Jeremia 11
1 Izao no teny tonga tamin’ i Jeremia avy tamin’ i Jehovah:
The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 Mihainoa ny tenin’ izao fanekena izao ianareo, ary mitenena amin’ ny Joda sy amin’ ny mponina any Jerosalema,
Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
3 Ary ataovy aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: ho voaozona izay olona tsy mankatò ny tenin’ izao fanekena izao,
And say thou unto them, Thus hath said the Lord God of Israel, Cursed be the man that hearkeneth not to the words of this covenant,
4 Izay nandidiako ny razanareo tamin’ ny andro nitondrako azy nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta, dia avy tao amin’ ny memy fandrendreham-by, ka nanaovako hoe: Mihainoa ny feoko, ary mankatoava ireny araka izay rehetra andidiako anareo, dia ho oloko ianareo, ary Izaho kosa ho Andriamanitrareo,
Which I commanded your fathers on the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, Hearken to my voice, and do the same, in accordance with all which I may command you; and so shall ye be to me for a people, and I will be to you for a God;
5 Mba hotoviko ny fianianana izay nianianako tamin’ ny razanareo, dia ny hanomezana azy tany tondra-dronono sy tantely tahaka ny amin’ izao anio izao. Dia namaly aho ka nanao hoe: Ho izany tokoa anie, Jehovah ô!
In order that I may fulfill the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give unto them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. And I answered, and said, So be it, O Lord.
6 Ary hoy Jehovah tamiko: Torio any an-tanànan’ ny Joda sy any an-dalamben’ i Jerosalema Izany teny rehetra izany, ka lazao hoe: Henoy ny tenin’ izao fanekena izao, ka ankatoavy izy.
Then said the Lord unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them.
7 Fa nananatra mafy ny razanareo Aho tamin’ ny andro nitondrako azy nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta ka ambaraka androany; Eny, nifoha maraina koa Aho ka nananatra hoe: Mihainoa ny feoko.
For I earnestly warned your fathers on the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt even until this day, sending out early and warning, saying, Hearken to my voice;
8 Nefa tsy nihaino izy na nanongilana ny sofiny, fa samy nandeha tamin’ ny ditry ny fo ratsiny ihany izy; Ka dia nataoko mihatra aminy ny teny rehetra amin’ izao fanekena izao, ilay nasaiko nataony, nefa tsy nataony.
Yet they hearkened not, and inclined not their ear, but walked every one in the stubbornness of their evil heart: therefore did I bring over them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but which they did not.
9 Ary hoy koa Jehovah tamiko: Misy tetika fikomiana hita ao amin’ ny Joda sy amin’ ny mponina any Jerosalema.
And the Lord said unto me, A conspiracy hath been found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
10 Fa izy niverina nankamin’ ny heloky ny razany, izay tsy nety nihaino ny teniko, ary lasa nanaraka andriamani-kafa izy ka nanompo azy; Ny taranak’ Isiraely sy ny taranak’ i Joda efa nivadika ny fanekeko, izay nataoko tamin’ ny razany.
They are returned again to the iniquities of their earlier forefathers, who had refused to hearken to my words; and they themselves are [also] gone after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.
11 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, Izaho hahatonga loza aminy, izay tsy azony handosirana; Ary na dia hitaraina amiko aza izy, dia tsy hihaino azy Aho.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will bring an evil upon them, from which they shall not be able to rid themselves; and they will cry unto me, but I will not hearken unto them.
12 Dia handeha ny tanànan’ ny Joda sy ny mponina any Jerosalema ka hitaraina amin’ ireny andriamaniny, izay efa nandoroany ditin-kazo manitra; Nefa ireny tsy hahavonjy azy akory amin’ ny andro fahoriany.
Then let the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense; but they shall not save them in the least in the time of their distress.
13 Fa araka ny isan’ ny tanànanao, ry Joda, no isan’ ny andriamanitrao, Ary araka ny isan’ ny lalamben’ i Jerosalema no isan’ ny alitara naorinareo ho an’ ilay mampahamenatra. Dia alitara handoroana ditin-kazo manitra ho an’ i Bala.
For equal to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and equal to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to the disgraceful idol, altars, to burn incense unto Ba'al.
14 Koa aza mivavaka ho an’ ity firenena ity ianao, ary aza manandratra fitarainana na fifonana ho azy; Fa amin’ ny andro izay hitarainany amiko noho ny fahoriany dia tsy hihaino azy Aho.
But thou—thou must not pray in behalf of this people, neither lift up in their behalf entreaty or prayer; for I will not hear at the time that they call unto me, because of their distress.
15 Hanao inona ao an-tranoko ny malalako fa efa namoron-tsain-dratsy niaraka tamin’ ny maro izy, ary ny hena masìna dia esorina aminao; Raha azon-doza ianao, mifalia ary!
What hath my beloved to do in my house, while she executeth the evil counsel of so many [sinners]? Yea, the holy flesh passeth away from thee; for even with thy wickedness, thou rejoicest still.
16 Hazo oliva maitso sady misy voany maha-te-hizaha no nataon’ i Jehovah anaranao; Tamin’ ny fihorakorahana be no nandrehetany afo taminy, ary notapahina ny rantsany.
An ever-green olive-tree, beautiful in fruit and form, did the Lord call thy name: with the noise of a great tumult hath he kindled fire around it, and they break off its branches.
17 Fa Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Izay namboly anao, no nanambara ny loza hanjo anao, noho ny ratsy nataon’ ny taranak’ Isiraely sy ny taranak’ i Joda, Izay nahavoa ny tenany ka nahatezitra Ahy. Dia tamin’ ny nandoroany ditin-kazo manitra ho an’ i Bala.
And the Lord of hosts, that planted thee, hath decreed evil against thee; on account of the wickedness of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves, to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Ba'al.
18 Ary nampahafantarin’ i Jehovah aho, ka dia nahalala; Tamin’ izany dia nasehonao ahy ny fanaony.
And the Lord hath given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then didst thou let me see their doings.
19 Fa izaho dia tahaka ny zanak’ ondry bonaika, izay entina hovonoina; Ary tsy fantatro fa izao no tetika nataony namelezany ahy: Aoka hosimbantsika ny hazo mbamin’ ny voany, ary aoka hofongorantsika hiala amin’ ny tanin’ ny velona izy, mba tsy hotsarovana intsony ny anarany.
But I was like a sheep or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, [saying, ] “Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may not be remembered any more.”
20 Nefa, ry Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro ô, Izay mitsara marina ka mamantatra ny voa sy ny fo aoka ho hitako ny famalianao azy; Fa aminao no efa nanankinako ny adiko.
But, O Lord of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them; for unto thee have I entrusted my cause.
21 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah ny amin’ ny mponina ao Anatota, izay mitady ny ainao ka manao hoe: Aza maminany amin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah, fandrao matin’ ny tananay ianao,
Therefore thus hath said the Lord concerning the men of 'Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, “Thou shalt not prophesy in the name of the Lord, that thou mayest not die by our hand:”
22 izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Indro, hovaliako Izy, ka ny zatovo ho fatin-tsabatra, ary ny zananilahy sy ny zananivavy ho fati-mosary;
Therefore thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will inflict punishment on them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by the famine;
23 Ka tsy hisy hiangana izy; Fa hahatonga loza amin’ ny mponina ao Anatota Aho amin’ ny taona hamaliana azy.
And no remnant shall remain of them; for I will bring evil upon the men of 'Anathoth, in the year of their punishment.
