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.
Then Yahweh said to me, “Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind would not turn toward this people. Cast them out of my sight, and let them 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.
It will happen when they ask you, ‘Where shall we go out?’ then you shall tell them, ‘Yahweh says: “Such as are for death, to death; such as are for the sword, to the sword; such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as 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;
“I will appoint over them four kinds,” says Yahweh: “the sword to kill, the dogs to tear, the birds of the sky, and the animals of the earth, to devour and to 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.
I will cause them to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, the 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 will have pity on you, Jerusalem? Who will mourn you? Who will come 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 rejected me,” says Yahweh. “You have gone backward. Therefore I have stretched out my hand against you and destroyed you. I am weary of showing compassion.
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.
I have winnowed them with a fan in the gates of the land. I have bereaved them of children. I have destroyed my people. They didn’t return 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.
Their widows are increased more than the sand of the seas. I have brought on them against the mother of the young men a destroyer at noonday. I have caused anguish and terrors 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.
She who has borne seven languishes. She has given up the spirit. Her sun has gone down while it was yet day. She has been disappointed and confounded. I will deliver their residue to the sword before their enemies,” says Yahweh.
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, that you have borne me, a man of strife, and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have not lent, neither have men lent to me; yet every one of them curses 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.
Yahweh said, “Most certainly I will strengthen you for good. Most certainly I will cause the enemy to make supplication to you in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
12 Mety tapaka va ny vy, dia ny vy avy any avaratra, na ny varahina?
Can one break iron, even iron from the north, 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 will give your substance and your treasures for a plunder without price, and that for all your sins, even 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.
I will make them to pass with your enemies into a land which you don’t know; for a fire is kindled in my anger, which will burn on 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.
Yahweh, you know. Remember me, visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors. You are patient, so don’t take me away. Know that for your sake I have suffered 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.
Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart, for I am called by your name, Yahweh, God of Armies.
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 didn’t sit in the assembly of those who make merry and rejoice. I sat alone because of your hand, 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 is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? Will you indeed be to me as a deceitful brook, like waters that fail?
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 Yahweh says, “If you return, then I will bring you again, that you may stand before me; and if you take out the precious from the vile, you will be as my mouth. They will return to you, but you will 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;
I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall. They will fight against you, but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you to save you and to deliver you,” says Yahweh.
21 Ary hanafaka anao amin’ ny tanan’ ny ity ratsy fanahy Aho sy hanavotra anao amin’ ny tanan’ ny mpampahory.
“I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.”
