Jeremia 15
1 Ary hoy Jehovah tamiko: Na dia Mosesy sy Samoela aza no mitsangana eto anatrehako, dia tsy hankasitraka ity firenena ity ny fanahiko; roahy tsy ho eo anatrehako izy, eny, aoka hiala izy.
And the Lord said to me: If Moses and Samuel shall stand before me, my soul is not towards this people: cast them out from my sight, and let them go forth.
2 Ary raha tàhiny izy manao aminao hoe: Hiala hankaiza izahay? dia ataovy aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Izay ho amin’ ny areti-mandringana dia ho amin’ ny areti-mandringana, ary izay ho amin’ ny sabatra dia ho amin’ ny sabatra, ary izay ho amin’ ny mosary dia ho amin’ ny mosary, ary izay ho amin’ ny fahababoana dia ho amin’ ny fahababoana.
And if they shall say unto thee: Whither shall we go forth? thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord: Such as are for death, to death: and such as are to the sword, to the sword: and such as are for famine, to famine: and such as are to captivity, to captivity.
3 Ary manendry zavatra efatra karazana Aho hamelezana azy, hoy Jehovah: Dia ny sabatra hamono sy ny amboa hamiravira ary ny voro-manidina sy ny bibi-dia hihinana sy handany;
And I will visit them with four kinds, saith the Lord: The sword to kill, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the air, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.
4 Ary manolotra azy ho mpanjenjena any amin’ ny fanjakana rehetra amin’ ny tany Aho noho ny amin’ i Manase, zanak’ i Hezekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, dia noho izay nataony tany Jerosalema.
And I will give them up to the rage of all the kingdoms of the earth: because of Manasses the son of Ezechias the king of Juda, for all that he did in Jerusalem.
5 Fa iza no hangoraka anao, ry Jerosalema? Ary iza no hitsapa alahelo anao? Ary iza no hivily hanantsafa anao?
For who shall have pity on thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go to pray for thy peace?
6 Hianao efa nahafoy Ahy sady efa nihemotra, hoy Jehovah, ka dia ahinjitro kosa ny tanako hamely anao, ka efa mandringana anao Aho, fa efa sasatra ny mandefitra.
Thou hast forsaken me, saith the Lord, thou art gone backward: and I will stretch out my hand against thee, and I will destroy thee: I am weary of entreating thee.
7 Ary kororohiko amin’ ny fikororohana izy ho any amin’ ny vava-tany; Ary foanako anaka ny oloko, eny, aringako izy tsy mety miala amin’ ny fanaony mba hiverina izy.
And I will scatter them with a fan in the gates of the land: I have killed and destroyed my people, and yet they are not returned form their ways.
8 Ny mpitondratenany mihamaro eo imasoko mihoatra noho ny fasika any an-dranomasina; Mitondra mpandringana ho ao aminy Aho handripaka ny renin’ ny zatovo, na dia mitataovovonana aza ny andro; Ataoko tonga tampoka aminy ny fanaintainana sy ny tahotra.
Their widows are multiplied unto me above the sand of the sea: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young man a spoiler at noonday: I have cast a terror on a sudden upon the cities.
9 Izay niteraka fito dia mihaosa, miala aina izy, milentika mbola antoandro ny masoandrony, menarina sy mangaihay izy; Ary izay sisa aminy dia hatolotro ho voan’ ny sabatra eo anoloan’ ny fahavalony, hoy Jehovah.
She that hath borne seven is become weak, her soul hath fainted away: her sun is gone down, while it was yet day: she is confounded, and ashamed: and the residue of them I will give up to the sword in the sight of their enemies, saith the Lord.
10 Lozako, ry neny, ny niterahanao ahy, Izay lehilahy ilana ady sy fifandirana eny amin’ ny tany rehetra! Tsy nampanàna vola aho, ary tsy nisy nanàna vola tamiko, nefa ozonin’ ny olona rehetra ihany aho.
Woe is me, my mother: why hast thou borne me a man of strife, a man of contention to all the earth? I have not lent on usury, neither hath any man lent to me on usury: yet all curse me.
11 Dia hoy Jehovah: Nahafaka anao Aho hahasoa anao; Hataoko tonga mifona aminao tokoa ny fahavalo amin’ ny andro ahitan-doza sy amin’ izay andro mahory.
The Lord saith to me: Assuredly it shall be well with thy remnant, assuredly I shall help thee in the time of affliction, and in the time of tribulation against the enemy.
12 Mety tapaka va ny vy, dia ny vy avy any avaratra, na ny varahina?
Shall iron be allied with the iron from the north, and the brass?
13 Ny fanananao sy ny rakitrao ao anatin’ ny fari-taninao rehetra dia hatolotro ho babo maimaimpoana noho ny fahotana rehetra izay nataonao;
Thy riches and thy treasures I will give unto spoil for nothing, because of all thy sins, even in all thy borders.
14 Ary hampitondraiko ny fahavalonao ho any amin’ ny tany tsy fantatrao izany; Fa arehitra ny afon’ ny fahatezerako, ka handoro anareo no irehetany.
And I will bring thy enemies out of a land, which thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in my rage, it shall burn upon you.
15 Hianao no mahalala, Jehovah ô; Tsarovy aho, ka vangio, ary valio izay manenjika ahy; Aza dia mandefitra aminy Hianao, fandrao ho afaka ny aiko; Aoka ho fantatrao fa noho ny aminao no nitondrako latsa.
O Lord, thou knowest, remember me, and visit me, and defend me from them that persecute me, do not defend me in thy patience: know that for thy sake I have sufferred reproach.
16 Hitako ny teninao ka nohaniko, ary ny teninao no fifaliako sy firavoravoan’ ny foko; Fa nantsoina tamin’ ny anaranao aho, Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro ô.
Thy words were found, and I did eat them, and thy word was to me a joy and gladness of my heart: for thy name is called upon me, O Lord God of hosts.
17 Izaho tsy nipetraka na nifaly teo amin’ ny fivorian’ ny mpikorana, nitoetra irery aho noho ny fihazonan’ ny tananao ahy, fa nofenoinao fahatezerana aho.
I sat not in the assembly of jesters, nor did I make a boast of the presence of thy hand: I sat alone, because thou hast filled me with threats.
18 Nahoana re no dia tsy mety mitsahatra ny faharariako, ary fatratra ny feriko ka tsy mety sitrana? Ho tonga amiko tahaka ny rano-trambo va Hianao, dia rano tsy azo itokiana?
Why is my sorrow become perpetual, and my wound desperate so as to refuse to be healed? it is become to me as the falsehood of deceitful waters that cannot be trusted.
19 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Raha hiverina ianao, dia horaisiko indray, ka dia hitsangana eo anatrehako ianao; Ary raha manavaka ny zava-tsoa hiala amin’ ny zava-poana ianao, dia ho solom-bavako; Hanatona anao indray ireny; Fa tsy ianao no hanatona azy,
Therefore thus saith the Lord: If thou wilt be converted, I will convert thee, and thou shalt stand before my face; and if thou wilt separate the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: they shall be turned to thee, and thou shalt not be turned to them.
20 Ary hataoko manda varahina mirova ho amin’ ity firenena ity ianao: Hiady aminao izy, nefa tsy hahaleo anao; Fa momba anao hamonjy sy hanafaka anao Aho, hoy Jehovah;
And I will make thee to this people as a strong wall of brass: and they shall fight against thee, and shall not prevail: for I am with thee to save thee, and to deliver thee, saith the Lord.
21 Ary hanafaka anao amin’ ny tanan’ ny ity ratsy fanahy Aho sy hanavotra anao amin’ ny tanan’ ny mpampahory.
And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the mighty.
