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 down to the house of the king of Judah, and 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 say, Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people that enter by 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 righteousness, and deliver him that is laid waste out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed 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 do this thing indeed, then shall there enter, by the gates of this house, kings sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his 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 hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the LORD, that this house shall become a 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 to the king's house of Judah; Thou [art] Gilead to me, [and] the head of Lebanon; [yet] surely I will make thee a wilderness, [and] cities [which] are not 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 prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons: 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 many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbor, Why hath 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.
Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God, and worshiped other 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 ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him: [but] weep bitterly for him that goeth away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.
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 Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, who went forth from 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 he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive, 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,
Woe to him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; [that] useth his neighbor's service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;
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.
That saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and [it is] ceiled 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 closest [thyself] in cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, [and] then [it was] well with him?
16 Nitsara ny tenin’ ny ory sy ny malahelo izy; Tamin’ izany dia nambinina izy. Tsy izany va no fahalalana Ahy? hoy Jehovah.
He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then [it was] well [with him]: [was] not this to know 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.
But thy eyes and thy heart [are] only for thy covetousness, and for shedding innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do [it].
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 Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah; They shall not lament for him, [saying], Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! they shall not lament for him, [saying], Ah lord! or, Ah his glory!
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, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates 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 Lebanon, and cry; and lift up thy voice in Bashan, and cry from the passages: 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 in thy prosperity; [but] thou saidest, I will not hear. This [hath been] thy manner from thy youth, that thou hast not obeyed 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 eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness.
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 inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in the cedars, how gracious shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee, the pain as of a woman in travail!
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 Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand, yet would I pluck thee thence;
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 give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand [of them] whose face thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand 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 thee out, and thy mother that bore thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die.
27 Fa ny tany iriny hiverenana dia tsy hiverenany.
But to the land to which they desire to return, thither shall they not return.
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?
[Is] this man Coniah a despised broken idol? [is he] a vessel in which [is] no pleasure? why are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?
29 Ry tany! ry tany! ry tany! Henoy ny tenin’ i Jehovah.
O earth, earth, earth, 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
Thus saith the LORD, Write ye this man childless, a man [that] shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.
