Jeremia 20
1 Ary Pasora, zanak’ i Imera, mpisorona sady mpiandraikitra ny tranon’ i Jehovah, raha nandre an’ i Jeremia naminany izany zavatra izany,
And Pashur the son of Immer, the priest — and he was chief officer in the house of Jehovah — heard Jeremiah prophesy these things.
2 dia namely an’ i Jeremia mpaminany sady namatotra azy tamin’ ny boloky hazo izay teo am-bavahadin’ i Benjamina, dia ilay eo ambony, eo anilan’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah.
And Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of Jehovah.
3 Ary nony ampitso, dia nesorin’ i Pasora tamin’ ny boloky hazo Jeremia. Dia hoy Jeremia taminy: Tsy nataon’ i Jehovah hoe Pasora ny anaranao, fa Magora-misabiba.
And it came to pass the next day, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks; and Jeremiah said unto him, Jehovah hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magor-missabib.
4 Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, hataoko fampangorohoroana ho an’ ny tenanao sy ny sakaizanao rehetra ianao, ary ho lavon’ ny sabatry ny fahavalony ireo, dia ho hitan’ ny masonao izany; ary ny Joda rehetra hatolotro eo an-tànan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona, dia ho entiny ho babo any Babylona izy ka hovonoiny amin’ ny sabatra.
For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall see [it]; and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall smite them with the sword.
5 Ary ny harena rehetra amin’ ity tanàna ity sy ny vokatry ny fisasarany rehetra sy ny zava-tsoany rehetra ary ny rakitry ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda rehetra dia samy hatolotro eo an-tànan’ ny fahavalony, ka dia hamabo sy haka azy ireny ary hitondra azy ho any Babylona.
And, I will give all the wealth of this city, and all its gains, and all its precious things, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah, will I give into the hand of their enemies; and they shall make them a prey, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.
6 Ary ianao, ry Pasora, sy izay rehetra mitoetra ao an-tranonao dia ho lasan-ko babo; ary ho tonga any Babylona ianao, ka any no hahafatesanao, ary any koa no handevenana anao mbamin’ ny sakaizanao rehetra izay efa naminanianao lainga.
And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thy house shall go into captivity; and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and there thou shalt be buried, thou and all thy friends to whom thou hast prophesied falsehood.
7 Jehovah ô, notaominao aho ka voataona; Nosamborinao aho ka resinao; Tonga fihomehezana mandritra ny andro aho; Izy rehetra dia maneso ahy.
Jehovah, thou hast enticed me, and I was enticed; thou hast laid hold of me, and hast prevailed; I am become a derision the whole day: every one mocketh me.
8 Fa na oviana na oviana no itenenako, dia tsy maintsy mitaraina aho, eny, miantso aho hoe: Loza sy fandravana! Fa ny tenin’ i Jehovah dia atao fanakorana sy fihomehezana ahy isan’ andro.
For as oft as I speak, I cry out; I proclaim violence and spoil; for the word of Jehovah is become unto me a reproach and a derision all the day.
9 Dia hoy izaho: Tsy hanonona Azy aho na hiteny intsony amin’ ny anarany. Nefa izany dia tonga toy ny afo mirehitra ato am-poko, voahidy ato amin’ ny taolako; Ary sasatra ny niaritra aho ka tsy mahazaka.
And I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name: but it was in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones; and I became wearied with holding in, and I could not.
10 Fa reko ny endrikendriky ny maro, misy fampangorohoroana manodidina. Torio, eny, hotorintsika koa izy; Izay rehetra tsara fihavanana amiko dia miandry izay hahalavoako ka manao hoe: Angamba ho voataona Izy, dia horesentsika sy hovaliantsika.
For I have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side: Report, and we will report it. All my familiars are watching for my stumbling: Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him; and we shall take our revenge on him.
11 Kanefa Jehovah momba ahy toy ny lehilahy mahery mahatahotra, ary noho izany dia ho tafintohina ny mpanenjika ahy ka tsy haharesy; Ho menatra indrindra izy, satria tsy hendry. Fahamenarana mandrakizay izay tsy hohadinoina izany!
But Jehovah is with me as a mighty terrible one; therefore my persecutors shall stumble and shall not prevail; they shall be greatly ashamed, for they have not prospered: it shall be an everlasting confusion that shall not be forgotten.
12 Fa Hianao, Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro ô, Izay mamantatra ny marina ka mizaha toetra ny voa sy ny fo ho hitako ny famalianao azy, fa aminao no efa nanankinako ny adiko.
And thou, Jehovah of hosts, who triest the righteous, who seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them; for unto thee have I revealed my cause.
13 Mihirà ho an’ i Jehovah, miderà an’ i Jehovah; Fa Izy namonjy ny fanahin’ ny malahelo tamin’ ny tanan’ ny mpanao ratsy.
Sing ye unto Jehovah, praise Jehovah, for he hath delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.
14 Ho voaozona anie ny andro izay nahaterahako! Aoka tsy hotahina anie ny andro izay niterahan’ ineny ahy!
Cursed be the day wherein I was born; let not the day wherein my mother bore me be blessed!
15 Ho voaozona anie ny olona izay nitondra teny mahafaly tamin’ ikaky nanao hoe: Tera-dahy ianao! Ka nahafaly azy indrindra.
Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad!
16 Aoka Izany lehilahy izany ho toy ny tanàna izay noravan’ i Jehovah ka tsy nanenenany; Ary aoka izy handre fitarainana nony maraina sy akoralava nony mitataovovonana,
And let that man be as the cities which Jehovah overthrew, and repented not; and let him hear a cry in the morning, and a shouting at noonday,
17 Satria tsy nahafaty ahy tany an-kibo izy, hahatonga an’ Ineny ho fasako, ka hivesatra ahy mandrakariva ny kibony.
because he slew me not from the womb. Or would that my mother had been my grave, and her womb always great [with me]!
18 Nahoana re aho no nivoaka avy tany an-kibo mba hahita fahoriana sy alahelo, ka ho lany aman-kenatra ny androko!
Wherefore came I forth from the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed in shame?
