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,
The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond; it is graven upon the tablet of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars.
2 Dia amin’ izay hahatsiarovan’ ny zanany ny alitarany sy ny Aserahany, akaikin’ ny hazo maitso, ambonin’ ny havoana andrandraina.
Like the symbols of their sons are their altars, and their Asherim are by the leafy trees, upon the high hills.
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.
O thou that sittest upon the mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy treasures for a spoil, and thy high places, because of sin, throughout all thy borders.
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.
And thou, even of thyself, shalt discontinue from thy heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not; for ye have kindled a fire in My nostril, which shall burn for ever.
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.
Thus saith the LORD: Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
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.
For he shall be like a tamarisk in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.
7 Hotahina izay olona matoky an’ i Jehovah, dia izay manana an’ i Jehovah ho tokiny.
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose trust the LORD is.
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.
For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out its roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but its foliage shall be luxuriant; and shall not be anxious in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding 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 deceitful above all things, and it is exceeding weak — who can know it?
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 search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.
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.
As the partridge that broodeth over young which she hath not brought forth, so is he that getteth riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days he shall leave them, and at his end he shall be a fool.
12 Seza fiandrianana be voninahitra sady avo hatramin’ ny voalohany ny fitoera-masintsika.
Thou throne of glory, on high from the beginning, thou place of 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.
Thou hope of Israel, the LORD! All that forsake Thee shall be ashamed; they that depart from Thee shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.
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 Thou art my praise.
15 Indro, ireo dia manao amiko hoe: Aiza ny tenin’ i Jehovah? Aoka ho tanteraka izany.
Behold, they say unto me: 'Where is the word of the LORD? let it come now.'
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.
As for me, I have not hastened from being a shepherd after Thee; neither have I desired the woeful day; Thou knowest it; that which came out of my lips was manifest before Thee.
17 Enga anie ka tsy ho fampitahorana ahy Hianao! Aroko amin’ ny andro fahoriana Hianao!
Be not a ruin unto me; Thou art my refuge in the day of evil.
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 be ashamed that persecute me, but let not me be ashamed; Let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed; Bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy 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 said the LORD unto me: Go, and stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, 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 say unto them: Hear ye the word of the LORD, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by 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 saith the LORD: Take heed for the sake of your souls, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by 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.
neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work; but hallow ye 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 hearkened not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction.
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 ye diligently hearken unto Me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but to hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;
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.
then shall there enter in by the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of 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 they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places round about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the Lowland, and from the mountains, and from the South, bringing burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, and meal-offerings, and frankincense, and bringing sacrifices of thanksgiving, unto 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 if ye will not hearken unto Me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden and enter in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
