< Jeremia 51 >
1 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, hamporisihiko ny fanahin’ ny mpandringana hamely an’ i Babylona sy izay monina ao Leba-kamay.
Thus says the LORD; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the middle of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind;
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.
And will send to Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
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,
Against him that bends let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifts himself up in his brigandine: and spare you not her young men; destroy you utterly all her host.
4 Mba hiampatrampatra any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Kaldeana ny faty, ary izay voatrobaka dia hiampatrampatra any an-dalambeny.
Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets.
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.
For Israel has not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the LORD of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.
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.
Flee out of the middle of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD’s vengeance; he will render to her a recompense.
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.
Babylon has been a golden cup in the LORD’s hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
8 Tampoka no naharavan’ i Babylona sy nahatorotoroany; Idradradradrao izy; Makà balsama hatao amin’ ny feriny maharary azy, fa angamba ho sitrana ihany izy.
Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
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.
We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reaches to heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.
10 Nasehon’ i Jehovah ny fahamarinantsika; Andeha, ka aoka hotorintsika ao Ziona ny asan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika.
The LORD has brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.
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.
Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the LORD has raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device is against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple.
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.
Set up the standard on the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the LORD has both devised and done that which he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon.
13 Hianao izay monina eny amoron’ ny rano be sady be rakitra, tonga ny fiafaranao, ka tsy hisy intsony ny filanao harena.
O you that dwell on many waters, abundant in treasures, your end is come, and the measure of your covetousness.
14 Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, nianiana tamin’ ny tenany hoe: Hofenoiko olona maro toy ny valala tokoa ianao, ary ireny dia hanakora hamely anao,
The LORD of hosts has sworn by himself, saying, Surely I will fill you with men, as with caterpillars; and they shall lift up a shout against you.
15 Dia Ilay nanao ny tany tamin’ ny heriny sy nampiorina izao tontolo izao tamin’ ny fahendreny ary namelatra ny lanitra tamin’ ny fisainany.
He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and has stretched out the heaven by his understanding.
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.
When he utters his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens; and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth: he makes lightning with rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasures.
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.
Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
18 Zava-poana ireny, dia asa mahatsikaiky foana; Amin’ ny andro hamaliana azy dia ho levona izy.
They are vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
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.
The portion of Jacob is not like them; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the LORD of hosts is his name.
20 Langilangiko sy fiadiako ianao; Fa ianao no ho entiko manorotoro firenena, ary ianao no ho entiko mandringana fanjakana,
You are my battle ax and weapons of war: for with you will I break in pieces the nations, and with you will I destroy kingdoms;
21 Ary ianao no ho entiko manorotoro soavaly sy ny mpitaingina azy, ary ianao no ho entiko manorotoro ny kalesy sy ny mpitaingina azy;
And with you will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with you will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider;
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;
With you also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with you will I break in pieces old and young; and with you will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;
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.
I will also break in pieces with you the shepherd and his flock; and with you will I break in pieces the farmer and his yoke of oxen; and with you will I break in pieces captains and rulers.
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 I will render to Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, says 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.
Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain, says the LORD, which destroy all the earth: and I will stretch out my hand on you, and roll you down from the rocks, and will make you a burnt mountain.
26 Ary tsy mba hakana vato hatao fehizoro ianao, na hatao vato fanorenana; Fa ho lao mandrakizay ianao, hoy Jehovah.
And they shall not take of you a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but you shall be desolate for ever, says the LORD.
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.
Set you up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillars.
28 Manendre firenena sy ireo mpanjakan’ ny Mediana hamely azy, ny governora sy ny lefiny rehetra ary ny tany rehetra anjakany.
Prepare against her the nations with the kings of the Medes, the captains thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all the land of his dominion.
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 the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every purpose of the LORD shall be performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant.
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.
The mighty men of Babylon have declined to fight, they have remained in their holds: their might has failed; they became as women: they have burned her dwelling places; her bars are broken.
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.
One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken at one end,
32 Ary efa azo ny fitàna, ary nodorany tamin’ ny afo ny heniheny, sady toran-kovitra ny miaramila.
And that the passages are stopped, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.
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.
For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.
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.
Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon has devoured me, he has crushed me, he has made me an empty vessel, he has swallowed me up like a dragon, he has filled his belly with my delicates, he has cast me out.
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!
The violence done to me and to my flesh be on Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and my blood on the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.
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.
Therefore thus says the LORD; Behold, I will plead your cause, and take vengeance for you; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry.
37 Ary Babylona ho tonga korontam-bato, ho fonenan’ ny amboadia, ho figagana sy ho zavatra mampisitrisitra, ka tsy hisy mponina.
And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling place for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant.
38 Hiara-mierona toy ny liona tanora izy; Hikaonkaona toy ny zana-diona izy.
They shall roar together like lions: they shall yell as lions’ whelps.
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.
In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, says the LORD.
40 Hampidiniko ho any amin’ ny famonoana toy ny zanak’ ondry izy, sy toy ny ondrilahy mbamin’ ny osilahy.
I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats.
41 Endrey! afaka Sesaka! Ary azo ilay fidèran’ ny tany rehetra, Endrey! tonga figagana any amin’ ny firenena Babylona.
How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
42 Ny ranomasina nanafotra an’ i Babylona; Voasaron’ ny habetsahan’ ny onjany izy.
The sea is come up on Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
43 Ny tanànany dia lao sy karankaina ary tani-hay, dia tany tsy onenan’ olona sady tsy misy zanak’ olombelona mamaky eo.
Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein no man dwells, neither does any son of man pass thereby.
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.
And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he has swallowed up: and the nations shall not flow together any more to him: yes, the wall of Babylon shall fall.
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.
My people, go you out of the middle of her, and deliver you every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD.
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.
And lest your heart faint, and you fear for the rumor that shall be heard in the land; a rumor shall both come one year, and after that in another year shall come a rumor, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
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.
Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will do judgment on the graven images of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the middle of her.
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.
Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for Babylon: for the spoilers shall come to her from the north, says the LORD.
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.
As Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.
50 Hianareo izay tsy voan’ ny sabatra, mialà, fa aza mijanona; Tsarovy Jehovah, raha mbola lavitra ianareo. Ary aoka ho mby an-tsainareo Jerosalema.
You that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the LORD afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
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.
We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame has covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the LORD’s house.
52 Koa, indro, avy ny andro, hoy Jehovah, izay hamaliako ny sarin-javatra voasokitra ao koa; Ary hitoloko eran’ ny taniny rehetra ny voatrobaka.
Why, behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will do judgment on her graven images: and through all her land the wounded shall groan.
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;
Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come to her, says the LORD.
54 Injany! misy feo mitaraina avy any Babylona sy fandringanana be avy any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Kaldeana!
A sound of a cry comes from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:
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.
Because the LORD has spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered:
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.
Because the spoiler is come on her, even on Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for the LORD God of recompenses shall surely requite.
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.
And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, says the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.
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.
Thus says the LORD of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labor in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary.
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.
The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And this Seraiah was a quiet prince.
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.
So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come on Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon.
61 Ary hoy Jeremia tamin’ i Seraia: Rehefa tonga any Babylona ianao, dia tandremo tsara mba hovakinao ireo teny rehetra ireo,
And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When you come to Babylon, and shall see, and shall read all these words;
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.
Then shall you say, O LORD, you have spoken against this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.
63 Ary rehefa tapitra ny famakianao ity boky ity, dia asio vato afehy aminy, ary atsipazo ao Eofrata izy.
And it shall be, when you have made an end of reading this book, that you shall bind a stone to it, and cast it into the middle of Euphrates:
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.
And you shall say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring on her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
