Jeremia 20
1 Ary Pasora, zanak’ i Imera, mpisorona sady mpiandraikitra ny tranon’ i Jehovah, raha nandre an’ i Jeremia naminany izany zavatra izany,
Now Pashur, the son of Immer, the priest, who was also chief overseer in the house of Jehovah, heard Jeremiah prophesying 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.
Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks, that were at the high 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 on the next day Pashur took Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah to him, Jehovah calleth thee, not Pashur, but Magor-missabib [[not Safety on every side, but Terror on every side]].
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 am about to make thee a terror to thyself and to all thy friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, thine eyes looking on; and all Judah will I give into the hand of the king of Babylon, who shall carry them captive to 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 possessions, 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 spoil them, 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; thou shalt go to Babylon, and there shalt thou die, and there shalt thou be buried, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied falsely.
7 Jehovah ô, notaominao aho ka voataona; Nosamborinao aho ka resinao; Tonga fihomehezana mandritra ny andro aho; Izy rehetra dia maneso ahy.
Thou didst persuade me, O Jehovah, and I was persuaded; Thou wast stronger than I, and didst prevail. But I am in derision daily, 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 whenever I speak, I cry out on account of violence, And complain of oppression; For the word of Jehovah bringeth upon me reproach, And daily derision.
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.
So I say, I will no more make mention of him, Nor speak any more in his name; But his word is in my heart like a burning fire, shut up in my bones, And I am weary with forbearing, And I cannot refrain.
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 hear the slander of many, terror on every side; “Tell us something against him, and we will denounce him.” All my familiar friends, they who leave not my side, [[say, ]] “Perhaps he will be enticed, So that we may prevail against him, And 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 on my side, like a mighty champion, Therefore shall my persecutors stumble, and not prevail; They shall be covered with shame, because they act not wisely, —With everlasting shame, 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.
O Jehovah of hosts, thou that provest the righteous, That seest the reins and the heart, Let me see thy vengeance on them, For to thee have I laid open 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 to Jehovah! Praise ye Jehovah! For he delivereth the oppressed From the hand of evil-doers.
14 Ho voaozona anie ny andro izay nahaterahako! Aoka tsy hotahina anie ny andro izay niterahan’ ineny ahy!
Cursed be the day on which I was born; Let not the day on which 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 the tidings to my father, Saying, “A son is born to 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,
Let that man be like the cities which Jehovah overthrew, and relented not; Let him hear an outcry in the morning, And an alarm at noontide;
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 before I saw the light, So that my mother might have been my grave, And her womb have been great with me forever!
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 weariness and sorrow, And that my days might be consumed in shame?
