Jeremia 50
1 Izao no teny nampilazain’ i Jehovah an’ i Jeremia mpaminany ny amin’ i Babylona dia ny tanin’ ny Kaldeana.
The word that Jehovah hath spoken concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by the hand of Jeremiah the prophet:
2 Ambaraonareo, eny, torio any amin’ ny firenena, ary manangàna faneva, torio, fa aza afenina, ataovy hoe: Afaka Babylona! Mangaihay Bela, raiki-tahotra Merodaka! Eny, mangaihay ny sampiny, Raiki-tahotra ny sarin-javatra!
'Declare ye among nations, and sound, And lift up an ensign, sound, do not hide, Say ye: Captured hath been Babylon, Put to shame hath been Bel, Broken hath been Merodach, Put to shame have been her grievous things, Broken have been her idols.
3 Fa misy firenena avy any avaratra miakatra hamely azy ka hahatonga ny taniny ho lao tsy hisy mponina intsony; Fa na ny olona na ny biby dia samy handositra ka ho lasa avokoa.
For come up against her hath a nation from the north, It maketh her land become a desolation, And there is not an inhabitant in it. From man even unto beast, They have moved, they have gone.
4 Amin’ izany andro izany sy amin’ izany fotoana izany, hoy Jehovah, dia ho avy ny Zanak’ Isirsely, dia izy mbamin’ ny taranak’ i Joda, eny, handeha izy sady hitomany eny am-pandehanana ka hitady an’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny.
In those days, and at that time, An affirmation of Jehovah, Come in do sons of Israel, They and sons of Judah together, Going on and weeping they go, And Jehovah their God they seek.
5 Hanontany ny lalana mankany Ziona izy sady hanatrika hankany ka hanao hoe: Avia, ka maneke ho an’ i Jehovah amin’ ny fanekena mandrakizay izay tsy hohadinoina.
[To] Zion they ask the way, Thitherward [are] their faces: Come in, and we are joined unto Jehovah, A covenant age-during — not forgotten.
6 Ondry very ny oloko, fa ny mpiandry azy nampirenireny azy, eny, nampirenireny azy teny an-tendrombohitra izy; Nirenireny teny an-tendrombohitra sy teny an-kavoana ireny. Ka hadinony ny tany fandriany.
A perishing flock hath My people been, Their shepherds have caused them to err, [To] the mountains causing them to go back, From mountain unto hill they have gone, They have forgotten their crouching-place.
7 Izay rehetra nahita azy dia nandringana azy, ary ny fahavalony nanao hoe: Tsy manan-keloka izahay, satria izy efa nanota tamin’ i Jehovah, fonenan’ ny fahamarinana, dia Jedovah, fanantenan’ ny razany.
All finding them have devoured them, And their adversaries have said: We are not guilty, Because that they sinned against Jehovah, The habitation of righteousness, And the hope of their fathers — Jehovah.
8 Mandosira hila an’ i Babylona, eny, mialà amin’ ny tanin’ ny Kaldeana, ary aoka ianareo ho tahaka ny anankiray izay tari-dalan’ ny ondry aman’ osy andiany.
Move ye from the midst of Babylon, And from the land of the Chaldeans go out. And be as he-goats before a flock.
9 Fa, indro, Izaho hamporisika sy hampiakatra firenena lehibe manao andiany avy any avaratra hamely an’ i Babylona; Ary hilahatra hamely azy ireo, ka avy ao no hanafahany azy; Ny zana-tsipìkany ho tahaka ny lehilahy mahery sady mahay, izay tsy miverina foana.
For, lo, I am stirring up, And am causing to come up against Babylon, An assembly of great nations from a land of the north, And they have set in array against her, From thence she is captured, Its arrow — as a skilful hero — returneth not empty,
10 Ary Kaldea ho voababo; Izay rehetra mamabo azy dia ho afa-po, hoy Jehovah.
And Chaldea hath been for a spoil, All her spoilers are satisfied, An affirmation of Jehovah.
11 Satria, mifaly sy miravoravo ianareo, ry mpamabo ny lovako, eny, mifalihavanja toy ny ombivavy kely mively vary ianareo sady maneno toy ny soavaly matanjaka;
Because thou rejoicest, because thou exultest, O spoilers of Mine inheritance, Because thou increasest as a heifer [at] the tender grass, And dost cry aloud as bulls,
12 Dia ho menatra indrindra ny reninareo, hangaihay ilay niteraka anareo; Indro, ny faran’ ny firenena, efitra sy tany karankaina ary tani-hay!
Ashamed hath been your mother greatly, Confounded hath she been that bare you, Lo, the hindermost of nations [is] a wilderness, A dry land, and a desert.
13 Noho ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah dia tsy honenana Babylona. Fa ho tonga tany lao avokoa; Izay rehetra mandalo azy dia ho gaga ka hisitrisitra noho ny loza rehetra namelezana azy.
Because of the wrath of Jehovah it is not inhabited, And it hath been a desolation — all of it. Every passer by at Babylon is astonished, And doth hiss because of all her plagues.
14 Milahara manodidina hamely an’ i Babylona, ianareo rehetra izay manenjana tsipìka; Asio izy, fa aza tsitsina ny zana-tsipìka, fa tamin’ i Jehovah no nanotany.
Set yourselves in array against Babylon round about, All ye treading a bow, Shoot at her, have no pity on the arrow, For against Jehovah she hath sinned.
15 Akoray manodidina izy! Fa efa nikoy; Nirodana ny bateriny, rava ny mandany; Fa famalian’ i Jehovah izany. Valio izy, eny, toy ny efa nataony no mba ataovinareo aminy kosa.
Shout against her round about, She hath given forth her hand, Fallen have her foundations, Thrown down have been her walls, For it [is] the vengeance of Jehovah, Be avenged of her, as she did — do ye to her.
16 Aringano tsy ho any Babylona ny mpamafy sy izay mitana fijinjana amin’ ny fararano; Fa noho ny sabatra mandoza dia samy hihodina ho any amin’ ny fireneny avy izy, ary samy handositra ho any amin’ ny taniny avy.
Cut off the sower from Babylon, And him handling the sickle in the time of harvest, Because of the oppressing sword, Each unto his people — they turn, And each to his land — they flee.
17 Ondry iray voavily ny Isiraely, Liona no nanenjika azy; Voalohany dia ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria no nandany azy. Ary farany dia ity Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, ity no nanapatapaka ny taolany.
A scattered sheep is Israel, lions have driven away, At first, devour him did the king of Asshur, And now, at last, broken his bone Hath Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.
18 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Indro, hovaliko ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona sy ny taniny toy ny efa namaliako ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria.
Therefore thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am seeing after the king of Babylon, And after his land, As I have seen after the king of Asshur;
19 Ary hampodiko ho any amin’ ny saha fiandrasana azy indray ny Isiraely, ka hihinana ao Karmela sy Basana izy; Ary any an-tany havoan’ i Daima sy Gileada no hahavoky azy.
And I have brought back Israel unto his habitation, And he hath fed on Carmel, and on Bashan. And in mount Ephraim, and on Gilead is his soul satisfied.
20 Amin’ izany andro izany sy amin’ izany fotoana izany, hoy Jehovah, dia hotadiavina izay heloky ny Isiraely, fa tsy hisy; Ary izay fahotan’ ny Joda, fa tsy ho hita; Satria havelako ny helok’ izay sisa narovako.
In those days, and at that time, An affirmation of Jehovah, Sought is the iniquity of Israel, and it is not, And the sin of Judah, and it is not found, For I am propitious to those whom I leave!
21 Iakaro Ibefikomiana sy ny mponina ao Arapamaliana; Ravao sy aringano manarakaraka azy, hoy Jehovah, ary manaova araka izay rehetra nandidiako anao.
Against the land of Merathaim: Go up against it, and unto the inhabitants of Pekod, Waste and devote their posterity, An affirmation of Jehovah, And do according to all that I have commanded thee.
22 Misy tabataban’ ady amin’ ny tany sy fandringanana be.
A noise of battle [is] in the land, and of great destruction.
23 Indrisy! tapaka sy torotoro ilay fampohazan’ ny tany rehetra; Indrisy! Babylona efa tonga figagana any amin’ ny firenena.
How hath it been cut and broken, The hammer of the whole earth! How hath Babylon been for a desolation among nations!
24 Nofandrihako ianao, ry Babylona, ka voa, nefa tsy fantatrao akory; Hita ka voasambotra koa ianao, Satria nila ady tamin’ i Jehovah.
I have laid a snare for thee, And also — thou art captured, O Babylon, And thou — thou hast known, Thou hast been found, and also art caught, For against Jehovah thou hast stirred thyself up.
25 Novohan’ i Jehovah ny firaketany. Ka navoakany ny fitaovan’ ny fahatezerany; Fa misy hataon’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Kaldeana.
Jehovah hath opened His treasury, And He bringeth out the weapons of His indignation, For a work [is] to the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, In the land of the Chaldeans.
26 Avia avokoa ianareo rehetra hamely azy; Vohay ny trano fitoeran-kanina, atobitobio toy ny antontan-bary, ka levony avokoa izay ao; Fa aza avela hisy sisa ho azy.
Come ye in to her from the extremity, Open ye her storehouses, Raise her up as heaps, and devote her, Let her have no remnant.
27 Vonoy ireo ombilahy rehetra, ary aoka hidina ho any amin’ ny famonoana izy. Mahita loza izy, fa tonga ny androny, dia ny fotoana hamaliana azy.
Slay all her kine, they go down to slaughter, Woe [is] on them, for come hath their day, The time of their inspection.
28 Injany! misy feon’ izay mandositra sy izay afaka avy any amin’ ny tany Babylona, hanambara ny famalian’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika ao Ziona, dia ny famaliana noho ny tempoliny.
A voice of fugitives and escaped ones [Is] from the land of Babylon, To declare in Zion the vengeance of Jehovah our God, The vengeance of His temple.
29 Antsoy ny mpandefa zana-tsipìka hamely an’ i Babylona. Dia ny mpanenjana tsipìka rehetra; Mitobia manodidina hamely azy; Aoka tsy hisy ho afaka izy; Valio araka ny asany izy, eny, araka ny asa rehetra nataony, no mba ataovy aminy kosa; Fa niavonavona tamin’ i Jehovah izy, dia tamin’ ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely.
Summon unto Babylon archers, all treading the bow, Encamp against her round about, Let [her] have no escape; Recompense to her according to her work, According to all that she did — do to her, For unto Jehovah she hath been proud, Unto the Holy One of Israel.
30 Koa hiampatrampatra eny an-kalalahana ny zatovony, ary ho ringana ny miaramilany rehetra amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah.
Therefore fall do her young men in her broad places, And all her men of war are cut off in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah.
31 Indro, hiatrika aminao Aho, ry Ifiavonavonana, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro; Fa tonga ny andronao, dia ny fotoana hamaliako anao.
Lo, I [am] against thee, O pride, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, For thy day hath come, the time of thy inspection.
32 Ho tafintohina Ifiavonavonana, dia ho lavo, ka tsy hisy hanarina azy; Ary handrehitra afo ao an-tanànany Aho, ka handevona ny manodidina azy rehetra izany.
And stumbled hath pride, And he hath fallen, and hath no raiser up, And I have kindled a fire in his cities, And it hath devoured all round about him.
33 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Niara-nampahorina ny Zanak’ Isiraely sy ny taranak’ i Joda; Ary izay rehetra namabo azy dia mihazona azy mafy ka tsy mety mandefa azy.
Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Oppressed are the sons of Israel, And the sons of Judah together, And all their captors have kept hold on them, They have refused to send them away.
34 Mahery ny Mpanavotra azy, Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no anarany; Handahatra ny adiny tokoa Izy, mba hampiadana ny tany sy hampangovitra ny mponina any Babylona kosa.
Their Redeemer [is] strong, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name, He doth thoroughly plead their cause, So as to cause the land to rest, And He hath given trouble to the inhabitants of Babylon.
35 Indro! hisy sabatra hamely ny Kaldeana mbamin’ ny mponina any Babylona sy ny mpanapaka azy sy ny olon-kendriny, hoe Jehovah.
A sword [is] for the Chaldeans, An affirmation of Jehovah, And it [is] on the inhabitants of Babylon, And on her heads, and on her wise men;
36 Indro! hisy sabatra hamely ny mpibedibedy, ka ho very saina izy; Indro! hisy sabatra hamely ny lehilahy maheriny, ka hivadi-po izy.
A sword [is] on the princes, And they have become foolish; A sword [is] on her mighty ones, And they have been broken down;
37 Indro! hisy sabatra hamely ny soavaliny sy ny kalesiny mbamin’ ny olona samy hafa firenena rehetra ao aminy, ka ho tonga toy ny vehivavy ireny! Indro! Hisy sabatra hamely ny firaketany, ka horobaina izany.
A sword [is] on his horses and on his chariot, And on all the rabble who [are] in her midst, And they have become women; A sword [is] on her treasuries, And they have been spoiled;
38 Ny fihantonan’ ny andro no mahatankina ny ranony; Fa tany be sarin-javatra voasokitra izy, ary ny sampiny mahatahotra mahadala azy.
A sword [is] on her waters, and they have been dried up, For it [is] a land of graven images, And in idols they do boast themselves.
39 Koa ny bibi-dia any an-efitra sy ny kary sy ny ostritsa no honina ao; Tsy honenana intsony mandrakizay izy ary tsy hitoerana hatramin’ ny taranaka fara-mandimby.
Therefore dwell do Ziim with Iim, Yea, dwelt in her have daughters of the ostrich, And it is not inhabited any more for ever, Nor dwelt in unto all generations.
40 Toy ny nandravan’ Andriamanitra an’ i Sodoma sy Gomora mbamin’ ny tanàna eny akaikiny, hoy Jehovah, no tsy hisian’ olona honina any na zanak’ olombelona hivahiny any.
As overthrown by God with Sodom, And with Gomorrah, and with its neighbours, An affirmation of Jehovah, none doth dwell there, Nor sojourn in her doth a son of man.
41 Indro, misy firenena avy any avaratra, dia firenena lehibe sy mpanjaka maro no mitsangana avy any amin’ ny faran’ ny tany.
Lo, a people hath come from the north, Even a great nation, And many kings are stirred up from the sides of the earth.
42 Tsipika sy lefona no entiny; Lozabe sy tsy mamindra fo izy, ny feony dia mirohondrohona toy ny ranomasina, sady mitaingin-tsoavaly izy ary voaomana tahaka ny lehilahy ho amin’ ny ady, hamely anao, ry Babylona zanakavavy.
Bow and halbert they seize, Cruel [are] they, and they have no mercy, Their voice as a sea soundeth, and on horses they ride, Set in array as a man for battle, Against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
43 Efa ren’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona ny lazany, ka miraviravy tànany izy; Fahoriana no mahazo azy, eny, fanaintainana tahaka ny vehivavy raha miteraka.
Heard hath the king of Babylon their report, And feeble have been his hands, Distress hath seized him; pain as a travailing woman.
44 Indro, toy ny fiakatry ny liona avy ao amin’ ny kirihitrala eny amoron’ i Jordana no hiakarany ho any amin’ ny misy ahitra mateza; Nefa hampandosiriko tampoka hiala ao aminy izy, ary izay olona anankiray 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, as a lion he cometh up, Because of the rising of the Jordan, Unto the enduring habitation, But I cause to rest, I cause them to run from off her. And who is chosen? on her I lay a charge, For who [is] like Me? And who doth convene Me? And who [is] this shepherd who standeth before Me?
45 Koa henoy ny saina avy amin’ i Jehovah, izay nosaininy hamelezana an’ i Babylona, sy ny heviny izay noheveriny hamelezana ny tanin’ ny Kaldeana: Hoviraviraina tokoa ireny, dia ny kely indrindra amin’ ny ondry; Ho gaga azy tokoa ny saha fiandrasana azy.
Therefore, hear ye the counsel of Jehovah, That He counselled concerning Babylon, And His devices that He hath devised Concerning the land of the Chaldeans; Drag them out do not little ones of the flock, Doth He not make desolate over them the habitation?
46 Noho ny antsoantso hoe: “Efa afaka Babylona”, dia mihorohoro ny tany, ary ny fitarainana dia re any amin’ ny firenena.
From the voice: Captured was Babylon, Hath the earth been shaken, And a cry among nations hath been heard!
