia te mbe himoneñe ama’o ao o fikililia’o ratio?
15 For a voice is declaring from Dan, And sounding sorrow from mount Ephraim.
Inao, mikoike boak’e Dane añe ty fiarañanañañe; vaho mitsey hankàñe ty boak’ am-bohi’ Efraime añe.
16 Make ye mention to the nations, Lo, sound ye to Jerusalem: 'Besiegers are coming from the land afar off, And they give forth against cities of Judah their voice.
Talilio o fifeheañeo, henaneo! ikoiho am’Ierosalaime; hirike tsietoitane añe o mpañarikatokeo hipoña-peo amo rova’ Iehodào.
17 As the keepers of a field They have been against her round about, For with Me she hath been rebellious, An affirmation of Jehovah.'
Fa niarikoboña’ iareo manahake o mpivoñon-tondao, amy t’ie niola amako, hoe t’Iehovà.
18 Thy way and thy doings have done these to thee, This [is] thy vexation, for [it is] bitter, For it hath struck unto thy heart.
O sata’oo naho o fitoloña’oo ty naneseañe o raha zao; hankàñe ama’o; akore ty hafai’e! kanao mahatakatse ty arofo’o.
19 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained [at] the walls of my heart, Make a noise for me doth My heart, I am not silent, For the voice of a trumpet I have heard, O my soul — a shout of battle!
Ty añ’ovako, ty añ’ovako! ty haloviloviako! Hete! Ty troko! Ty troko! Midebodebo amako ao; izaho tsy mahafitsiñe; amy te ihe, fiaiko, ty nahatsanoñe i fipopòn’ antsivay, i kaik’ aliy.
20 Destruction on destruction is proclaimed, For spoiled hath been all the land, Suddenly spoiled have been my tents, In a moment — my curtains.
Vinonje’ ty hekoheko ty hankàñe, fonga nimongoreñe i taney; rotsake ami’ty manao zao o kibohokoo, ami’ty tsi-maemae-laletse o rindrin-kivohokoo.
21 Till when do I see an ensign? Do I hear the voice of a trumpet?
Ampara’ te ombia ty mbe hahatreavako i viloñey, ty hahatsanoñako ty feo i antsivay?
22 For my people [are] foolish, me they have not known, Foolish sons [are] they, yea, they [are] not intelligent, Wise [are] they to do evil, And to do good they have not known.
Toe dereñe ondatikoo, tsy mahafohiñe ahy; ajaja minè, tsy mahilala. Kante an-katsivokarañe, ie tsy mahay manao soa.
23 I looked [to] the land, and lo, waste and void, And unto the heavens, and their light is not.
Nenteako ty tane toy t'ie nihoake tsy amam-bintañe, vaho mb’ andikeramb’eo fe nipo-kazavàñe ty ey.
24 I have looked [to] the mountains, And lo, they are trembling. And all the hills moved themselves lightly.
Nenteako o vohitseo le nizoeko te niezeñezeñe, vaho fonga nivembèñe o haboañeo.
25 I have looked, and lo, man is not, And all fowls of the heavens have fled.
Nenteako le hehe t’ie tsy ama’ ondaty, leo raike, vaho hene niborofotse o voron-tiokeo.
26 I have looked, and lo, The fruitful place [is] a wilderness, And all its cities have been broken down, Because of Jehovah, Because of the fierceness of His anger.
Nenteako, le ingo te paimpaiñe i tane ni-kobokaray, fonga narotsake añatrefa’ Iehovà o rovao, aolo’ ty haviñera’e miforoforo.
27 For thus said Jehovah: All the land is a desolation, but a completion I make not.
Fa hoe t’Iehovà: Ho koake iaby i taney fe tsy ho fonga mongoreko.
28 For this doth the land mourn, And black have been the heavens above, because I have spoken — I have purposed, And I have not repented, Nor do I turn back from it.
Handala’ ty tane toy, naho haieñe o likerañe eñeo; ty amo volakoo; naereñereko, le tsy hiheve, vaho tsy hibalihako.
29 From the voice of the horseman, And of him shooting with the bow, all the city is fleeing, They have come into thickets, And on cliffs they have gone up, All the city is forsaken, And there is no one dwelling in them.
Songa mivoratsake ty lay o rovao ami’ty fikoraha’ o mpiningi- tsoavalao naho o mpitàm-paleo, iziliha’ iareo ty matahetse; anganiha’ iareo o vatovatoeñeo; nengañe hoake iaby o rovao, leo ondaty raike tsy mimoneñe ao.
30 And thou, O spoiled one, what dost thou? For thou puttest on scarlet, For thou adornest thyself [with] ornaments of gold. For thou rendest with pain thine eyes, In vain thou dost make thyself fair, Kicked against thee have doting ones, Thy life they do seek.
Le ihe tinavañey, Ino ty atao’o kanao misiki-mena mañabasà, naho miravake bange volamena, vaho ampiboenare’o loko o maso’oo? Tsy vente ty ihamina’o vatañe, songa malaiñe azo o sipa’oo, toe hañè-doza ama’o.
31 For a voice as of a sick woman I have heard, Distress, as of one bringing forth a first-born, The voice of the daughter of Zion, She bewaileth herself, she spreadeth out her hands, 'Woe to me now, for weary is my soul of slayers!'
Fa nahatsanoñe hoe fikoiahan’ ampela mitsongo iraho, ty fanaintaiña’ i misamake i tañoloñolo’eiy, ty fikoiaha’ ty ana’ i Tsione misehaseha, mañiti-tañampolo manao ty hoe: Hankàñe amako! Mitoirañe añatrefa’ o mpamonoo ty fiaiko!
