Jeremia 49

1 Ny amin’ ny taranak’ i Amona, Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Moa tsy manan-janakalahy va Isiraely? Ary tsy manan-kandova va izy? Koa nahoana Gada no lasan’ ny mpanjakany, ary ny vahoakany monina ao amin’ ny tanànany?

Of the sons of Ammon-Thus saith Yahweh: Hath Israel no, sons? Hath he no, heir? Why hath, Malkam, taken possession of Gad, Or have, his people, in the cities thereof, made their dwelling?

2 Koa, indro, avy ny andro, hoy Jehovah, izay hampandrenesako akoran’ ady amin’ ny famelezana an’ i Raban’ ny taranak’ i Amona, ary ho tanànaolo rava izy, ary ny zana-bohiny hodorana amin’ ny afo; Ary ny Isiraely hahalasa ny an’ izay nahalaza azy, hoy Jehovah.

Therefore, lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh When I will cause to be heard against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, an alarm of war, So shall she become a mound of desolation, And, her villages, with fire, shall blaze, —Then shall Israel, inherit them who inherited him, Saith Yahweh.

3 Midradradradrà, ry Hesbona, fa rava Ay! Mitaraina, ianareo zanakavavin’ i Raba! Misikìna lamba fisaonana ianareo; Manaova fisaonana, ary mivoivoiza eo anaty fefy; Fa lasan-ko babo ny mpanjakany, dia ny mpisorony sy ireo mpanapaka azy.

Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled Make outcry, ye daughters of Rabbah, Gird you with sackcloth, Lament ye and run to and fro among the fences, —For, Malkam, into captivity, shall go, His priests and his princes, together.

4 Nahoana no ny lohasaha no ataonao ho reharehanao, dia ny lohasahanao mahavokatra be. Ry zanakavavy mpiodina, izay mitoky amin’ ny rakiny ka manao hoe: Iza moa no ho afa-miakatra atỳ amiko?

Why shouldst thou glory in the vales, The flowing of thy vale O apostate daughter? She who is trusting in her treasures, [saying, ] Who shall invade, me?

5 Indro Aho hahatonga tahotra aminao avy amin’ izay rehetra manodidina anao, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro; Ary horoahina samy hizotra amin’ izay hitsiny avy ianareo rehetra, sady tsy hisy hamory izay mandositra.

Behold me! bringing upon thee, terror Declareth My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, From all who are round about thee, —And ye shall be driven out every man before it, And there shall be none to bring home the wanderer;

6 Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia hampodiko ihany avy amin’ ny fahababoana ny taranak’ i Amona, hoy Jehovah.

But afterwards, will I bring back the captivity of the sons of Ammon, Declareth Yahweh.

7 Ny amin’ i Edoma. Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Tsy misy fahendrena intsony va ao Temana? Very saina va ny olon-kendry? Lany va ny fahendreny?

Of Edom—Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Is there no longer wisdom in Teman? Hath counsel perished from the discerning? Is their wisdom corrupt?

8 Mandosira, miambohoa ianareo, mamitsaha ao amin’ ny lalina, ry mponina any Dedana, fa ny loza ho an’ i Esao dia nataoko nihatra taminy, dia ny andro hamaliako azy.

Flee ye turn go down deep to dwell, O inhabitant of Dedan, —For the doom of Esau, have I brought in upon him The time of his visitation.

9 Raha tonga ao aminao ny mpioty voaloboka, dia tsy hamela voaloboka sisa hotsimponina akory izy; Raha avy alina ny mpangalatra, dia handrava mandra-pahafa-pony izy.

If, grape-gatherers, came to thee, Would they not leave, gleanings? If, thieves in the night, Would they not have taken away what sufficed them?

10 Izaho dia nampitanjaka an’ i Esao, ary naharihariko ny fiereny, ka tsy mahazo miery izy; Ringana ny zanany sy ny rahalahiny ary ny namany, ka tsy ao intsony ireny.

But, I, have stripped Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, And to conceal himself, shall he not be able! Spoiled, are his seed, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not.

11 Ilaozy ny zanakao ho kamboty, fa Izaho no hamelona azy, ary aoka Izaho no hitokian’ ny vadinao mpitondratena.

Leave thy fatherless children I, will preserve them alive, —And thy widows, In me, let them trust.

12 Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, fa na dia izay tsy tokony hisotro amin’ ny kapoaka aza dia hisotro tokoa, ka moa ho afa-potsiny va ianao? Tsy ho afa-potsiny ianao, fa tsy maintsy hisotro tokoa.

For, thus saith Yahweh—Lo! they who had not been adjudged to drink the cup, shall surely drink, And art thou, the one to go unpunished? Thou shalt not go unpunished, but shalt surely drink.

13 Fa ny tenako no nianianako, hoy Jehovah, fa ho tonga figagana Bozra sy ho fandatsa sy ho rava ary ho fanozonana, ary ny tanànany rehetra ho lao mandrakizay.

For by myself, have I sworn, Declareth Yahweh, That, Bozrah shall become, an astonishment: a reproach and a desolation, and a contempt, —And all her cities shall become age-abiding desolations.

14 Fa efa nahare filazana avy tamin’ i Jehovah aho, ary nisy iraka nalefa ho any amin’ ny jentilisa hanao hoe: Mivoria ianareo, ka mankanesa hamely azy, ary mitsangàna hanafika.

A report, have I heard from Yahweh, Yea, an envoy, throughout the nations, hath been sent, —Gather yourselves together and come against her, And arise to the battle.

15 Fa, indro, hataoko tsinontsinona eo amin’ ny firenena ianao sy fanazimbazimba eo amin’ ny olona,

For lo! Small, have I made thee among the nations, —Despised among men!

16 Ry ilay monina ao an-tsefatsefaky ny harambato, Izay mifikitra amin’ ny tampon’ ny havoana, ny fahatahorana anao sy ny avonavon’ ny fonao no namitaka anao; Fa na dia ataonao eny amin’ ny avo tahaka ny an’ ny voromahery aza ny akaninao, dia havariko avy eny ianao, hoy Jehovah.

Thy monstrous thing, hath deceived thee, The insolence of thy heart, O thou that inhabitest the hidden recesses of the cliff, That holdest fast the height of the hill, —Though thou set high as an eagle, thy nest, From thence, will I bring thee down, Declareth Yahweh;

17 Ary ho figagana Edoma: Izay rehetra mandalo azy dia ho gaga ka hisitrisitra noho ny loza rehetra efa namelezana azy.

So shall, Edom, become an astonishment, —Every one passing by her, will be astonished and hiss, over all her plagues:

18 Ary toy ny nandravana an’ i Sodoma sy Gomora mbamin’ ny tanàna teny akaikiny, hoy Jehovah, no tsy hisian’ olona honina any, na zanak’ olombelona hivahiny any.

Like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and her neighbours, Saith Yahweh, —There shall not dwell there—a man, Nor sojourn therein—any son of the earth-born.

19 Indro, toy ny fiakatry ny liona avy any amin’ ny kirihitrala eny amoron’ i Jordana no hiakarany ho any amin’ ny misy ahitra mateza; Fa hampandosiriko tampoka Edoma hiala ao, ary izay olona iray voafidy no hotendreko hanapaka azy. Fa iza no tahaka Ahy, ary iza no hifandahatra amiko, ary iza moa no mpiandry ondry mahajanona eo anatrehako?

Lo! like a lion, will he come up from the majesty of the Jordan, unto the pasture perennial, But I will wink—I will make him run away therefrom, Who then shall be the Chosen One whom over it, I may set in charge? For who shall be like unto, me? And who shall appoint me, a time? And who is the Shepherd that shall stand before, me?

20 Koa henoy ny saina avy amin’ i Jehovah, Izay nosaininy hamelezana an’ i Edoma, sy ny heviny izay noheveriny hamelezana ny mponina ao Temana: Hoviraviraina tokoa ireny, dia ny kely indrindra amin’ ny ondry; Ho gaga azy tokoa ny saha fiandrasana azy.

Wherefore, hear ye The counsel of Yahweh which he hath counseled against Edom, And his devices which he hath devised against the inhabitants of Teman, —Surely the little ones of the flock shall drag them away, Surely he will cause their fold to be astounded over them.

21 Tamin’ ny fiezinezin’ ny fianjerany dia nihorohoro ny tany; Ny feon’ ny fitarainany dia re hatrany amin’ ny Ranomasina Mena.

At the noise of their fall, hath trembled the earth, At the outcry, in the Red Sea, was heard its noise.

22 Indro, hanidina hiakatra toy ny voromahery izy ka hamelatra ny elany eny ambonin’ i Bozra; Ary amin’ izany andro izany ny fon’ ny lehilahy maherin’ i Edoma dia ho tahaka ny fon’ ny vehivavy mihetsi-jaza.

Lo! as an eagle, he shall mount and dart, and spread his wings over Bozrah, —So shall the heart of the heroes of Edom, in that day, become as the heart of a woman in her pain.

23 Ny amin’ i Damaskosy. Very hevitra Hamata sy Arpada, fa nandre filazan-doza izy ka kivy; Misamboaravoara ny ranomasina ka tsy mety tafatoetra.

Of Damascus. Turned pale have Hamath and Arpad, For, a calamitous report, have they heard—they tremble, —In the sea, is anxiety, it cannot, rest.

24 Efa ketraka Damaskosy ka mihodìna handositra, fa, toran-kovitra izy; Ary azon’ ny faharariana sy ny fanaintainana, toy ny vehivavy raha miteraka.

Enfeebled is Damascus She hath turned to flee But terror, hath seized her, —Anguish and pangs, have seized her as a woman in childbirth.

25 Nahoana re no tsy nilaozana ny tanàna malaza, tanana fifaliako!

Alas! is she not forsaken—The city so praised! The citadel I rejoiced in!

26 Ka dia hiampatrampatra eny an-kalalahana ny zatovony. Ary ny miaramila rehetra ho ringana avokoa amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro.

Therefore shall her young men fall in her broadways, —And, all her men of war, shall be silent in that day, Declareth Yahweh of hosts;

27 Ary hisy afo hampirehetiko ao anatin’ ny mandan’ i Damaskosy, handevona ny lapan’ i Beni-hadada.

Then will I kindle a fire in the walls of Damascus, —And it shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.

28 Ny amin’ i Kedara sy ny fanjakan’ i Hazora, izay resin’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona. Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Mitsangàna ianareo, ka miakara hamely an’ i Kedara, ary aringano ny zanaky ny atsinanana.

Of Kedar. And of the kingdoms of Hazor Which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote—Thus, saith Yahweh, —Arise ye go up against Kedar, So shall they spoil the sons of the East:

29 Halainy ny lainy sy ny ondry aman’ osiny, ho entin’ ny ambain-dainy mbamin’ ny fanaka rehetra sy ny ramevany, sady hiantsoantso hilaza aminy hoe izy: Misy fampangorohoroana manodidina!

Their tents and their flocks, shall they take, And their curtains and all their baggage and their camels, shall they carry off for themselves, —And shall cry out unto them, Terror round about!

30 Mandosira, ka mandehana lavitra! Mamitsaha ao amin’ ny lalina, ry mponina any Hazora! hoy Jehovah; Fa Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, nanao saina hamelezany anareo sy namoron-kevitra hamelezany anareo.

Flee remove far away, go deep to dwell, Ye inhabitants of Hazor, Urgeth Yahweh; For Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon—hath counseled against you, a counsel, And devised against you a device.

31 Mitsangàna, iakaro ny firenena miadana izay tsy manana ahiahy, hoy Jehovah. Dia izay tsy misy vavahady mirindrina na mihidy sady mitoka-monina.

Arise ye, go up against a nation at ease—dwelling securely, Commandeth Yahweh, —Having neither doors nor bars, Alone, do they dwell:

32 Ho babo ny ramevany, ary horobaina ny omby aman’ ondriny betsaka, haeliko ho any amin’ ny rivotra rehetra ireo voahety sisim-bolo; Ary ho entiko avy amin’ ny manodidina rehetra ny loza hanjo azy, hoy Jehovah,

So shall their camels, become, a prey, And the throng of their cattle, a spoil, Then will I scatter them to every wind even the clipt-beards, —And from all sides of him, will I bring in their doom Declareth Yahweh.

33 Ary Hazora dia ho fonenan’ ny amboadia sy ho tany lao mandrakizay; Tsy hisy olona honina any, Na zanak’ olombelona hivahiny any.

So shall Hazor become A habitation of jackals An astonishment unto times age-abiding: There shall not dwell there—a man, Nor sojourn therein—a son of the earth-born.

34 Ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay tonga tamin’ i Jeremia mpaminany ny amin’ i Elama tamin’ ny niandohan’ ny nanjakan’ i Zedekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, hoe:

So much of the word of Yahweh as came unto Jeremiah the prophet, Against Elam, —in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah saying: —

35 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Indro, hotapatapahiko ny tsipìkan’ i Elama, Izay fototry ny heriny.

Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Behold me! breaking the bow of Elam, —The beginning of their might;

36 Ary hitondra Avotra efatra avy amin’ ny lafiny efatry ny lanitra Aho hamelezana an’ i Elama, ary haeliko ho amin’ izany rivotra rehetra izany izy, ka tsy hisy firenena izay tsy halehan’ ny voaroaka avy any Elama.

Then will I bring in against Elam four winds from the four quarters of the heavens, And will scatter them to all these winds, —And there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam, shall not come;

37 Fa hampivadi-po an’ i Elama eo anoloan’ ny fahavalony sy eo anoloan’ izay mitady ny ainy Aho ka hahatonga loza aminy, dia ny firehetan’ ny fahatezerako, hoy Jehovah; Ary hampanenjehiko azy ny sabatra Mandra-pandaniko azy;

And I will cause Elam to be dismayed Before their enemies Even before them who are seeking their life, So will I bring upon them calamity, Even the glow of mine anger Declareth Yahweh, —And will send after them the sword, until I have made an end of them;

38 Dia hapetrako ao Elasma ny seza fiandrianako. Ary hofongorako tsy hisy intsony any na ny mpanjaka na ny mpanapaka, hoy Jehovah.

And I will set my throne in Elam, —And will destroy, from thence king and princes, Declareth Yahweh;

39 Nefa any am-parany dia mbola hampodiko avy amin’ ny fahababoany ihany Elama, hoy Jehovah.

But it shall come to pass In the afterpart of the days, That I will bring back the captivity of Elam, Declareth Yahweh.
