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 an iron stylus having a diamond point. It is engraved on the tablet of their hearts and on 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.
Even their children remember their altars and their Asherah poles that were beside the spreading trees and on 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.
My mountain in the open country, and your wealth and all your treasures I will give away as plunder, together with your high places, because of the sin you committed in all your territories.
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.
You will lose the inheritance that I gave to you. I will enslave you to your enemies in a land that you do not know, for you have ignited a fire in my wrath, which will burn forever.”
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.
Yahweh says, “The person who trusts in mankind is accursed; he makes flesh his strength but turns his heart away from Yahweh.
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 will be like a small bush in the Arabah and will not see anything good coming. He will stay in the stony places in the wilderness, barren land without inhabitants.
7 Hotahina izay olona matoky an’ i Jehovah, dia izay manana an’ i Jehovah ho tokiny.
But the person who trusts in Yahweh is blessed, for Yahweh is his reason for confidence.
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 will be like a tree planted by water, its roots will spread out by the stream. It will not fear the heat when it comes, for its leaves are always green. It is not anxious in a year of drought, and it will not stop producing 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 more deceitful than anything else. It is sick; who can understand 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 am Yahweh, the one who searches through the mind, who tests the hearts. I give to each person according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.
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.
A partridge hatches an egg that she did not lay. Someone may become rich unjustly, but when half his days are over, those riches will abandon him, and in the end he will be a fool.”
12 Seza fiandrianana be voninahitra sady avo hatramin’ ny voalohany ny fitoera-masintsika.
“The place of our temple is a glorious throne, elevated from the beginning.
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.
Yahweh is the hope of Israel. All who abandon you will be put to shame; those in the land who turn away from you will be written in the earth, for they have forsaken Yahweh, the fountain of living waters.
14 Jehovah ô, sitrano aho, dia ho sitrana; Vonjeo aho, dia ho voavonjy; Fa Hianao no fiderako.
Heal me, Yahweh, and I will be healed! Rescue me, and I will be rescued. For you are my song of praise.
15 Indro, ireo dia manao amiko hoe: Aiza ny tenin’ i Jehovah? Aoka ho tanteraka izany.
See, they are saying to me, 'Where is the word of Yahweh? 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.
As for me, I did not run from being a shepherd following you. I did not long for the day of disaster. You know the proclamations that came from my lips. They were made in your presence.
17 Enga anie ka tsy ho fampitahorana ahy Hianao! Aroko amin’ ny andro fahoriana Hianao!
Do not be a terror to me. You are my refuge on the day of calamity.
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.
May my pursuers be ashamed, but do not let me be ashamed. May they be dismayed, but do not let me be dismayed. Send the day of disaster against them and shatter them with a double share of 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
Yahweh said this to me: “Go and stand in the gate of the people where the kings of Judah enter and where they exit, then in all the other 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.
Say to them, 'Hear the word of Yahweh, kings of Judah and all you people of Judah, and every resident of Jerusalem who comes in through 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;
Yahweh says this: “Be careful for the sake of your lives and do not carry a burden on the Sabbath day to bring it to 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.
Do not bring a load out from your house on the Sabbath day. Do not do any work, but set apart the Sabbath day, just as I commanded your ancestors to do.”'
23 Nefa tsy nihevitra izy, na nanongilana ny sofiny, fa nanamafy ny hatony mba tsy hihaino na hino anatra.
They did not listen or pay attention, but stiffened their neck so they would not hear me nor accept discipline.
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,
It will happen that if you truly listen to me—this is Yahweh's declaration—and do not bring a load to the gates of this city on the Sabbath day but instead set apart the Sabbath day to Yahweh and not do any work on 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.
then kings, princes, and those who sit on David's throne will come to the gates of this city in chariots and with horses, they and their leaders, men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, and this city will be inhabited forever.
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.
They will come from the cities of Judah and from all around Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin and the lowlands, from the mountains, and from the Negev, bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices, grain offerings and frankincense, thank offerings to the house of Yahweh.
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 you do not listen to me—to set apart the Sabbath day and to not carry heavy loads and to not enter the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day—then I will light a fire in its gates, and it will consume the fortresses of Jerusalem, and it cannot be put out.”
