Jeremia 22
1 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Midìna any amin’ ny tranon’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda, ka lazao any izao teny izao hoe:
Yahweh said, “Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak this word there:
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:
‘Hear Yahweh’s word, king of Judah, who sits on David’s throne—you, your servants, and your people who enter in 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.
Yahweh says: “Execute justice and righteousness, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor. Do no wrong. Do no violence to the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow. Don’t 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 you do this thing indeed, then kings sitting on David’s throne will enter in by the gates of this house, riding in chariots and on horses—they, 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 you will not hear these words, I swear by myself,” says Yahweh, “that this house will 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 Yahweh says concerning the house of the king of Judah: “You are Gilead to me, the head of Lebanon. Yet surely I will make you a wilderness, 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.
I will prepare destroyers against you, everyone with his weapons, and they will cut down your 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?
“Many nations will pass by this city, and they will each ask his neighbor, ‘Why has Yahweh done this 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 will answer, ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of Yahweh their God, 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.
Don’t weep for the dead. Don’t bemoan him; but weep bitterly for him who goes away, for he will return no more, and not 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 Yahweh says touching Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, and who went out of this place: “He won’t return there any more.
12 Fa ho faty any amin’ ny tany izay nitondrana azy ho babo ka tsy hahita ity tany ity intsony.
But he will die in the place where they have led him captive. He will 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 who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his rooms by injustice; who uses his neighbor’s service without wages, and doesn’t give him his hire;
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.
who says, ‘I will build myself a wide house and spacious rooms,’ and cuts out windows for himself, with a cedar ceiling, and painted with red.
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.
“Should you reign because you strive to excel in cedar? Didn’t your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? 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; so then it was well. Wasn’t this to know me?” says Yahweh.
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 your eyes and your heart are only for your covetousness, for shedding innocent blood, for oppression, and for doing violence.”
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 Yahweh says concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: “They won’t lament for him, saying, ‘Ah my brother!’ or, ‘Ah sister!’ They won’t 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 will be buried with the burial of a donkey, drawn and cast out 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 out. Lift up your voice in Bashan, and cry from Abarim; for all your lovers have been 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 you in your prosperity, but you said, ‘I will not listen.’ This has been your way from your youth, that you didn’t obey 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 will feed all your shepherds, and your lovers will go into captivity. Surely then you will be ashamed and confounded for all your 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!
Inhabitant of Lebanon, who makes your nest in the cedars, how greatly to be pitied you will be when pangs come on you, 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,” says Yahweh, “though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on my right hand, I would still pluck you from there.
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.
I would give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of them of whom you are afraid, 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.
I will cast you out with your mother who bore you into another country, where you were not born; and there you will die.
27 Fa ny tany iriny hiverenana dia tsy hiverenany.
But to the land to which their soul longs to return, there they will 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 vessel? Is he a vessel in which no one delights? Why are they cast out, he and his offspring, and cast into a land which they don’t know?
29 Ry tany! ry tany! ry tany! Henoy ny tenin’ i Jehovah.
O earth, earth, earth, hear Yahweh’s word!
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
Yahweh says, “Record this man as childless, a man who will not prosper in his days; for no more will a man of his offspring prosper, sitting on David’s throne and ruling in Judah.”
