Jeremia 22
1 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Midìna any amin’ ny tranon’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda, ka lazao any izao teny izao hoe:
Thus saith the Lord; Go thou, and go down to the house of the king of Juda, and thou shalt speak there this word,
2 Henoy ny tenin’ i Jehovah, ry mpanjakan’ ny Joda, izay mipetraka amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ i Davida, dia ianao sy ny mpanomponao ary ny vahoakanao izay miditra amin’ ireto vavahady ireto:
and thou shalt say, Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Juda, that sittest on the throne of David, thou, and thy house, and thy people, and they that go in at these gates:
3 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Manaova fitsarana sy fahamarinana ianareo, ka afaho amin’ ny tanan’ ny mpampahory ny olona voaroba; ary aza mampahory na mampidi-doza amin’ ny vahiny sy ny kamboty ary ny mpitondratena, ary aza mandatsaka rà marina amin’ ity fitoerana ity.
thus saith the Lord; Execute ye judgment and justice, and rescue the spoiled out of the hand of him that wrongs him: and oppress not the stranger, and orphan, and widow, and sin not, and shed no innocent blood in this place.
4 Fa raha mankatò izany teny izany tokoa ianareo, dia hisy mpanjaka mipetraka eo amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ i Davida hiditra amin’ ity vavahady ity mitaingin-kalesy sy soavaly, dia izy sy ny mpanompony ary ny vahoakany.
For if ye will indeed perform this word, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, and riding on chariots and horses, they, and their servants, and their people.
5 Fa raha tsy hihaino izany teny izany kosa ianareo, dia ny tenako no ianianako, hoy Jehovah, fa ho lao tokoa ity trano ity.
But if ye will not perform these words, by myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, that this house shall be [brought] to desolation.
6 Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah ny amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda sy ny mpianakaviny: Tahaka an’ i Gileada sy ny tampon’ i Libanona amiko ianao, nefa hataoko tonga efitra sy tanàna tsy onenana.
For thus saith the Lord concerning the house of the king of Juda; Thou art Galaad to me, [and] the head of Libanus: [yet] surely I will make thee a desert, [even] cities that shall not be inhabited:
7 Ary hanendry mpandrava hamely anao Aho, Izay samy hitondra ny fiadiany avy; Dia hokapain’ ireo ny sederanao voafantina ka hariany ao anaty afo.
and I will bring upon thee a destroying man, and his axe: and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast [them] into the fire.
8 Ary firenena maro no handalo ity tanàna ity, ka samy hanao amin’ ny namany avy hoe: Nahoana Jehovah no dia nanao izao tamin’ ity tanàna lehibe ity?
And nations shall pass through this city, and each shall say to his neighbour, Why has the Lord done thus to this great city?
9 Dia hovaliana hoe: Noho ny nahafoizany ny faneken’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny sy ny nivavahany tamin’ andriamani-kafa sy ny nanompoany ireny.
And they shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord their God, and worshipped strange gods, and served them.
10 Aza mitomany ny maty ianareo, na misaona azy; Mitomania dia mitomania noho ilay efa lasan-ko babo; Fa tsy hiverina intsony izy, na hahita ny tany nahaterahany.
Weep not for the dead, nor lament for him: weep bitterly for him that goes away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native land.
11 Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah ny amin’ i Saloma, zanak’ i Josia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, dia ilay nanjaka nandimby an’ i Josia rainy, saingy efa niala tamin’ ity tany ity: Tsy hiverina atỳ intsony izy,
For thus saith the Lord concerning Sellem the son of Josias, who reigns in the place of Josias his father, who has gone forth out of this place; He shall not return thither any more:
12 Fa ho faty any amin’ ny tany izay nitondrana azy ho babo ka tsy hahita ity tany ity intsony.
but in that place whither I have carried him captive, there shall he die, and shall see this land no more.
13 Lozan’ izay manorina ny tranony amin’ ny tsy rariny sy ny ati-tranony ambony amin’ ny fitaka ka mampiasa maina ny namany, fa tsy mandoa ny karamany,
He that builds his house not with justice, and his upper chambers not with judgment, who works by means of his neighbour for nothing, and will by no means give him his reward.
14 Sady manao hoe: Hanao trano lehibe ho ahy aho sy ati-trano ambony malalaka, ary holoahany hisy varavarankely sady hasiany valin-drihana sedera sy hohosorana loko mena.
Thou hast built for thyself a well-proportioned house, airy chambers, fitted with windows, and wainscoted with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
15 Moa dia ho mpanjaka ianao, saingy ataonao be sedera noho ny an’ ny sasany ny tranonao? Tsy efa nihinana sy nisotro va rainao sady nanao fitsarana sy fahamarinana? Tamin’ izany dia nambinina izy.
Shalt thou reign, because thou art provoked with thy father Achaz? they shall not eat, and they shall not drink: it is better for thee to execute judgment and justice.
16 Nitsara ny tenin’ ny ory sy ny malahelo izy; Tamin’ izany dia nambinina izy. Tsy izany va no fahalalana Ahy? hoy Jehovah.
They understood not, they judged not the cause of the afflicted, nor the cause of the poor: is not this thy not knowing me? saith the Lord.
17 Nefa tsy misy alehan’ ny masonao sy ny eritreritrao afa-tsy ny filan-karena ihany sy ny fandatsahana rà marina ary ny fampahoriana sy ny fanaovana an-keriny.
Behold, thine eyes are not good, nor thine heart, but [they go] after thy covetousness, and after the innocent blood to shed it, and after acts of injustice and slaughter, to commit them.
18 Ary noho izany dia izao no lazain’ i Jehovah ny amin’ i Joiakima, zanak’ i Josia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda: Ny olona tsy hisaona azy hoe: Indrisy, tompokolahy! na: Indrisy, tompokovavy! Ny olona tsy hitomany azy hoe: Indrisy, tompoko! na: Indrisy ny voninahiny!
Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning Joakim son of Josias, king of Juda, even concerning this man; they shall not bewail him, [saying], Ah brother! neither shall they at all weep for him, [saying], Alas Lord.
19 Halevina toy ny fandevina boriky izy, ka hotaritarihina sy hariana any ivelan’ ny vavahadin’ i Jerosalema.
He shall be buried with the burial of an ass; he shall be dragged roughly along and cast outside the gate of Jerusalem.
20 Miakara any Libanona, ka mitaraina; Dia asandrato any Basana ny feonao, ary mitaraina any Abarima; Fa ringana avokoa ireo tia anao.
Go up to Libanus, and cry; and utter thy voice to Basan, and cry aloud to the extremity of the sea: for all thy lovers are destroyed.
21 Efa niteny taminao Aho, fony ianao mbola nipetraka tsy nanana ahiahy; Nefa hoy ianao: Izaho tsy hihaino. Fanaonao hatry ny fony ianao mbola tanora ny tsy mihaino ny teniko.
I spoke to thee on [occasion of] thy trespass, but thou saidst, I will not hearken. This [has been] thy way from thy youth, thou hast not hearkened to my voice.
22 Ny mpitondra anao rehetra ho paohin’ ny rivotra, ary ireo tia anao ho lasan-ko babo, eny, ho menatra sy hangaihay tokoa ianao noho ny haratsianao rehetra.
The wind shall tend all thy shepherds, and thy lovers shall go into captivity; for then shalt thou be ashamed and disgraced because of all thy lovers.
23 Ry ilay mponina any Libanona, izay manao ny akaninao eny amin’ ny sedera, indrisy ny fisentoanao, raha iharan’ ny faharariana ianao, toy ny fanaintainan’ ny vehivavy raha miteraka!
O thou that dwellest in Libanus, making thy nest in the cedars, thou shalt groan heavily, when pangs as of a travailing woman are come upon thee.
24 Raha velona koa Aho, hoy Jehovah, na dia ho peratra fanombohan-kase amin’ ny tanako ankavanana aza ianao, ry Jekonia, zanak’ i Joiakima, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, dia hotsoahako hiala eo ianao,
[As] I live, saith the Lord, though Jechonias son of Joakim king of Juda were indeed the seal upon my right hand, thence would I pluck thee;
25 Ka hatolotro eo an-tànan’ izay mitady ny ainao sy eo an-tànan’ izay atahoranao, dia eo an-tànan’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, sy eo amin’ ny tanan’ ny Kaldeana.
and I will deliver thee into the hands of them that seek thy life, before whom thou art afraid, into the hands of the Chaldeans.
26 Ary ianao sy ny reninao niteraka anao dia hariako any an-tany hafa izay tsy nahaterahanareo, ka any no hahafatesanareo.
And I will cast forth thee, and thy mother that bore thee, into a land where thou wast not born; and there ye shall die.
27 Fa ny tany iriny hiverenana dia tsy hiverenany.
But they shall by no means return to the land which they long for in their souls.
28 Moa ity lehilahy Jekonia ity dia vilany vingavingaina sy efa hotorotoroina ary fanaka tsy mahafinaritra va? Koa nahoana no nariana izy sy ny taranany ka natsipy any amin’ ny tany tsy fantany?
Jechonias is dishonoured as a good-for-nothing vessel; for he is thrown out and cast forth into a land which he knew not.
29 Ry tany! ry tany! ry tany! Henoy ny tenin’ i Jehovah.
Land, land, hear the word of the Lord.
30 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Soratanareo ho tsy manam-para ity lehilahy ity, dia lehilahy tsy hambinina amin’ ny androny; Fa tsy hisy amin’ ny taranany izay hambinina Hipetraka eo amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ i Davida, na hanapaka ao amin’ ny Joda intsony
Write ye this man an outcast: for there shall none of his seed at all grow up to sit on the throne of David, [or as] a prince yet in Juda.
