Jeremia 20

1 Ary Pasora, zanak’ i Imera, mpisorona sady mpiandraikitra ny tranon’ i Jehovah, raha nandre an’ i Jeremia naminany izany zavatra izany,

Pashhur son of Immer the priest—he was a leading officer—heard Jeremiah prophesying these words before Yahweh's house.

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.

So Pashhur beat Jeremiah the prophet and then placed him in the stocks that were at the Upper Gate of Benjamin in Yahweh's house.

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.

It happened on the next day that Pashhur brought Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, “Yahweh has not called your name Pashhur, but you are 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 Yahweh says this, 'Look, I will make you an object of horror, you and all of your loved ones, for they will fall by the sword of their enemies and your eyes will see it. I will give all of Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon. He will make them captives in Babylon or attack 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.

I will give him all the wealth of this city and all of its riches, all of its precious items and all the treasures of the kings of Judah. I will place these things in the hand of your enemies, and they will seize them. They will take them and bring 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.

But you, Pashhur, and all the inhabitants of your house will go into captivity. You will go to Babylon and die there. You and all of your loved ones to whom you prophesied deceitful things will be buried there.'”

7 Jehovah ô, notaominao aho ka voataona; Nosamborinao aho ka resinao; Tonga fihomehezana mandritra ny andro aho; Izy rehetra dia maneso ahy.

“Yahweh, you deceived me, and I was deceived. You are stronger than I, and you overpowered me. I have become a laughingstock all day long; everyone mocks 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 have spoken, I have called out and proclaimed, 'Violence and destruction.' Then Yahweh's word has become for me reproach and mocking every 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.

If I say, 'I will not think about Yahweh anymore. I will not speak any longer in his name.' Then it is like a fire in my heart, held within my bones. So I struggle to contain it but I cannot.

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.

I have heard rumors of terror from many people all around. 'Report! We must report it!' Those who are close to me watch to see if I will fall. 'Perhaps he can be tricked. If so, we can overpower 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 Yahweh is with me like a powerful warrior, so the ones pursuing me will stagger. They will not defeat me. They will be greatly ashamed, because they will not succeed. They will have unending shame, it will never 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.

But Yahweh of hosts, you examine the righteous and see the mind and the heart. Let me see your vengeance on them for I have committed my cause to you.

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 Yahweh! Praise Yahweh! For he has rescued the lives of those who are oppressed from the hand of evildoers.

14 Ho voaozona anie ny andro izay nahaterahako! Aoka tsy hotahina anie ny andro izay niterahan’ ineny ahy!

Let the day when I was born be cursed. Do not let the day that 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.

Let the man who informed my father be cursed, the one who said, 'A male child has been born to you,' causing great joy.

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 that Yahweh overthrew and he did not have compassion on them. Let him hear a cry for help in the dawn, a battle cry at noontime,

17 Satria tsy nahafaty ahy tany an-kibo izy, hahatonga an’ Ineny ho fasako, ka hivesatra ahy mandrakariva ny kibony.

because he did not kill me in the womb, making my mother to be my tomb, a womb that was pregnant forever.

18 Nahoana re aho no nivoaka avy tany an-kibo mba hahita fahoriana sy alahelo, ka ho lany aman-kenatra ny androko!

Why is it that I came out from the womb to see troubles and agony, so that my days are filled with shame?”
