Jeremia 25
1 Izao no teny tonga tamin’ i Jeremia ny amin’ ny Joda rehetra tamin’ ny taona fahefatra nanjakan’ i Joiakima, zanak’ i Josia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda dia ny taona voalohany nanjakan’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona
This is the message that came to Jeremiah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, son of Josiah, king of Judah, which was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. It concerned all the people of Judah.
2 dia izay nolazain’ i Jeremia mpaminany tamin’ ny Joda rehetra sy tamin’ ny mponina rehetra tany Jerosalema hoe:
So the prophet Jeremiah went and spoke to all the people of Judah and all of the people living in Jerusalem, telling them:
3 Hatramin’ ny taona fahatelo ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Josia, zanak’ i Amona, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, ka mandraka androany, dia mandritra ny telo amby roa-polo taona izao, no nahatongavan’ ny tenin’ i Jehovah tamiko, ary nolazaiko taminareo, eny, nifoha maraina koa aho ka nilaza; nefa tsy nihaino ianareo.
From the thirteenth year of the reign of Josiah, son of Amon, king of Judah until now, twenty-three years in total, messages from the Lord have come to me, and I have told you what he said time and again, but you have not listened.
4 Ary Jehovah naniraka ny mpaminany mpanompony rehetra ho any aminareo, eny, nifoha maraina koa Izy ka naniraka nefa tsy nihaino ianareo, na nanongilan-tsofina hihaino hoe:
Even though the Lord has sent all his servants the prophets to you time and again, you don't bother to listen or pay any attention.
5 Samia miala amin’ ny lalan-dratsinareo avy ianareo sy amin’ ny ratsy fanaonareo, ka dia honina any amin’ ny tany izay nomen’ i Jehovah anareo sy ny razanareo hatrizay ka ho mandrakizay.
The consistent message has been: Give up your evil ways and the evil things you're doing so you can live in the country that the Lord has given to you and your forefathers forever.
6 Ary aza manaraka andriamani-kafa hanompo azy sy hiankohoka eo anatrehany, ary aza mampahatezitra Ahy amin’ ny asan’ ny tananareo, fandrao hahatonga loza aminareo Aho.
Don't follow other gods and worship them, and don't anger me by making idols. Then I won't do anything to hurt you.
7 Nefa tsy nihaino Ahy ianareo, hoy Jehovah, mba hampahatezeranareo Ahy tamin’ ny asan’ ny tananareo hahitanareo loza.
But you've hurt yourselves by not listening to me, declares the Lord, because you angered me by making idols.
8 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Noho ny tsy nihainoanareo ny teniko,
So this is what the Lord Almighty says: Because you have not obeyed what I told you,
9 dia, indro, hampanalaiko ny firenena rehetra any avaratra sy Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, mpanompoko, hoy Jehovah, ary ho entiko hamely ity lany ity sy ny mponina eto mbamin’ ireto firenena manodidina rehetra ireto izy, ary haringako tokoa ireo ka hataoko ho figagana sy zavatra mampisitrisitra sady ho rava mandrakizay.
watch as I summon all the people of the north, declares the Lord. I'm going to send for my servant Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, to attack this country and the people who live here, and all the surrounding nations. I will set them apart for destruction. I'm going to totally destroy you, and people will be horrified at what's happened to you and will mock you.
10 Ary hatsahatro eo aminy ny feo mifaly sy ny feo miravoravo, dia ny feon’ ny mpampakatra sy ny feon’ ny ampakarina, ny feon’ ny vato fikosoham-bary ary ny fahazavan’ ny jiro.
I will also put a stop to the cheerful sounds of celebration and the happy voices of the bride and bridegroom. No noise will come from millstones being used; no lamps will be lit.
11 Ary ity tany rehetra ity dia ho foana sy lao, ary ireto firenena rehetra ireto hanompo ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona fito-polo taona.
This whole country will become an empty wasteland, and Judah and these other nations will serve the king of Babylon for seventy years.
12 Ary rehefa tapitra ny fito-polo taona, hoy Jehovah, dia hovaliako kosa ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona sy izany firenena izany noho ny helony, ary ny tanin’ ny Kaldeana koa dia hataoko rava mandrakizay.
However, when these seventy years are over, I'm going to punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the country of Babylonia, for their sin, declares the Lord. I will completely destroy them.
13 Ary hotoviko amin’ izany tany izany ny teniko rehetra, izay efa nambarako hamelezana azy, dia izay rehetra voasoratra ato amin’ ity boky ity, izay novinanin’ i Jeremia hamely ny firenena rehetra.
I will bring down on that country everything I threatened to do, everything that's written in this book which Jeremiah prophesied against all the different nations.
14 Fa ireo kosa indray dia hampanompoin’ ny firenena maro sy ny mpanjaka lehibe, ary hovaliako araka ny ataony sy araka ny asan’ ny tànany avy izy.
Many nations and powerful kings will make slaves of them, the Babylonians, and I will pay them back for the evil they've done.
15 Fa izao no nolazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, tamiko: Raiso etỳ an-tanako ity kapoaky ny divay fahatezerana mirehitra ity, ka ampisotroy ny firenena rehetra izay anirahako anao.
This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, told me: Take this cup I'm handing to you. It contains the wine of my anger. You are to make all the nations I send you to drink from it.
16 Ary hisotro izy ka hirepirepy sy ho very saina noho ny sabatra izay hampameleziko azy.
They will drink and stumble around and go mad because of the war brought by the armies I'm sending to attack them.
17 Dia noraisiko ny kapoaka teny an-tànan’ i Jehovah, ka nampisotroako ny firenena rehetra izay nanirahan’ i Jehovah ahy,
I took the cup the Lord handed to me and made all the nations he sent me to drink from it:
18 dia Jerosalema sy ny tanànan’ ny Joda sy ny mpanjakany ary ny mpanapaka, mba hanao azy ho tany lao sy ho figagana sy zavatra mampisitrisitra ary fanozonana tahaka ny amin’ izao anio izao;
To Jerusalem and the towns of Judah, its kings and officials, destroying them so that people were horrified at what happened to them and mocked them and cursed them (and they are still like this today);
19 ary Farao, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, sy ny mpanompony sy ny mpanapaka mbamin’ ny vahoakany rehetra,
to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and his officials, leaders, all his people
20 ary ny olona samy hafa firenena rehetra sy ny mpanjaka rehetra amin’ ny tany Oza sy ny mpanjaka rehetra amin’ ny tanin’ ny Filistina sy Askelona sy Gaza sy Ekrona ary ny sisa any Asdoda;
and all the foreigners living there; to all the kings of the country of Uz; to all the kings of the Philistines: Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and what's left of Ashdod;
21 ary Edoma sy Moaba sy ny taranak’ i Amona,
to Edom, Moab, and the Ammonites;
22 ary ny mpanjaka rehetra any Tyro sy ny mpanjaka rehetra any Sidona ary ny mpanjakan’ ny nosy any an-dafin’ ny ranomasina;
to all the kings of Tyre and Sidon; to the kings of the Mediterranean sea coast;
23 ary Dedana sy Tema sy Boza ary izay rehetra voahety sisim-bolo,
to Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all those who trim their hair on the sides of their heads;
24 ary ny mpanjaka rehetra any Arabia sy ny mpanjaka rehetra amin’ ny firenena maro samy hafa izay monina any an-efitra;
to all the kings of Arabia; and to all the kings of the different tribes living in the desert;
25 ary ny mpanjaka rehetra any Zimry sy ny mpanjaka rehetra any Elama ary ny mpanjaka rehetra any Media,
to all the kings of Zimri, Elam, and Media;
26 ary ny mpanjaka rehetra any avaratra, na ny lavitra na ny akaiky, na iza na iza, ary ny fanjakana rehetra amin’ izao tontolo izao, izay etỳ ambonin’ ny tany; ary ny mpanjakan’ i Sesaka koa dia hisotro manaraka ireo.
to all the kings of the north; in fact to all the kingdoms on earth whether close or far away, one after another. After all of them, the king of Babylon will drink it too.
27 Koa lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro. Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Misotroa ianareo, ka mimamoa, sy mandoava, ary mianjerà, ka aza miarina intsony noho ny sabatra izay hampameleziko anareo.
Tell them this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Drink, make yourselves drunk, and vomit. Because of the war you'll be killed, falling down never to get up again.
28 Ary raha tsy mety mandray ny kapoaka eny an-tananao hosotroiny izy, dia ataovy aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Tsy maintsy misotro ianareo.
If they should refuse to take the cup and drink from it, tell them that this is what the Lord Almighty says: You can't avoid drinking it—you have to!
29 Fa, indro, ao amin’ ny tanàna izay efa niantsoana ny anarako aza no nanombohako ny fahatongavana loza, ka ho afaka va ianareo? Tsy ho afaka mihitsy ianareo, fa hiantso sabatra Aho hamelezana ny mponina rehetra amin’ ny tany, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro.
Can't you see that I'm about to bring disaster down on my own city, so do you really think you wouldn't be punished as well? You won't go unpunished, for I am bringing war to everyone on earth, declares the Lord Almighty.
30 Koa maminania aminy ianao araka izao teny rehetra izao, ka ataovy hoe: Jehovah hierona any ambony ary hanandratra ny feony any amin’ ny fitoerany masìna, eny, hierona mafy amin’ ny sahany fiandrasan-ondry Izy ka hanakora toy ny mpanosihosy voaloboka, hamelezana ny mponina rehetra amin’ ny tany.
Give this whole message as a prophecy against them. Tell them: The Lord will thunder from high above. He will thunder loudly from the holy place where he lives. He will give a great roar against the sheepfolds. He will give a loud shout like people treading the grapes, frightening everyone who lives on earth.
31 Mihatra amin’ ny faran’ ny tany ny fihorakorahana; Fa Jehovah manana ady amin’ ny firenena; Mifandahatra amin’ ny nofo rehetra Izy, ka ny ratsy fanahy dia atolony ho an’ ny sabatra, hoy Jehovah.
The sound will reach everywhere on the earth because the Lord is accusing the nations. He is judging everyone, executing the wicked, declares the Lord.
32 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Indro, hisy loza hivoaka hitety ny firenena samy hafa, ary hisy tafio-drivotra mahery hiposaka any amin’ ny faran’ ny tany;
This is what the Lord Almighty says: Watch out! Disaster is falling on one nation after another; an immense storm is building up in the far distance.
33 Ary amin’ izany andro izany Ny voavonon’ i Jehovah, dia hiampatrampatra hatramin’ ny faran’ ny tany anankiray ka hatramin’ ny farany koa; Tsy hisaonana, na hangonina, na halevina ireny, fa ho zezika eny ambonin’ ny tany.
Those killed by the Lord at that time will cover the earth from one end to the other. No one will mourn them, or collect them, or bury them. They will be like piles of manure lying on the ground.
34 Midradradradrà, ianareo mpiandry ondry, ary mitaraina; Eny, mihosinkosena, ianareo zokiny amin’ ny ondry! Fa tonga ny andro hamonoana anareo, ary hampieleziko ianareo ka hianjera toy ny fanaka tsara.
Cry out and weep, you shepherds! Roll around on the ground mourning, you leaders of the flock. The time for you to be killed has come; you will fall, smashed like the finest pottery.
35 Ny mpiandry ondry tsy hanam-pandosirana, ary ny zokiny amin’ ny ondry tsy hanam-pahafahana.
The shepherds won't be able to run away; the leaders of the flock won't escape.
36 Injany! misy feo fitarainan’ ny mpiandry ondry sy fidradradradran’ ny zokiny aminy! Satria efa nosimban’ i Jehovah ny saha fiandrasana azy,
Listen to the cries of the shepherds, the weeping of the leaders of the flock, for the Lord is destroying their pasturelands.
37 Ary efa tonga lao ny kijana niadanana noho ny firehetan’ ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah.
The peaceful sheepfolds have been ruined because of the Lord's fierce anger.
38 Nandao ny fiereny toy ny liona tanora izy; Fa efa lao ny taniny noho ny fahasiahan’ ny mpampahory sy noho ny firehetan’ ny fahatezerany.
The Lord has left his den like a lion, because their country has been devastated by the invading armies, and because of the Lord's fierce anger.
