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 Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in Yahweh’s house, 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 Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was 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.
On the next day, Pashhur released Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, “Yahweh has not called your name Pashhur, but Magormissabib.
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, ‘Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends. They will fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes will see it. I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will carry them captive to Babylon, and will kill 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.
Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all its gains, and all its precious things, yes, I will give all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hand of their enemies. They will make them captives, 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.
You, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house will go into captivity. You will come to Babylon, and there you will die, and there you will be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied falsely.’”
7 Jehovah ô, notaominao aho ka voataona; Nosamborinao aho ka resinao; Tonga fihomehezana mandritra ny andro aho; Izy rehetra dia maneso ahy.
Yahweh, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day. 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 as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, “Violence and destruction!” because Yahweh’s word has been made a reproach to me, and a derision, all 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 that I will not make mention of him, or speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones. I am weary with holding it in. I can’t.
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! Denounce, and we will denounce him!” say all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall. “Perhaps he will be persuaded, and we will prevail against him, and we will 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 as an awesome mighty one. Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and they won’t prevail. They will be utterly disappointed because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which 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 Armies, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them, for I have revealed 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 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 is the day in which I was born. Don’t let the day in 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 is the man who brought news to my father, saying, “A boy is born to you,” 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 as the cities which Yahweh overthrew, and didn’t repent. Let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime,
17 Satria tsy nahafaty ahy tany an-kibo izy, hahatonga an’ Ineny ho fasako, ka hivesatra ahy mandrakariva ny kibony.
because he didn’t kill me from the womb. So my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.
18 Nahoana re aho no nivoaka avy tany an-kibo mba hahita fahoriana sy alahelo, ka ho lany aman-kenatra ny androko!
Why did I come out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
