Jeremiah 7
1 The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
Izao no teny tonga tamin’ i Jeremia avy tamin’ i Jehovah:
2 Stand in the gate of the house of Jehovah, and thou hast proclaimed there this word, and hast said, Hear a word of Jehovah, all ye of Judah, who are coming in at these gates, to bow before Jehovah:
Mitsangana eo am-bavahadin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah, ary torio eo izao teny izao, ka ataovy hoe: Mihainoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah ianareo, ry Joda rehetra, izay miditra amin’ ireto vavahady ireto mba hiankohoka eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.
3 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Amend your ways, and your doings, And I cause you to dwell in this place.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Ataovy tsara ny lalanareo sy ny ataonareo, dia hamponeniko amin’ ity tany ity ianareo.
4 Do not trust for yourselves Unto the words of falsehood, saying, The temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah, The temple of Jehovah [are] they!
Aza matoky ny teny lainga hoe: Tempolin’ i Jehovah, tempolin’ i Jehovah, Tempolin’ i Jehovah ity.
5 For, if ye do thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, If ye do judgment thoroughly Between a man and his neighbour,
Fa raha ataonareo tsara mihitsy ny lalanareo sy ny ataonareo, ka mitsara marina ny adin’ olona amin’ ny namany ianareo,
6 Sojourner, fatherless, and widow, ye oppress not, And innocent blood do not shed in this place, And after other gods do not walk, for evil to yourselves,
Ary tsy mampahory ny vahiny sy ny kamboty sy ny mpitondratena, na mandatsaka rà marina amin’ ity tany ity, sady tsy manaraka andriamani-kafa hahatonga loza aminareo,
7 Then I have caused you to dwell in this place, In the land that I gave to your fathers, From age even unto age.
Dia hamponeniko amin’ ity tany ity ihany ianareo, dia eto amin’ ny tany nomeko ny razanareo, hatramin’ ny ela ka ho mandrakizay.
8 Lo, ye are trusting for yourselves On the words of falsehood, so as not to profit.
He! ianareo matoky ny teny lainga, nefa tsy mahasoa tsinona izany.
9 Stealing, murdering, and committing adultery, And swearing to falsehood, and giving perfume to Baal, And going after other gods whom ye knew not.
Hay! hangalatra sy hamono olona sy hijangajanga va ianareo ary hianian-tsy tò sy handoro ditin-kazo manitra ho an’ i Bala sady hanaraka andriamani-kafa izay tsy fantatrareo?
10 And ye have come in and stood before Me, In this house on which My name is called, And have said, 'We have been delivered,' In order to do all these abominations.
Nefa mbola avy miseho ao anatrehako amin’ ity trano izay efa niantsoana ny anarako ity ihany ianareo ka manao hoe: Efa voavonjy izahay mba hanaovana ireto fahavetavetana rehetra ireto!
11 A den of burglars hath this house, On which My name is called, been in your eyes? Even I, lo, I have seen, an affirmation of Jehovah.
Moa ataonareo ho zohy fieren’ ny jiolahy va ity trano izay efa niantsoana ny anarako ity? Indro, ny tenako aza dia mahita izany, hoy Jehovah.
12 But go ye, I pray you, Unto My place that [is] in Shiloh, Where I caused My name to dwell at first, And see that which I have done to it, For the wickedness of My people Israel.
Fa mandehana ianareo any amin’ ny fitoerako izay ao Silo, dia ilay nasiako ny anarako any am-boalohany, ka jereo izay nataoko taminy noho ny haratsian’ ny Isiraely oloko.
13 And now, because of your doing all these works, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I speak unto you, rising early and speaking, And ye have not hearkened, And I call you, and ye have not answered,
Koa ankehitriny, hoy Jehovah, satria nanao izany zavatra rehetra izany ianareo, ary niteny taminareo Aho, eny, nifoha maraina koa ka niteny taminareo, nefa tsy nohenoinareo, ary niantso anareo Aho, nefa tsy novalianareo,
14 I also to the house on which My name is called, In which ye are trusting, And to the place that I gave to you, and to your fathers, Have done, as I have done to Shiloh.
Koa dia ho toy ny nataoko tamin’ i Silo no hataoko amin’ ny trano izay efa niantsoana ny anarako sady itokianareo, sy amin’ ny fitoerana izay nomeko anareo sy ny razanareo;
15 And I have cast you from before My face, As I have cast out all your brethren, The whole seed of Ephraim.
Ary hesoriko hiala eto anatrehako ianareo toy ny nanesorako ny rahalahinareo rehetra, dia ny taranak’ i Efraima rehetra.
16 And thou dost not pray for this people, Nor lift up for them crying and prayer, Nor intercede with Me, for I hear thee not.
Koa aza mivavaka ho an’ ity firenena ity ianao, ary aza manandratra fitarainana sy fivavahana ho azy na mifona amiko; Fa tsy hihaino anao Aho.
17 Art thou not seeing what they are doing In cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem?
Tsy hitanao va ny ataon’ ireo any an-tanànan’ ny Joda sy any an-dalamben’ i Jerosalema?
18 The sons are gathering wood, And the fathers are causing the fire to burn, And the women are kneading dough, To make cakes to the queen of the heavens, And to pour out libations to other gods, So as to provoke Me to anger.
Ny zaza manangon-kitay, ny ray mandrehitra afo, ary ny vehivavy mametafeta ny koba hatao mofo ho an’ ny mpanjakavavin’ ny lanitra sy hanidinana fanatitra aidina ho an’ ny andriamani-kafa mba hampahasosotra Ahy.
19 Me are they provoking to anger? an affirmation of Jehovah, Is it not themselves, For the shame of their own faces?
Moa Izaho va no ampahasosorin’ ireo, hoy Jehovah, fa tsy ny tenany ihany mba ho fangaihainy?
20 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah, Lo, Mine anger and My fury is poured out on this place, On man, and beast, and on tree of the field, And on fruit of the ground, And it hath burned, and it is not quenched.
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo: Indro, ny fahatezerako sy ny fahavinirako haidina amin’ ity tany ity, dia amin’ ny olona sy ny biby fiompy sy ny hazo any an-tsaha ary ny vokatry ny tany; Dia hirehitra izany ka tsy hovonoina.
21 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Your burnt-offerings add to your sacrifices, And eat ye flesh.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Aoka ny fanatitra dorana ho naman’ ny fanatitrareo hafa alatsa-drà, ka mihinàna hena.
22 For I did not speak with your fathers, Nor did I command them in the day of My bringing them out of the land of Egypt, Concerning the matters of burnt-offering and sacrifice,
Fa tsy ny amin’ ny fanatitra dorana sy ny fanatitra hafa no nitenenako tamin’ ny razanareo na nandidiako azy tamin’ ny andro nitondrako azy nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta;
23 But this thing I commanded them, saying: Hearken to My voice, And I have been to you for God, And ye — ye are to Me for a people, And have walked in all the way that I command you, So that it is well for you.
Fa izao kosa no nandidiako azy: Henoy ny feoko. Dia ho Andriamanitrareo Aho, ary ianareo ho oloko ka handeha amin’ ny lalana rehetra nandidiako anareo, mba hahitanareo soa.
24 And they have not hearkened, nor inclined their ear, And they walk in the counsels, In the stubbornness, of their evil heart, And are for backward, and not for forward.
Kanjo tsy nihaino izy na nanongilana ny sofiny, fa nandeha tamin’ ny fisainany sy ny ditry ny fo ratsiny ihany izy dia niamboho, fa tsy mba nanatrika.
25 Even from the day when your fathers Went out of the land of Egypt till this day, I send to you all my servants the prophets, Daily rising early and sending,
Hatramin’ ny andro nivoahan’ ny razanareo avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta ka ambaraka androany dia nirahiko ho any aminareo ihany ny mpaminany mpanompoko rehetra, eny, nifoha maraina koa isan’ andro Aho ka naniraka azy mandrakariva.
26 And they have not hearkened unto Me, Nor inclined their ear, and harden their neck, They have done evil above their fathers.
Nefa tsy nihaino Ahy izy ireo sady tsy nanongilana ny sofiny, fa nanamafy ny hatony ka nanao ratsy mihoatra noho ny razany aza.
27 And thou hast spoken unto them all these words, And they do not hearken to thee, And thou hast called unto them, And they do not answer thee.
Ary na dia holazainao aminy aza ireo teny rehetra ireo, dia tsy hihaino anao izy; Ary na dia antsoinao aza izy, dia tsy hamaly anao.
28 And thou hast said unto them: This [is] the nation that hath not hearkened, To the voice of Jehovah its God, Nor have they accepted instruction, Perished hath stedfastness, Yea, it hath been cut off from their mouth.
Koa lazao aminy hoe: Ity no firenena tsy mihaino feon’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny sady tsy mino anatra; Very ny fahamarinana, fa afaka tamin’ ny vavany.
29 Cut off thy crown, and cast [it] away, And lift up on high places lamentation, For Jehovah hath rejected, And He leaveth the generation of His wrath.
Hetezo ny volonao, ry Jerosalema, ka ario, ary manaova hira fahalahelovana any an-tendrombohitra mangadihady, satria lavin’ i Jehovah sy afoiny ny taranaka mahatezitra Azy.
30 For the sons of Judah Have done the evil thing in Mine eyes, An affirmation of Jehovah, They have set their abominations in the house On which My name is called — to defile it,
Fa manao izay ratsy eo imasoko ny taranak’ i Joda, hoy Jehovah, mametraka ny fahavetavetany ao amin’ ny trano izay efa niantsoana ny anarako izy mba handoto azy.
31 And have built the high places of Tophet, That [are] in the valley of the son of Hinnom, To burn their sons and their daughters with fire, Which I did not command, Nor did it come up on My heart.
Ary izy nanorina ireo fitoerana avo any Tofeta, izay ao amin’ ny lohasahan’ ny taranak’ i Hinema, handoroany ny zananilahy sy ny zananivavy amin’ ny afo; Nefa zavatra tsy mba nandidiako na tao an-tsaiko akory aza izany.
32 Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And it is not said any more, 'The Tophet,' And 'Valley of the son of Hinnom,' But 'Valley of the slaughter,' And they have buried in Tophet — without place.
Koa, indro, avy ny andro, hoy Jehovah, izay tsy hanaovana azy intsony hoe Tofeta, na Lohasahan’ ny taranak’ i Hinoma, fa Lohasaha Famonoana kosa. Ary any Tofeta aza no handevenana noho ny hateren’ ny tany.
33 And the carcase of this people hath been for food To a fowl of the heavens, and to a beast of the earth, And there is none troubling.
Ary ny fatin’ ity firenena ity dia ho fihinan’ ny voro-manidina sy ny bibidia, ka tsy hisy hanaitaitra azy.
34 And I have caused to cease from cities of Judah, And from streets of Jerusalem, The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, Voice of bridegroom, and voice of bride, For the land doth become a desolation!
Dia hatsahatro any an-tanànan’ ny Joda sy eny an-dalamben’ i Jerosalema ny feo mifaly sy ny feo miravoravo, dia ny feon’ ny mpampakatra sy ny feon’ ny ampakarina; Fa ho lao ny tany.
