Jeremia 3
1 Fa hoy Izy: Raha misy lehilahy misao-bady, ary efa miala ravehivavy ka vadin’ olon-kafa, moa mahazo miverina aminy indray va ralehilahy? Tsy haloto tokoa va izany tany izany? Fa ianao dia efa nijangajanga tamin-tsakaiza maro, ka moa hahazo miverina amiko va ianao? hoy Jehovah.
“Saying, Behold, one sends his wife away, And she has gone from him, And she has been to another man, Does he return to her again? Is that land not greatly defiled? And you have committed whoredom with many lovers, And turn to Me again,” A declaration of YHWH.
2 Andrandrao amin’ ny tendrombohitra mangadihady ny masonao, ka jereo. Taiza no tsy nandrian’ olona taminao? Teny an-dalambe no niandrasanao azy toy ny Arabo any an-efitra; Ary ny fijangajanganao sy ny faharatsianao no nandotoanao ny tany,
“Lift your eyes to the high places, and see, Where have you not been lain with? You have sat for them on the ways, As an Arab in a wilderness, And you defile the land, By your fornications, and by your wickedness.
3 Ka dia voasakana ny orana mivatravatra, sady tsy tonga ny fara-orana; Ary ny handrinao dia handrin’ ny vehivavy janga ka tsy manan-kenatra.
And showers are withheld, and there has been no spring rain. You have the forehead of a whorish woman, You have refused to be ashamed.
4 Moa tsy hitaraina amiko va ianao amin’ izao sisa izao hoe: Ry Raiko ô, Hianao no nahazatra ahy, hatry ny fony aho mbola tanora?
Have you not from now on called to Me, My Father, You [are] the leader of my youth?
5 Ho tezitra mandrakizay va Izy? Hitahiry fahatezerana hatamin’ ny farany va Izy? Indro, efa niteny toy izany ianao, nefa nanao izany ratsy izany ihany ka nahatanteraka izany.
Does He keep for all time? Watch forever? Behold, you have spoken these things, And you do evil, and prevail.”
6 Ary hoy Jehovah tamiko tamin’ ny andro nanjakan’ i Josia mpanjaka: Moa efa hitanao va izay nataon’ Isiraely mpiodina? Niakatra ho eny amin’ ny tendrombohitra avo rehetra sy ho eny ambanin’ ny hazo maitso rehetra izy ka nijangajanga teny.
And YHWH says to me, in the days of Josiah the king, “Have you seen that which backsliding Israel has done? She is going on every high mountain, and to the place of every green tree, and commits fornication there.
7 Ary nataoko fa rehefa nanao izany rehetra izany izy, dia hiverina amiko. Kanjo tsy niverina izy. Ary Joda mpivadika rahavaviny dia nahita izany.
And I say, after her doing all these, Return to Me, and she has not returned, and her treacherous sister Judah sees it.
8 Ary hitako fa na dia efa nisaorako aza Isiraely mpiodina ka nomeko taratasy fisaorana noho ny fijangajangana, dia tsy nety natahotra Joda mpivadika rahavaviny na dia izany aza, fa nandeha nijangajanga koa izy.
And I see that for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery, I have sent her away, and I give the bill of her divorce to her; and her treacherous sister Judah has not feared, and goes and commits fornication—she also.
9 Ary tamin’ ny fihorakorahan’ ny fijangajangany no nandotoany ny tany, ary nijangajanga tamin’ ny vato sy ny hazo izy.
And it has come to pass, from the vileness of her fornication, that the land is defiled, and she commits fornication with stone and with wood.
10 Fa na dia izany rehetra izany aza dia tsy nety niverina tamiko tamin’ ny fony rehetra Joda mpivadika rahavaviny, fa tamin’ ny fihatsaram-belatsihy ihany, hoy Jehovah.
And even in all this her treacherous sister Judah has not turned back to Me with all her heart, but with falsehood,” a declaration of YHWH.
11 Ary hoy Jehovah tamiko: Isiraely mpiodina dia hita fa marimarina kokoa noho Joda mpivadika.
And YHWH says to me: “Backsliding Israel has justified herself, More than treacherous Judah.
12 Mandehana, ka torio manatrika ny avaratra izao teny izao hoe: Miverena ianao, ry Isiraely mpiodina, hoy Jehovah; Tsy hampanjombona ny tavako aminareo Aho; Fa mamindra fo Aho, hoy Jehovah, ka tsy hitahiry fahatezerana mandrakizay.
Go, and you have proclaimed these words toward the north, and have said, Return, O backsliding Israel,” A declaration of YHWH! “I do not cause My anger to fall on you, for I [am] kind,” A declaration of YHWH, “I do not watch for all time.
13 Kanefa kosa ekeo ny helokao, fa tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao no niodinanao, ary nivezivezy nankany amin’ ny hafa ianao. Teny ambanin’ ny hazo maitso rehetra, fa tsy mba nihaino ny feoko ianareo, hoy Jehovah.
Only, know your iniquity, For you have transgressed against your God YHWH, And you scatter your ways to strangers, Under every green tree, And you have not listened to My voice,” A declaration of YHWH.
14 Miverena, ry zaza mpiodina, hoy Jehovah, fa Izaho ihany no vadinareo; Ary hangalako iray isan-tanàna ianareo Sy roa isam-pokony, ka ho entiko ho any Ziona ianareo;
“Return, O backsliding sons,” A declaration of YHWH. “For I have ruled over you, And taken you—one from a city, and two from a family, And have brought you to Zion,
15 Dia homeko mpitondra araka ny sitrapoko ianareo. Izay hitondra anareo amin’ ny fahalalana sy ny fahendrena.
And I have given shepherds to you According to My own heart, And they have fed you with knowledge and understanding.
16 Koa rehefa mitombo sy mihamaro amin’ ny tany ianareo, dia amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah, no tsy hanaovany intsony hoe: Ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah; Ary tsy hosaintsaininy akory izany, sady tsy hahatsiaro na ho manina izany izy, na hanao fiara intsony.
And it has come to pass, when you are multiplied, And have been fruitful in the land, In those days,” A declaration of YHWH, “They no longer say, The Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, Nor does it go up on the heart, Nor do they remember concerning it, Nor do they inspect, nor is it made again.
17 Amin’ izany andro izany no hanononana an’ i Jerosalema hoe Seza fiandrianan’ i Jehovah; Ary hivory any ny jentilisa rehetra noho ny anaran’ i Jehovah any Jerosalema, ary izy tsy handeha intsony araka ny ditry ny fo ratsiny.
At that time they cry to Jerusalem, O throne of YHWH, And all the nations have been gathered to her, For the Name of YHWH, to Jerusalem, Nor do they go after the stubbornness of their evil heart anymore.
18 Amin’ izany andro izany ny taranak’ i Joda sy ny taranak’ Isiraely dia hiara-mandeha, ka hiara-tonga avy any amin’ ny tany avaratra izy ho any amin’ ny tany nomeko ny razanareo ho lovany.
In those days the house of Judah Goes to the house of Israel, And they come together from the land of the south, To the land that I caused your fathers to inherit.
19 Ary Izaho efa nanao hoe: He! fa hataoko isan-janako ianao ka homeko tany mahafinaritra, dia lova izay tena endriky ny firenena. Eny, hoy Izaho: Hianao hanao Ahy hoe Raiko, ka tsy hiala amin’ ny fanarahana Ahy.
And I have said, How do I put you among the sons, And give a desirable land to you, A beautiful inheritance of the hosts of nations, And I say, You call Me—My Father, And you do not turn back from after Me.
20 Kanefa toy ny vehivavy misintaka miala amin’ ny lahy, dia toy izany tokoa no nisintahanareo niala tamiko, ry taranak’ Isiraely, hoy Jehovah.
But a woman has deceived her friend, So you have dealt treacherously with Me, O house of Israel,” A declaration of YHWH.
21 Injay! feo re any an-tendrombohitra mangadihady, dia fitomaniana amam-pitarainan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely; Fa nivilivily tamin’ ny nalehany izy ary nanadino an’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny.
A voice is heard on high places—weeping, Supplications of the sons of Israel, For they have made their way perverse, They have forgotten their God YHWH.
22 Miverena ianao, ry zaza mpiodina, fa hositraniko ny fiodinanareo. Indreto, manatona Anao izahay, fa Hianao Jehovah no Andriamanitray.
“Return, O backsliding sons, I cause your backslidings to cease.” “Behold us, we have come to You, For You [are] our God YHWH.
23 Foana tokoa ny horakoraka any amin’ ny tendrombohitra sy ny havoana; Marina fa ao amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray ny famonjena ny Isiraely.
Surely in vain—from the heights, The multitude of mountains—Surely the salvation of Israel [is] in our God YHWH.
24 Fa lanin’ ilay mampahamenatra hatramin’ ny fahazazanay ny zavatra efa nisasaran’ ny razanay, dia ny ondry aman’ osiny sy ny ombiny, ny zananilahy sy ny zananivavy.
And the shameful thing has devoured The labor of our fathers from our youth, Their flock and their herd, Their sons and their daughters.
25 Aoka handry ao amin’ ny henatray izahay. Ary aoka hanarona anay ny fahafaham-boninahitray, satria tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray no efa nanotanay dia izahay sy ny razanay, hatramin’ ny fahazazanay ka ambaraka androany sady tsy nihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray izahay.
We have lain down in our shame, and our confusion covers us, For we have sinned against our God YHWH, We, and our fathers, from our youth even to this day, Nor have we listened to the voice of our God YHWH!”
