Jeremia 14
1 Ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay tonga tamin’ i Jeremia ny amin’ ny mosary.
That which has been the word of YHWH to Jeremiah concerning the matters of the scarcities:
2 Misaona ny Joda, ary mitanondrika ny vavahadiny; Mitafy lamba fioriana izy ka mipetraka amin’ ny tany; Ary miakatra ny fitarainan’ i Jerosalema.
“Judah has mourned, and her gates have languished, They have mourned to the earth, And the cry of Jerusalem has gone up.
3 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.
And their majestic ones have sent their little ones to the water, They have come to ditches, They have not found water, They have turned back—their vessels empty! They have been ashamed, And have blushed and covered their head.
4 Noho ny fangentan’ ny tany, noho ny tsy nilatsahan’ ny ranonorana taminy, dia menatra ny mpiasa ka misaron-doha.
Because the ground has been broken, For there has been no rain in the land, Farmers have been ashamed, They have covered their head.
5 Ary na dia ny dieravavy any an-tsaha aza, raha miteraka, dia mahafoy noho ny tsi-fisian’ ny ahi-maitso.
For even the doe in the field has brought forth—to forsake [it!] For there has been no grass.
6 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.
And wild donkeys have stood on high places, They have swallowed up wind like dragons, Their eyes have been consumed, for there is no herb.”
7 Ry Jehovah ô, na dia miampanga anay aza ny helokay, miasà ihany Hianao noho ny anaranao; Fa be ny fiodinanay, taminao no nanotanay.
Surely our iniquities have testified against us, O YHWH, work for Your Name’s sake, For our backslidings have been many, We have sinned against You.
8 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?
O Hope of Israel—its Savior in time of trouble, Why are You as a sojourner in the land? And as a traveler turned aside to lodge?
9 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.
Why are You as one mute? As a mighty one not able to save? And You [are] in our midst, O YHWH, And Your Name is called over us, Do not leave us.
10 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.
Thus said YHWH concerning this people: “They have loved to wander well, They have not restrained their feet, And YHWH has not accepted them, Now He remembers their iniquity, And inspects their sin.”
11 Dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Aza mivavaka ho an’ ity firenena ity hahasoa azy.
And YHWH says to me: “You do not pray for this people for good.
12 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.
When they fast, I do not listen to their cry, and when they cause burnt-offering and present to ascend, I do not accept them; for I am consuming them by sword, and by famine, and by pestilence.”
13 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.
And I say, “Aah! Lord YHWH, behold, the prophets are saying to them: You do not see a sword, indeed, famine is not [on] you, for I give true peace to you in this place.”
14 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.
And YHWH says to me: “The prophets are prophesying falsehood in My Name. I did not send them, nor command them, nor have I spoken to them. A false vision, and divination, and vanity—indeed, they are prophesying the deceit of their own heart to you.
15 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.
Therefore, thus said YHWH concerning the prophets who are prophesying in My Name and I have not sent them, and they are saying, Sword and famine is not in this land: By sword and by famine are these prophets consumed.
16 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.
And the people to whom they are prophesying are cast into out-places of Jerusalem, because of the famine and the sword, and they have none burying them—them, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters—and I have poured out their evil on them.
17 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.
And you have said this word to them: Tears come down my eyes night and day, And they do not cease, For [with] a great breach, The virgin daughter of my people has been broken, A very grievous stroke.
18 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.
If I have gone forth to the field, Then, behold, the pierced of the sword! And if I have entered the city, Then, behold, the diseased of famine! For both prophet and priest have gone up and down To a land that they did not know.”
19 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.
Have You utterly rejected Judah? Has Your soul loathed Zion? Why have You struck us, And there is no healing to us? Looking for peace, and there is no good, And for a time of healing, and behold, terror.
20 Jehovah ô, tsaroanay ny faharatsianay sy ny heloky ny razanay; Fa efa nanota taminao izahay.
We have known, O YHWH, our wickedness, The iniquity of our fathers, For we have sinned against You.
21 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.
Do not despise, for Your Name’s sake, Do not dishonor the throne of Your glory, Remember, do not break Your covenant with us.
22 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.
Are there any among the vanities of the nations causing rain? And do the heavens give showers? Are You not He, O our God YHWH? And we wait for you, for You have done all these!
