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 YHWH says to me: “Though Moses and Samuel should stand before Me, My soul is not toward this people, Send from before My face, and they go out.

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 it has come to pass, when they say to you, To where do we go out? That you have said to them, Thus said YHWH: Those who [are] for death—to death, And those who are for the sword—to the sword, And those who are for famine—to famine, And those who are for 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 have appointed four kinds over them,” A declaration of YHWH, “The sword to slay, and the dogs to drag, And the bird of the heavens, And the beast of the earth, to consume and to devour.

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 have given them for a trembling To all kingdoms of the earth, Because of Manasseh son of Hezekiah king of Judah, For that which 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 has pity on you, O Jerusalem? And who bemoans for you? And who turns aside to ask of your welfare?

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.

You have left Me,” A declaration of YHWH, “You go backward, And I stretch out My hand against you, And I destroy you, I have been weary of relenting,

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 scatter them with a fan, In the gates of the land, I have bereaved [them], I have destroyed My people, They did not turn back from 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.

Its widows have been more to Me than the sand of the seas, I brought on them—against the mother—A young man—a spoiler—at noon. I caused wrath and trouble to fall on her suddenly.

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.

The bearer of seven has languished, She has breathed out her spirit, Her sun has gone in while yet day, It has been ashamed and confounded, And I give up their remnant to the sword before their enemies,” A declaration of YHWH.

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 to me, my mother, For you have borne me, A man of strife and a man of contention to all the land, I have not lent on usury, Nor have they lent on usury to me—All of them are reviling 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.

YHWH said, “Did I not direct you for good? Did I not intercede for you in a time of evil, And in a time of adversity, with the enemy?

12 Mety tapaka va ny vy, dia ny vy avy any avaratra, na ny varahina?

Does one break iron, Northern iron and bronze?

13 Ny fanananao sy ny rakitrao ao anatin’ ny fari-taninao rehetra dia hatolotro ho babo maimaimpoana noho ny fahotana rehetra izay nataonao;

I give your strength and your treasures for a prey—not for price, Even for all your sins, and in all your 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 have caused your enemies To pass over into the land [that] You have not known, For a fire has been kindled in My anger, It burns against 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.

You, You have known, O YHWH, Remember me, and inspect me, And take vengeance for me of my pursuers, In Your long-suffering do not take me away, Know [that] I have borne reproach for You.

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.

Your words have been found, and I eat them, And Your word is to me for a joy, And for the rejoicing of my heart, For Your Name is called on me, O YHWH, 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 have not sat in an assembly of deriders, Nor do I exult, because of your hand—I have sat alone, For You have filled me [with] indignation.

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 has my pain been continuous? And my wound incurable? It has refused to be healed, You are surely as a failing stream to me, Waters [that are] not steadfast.

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 said YHWH: “If you turn back, then I bring you back, You stand before Me, And if you bring out the precious from the vile, You are as My mouth! They return to you, And you do not return 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 have made you to this people For a wall—bronze—fortified, And they have fought against you, And they do not prevail against you, For I [am] with you to save you, And to deliver you,” A declaration of YHWH,

21 Ary hanafaka anao amin’ ny tanan’ ny ity ratsy fanahy Aho sy hanavotra anao amin’ ny tanan’ ny mpampahory.

“And I have delivered you from the hand of evildoers, And I have ransomed you From the hand of the terrible!”
