Jeremia 51

1 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, hamporisihiko ny fanahin’ ny mpandringana hamely an’ i Babylona sy izay monina ao Leba-kamay.

THE WORD THAT CAME TO JEREMIAS for all the Jews dwelling in the land of Egypt, and for those settled in Magdolo and in Taphnas, and in the land of Pathura, saying,

2 Ary haniraka olona hafa firenena ho any Babylona Aho, izay hikororoka azy ka hahafoana ny taniny; Fa hamely azy manodidina amin’ ny andro fahoriana ireo.

Thus has the Lord God of Israel said; You have seen all the evils which I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon the cities of Juda; and, behold, they are desolate without inhabitants,

3 Izay manenjana tsipìka mbamin’ izay miandranandrana amin’ ny akanjo fiarovan-tenany, dia aoka samy hasian’ izay manenjana tsipìka; Aza tsitsinareo ny zatovony, aringano avokoa ny miaramilany rehetra,

because of their wickedness, which they have wrought to provoke me, [by] going to burn incense to other gods, whom you knew not.

4 Mba hiampatrampatra any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Kaldeana ny faty, ary izay voatrobaka dia hiampatrampatra any an-dalambeny.

yet I sent to you my servants the prophets early in the morning, and I sent, saying, Do not you this abominable thing which I hate.

5 Fa Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely sy ny Joda, dia tsy hahafoy azy ho mpitondratena, na dia henika ny fahotany amin’ ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely aza ny taniny.

But they listened not to me, and inclined not their ear to turn from their wickedness, so as not to burn incense to strange gods.

6 Mandosira hiala an’ i Babylona ianareo, ary samia mamonjy ny ainareo avy; Aoka tsy ho voaringana noho ny fahotany ianareo; Fa izao no andro famalian’ i Jehovah, Izy no hamaly azy.

So mine anger and my wrath dropped [upon them], and was kindled in the gates of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they became a desolation and a waste, as at this day.

7 Babylona dia kapoaka volamena teny an-tànan’ i Jehovah, Izay nahamamo ny tany rehetra; Ny divainy efa nisotroan’ ny firenena, koa izany no nahavery saina ireny.

And now thus has the Lord Almighty said, Therefore do you commit [these] great evils against your souls? to cut off man and woman of you, infant and suckling from the midst of Juda, to the end that not one of you should be left;

8 Tampoka no naharavan’ i Babylona sy nahatorotoroany; Idradradradrao izy; Makà balsama hatao amin’ ny feriny maharary azy, fa angamba ho sitrana ihany izy.

by provoking me with the works of your hands, to burn incense to other gods in the land of Egypt, into which you entered to dwell there, that you might be cut off, and that you might become a curse and a reproach amongst all the nations of the earth?

9 Nitady hanasitrana an’ i Babylona izahay, nefa tsy nety sitrana izy; Afoizo izy, ka andeha isika samy handeha ho any amin’ ny tanintsika avy; Fa mahatakatra ny lanitra ny helony ary mitehika amin’ ny rahona.

Have you forgotten the sins of your fathers, and the sins of the kings of Juda, and the sins of your princes, and the sins of your wives, which they wrought in the land of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem?

10 Nasehon’ i Jehovah ny fahamarinantsika; Andeha, ka aoka hotorintsika ao Ziona ny asan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika.

And have not ceased even to this day, and they have not kept to my ordinances, which I set before their fathers.

11 Lambolamboy ny zana-tsipìka, tano ny ampinga; Jehovah efa namporisika ny fanahin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Mediana; Fa ny hamely an’ i Babylona no nosaininy, mba handringanana azy; Fa famalian’ i Jehovah izany, eny, famaliana noho ny tempoliny.

Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold I do set my face against [you]

12 Manangàna faneva eo akaikin’ ny mandan’ i Babylona; Ataovy mafy ny fiambenana; Alatsaho ny mpiambina, alamino ny Otrika; Fa Jehovah sady efa nisaina no nahatanteraka izay nolazainy ny amin’ ny mponina any Babylona.

to destroy all the remnant that are in Egypt; and they shall fall by the sword, and by famine, and shall be consumed small and great: and they shall be for reproach, and for destruction, and for a curse.

13 Hianao izay monina eny amoron’ ny rano be sady be rakitra, tonga ny fiafaranao, ka tsy hisy intsony ny filanao harena.

And I will visit them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have visited Jerusalem, with sword and with famine:

14 Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, nianiana tamin’ ny tenany hoe: Hofenoiko olona maro toy ny valala tokoa ianao, ary ireny dia hanakora hamely anao,

and there shall not one be preserved of the remnant of Juda that sojourn in the land of Egypt, to return to the land of Juda, to which they hope in their hearts to return: they shall not return, but only they that escape.

15 Dia Ilay nanao ny tany tamin’ ny heriny sy nampiorina izao tontolo izao tamin’ ny fahendreny ary namelatra ny lanitra tamin’ ny fisainany.

Then all the men that knew that their wives burnt incense, and all the women, a great multitude, and all the people that lived in the land of Egypt, in Pathura, answered Jeremias, saying,

16 Raha nampirohondrohona ny rano any an-danitra Izy, dia nampiakatra zavona avy tany amin’ ny faran’ ny tany; Manao ny helatra ho an’ ny ranonorana Izy sady mamoaka ny rivotra avy amin’ ny firaketany.

[As for] the word which you have spoken to us in the name of the Lord, we will not listen to you.

17 Efa ketrina avokoa ny olona rehetra ka tsy manam-pahalalana; Menarina ny mpanefy volamena rehetra noho ny amin’ ny sarin-javatra voasokitra; Fa fitaka ny sarin-javatra an-idina, satria tsy misy aina ao aminy.

For we will surely perform every word that shall proceed out of our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour drink-offerings to her, as we and our fathers have done, and our kings and princes, in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem: and [so] we were filled with bread, and were well, and saw no evils.

18 Zava-poana ireny, dia asa mahatsikaiky foana; Amin’ ny andro hamaliana azy dia ho levona izy.

But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, we have all been brought low, and have been consumed by sword and by famine.

19 Tsy mba tahaka ireo ny Anjaran’ i Jakoba, fa Mpamorona ny zavatra rehetra Izy; Ary ny Isiraely no firenena lovany; Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no anarany.

And whereas we burnt incense to the queen of heaven, and poured drink-offerings to her, did we make cakes to her, and pour drink-offerings to her, without our husbands?

20 Langilangiko sy fiadiako ianao; Fa ianao no ho entiko manorotoro firenena, ary ianao no ho entiko mandringana fanjakana,

Then Jeremias answered all the people, the mighty men, and the women, and all the people that returned him [these] words for answer, saying,

21 Ary ianao no ho entiko manorotoro soavaly sy ny mpitaingina azy, ary ianao no ho entiko manorotoro ny kalesy sy ny mpitaingina azy;

Did not the Lord remember the incense which you burnt in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you, and your fathers, and your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land? and came it not into his heart?

22 Hianao koa no ho entiko manorotoro ny lehilahy sy ny vehivavy, ary ianao no ho entiko manorotoro ny antitra sy ny tanora, ary ianao no ho entiko manorotoro ny zatovo sy ny virijina;

And the Lord could no longer bear [you], because of the wickedness of your doings, and because of your abominations which you wrought; and so your land became a desolation and a waste, and a curse, as at this day;

23 Hianao koa no ho entiko manorotoro ny mpiandry ondry sy ny ondry andiany, ary ianao no ho entiko manorotoro ny mpiasa tany sy ny ombiny roa mizioga, ary ianao no ho entiko manorotoro ny governora sy ny lefiny.

because of your burning incense, and [because] of the things wherein you sinned against the Lord: and you have not listened to the voice of the Lord, and have not walked in his ordinances, and in his law, and in his testimonies; and so these evils have come upon you.

24 Ary hampanodiaviko an’ i Babylona sy ny mponina rehetra any Kaldea ny ratsy rehetra izay efa nataony tao Ziona teo imasonareo, hoy Jehovah.

And Jeremias said to the people, and to the women, Hear you the word of the Lord.

25 Indro mamely anao Aho, ry tendrombohitra ahitan-doza. Izay mandringana ny tany rehetra, hoy Jehovah; Ary hahinjitro ny tanako hamelezana anao, dia hakodiako hianjera amin’ ny harambato ianao ka hataoko tendrombohitra mirehitra.

Thus has the Lord God of Israel said; You women have spoken with your mouth, and you fulfilled [it] with your hands, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour drink-offerings to her: full well did you keep to your vows, and you have indeed performed [them].

26 Ary tsy mba hakana vato hatao fehizoro ianao, na hatao vato fanorenana; Fa ho lao mandrakizay ianao, hoy Jehovah.

Therefore hear you the word of the Lord, all Jews dwelling in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, says the Lord, my name shall no longer be in the mouth of every Jew to say, The Lord lives, in all the land of Egypt.

27 Manangana faneva eny amin’ ny tany; Mitsofa anjomara any amin’ ny firenena; Manendre firenena hamely azy; Antsoy ny fanjakan’ i Ararata sy Miny ary Askenaza hamely azy; Asio mpifehy hamely azy; Mampiakara soavaly toy ny valala volovoloina.

For I have watched over them, to hurt them, and not to do them good: and all the Jews dwelling in the land of Egypt shall perish by sword and by famine, until they are utterly consumed.

28 Manendre firenena sy ireo mpanjakan’ ny Mediana hamely azy, ny governora sy ny lefiny rehetra ary ny tany rehetra anjakany.

And they that escape the sword shall return to the land of Juda few in number, and the remnant of Juda, who have continued in the land [of] Egypt to dwell there, shall know whose word shall stand.

29 Mihorohoro sy mangovitra ny tany; Fa tanterahina amin’ i Babylona ny fikasan’ i Jehovah rehetra, mba hahatonga ny tany Babylona ho lao tsy misy mponina.

And this [shall be] a sign to you, that I will visit you for evil.

30 Nitsahatra tamin’ ny ady ny lehilahy maherin’ i Babylona, nitoetra tao amin’ ny batery fiarovana izy, lany ny heriny; Tonga toy ny vehivavy izy; Nodorana ny fonenany, tapaka ny hidiny.

Thus said the Lord; Behold, I [will] give Uaphres king of Egypt into the hands of his enemy, and into the hands of one that seeks his life; as I gave Sedekias king of Juda into the hands of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, his enemy, and who sought his life.

31 Mifamoivoy be ihany ny iraka mpihazakazaka, ary mifamoivoy be ihany ny mpitondra teny, mba hanambara amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona Fa afaka ny tanànany manontolo.

THE WORD WHICH JEREMIAS THE PROPHET spoke to Baruch son of Nerias, when he wrote these words in the book from the mouth of Jeremias, in the fourth year of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda.

32 Ary efa azo ny fitàna, ary nodorany tamin’ ny afo ny heniheny, sady toran-kovitra ny miaramila.

Thus has the Lord said to you, O Baruch.

33 Fa izao no lazain i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Babylona zanakavavy dia tahaka ny famoloana amin’ ny andro anosena azy; Ary raha mbola tsy toy inona dia ho avy ny andro hijinjana azy.

Whereas you have said, Alas! alas! for the Lord has laid a grievous trouble upon me; I lay down in groaning, I found no rest;

34 Efa lanin’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, izahay; Naringany izahay; Napetrany toy ny vata tsy misy entana izahay; Nateliny toy ny fitelin’ ny mamba izahay; Nivokisan’ ny kibony ny zava-piko, ka dia nandroaka ahy izy.

say you to him, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I pull down those whom I have built up, and I pluck up those whom I have planted.

35 Aoka ny mponina ao Ziona hanao hoe: Hanody an’ i Babylona anie ny loza nanjo ahy sy ny nofoko! Ary aoka Jerosalema hanao hoe: Hanody ny mponina any Kaldea anie ny rako!

And will you seek great things for yourself? seek [them] not: for, behold, I bring evil upon all flesh, says the Lord: but I will give [to you] your life for a spoil in every place whither you shall go.

36 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, hisolo vava anao amin’ ny adinao Aho sady hanao famaliana ho anao, ary horitiko ny ranomasiny, sy hataoko tankina ny loharanony.

37 Ary Babylona ho tonga korontam-bato, ho fonenan’ ny amboadia, ho figagana sy ho zavatra mampisitrisitra, ka tsy hisy mponina.

38 Hiara-mierona toy ny liona tanora izy; Hikaonkaona toy ny zana-diona izy.

39 Raha mbola liana izy, dia hanaovako fanasana ho azy, ka hataoko mamo izy mba hiravoravo, dia hatory amin’ ny torimaso mandrakizay izy ka tsy hifoha intsony, hoy Jehovah.

40 Hampidiniko ho any amin’ ny famonoana toy ny zanak’ ondry izy, sy toy ny ondrilahy mbamin’ ny osilahy.

41 Endrey! afaka Sesaka! Ary azo ilay fidèran’ ny tany rehetra, Endrey! tonga figagana any amin’ ny firenena Babylona.

42 Ny ranomasina nanafotra an’ i Babylona; Voasaron’ ny habetsahan’ ny onjany izy.

43 Ny tanànany dia lao sy karankaina ary tani-hay, dia tany tsy onenan’ olona sady tsy misy zanak’ olombelona mamaky eo.

44 Ary Bela dia hampijaliko any Babylona, ka hasaiko haloany izay nateliny; Ary ny firenena tsy hitanjozotra hankany aminy intsony; Ny mandan’ i Babylona dia hirodana.

45 Mivoaha avy ao afovoany ianareo, ry oloko, ary samia mamonjy ny ainareo avy ianareo, mba tsy ho azon’ ny firehetan’ ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah.

46 Ary fandrao ketraka ny fonareo, ka matahotra ianareo noho ny tsaho miely amin’ ny tany; Fa amin’ ny iray taona dia hisy tsaho, ary amin’ ny taona manaraka indray dia mbola hisy tsaho ihany koa sy loza amin’ ny tany, dia mpanapaka mamely mpanapaka.

47 koa, indro, avy ny andro hamaliako ny sarin-javatr’ i Babylona; Ho menatra ny taniny rehetra; Ary ny fatiny rehetra dia hiampatrampatra eo aminy.

48 Ny lanitra sy ny tany sy izay rehetra ao aminy dia hihoby noho ny amin’ i Babylona, satria tonga ao aminy avy any avaratra ireo mpandringana, hoy Jehovah.

49 Toy ny nampiampatramparan’ i Babylona ny faty tamin’ ny Isiraely, dia ho toy izany no hiampatramparan’ ny faty amin’ ny tany rehetra noho ny amin’ i Babylona.

50 Hianareo izay tsy voan’ ny sabatra, mialà, fa aza mijanona; Tsarovy Jehovah, raha mbola lavitra ianareo. Ary aoka ho mby an-tsainareo Jerosalema.

51 Menatra izahay, fa efa nandre latsa; Manarona ny atrehinay ny henatra; Fa ny hafa firenena no niditra teo amin’ ny fitoerana masìna amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah.

52 Koa, indro, avy ny andro, hoy Jehovah, izay hamaliako ny sarin-javatra voasokitra ao koa; Ary hitoloko eran’ ny taniny rehetra ny voatrobaka.

53 Na dia miakatra any an-danitra aza Babylona, ary na dia ataony mafy aza ny fitoerana avo izay heriny, dia avy amiko no hihavian’ ny mpandringana azy, hoy Jehovah;

54 Injany! misy feo mitaraina avy any Babylona sy fandringanana be avy any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Kaldeana!

55 Fa Jehovah no mandrava an’ i Babylona sy mampitsahatra ny fihorakorahana eo aminy, ary hirohondrohona toy ny rano be ny onjany, eny, re tokoa ny feon’ ny firohondrohony.

56 Fa tonga ao aminy, dia ao Babylona, ny mpandringana, ary voasambotra ny lehilahy maheriny; Tapatapaka avokoa ny tsipìkany Satria Jehovah dia Andriamanitry ny famaliana ka hamaly tokoa.

57 Ary hataoko mamo ny mpanapaka azy sy ny olon-kendriny, ny governorany sy ny lefiny ary ny olo-maheriny; Ary hatory amin’ ny torimaso mandrakizay izy ka tsy hifoha intsony, hoy ny Mpanjaka, Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no anarany.

58 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Ny manda malalaka any Babylona dia horavana tokoa hatramin’ ny fanorenany, ary ny vavahadiny avo hodorana amin’ ny afo. Ka dia ho nisasatra foana ny firenena, ary ny olona ho nisasatra ho an’ ny afo ka ho reraka.

59 Ny teny izay nandidian’ i Jeremia mpaminany an’ i Seraia, zanak’ i Neria, zanak’ i Mahaseia, fony izy nandeha niaraka tamin’ i Zedekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, ho any Babylona tamin’ ny taona fahefatra nanjakany. Fa Seraia no lehiben’ ny mpanorin-dasy.

60 Ary nosoratan’ i Jeremia teo amin’ ny boky iray ny loza rehetra izay hanjo an’ i Babylona, dia ireo teny rehetra ireo, izay voasoratra ny amin’ i Babylona.

61 Ary hoy Jeremia tamin’ i Seraia: Rehefa tonga any Babylona ianao, dia tandremo tsara mba hovakinao ireo teny rehetra ireo,

62 ka manaova hoe: Jehovah ô, Hianao no niteny hamely ity tany ity handringana azy, ka tsy hisy hitoetra eto, na olona na biby, fa ho tany lao mandrakizay izy.

63 Ary rehefa tapitra ny famakianao ity boky ity, dia asio vato afehy aminy, ary atsipazo ao Eofrata izy.

64 ka ataovy hoe: Toy izao no hilentehan’ i Babylona ka tsy hifongarany intsony noho ny loza hataoko mihatra aminy, ka dia ho reraka izy. Hatreto no tenin’ i Jeremia.
