Jeremia 31
1 Amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah, dia ho Andriamanitry ny isam-pianakavian’ ny Isiraely Aho, ary izy ho oloko.
At that time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.
2 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Hahita fitia any an-efitra ny olona izay sisa tsy matin’ ny sabatra; Handeha Aho ka hanome fitsaharana ho an’ ny Isiraely.
Thus saith the LORD, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.
3 Tany lavitra any no nisehoan’ i Jehovah tamiko ka nanao hoe: Fitiavana mandrakizay no nitiavako anao, koa izany no nampaharetako famindram-po ho anao.
The LORD appeared of old unto me, [saying], Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
4 Mbola hanorina anao indray Aho, ka dia hiorina ianao, ry Isiraely virijina! Ary mbola hiravaka mitondra ny ampongatapakao ianao ka hivoaka amin’ ny dihin’ ny mifaly.
Again will I build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: again shalt thou be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.
5 Mbola hanao tanim-boaloboka ao amin’ ny tendrombohitr’ i Samaria ianao; Ny mpamboly dia hamboly sady hihinana ny vokatra.
Again shalt thou plant vineyards upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall enjoy [the fruit thereof].
6 Fa mbola hisy andro hiantsoan’ ny mpitazana any amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima hoe: Mitsangana ianareo, ka andeha isika hiakatra any Ziona, Ho any amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika.
For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the hills of Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the LORD our God.
7 Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Mihobia amin’ ny fifaliana noho ny amin’ i Jakoba, ary mifalia noho ny amin’ ny lohan’ ny firenena, torionareo, deraonareo, ka ataovy hoe: Jehovah ô, vonjeo ny olonao, dia ny sisa amin’ ny Isiraely.
For thus saith the LORD, Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout for the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.
8 Indro, hitondra azy avy any amin’ ny tany avaratra Aho sy hanangona azy avy any amin’ ny faran’ ny tany, ka dia samy ho eny aminy avokoa na ny jamba na ny mandringa, na izay manan’ anaka na izay mihetsi-jaza; Irai-dia marenina no hiverina atỳ.
Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth, [and] with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall they return hither.
9 Amin’ ny fitomaniana no hihaviany, ary amin’ ny fifonany no hitondrako azy; Ary ho entiko ho eny amoron’ ny renirano izy, amin’ ny lalana mahitsy izay tsy hahatafintohina azy; Fa Rain’ Isiraely Aho, ary Efraima no lahimatoako.
They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.
10 Mihainoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah, ianareo jentilisa, ary torio any amin’ ny tany amoron-tsiraka any lavitra any izany, ka atao hoe: Izay nampiely ny Isiraely no hanangona azy indray sady hitandrina azy toy ny fitandrin’ ny mpiandry ondry ny ondriny.
Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off; and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.
11 Fa Jehovah efa nanavotra an’ i Jakoba sy efa nanafaka azy tamin’ ny tanan’ ny mahery noho izy.
For the LORD hath ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he.
12 Ka dia ho avy ireny ka hihoby ao amin’ ny havoan’ i Ziona, dia hitanjozotra ho any amin’ ny zava-tsoan’ i Jehovah, dia ny vary sy ny ranom-boaloboka sy ny diloilo sy ny zanak’ ondry ary ny zanak’ omby; Ary ny fanahiny ho toy ny tanimboly vonton-drano, ka tsy hihamalazo intsony.
And they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together unto the goodness of the LORD, to the corn, and to the wine, and to the oil, and to the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
13 Ary amin’ izany dia ho faly amin’ ny fandihizana ny virijina mbamin’ ny zatovo sy ny antitra koa; Fa hampodiko ho fifaliana ny fitomaniany, ka hampiononiko sy hampifaliko izy ho afaka alahelo.
Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
14 Dia hovokisako zava-matavy ny fanahin’ ny mpisorona, ary ny oloko ho voky ny zava-tsoako, hoy Jehovah.
And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the LORD.
15 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Nisy feo re tao Rama, dia fidradradradrana sy fitomaniana fatratra; Rahely nitomany ny zanany, ary tsy azo nampiononina izy noho ny amin’ ny zanany, satria lany ritra ireny.
Thus saith the LORD: A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children; she refuseth to be comforted for her children, because they are not.
16 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Atsaharo ny fitomanianao sy ny fandatsahanao ranomaso; Fa hisy valiny tokoa ny ataonao, hoy Jehovah, ary hody avy any amin’ ny tanin’ ny fahavalo ireny.
Thus saith the LORD: Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.
17 Ary misy fanantenana ho anao any am-parany, hoy Jehovah; Fa ny zaza dia hiverina ho any amin’ ny taniny indray.
And there is hope for thy latter end, saith the LORD; and [thy] children shall come again to their own border.
18 Efa reko tokoa Efraima nitomany ny tenany hoe: Nofaizanao aho, eny, nofaizana toy ny ombilahy kely tsy voafolaka; Avereno aho, dia ho tafaverina, fa Hianao no Jehovah Andriamanitro.
I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself [thus], Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a calf unaccustomed [to the yoke]: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the LORD my God.
19 Nony efa niverina tokoa aho, dia vao nahalala fanenenana; Ary rehefa nampahafantarina ny toe-tenako aho, dia niteha-tratra; Menatra sady mangaihay aho, fa latsain’ ny tsinin’ ny fahatanorako.
Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.
20 Zanako mahafinaritra va Efraima, zaza malalako va izy, no dia fatra-pahatsiaro azy isaky ny mitezitra azy Aho? Noho izany dia onena azy ny foko; Hamindra fo aminy tokoa Aho, hoy Jehovah.
Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for as often as I speak against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the LORD.
21 Manangàna famantaran-dalana ho anao ianao, manorena tsangam-bato; Saino tsara ny lalana efa voavoatra, dia ilay lalana efa nalehanao; Miverena indray, ry Isiraely virijina, miverena indray ho amin’ ireto tanànanao ireto.
Set thee up waymarks, make thee guide-posts: set thine heart toward the highway, even the way by which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.
22 Mandra-pahoviana no hirioriovanao, ry zanakavavy mpiodina? Fa Jehovah efa namorona zava-baovao amin’ ny tany: Vehivavy no hanodidina lehilahy.
How long wilt thou go hither and thither, O thou backsliding daughter? for the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall encompass a man.
23 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Mbola holavina indray ao amin’ ny tanin’ ny Joda sy ao amin’ ny tanànany izao teny izao, raha hampodiko avy amin’ ny fahababoany izy: Hotahin’ i Jehovah anie ianao, ry fonenan’ ny fahamarinana, sy ry tendrombohitry ny fahamasinana!
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Yet again shall they use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity: The LORD bless thee, O habitation of justice, O mountain of holiness.
24 Ary ny Joda sy ny tanànany rehetra dia hiara-monina ao aminy ho mpiasa tany sy ho mpilasy mitondra ny andian’ ny ondry aman’ osiny.
And Judah and all the cities thereof shall dwell therein together; the husbandmen, and they that go about with flocks.
25 Fa ny fanahy ana dia hampisotroiko, ary ny fanahy mihaosa rehetra dia hovokisako.
For I have satiated the weary soul, and every sorrowful soul have I replenished.
26 Ary tamin’ izay dia nahatsiaro aho ka nahita; Ary mamiko ny torimasoko.
Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me.
27 Indro, avy ny andro, hoy Jehovah, ka hafafiko eo amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely sy ny taranak’ i Joda Ny taranak’ olombelona sy ny taranaky ny biby fiompy.
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.
28 Ary toy ny niambenako azy hongotana sy hazera sy harodana sy horavana ary hampahorina, dia ho toy izany no hiambenako azy Haorina sy hambolena kosa, hoy Jehovah.
And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them to pluck up and to break down, and to overthrow and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them to build and to plant, saith the LORD.
29 Amin’ izany andro izany izy dia tsy hanao intsony hoe: ny ray no nihinana voaloboka maharikivy, ka ny nifin’ ny zanany no madilo.
In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.
30 Fa ny olona rehetra samy ho fatin’ ny helony avy; Izay rehetra homana ny voaloboka maharikivy. Dia izy ihany no hadilo nify.
But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.
31 Indro, avy ny andro, hoy Jehovah, Izay hanaovako fanekena vaovao amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely sy ny taranak’ i Joda,
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 Nefa tsy araka ny fanekena nataoko tamin’ ny razany tamin’ ny andro nitantanako azy nitondra azy nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta; Fa izy ireny dia nivadika ny fanekeko, Nefa Izaho no vadiny, hoy Jehovah.
not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD.
33 Fa izao no fanekena havoko amin’ ny taranak’ Isiraely. Rehefa afaka izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah: Dia hataoko ao an-tsainy ny lalàko sady hosoratako ao am-pony; Ary Izaho ho Andriamaniny, ary izy ho oloko.
But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the LORD; I will put my law in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people:
34 Ary samy tsy hampianatra ny namany sy ny rahalahiny avy intsony izy hoe: Mahalalà an’ i Jehovah; Fa samy hahalala Ahy avokoa izy rehetra. Hatramin’ ny kely indrindra ka hatramin’ ny lehibe indrindra, hoy Jehovah; Fa havelako ny helony, ary tsy hotsarovako intsony ny fahotany.
and they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I remember no more.
35 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Izay manome ny masoandro ho fahazavana amin’ ny antoandro ary ny filahatry ny volana sy ny kintana ho fahazavana amin’ ny alina, Izay mampanonja ny ranomasina, ka dia mirohondrohona ny onjany, Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no anarany:
Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which stirreth up the sea, that the waves thereof roar; the LORD of hosts is his name:
36 Raha miova eo anoloako izany filahatra izany, hoy Jehovah, dia hitsahatra tsy ho firenena eo anatrehako mandrakizay kosa ny taranak’ Isiraely.
If these ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.
37 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Raha misy maharefy ny lanitra ambony, na mahafantatra ny fanorenan’ ny tany ambany, dia Izaho kosa hanary ny taranak’ Isiraely rehetra noho izay rehetra nataony, hoy Jehovah.
Thus saith the LORD: If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, then will I also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.
38 Indro, avy ny andro, hoy Jehovah, Izay hanorenana ity tanàna ity indray ho an’ i Jehovah hatramin’ ny tilikambon’ i Hananela ka hatramin’ ny vavahady an-jorony.
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the city shall be built to the LORD from the tower of Hananel unto the gate of the corner.
39 Ary ny famolaina dia mbola hohenjaniko mahitsy hatreo an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra Gareba, dia hasangodina ho any Goa;
And the measuring line shall yet go out straight onward unto the hill Gareb, and shall turn about unto Goah.
40 Ary ny lohasaham-paty sy lavenona rehetra sy ny saha rehetra hatramin’ ny Lohasahan-driaka Kidrona ka hatramin’ ny zoron’ ny vavahadin-tsoavaly atsinanana dia ho masìna ho an’ i Jehovah; Tsy hongotana na horavana intsony izy mandrakizay.
And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields unto the brook Kidron, unto the corner of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy unto the LORD; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever.
