Jeremia 17
1 Ny fahotan’ ny Joda dia voasoratra tamin’ ny fanoratana sy tamin’ ny diamondra fanoratana; voasoratra ao am-pony tahaka ny amin’ ny vato fisaka sy eo amin’ ny tandroky ny alitarany izany,
Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and will lean his arm of flesh upon him, while his heart departs from the Lord.
2 Dia amin’ izay hahatsiarovan’ ny zanany ny alitarany sy ny Aserahany, akaikin’ ny hazo maitso, ambonin’ ny havoana andrandraina.
3 Ry tendrombohitro any an-tsaha, ny fanananao sy ny rakitrao rehetra dia hatolotro ho babo, eny, na dia ny fitoerana avonao koa aza noho ny fahotana tao anatin’ ny faritaninao rehetra.
4 Ary avy amin’ ny tenanao ihany no mahatonga ny hamoizanao ny lovanao izay nomeko anao; Ary hampanompoiko ny fahavalonao any amin’ ny tany izay tsy fantatrao ianao; Fa narehitrareo ny afon’ ny fahatezerako, izay hirehitra mandrakizay.
5 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: ho voaozona izay olona matoky olona sy manao ny nofo ho sandriny, ka miala amin’ i Jehovah ny fony.
6 Fa ho tahaka ny olona mahantra any an-tani-hay izy ka tsy mba hahita, na dia avy aza ny soa; Fa honina any amin’ ny tany karankaina any an-efitra, dia any amin’ ny tany sira izay tsy onenana.
And he shall be as the wild tamarisk in the desert: he shall not see when good comes; but he shall dwell in barren [places], and in the wilderness, in a salt land which is not inhabited.
7 Hotahina izay olona matoky an’ i Jehovah, dia izay manana an’ i Jehovah ho tokiny.
But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord shall be.
8 Fa ho toy ny hazo ambolena eo amoron-drano izy, izay mamaka eo anilan’ ny rano mandeha, ka tsy hatahotra, na dia avy aza ny hainandro, sady ho maitso ny raviny, ka tsy hanahy izy, na dia mihantona aza ny andro, fa tsy hitsahatra ny famoany.
And he shall be as a thriving tree by the waters, and he shall cast forth his root towards a moist place: he shall not fear when heat comes, and there shall be upon him shady branches: he shall not fear in a year of drought, and he shall not fail to bear fruit.
9 Ny fo dia mamitaka mihoatra noho ny zavatra rehetra sady manana aretina tsy azo sitranina; Iza moa no mahafantatra ny aminy?
The heart is deep beyond all things, and it is the man, and who can know him?
10 Izaho Jehovah no Mpandinika ny fo sy Mpamantatra ny voa, mba hanome ny olona rehetra araka ny alehany avy, dia araka ny vokatry ny asany
I the Lord try the hearts, and prove the reins, to give to every one according to his ways, and according to the fruits of his devices.
11 Toy ny tsipoy mikotrika izay tsy atodiny, dia toy izany izay mahazo harena tsy amin’ ny rariny: Handao azy amin’ ny an-tenatenan’ androny izany, ka ho adala no farany.
The partridge utters her voice, she gathers [eggs] which she did not lay; [so is a man] gaining his wealth unjustly; in the midst of his days [his riches] shall leave him, and at his latter end he will be a fool.
12 Seza fiandrianana be voninahitra sady avo hatramin’ ny voalohany ny fitoera-masintsika.
An exalted throne of glory is our sanctuary.
13 Ry Jehovah, Fanantenan’ ny Isiraely ô! Ho menatra izay rehetra mahafoy Anao, ary hosoratana amin’ ny vovoka izay miala aminao, satria izy efa nahafoy an’ i Jehovah, loharano velona.
O Lord, the hope of Israel, let all that have left you be ashamed, let them that have revolted be written on the earth, because they have forsaken the fountain of life, the Lord.
14 Jehovah ô, sitrano aho, dia ho sitrana; Vonjeo aho, dia ho voavonjy; Fa Hianao no fiderako.
Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved; for you are my boast.
15 Indro, ireo dia manao amiko hoe: Aiza ny tenin’ i Jehovah? Aoka ho tanteraka izany.
Behold, they say to me, Where is the word of the Lord? let it come.
16 Fa izaho tsy nihifikifika niala tsy ho mpiandry manaraka Anao; Ary ny andro hihavian’ ny loza dia tsy nohaikaiko, eny, fantatrao izany; Izay efa nivoaka tamin’ ny molotro dia miharihary eo anatrehanao.
But I have not been weary of following you, nor have I desired the day of man; you know; the [words] that proceed out of my lips are before your face.
17 Enga anie ka tsy ho fampitahorana ahy Hianao! Aroko amin’ ny andro fahoriana Hianao!
Be not to me a stranger, [but] spare me in the evil day.
18 Aoka ho menatra izay manenjika ahy, fa izaho kosa aoka tsy mba ho menatra; Aoka hivadi-po ireo, fa izaho kosa aoka tsy mba hivadi-po; Ataovy tonga aminy ny andro fahoriana, ary ny fahatorotoroana roa heny no anorotoroy azy.
Let them that persecute me be ashamed, but let me not be ashamed: let them be alarmed, but let me not be alarmed: bring upon them the evil day, crush them with double destruction.
19 Izao no nolazain’ i Jehovah tamiko: Mandehana ka mitsangàna eo amin’ ny vavahadim-bahoaka, dia ilay fandehanan’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda miditra sy mivoaka, ary eo amin’ ny vavahady rehetra eto Jerosalema
Thus says the Lord; Go and stand in the gates of the children of your people, by which the kings of Juda enter, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem:
20 ka lazao amin’ ny olona hoe: Henoinareo ny tenin’ i Jehovah ry mpanjakan’ ny Joda sy ry Joda rehetra ary ianareo mponina rehetra eto Jerosalema, izay miditra amin’ ireto vavahady ireto.
and you shall say to them, Hear the word of the Lord, you kings of Juda, and all Judea, and all Jerusalem, [all] who go in at these gates:
21 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Tandremo ny fanahinareo, ka aza mitondrantana amin’ ny andro Sabata, ary aza mampiditra entana: amin’ ny vavahadin’ i Jerosalema;
thus says the Lord; Take heed to your souls, and take up no burdens on the sabbath-day, and go not forth [through] the gates of Jerusalem;
22 ary aza mitondra entana mivoaka avy amin’ ny tranonareo amin’ ny andro Sabata, na manao raharaha akory; fa hamasino ny andro Sabata araka izay efa nandidiako ny razanareo.
and carry forth no burdens out of your houses on the sabbath-day, and you shall do no work: sanctify the sabbath-day, as I commanded your fathers.
23 Nefa tsy nihevitra izy, na nanongilana ny sofiny, fa nanamafy ny hatony mba tsy hihaino na hino anatra.
But they listened not, and inclined not their ear, but stiffened their neck more than their fathers [did], so as not to hear me, and not to receive correction.
24 Ary raha mihaino Ahy tokoa ianareo hoy Jehovah, ka tsy mampiditra entana amin’ ny vavahadin’ ity tanàna ity amin’ ny andro Sabata, ka tsy manao raharaha amin’ izany,
And it shall come to pass, if you will listen to me, says the Lord, to carry in no burdens through the gates of this city on the sabbath-day, and to sanctify the sabbath-day, so as to do no work [upon it],
25 izay mpanjaka sy mpanapaka mipetraka eo amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ i Davida dia hiditra amin’ ny vavahadin’ ity tanàna ity mitaingina kalesy sy soavaly, dia izy sy ny mpanapaka sy ny Joda ary ny mponina eto Jerosalema, ka honenana mandrakizay ity tanàna ity.
that there shall enter through the gates of this city kings and princes sitting on the throne of David, and riding on their chariots and horses, they, and their princes, the men of Juda, and the dwellers in Jerusalem: and this city shall be inhabited for ever.
26 Ary ho avy ny olona avy amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Joda sy ny manodidina an’ i Jerosalema sy ny tanin’ ny Benjamina sy ny tany lemaka amoron-tsiraka sy ny tany havoana ary ny tany atsimo ka hitondra fanatitra dorana sy fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà ary fanatitra hohanina sy ditin-kazo mani-pofona ary hitondra fanati-pisaorana ho ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah.
And [men] shall come out of the cities of Juda, and from round about Jerusalem, and out of the land of Benjamin, and out of the plain country, and from the hill country, and from the south [country], bringing whole burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and incense, and manna, and frankincense, bringing praise to the house of the Lord.
27 Fa raha tsy mihaino Ahy kosa ianareo ka tsy manamasìna ny andro Sabata, fa mitondra entana miditra amin’ ny vavahadin’ i Jerosalema ihany amin’ ny andro Sabata, dia handrehitra afo tsy mety maty eo am-bavahadiny Aho handevonana ny tranobe eto Jerosalema.
But it shall come to pass, if you will not listen to me to sanctify the sabbath-day, to bear no burdens, nor go in [with them by] the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath-day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the streets of Jerusalem, and shall not be quenched.
