Jeremia 6
1 Hianareo, zanak’ i Benjamina, mandosira faingana hiala an’ i Jerosalema, ary tsofy ao Tekoa ny anjomara, ka manaova tsangan’ afo ao Beti-hakerema; Fa misy loza sy fandringanana be miposaka avy any avaratra.
O ye children of Beniamin, prepare to flee out of the middes of Ierusalem, and blowe the trumpet in Tekoa: set vp a standart vpon Beth-haccerem: for a plague appeareth out of the North and great destruction.
2 Ziona zanakavavy dia ampitoviko amin’ ny fiandrasan-ondry misy ahitra milenodenoka.
I haue compared the daughter of Zion to a beautifull and daintie woman.
3 Ao aminy no alehan’ ny mpiandry sy ny ondry; Haoriny manodidina azy ny lainy, ka samy handany ny ao akaikiny avy izy.
The pastors with their flockes shall come vnto her: they shall pitche their tentes rounde about by her, and euery one shall feede in his place.
4 Mitaova ianareo hanao ady masìna hamelezana azy; Mitsangàna, ka andeha isika hiakatra antoandro. Lozantsika! fa lasan-davitra ny andro, ka efa mandroso ny aloky ny hariva.
Prepare warre against her: arise, and let vs goe vp toward the South: wo vnto vs: for the day declineth, and the shadowes of the euening are stretched out.
5 Mitsangàna, ka andeha isika hanao latsak’ alina, ary aoka horavantsika ny trano-beny.
Arise, and let vs goe vp by night, and destroy her palaces.
6 Fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro; Kapao ny hazo, ary manandrata tovon-tany hamelezana an’ i Jerosalema; Io ilay tanàna hovaliana, feno fampahoriana ny ao anatiny.
For thus hath the Lord of hostes said, Hewe downe wood, and cast a mounte against Ierusalem: this citie must be visited: all oppression is in the middes of it.
7 Toy ny loharano mampiboiboika ny ranony no ampiboiboihany ny faharatsiany; An-keriny sy fandravana no re ao aminy; Eo anatrehako mandrakariva ny faharariana sy ny faharatrana.
As the fountaine casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her malice: crueltie and spoyle is continually heard in her before me with sorowe and strokes.
8 Minoa anatra ianao, ry Jerosalema, fandrao miombotra miala aminao ny fanahiko, ary fandrao hataoko tany lao ianao, dia tany tsy honenana.
Be thou instructed, O Ierusalem, lest my soule depart from thee, lest I make thee desolate as a land, that none inhabiteth.
9 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro: Hotsimponina fatratra toy ny fitsimpona voaloboka izay sisa amin’ ny Isiraely; Avereno ho amin’ ny sakeliny ny tananao toy ny mpioty voaloboka.
Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes, They shall gather as a vine, the residue of Israel: turne backe thine hande as the grape gatherer into the baskets.
10 Iza no hilazako sy hanariko mba handrenesany? Indro, ny sofiny dia tsy voafora, ka tsy mahahaino izy; He! tsatsoiny ny tenin’ i Jehovah ka tsy ankamaminy.
Vnto whome shall I speake, and admonish that they may heare? beholde, their eares are vncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: beholde, the worde of the Lord is vnto them as a reproche: they haue no delite in it.
11 Fa ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah mahafeno ahy ka tsy zakako tsindriana intsony! Aidino amin’ ny ankizy madinika eny an-dalambe sy amin’ ny fiokoan’ ny zatovo izany; Fa na lehilahy na vehivavy dia hosamborina avokoa, ary ny anti-panahy mbamin’ ny ela niainana koa;
Therefore I am full of the wrath of the Lord: I am weary with holding it: I will powre it out vpon the children in the streete, and likewise vpon the assembly of the yong men: for the husband shall euen be taken with the wife, and the aged with him that is full of daies.
12 Ary ho lasan’ ny sasany ny tranony mbamin’ ny sahany sy ny vehivavy koa; Fa hahinjitro amin’ ny mponina amin’ ny tany ny tanako, hoy Jehovah,
And their houses with their landes, and wiues also shalbe turned vnto strangers: for I will stretch out mine hande vpon the inhabitants of the land, sayeth the Lord.
13 Satria izy rehetra, na ny kely na ny lehibe, dia samy fatra-pila harena avokoa; Na ny mpaminany na ny mpisorona dia samy mamitaka avokoa.
For from the least of them, euen vnto the greatest of them, euery one is giuen vnto couetousnesse, and from the Prophet euen vnto the Priest, they all deale falsely.
14 Fa nataotaony foana ny fanasitranany ny faharatran’ ny oloko zanakavavy tamin’ ny nanaovany hoe: Fiadanana, fiadanana; Kanjo tsy misy fiadanana tsinona!
They haue healed also ye hurt of the daughter of my people with sweete woordes, saying, Peace, peace, when there is no peace.
15 Nomenarina izy noho ny nanaovany fahavetavetana, nefa tsy mba menatra akory izy ary tsy mba valahara; Koa ho lavo ao amin’ izay lavo izy, amin’ ny andro hamaliako azy dia ho tafintohina izy, hoy Jehovah.
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not ashamed, no neither coulde they haue any shame: therefore they shall fall among the slaine: when I shall visite them, they shall be cast downe, sayth the Lord.
16 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Mijanona eo an-dalana ianareo, ka izahao, ary anontanio izay lalana masaka hatry ny ela. Dia izay lalana mankany amin’ ny tsara, ka iny no izory, dia hahita fitsaharana ho an’ ny fanahinareo ianareo; Nefa hoy izy: Tsy hizotra izahay.
Thus sayeth the Lord, Stande in the waies and beholde, and aske for the olde way, which is the good way and walke therein, and yee shall finde rest for your soules: but they saide, We will not walke therein.
17 Ary nasiako mpitily ianareo hanao hoe: Henoy ny feon’ ny anjomara! Nefa hoy ianareo: Tsy hihaino izahay.
Also I set watchmen ouer you, which said, Take heede to the sound of the trumpet: but they said, We will not take heede.
18 Koa henoinareo, ry jentilisa, ary aoka ho fantatrareo, ry fiangonana, ny hanjo azy.
Heare therefore, yee Gentiles, and thou Congregation knowe, what is among them.
19 Henoy, ry tany! Indro, Izaho hahatonga loza amin’ ity firenena ity, dia ny vokatry ny heviny ihany; Fa tsy nihaino ny teniko izy, ary nolaviny ny lalàko.
Heare, O earth, beholde, I will cause a plague to come vpon this people, euen the fruite of their owne imaginations: because they haue not taken heede vnto my woordes, nor to my Lawe, but cast it off.
20 Nahoana no itondrana ditin-kazo mani-pofona avy any Sheba Aho sy veromanitra avy any amin’ ny tany lavitra? Tsy sitrako ny fanatitra doranareo, ary tsy mamiko ny zavatra vonoinareo hatao fanatitra.
To what purpose bringest thou mee incense from Sheba, and sweete calamus from a farre countrey? Your burnt offerings are not pleasant, nor your sacrifices sweete vnto me.
21 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro hasiako fahatafintohinana eo amin’ ity firenena ity, ka dia samy ho tafintohina amin’ izany ny ray mbamin’ ny zanany; Ho faty ny olona mbamin’ ny namany.
Therefore thus sayeth the Lord, Beholde, I will laie stumbling blockes before this people, and the fathers and the sonnes together shall fall vpon them: the neighbour and his friende shall perish.
22 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, misy firenena avy any amin’ ny tany avaratra, dia firenena lehibe mitsangana avy any amin’ ny faran’ ny tany;
Thus sayeth the Lord, Beholde, a people commeth from the North countrey, and a great nation shall arise from the sides of the earth.
23 Tsipika sy lefona no entiny, lozabe sady tsy mamindra fo izy; Ny feony dia mirohondrohona toy ny ranomasina, sady mitaingin-tsoavaly izy ary voaomana tahaka ny lehilahy ho amin’ ny ady, hamelezana anao, ry Ziona zanakavavy.
With bowe and shield shall they be weaponed: they are cruell and will haue no compassion: their voyce roareth like the sea, and they ride vpon horses, well appointed, like men of warre against thee, O daughter Zion.
24 Efa renay ny lazany, ka miraviravy tanana izahay; Fahoriana no mahazo anay, eny, fanaintainana tahaka ny vehivavy raha miteraka.
We haue heard their fame, and our handes waxe feeble sorrowe is come vpon vs, as the sorrowe of a woman in trauaile.
25 Aza mivoaka ho any an-tsaha, ary aza mandeha amin’ ny lalambe; Fa manan-tsabatra ny fahavalo, misy fampangorohoroana manodidina.
Goe not foorth into the fielde, nor walke by the way: for the sword of the enemie and feare is on euery side.
26 Ry oloko zanakavavy, misikìna lamba fisaonana ianao, ary mihosena lavenona, ka manaova fisaonana toy ny fisaonana zanakalahy tokana, dia fitomaniana fatratra; Fa ho avy tampoka amintsika ny mpandringana.
O daughter of my people, girde thee with sackecloth, and wallowe thy selfe in the ashes: make lamentation, and bitter mourning as for thine onely sonne: for the destroier shall suddenly come vpon vs.
27 Ho mpizaha toetra ao amin’ ny oloko no nanendreko anao, dia ho fiarovana mafy, mba ho fantatrao sy hizahanao toetra ny alehany.
I haue set thee for a defence and fortresse among my people, that thou maiest knowe and trie their waies.
28 Tena maditra avokoa izy rehetra ka mandehandeha manaratsy, varahina sy vy izy; Samy mpanao ratsy avokoa izy rehetra.
They are all rebellious traitours, walking craftily: they are brasse, and yron, they all are destroyers.
29 May ny tafoforana, levon’ ny afo ny firaka, foana ny nandrendrehan’ ny mpandrendrika, fa tsy voaisotra ny ratsy.
The bellowes are burnt: the lead is consumed in the fire: the founder melteth in vaine: for the wicked are not taken away.
30 Ataon’ ny olona hoe, volafotsy tsy lany izy, satria tsy lanin’ i Jehovah.
They shall call them reprobate siluer, because the Lord hath reiected them.
