Jeremia 30
1 Izao no teny tonga tamin’ i Jeremia avy tamin’ i Jehovah:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Soratinao amin’ ny boky ny teny rehetra izay efa nolazaiko taminao.
“[I], Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [say they belong to], am telling you that you should write down everything that I have said to you.
3 Fa, indro, avy ny andro, hoy Jehovah, izay hampodiako ny oloko, dia ny Isiraely sy ny Joda, avy amin’ ny fahababoany, hoy Jehovah; eny, hampody azy ho amin’ ny tany izay efa nomeko ny razany Aho, dia ho azy izany.
[I want you to know that] some day I will free my people, [the people of] Israel and Judah, from being slaves [in Babylon]. I will bring them back to this land that I gave to their ancestors, and this land will belong to them again. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
4 Ary izao no teny izay nolazain’ i Jehovah ny amin’ ny Isiraely sy ny Joda,
Yahweh gave [to me] another message concerning [the people of] Israel and Judah.
5 eny, izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Feo mampangovitra no renay; Misy tahotra, fa tsy fiadanana.
This is what he said: “I hear people screaming because they are terrified [DOU]; there is no peace [in the land].
6 Anontanionareo ka izahao, raha mba misy lehilahy mihetsi-jaza; Koa nahoana no samy hitako manery ny valahany amin’ ny tànany avy ny lehilahy rehetra hoatra ilay efa mihetsi-jaza iny, ary ny tarehy rehetra dia efa tonga hatsatra avokoa?
But think about this: Men certainly do not [RHQ] give birth to babies. Therefore, why do strong men stand there, with their faces very white/pale, with their hands pressed against their stomachs, like women who are about to give birth to babies?
7 Indrisy! fa lehibe izany andro izany, ka tsy misy tahaka azy; Andro fahoriana ho an’ i Jakoba izany, nefa ho voavonjy ho afaka amin’ izany ihany izy.
[Terrible things will soon happen]; that will be a terrible day! There has never been such a time. It will be a time when [my] Israeli people will experience great trouble, but [finally] they will be saved [from their sufferings].”
8 Fa amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, dia hotapahiko ny ziogany ho afaka amin’ ny vozonao sy hotosako ny fatoranao. Ary ny firenena hafa tsy hampanompo anao intsony;
The Commander of the armies of angels says this: “At that time [it will be as though] I will sever/cut the ropes [that are around my people], and I will free them from being (slaves/forced to do what the King of Babylon wants them to do) [MET]. People in other countries will no longer be their bosses.
9 Fa ianao hanompo an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao sy Davida Mpanjakanao, Izay hatsangako ho anao.
My people will [again] serve me, Yahweh, their God, and [they will serve a king who is a descendant of] King David; [they will serve the king] whom I will appoint for them.
10 Koa aza matahotra ianao, ry Jakoba mpanompoko, hoy Jehovah; Ary aza mivadi-po, ry Isiraely; Fa, indro, hovonjeko avy any lavitra ianao ary ny taranakao avy any amin’ ny tany izay nahababo azy; Dia hiverina Jakoba ka hiadana sy handry fahizay, ka tsy hisy hanaitaitra azy.
So, [you people of] Israel who serve me, do not be dismayed/worried [now], because [some day] I will bring you back from distant places; I will bring your descendants [back home] from the land to which they were exiled. [Then you] Israeli people will [again] live peacefully and safely, and there will not be any [nation] that will cause you to be terrified.
11 Fa momba anao hamonjy anao Aho, hoy Jehovah; Koa na dia levoniko aza ny firenena rehetra izay nampielezako anao, Hianao tsy mba holevoniko; Nefa kosa mba hanariko araka ny antonony ihany ianao, fa tsy dia havelako fotsiny.
I, Yahweh, say that I will be with you and will rescue you; I will completely destroy the nations to which I have scattered you. But I will not completely destroy you. I will punish you [for your many sins], but I will punish you [only] as severely as you deserve: I would be doing wrong if I did not punish you at all.”
12 Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Maharary ny faharatranao, ary tsy azo sitranina ny ferinao.
Yahweh [also] says this: “[You have (suffered very much/endured many disasters)]; [it is as though] you have a terrible wound that cannot be cured.
13 Tsy misy handahatra ny teninao; Tsy manana plasitera fanasitranana hapetaka amin’ ny ferinao ianao.
There is no one to help you, no one to put a bandage on your wound. There is no [medicine that will] heal you.
14 Ireo tia anao dia efa nanadino anao avokoa, tsy mba notadiaviny ianao; Fa famelin’ ny fahavalo no namelezako anao, dia ny famaizan’ ny lozabe, noho ny habetsahan’ ny helokao sy ny hamaroan’ ny fahotanao.
All your allies [MET] have deserted you and they do not want to help you [any more]. [It is true that] I have punished you severely, [like your] enemies would wound you, because you have committed many sins and you are very guilty.
15 Nahoana ianao no mitaraina noho ny faharatranao sy noho ny fanaintainanao izay tsy azo atsahatra? Fa noho ny habetsahan’ ny helokao sy ny hamaroan’ ny fahotanao no nanaovako izany taminao.
[Because that is true], why do you protest about my punishing you, [as though I had caused] a wound that could not be cured [RHQ]? It was necessary for me to punish you, because you had committed many sins and you were very guilty.
16 Koa izay rehetra mihinana anao dia mba hohanina, ary izay rehetra mampahory anao dia ho lasan-ko babo, izay mamabo anao dia hobaboina, ary Izay rehetra mandroba anao dia hatolotro horobaina.
But [some day] all those who [are trying to] destroy you will be destroyed; all your enemies will be exiled [to other nations]. All those who have stolen things from you will have their [valuable] possessions stolen, and all those who attack you will be attacked.
17 Fa hotanterahiko ny fanasitranana anao, eny, hositraniko ny faharatranao, hoy Jehovah, noho ny nanaovany anao hoe: Ilay noroahina, sy hoe: Ziona tsy misy mpitady ity.
[Everyone] says that you are (outcasts/people that they no longer associate with), and that [you live in] Jerusalem, a city that no one cares about.” But Yahweh says, “I will heal your injuries/wounds and cause you to be healthy again.”
18 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, hampodiko avy amin’ ny fahababoana ny lain’ i Jakoba, ary ny fonenany dia hamindrako fo; ka ny tanàna dia haorina ao amin’ ny havoany, ary ny lapan’ andriana hitoetra ao amin’ izay mahamety azy.
This is what Yahweh says: “I will bring the people of Israel back from the lands to which they were taken and enable them to possess their land and their houses again. [When that happens], Jerusalem will be rebuilt on top of its ruins, and the [king’s] palace will be rebuilt to be like it was before.
19 Ary hisy fisaorana sy feon’ ny mifaly avy ao; Dia hahamaro azy Aho, ka tsy ho vitsy izy, sady hanome voninahitra azy Aho, ka tsy ho ambany izy.
People will [again] sing joyfully to thank [me], and I will cause there to be more people [in Jerusalem], not fewer; I will cause them to be honored, not despised.
20 Ny zanany koa ho tahaka ny tany aloha, ary ny fiangonany hampitoerina eo anatrehako, dia hovaliako izay rehetra mampahory azy.
Their children will [prosper] like they did before. I will cause them to be a group of people [who worship] me, and I will punish any [nation] that oppresses them.
21 Ary ilay malazany dia ho avy ao aminy ihany, ary ny mpanapaka azy dia ho avy ao aminy ihany koa; Ary hampanakaiky azy Aho, ka dia hanatona Ahy izy, fa iza no sahy hanao ny ainy ho antoka ka hanatona Ahy? hoy Jehovah.
One of their own people will be their king, and I will invite him to come close to me [to worship me], because no one [RHQ] would (dare/have courage) to come close to me [if I did not invite him].
22 Ary ianareo ho oloko, ary Izaho ho Andriamanitrareo.
You [Israeli people] will be my people, and I will be your God.”
23 He! ny tadion’ i Jehovah! Mivoaka ny fahatezerana sy ny tadio mitambolimbolina ka miantonta amin’ ny lohan’ ny ratsy fanahy.
Yahweh will punish [MTY] [your enemies]; [it will be like a great] storm; it will come down [like] a whirlwind, swirling around the heads of wicked people.
24 Ny firehetan’ ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah tsy ho afaka ambara-panefany sy ambara-panatanterany ny hevitry ny fony; Mbola ho fantatrareo marimarina izany any am-parany.
He will not stop being angry until he completely accomplishes [all] that he has planned. In the future, you will understand [all] of this [clearly].
